142: Chapter 136: Nurous Sins Don’t Weigh One Down_1 142: Chapter 136: Nurous Sins Don’t Weigh One Down_1 “So being invisible really doesn’t work, huh…”

Mu You sighed, the current problem for players was the failure of hiding their presence.

And this presence is like a sll, as long as soone got close enough, they could sniff the strong scent of an exile.

Under such circumstances, an Invisibility Cloak was useless.

Since he has been discovered, Mu You simply stopped hiding and started to run.

[You sprint towards the eastern end of the village, utilizing your high agility, you gradually shake off the two knights, and enter a small cabin before they can catch up.]

[You are safe.]

Luckily, the cabin is still a safe zone, it seems these knights cannot enter such magically bound dwellings.

[You use the Teleportation Array in the cabin and teleport to the Thatched Cottage in Foggy Mountain.]

[You see the front gate is wide open, the light is on in the inner room of the cottage, through the window you can see the Old Farr is still awake, anxiously standing by the window, constantly looking outside, as if waiting for your return.]

The situation he feared, where he would be turned away at the door, did not happen, Mu You sighed in relief, it seems the granny might have accepted his identity?

However, upon his attempt to select the ‘Enter’ option, a new text prompt ca up.

[You want to enter, but suddenly rember your identity as the Fool.

If you continue to stay at the Old Farr’s house, and others detect the Fool’s aura from this place, the Old Farr might be seen as an accomplice of the Fool, which could bring her so unknown troubles.

Are you sure you want to enter?]

Stepping in would brand her as an accomplice?

Mu You frowned, this accusation was a bit over the top.

He had been eating free als and receiving a lot of benefits at the old lady’s house recently, it is impossible to say that he wasn’t grateful.

Now that entering would bring trouble to the old lady, he had no choice but to leave.

The old lady had always been nice to him, he couldn’t do sothing to harm her.

Thinking it over, Mu You opened the nu and removed the letter from the frog.

The so-called letter was a postcard enclosed in a Magic Envelope, the front was etched with so Star Spirit Language in roughly written words, he didn’t know how a frog managed to write it.

Mu You pulled out a feather pen, crossed out the frog’s self-proclaid title, made so minor modifications, then wrote a farewell letter on the back.

The general aning was that he had a friend in trouble and he needed to leave for a while, he would be back in a month so the old lady shouldn’t worry.

The feather pen ca in handy now, as Mu You thought in his heart and automatically recorded it in Star Spirit Language on the paper.

After sealing the letter, he stored it in the ga.

[You quietly slip the letter under the door then unobtrusively leave the thatched cottage.]

[You ride a donkey to the outskirts of Foggy Mountain, in front of you are three different paths.]

[Heading south, you will reach the Fallen Swamp, a very dangerous marshland.

Without enough strength, it is better not to approach it rashly.

Estimated travel ti is 74 hours.]

[Heading north, you will return to the peaceful village.

Estimated travel ti is 20 hours.]

[Heading west, you will reach Sunset City, the first port city on the east side of the empire, with a population close to 100,000, well-developed transport, and a thriving economy, it’s a good place to do business.

Estimated travel ti is 41 hours.]

Three paths, there’s no choice, he must go to Sunset City.

[You ride the donkey west, starting on the main road to Sunset City, currently traveling, estimated travel ti is 41 hours…]

The journey is only 41 hours, but the roads are not as smooth as before.

Besides the monsters along the road, one might also encounter blockades by Imperial Knights at any ti.

As expected, ten minutes after Mu You set off, he ran into a roadblock.

[As you’re traveling at high speed, you soon hear a fight coming from the crossroads ahead.

On closer inspection, it turns out to be a guard knight battling an adult gray wolf.

At this ti, there are seven or eight wolf corpses piled up on the side of the road, it’s obvious that the knight is clearing out a wolf cave.]

[Level 15 Guard Knight: Strength 22, Agility 22, Intelligence 22, Constitution 64, HP 6400, Magic Points 2200.]

[In the midst of the battle, the knight notices your approach, abruptly leaves the gray wolf and rushes towards you with his sword.]

Here it cos again!

Mu You’s eyelids twitch.

But this knight is only level 15; the level suppression is only one level, much easier to manage than the previous two level 19 knights.

With his Vampire skin and Battle Eagle, he might stand a chance at winning.’]

[You decide to counterattack, summoning four of the wolf corpses by the roadside into zombie wolves.

Together with the Battle Eagle, you start to jointly attack the Guard Knight.]

Battles in the ga are very different from those in reality.

Since there’s no visual graphics, Mu You can only give the ga so simple commands and the Ga Character actions are mostly instinctive.

It’s like a computer AI-controlled character, no matter how advanced the AI is, it can’t be as flexible as the human brain, so many combinations of spells that can be easily perford in reality, cannot be executed by the Ga Character.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the power of ga characters are definitely weaker than in reality, how much weaker depends on the combat thod, the simpler and more straightforward the spell or combat thod, the closer the ga character will be to their actual strength.

