Chapter 378: Dark Night

Below the post, there is also a picture.

On the table in the picture, there are eight map fragments, arranged in a standard octagonal shape, and the arrows on the back of the eight fragments all point to the center point.

Mu You clicked on the picture and observed it carefully. It was indeed a map fragment, and the arrows were arranged in a similar way.

However, does this mean that all eight fragments belong to the Evernight City? Mu You expressed doubts, otherwise, how to explain the three Evernight fragments on him?

There are only nine fragments in total for each city, eight plus three is eleven, and fragments can never be repeated.

Obviously, there must be some fragments of other cities that have been born mixed in to make up the number.

However, since the other party dared to post so blatantly, he should have a lot of Evernight fragments in his hand. Even if the remaining six fragments are in the other party's hands, he would not be surprised.

Mu You looked back at the post and found the column of the poster.

Bloody Dawn, Tyrant.

Both names look a little familiar.

Mu You searched the forum and immediately found a large number of results.

Bloody Dawn, a first-class power in a South American country, ranks 26th in the world power rankings. Its strength alone is not particularly outstanding.

However, the area that this South American country is dealing with in the Star Spirit Realm happens to be the Dark City, which is now the hidden place where most people think the entrance to the Evernight City is hidden. No wonder they are so confident in taking down the Evernight City. It turns out that they have taken advantage of the geographical location.

This is similar to the situation when the Dragon Group Ice Emperor took down Sunset and Dusk. Their entire power is rooted here, and their operations are deeply rooted in the local area. It is impossible for forces from other countries to intervene.

Therefore, the competitors that the Dragon Group Ice Emperor faced at the time were almost all other domestic forces, and all foreign forces were very tactful and automatically gave up these two cities.

The situation in the Dark City this time is even simpler, because Bloody Dawn is the only first-class organization in their country, and it is almost all-powerful in the country, and there is no competitor at all.

At the same time, the guild leader, ‘Tyrant’, is also a player with outstanding personal strength. He is currently at level 21 and is one of the few epic players in the world. In addition, it is said that Tyrant has a very powerful wolf king skin, and with this skin, he led all the indigenous werewolves in the Dark City and established an underground werewolf tribe. His subordinates also have a werewolf skin by brushing each other's fragments, and some guild senior staff also have various advanced versions of werewolf skins. It is not an exaggeration to call this organization a wolf den.

This also means that the actual power of Bloody Dawn in Dark City, in addition to their guild itself, also includes the entire indigenous werewolf tribe!

After reading the search results, Mu You also understood the source of the other party's confidence: in other places, the strength of this guild may not be enough to support them in competing for Sky City, but in Evernight City, they are the real leader, and no other player forces can match them.

"Local snake..."

Mu You pondered for a moment.

Unfortunately, he did not intend to give up Evernight City.

Now he already has three fragments in his hand, and he is ready to let Lin Xue take down the Lord of Evernight City.

Lin Xue has the inheritance of the God of Death, and he also has a level 30 Shadow Ghost at hand. Even if there is no help from the Octopus King this time, these two trump cards alone are enough to achieve a crushing victory in terms of strength.

After all, only the Fool can enter the entrance of Sky City. No matter how many werewolf natives the opponent leads, they cannot be used in the final competition. As long as they enter the entrance of Evernight City, the opponent's actual combat power is still only those of the Bloody Dawn itself.

After roughly understanding the opponent's strength, Mu You closed the forum and returned to the game.

After brushing the number of dungeon copies today, Mu You took out the Elf Horn.

The Elf Horn was actually refreshed last night, but he was dealing with the Shadow God at the time, and then he was busy dealing with various things in reality, so he didn't have time to log in to the game until now.

[You blew the Elf Horn. ]

[The Dark Elf Queen Fred Exile appeared in front of you and issued a task to you. 】

【The old grudge of the lightless night: Werewolves and vampires are an important part of the residents of the Undercity. The old grudge between the two races can be traced back to a very long time ago. For thousands of years, the two races have been fighting in the Undercity and are mortal enemies.

Due to the laws of the Undercity, the two races can barely maintain superficial peace at ordinary times, but every time the lightless night (that is, the full moon night underground, every time the moon enters the full moon night on the ground, all the light sources in the Undercity will fail, and it will become a completely dark night) comes, the werewolves will collectively transform, and the power and perception of the entire race will reach the peak, and this is also a good opportunity for them to hunt vampires.

