This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic Chapter 429

  Chapter 429 Mirage and the God of Lamp

[You read the letter, and then you learned that Pocket Toad heard that there are many hidden treasures buried in the desert a few days ago. It happened that the ice blue frog once expressed that he wanted to watch the solar eclipse in the desert, so the two frogs hit it off and went to travel in the desert together and treasure hunt.

   But when they passed through the Scarlet Desert a few days ago, Bing Lanqing suddenly disappeared mysteriously. Pocket toad can't be found nearby, and because of the monotonous terrain in the desert, he is afraid of getting lost, so he dare not leave the missing place casually, so he can only ask his friend to ask you for help...]

   After reading the letter, Mu You was stunned.

   Not to mention you a pair of amphibians, it's fine to travel in the desert with your head hot, and you lost your daughter-in-law...

   Fortunately, at the end of the letter, Frog attached a description of his current location: next to the Ghost Pillar Stone under the Red Rock Cliff.

   "Red Rock Cliff? Ghost Pillar?"

   Mu You has never heard of these two names, but now there are a bunch of local aborigines around him, so he is not afraid to find them.

  【You reached out to stop the excitement of the believers below, and asked if anyone knew about the place 'Under the Red Rock Cliff, next to the Ghost Pillar Stone'. 】

  【Most believers looked at each other in blank dismay, obviously not understanding. Only one of the believers raised his hand suddenly, indicating that he knew where it was. 】

  【"Red Rock Cliff is a cliff that stretches for dozens of miles in the middle of the Scarlet Desert. Because the entire cliff is composed of blood-red rocks, it is named Red Rock Cliff."】

  【"At the bottom of the Red Rock Cliff near the edge, there grows a wind-eroded pillar tens of meters high. Because its shape resembles a human head and skeleton, it is called the 'Ghost Pillar Stone'."】

  【"Very good, lead the way!" Your praise made the believer overjoyed, and he nodded hurriedly. 】

  【You left a teleportation array in the palace, and then let others move freely, led this believer and dozens of other senior believers out of the palace, boarded the land boat, and set off towards the red rock cliff...】

  The Red Rock Cliff, located in the center of the Scarlet Desert, is not too far from their location. The land boat arrived after driving for about an hour.

  【Under the guidance of the believers, the land ship finally stopped under a tall cliff. You led the believers to leave the land ship and came to the front of the cliff. Looking up, the blood-red cliff hundreds of meters high in front of you is particularly conspicuous in this world of yellow sand. 】

  【A frog suddenly jumps on your shoulder, it is the pocket toad you have been separated for many days. 】

  【Pocket toad waved its webbed claws excitedly, pointed to the cliff ahead, and complained to you about its experiences in recent days with snot and tears. 】

  【It has been waiting here for three full days since the letter was sent. During this period, it finally found the ice blue frog! 】

[It turns out that the ice blue frog was caught by another dry frog in the desert, and it is located in this red rock cliff. When the temperature is the highest in the afternoon every afternoon, the images of the two frogs will appear on the rock cliff on time. , but the pocket toad couldn't find the entrance to the rocky cliff at all, and could only watch his partner being teased by other frogs every day, and the back molars of jealousy were about to be crushed...]

  The corners of Mu You's eyes twitched. This experience... can only be described as a miserable frog.

  However, the image appeared on the cliff?

  What does this mean, this cliff also has the function of a movie curtain?

  Pocket Toad's words were vague, and Mu You couldn't tell for a while, so he could only arrange other believers to search nearby to see if there was any entrance mechanism or the like in this place.

   As a result, I searched for a long time, but found nothing.

   Until about two o'clock in the afternoon local time, a new prompt popped up in the game.

  【Suddenly you heard a series of exclamations from the believers around you, and everyone looked in the direction of the cliff with surprise. 】

  【You also looked towards Hongshiya, and found that a moving image really appeared on Hongshiya at this time! 】

[There are two frogs in the picture, one of which is a species of flower frog with a beautiful ice-blue plant growing on its back, and the other is a desert stone frog with a back like a pimple on the back of a toad, covered with red Beads of yellow, blue, green, and purple are also inlaid on the tongue and jaw. 】

  【In the picture, the desert stone frog is holding a few strange flowers in its mouth, and is crouching near the ice blue frog with a flattering face, as if it wants to win the ice blue frog's heart with the gift in its hand. 】

[It's a pity that Luohua deliberately flows ruthlessly. Facing the stone frog's courtship behavior, the ice blue frog curled up in a corner with its eyes closed, motionless. It was surrounded by dead insects and scorpions of all kinds, but it remained unmoved. A posture of going on a hunger strike to death. 】

  【The ice blue frog's highly poisonous physique makes the stone frog anxiously wander around it, but never dares to approach it directly. 】

  【At this time, the pocket toad is more anxious than the stone frog in the video! 】

  【At the moment when the image appeared, the pocket toad became enraged, leaped up, stuck to the rock wall, and scratched frantically at the position of the stone frog in the image with its two claws. 】

  【Unfortunately, all its anger was poured on the stone cliff, and it had no effect on the stone frog in the image. 】

  Mu You looked strange.

