Chapter 437: Chapter 273: Unexpected Visitors of Foggy Mountain_2

The issues they had just been discussing had nothing to do with Taurus, which was the Lord of the Abyss and not a fool. She didn’t have an ID or any such thing and didn’t rely on black magic in combat or need a Mana Floating Dragon. She had not spoken a word since she had arrived at the palace, but she suddenly looked serious and wanted to speak. Everyone prepared themselves for what she had to say.

Taurus hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"First, where is Chiba County? Or, where I can find Sadako from a rural village?"

"Second, Sadako’s father isn’t Ixion, then who is her father?"

"Third, why did Dragon Temple’s ex-wife die? And is it true Yang Yi’s grandfather cursed his own daughter?"

"..."

Once Taurus finished, the room fell silent.

Everyone was stunned into silence, their faces a mixture of embarrassment and incredulity: These were the questions she had been pondering over for a week?

"Ahem... Sis, didn’t I tell you? ’The Ring’ is a movie, a fictional story. There isn’t really a person named Sadako in reality. As for Sadako’s father..." Lion rambled on, answering her one by one on behalf of everyone present.

However, Taurus was no ordinary person. In response to Lion’s answer, she immediately posed a series of new questions.

The movies Mu You prepared for Taurus included the entire series of "The Ring." From the detailed nature of her questions, Mu You knew she had watched all the films and not just once. The average person wouldn’t notice so many details.

Taurus’s questions were so extensive they stumped Lion. Thankfully, the eight people from Earth collaborated and managed to deal with Taurus’ questions one by one.

"But if that’s the case..."

Just as Taurus appeared to continue her line of questioning, Mu You hurriedly interrupted, "That’s enough, our meeting time is limited. We can discuss your remaining questions next week. Now, let’s trade cards!"

Upon hearing him, Taurus seemed to realize that she had taken up too much time and nodded without asking further questions.

Everyone then resumed the normal trading process.

Mu You, as usual, exhibited the cards he had received the previous week.

This week, as they had two fewer people, there were less cards to trade, thus speeding up the process.

After the trading, Mu You ended up with two new cards.

[Wind Blade: A low-ranking wind elemental black magic, swings the Magic Wand, and strikes with an invisible wind blade that has immense cutting power.]

[Executioner: A mid-ranking reinforcement black magic, transforms into the Executioner, doubles your strength, increases damage taken by 50%, grants you the Domineering Body Effect, immune to knockback, floating, slowdown, and all Imprisonment Control Class Effects, lasts 10 seconds, cooldown time of 10 hours.]

Among these, ’Executioner’ was a spell derived from Taurus’s Crystal. The Lord of the Abyss turned it into a duplicate this week. Mu You had seen its power in his previous battle with a predecessor of Taurus, it doubled the user’s strength and gave them a dominating status.

The main advantage was its Domineering Body Effect, which allowed you to ignore all control conditions. It could offer massive benefits in specific scenarios like escaping or pursuing enemies.

Wind Blade, on the other hand, was a secret technique from Aquarius. Despite its simple description and seeming lack of highlights, the spell was extremely useful.

The defining feature of Wind Blade in black magic is its silence and near instantaneous casting, which often caught opponents off guard in actual combat.

Before, when he was participating in the Battle for the Tower in the Imperial Capital, Mu You used this move to easily kill one of the Black-robed People accompanying the White Clothed One.

Apart from these two magic cards, Mu You regretfully did not receive any of the life element or thunder system Spell Scrolls this week. However, Lin Xue received a soul system scroll.

[Soul Fire: Renders a unit with Soul Fire after the spell is cast, temporarily gaining the user’s field of vision, duration of one hour, cooldown time of 10 hours.]

This low-ranking soul spell was like a surveillance technique, temporarily granting the caster another person’s field of view. However, the target would detect that they had been given the Soul Fire and could dispel it. Therefore, this technique could only be used effectively when the target consented to being watched, making its application rather narrow.

That being said, having a functional magic was always better than having none at all. After Lin Xue received this, she casually passed it to Mu You, who secretly learned it with his pocket watch.

Once all the cards were traded, the group managed to settle the remaining item trades from last week. The primary item was the Abyss Worm Scales Taurus had promised, with everyone receiving two each. In return, they received several electronic devices filled with various films.

The other trades involved Magic Potions.

After receiving the Abyss Worm Scale, Aquarius immediately gave Mu You the complete materials for two Evolution Elixirs. Mu You, in turn, gave him an Ordinary Potion straight away.

There was usually a queue for outsiders requesting potion creation, but those in the meeting could jump ahead.

Mu You then gave the previously prepared Reset Point Potion to Virgo.

The potion was only of Black Iron Rank and had mediocre effects. It couldn’t completely reset the points and would leave some free points unaffected. However, if it was only for adjusting attributes, a Black Iron Rank potion was more than enough.

After finalizing all the trades, everyone chatted casually before the meeting time ended.

With a shift in the scene, Mu You and his counterpart returned to their room.