In this regard, summoners are a rather prominent exception.

Summoners who fight with pets rely on the strategy of strength in numbers.

There’s no need for tactics; they deploy creatures to take the brunt of the attack while they hide and puml away at the enemy.

It’s an underhanded tactic, but incredibly practical.

[With the collaboration of four Zombie Beasts and a Battle Eagle, you’ve managed to kill an Imperial Knight.

Life span 1, experience points 15, and you obtained one fragnt of the Imperial Knight’s skin, Evil Camp reputation 15.]

As expected, he managed to kill the knight, dropping skin fragnts and gaining reputation with the Evil Camp.

The only regrettable part was that he couldn’t use the Saint Bandit Gloves yet, or he might even have managed to steal so equipnt…

After disposing of the blocker, Mu You didn’t rush to leave right away; instead, he started searching the vicinity.

It was not easy to encounter a knight he could beat, so he obviously had to take advantage of this and farm him a few more tis.

If he could farm a complete skin, that would be even better.

[You’ve searched the area, but sadly, there’s no sign of the knight’s resurrection.]

[These guard knights have a special Transmission Mark tied to them.

After resurrection, they can teleport directly back to the nearest camp and bring back information about their killer.]

[You’ve been defined as a Fool by the Guard Knight!]

[You’ve been defined as a Vampire by the Guard Knight!]

[You’ve been defined as a Necromancer by the Guard Knight!]

[You’ve been defined as a Dark Wizard by the Guard Knight!]

[The Empire has marked you as a high-priority criminal!]

“What are you doing, stacking buffs?”

Mu You sneered, this knight was pretty smart.

He ran away if he couldn’t win.

With the teleport ability, Mu You really could do nothing and could only watch the opponent escape and report him, instantly labeling him with a host of cris.

But Mu You didn’t care, he was already wanted, and there was no point hiding anything anymore.

He openly displayed his Vampire skin, brought his Zombie Beasts, used his dark magic freely…

doing whatever he pleased.

After dealing with the blocker, Mu You continued his journey, riding a donkey.

But just as he was about to leave, a new ssage popped up.

[You have reached the edge of the Foggy Mountain.]

[As you are about to leave the scope of the Foggy Mountain, you suddenly find a ‘Gemini Flower’ sprouting from the ground.

This is a peculiar plant, its root system connecting two flowers, which can grow as far as one thousand kiloters apart.

Whatever is put into one flower can be taken out of the other.]

[You have seen similar plants in the Old Farr’s house.

Clearly, the Old Farr has noticed your departure and has sent you a farewell gift using the Gemini Flower.]

Mu You stared in surprise, the old lady had actually sent him so items from afar?

He quickly clicked on the text related to the ‘Gemini Flower’.

[You stepped forward and opened the bud of the Gemini Flower to find so items stored inside.]

[You received ‘Packaged Five-Colored Rice Porridge’*2, a ‘Horn of Abundance’, a packet of ‘Bindweeds Seeds’, and a ‘Letter from the Old Farr’.]

[You opened the letter to find instructions for using the Horn of Abundance.

In the event of danger, scatter the seeds and blow the horn to make the Bindweeds grow rapidly, ensnaring enemies so you can escape.

The Old Farr urged you to return early and give back the Horn of Abundance; she relies on this item for her livelihood.]

“…”

Mu You fell silent after reading.

If he couldn’t figure out what was going on now, he’d have wasted his entire life.

It was clear that the old lady realized her dicinal Plant Gatherer grandson was dead.

But perhaps as a form of comfort, she still treated Mu You, who was pretending to be the dicinal Gatherer from the beginning, as her real grandson.

Now seeing him leave, she even sent him the ‘Horn of Abundance’, which she needed for survival…

The aning was clear: she wanted him to return alive in a month.

But if he couldn’t return, the old lady probably wouldn’t have any reason to remain in this world on her own…

“Sigh…”

Mu You sighed, a bit taken aback to find his nose tingling from a text ga in the middle of the night.

Shaking off his thoughts, Mu You silently put away his items and continued on his way.

Now, his only choice was to get to the Imperial Capital as fast as possible to resolve this mission and restore everything to normal.

Accomplishing this task wasn’t too difficult.

While Mu You’s abilities weren’t on par with those level ten or twenty godlike players, he still had a Shadow Ghost.

If he had no other choice, he would go to the Imperial Capital, release the Shadow Ghost, and with its destructive power, he believed it could wreck the Arcane Tower.

Of course, this was the last resort because once the Shadow Ghost was released, there was a high chance it would be subdued by soone from the Wizard Association or so godlike players, and he won’t be able to retrieve it.

Not only would Mu You lose a lifeline, he’d also gain nothing–a total loss.
