Chapter 482 Fairy's Tears

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

[You collected a bottle of 'lucky dust' at the place where the fairy girl left. ]

It seems that the fairy girl has indeed recovered and started to lose dust normally when walking. Very good!

Mu You collected the dust and searched for 'bitter garden' on the forum. As expected, there was no record.

Then Mu You asked the lamp god to come out for consultation. Unfortunately, the lamp god was scratching his head after listening. In order to save lamp oil consumption, he spent most of his time sleeping in the desert after coming to the Star Spirit Realm. He rarely paid attention to the situation outside and was really unclear about the changes of the fairy tribe.

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

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

He was going to ask the old administrators. These people all survived from the last era. Even if the bitter garden did not appear in this era, it should have appeared in the last era, right?

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

Several administrators were busy fixing bugs at this time. After several days and nights of hard work, the confusion of the divinity system has been repaired a lot, and the situation of swallowing divinity will basically not happen again.

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

"Yes, the mission said that this is a sky city? Do you know this place?" Mu You asked.

Several people looked at each other, and the old man in the lead smiled bitterly: "Of course we know this, because Bitter Garden is the prototype of all sky cities!"

"Huh?" Mu You was very stunned: "Prototype... means, the twelve sky cities are all built in imitation of Bitter Garden?"

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

"Bitter Garden is a city created by the gods when they created the Star Spirit World. It is also the only city in the Star Spirit World that can float in the sky forever. The reason why it floats in the air is to facilitate the fairies to move to all parts of the world at any time and cast statues for the major races."

"At the end of the last era, we found a way to get in touch with the fairies. It cost a lot to get the blueprint of Bitter Garden from the fairies. The twelve sky cities now are all imitations built according to this blueprint. Whether in terms of materials or completion, they are a little worse than the original Bitter Garden, and many functions have not been fully realized."

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

"I see..."

Mu You nodded and asked again: "Where is Bitter Garden now?"

"This..."

The few people looked at each other and hesitated.

"To be honest, we don't know this either." The old man in the lead sighed.

"The Great Disaster was imminent, and after we got the drawings of the goblins, we quickly evacuated the Forgotten Land. It was not until the end of the Great Disaster and more than three hundred years after the beginning of the New Era that we returned to the Celestial World from the Forgotten Land. At this time, we found that the Bitter Garden was no longer in the Celestial World."

"Because there is no maintenance by the gods, each Great Disaster will reduce the territory of the Celestial World and cause some races to disappear. We thought it was the goblins' turn to disappear this time, so we didn't care."

"However, we later found a small number of goblins on the mainland, which proves that the goblins were not actually exterminated. As for where the goblins and the Bitter Garden went, we don't know. Later, we were never able to find it. In addition, we had already obtained the statues needed for building the city at that time, so we no longer needed the goblins, and we did not send anyone to investigate further. "

Mu You frowned when he heard this: "In other words, within three hundred years after the end of the last catastrophe, something happened in the goblins that led to the disappearance of this tribe?"

"You can understand it this way." The old man nodded, and then remembered something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, if you want to find the goblins, you can start from the imperial capital of the Lan'er Empire."

"Oh? How do you say?"

"Because in the last era, the last time we saw the Bitter Garden, it stayed above the current Lan'er Imperial Capital." The old man smiled.

"I see, 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 dim room.

The imperial capital, plus the 'bitter garden', these two names combined, made Mu You immediately think of a place - the bitter forest!

The Bitter Forest is a forbidden area in the Red Rose Academy. It is said to be quite dangerous and ordinary students are strictly prohibited from approaching it.

Mu You also unlocked the right to enter this forbidden area after passing the seventh-grade assessment of the academy.

Although it is just a small forest and cannot be compared with the vast Sky City like the continent, it is the place that Mu You knows at present and is most likely to be related to the "Bitter Garden".

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

[You appear in the academy dormitory. ]

[You see several owls circling outside the window, each holding a letter in its mouth. ]

[You step forward and open the window, and the owls suddenly swarm in and disperse, leaving only envelopes falling around you...]

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

Mu You opened the letters one by one and looked at them, and found that they were all letters from the Potion Club. The president and several vice-presidents were urging him to go to the club as soon as possible, saying that there was something urgent.

