Chapter 291 Undercurrent

[...The Wisdom Tree ran with difficulty in the woods, and its speed was as slow as a snail. 】

[The wisdom tree lost its last strength and fell to the ground tiredly. Its roots were automatically buried in the soil and took root on the spot. 】

This little thing's perseverance also impressed Mu You. Starting from zero, he chased for two full hours before finally exhausting the opponent's energy.

Seeing the opponent taking root, Mu You no longer had to be cautious and immediately stepped forward to capture him.

[You quickly rush to the wisdom tree. 】

[At this time, the wisdom tree has no self-awareness and looks like a berry plant that can be seen everywhere on the roadside. 】

[You shovel up the Wisdom Tree and the soil around it by the roots. 】

[You captured the rooted tree of wisdom! 】

The capture was successful, but Mu You was not so bold as to throw it into his backpack. Instead, he hurried downstairs to find a glass vessel for cultivating seedlings, sent it to the game, and transferred the wisdom tree into the vessel for storage.

If it is not sealed, this thing will escape again after waking up. Even if it is in the backpack, it will be quite troublesome to capture it once.

Looking back, Mu You temporarily quit the game, entered the space backpack, took out the wisdom fruit he had obtained before, threw it into a glass, and then covered it with a black cloth.

"The perception potion... seems to be a third-level potion..."

Mu You held Vivian's potion recipe book and after searching it, he quickly found the page about the enlightenment potion.

[Perception potion: third-level magic potion, main ingredients: one wisdom fruit, 15 ml of unicorn blood, 20 ml of pure water. Excipients: 1 drop of nettle oil, wormwood...]

In addition to wisdom fruit, the main ingredient also requires unicorn blood. Fortunately, he has no shortage of it. Mu You has collected a lot of unicorn blood before, and they are all high-quality blood.

As for other auxiliary materials, he also has some stocks on hand and can be refined directly.

After preparing all the ingredients one by one, Mu You called the Phoenix Fire, made it spit out the fire spirit, and started refining the medicine on the spot.

Each material was skillfully taken, processed, and thrown into the crucible, everything was done in an orderly manner.

The difficulty of third-level potions is not too high. After simply practicing hundreds of times, the first potion was successfully produced, and it was excellent level the first time.

[Perception Potion (Excellent Level): Within two hours after taking it, your perception will be greatly enhanced, and the progress of learning magic spells will be increased by an additional 105%. 】

The sophisticated level only has 5% more effect than the ordinary level, which is better than nothing.

Shaking his head, Mu You sent the potion into the game, rushed to the Imperial Capital through the teleportation array, and then found the Silent Bookstore on Siye Street, ready to test the effect of the potion.

[Silent Lady accepted the new book you sent and began to tutor you in magic...]

[You took the enlightenment potion, and your understanding has been greatly improved. 】

[Studying ‘Transformation’ is expected to end in two hours...]

Since learning the high-level space magic 'Transformation' on Tuesday, Mu You has taken the time to come here once a day. His top space talent can increase his progress by 10% every day here.

After five days of tutoring, the learning progress of this magic has now reached 51%.

Two hours passed in a hurry, and when Muyou came online again, a new prompt popped up.

[Silent Lady stopped instructing. 】

[Under the teachings of Silent Mother, your ‘Transformation’ learning progress has increased by 20.5%, currently at 71.5%. 】

Sure enough, the Enlightenment Potion was also effective for Silent Mother's make-up lessons, and the progress was doubled to more than 20% per day. At this rate, it only takes two days to learn this magic.

Today is already Sunday, and next Tuesday afternoon will be the time to enter. This magic can be learned before entering, and it can be regarded as one of the preparations for entering.

Of course, there is much more preparation than that.

Muyou spent the next two days doing tasks and making cards.

The past two days have been relatively calm in reality. In addition to various daily activities in the game, I mainly encountered two things.

The first is the Black Arts Club.

On Sunday morning, Mu You came to the abandoned church in the south of the imperial capital as usual, preparing to attend this week's fan meeting.

After the results came, I discovered that many people had gathered in the ruins south of the city, but the abandoned church was empty.

After making some inquiries, I learned that it was someone from the Wizards Association who had returned!

This group of people must have heard about the recent trends in the World of Fools. Recently, the Fools have been busy fighting for the Sky City and have no time to pay attention to the Wizards Association. This is a good opportunity for them to rebuild.

Therefore, the Wizards Association sent people to the Imperial Capital again and bought the land south of the city from the imperial royal family. It seemed that the intention was to rebuild the Wizards Association in the Imperial Capital.

