Chapter 810: Chapter 404 Pen of Order_2

Mu You hurriedly walked over to check, and at this moment, at the top of the bookshelf where the chains were connected, a page of phantom-like paper automatically appeared. The paper looked yellowed and torn, clearly ancient.

Mu You read the contents of the paper, which was an excerpt from a book titled "Desert Chronicles."

"...In the year 2811 of the Star Spirit calendar, the renowned Desert Emperor, Radath Caesar, bought a magical pen from a traveling merchant. It was said to be a divine artifact with the power to rewrite the order of all things. The merchant also warned that the pen was cursed and that anyone who used it would inevitably suffer unbearable torment and die... Unfortunately, Caesar did not heed the advice. He used the Divine Pen to transform the desert into an oasis and created the strongest army in the world to conquer lands for him, ultimately unifying the desert and establishing the Caesar Kingdom; he was unmatched in his time... tragically, in the second year after Caesar proclaimed himself emperor, he and his entire kingdom vanished into the desert overnight, never to be heard from again, and the Divine Pen disappeared with him..."

"In the desert?"

Mu You was startled.

The ’pen’ mentioned in this page was most likely the Pen of Order.

This Desert Emperor clearly suffered a backlash due to the misuse of the divine artifact, which resulted in the devastating end of an entire nation along with him, and the Divine Pen also vanished.

However, now, over a thousand years later, where this Divine Pen has gone, and whether someone else picked it up, remains unmentioned; all clues end here.

Fortunately, he at least now had a direction for his investigation.

"Radath Caesar," Mu You remembered the name and then canceled the magic power, and as the phantom page scattered, he hurriedly waved his staff and cast a spell again.

It was now 0:50. Unbeknownst to him, nearly two hours had passed, and the group of Silent Beasts on the roof would soon be returning from moon-gazing; he had to hurry.

Golden runes appeared again; this time, Mu You searched for: God’s Corpse.

Countless characters around him began to spin endlessly, but this time it felt unusually long.

The golden runes drifted for nearly ten minutes before finally stopping.

To Mu You’s astonishment, the scene had formed over twenty golden chains, each leading in different directions.

"Damn, this many?"

Mu You was surprised; he had assumed the God’s Corpse in the Star Spirit World would be rare, but the search turned up so much content?

Embarrassingly, time was almost up, and Mu You felt as though he could already hear the Silent Beasts on the roof starting to breathe as they moved.

Without further thought, Mu You activated Godspeed, moving at lightning speed to check each piece of content found.

The result was disappointing; out of twenty-two pieces of content, twelve mentioned that God’s Corpse was hidden in Sky City.

Of the remaining ten, three respectively pointed out that godly beings were hidden among the Dark Elves, Dwarves, and Sunlight Elf Clan; however, these were areas he couldn’t involve himself in.

The remaining six described universally that godly corpses were buried in the ’Outer Domain.’ After every Great Cataclysm in the Star Spirit World, its range decreased, and the ’trimmed’ parts became the Outer Domain. Although Mu You knew there were divine corpses in the Outer Domain, entry required a specific portal, much like the Tomb of the Death God previously. Yet, these contents mentioned only the Outer Domain without any details on the portals, proving useless.

It was the last piece that finally gave him some clues.

"...Do not approach the Tower of Heroes near White Maple City, for a Demon God guards it, and approaching will bring misfortune..."

This final piece was a nursery rhyme from a distant era, two to three thousand years ago, a popular children’s song in White Maple City, but it was later forbidden to be sung due to its references to divine beings.

"White Maple City?"

Mu You was taken aback by the name; it sounded familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere...

Unfortunately, Mu You couldn’t remember where he had seen it, and at that moment, the roaring of the Silent Beasts came from above, clearly, his presence had been discovered.

Mu You had to cancel the spell and sank into the Shadow Space on the spot.

The next moment, a large number of Silent Beasts wielding giant axes and having bodies like wisps of smoke stormed into the library, angrily searching back and forth without finding where Mu You was.

