[You watched the fairy turn into a ball of light and disappear. 】

[You collected a bottle of 'Lucky Dust' where the fairy left off.] 】

It seems that the fairy fairy has really recovered, and she has started to lose powder normally when she walks, which is good!

Mu You put away the dust, turned around and searched for 'Bitter Garden' on the forum, but as expected, there was no record.

Immediately Mu You called the god of lights out to consult, but unfortunately, the god of lights also scratched his head after hearing this, in order to save the consumption of lamp oil, he spent most of his time sleeping in the desert after coming to the Star Spirit Realm, rarely paying attention to the situation in the outside world, and he really didn't know about the changes in the goblin clan.

"Such an important race, it is impossible for the world to evaporate......" Mu You frowned.

After hesitating for a moment, he closed his eyes and went into a meditative state, connecting his mind to the line of cause and effect.

He was going to ask the old administrators. These people all survived from the last era, even if the era of the Garden of Bitterness didn't appear, there should have been the last era, right?

Fortunately, several administrators did not refuse to communicate with him, and Mu You's consciousness soon reappeared in that underground space.

Several administrators were busy tinkering with bugs at this time, and after a few days and nights of liver explosion, the confusion of the divine system has been repaired a lot, and there will basically be no more devouring of the gods.

"Bitter Garden?" Hearing Mu You's question, several people paused, and they all looked at him in surprise.

"Yes, the mission says it's a sky city? Do you know this place? Mu You asked.

Several people looked at each other for a moment, and the old man at the head smiled bitterly: "Of course we know this, because the Bitter Garden is the prototype of all Sky Cities!" ”

"Huh?" Mu You was stunned: "Prototype...... Meaning, the twelve sky cities are all modeled after the Garden of Bitterness? ”

"Of course, otherwise do you think that with our mortal means, we can design such a miraculous building as Sky City?" The old man laughed.

"The Garden of Bitterness is a city created by the gods when they first created the Star Spirit Realm, and it is also the only city in the Star Spirit Realm that can float in the sky forever. The reason why it is allowed to float in the air is so that the elves can move to various parts of the world at any time and cast gods for the major races. ”

"At the end of the last epoch, we managed to get in touch with the elves, and it took a lot of money to get the blueprints of the Garden of Bitterness from the elves. The current twelve Sky Cities are all imitations based on this drawing, and in terms of materials and finish, they are a little worse than the original Bitter Garden, and many functions have not been fully realized. ”

"So strictly speaking, only the Bitter Garden is the real city in the sky, and the ones we make can only be regarded as copycat products." Others added.

"I see......"

Mu You nodded, and asked again, "Where is the bitter garden now?" ”

"This ......"

Several people looked at each other as they spoke, and they all hesitated.

"To be honest, we don't know about that." The old man at the head sighed.

"At that time, the Great Calamity was imminent, and after we got the blueprints of the goblin clan, we hurriedly withdrew to the Forgotten Lands, and then it was not until the end of the Great Calamity that we returned to the Star Spirit Realm from the Forgotten Lands more than three hundred years after the start of the New Era, and at this time, we found that the Garden of Bitterness was no longer in the Star Spirit Realm."

"Because there is no maintenance of the gods, every time the cataclysm will reduce the realm of the star spirit realm by a part, and at the same time cause some races to disappear, we thought that this time it was the turn of the goblin race to disappear, so we didn't care."

"However, we later found a small number of goblin clans on the mainland, which proves that the goblin clan has not actually been exterminated, as for where the goblin clan and the bitter garden went, we have not been able to find it later, plus the gods we needed to build the city at that time have been purchased in advance, and there is no demand for the goblin clan, and we have not sent people to investigate deeply."

Mu You frowned when he heard this: "In other words, within three hundred years after the end of the last Great Tribulation, what happened within the goblin clan that caused the disappearance of this clan?" ”

"It can be understood that way." The old man nodded, then remembered something again, and hurriedly said: "By the way, if you want to find the goblin clan, you can start from the imperial capital of the Lanel Empire." ”

"Oh? How so? ”

"Because in the last era, the last time we saw the Garden of Bitterness, the place where it stayed was over the current Imperial Capital of Lanel." The old man smiled.

"Understood, thank you."

Mu You got the clue he wanted, thanked him, and withdrew his consciousness from the causal line.

"Imperial Capital ......"

Mu You opened his eyes in the dimly lit room.

The imperial capital, coupled with the 'Bitter Garden', the combination of these two names made Mu You immediately think of a place - the Bitter Forest!

The Bitter Forest is a forbidden place located in the Red Rose Academy, which is said to be quite dangerous, and it is usually forbidden for ordinary students to approach half a step.

Mu You also unlocked the permission to enter this forbidden land after passing the seventh grade assessment of the academy before.

Although it is only a small piece of forest, it cannot be compared with the vast Sky City as vast as the continent, but this is already the place that Mu You currently knows, and it is most likely to come into contact with the 'Bitter Garden'.

Thinking of this, Mu You logged into the game again, and the character teleported to the Red Rose Academy.

