A loud whistle echoed across the Gobi desert.

In front of the cliff, three giant beasts were fighting savagely. They paused their movements at the same time and looked up curiously.

"roar!"

The manticore suddenly pushed back the shadow ghost and the bone dragon with one claw, flashed its teeth threateningly at the two giant beasts, and then ignored them, but jumped up and flew towards the cave with a somewhat anxious expression.

Bone Dragon and Shadow Ghost were furious at this moment. When they saw that their opponent was actually trying to escape, they couldn't let it go so easily, so they immediately stopped them.

But at this time, Muyou's game character appeared at the entrance of the cave and gestured to Bone Dragon and Shadow Ghost.

Shadow Ghost got directly into the shadow of the character, and Bone Dragon also chose to obey his order after hesitating for a moment, gave up the pursuit, shrunk in size, and followed him into the hole.

The three giant beasts disappeared at the entrance of the cave one after another, leaving the soldiers watching outside dumbfounded: What happened in the cave? Why did the war suddenly cease?

At this moment, the entrance to the cave was no longer fortified and was open to everyone for the first time. The soldiers looked at each other, hesitating whether to send anyone into the cave to investigate.

Fortunately, not long after the giant beast disappeared, Evans' message was sent out in time, with only four simple words: stay where you are!

…

"So the manticore is a pet kept by the djinn?"

Mu You looked at this prompt in the text in surprise [The bard caressed the orange cat in his arms].

Just after the troubadour appeared and explained his identity to the two of them, the three of them temporarily ceased fighting and even came forward to stop their pets and subordinates.

What surprised Mu You was that after the manticore was called back to the lair by the bard, it transformed into an ordinary orange Maine Coon cat and trotted in. It ignored him and Evans at all and jumped directly to the high platform.

Above, with his tail curled, he lay quietly next to the troubadour, yawned, half-closed his eyes and began to doze off.

At first glance, this relaxed state resembles that of a domestic cat that has been kept by people all year round. It is really difficult to associate it with the ferocious and violent manticore outside just now.

[The bone dragon curls up and squats behind you. Its head sweeps towards the orange cat on the high platform on the other side. Its two rows of teeth open wide, making a series of clashing sounds of bones and teeth. 】

[The orange cat felt the contempt in the Bone Dragon's eyes, and also opened its teeth and claws at it, and let out a threatening growl in response. ]

[The bard gently stroked the orange cat, slowly calming it down. The orange cat let out a snort and ignored the bone dragon's provocation...]

The two mythical beasts had just finished a fight, and they didn't like each other.

Mu You also briefly appeased the bone dragon in the game, and then clicked on the bard to try to interact.

[You ask the troubadour about the cause and effect of the whole thing.]

[The bard did not hide anything and told you and Evans about his past with Caesar a thousand years ago.]

["The origin of the incident begins with the extinction of the gods tens of thousands of years ago. I was also one of the gods who suffered annihilation at that time. I only relied on the special authority of the djinn to store my soul in an artifact and escaped.

I came to the star spirit world and survived..."]

[The troubadour took off the broken oil lamp from his waist, and he heard the faint sound of lamp oil shaking from inside, but judging from the sound, there seemed to be very little lamp oil left inside. 】

["This is my artifact, and it is also the 'miracle lamp' used to store my soul. I need to burn the lamp oil in it to maintain the physical embodiment of this mortal body. Once the lamp oil dries up, I can only sleep all year round."

Inside the lamp, I cannot be summoned out until someone replenishes the oil."]

[Ask about the genocide of the gods], [Ask about the authority of the Djinn God], [Ask about the lamp oil], [Ask about the relationship between the Pen of Order and the Djinn God].

An option pops up here!

Mu You clicked on the first one without thinking. He had long been extremely curious about the reasons for the extinction of the gods.

[You asked the troubadour why the protoss became extinct.]

[Unfortunately, the troubadour Gu Zuolai seems unwilling to mention this matter.]

"..."

Mu You had no choice but to choose the second option.

【You ask about the authority of the djinn.】

["The power of the djinn is a 'miracle'! In other words, it is the power to realize the wishes of others!" The troubadour proudly told you about his ability. 】

["Immortality? Eternal youth? Or wealth, fame, power... I can realize all of these. Of course, the prerequisite for realizing any wish is that you must first pay the corresponding price, that is, provide the magic lamp or the djinn with

Enough lamp oil serves as the energy to achieve miracles. At the same time, not all wishes can be realized, and I cannot fulfill wishes that exceed my own divine power." The bard said.]

"The ability to realize wishes..."

Mu You was slightly surprised. This authority reminded him of the dragon in "Dragon Ball". The wish to surpass the dragon's own abilities could not be realized, such as directly killing the final bosses.

Therefore, Shenron's wishes are ultimately used to resurrect the dead, obtain certain items, or enhance one's own combat effectiveness, etc.

However, the ability of the djinn here is obviously not as convenient as that of the dragon. To realize your wish, you have to invest in lamp oil first...

[You ask the troubadour, what is lamp oil?]