"Looks like these creatures can’t enter the Shadow Space..."

Mu You breathed a sigh of relief, observing the drifting things above through the transparent ground.

These a Silent Beasts, much like the Time Guards he had encountered in the Tomb of the Death God, bore a striking resemblance.

According to Mrs. McKenna, these creatures acted like’ administrators’ of this world, tasked with maintaining the various basic rules and order of the Star Spirit World. Whenever there was a bug or someone did not adhere to the rules, trying to act outside the established order, these creatures would appear, either to fix the problem or to deal with the ones who had discovered the problem...

Mu You lingered in the Shadow Space for a while, still hoping that the creatures above would get bored and leave the library.

It turned out he was overthinking things. Except for the two hours of moon-gazing, these things diligently guarded their posts without moving an inch.

After waiting for an hour in vain, Mu You had no choice but to leave on his own.

Following the Shadow Space, he arrived at the first floor of the library.

After sneaking out of the library, Mu You went to a shadowy corner next to the wall and took away the Invisibility Cloak from Madame McKenna, then immediately gave her a Sobriety Potion.

The potion Mu You had administered to her was just the lowest-grade Sleeping Potion, and one bottle of Sobriety Potion was enough to counteract its effects.

Taking advantage of the time before the potion took effect, Mu You once again submerged into the shadows and left.

Seconds later, Madame McKenna lay on the cold green stone, groggily opening her eyes and stretching with a yawn.

As she recognized her surroundings, Madame McKenna was stunned for several seconds before realizing what had happened. She hurriedly clutched at her chest, bending down to check her clothing.

The next second, a high-pitched scream echoed throughout the campus.

Minutes later, the alarm of Red Rose Academy rang long...

...

While Red Rose Academy was in turmoil over the nocturnal attack on a female teacher, Mu You had already returned to Dark City.

"Watch out, Iai Slash!"

Just as he appeared in front of the Teleportation Array, Mu You heard a childish shout from behind.

Turning around, he raised his right hand and effortlessly caught the blade of a wooden sword that was chopping toward him between his fingers.

The figure behind him was Mu Mianmeng. The little girl was holding the wooden sword with both hands, trying her hardest to pull it free, her face flushed and neck bulging with the effort, but the sword did not budge.

Mu You glanced down and noticed a familiar white beast face mask on the girl’s face.

It was even a rare piece of equipment.

[Cat Eye Mask: When worn, greatly enhances the body’s flexibility and agility, grants the grace and agility of a felid, and allows sight in darkness.]

"Where did you get this?" Mu You asked curiously.

"The cat sister gave it to me!"

After the little girl spoke, Mu You released his fingers, and she finally managed to pull out the wooden sword, falling backwards. However, just as she was about to fall, she supported herself with one hand, performed a graceful backflip, and landed perfectly.

Such a move, given her unenhanced physique, was clearly made possible by the effects of the mask.

Upon landing, the little girl was quite smug, pulling her eyelid down and making a face at Mu You before running off with the wooden sword.

Mu You didn’t bother with her but turned to look behind him, where a cat lady was quickly approaching.

Only the Lion and Virgo would appear in such a guise, and this was definitely Virgo, because the Lion could never walk with such an elegant cat gait.

As Virgo approached, she lifted a writing board she was carrying: "The little girl is adorable, so I gave it to her."

"Such a valuable item, is that really okay..." Mu You was somewhat astonished. Being a rare artifact, it was worth at least a thousand years of lifespan. Giving away a thousand-year-old item as a toy?

Mu You instantly wondered if Virgo’s family was some wealthy clan...

In response, Virgo scribbled something on the paper and lifted the board again: "Because I have a favor to ask."

"Oh? What is it?" Mu You asked.

This time, Virgo took a bit longer to write and draw. Moments later, she lifted the board.

On it was a long text accompanied by several simple drawings, vividly depicting the living conditions of the cat-people.

Mu You glanced at it. Basically, it meant: Being nocturnal creatures themselves, the cat-people were envious of the unique environment of the City of Eternal Night and wanted to relocate there.