"Is there any activity?"

Mu You couldn't think of anything for the Potion Club to find him in such a hurry. Out of curiosity, he decided to take a look first.

[You have arrived at the Academy Potions Club. 】

[You see the Potions Club is crowded with people and the noise is endless, like a market place. Outside the club door, a large number of students were also crowded. They lined up in an orderly manner under the management of two club members. Everyone held several potion materials in their hands, but the content of the materials made you feel a little familiar. 】

【"Hi!"】

[You were about to step forward to find someone to ask for details, when you suddenly felt someone tapping you on your shoulder. 】

[A familiar voice sounded, you turned around and saw that it was Chrissy Fuya standing behind you. 】

[Fuya: I’ve been waiting for you! 】

Fuya spoke, but she didn't speak directly in the game, but sent a message to Muyou on the friend interface. Obviously, she is just controlling the game characters now.

"What happened?" Mu You asked hurriedly. Fuya was also a member of the Academy's Potion Club, and her level was close to that of a fourth-level potion master. She had a high status in the club. She should know this situation.

"You don't know? A few hours ago, the Wizards Association just released the formula for the evolution potion!" Fuya replied.

"Huh? Why?" Mu You was stunned. The evolution potion is the top priority for the development of the Wizards Association. It has been strictly guarded against leaks for so many years. How could it suddenly be announced on its own initiative now?

"I don't know about that either. Anyway, they suddenly disclosed the formula. The whole academy, no, the whole imperial capital was boiling. Everyone was frantically grabbing the three main materials and other auxiliary materials. The prices of several materials were so high It has skyrocketed and is now no longer available on the market..."

Fu Ya said: "After the formula was made public, the potion clubs of each college immediately gathered people to start verification. All fourth-level potion masters and those 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 made, it will belong to the society.”

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

"I have used up the number of times a long time ago. Unfortunately, my level is not good enough. I haven't refined a single bottle yet. All the materials have been wasted..." Fu Ya made an embarrassed expression.

Mu You looked at Fuya's reply, an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly understood.

The Wizards Association took the initiative to disclose the formula, probably because of the Fool.

Now that the Fools' belief system is online, with the belief system, players can use their belief to directly break through the bottleneck, and will no longer be stuck by evolution potions.

If the Wizards Association continues to be stuck on the formula, they will be stuck on themselves.

At the same time, the Fools had just defeated the giant with almost zero losses. This strength probably also surprised the Wizards Association.

If the Fool wants to subvert the Wizards Association now, it will be easy. Obviously, the Wizards Association is really scared this time. They would rather disclose the evolution potion formula, and also want to increase the strength of the human race as much as possible and reduce the conflict with the Fool. gap.

After trying to understand the reason, Mu You found it a little funny that the Wizards Association was so nervous. However, at the moment, human eyes had already left the star spirit world and looked at the wider sea of ​​stars.

Most of the players are already actively preparing for Gao Tian, ​​so how can they have time to play house with them? This wave of operations by the Wizards Association is purely unfounded.

"Why don't you try it? It's free materials!" Fuya said in confusion at this time.

"Ahem, there's no need for this..."

Mu You declined decisively. There was almost a mountain of evolution potions in his bag. He really had no shortage of them.

What's more, the purpose of the club is to cultivate the proficiency of its members. Even though the materials are free, the finished products will also be confiscated to the club. Mu You has long passed the stage of needing to build proficiency. His success rate of evolving potions has now been It is almost 100% that by refining medicine here, he is helping the society make money for free.

"You came just in time. Do you have time now? If you do, take me to the Bitter Forest." Mu You turned around and asked Fuya.

He has never been to the Bitter Forest, so it would be best to find someone who is familiar with the environment to go with him, and Fuya is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

"Bitter Forest? Why are you going to that damn place?" Fuya was stunned.

"It's a long story. Anyway, I want to go inside to find something, and I need someone to guide me." Mu You didn't have time to elaborate.

"in a hurry?"

"Quite urgent!"

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

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

[You and Fuya appear in front of the Bitter Forest. 】

[What appears in front of you is a dark, deep and dense jungle, with mist permeating it. From a distance, every dead tree in the forest seems to have a crying human face, baring its teeth and waving its claws in the dark night. , looks eerie and strange...]