Therefore, every lightless night is when the two races break out in a bloody battle to resolve their old grudges. The two sides will fight to the death in the streets and alleys of the Undercity regardless of the occasion. In the process of the fierce battle between the two sides, it often causes great damage and disturbance to the Undercity itself and other residents. For many years, the residents of the Undercity have been fed up with it.

Now, the once-in-a-millennium clan meeting of the vampires has begun. A large number of vampires from other places have poured into the Undercity. At the same time, a new wolf king has been born among the werewolves, leading the scattered werewolf tribes. It can be predicted that the intensity of the fight between the two sides will reach its peak on this lightless night, and the tolerance of the residents of the Undercity towards the two races will also reach its peak.

As the ruler of the Undercity, Fred cannot destroy the Undercity's "free and open" purpose and expel one of the parties from the city, so he can only entrust the Fool to act in secret. 】

[Task content: Prevent the dispute between the two parties on the night of the next lightless night! Six days later is the lightless night of this month. You can choose to help one of the vampires or werewolves, and make sure to make the other party disappear in the Undercity within a week, and permanently solve this hidden disaster for the Undercity. 】

[Task reward: depends on the completion. 】

The horn sounded, and I didn't expect to get a brand new task for the first time.

The dark elves' mission is to help solve the problem of the old enemies, werewolves and vampires.

From the mission description, the dark queen has obviously tolerated these two races for a long time and has long wanted to drive one of them out. However, as the mayor of a neutral city, it is not easy for her to personally favor one race and drive away the other, so it became a mission for him.

As for the method of completing the mission, it seems extremely troublesome, but it is not too difficult if you think about it carefully. Vampires and werewolves can coexist in the dark city for a long time because of their equal strength. Otherwise, if one of them is too strong, the other will be driven away long ago.

So if you want to complete the mission, you only need to destroy the balance of power between the two sides, and he doesn't need to do anything else. The strong side will naturally drive away the weak side.

This mission is relatively novel, but compared to the mission itself, what Mu You cares more about is a word in the mission description: lightless night!

"The city of fools will wake up at dawn and end in lightless night."

This was a prophecy provided by the virgin at the time.

The first half of this prophecy has come true. Dawn City was born at dawn, and the subsequent sky cities also rose at their respective corresponding times.

However, Mu You has never understood the meaning of the second half of the sentence, "Night without Light". He can only guess that Eternal Night City should be born between 2 and 4 in the middle of the night according to the rules.

This can certainly be explained, but it is a bit far-fetched after all. After all, dawn is a certain period of time, and Night without Light seems to refer to a whole night.

Until now, when I saw this line of explanation in the game text with my own eyes, Mu You finally understood: It turns out that the so-called "Night without Light" refers to the full moon night in the underground world!

As we all know, Dark City is a city that never sleeps. The fluorescent stones and sunflowers on the ceiling permanently provide light for this underground city. However, every time the moon is full outside, when the moonlight illuminates the earth, the underground light sources will collectively fail, causing Dark City to fall into complete darkness.

In other words, the time of the birth of the Evernight City is not limited to a certain period of the day, but to the full moon night of each month!

After confirming the content of this task, Mu You did not rush to choose. He pressed the pocket watch and looked at other tasks.

The result was still the same. The pigeon fairy was still a pigeon, and the forest elves and the daylight elves were still the original tasks.

After a comparison, it turned out that the task of the Dark City was the most suitable. After all, the Lightless Night was coming soon. If he missed this time, the Evernight City would have to wait another month to be born.

It just so happened that his competitor this time, the Tyrant, was also the leader of a werewolf tribe, which was directly related to this task. He simply stayed in the Dark City these days, dealing with the Bloody Dawn Organization, collecting map fragments, and completing this task by the way.

[You have accepted the task of "The Feud of the Lightless Night". Please rush to the Dark City as soon as possible to try to stop the upcoming dispute between werewolves and vampires. 】

After accepting the task, Mu You was not in a hurry to go to the Dark City, but controlled the character to jump off the Dawn City and returned to the Cook Islands.

He did not forget that there was still a task of "finding Louise" that was not completed here. He now knows the ending of Louise. In the final experiment, she became a shadow ghost and was probably destroyed in a battle with the Undead Society before.

And now, at least the eight pages of the diary must be handed over to Louise's grandmother. That was the last relic left by the little girl.

Although there is no reward for this task, since you have accepted it, you still have to see it through.