   So this picture is a mirage?

  It is not uncommon for mirages to appear in the desert. However, mirages generally appear at high altitudes. How can they be directly projected on rocky cliffs?

  Of course, regardless of whether this scene is a mirage or not, since the image is projected, it means that the things inside must have happened for real, and Bing Lanqing is indeed lost somewhere.

  【You are looking up at the courtship scene on the stone cliff, and suddenly you hear a believer around you shouting: "The Zuma stone frog! It is the Zuma stone frog raised by the legendary Julius Caesar!"】

  【What this believer shouted immediately aroused the curiosity of other believers, and they rushed to ask for details. You also pricked up your ears to eavesdrop. 】

[According to what the believer said, the Zuma stone frog is a kind of dry frog that only appears in desert areas. It can spit out colorful energy beads to attack the target. It is extremely rare, and Caesar once captured a Zuma stone frog , took him as his pet, and has been following him ever since. 】

  【All believers were overjoyed after hearing the legend. Caesar's pet frog suddenly appeared in this mysterious picture. Does it mean that Caesar is also nearby? 】

   Mu You was taken aback, this thing in the mirage is actually Caesar's pet?

  He was still depressed about the interruption of Caesar's clue just now, but the clue was immediately connected again! Moreover, it directly shows the place where Caesar may be currently in the form of a picture.

  【"The believers beg Caesar to show up!" After a short silence, a believer suddenly knelt down and shouted. 】

  【"The believers beg Caesar to show up!" More and more believers raised their hands and prostrated themselves on the ground. Pious shouts are connected in the desert, fluttering with the wind...]

  【After shouting for several minutes, a strange whirlwind suddenly rose up at the scene, engulfing a large amount of yellow sand flying into the sky, covering the sky for a while, and stopping everyone's voices abruptly. 】

[You looked up in amazement, and saw that on the red rock cliff at this time, the original image of the frog had disappeared, and it had been switched to an oasis with green mountains and green waters, and in the center of this oasis, a dark-skinned Blue, with wings on its back, and a giant figure with a braid on its head is rapidly taking shape...]

  【"I am the desert emperor Radars Caesar. Who calls me by name?" A deafening voice came out of the giant's mouth, which immediately changed the color of the world under the red stone cliff, and the wind howled. 】

   "Is this okay too?"

   Mu You's eyes were round, and he didn't know what to do.

  He just wanted to say that this thing is just a picture projected from a distance from a mirage, and it is useless for you to shout here.

  In the end, I didn't expect that such a wailing and howling would actually call out Caesar...

  However, what the **** is this description of Caesar's appearance?

  Giant + wings, Protoss?

   Puzzled, Mu You hastily clicked on the 'giant' in the text.

  The feedback message that popped up as a result surprised Mu You even more.

  【God of Lamp, Height: 42 meters, Gender: Male. Body Shape: Powerful. Current star rating: 6 stars...]

   "The Lamp God..."

   Mu You couldn't believe it.

  Caesar is actually a lamp god?

   But how is this possible? The information Evans told him before clearly mentioned that Caesar was a mortal, and he only gained some special powers after mastering the magic pen. How could he become a lamp god?

  【Seeing the giant in the picture, the believers were stunned for a few seconds, then burst into cheers. Many believers even wept with joy, they actually found the disappeared Caesar! 】

  【"Who are you waiting for?" The giant in the picture made a deafening sound again. 】

  【All believers looked at you after hearing the words. 】

   Mu You knew that he had to come forward at this time.

  Although the current situation is a bit weird, he, a twenty-five-year-old boy who has just mixed in, actually wants to represent a group of Caesar believers and communicate directly with Caesar...

   But no matter what, the other party is just an image in the screen now, can you hit him through the screen?

[You cleared your throat, walked to the cliff, and introduced loudly to the giant on the screen: "We are members of Caesar's religion, and your loyal supporters in the astral world. At present, our church has raised a lot of funds. Waiting for you to lead the army back to the star spirit world..."]

  【The giant on the screen was overjoyed after hearing your introduction, and laughed loudly: "Yes, it seems that my name has not been forgotten by the world!"】

  【"That's natural, but I don't know where you are now? When will you be able to return to the star spirit world?" You took the opportunity to ask. 】

["My army and I are in the desert, but now we are trapped in the territory of the kingdom of God, unable to show up in this world! You came just in time, everyone immediately went to search for the 'miracle magic lamp', and returned to the world during the solar eclipse Here, light up the magic lamp, and you can open the gate of the 'Kingdom of God'! At that time, you will all be heroes!" After the giant finished speaking, he turned his gaze to you: "From now on, you will be my guardian in the astral world. Spokesperson! As long as you can lead the congregation and help me open the gate of the Kingdom of God, I will personally confer you a general and enjoy inexhaustible glory..."]