You appear in the academy dormitory. 】

[You see several owls circling outside the window, each with a letter in their mouths.] 】

[You stepped forward and opened the window, and the owls suddenly swarmed and scattered, leaving only the envelopes fluttering around you......]

Unexpectedly, as soon as I came back, I was bombarded with letters.

Mu You opened the letters in turn and looked at them, and found that they were all letters from the Potions Society, and the president and several vice presidents were urging him to go to the club as soon as possible, saying that there was an emergency.

"Is there any activity?"

Mu You couldn't think of anything that the Potions Society could do to find him in a hurry, so out of curiosity, he decided to take a look first.

[You've come to the Academy's Potions Club.] 】

[You see that the Potions Club is crowded, and the noisy sound is endless, as if rushing to the scene. Outside the club, there were also a large number of students, lined up in an orderly manner under the management of two club members, each holding several potion materials in their hands, but the content of the materials made you feel somewhat familiar. 】

["Hey! ”】

[You were about to go up to someone to ask for clarification, and suddenly you felt someone tap on the shoulder. 】

[A familiar voice sounds, and you turn your head to see Christofia standing behind you.] 】

[Fuya: It's your wait! 】

Fuya spoke, but instead of speaking directly in the game, she sent a message to Mu You on the friend interface. Obviously, she's only controlling the game character now.

"What's going on?" Mu You hurriedly asked, Fuya is also a member of the Academy's Potions Society, and her level is close to that of a fourth-order Potions Master, and her status in the society is very high, she should know this situation.

"You don't know? A few hours ago, the Wizarding Guild had just revealed the recipe for an evolution potion! Fuya replied.

"Huh? Why? Mu You was stunned, the evolution potion is the top priority of the development of the Wizarding Association, and it has been strictly guarded for so many years without leakage, how can it suddenly be announced on its own initiative now?

"I don't know about this, anyway, they suddenly disclosed the formula, the entire academy, no, the entire imperial capital is boiling, everyone is crazy to grab the three main materials and other secondary materials, so that the prices of several materials are soaring, and now the market can no longer buy ......"

Fuya said: "After the formula was made public, the Potions Club of each academy immediately gathered people to start the verification, and all Potions masters of level 4 and close to level 4 can practice five times for free in the club, and the club will reimburse the materials, but if the finished product is refined, it will also belong to the club." ”

"Then why didn't you go in and try it?" Mu You asked her.

"I've run out of times a long time ago, but unfortunately the level is not at home, not a single bottle has been refined, and all the materials are wasted......" Fuya made an embarrassed expression.

Mu You looked at Fuya's reply, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly understood.

The Wizards Association took the initiative to disclose the formula, I'm afraid it's because of the fools.

Now that the Fools' belief system has been launched, with the belief system, players can use faith to directly break through the bottleneck, and they will no longer be stuck by the evolution potion.

If the Wizarding Guild continues to jam the recipe, they are stuck on their own.

At the same time, the Fools' side has just beaten back the giants, and there is almost zero loss, and this strength may also surprise the Wizards Association.

If the current Fool wants to subvert the Wizarding Association, it is already a simple matter, and it is obvious that the Wizarding Association is really afraid this time, and would rather disclose the formula of the evolution potion, but also want to pull the strength of the human race as much as possible and reduce the gap between the Fool and the Fool.

Thinking about the reason, Mu You felt a little funny, the wizarding guild was nervous like this, however, at the moment, the eyes of human beings had already left the astral spirit realm, and looked at the broader sea of stars.

Most of the players are already actively preparing for the high heavens, how can they have time to play with them? The Wizards' Guild's manipulation is unfounded.

"Aren't you going to try it? Free materials! Fuya said again at this time.

"Ahem, you don't need to ...... this"

Mu You decisively refused, the evolution potions in his bag were almost piled up, and he really didn't lack this thing.

What's more, the purpose of the club is to cultivate the proficiency of the members, saying that it is a free material, and the finished product will also be confiscated by the club, and Mu You has long passed the stage of needing to pile up proficiency, and the success rate of his evolution potion is almost 100% now, and he is refining medicine here, which is equivalent to helping the club make money for free.

"You're just in time, do you have time now? If so, take me to the Bitter Forest. Mu You turned his head and asked Fuya.

He had never been in the Bitter Forest before, and it was best to find someone who was familiar with the environment to go with him, and Fuya was undoubtedly the most suitable person.

"Bitter Forest? What the hell are you doing in that place? Fuya was stunned.

"It's a long story, but I want to go inside and find something, and I need someone to lead the way." Mu You didn't have time to elaborate.

"In a hurry?"

"I'm in a hurry!"

"Okay...... Then you come with me. Fuya saw that Mu You was in a hurry, and she didn't ask any more questions, and immediately sent him an invitation to form a team.

After Mu You agreed, she went back to the dormitory to get some props and medicines, and after confirming that everything was ready, she took Mu You to a woodland in the back mountain.

