Chapter 490: Chapter 291: Undercurrents Surge_2

Mu You had not yet obtained any pages belonging to the summoning category, so he promptly bought one of each.

Of course, the only summoning magic he could level up at this point was the ’Spike Serpent Guard’, which went from LV1 to LV5, increasing the limit of summoned spike serpents from one to five.

Then there was this week’s magic course.

Out of the seven types of magic taught in the first year, Mu You could learn as many as six!

Little Spider Swarm: A low-rank summoning magic, which summons a swarm of small spiders to assist in your reconnaissance or battle.

Ridiculous Curse: A low-rank curse magic, that changes the appearance of a creature or an object into something you find funny. (Only changes appearance, does not affect the original abilities and characteristics of the entity.)

Forgetfulness Curse: A low-rank curse magic, which can be cast on a creature to make it forget the events of a certain period of time.

Flying Spell: A low-rank wind magic, summoning an object to fly towards you from a distance. The summoning distance limit is 100 km for your items. For items that do not belong to you, the curse can only be cast if they are within your line of sight.

Iron Armor Curse: A low-rank strengthening magic, which swiftly enhances one’s physical defense.

Light Body Skill: A low-rank wind magic that makes a creature as light as a feather.

These six spells are all basic spells, each with its own unique uses.

The most seemingly useless spell among them is the ’Ridiculous Curse’. It only changes outward appearances, not the essential nature, meaning it doesn’t reduce the combat power of enemies.

However, this spell has its unique uses. It can be used against creatures that rely on an intimidating appearance to scare others or aim to inflict psychological damage, such as ghosts, certain mind-reading monsters, and shape-shifting creatures.

No matter how abstract a creature, under one spell, they all turn into funny yellow faces, greatly diminishing their intimidation factor.

As for the other spells, they do not need much explanation. They are all commonly used spells, which one would eventually need to learn. The sooner you learn them, the sooner you can benefit from them.

Other than these two matters in the game, the other storm came from the Fool’s Forum.

With the approaching advent of the City of Dawn, the forum has been brimming with excitement in these two days.

More and more people are posting that they have rushed to the Evil Spirit Sea Area, ready to witness this historic moment.

A lot of people firmly believe that the Ghost Captain intentionally set the meeting place in the Evil Spirit Sea Area for a reason: there is a great chance that the Dawn City is located in the Evil Spirit Sea Area!

Therefore, once these people rushed to the Evil Spirit Sea Area, they started searching for the traces of the Son of Heaven’s forces and the Ghost Ship.

Unfortunately, before they found either of these two forces, they encountered attacks from various pirates!

The emergence of Dawn City is not just a grand event in the Fool’s World, but also a carnival for the pirates.

The local pirate forces in the Evil Spirit Sea Area have noticed the changes in the territory. Increasingly, strangers are intruding into the chaotic area, and some small groups dared to venture into the Evil Spirit Sea Area with their shabby ships, showing utter disrespect to the local pirates.

The pirates, of course, reacted ruthlessly. They opened their hunting mode, reaping batch after batch of ’fat sheep’ who presented themselves.

Consequently, the forum was filled with posts about grievances and curses against the pirates. Players shared their personal experiences of being robbed. Among them, the most pitiful one was robbed by pirates eight times in one day, leaving him nothing but his underpants, forcing him to log off to save himself.

Such tragedies not only made the crowd laugh, but also made the players realize that the infamous Evil Spirit Sea Area is not a place anyone can enter casually.

Of course, there were also many strong and well-prepared player teams that managed to gain a foothold in the Evil Spirit Sea Area with their prowess and luck.

These forces are the ones truly eligible to strive for the Dawn City. They do not lack strength or manpower, only a fragment of the Dawn City.

So, after gaining a solid footing, these forces immediately began to search the entire map for the Son of Heaven and the Ghost Captain.

While the Ghost Captain was nowhere to be found, the Son of Heaven was easy to locate.

Because the Son of Heaven’s forces were too numerous to hide effectively, they directly rented Nick Island, which is next to Turtle Island.

More than a thousand people and sixteen large and small ships were docked around Nick Island, exhibiting their wealthy and powerful status. Any ship that attempted to approach would be bombarded indiscriminately by them.

After sinking more than a dozen ships, they managed to deter the ambitions of other player forces in the area.

In such an atmosphere of calculating and scheming, two days passed by swiftly.

On the 26th, Tuesday afternoon in the Evil Spirit Sea Area.

In front of the Teleportation Array recently established on Nick Island, figures were continuously emerging.

One hour later, more than five hundred and sixty figures had gathered.

These five hundred and sixty-plus people were the core members of the Son of Heaven’s forces, all of whom had arrived in the Star Spirit World through the ’door’.

In addition to these members, there were over seven hundred members of the Son of Heaven’s forces, controlling their game characters in real life and scattered in the surrounding areas, acting as backup and ready to support the main forces at any time.

These combined forces, totaling more than one thousand three hundred, were all the forces prepared by the Son of Heaven’s forces for the seizure of the city.

"Gentlemen, the upcoming day is of utmost importance to us in the Son of Heaven’s forces. The efforts and preparations of one month will all be gambled on today’s battle..."
