Chapter 586 You Can’t Do It, Right?
Near the abyss, all the creatures quickly retreated to several sky cities.
Then, before the mirage approached, the eleven sky cities flew high one after another and drifted away in the opposite direction of the mirage.
Before, the mirage creatures did not show aggression towards the Fool because they had a common enemy, the robot, and the mirage tapir deliberately controlled the actions of these companion creatures.
Not long ago, after the robot turned to the Fool, the mirage tapir immediately noticed this change and revoked the restrictions imposed on the mirage creatures.
So now the mirage creatures treat the Fool the same as other creatures, and will attack as soon as they see him.
At the edge of Dawn City, several city lords gathered.
Looking at the mirage coming down aggressively, Solomon couldn't help but say: "If I had known earlier, I should have asked the robots not to return to the furnace so early, and stayed to fight the mirage with us before evacuating..."
Mu You shook his head: "It's useless, it's only a temporary solution. What we need is not only to let the mirage creatures leave the Star Spirit Realm, but also to let the mirage tapirs retreat and leave their birthplace outside our server No. 2, otherwise the players who stay on Earth will no longer be able to explore the real world in the future.
"And letting robots fight against mirage tapirs will definitely consume a large number of robots in the process, which is equivalent to wasting our vaccines, which is not in our interests. "The emperor added.
"That's true..."
...
While the city lords were discussing, the mirage quickly spread across the abyss below the Sky City.
The two-kilometer-diameter entrance to the abyss was like a flood flooding a rabbit hole compared to the mighty mirage. The mirage immediately formed a vortex above the abyss, like an inverted funnel, with mist swirling and pouring back madly.
The countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals hidden in the mirage seemed to have discovered something new at this moment. They rushed to the front of the abyss, surrounded the abyss, and relayed to accelerate the transportation of the mirage, as if they wanted the mirage to fill the big pit faster.
Mu You flew away from the Sky City, floated above the abyss, and observed the progress of the mirage.
Because of the active acceleration of the mirage creatures, the mirage poured in faster than expected. At the current speed, it would only take about It will take one day for the mirage to reach the bottom of the abyss.
And then Ava will have to divide her energy to resist the infiltration of the mirage, and the vaccine production will definitely be affected.
In other words, it is best for them to drive out these mirage creatures within one day.
After understanding the situation, Mu You flew directly back to Dawn City and teleported back to the city lord's castle.
At this moment, there were only herbalists in the city lord's castle. The two waited in the castle for a while, and two lights lit up on the teleportation array in front.
"I'm so tired, I'm finally back..."
"The mirage is really not a place for people to stay. It's like heavy smog. The air in our own territory is better..."
The figures of the night watchman and Linglong appeared one after another, both of them looked exhausted.
The night watchman found a sofa nearby and sat down, and began to pet the orange cat, while Linglong rushed to the table, picked up the teapot and gulped down half a pot.
"Done?" Mu You walked over and asked.
"Of course! The Mu family army is out, and it's easy to capture! "Linglong made a victory gesture, then took out five forest spirit cores and placed them on the table.
"Here, five, not one missing, all found."
"Where are the mystic crystals that those people imitated?" Mu You asked. Completing the mystic crystals is their ultimate goal.
"This kind of imitation crystal is disposable. It cannot be taken out after being fused by the human body, so those crystals that have been used can no longer be obtained... But we found the blueprint of this thing."
The night watchman took out a roll of blueprints from the ring: "This is the design of that kind of crystal. As long as the materials are found, it can be produced at any time."
"Oh? So it can be mass-produced?" Mu You was stunned. If the mystic crystals can be mass-produced, it will be of great significance to the Fool Collective.
"In theory, it is possible, but the materials required for this thing are a bit unusual. The people in the Mystic Club have only found so many dozens of them in so many years, and they have all been made into counterfeit crystals. ."
"What do you need?"
"A kind of stone called 'Echo Stone'. "The night watchman said.
"Echo stone..." Mu You recalled, but did not find this material in his memory.
"Echo stone?" The lamp god suddenly appeared from the oil lamp at this time, looking at the few people in surprise.
"Do you know? What kind of stone is this?" Mu You asked hurriedly.
"Of course, this is a material produced from the real world. Under different structures, it will show two opposite effects of attracting energy and repelling energy." The lamp god said.
After listening to his description, Mu You and the herbalist looked at each other, and a word popped up in their minds at the same time: semiconductor.
Semiconductors refer to materials with conductivity between conductors and insulators, and this kind of stone expands the energy range of semiconductors from "electricity" to all energy.
It is precisely because of its semiconductor-like properties that after special treatment of this stone, the energy can be operated and expressed in the fixed way they want, that is, after inputting black magic, it can be stably output as black magic and will never get out of control.
