Chapter 430: Putting the finishing touch on the ‘dragon’
["The Adromar Empire has no intention of being an enemy of the Fool. Please withdraw from the desert and promise not to interfere in desert affairs from now on!" Evans, who is wearing armor, looks at you seriously and issues a formal warning to you. You
choose……】
[A hero does not suffer immediate losses and leaves the desert], [Escapes from the siege, your plan will not stop because of outsiders' interference].
Mu You naturally chose the latter.
He must find the magic pen, not to mention that there is an ice blue green trapped in Caesar's territory. It is absolutely impossible for him to withdraw from the desert now.
["Then, we can only forcibly send you to leave the country." Seeing you shaking your head in refusal, Evans looked coldly and waved the broad sword in his hand: "Take it!"]
[The soldiers around you suddenly formed a formation and rushed toward you...]
[You switched to the Vampire Marquis skin.]
[You have released the ‘Dark Realm’, and the environment around you has automatically entered midnight time. However, in the desert of eternal daylight, even at midnight, the sun is still high in the sky. 】
[Under the scorching sun, the ‘Scorching Sun’ curse takes effect, and the blood all over your body becomes extremely cold, as if countless fine needles are constantly piercing your body. 】
[The ‘daydreaming’ curse takes effect and you become extremely sleepy, unable to summon up your strength and energy. 】
Sure enough, the Dark Realm cannot work in the Everlasting Desert, because there is no concept of night here, and the sun is still high even at midnight.
Similar to the Scepter of the Moon, even if he summons a full moon night, the sun and full moon will appear in the sky at the same time.
The principle of these two methods is to temporarily adjust the local celestial phenomena to the corresponding time point. However, if that time point itself is not dark night, it will be useless even if it is changed.
Of course, Mu You's switch to vampire skin now is not to fight, but to use the skin's talents to get out of trouble.
[You activate ‘Super Speed’, and the actions of everyone around you become extremely slow in your eyes.]
[You shuttled through the gaps in the crowd, easily breaking through the crowd and arriving at the open space in the distance.]
[You placed a dark teleportation array on the ground...]
After setting up the teleportation array in a safe place, Mu You did not leave in a hurry, but released the divine speed on the spot.
[The flow of time resumes, and the attacks of a group of soldiers fail one after another, and they suddenly look around in confusion for your figure.]
[Until a soldier found you who was far away from the crowd and called out your location, everyone looked at you. 】
[Evans walked out of the crowd, but did not order his men to do useless work again. Instead, he looked at you calmly from a distance, as if he was not surprised by the result. 】
["Evans, I just want to ask you, is Caesar the genie of the djinn?" You asked Evans. 】
["No." Evans answered without any hesitation.]
[After receiving a clear reply, you stepped into the teleportation array. 】
[After a period of dizziness, you appear in the underground palace of the Caesar Cult...]
Caesar is not a djinn!
Evans shouldn't lie about this.
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief, it would be easier to handle once this point was made clear.
The bard said before that the Manticore's lair is hidden in the Gobi Plateau in the north of the Scarlet Desert.
Mu You immediately gathered his followers and began searching the desert for the location of the manticore's lair.
No matter how the situation develops next, it is definitely right to find a way to get the Miracle Lamp first and take the initiative.
After the previous believers returned, they had informed other members of the church about Caesar's appearance. The whole church was in a state of joy, even more festive than the Chinese New Year.
At the same time, Mu You's identity as Caesar's spokesperson has been accepted by everyone. At this moment, everyone had no objection to the orders he personally gave, and hurriedly followed them.
However, not long after the tasks were assigned, bad news came back one after another.
It turned out that after he left just now, Evans led an army to the northern part of the Scarlet Desert, directly surrounded the Gobi Plateau there, and expelled all the surrounding people, making it impossible for the believers to get close, let alone
He said he was looking for the manticore's lair.
Mu You was helpless about this, and could only say that having more people means being arrogant.
Mu You estimated that Evans was afraid that he would release Caesar, so he planned to find the magic lamp before him and destroy it directly, thus ensuring that Caesar would be sealed in that isolated space forever.
But in this way, the troubadour's behavior became a bit strange: If this person really wanted to incite him to defeat the manticore, get the magic lamp, and release Caesar, why did he go out of his way to inform Ai of this matter?
Dolmaar Empire and Evans?
This person should know Evans' position. After learning about this incident, he will definitely try his best to destroy the magic lamp. Wouldn't doing so create obstacles for Caesar's release?
Unless, the other party's purpose is to get them to fight, and then he will benefit from it?
Mu You frowned, unsure for the moment.
In short, the current situation is very magical: not to mention that the original allies have become enemies, and the Caesar's Cult, which they originally jointly wanted to deal with, has become his loyal subordinates.