Muyou is now almost immune to this kind of text that deliberately exaggerates a weird atmosphere. Compared with the oppressive power of the early black forest, what is this small broken forest? What's more, his strength is no longer the same as before.

[You and Fuya step into the forest without fear. 】

[Stepping on the soft ground in the forest, you can faintly smell a strange floral fragrance at the tip of your nose, which is sweet but also slightly bitter. 】

[You suddenly see a toad-like monster in front of you, charging towards you with its bloody mouth open. 】

[You switched the mecha skin and raised both pistol barrels towards the monster. 】

"Hey wait!"

[Before you opened fire, Fuya stopped you first. 】

[You stop temporarily and see the monster flash past the two of you until it disappears without causing any impact on you. 】

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

[The bush scene in front of you suddenly changed rapidly. A road opened in the original dense forest, and a cluster of purple mushrooms growing on the roadside was exposed. However, before you approached, the cluster of mushrooms burrowed into the ground and disappeared. 】

"This kind of mushroom is called 'psychedelic fungus', which can create illusions. It is everywhere in the Bitter Forest, so what you see here is often not real." Fuya sent an explanation to Muyou in time: "You A newbie will definitely not get used to it when he first comes in. Just follow me and I will let you beat you and then beat you again..."

Fuya looked like an experienced veteran leading a newbie.

Unfortunately, before she could finish speaking, Mu You in the game had already raised his two guns, pointing them at the top of her head, shooting out two tongues of fire.

[While Fuya was in a daze, you used your master-level marksmanship to draw a human body, showing off a line of fire along her body. As the last shot fell, an animal scream sounded behind Fuya, and an animal screamed. The squirrel with sharp teeth and claws fell to the ground covered in blood and made no sound. 】

[You kill the long-tusked squirrel, experience +12, lifespan +1, get squirrel fluff*1, bitter pollen*1. 】

"How do you know this is true?" After being stunned for a few seconds, Fuya's news came quickly.

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

"..."

Fu Ya didn't reply, she had already seen it, Mu You must have the means to distinguish the true from the false, otherwise how could he have acted so decisively and neatly.

It was only then that she remembered that the man in front of her had just killed five giants and was no longer on the same level as her. It was too much for such a person to even think about guiding him.

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

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

"What is this?" Mu You looked at the 'bitter pollen' mentioned in the text. This was the first drop he had seen, and the omniscient crystal did not give any special instructions.

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

"Oh? What can this thing do?"

"I can do it, chocolate..."

"Chocolate?" Mu You looked weird when he heard this. When he asked what he could do, he was asking what kind of magic potion he could make. But the other party answered him with a kind of food, and he was very confused.

"Don't underestimate chocolate! This kind of pollen can make moving magic chocolate. Although the taste is bitter, it has a strange sweetness. It tastes unexpectedly sweet. Also, it is said that this kind of pollen is the source of love. Chocolate made from fairy tears can help people increase their chances 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 will flock to the Forbidden Forest to hunt and collect pollen and make chocolates to give to their sweethearts. This has become a fixed event in the imperial capital, called 'Bitter Valentine's Day', and even Wizards from other places will also rush here to collect pollen!”

"That's why every year around Valentine's Day, this place is the most lively, but at other times it's deserted."

[With a longing expression, Fuya introduces you to the grand events of the ‘Bitter Valentine’s Day’ over the years. 】

Mu You was not interested in the gossip of these students, but he noticed a word in Fuya's words: Fairy of Love!

The purpose of his trip is to find the 'goblin'. Could it be that the Bitter Garden is really here?

"You said you have a large number of students coming in every year. Have any of you ever encountered goblins here?" Mu You sent a message to Fuya.

"Fairy? No, right..." Fuya was stunned for a moment, and said amusedly: "The Fairy of Love is just a legend, how can it be true?"

"Not one?" Mu You still didn't give up.

"Really not." Fuya said resolutely: "Elves are rare creatures that represent luck. It is said that even looking at a goblin from a distance can maintain good luck for a long time. If a goblin had appeared here, it would have exploded a long time ago. How could it be as deserted as it is now?”