[You came to the village of Heiyu. ]

[You found Louise's grandmother at the west end of Heiyu Village, near the former residence of Yubaba. ]

[The old woman saw you coming and trembled. She seemed to have guessed something. After being absent-minded for a few seconds, she walked towards you nervously. ]

[When she came to you, the old woman carefully asked you about Louise's whereabouts. You chose...]

The options are [Tell the truth] and [Weave a beautiful lie].

The Undead Society was destroyed, so there was no need to hide anything at this time. Mu You directly chose to "tell the truth".

[You will tell the truth about what you saw and heard in the Undead Society, and give the eight pages of Louise's diary to the old woman. ]

[The old woman held the diary pages with trembling hands, looking at the familiar handwriting on them, and couldn't help but burst into tears. Her already old figure seemed to have aged a dozen years. ]

[After reading the diary, the old woman has understood her granddaughter's experience and ending over the years. Although she is too sad to express, there is finally a result. She doesn't have to worry and wait day after day...]

Mu You sighed as he looked at the text description. This kind of thing is very tragic, but such things happen almost every day in the bottom of the Star Spirit Realm. There is only so much he can do.

Shaking his head, putting an end to this task, Mu You was also ready to leave, but at this moment, a new text suddenly popped up in the game.

[You are about to leave, and the old woman suddenly called you. ]

[You are a person who keeps his promises. You completed her commission from beginning to end and helped her bring back her granddaughter's relics. The old woman took out a 'Demon Devouring Gu Jar' from her body and gave it to you. ]

[The old woman told you that now that her shadow has returned, she is ready to leave the sad place of the Cook Islands and go to the outside world while she still has a few years to live. This Gu jar was originally prepared to deal with the people of the Undead Society. Now that the Undead Society has been destroyed, this thing is no longer useful to her, so I will give it to you as a reward for the task. ]

[You have obtained the 'Demon Devouring Gu Jar': a poison jar that specializes in breeding Gu worms, which can produce a Demon Devouring Gu every day. ]

[Demon Devouring Gu: can be arranged as a trap, or planted for a unit during physical contact. After the Demon Devouring Gu enters the body, it will continuously devour the magic power in the host at a rate of 100 points per second until the magic power is less than 10% or the Gu worm is taken out. If the Gu is forcibly taken out, 100 points of life limit will be lost. ]

"Huh?"

Mu You's eyes lit up.

A jar for breeding Gu, this thing is not bad, it automatically produces a Gu every day, and can be planted to the enemy during battle to disgust people.

Swallowing 100 points of magic per second is not very deadly, but it will definitely make the enemy very uncomfortable if it is delayed for a long time. If the enemy forcibly takes the Gu, not to mention that he has to dig out his heart and liver before he can take out the Gu worm, he will also permanently lose 100 points of his maximum health... Anyway, no matter what you choose, as long as the Gu worm is used, it can disgust the enemy.

And if there is no enemy, this Gu can also be used by him. With the swallowing of the golden silkworm, it is equivalent to getting five points of action power for free every day, which is not a loss.

Sure enough, it is right to have a beginning and an end!

Mu You accepted the Gu jar with satisfaction, and then said goodbye to the old woman and left.

After returning to Sky City, he teleported directly to the Undercity.

[You appear in the Undercity. ]

Because he ran the familiar mission in the Undercity last week, he already had some understanding of the regional division of this city.

The Undercity is divided into the inner city and the outer city. The inner city is where the dark elves gather, and the outer city is where other races live together.

Mu You directly controlled the character to go to the outer city and wandered around the street with a pumpkin lantern.

His current goal is to find a werewolf first, then track the werewolves to find their nests, and explore the situation first.

Werewolves usually appear in human form and are difficult to identify. However, these guys also like to hide in some dark and remote places to stab civilians and plunder their lives, so Mu You also specifically patrols such places at this time.

After jumping back and forth in some hidden streets nearby for an hour, the pumpkin lantern finally sent a prompt.

[Pumpkin lantern special effects, triggered! ]

[You see a few drops of fresh blood scattered on the ground at the narrow and dark alley in front of you. Through the glow of the pumpkin lantern, you can see some traces of struggle and dragging on the ground. ]

[From the footprints left at the scene, the victim is most likely a young woman who was attacked by some creature and dragged into the alley. And judging from the freshness of the blood, the attack happened not long ago. ]

[This seems to be an opportunity to do something brave, should I track the traces immediately? ]
