Chapter 297: Chapter 227: Deceiving the Heavens and Crossing the Seas_2

Others only had the perspective of the game, and perhaps couldn’t see clearly. But Mu You was standing at the bow, seeing with crystal clarity that, just like the description on the map, a powerful geyser from deep beneath the earth was at the base of this waterfall passage. The underground rivers converging from all directions in the center were impacted by this geyser, creating an upward current. Through a passageway of dozens of meters, it carried the underground river water and dumped it into a surface reservoir.

"Hold on tight!"

Mu You turned around and yelled a heads-up, promptly steering the ship towards the geyser.

The closer it was to the passageway, the more the Ghost Ship was pulled by the current, and it sped up, penetrating directly into the geyser.

Mu You felt the ship get enveloped in an upward draft, carrying the boat aloft and rapidly ascending.

After experiencing the drastic change from a super heavy to zero gravity, they covered the short distance in a leap, and the Ghost Ship burst out of the mouth of the passageway, plunging into a broad lake.

They were officially in the Imperial Capital now.

Half of the players on the ship knew what was to be done and immediately jumped off, spreading in all directions. As for the remaining ones, Mu You didn’t care whether they were slow to react or had other intentions, he ejected them all in one breath from the ship.

After all the players, other than him, were cleared from the ship, Mu You continued to sail the ship swiftly, away from the crowd. When he reached a quiet area at the bottom of the lake, he took out a storage bottle and put the Ghost Ship into it.

Mu You originally planned to leave a Dark Teleportation Array at the bottom of the lake, but Vivian stopped him. According to her, the Wizard Tower was extremely sensitive to teleportation arrays. Even if he put one down, it would quickly be dismantled and expose his identity. He had to give up on this idea.

Then, Mu You took on the disguise of a diviner and drove a Goblin Submarine, continuing his journey along the underground river, leaving the vicinity of the reservoir.

After following the river underground for a while, Mu You emerged on the shore of a river at another end of the city. He packed up his submarine, quickly cast a Fire Circle Spell to dry himself off, and put on the Thousand Faces Mask for deep invisibility.

After these preparations, he left the riverbank and emerged on the street.

Looking left and right, he found himself on a bustling night market street.

This was a twisted cobblestone street that extended until it was out of sight.

The sky was moonless that night, but the street was brilliantly lit. The light beaming from various magic lamps and gems illuminated the entire commercial street, making it no less bright than modern cities with light pollution.

Shops of all shapes and sizes filled both sides of the street, and a multitude of customers dressed as wizards gathered in small groups in front of the stores to shop.

The nearest store to him was a Magic Potion Material Store. A fat woman stood at the entrance, violently waving her arms and shouting, "Special offer today, fire lizard’s liver, come and get it while it lasts...".

Mu You glanced through the window of the store, the interior was rather messy with barrels full of powdered medicinal herbs spread on the floor. Bundles of feathers and fangs, claws, and organs of various magical beasts were arrayed on both sides of the shelves. Most of the materials still had blood and bits of flesh on them, emitting a stingy smell around the pharmacy store, forcing occasional passersby to cover their noses and run past.

But Mu You was a qualified Magic Potion Master and could tell at a glance that although the hygiene of this store was in dire straits, the products inside were genuine and of high quality.

It made sense, as in the busiest commercial street, in the heart of the Wizard City, having a storefront meant the owner was no ordinary person.

Looking ahead, there were Crucible Stores, Wizard Costume Stores, Magic Wand Stores, Familiar Stores, and various other specialized stores lining the street.

If he had time, Mu You would have loved to explore this city, representing the most prosperous part of the magic civilization in this world, but unfortunately, he didn’t have that luxury.

Around the corner of the street ahead, Mu You saw a group of fully armed knights patrolling through the crowd, rushing his direction.

Mu You quickly ducked into an alley. His current disguise as a Diviner in a Wizard Robe Pointed Hat attire was commonplace in this environment.

More importantly, with the protection of the Thousand Faces Mask, the soldiers ran past him without even a glance and left the street, heading towards another street.

Looking at the direction where the guards were heading, it seemed they were going towards the reservoir, where they had shown themselves earlier. It seemed that the sudden appearance of hundreds of Fools had indeed alerted the Wizard’s Tower.

Mu You didn’t waste any time and took advantage of the invisibility effect of the Thousand Faces Mask, left the street and headed straight towards the northern city.

As for the route, that was too easy to find. Cities in the other world were not like Earth with high-rises reaching several dozens of stories, as here, most of the buildings were one or two-story houses. An occasional four or five-story building was already considered a skyscraper here.

Under these circumstances, the two magic towers in the capital city, with heights of over 100 meters, became exceedingly noticeable.

The Wizard’s Tower and Arcane Tower, one at the southern end, housing the Wizard’s Association, and the other at the northern end of the city, for the military camp. Anyone could see the towers facing each other from afar, one south and the other north. It was hard not to notice them.

The Northern City Military Camp was not that close to the commercial street, at least sixty miles away. Fortunately, Mu You didn’t have to walk the entire distance. After leaving the bustling night market and entering a deserted street, he released the Chocobo.