It is precisely because of the re-entry of the Wizards Association that the Black Magic Association no longer dares to show its presence, and can only huddle up as before to avoid the spotlight.

Mu You actually didn't care whether the Wizards Association came back or not, but because these people came back, he lost a stable way to obtain black magic, which made Mu You quite unhappy.

However, there is nothing to be done about being unhappy. The Wizards Association's judgment is still accurate. Mu You is currently busy preparing for the Sky City and has no intention of competing with the Wizards Association, so he can only let them rebuild.

The second thing is over at Red Rose Academy.

In the new week, three new book pages have been refreshed in Red Rose's grocery store, which are low-, medium-, and high-level summoning book pages.

Yes, this week I have brushed all three pages of the Summoning series!

Mu You didn't have any pages of the summoning book yet, so he bought one of each.

Of course, the only summoning magic he could upgrade now was 'Hydra Guardian', which was upgraded from LV1 to LV5, and the upper limit of the hydralisks that could be summoned was increased from one to five.

In addition, there was the magic course this week.

Of the seven kinds of magic taught this week in the first grade, Mu You could learn up to six!

Spider Swarm: A low-level summoning magic that summons a group of small spiders to help you scout or fight.

Funny Spell: A low-level curse magic that automatically changes the appearance of a creature or object to what you think is funny (only changes the appearance, does not affect the original abilities and attributes of the creature.)

Forget Spell: A low-level curse magic that is released on a creature to make it forget its memories of the past period of time.

Flying Spell: A low-level wind magic that summons an item and makes it fly to you from a distance. For items that belong to you, the upper limit of the summoning distance is 100 kilometers; items that do not belong to you must be within your sight before you can cast the spell.

Armor Spell: A low-level strengthening magic that quickly strengthens your own physical defense capabilities.

Light Body Spell: Low-level wind magic, which makes a creature as light as a feather.

Six spells, all basic spells, each with its own uses.

The most useless one is the Funny Spell, which only changes the appearance but not the essence, which means that it does not weaken the enemy's combat effectiveness.

However, this spell also has its unique use, which is to deal with creatures that rely on terrifying appearance to scare people or are committed to causing mental pollution to people, such as ghosts, some mind readers, shapeshifters, etc.

No matter how abstract the creature looks, a spell will turn them into funny little yellow faces, and the deterrent power will naturally be greatly reduced.

There is no need to say more about the other spells, which are all commonly used spells and not expensive. You can learn them as soon as possible.

In addition to these two things in the game, another storm comes from the Fool Forum.

As the day of the birth of the City of Dawn approaches, the forum has been turbulent in the past two days.

More and more people have posted that they have rushed to the Sea of ​​​​Evil Spirits and are ready to witness this historic moment.

Many people firmly believe that the ghost captain deliberately set the meeting place in the evil spirit sea area, and there must be a reason: there is a great possibility that Dawn City is in the evil spirit sea area!

So after these people arrived in the evil spirit sea area, they immediately began to search for the traces of the Emperor's forces and the Ghost.

Unfortunately, before finding the ships of these two families, they were attacked by pirates from all walks of life!

The emergence of Dawn City this time is not only a major event in the world of fools, but also a carnival for pirates.

The local pirate forces entrenched in the evil spirit sea area have discovered the recent changes in the sea area. More and more unfamiliar faces have entered this chaotic land. There are many young people who have gathered three or five people and dare to come to the evil spirit sea area with a broken ship. They simply don't take the local pirates seriously.

The pirates will naturally not be polite to this. They have started the hunting mode and continue to harvest batches of "fat sheep" that are delivered to their doorsteps.

So in the past two days, the forum has been flooded with posts complaining and scolding pirates. Players have shared their experiences of being robbed. The worst one was robbed by pirates eight times in a row in one day. In the end, he was robbed of everything and had to log off to save his life.

This tragedy made everyone laugh, and finally made the players realize that the notorious evil spirit sea area is not something that ordinary people can enter casually.

Of course, there are also many powerful and well-prepared player teams who have successfully entered the evil spirit sea area with their strength and some luck, and quickly integrated into the local area and gained a firm foothold.

These forces are truly qualified to seek Dawn City. They are not short of strength or manpower, but they are short of a Dawn City fragment.

So after gaining a foothold, these forces immediately began to search the map for any fragment owner.

As a result, the ghost captain was nowhere to be found, but the emperor was easy to find.

The Emperor's forces had too many people, so it was difficult to hide completely. So they simply didn't hide and directly booked the Nick Island next to Turtle Island.

