Chapter 289 If You Want the Fragments, Come Visit the Prison

Done!

With the mission reward clear, Mu You has motivation.

There is no need to go to the fifth floor for the time being.

Mu You controlled the character to return to the fourth floor, sent the agreed KFC to the fat man, and gave him something to keep for him - the second fragment of the City of Dawn.

He found that there was no better place to keep the map fragments than this underwater prison!

If others want to get this fragment, they must sneak into the fourth floor and help the fat man escape from prison, and then snatch the fragment from him. As the territory of the Octopus King, the most difficult prison to escape from in the world, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to do this, otherwise a big pirate like Dragon Knight Finn would not be helpless.

At the same time, leaving a piece of "two" deliberately is also to cause some confusion to the remaining two forces.

After doing this, Mu You returned to the second floor and continued to find the scarecrow to brush the attack power.

In reality, the most important task at present is to refine medicine.

Mu You is not sure how much sleeping potion is enough, anyway, try to refine as much as possible.

Under such a large-scale refining, a lot of mandrake juice is needed, and the result is that the mandrake grass suffered again.

Moreover, this time the blood drawing was much more serious than before. In the past, Mu You was satisfied with only one tube of juice at most each time, but this time he drew four tubes before stopping.

Even though there was a crazy growth recovery body, so that it could not see any changes on the surface, but such a short-term and drastic loss also made the spirit of the mandrake grass sluggish for a time, and it looked like it had no desire to live. After returning to the glass room, it buried deeply in the soil and refused to move again, as if it had depression.

Mu You had no time to comfort it. After getting the materials, he immediately started to make medicine.

At his current level, this first-level magic potion can already stably produce rare-level, and there is a 50% chance of producing a legendary bottle of six bottles of rare-level.

The synthesis furnace takes four hours, and what is produced is not done in one go, but will gradually take shape during the four hours, so the result cannot be reset with a pocket watch, and Mu You can only bet on a 50% chance.

Fortunately, the first time was lucky.

Four hours later, the first legendary potion was produced!

[Dreamless Sleeping Potion (Legendary): A super sleeping potion that will make creatures fall into a very deep sleep after drinking it. The effect is huge, so don't try it easily! ]

The description uses words like "super" and "don't try it easily". I'm afraid the effect of this thing is really terrible. Most people will fall asleep and never wake up after drinking it...

However, to deal with the Octopus King, only things of this level can be effective. In short, the deeper the Octopus King's sleep, the safer it is to move in its body.

Not only that, more of this kind of thing should be prepared to avoid that the effect time is not long enough.

The next day, Mu You spent in refining medicine, and he was busy until late at night.

At 11:30 pm, the Elf Horn refreshed. In the game, Mu You teleported out of the prison, found an open space outside, and blew the horn as soon as possible.

[You blew the Elf Horn. ]

[The Sunlight Elf Queen Salina Sunshine appeared in front of you and issued a task to you. 】

【Surprise attack on White Maple City: White Maple City is a human city located south of the Sunlight Elf Territory. It was originally the territory of the neighboring Tasno Empire. It was abandoned in the war many years ago and became a deserted city.

This empty city was originally used as a buffer zone between the Tasno Empire and the Sunlight Elves, but the city has recently been occupied by a group of undead legions.

The arrogant undead continue to expand the corroded surface where only undead can survive, which has seriously threatened the safety of the Sunlight Elf Territory. At the same time, the neighboring Tasno Empire is also ready to move, and its ambition to invade the Sunlight Elves with the help of the undead is obvious.

Salina decided to take the initiative to eliminate the undead, take down this city, and rebuild the war barrier!

But sending a large army to sweep directly will give the Tasno Empire a handle to take action, so it is necessary to ensure a quick victory while hiding the truth. ]

[Task content: Escort a Sunlight Elf array master, sneak into Baifeng City secretly, and set up a teleportation array within 500 meters of the city center to ensure that the elf army can reach Baifeng City instantly.

Because the undead are very sensitive to the breath of living people, the escort personnel must not exceed one person, and the level must not exceed level 17. At the same time, because the combat power and mobility of the Sunlight Elf will be greatly reduced at night, this task can only be given to you who are a fool and have sufficient credibility. ]

[Reward: One optional arcane magic set accessory (epic level). ]

The horn sounded, and the first task was the Sunlight Elf. After completing the previous familiar pre-task, this week he was indeed issued a relatively heavy follow-up task.