And this is exactly the characteristic of the secret crystal.
"It turns out to be something from the real world. No wonder it is so rare in the Star Spirit World. "The night watchman suddenly realized, then shook his head and said, "But I have seen this thing before, it is not as beautiful as we imagined."
"Although this thing can indeed store black magic, its magic reserve is much less than that of real mystic crystals. According to the quality of the raw materials, it is only about one-tenth to one-third of ours, and each crystal has only one side that can store magic circuits."
"At the same time, because the nature of magic cannot be repeated, theoretically, each person can only have a maximum of twelve such crystals in their brain, which means that each person can have a maximum of twelve fixed mystic arts."
"In addition, because this thing is disposable, it has a fatal flaw compared to mystic crystals, that is, it cannot actively produce mystic cards, nor can it actively convert ordinary magic into black magic. At the same time, it is precisely because there are no mystic cards that the black magic on these crystals is basically fixed, and it is difficult to replace it once it is engraved."
"That's not bad!" Mu You said.
Even though the night watchman said so many shortcomings in one breath, it could not cover up the biggest advantage of this thing: it can be mass-produced!
If it can be mass-produced, it means that everyone has the opportunity to own a full set of crystals. In the future, players will have the opportunity to change their jobs to mystics and master the ability to fight with black magic...
In addition, there is no need to worry about the replacement of real mystics. After all, this fake crystal creates a half-baked mystic, and each person can only have twelve kinds of black magic.
Moreover, because these people cannot convert black magic by themselves, the mystic cards that can switch black magic with one click will become precious circulation goods, and the mystic cards can only be produced by people in their mystic association, which will greatly increase the value of each member of the association.
Of course, the premise of all this is that they must first find enough echo stones.
"Is this kind of stone rare in the real world?" Mu You looked at the lamp god and asked.
"It's not rare. This kind of stone is usually rare because it is relatively unconventional. It is only used when making a very small number of special tools. The demand is small, and the output is naturally small. In fact, if you really go to the high sky world to dig carefully, you should still be able to find a lot of it." The lamp god said.
"That's good." Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. Hundreds of millions of players have been mobilized. As long as it is not something as priceless as the power stone, it is not a big problem.
At this time, the herbalist looked at the night watchman with some surprise: "You just said that this kind of crystal cannot actively convert secret arts. Since their crystals cannot actively create black magic, where does their black magic come from?"
"This is the key point! Can you believe it? The black magic these people have is actually scrolls they found from various ancient ruins!" The night watchman said, and began to take out magic scrolls from the ring.
One scroll after another, soon filled the entire table, at least hundreds of copies.
Mu You stepped forward and took a look, and found that they were all various small and medium-sized black magic scrolls. There were also large black magic, but there were very few, and the total was not enough to make up a handful.
"Did you loot all of this from those members of the club?" Mu You looked at the night watchman strangely. As a trophy, this number was too much.
"Only a small part of it is. Most of it is what I found in their treasure room?"
"Treasure room?"
"Yes, we seized their treasure house, and we moved everything inside without missing a single one. In addition to these, there are also many white magic scrolls and various books." The night watchman said.
Mu You then took it seriously and sat down next to him: "Tell me, what happened?"
"Well, it all started with the somewhat silly priest I met. I joked with him that I was the real leader of the Mystic Church and came to the bottom to visit incognito. As a result, he believed me directly and said he wanted to follow me..."
The story is undoubtedly very tortuous, but the night watchman's mouth is not afraid of twists and turns. He started from the beginning and talked for more than three hours, and finally told this story with many twists and turns.
In fact, if Mu You really wanted to know, he could just merge his memory directly, but after all, there were other people listening, so Mu You rarely interrupted him and let him talk to his heart's content.
After listening, everyone was speechless.
He did more than just take over the treasure house, he simply took over the position of the leader of the church!
Yes, the night watchman is now the real leader of the Mystic Church. All the members below have been brainwashed by him, and those at the top have been captured and executed one by one by his devout believers. Now, he has the final say in the entire Mystic Church.
"Then what? Where are those fools you subdued?" asked the herbalist, directly classifying those who were successfully brainwashed by the night watchman as "fools".
"Disbanded. The moment I became the leader, I immediately announced the dissolution of the Mystic Church on the spot, and let them go back to their own homes and find their mothers." said the night watchman.
The herbalist frowned: "Why disband? Although they are a group of fools, they are at least an obedient force..."
"Because it's too troublesome. I don't have the patience to manage the eating, drinking, defecating and urinating of a large group of people." The night watchman spread his hands, and the reason was very straightforward: lazy.
Mu You rubbed his brows helplessly. Forget it, this is not the point. The point is that the two of them have gained a lot from this action. They almost emptied the entire church. Compared with the life they invested when they joined the church, they have earned it back a thousand times.