Thousands of people and sixteen large and small ships were docked around Nick Island, showing the wealth of the Divine Right of the King. Any ship that tried to approach would be bombarded indiscriminately by them.

After sinking more than a dozen ships in a row, the surrounding players with ill intentions were shocked.

In this atmosphere of intrigue, two days passed quickly.

On the 26th, Tuesday afternoon in the Evil Spirit Sea.

On Nick Island, in front of the teleportation array that had just been established, figures kept walking out of it.

An hour later, more than 560 figures gathered at the scene.

These 560 people were the backbone personnel of the Divine Right of the King, and all of them were the main bodies that came to the Star Spirit World through the "Gate".

Of course, in addition to this, the Divine Right of the King has more than 700 members who are controlling the game characters in reality, scattered in the surrounding areas, standing by as backup personnel, ready to support the main force at any time.

This totaled more than 1,300 people, which was exactly the total force that the Divine Right of the King had prepared to capture the city.

"Gentlemen, the next day is crucial for our Divine Right of the King. A month of hard work and preparation will all be pinned on this battle today..."

The emperor stood in front of everyone, calmly reciting the prepared oath.

The people below listened quietly, and no one made a noise.

It must be said that the emperor is indeed a leader with strong leadership, strong strength, handsome appearance, humble, calm, and smart, which is in line with the image of a wise man in the Western concept. From the strict discipline and clear reward and punishment system of the divine right of kings, it can be seen that he is qualified as the leader of a meeting. At least in the divine right of kings, no one disobeys him.

While the emperor was giving an impassioned speech, Jack's fleet was fully armed a few miles away.

Compared with the strict discipline of the divine right of kings on the other side, Jack's side is another style.

This group of people are all real pirates. They are used to being free and undisciplined on weekdays. They are all desperate people full of fierceness. They always think of alcohol and money first. It is impossible to get them to line up neatly.

"Where is the emperor?" Jack climbed up the mast skillfully and went into the lookout to ask.

The young man in charge of observing intelligence was holding a telescope and observing the distance: "They are here, and they are holding a swearing-in ceremony over there."

"Keep an eye on them!"

Jack sneered and looked at the deck below.

"Kim, Bazer, you two will pick a few smart ones and go to the island with me later! Everyone else, keep an eye on the ships on the Divine Right of Kings side, and report to me at any time if there is any movement!"

They have now collected four, seven, and eight fragments, and the only one missing is nine. As long as they can get fragment nine, their advantage after entering the city will be even greater than that of the emperor!

So Jack's target has locked the emperor. In his opinion, since the emperor has mastered the two entrance locations, he will definitely make some arrangements in advance. Even if they can't grab fragment nine directly, they must at least find a way to track the location of the entrance and exit.

"Boss, my informant reported that a group of people from the Divine Right of Kings were just found near Roweng Island!" At this time, his subordinates suddenly reported a message.

"Roweng Island?"

Jack was stunned and hurriedly took out the map of the evil spirit sea to search for it.

The so-called Roweng Island is actually a remote island located in the lower right corner of the Evil Spirit Sea, close to the edge of the Evil Spirit Sea.

"How many people have been found?" Jack asked.

"About 150 people!"

"150..." Jack frowned when he heard this. If the other party sent too few people, he could think it was a trick to deliberately lead them away.

But it happened that the number of 150 was not large, but not small either. It was at least one-tenth of the total number of the other party. If this was all a trick, it always felt a bit too much...

"What should I do, boss? Should I send someone to take a look?" asked the subordinate.

"First... send a ship to take a look!" Jack made a decision after struggling for a few seconds.

They only have four warships in total, and this ship is already a quarter of their combat power. It can be seen that Jack actually attaches great importance to this intelligence.

"What about the other one? Has the ghost captain appeared?" Jack asked again.

"Not yet..." The subordinate shook his head.

The ghost captain is naturally their key target, but all the intelligence personnel scattered around Turtle Island have said that they have not seen the legendary ghost ship.

"What's going on? It's almost time, and it hasn't appeared yet..." Jack muttered to himself.

They have seen the movements of the emperor clearly from the beginning. On the other hand, the ghost captain is like a real ghost, with a weak sense of existence, always appearing and disappearing...

To be honest, Jack still prefers the open enemy like the emperor. Even if the emperor's strength is so strong that it makes people despair, he at least has a bottom line in his heart.

And like the ghost captain, who obviously has the strength to match the emperor, but behaves too low-key, always makes people feel like a poisonous snake hidden in the dark. Such a person, if he doesn't move, it's fine, but if he moves, he will often make a big splash. In comparison, it is this kind of person who makes Jack feel more uneasy.