It seems that the Sunlight Elf is preparing to attack an undead city. As for the specific intrigues between them and the surrounding countries, Mu You is too lazy to care. In short, the task is to escort a Sunlight Elf into the undead city, set up a teleportation array, help the elf army to descend, and fight a blitzkrieg.

The reward is to directly give a set of any arcane wizard suit, which is equivalent to giving 20,000 reputation!

You should know that it is difficult to obtain the reputation of the Sunlight Elves. These 20,000 reputations are quite valuable!

It is hard to say how difficult the task is, but the reward is good. However, Mu You is not in a hurry to choose, and will take a look at other tasks first.

[Time passes, and you blow the horn again. ]

[The forest elf high priest Layley Piper appears in front of you and issues you an urgent task. ]

[Explore the Undersea Prison: Seven hundred years ago, a group of forest elves led by an elder went out to sea for a trip, but they encountered an accident and lost contact, and have not returned to date. Recently, there has been news that the disappearance of the elves may be related to the Octopus King in the Evil Spirit Sea. ]

[Task content: Go to the underwater prison to investigate the authenticity of the news about the missing elves. If it is true, try to rescue the surviving elves. ]

[Task reward: depends on the completion. ]

Sure enough, the rumors he spread before played a role. The task of the forest elves has changed. It is no longer the Utopia task, but an "emergency task" is temporarily inserted to ask him to investigate the underwater prison.

This task can be completed right now, and it is a task that will never be available again, so it needs to be chosen first.

Then Mu You went back several times.

The result was not unexpected. The fairy and the fairy were still pigeons, and the dark elves were still the original dungeon tasks.

After confirming that there was no more suitable task, Mu You did not need to hesitate and directly chose Riley's task.

[You have accepted the mission of "Exploring the Undersea Prison". ]

After accepting the mission, it was almost dawn.

Mu You teleported to Phoenix City and prepared to go to Sunlight Glade to catch some Mana Wyrms.

But at this moment, a friend message suddenly popped up in the game.

[Your friend Edward Jack sent you a private message. ]

"Jack?"

Mu You raised his eyebrows. There were only two or three days left until the 26th, and the ownership of the nine fragments had been clarified. This spare tire sent him a message at this time...

Mu You clicked to check.

[Edward Jack: Brother, are you there? ]

[Lamplighter: Yes, what? ]

[Edward Jack: Brother, where are your fragments? Didn't you make a move? ]

[Lamplighter: No. ]

[Edward Jack: That's good... I found the fourth partner, hurry up, let's get ready to meet up! ]

[Lamplighter: Oh? ]

[Lamplighter: I thought you would abandon me after finding all three fragments. ]

[Edward Jack: What are you talking about? Am I such a disloyal person?]

[The lamplighter: Let me ask you, what is your relationship with the emperor now?]

Mu You didn't rush to follow his words, but first asked about the emperor's situation.

After the encounter outside the evil spirit sea area last time, I don't know if there was any other communication between the emperor and Jack. It's a good opportunity to find out.

[Edward Jack: The emperor? Forget it. I just met him yesterday. I originally went to negotiate with him in a friendly manner. I didn't expect that grandson to bombard us without saying a word when we met. Now we have declared war between us and the emperor!]

[Edward Jack: Of course, even if this didn't happen, we can't coexist peacefully with the emperor, because according to the information I have, the emperor holds two entrance fragments, one and nine, at the same time. In other words, if you want to find the entrance, you can either follow the emperor or snatch the fragments from him! ]

[Edward Jack: In short, there will almost certainly be a battle between us and the Emperor! ]

[Edward Jack: By the way, brother, why are you asking this all of a sudden? ]

[Edward Jack: Wait... Have you already defected to the Emperor? ]

[The Lamplighter: Don't worry, not yet. ]

Mu You replied "not yet", not "no", meaning that he did not rule out the possibility of joining forces with the Emperor.

The other party suddenly came to the door at this time, revealing a strange feeling. It is said that he has already obtained three fragments, so he should not need himself... So Mu You plans to use this method to trap the other party's purpose.

[Edward Jack: Brother, this is not possible! ]

[Edward Jack: Really, you can join forces with anyone, but not with the Emperor! ]

[The Lamplighter: Oh? What do you mean? ]

[Edward Jack: Well, man, as a show of sincerity, I won't hide it from you. I just got the news: Many people thought that among the nine fragments of each map, only '159' are valid fragments, and the others are just for making up the numbers, but it's not true. Each fragment has its own value! ]

[Edward Jack: Someone has already collected all nine fragments of the same Sky City. From the overall picture of the deconstructed map, this person came to a conclusion: After entering the Sky City from the two entrances, you can't go straight to the center of the city in a straight line. Instead, you must follow a fixed path and jump along the outer grid. After passing the fixed path, you can enter the city center. The specific path is presented as two circular roads: '12365' and '98745'. ]

[Edward Jack: You can connect these two columns of numbers on the nine-square grid to understand the meaning of the route. ]

Mu You drew on the nine-square grid.