However, it is of course impossible for the mere 1,000 people in the church to compete head-on with the opponent's 100,000-strong army. Now he has to find some other support.
Thinking of this, Mu You clicked on the 'Eye of the Divine Beast' from the game.
A round eyeball appeared in his hand.
As soon as the eyes appeared, the brown vertical pupils opened immediately and looked around.
After taking in the entire environment of the pet shop, his eyes finally turned back to Mu You.
As his pupils stared at him, Mu You suddenly felt like his whole body was falling into a quagmire, his limbs were stiff, and his whole body began to gradually solidify.
Mu You took a photo with his cell phone, and then hurriedly put the black cloth covering his eyes back, and his body returned to normal.
"How is it?" Mu You sent the photo to Lin Xue and asked her, an animal expert, to help analyze it.
"That's right, this kind of fine needle-like pupil structure should generally be the eyeball of a snake or lizard..." Lin Xue replied.
"Snake or lizard..."
Mu You pondered for a moment, these two creatures were quite common in the desert.
And this thing will appear in the hands of those three weak bishops, and it is likely to be dedicated to them by a certain believer.
Thinking of this, Mu You called all the believers back in the game.
[You summoned all the members of the Caesar Cult, then took out the Eye of the Divine Beast, showed it to everyone, and asked about the origin of this thing. 】
["Well, this thing...was donated by me..." The bald bandit standing next to you looked at you with some anxiety: "Mr. Bishop, is there something wrong?"]
It turned out to be him!
Mu You immediately understood. No wonder this person stood out in terms of his rank within the cult. Obviously, the three bishops at the time could also see that this thing was of extraordinary value and made a high contribution to it.
["No problem, this thing is of great significance to the subsequent rescue of Emperor Caesar. I need to know where you got it." You looked at the bald bandit and asked.]
[The bald bandit was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly said: "This eyeball was stolen from the lair of a group of bandits I joined some time ago."]
["Of course, that group of bandits was just a temporary place for me to stay after entering the Scarlet Desert. The total number of people was only a little over a hundred. I only hung out with them for a month. After I heard about the Caesar Cult, I immediately went there.
I'm here to join you!" The bald bandit hurriedly defended.]
Mu You didn't bother to care about his relationship with the previous bandit. After confirming the source, he immediately let Bald Head lead the way, and then led his followers to rush to the enemy's lair to investigate.
[...The sand land boat docked in front of a desert canyon. The mouth of the canyon in front was blocked by layers of man-made thorns, making it impassable.]
["Sir Bishop, this is the home base of the Black Snake Bandits!" The bald bandit looked at you and asked: "Do you need your subordinates to go in and negotiate with them?"]
Mu You thought that there were only about a hundred sand bandits, and it was a waste of time to negotiate. He couldn't defeat an army of 100,000 people, so how could he bully a group of sand bandits?
[You shake your head and directly order all the troops to attack and eliminate this group of bandits. This is the first official step taken by the Caesar Religion to save Emperor Caesar! 】
["For Caesar!" Under your instigation, a group of believers shouted church slogans and rushed into the canyon with weapons in hand. 】
[The sound of gold and iron and screams soon came from the canyon.]
[…After a while, the noise in the canyon gradually calmed down, and a believer came to report: You have successfully captured the other party’s lair!]
[You follow the believers into the canyon and finally come to a large cave. 】
[At this time, all the remaining bandits have been tied up by the believers and are kneeling on the ground, waiting for your fate. ]
[You take out the Eye of the Divine Beast again and ask the bandits about its origin.]
["My treasure!" The moment you took out the Eye of the Divine Beast, a kneeling bandit suddenly stared at you with red eyes and shouted. 】
["Be honest, this is our Lord Bishop!" The bald man kicked the bandit to the ground. Judging from the strength of the kick, it was somewhat personal. 】
[According to Baldhead’s introduction, this bandit is the leader of this group of bandits, ‘Black Snake’, and the Eye of the Divine Beast was stolen from him. 】
[Black Snake looks at you evil bandits with hatred, but because its lives are in your hands, it does not dare to resist, so it can only answer your questions obediently. 】
Finally finding the rightful owner, Mu You didn't bother to use any gentle means and directly gave him the truth-telling potion and forced him to interrogate him.
It's a pity that the sand bandit couldn't tell the reason in the end. According to him, this thing was just something he accidentally dug out of the sand when he was panning for gold in this canyon a long time ago. At that time, except for this eyeball, there was nothing else around.
and nothing else.
Later, he relied on the magical ability of this eyeball to win over a group of younger brothers, and then he became the leader of the bandits. It was precisely because this eyeball resembled a snake's eye that he named himself 'Black Snake', and that's how he started.
To be continued...