  【The giant's voice stopped abruptly here, and the image on the red rock cliff quickly dimmed and faded as the surrounding temperature dropped, until it disappeared completely. 】

  【The scene fell silent, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, everything just now seemed like an unreal dream. 】

[After a brief silence, the crowd burst into cheers again, and all the believers looked at you with admiration: it was you who led them here that gave these believers the opportunity to meet the real Caesar Great Emperor, now you have become the spokesperson appointed by Caesar again, and now your status in the hearts of everyone is already a great figure second only to Caesar! 】

   Mu You's expression was strange. What was originally a very ordinary MLM organization has really turned into a "Caesar's Cult"!

   What is even more magical is that he, a young boy, has become the only "spokesperson" appointed by Caesar...

   Mu You shook his head amusedly.

  The question now is, is Caesar the lamp god?

   If so, what happened to the troubadour before?

  The troubadour preached the greatness of the lamp **** everywhere, and tried to fool him into looking for the magic lamp in the manticore's lair.

Combined with the information that the magic lamp can release Caesar now... Mu You subconsciously thought of a possibility: Could it be that this troubadour is also a follower of Caesar, but he has no ability to **** the magic lamp from the manticore, so he fooled Someone else went to steal the magic lamp, and he came to release Caesar again?

  Mu You couldn't be sure at the moment, so he could only suppress it for the time being.

  【You ask other believers, when is the next solar eclipse? 】

  【The believers answered you in a hurry: there will be a solar eclipse every month in the scarlet desert, and the next solar eclipse should be five days later according to the time calculation. 】

   "After five days..."

   Mu You nodded. Fortunately, there is still time, and there is no need to wait another month.

   He definitely needs to look for this magical lamp. Regardless of whether it will be used to liberate Caesar in the end, it is always right to hold this thing in his hands in advance.

   Next, Mu You ordered the believers to return to the palace, inform the others of the news, and then let everyone set off immediately to find the location and information of the manticore's lair.

   And he took the land boat alone to the Abys Temple on the northern border of the Scarlet Desert. Evans said before that his 100,000 troops were stationed here.

  He now needs to go to Evans to confirm whether Caesar is the **** of the lamp. This information is very important and will directly affect his next actions.

  【Before you came to the Temple of Abyss, your land ship was stopped by several soldiers from the Atrammar Empire: "The important military camp ahead, the idlers retreat!"】

  【You stepped off the land ship, put away the land ship, took out the treasury ring presented by the king, and introduced your identity to the leading soldier. 】

  【The leader of the soldier checked the ring and confirmed your identity, but looked at you vigilantly, and suddenly waved back: "Take it!"】

  【Dozens of Eldromal soldiers immediately surrounded you! 】

  【You saw more and more soldiers rushing out of the barracks, surrounding you! 】

  【Evans steps out through the crowd and comes to you. 】

  【Your prestige in the Eldromal Empire has dropped to 'Stranger'. 】

"Um?"

   Mu You was taken aback for a moment, what happened, why did these allies suddenly want to fight him?

   Is it because he extracted the treasures from the treasury a lot before?

  The king is too stingy. At worst, return the treasure to him after the work is over, so there is no need to turn your face directly, right?

  【You question Evans, what happened? Why treat allies like this? 】

【"According to the information I got, you are now the bishop of Caesar's religion, and you have also become Caesar's spokesperson! Those who work with Caesar are naturally our enemies!" Evans looked at you indifferently . 】

   Mu You was surprised, not because the other party regarded him as an enemy, but...how did the other party know about this?

  It has only been less than an hour since he saw Caesar, and he rushed here non-stop after that...

   Could it be that the other party planted a traitor in Caesar's religion?

  【"Letter information from a bard just now!" Seeing the doubts on your face, Evans took the initiative to clarify. 】

   "Hiss..."

  Mu You was speechless, it was this troubadour again...

   This guy definitely has a big problem, and he is going crazy on both sides while he is not paying attention.

  【You hurriedly explained to Evans that you had met this troubadour. The various behaviors of this troubadour have ulterior motives, obviously trying to sow discord. 】

  【"Even if the other party is trying to sow discord, but you are going to find the magic lamp and release Caesar next, it is always the truth, right?" Evans looked at you calmly. 】

Mu You was speechless, this was what he had worried about before: the other party did not want Caesar to appear in any form, and he wanted the magic pen, but he had to release Caesar first, even if his ultimate goal was to kill Caesar , Grab the magic pen, but this obviously cannot persuade the other party to take the risk of not being able to solve Caesar with him.

  The original unanimous demands of the two sides conflicted, which led to them directly changing from allies to enemies.