["There are two kinds of lamp oil. One is divinity. Every bit of divinity can be turned into a drop of lamp oil. The more powerful the wish, the more divinity is needed to realize it!"]

["The second is the curse that the wisher places on himself. If there is not enough lamp oil, he can also get the lamp oil by cursing himself. The greater the hope, the greater the hope he will have to endure."]

[The troubadour shook his head with some regret and said: "In order to survive the extinction of the gods, I had to make a wish to myself, so that my soul would last forever."]

["What's the result?" Evans asked.]

["As a result, the wish came true, but the price was that I gave up my body and lost my freedom. My soul needs to be stored in the magic lamp forever..."]

"I see……"

Mu You breathed out, roughly understanding what happened to the djinn.

Similar to the original Shadow God, he also relied on his own special means to escape the disaster. From this point of view, except for a very few gods with special abilities, all other gods should have fallen.

The only thing that puzzled Mu You was: what happened to the giant he met in the giant world that day?

Putting aside this question for the time being, Mu You chose the fourth option.

[You asked about the relationship between the Pen of Order and the Djinn.]

["The Pen of Order is the task entrusted to me by my master, the God of Order: to find an heir to the power of Order for him, transfer the Pen of Order to the other party, and fulfill at least three wishes for each generation of heirs.

, so that we can leave this heir."]

["The Pen of Order has the power to rewrite rules within a certain range. Using the Pen of Order, you can temporarily rewrite the wishing rules of the magic lamp and eliminate the cost of making wishes. In other words, every heir to the Power of Order can

Make three wishes to me for free!"]

This should be regarded as a protective measure for the heir by the God of Order, using three free wishes to help the heir survive the early stage and develop to a stage where he can be self-reliant.

["The first successor I selected is a fool, who is the previous Lord of the City of Dawn. This is an heir who is extremely satisfactory to me in terms of strength, character, character, leadership, etc., and I have always

I was proud of my vision at that time, and I have been with this heir since then, watching him unite other fools step by step, unearth the bones of gods, build a sky city, and fly to high heaven... until he was in the minor disaster.

After Ji Zhong died, he recovered the magic pen and waited for the next successor to appear."]

"oh?"

Mu You raised his eyebrows. Did the previous generation of Dawn City Lord actually die in the Minor Disaster?

["What happens next?" Evans asked.]

["Afterwards, according to the wish of the first heir, I should have waited for a new batch of Fools to appear before designating the new Lord of Dawn City as the next generation heir. Unfortunately, the Fool's silence lasted longer than I imagined, and I

During the Minor Catastrophe, my divine power was seriously damaged and I was on the verge of extinction. I was afraid that I would not be able to wait until the day when the Fool was born again. It was at this time that I met Caesar!"]

["At that time, Caesar was just the king of a small country in the desert. He saved me when I was on the verge of despair. He used the whole country to search for divine crystals to support me. He respected me extremely and worked hard without complaint...

"The bard mentioned Caesar with some emotion on his face: "I have to admit that Caesar was kind to me at that time, and the sincerity he showed at that time really moved me. Because of this, I violated the promise of the first heir.

My wish is to establish Caesar as the second generation heir in advance..."]

["Unfortunately, all this is just a disguise!" The troubadour sighed with some hatred, but also shook his head helplessly: "Caesar, who obtained the magic pen and took the initiative, finally exposed his true nature!"]

["What did Caesar wish for?" you asked.]

The game character automatically asked Mu You. This was indeed the question he wanted to ask the most. It should be these three wishes that led to the current situation of the Djinn and Caesar.

["Caesar's first wish was quite normal. He promised me to create an oasis in the desert so that his people would no longer suffer from drought and sandstorms."]

["I fulfilled his wish, turned the desert into an oasis, and created an oasis city for him in the center of the desert. This move made Caesar win the hearts of the people, and all the people were grateful to him..."]

["Hmph!" You suddenly heard Evans snort, with a look of disgust on his face.]

Mu You was not too surprised by this abrupt text.

Evans once served as a personal guard under Caesar, and no one knew Caesar's character better than him. Obviously, the actual situation was not as good as it seemed on the surface.

[“The land of oasis and Lord Ren’s reputation allowed Caesar to easily recruit an army of one million people! And Caesar’s second wish is for me to transform his army into an army that doesn’t need to eat or drink.

An army of the undead that is still immortal!"]

["This wish made me see clearly the evil nature of Caesar. I regret choosing him as my successor. Unfortunately, he has mastered the use of the magic pen, and I cannot refuse his wish under the restrictions of the rules."

..."]

Mu You watched with emotion. Needless to say what happened next, the genie of the genie was forced to realize this wish, and Caesar used this victorious army of undead to unify the desert and proclaimed himself the emperor of the desert...

["After the second wish, I completely broke with Caesar and urged him to complete the third wish as soon as possible so that I could be free. However, I still underestimated the greed of human nature..."]

["Three wishes are far from enough to satisfy Caesar's ambition. Therefore, the third wish he made to me is to seize my divine power and authority... He wants to become the God of Lamps himself, and then cooperate with the Pen of Order
To be continued...
