Chapter 403 The Man in Black and the Little Disaster
"The duke's tomb?"
Mai was taken aback after hearing this, and looked a little embarrassed.
The blood race is a race that attaches great importance to funeral rites, because in the view of many blood races, death is just a longer sleep. As long as the remains are well preserved, there may be a chance to be resurrected in the future.
So the location of the tombs of the general blood clan is extremely secretive, and even the relatives of the family are rarely known, let alone the tomb of the duke.
"There is no need for a specific location, just an approximate area." Mu You added.
This requirement has been reduced a lot.
However, Mai Yi did not agree directly, but hesitated for a moment, and asked cautiously: "Brother, can I ask why?"
"because this."
Mu You didn't hide anything, just took out the blood niche and showed it to her.
"Ah, this, this is..."
Mai Yi looked at the blood-colored urn in Mu You's hand, and after a second of sluggishness, covered his mouth in shock.
The Shrine of Blood, when his parents were alive, he had heard from his father that it was one of the treasures of the ancestor of the blood clan, which had the effect of absorbing the blood of the ancestor, but it was said that this treasure had been destroyed before the ancestor died.
I really didn't expect that this thing still exists in the world completely, and it was obtained by my brother...
"Of course, you don't have to force it. If you don't want to, forget it. Just pretend I didn't say it..." Mu You looked at Mai Yi's stunned expression, and added another sentence.
He originally thought that Mai, as a vampire, would instinctively resent and resist seeing such insidious things, but in the end...
"Very good!"
Mai Yi looked at Mu You excitedly, and said excitedly: "With this, brother, you can continue to be promoted!"
"You don't mind?" Mu You was taken aback, her reaction was somewhat different from what she imagined...
"Why would you mind?"
Mai shook his head, and said seriously: "This is an artifact that has the chance to save our clan!"
"As long as my brother continues to use it to improve, sooner or later he will be promoted to the Duke, and even surpass the Duke, and become the new ancestor. At that time, the blood race will have hope to rise again!"
"..."
Mu You's expression became strange.
With this answer, the pattern unfolded...
I don’t know if she thought this way herself, or because of the influence of the blood bondage, her way of thinking became all centered on Mu You’s interests...
No matter what, there are only a few people in the blood race who can think like her.
"Just because you agree, doesn't mean that other clansmen will agree." Mu You reminded.
"I understand. Don't worry, brother, I will do this in secret."
With an expression of "I understand", Mai Yi bid farewell to Mu You after speaking, spread his wings and flew away from the city wall, as if he couldn't wait to start the work.
Seeing Mai's figure disappear into the darkness, Mu You exhaled, stood up, and looked at the center of the dark city behind.
A moment later, Mu You came to the core residence of the dark elves, a fortress with a dark and strange style as its main theme.
Introduced by the dark elves at the door, he met the dark elf queen Fred in the reception room of the fortress.
He is here to receive the horn task reward.
Although there is no need to help one of the vampires and werewolves eliminate the other as in the mission requirements, the mission has undoubtedly been completed: the vampires have moved collectively, and there will be no more wars between vampires and werewolves in the dark city. is the fundamental purpose of this task.
"The task was completed well."
Sure enough, Fred didn't mean to renege on his debt, and he acknowledged Mu You's contribution in the first sentence after meeting.
"So, what reward should I give you..."
Fried stood in front of the desk and started pacing after speaking, as if he was seriously thinking about this issue.
The reward for this mission is 'depending on the completion'. To put it bluntly, the other party probably didn't think that Mu You could complete this mission at first, and didn't think about the reward at all.
Until now, Mu Youzhen had completed the task, and it was done beautifully, so she had to temporarily prepare a prize.
Mu You is not in a hurry, the queen of the dignified clan should not just give him something to make up for.
Mu You waited patiently, until a few minutes later, Fred finally stopped, waved his hand, and threw three lights and shadows, floating in front of Mu You.
Mu You took a look, and the three things were a token, an egg, and a scepter.
【Decree of Dark Elf Elders: Alien elders promoted to Dark Elf enjoy the same rights as Dark Elf clansmen in Undercity, and automatically gain 500 Dark Elf reputation every day. 】
【Advanced Demon Egg: It can hatch a rare high-level demon. 】
【Scepter of the Moon: One of the artifacts used by the Goddess of the Moon. It can be activated once a week. After activation, it can change the moon phase in the current area and immediately enter the full moon state. (Cooling: 6 days and 14 hours left.)]
"Give it all to me?" Mu You looked at Fred and asked.
"Of course I choose one of the three." Fred rolled his eyes.
Sure enough...
