This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic Chapter 158

  Chapter 158 Technology in the Magic World

   "Give it back! It's mine!"

   Mu You ran ahead, and when he turned around, he saw the goblin chasing after him with red eyes, as if he was chasing and killing his family's enemies.

   Originally, it was almost impossible to catch up to a single goblin with a short stature.

   Unexpectedly, after the goblin chased for a few steps, his figure suddenly became swollen, and soon he swelled into a round ball. With a chirping sound, he rolled towards the ground at a high speed, and approached him in the blink of an eye.

   "Wait a minute, why does this picture feel a little familiar?"

  Mu You's eyelids twitched, and he immediately recalled the text description of being attacked by self-explosive fish countless times in the game.

   Before he had time to think about it, he subconsciously reached into his pocket and pressed on the pocket watch.

  Almost at the same time the button of the pocket watch was pressed, the goblin also rolled behind him, and sure enough, he blew himself up on the spot, exploding into countless flames.

  The next moment, time flow, back to five seconds ago.

   "Hey, is it common for creatures from other worlds to explode themselves..." Mu You cursed secretly, and continued to run away.

   "...that's my stuff!"

  The familiar shrill cry sounded, and Mu You quietly held the wand in his sleeve while looking behind him from the corner of his eye.

   Sure enough, the goblin turned into a ball again and rolled towards it.

   But Mu You was prepared this time. He saw that the opponent was within one meter, and the moment he was about to self-destruct, he activated Apparition.

   "Boom!"

  Intense explosions and flames enveloped the street below, and the goblin's body disappeared without a trace in the explosion.

   At this time, Mu You had already appeared on a roof not far away.

  Looking at the empty dark street below, the goblin didn't resurrect nearby. Obviously, it was bound to a residence in the city, and it would be directly teleported back to the house after death.

   Mu You didn't stay nearby either. This guy will definitely go to rescue the soldiers after he returns. He has to sneak away before no one finds out.

  Sprinted out for a while, and when passing a stone bridge, Mu You jumped directly into the river below, followed the underground river, circled the city for more than an hour, and finally landed from the other side of the city.

  At this time, harsh sirens have sounded throughout the city.

  The incident this time was very serious. Some people dared to rob the city openly, and they simply ignored the city security forces.

  A large number of people dressed as guards ran quickly in the city with weapons, and each of them held a brand new wanted warrant.

  Relying on his eyesight, Mu You could see clearly from a distance. On the arrest warrant was a fisherman with a big beard, a square face, and extremely thick eyebrows. His features were quite recognizable.

  Who is this?

   Mu You took a look at his own reflection in the water, and it was right that it wasn't him anyway.

  Of course, he still changed his attire and put the bamboo basket into his backpack. Then he purposely found a city defense army passing by, and swayed in front of him a few times, pretending to pass by by chance.

   As a result, the man just glanced at him casually, and ran away immediately, ignoring him at all.

   Mu You is completely at ease now, and is more satisfied with the prop of Thousands of People and Thousands of Faces.

  This item does not look strong in description, but it works really well when used in practice. It is perfectly immune to wanted people, and it is simply a must-have fetish for killing people and stealing goods!

   Glancing at his watch, it was already two o'clock in the morning. Mu You found an empty place and took out the things he had just snatched from the goblin.

  A map, a blood bond scroll, a beetle, and a punching stone.

   He was already familiar with the blood contract scroll and the punching stone, so he just threw it into the backpack and left it alone.

  Mu You first opened the map and took a look.

On the map is an old sea chart whose lines are somewhat blurred, in which a triangular sea area is drawn with a dotted line. Obviously this is the 'Devil Sea' that the goblins are talking about, and somewhere to the right of the center of the triangle sea area, Another mark was made with a cross, which is the only mark on the whole map. If there is no accident, this should be the wreck site of the Ghost.

   Looking at the corner of the map, around this triangular sea area, there are faintly revealed the prototypes of several pieces of land, with some place names marked on them.

  The nearest place to the Devil's Sea is called Heim City, which is also a coastal city belonging to the Laner Empire.

   After confirming the destination, Mu You put away the map, took the beetle and looked at it.

   It turns out that this is not a real creature, but a mechanical bug!

  According to what the goblin said at the time, this thing is the latest alchemy product.

Alchemy is similar to potion science, and it is also one of the popular skills in the astral world. It is biased towards the academic school of mechanical and magic engineering, such as gunpowder in the astral world, most magic lamps, magic equipment, and some mechanical alchemy Biology, etc., all belong to the application category of alchemy.

  The race of goblins is a genius in this area. It is said that in the south of the astral world, where the goblins gather, there is a professional goblin laboratory, specializing in the study of gunpowder and alchemy biology.