1, 2, 3

4, 5, 6

7, 8, 9

12365 is equivalent to walking out a paper clip-like route. Similarly, 98745 is also the same paper clip route, which is completely symmetrical with the previous one.

In other words, if you want to reach the city center, there are only two fixed routes, and you must walk at least five grids.

[Edward Jack: This is equivalent to a game of jumping nine squares, and if there is no map, the difficulty and time of passing each square will increase greatly. The time difference between passing the same section with and without fragments is more than ten times! ]

[Edward Jack: Now the emperor has four fragments of 'one, three, six, and nine'. If he gets your 'two', his first route will be almost complete! In other words, he will reach the city center unimpeded after entering the city! ]

[Edward Jack: In addition, the two entrances are in his hands. When the city entrance is opened, the emperor can drive straight in. Even if we can track the entrance, after entering the entrance, we are not qualified to race with the other party. The other party will leave us behind and go straight to the city center to take the position of the city lord. ]

[Edward Jack: So, brother, your fragments must not fall into the hands of the emperor! 】

"So that's how it is..."

Mu You understood after seeing this. No wonder the other party came to him at this time, not to bring him a share, but to ensure that he did not turn to the emperor.

By the way, through Jack's mouth, Mu You finally understood the current distribution of fragments.

In the hands of the emperor: one, three, six, nine.

In Jack's hands: four, seven, eight.

In his own hands: two and five.

From this point of view, there is actually no conflict between him and Jack, because the 'one, three, six' he needs are all in the hands of the emperor.

But at the same time, Jack's three fragments have zero effect on him, even if the fragments are combined, it will be useless.

[Lamplighter: Don't worry, I won't join forces with the emperor. ]

[Edward Jack: Great! ]

[Edward Jack: Then brother, report your position quickly, let's sign a cooperation agreement quickly, formally, and never cheat each other! ]

[Lamplighter: Okay. ]

[Lamplighter: There is just a small problem. ]

[Edward Jack: What? ]

[Lamplighter: I am now imprisoned on the fourth floor of the Undersea Prison. If you want to find me, I'm afraid you have to visit me on the fourth floor of the prison first...]

[Edward Jack: ? ? ?]

[Edward Jack: Dude, your joke is not funny at all!]

[Lamplighter: No kidding, I'm really on the fourth floor.]

[Lamplighter: My fragments are also here. If you don't believe me, you can take a fragment and go around the entrance of the Undersea Prison. By the direction of the arrow on the fragment, you can easily judge whether what I said is true or false.]

After the message was sent, there was no news from the other party.

Mu You guessed that the other party should have gone for an experiment, so he didn't care and continued to control the character to enter the Sunlight Forest to complete the reputation task.

After about half an hour, Jack's message finally popped up again.

[Edward Jack: Damn, you are cruel! The Undersea Prison is the private territory of the Octopus King, and it's on the fourth floor, where serious criminals are located. What on earth did you do? ]

[Lamplighter: Haha, it's a bit embarrassing to say this. After I came to the Evil Spirit Sea this week, I heard a secret message: the son of the Dragon Knight Pirates was captured and imprisoned on the fourth floor of the Undersea Prison because of some mistakes. The Dragon Knight Pirates are offering a high reward to help him escape from prison. I just bought a map of the Undersea Prison from Beaver some time ago. In addition, I have many ways to hide and escape. I feel that there is a chance, so I want to try to get the bounty, but...]

[Edward Jack: You were captured? ]

[Lamplighter: I admit that I underestimated the strength of this prison... So now I am imprisoned on the fourth floor, with a sentence of 100 years. ]

[Edward Jack: ...You are really cruel! ]

[Lamplighter: Now I actually have no hope in the competition for the city lord this time. I just hope someone can come to rescue me from prison. 】

【Edward Jack: ...】

【The Lamplighter: Anyway, I don't want this fragment anymore. I'm going to post this on the forum to ask for help. No matter if you or anyone else can come to visit me in prison, as long as they can find a way to get me out of prison, I promise to give them the fragment for free! 】