Mu You was not surprised. It would be too generous if he could get so many rewards for one mission.
Shaking his head, he stepped forward, reached into the third light and shadow, and took out the scepter.
"Are you sure you want this?" Fred asked.
"Sure." Mu You nodded.
The scepter of the moon, this thing is obviously the body of the rubbing scroll that the tyrant tore up before, and even the cooling time is right: the scroll that the tyrant tore at noon has just passed about ten hours now.
Mu You has already seen the effect of this thing, making the nearby area directly enter the full moon. With this scepter, it will be equivalent to five full moon nights every month for him from now on!
Whether you are going to the silent library to look up information, or looking for vampire burials in the future, it can be used.
Moreover, there is one more thing that Mu You cares about: in the description of this thing, it is mentioned that it is an 'artifact' and belongs to the 'Goddess of the Moon'...
Mu You touched his chin. He knew that the dark elves also had a **** they believed in. However, since Fred could directly give this thing as a reward, then the **** they believed in must not be the moon god.
I don’t know if there are any remains of the moon **** in the other eleven sky cities...
Seeing that Muyou had firmly chosen the scepter, Fred nodded after hesitating for a second: "Alright, this thing was originally used to adjust the time of the dark night in the dark city, since the werewolves and vampires now The hidden danger has been eliminated, and this scepter is useless in my hands, so take it if you need it."
Of course Mu You would not be polite, so he took the scepter and left.
After leaving the Dark Elf Fortress, Mu You teleported directly to Red Rose Academy.
Today is the night of the full moon, and it is now close to eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, which is the time when the Silent Library can be entered once a month.
The information provided by the Son of Heaven before was wrong. He said that as long as he entered the mysterious space under the dungeon, he could know all the truth about the 'Fool', but in fact, Mu You did not know too many secrets after entering the power room. Many new doubts.
At this time, I just took the opportunity to enter the silent library to try to find out some new things.
Ten minutes later, Mu You came to the Red Rose Library. It was just after eleven o'clock. According to Jing Mo Niang, the next two hours are the time when you can safely enter the Quiet Library.
But Mu You didn't rush upstairs, but hid in the nearby shadows and waited for a while.
After a while, the sound of a high-heeled shoe came from far to near.
The librarian, Mrs. McKenna, came to the library to patrol the library on the night of the full moon as usual.
Last month, Mu You's actions were almost destroyed by her. This time, he learned his lesson and squatted in the shadows ahead of time. When Mrs. McKenna approached the library gate, Mu You appeared from the shadow behind her, giving the She hit a physics sap.
Then, taking advantage of her dizziness, he quickly poured her a bottle of sleeping potion.
Ms. McKenna collapsed to the ground in an instant, sleeping unconsciously.
Then Mu You dragged her into the shadow by the wall, and covered her with an invisibility cloak.
After finishing all this, Mu You breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, things became much simpler. Mu You released the silent spell, quietly stepped into the library, and began to go around in circles. The first floor circled five times clockwise, the second floor went counterclockwise five times, and the third floor went clockwise. ...and so on, up to the fifteenth floor.
The "circling method" provided by Jing Mo Niang is cumbersome and cumbersome, but it is currently the only method that can stably open the Silent Library. Mu You can only follow suit and climb the stairs.
Fortunately, there was no interference from the librarian this time, and his speed was much faster than last time. An hour and a half later, Mu You stepped onto the fifteenth floor.
Sure enough, in the middle of the stairs leading to the 16th floor, there is a partition, building number: 15.
Mu You stepped into it while maintaining a silent spell.
As described in the previous game text, there are rows of dense bookshelves filled with dust-covered books.
As for the original guards here, those silent beasts, they are all gathered on the roof of the building to watch the moon at this moment.
Mu You didn't waste time, walked to the center of the library, took out his wand, released the search spell, and searched for: Chuangjie Mountain!
A circle of golden runes spewed out from him, skipping over all the surrounding bookshelves, and countless words and symbols floated out from various books, circling rapidly in front of Mu You like a kaleidoscope.
However, after a few seconds, all visions suddenly disappeared and became invisible.
Mu You was stunned.
The search spell didn't give him any feedback?
That is to say, there is no information about Chuangjieshan in this space!
Mu You was surprised. This library claims to hide all the secrets and legends of the astral world, but there is no news about Chuangjie Mountain in this place, so he really doesn't know where to look for it.
After thinking for a while, Mu You cast the spell again, it was still the search spell, this time the search word was changed to 'Great Calamity'.
The result was the same as before, the special effects of the magic surged for a while, and then disappeared without a trace again.
"nor?"
Mu You couldn't help frowning, and somewhat understood the principle of this place.