  Actually, the technological content of many tools in this world is not weak, which is equivalent to the earth in the early 18th century, and many products, with the blessing of magic, have the effect that the earth's technology is hard to come by.

To say that their only backwardness is probably because of the availability of clean and efficient energy such as magic power, so the astral world has not developed the branch of technology called 'electricity', so that there is a blank in the electrical age and information age, resulting in It seems that the technology is relatively backward.

   Closer to home, Mu You looked at the beetle the size of a fingernail in his hand.

   This little thing is a product of alchemy, and its function is to release it as a bug, because it looks the same as an ordinary bug in appearance, it is difficult to be detected, and it is very suitable for intelligence.

  Mu You really needed information right now, so he decisively input magic power to activate the beetle.

   With the influx of magic power, Mu You suddenly felt a certain connection between his mind and the beetle.

As soon as he let go, the beetle landed on the ground, crawled out, walked around the nearby streets, and finally found a tavern that was still brightly lit in the middle of the night, climbed up the window sill along the wall, hid in a flowerpot, and put buried itself in the soil.

   And as the beetle was in place, Mu You immediately heard a series of chaotic voices, coming from various diners in the hotel.

  The news these people talked about was very mixed, and they talked about it from all over the world. Mu You patiently discerned that every piece of news was useful to a foreigner like him who was unfamiliar with the place.

  After listening for about half an hour, Mu You grasped an important piece of news: In the central square of Sunset City, below the wizard tower, there is a teleportation array, as long as you pay, you can go directly to all parts of the empire!

  It's much easier to have a teleportation array!

  Mu You immediately took the beetle back and walked towards the city center.

If you continue to stay, you may have the opportunity to find out some more valuable news, but he doesn't have much time this time, 24 hours, almost 5 hours have passed, and he doesn't have much time to waste on such inefficient information Search on.

  According to what the drinkers said, the teleportation array was built near the wizard tower, which is the boundary of the wizard association, and there must be a large number of local wizards gathered in the astral world.

Even when the Arcane Tower didn't appear before, ordinary players would not dare to approach that place. The relics can cover up the aura of the fool so that ordinary people can't feel it, but it doesn't mean that they can hide it from those high-level wizards. That kind of place is equivalent to throwing yourself into a trap.

   But Mu You has a mask, so you don't need to worry about the effect of absolute concealment, it's just so domineering.

  Rushing all the way to the square in the center of the city, Mu You found that there were quite a few people waiting for the teleportation.

  The crowd formed a long line in front of the tower, and at the front of the line were two teleportation arrays full of arcane brilliance, one going out and the other going in.

   Mu You calmly mixed in the crowd and waited, listening to the movement ahead.

   Of course, there is a fee to ride this kind of teleportation array. Every time a few people are teleported, a magic ore needs to be added to fill up the energy, so the fee is not low.

  Mu You listened to those people breaking out the names of places one by one, and then the mages guarding the magic circle quoted prices. The minimum lifespan was five years, and the maximum lifespan was even 30 years!

  Mu You is not sure whether this kind of teleportation array really consumes so much, or most of the income is earned by the Wizarding Association.

   After queuing for nearly half an hour, it was finally Mu You's turn.

   Mu You showed his token to the soldiers in front of him, and the soldiers let him go after a brief look.

   "Where are you going?"

   "How long does it take to go to Heim City?" Mu You asked first.

   "Heim City, ten years of life." Sitting behind the table, the middle-aged wizard in charge of manipulating the formation said without raising his head.

  It's so expensive...

   Mu You muttered to himself. Fortunately, he will only take this trip, and he will be able to leave his teleportation array behind. This kind of one-time consumption is acceptable.

  However, Mu You didn't rush to the teleportation formation, but asked one more question: "How long will it take to go to the capital of the empire?"

  The wizard finally raised his head this time, looked Mu You up and down, then looked at the black iron identity token in his hand, frowned and said: "The transmission direction of the capital of the empire is currently closed to civilians."

"Um?"

  Mu You was taken aback when he heard that, it seemed that the Wizards Association was quite careful, in order to delay the time for the fools to approach the capital as much as possible, they simply closed the city roads.

   "Where the **** are you going?"

   Seeing Mu You's delay in leaving, the wizard became a little impatient.

   "Go to Heim City."

   Mu You stepped onto the teleportation array.

  The wizard pressed the switch a few times on the table with a blank face, and then threw a magic crystal into the funnel of the instrument in front of him.

  A beam of light shot up into the sky, instantly drowning Mu You's sight.

  【You paid the cost of the teleportation array, lifespan -10. 】

  【You came to Heim City from Sunset City through the teleportation array. 】

  After another slight dizziness, the scene in front of Mu You changed, and he came to a new world, but this time the dizziness was much better than the dark teleportation, and he got used to it in less than a second.