"That's all we have to do here. What about you? You should have finished your preparations, right? So when will you go to heaven?" Linglong asked impatiently.
"Four days later... But before that, we have to deal with the trouble outside." Mu You said.
The night watchman and Linglong naturally knew that the 'trouble outside' refers to the mirage.
This thing has advantages and disadvantages. If it weren't for the sudden arrival of the mirage, which blocked all the functions of the forged crystals, causing the combat effectiveness of the church's senior staff to be reduced to one tenth, they would not have been able to complete this mission so smoothly.
"This thing was indeed brought by us fools. It is really not good to leave it alone... But how to deal with it?"
The night watchman pondered: "Even if we drive the mirage out of the Star Spirit Realm now, they can still come back after we leave, right?"
"This depends on you." Mu You looked at him and said.
"Me?"
The night watchman was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what he meant, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I... Let's talk to it first..."
"I'll go with you." Mu You said.
The night watchman did not refuse, and put his hand on Mu You's shoulder, and then the consciousness of the two entered the night watchman's sea of consciousness.
In the boundless white sea of consciousness, two people fell from the sky and finally landed on a water surface full of mist.
The night watchman waved his hand to disperse the mist, and the figure of a giant snake suddenly appeared in the space in front.
The upper body of the snake was entangled on a high tower, and the lower tail of the snake was leisurely flowing in the water.
A pale little boy was kneeling obediently under the tower at this moment, beating the snake with his fists to massage the snake.
Seeing the two people coming, the boy's face suddenly showed a resentful expression, but with the snake next to him, he didn't dare to say much, and hurriedly put away his expression and lowered his head to continue his work.
The two ignored Cain and walked directly in front of the snake and explained their purpose of coming this time.
"You want me to scare away the mirage tapir? Haha..."
After hearing the purpose of the two people, the snake suddenly laughed, and a snake head poked out from the clouds in the sky, stretched in front of the two people, and the snake tongue spit out, aiming at the two people.
"Of course! But why should I help you?"
"Don't be so heartless, Xiao Ba. After all, we have known each other for so long, and we are friends. Do you need a reason to help a friend?" The night watchman persuaded.
"Friend? Would you consider a person who has imprisoned you forever in your consciousness as a friend? A kind person!" Jushe turned into a master of yin and yang.
The night watchman wanted to say something, but was stopped by Mu You.
Mu You looked at the snake head in the sky, and said with a strange face: "You can't do it, right?"
"No? What do you mean? Do you want to say that I can't beat that stupid pig?" Jushe frowned immediately, and his voice was a little unhappy.
The night watchman immediately reacted after hearing this: "Oh, that's true. After all, it's the end of the Fear Season and the beginning of the Mirage Season. Your power should have faded, and the power of the Mirage Tapir is increasing over time. It's normal that you can't beat it."
"Forget it, let's go, we'll think of another way." Mu You shook his head in disappointment, called the night watchman, and the two turned around and were about to leave.
"Stop right there!"
Jushe roared angrily: "What a joke! Would I be afraid of that little piglet? When I was in Gaotian, that guy was only worthy of being my little brother and obeyed my orders. Do you know why among the four disaster seasons, the Mirage Season is the shortest and the Fear Season is the longest? That's because every time the season changes, it only dares to wait until I have had enough fun and hibernates before it dares to come out! Otherwise, it will never dare to show up if I don't leave!"
"Even if the Mirage Season has already begun, do you believe that I can scare it away just by showing up?" Jushe said confidently.
"Okay, Xiao Ba, no need to explain. We all understand. We won't believe it and embarrass you." The night watchman 'comforted' him, and then continued to leave with Mu You.
"Asshole!" The snake became even more furious, and the snake head stretched out, quickly intercepting the two people in front of them, blocking their way.
After glaring at the two people angrily, the snake sneered quickly: "Haha, I am the ancestor of playing with people's hearts. You don't need to use this kind of provocation on me. After all, don't you just want me to come out and help you?"
"I will tell you directly, you can, but you must first liberate my body and let me recover a certain amount of strength, otherwise, I will probably not be able to scare that guy." The snake said.
"This is impossible! What if your body escapes?" The night watchman shook his head immediately.
If the mirage tapir cannot be scared away, the consequence is at most that the Star Spirit Realm will lose a part of its land within a few thousand years, which will not have much impact on the fool, and will not have any fatal consequences for other creatures in the Star Spirit Realm. But if the snake's true body escapes accidentally, that would be the beginning of the real destruction of all living things.
"Haha, that's something you need to consider. Anyway, I've already told you the method, it's up to you whether you want to use it or not." After saying that, the snake turned around and climbed back up the tower, no longer paying attention to the two.