It is true that many secrets of the astral world can be found here, but it is limited to the "current era of the astral world". Simply put, it only records things within the last 3,800 years.
The "Great Calamity Period" and "Chuangjie Mountain" are both concepts beyond the current era, so of course they cannot be searched.
Thinking of this, Mu You cast a spell again without believing in evil, and searched for: Little Disasters.
Finally the result this time!
After about two minutes, all the golden runes shrank rapidly and finally returned to one place.
Following the guidance of the rune, Mu You saw one of the books on the shelf in the corner.
Under the traction of the runes, the contents of this book are automatically projected in the air, forming a virtual version of the book in front of Mu You, who can turn the pages with the magic wand.
This is a thick notebook, and the title and author on the cover surprised Mu You.
"Small Disaster Essays", author: The Man in Black—Karman Lana.
"Huh?"
The first thing Mu You noticed was the name.
Those in black! Isn't this who, one of the elders of the Wizarding Association.
The ten elders of the Wizarding Association are composed of ten old men wearing clothes of different colors, among which the one in white has been slapped by him and Lin Xue.
According to Vivienne, the three elders, black, white and gray, seem to be the earliest founders of the Wizarding Association.
This notebook is actually written by the man in black...
Mu You immediately became interested, and hurriedly opened it to check.
"I have to admit, the Fools are really a magical and charming group of people—I thought so until they got into trouble..."
"... At first, no one knew where this group of people came from. They only knew that they possessed magical abilities and could easily pretend to be people of any race... This group of people always said all kinds of wild remarks. They seemed to be A born adventurer, always unwilling to settle down in a corner..."
"...Relying on various advanced concepts and camouflage abilities, the Fools easily ruled hundreds of races and became the overlord of the astral world. At the same time, they also helped our human race, which was originally a weak and short-lived race, occupy the most superior parts On the land, several great kingdoms were established, and eventually grew into the second largest race after the Fool..."
"...We are grateful to the fool, but the condition for the fool to support the human race is that we help them build sky cities... We were ignorant at first, so we readily agreed, and with the strength of the whole family, we worked hard to help them build twelve sky cities... "
"...But in the process, we gradually discovered the secret of the fools: they were blaspheming the gods, and they used the remains of the gods as fuel! At the same time, we also guessed what they wanted to do: they wanted to use the sky city to fly to the sky, set foot on The territory of the gods... They are playing with fire! I have a premonition that their actions are very likely to bring disaster to the star spirit world..."
"...I united with a few people of insight and went to persuade the fools, hoping that they would give up their plan to fly into the sky... The fools rejected us decisively... This is really a group of lunatics! They only care about themselves, but ignore the interests and safety of other races...It's a pity , At that time, Sky City had already been built, and we had no ability to stop them..."
"...In 2405 of the Protoss Calendar, the Fools finally made all the preparations... On this day, they flew into the sky in twelve sky cities, carrying the blessings of many races, and disappeared into the clouds of the sky, never heard from again , this disappearance is two hundred years..."
“…During the past two hundred years, several old buddies and I created the Wizarding Association to replace the Fool and take charge of the power and order of the Astral World…”
"...But I know that things will not be so simple. I always feel the shadow of disaster hovering over my head. This can be seen from the few races that suddenly disappeared for no reason: above the sky, Something must be happening..."
"...The Fools really made a big mistake! More and more races disappeared because of them... Until the day in 2605 of the Protoss Calendar, exactly two hundred years had passed, the Fools took the Sky City from the sky above He returned to the Star Spirit Realm, but he fled back in a hurry, and what came down with the Fool was something even more terrifying..."
"...On that day, the entire Astral World was devastated... The Fools used all their strength to destroy those things, but they obviously suffered retribution. All the Fools who returned from the high heavens were planted with a terrible curse and became Aging, weak, unable to use any magic anymore..."
"...The Fools begged for our forgiveness, hoping to get our help, to help them restore the sky city, hoping to return to the sky. Of course we rejected the Fools, and now in our eyes, they are already a group of disasters, adventure and exploration The idea is deeply rooted in their bones, keeping them will only bring disasters to the continent again in the future...So we gathered the power of the Wizarding Association and hunted down the fools everywhere..."
“…In the end, only a very small number of fools escaped back to their origin—the Land of Forgotten, and the rest of the fools who were not able to escape were chased and killed by us…”
"...The Fool has since become the history of the astral world, and has never appeared again..."
"...but I know that the matter is not over yet, because there are more fools on the other side of the 'wall'. Fools who have experienced failure will not learn their lessons, and they may be silently licking their wounds... sooner or later, They're going to come back..."