You and Fuya appeared before the Bitter Forest. 】

[In front of you, there is a dark and deep dense jungle, the mist is diffused in it, from a distance, every dead tree in the forest seems to have a crying human face, in the dark night teeth and claws, looks gloomy and weird......]

For this kind of text that deliberately exaggerates the strange atmosphere, now Mu You is almost immune, compared to the oppressive force of the Black Forest in the early days, what is this little broken forest? What's more, his strength is no longer the same as before.

You and Fuya stepped into the forest without fear. 】

[Stepping on the soft ground in the forest, you faintly smell a strange floral fragrance on the tip of your nose, sweet and bitter at the same time. 】

[You suddenly see a monster in the shape of a toad in front of you, rushing towards you with its bloody mouth wide open. 】

[You switch the mech skin and raise the barrel of your two-handed gun towards the monster.] 】

"Hey, wait!"

[Before you can fire, Fuya stops you. 】

[You stop for a moment, and you see that the monster flashes in front of the two of you until it disappears, without affecting you in any way. 】

[After the monster disappeared, Fuya stepped forward, took out her wand and aimed it at the bushes in front of her, and released the 'True Form'! 】

[The bush scene in front of you suddenly changed rapidly, and a road opened between the original dense forests, and a cluster of purple mushrooms growing on the side of the road was exposed, but before you could get closer, the cluster of mushrooms burrowed into the ground and disappeared. 】

"This mushroom is called a 'hallucinogenic fungus' and it creates illusions, and it is everywhere in the bitter forest, so what the eye sees here is often not real." Fuya sent Mu You an explanation in time: "You novice must not be used to it when you just come in, just follow me, I'll let you beat you and ...... again."

Fuya has a posture of an old fritter leading the way for the new one.

It's a pity that before she could finish speaking, Mu You had already raised two guns in the game, and two strings of flames appeared above her head.

[In Fuya's stunned daze, you played a master marksmanship of human body strokes, showing off a string of fire lines along her body, and with the last shot falling, an animal scream sounded behind Fuya, and a squirrel with sharp teeth and claws fell to the ground covered in blood, and was silent. 】

[You have killed the Toothed Squirrel, EXP +12, Lifespan +1, gain Squirrel Fluff x1, Bitter Pollen x1.] 】

"How do you know it's just true?" After a few seconds of sluggishness, news from Fuya soon came.

"I said it was intuition, do you believe it?" Mu You returned.

“……”

Fuya didn't reply, she had already seen it, Mu You must have the means to distinguish the true from the fake, otherwise how could he have made such a decisive move.

It was only then that she remembered that the person in front of her had just killed five giants, and he was not at the same level as her for a long time, and such a person actually wanted to guide him, which was really too much.

When Fuya was still melancholy, Mu You had already manipulated the character to pick up the loot.

Needless to say, the tail is a very common drop, but the key is another.

"What is this?" Mu You looked at the 'bitter pollen' prompted in the text, this was the first time he had seen the drop, and the omniscient crystal didn't give any special instructions.

"Bitter pollen, a potion material, is a specialty of this forest, but it's not a real flower, because no one knows where it comes from, and no one has ever seen what its body looks like, in short, all creatures in this forest will drop at least one bitter pollen when they die, which is where the name 'Bitter Forest' comes from." Fuya explained.

"Oh? So what can this thing do? ”

"I can make it, chocolate ......"

"Chocolate?" Mu You's face was strange when he heard it, he asked what he could do, he was asking what potions he could make, but the other party gave him a kind of food, and he was very confused.

"Don't underestimate chocolate, hey! This pollen can make moving magic chocolate, although the taste is bitter, but there is a strange sweetness, eating unexpectedly, also, legend has it that this pollen is the tears of the love fairy, and the chocolate made from it can help people improve the chance of finding true love! In a sense, it is more precious than potions. ”

"So every year around Valentine's Day, a large number of students flock to the Forbidden Forest to hunt and collect pollen and make chocolates for their sweethearts. This has become a regular event in the imperial capital, called 'Bitter Valentine's Day', during which even wizards from other places will rush over to collect pollen! ”

"That's why every year around Valentine's Day, it's the most lively here, and the rest of the time it's off the beaten track."

[With a longing expression, Fuya introduced you to the grand occasion of 'Bitter Valentine's Day' over the years. 】

Mu You wasn't interested in the gossip of these students, but he noticed a word in Fuya's words: the goblin of love!

The purpose of his trip is to find the 'goblin', could it be that the Garden of Bitterness is really here?

"You said you get a lot of students coming in every year, so have any of you ever encountered goblins in there?" Mu You sent a message to Fuya.

"Leprechauns? No......" Fuya was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The love fairy or something is just a legend, how can it be true?" ”

"Not a single one?" Mu You is still not dead.

"Not really." Fuya said categorically: "Fairies are rare creatures that represent luck, it is said that even if you look at the goblins from afar, you can maintain good luck for a long time, if there were goblins here, it should have exploded a long time ago, how could it be as deserted as it is now?" ”
