Chapter 817: Chapter 407 The Demon King is Roaring

The messages in the group chat didn’t stay active for long.

After everyone reported their own Statues of Gods situation, they greeted each other, asking everyone to keep an eye out for each other’s Divine Artifacts, and then they each logged off in succession, presumably to go back to prepare for new city planning and dungeon strategy.

Mu You didn’t rush to log off but instead sent a private message to Solomon.

"Hey there, what’s up?" Solomon was suddenly pinged by Mu You and felt a bit apprehensive.

"Oh, it’s nothing serious. I’ve taken on a quest and need to find someone named ’Radath Caesar,’ a historical emperor of a desert nation. Isn’t your City of Dawn located in the desert region? So I was hoping you could help me gather some information on him," Mu You said.

City of Dawn was stationed on the most sand-concentrated land on the Star Spirit World continent, with tens of millions of residents killing monsters and doing various quests in the desert every day, making the probability of coming across related information fairly high.

"Oh, that little thing..." Hearing this, Solomon immediately felt relieved. He thought it was some god-related important matter, but it turned out to be just finding information – that’s too easy!

Solomon immediately promised, "Don’t worry, I’ll issue an information reward in the name of the City Lord. As long as this person is in the desert, we’re bound to get some news."

"Thanks a lot."

"Haha, no need to be polite."

...

Mu You logged out of the forum, logged back into the game, transferred his equipment and items, and pulled his character back to Red Rose Academy.

Having been busy dealing with Dark City affairs over the past week, he had fallen behind in his academy courses. His progress on three advanced magic spells had come to a halt. Taking advantage of the current free time, he hurried back to make up for a few magic lessons and took a stroll through the library. Partly because ’a criminal always returns to the scene of the crime,’ and partly because he was looking for information on ’White Maple City.’

White Maple City was the name mentioned in a nursery rhyme he discovered in the Silent Library. The lyrics spoke of a ’Demon God,’ which might be a breakthrough for his legacy quest.

To Mu You’s surprise, the library was sealed!

"You arrive in front of the Red Rose Library only to find its doors tightly locked, surrounded by a group of students pointing and discussing the magical notice at the entrance."

"You take a closer look at the notice at the door."

"Madame McKenna, the library admin, was attacked by a mysterious assailant during her routine night patrol yesterday. Madame McKenna insists she was the victim of a pervert, a premeditated act of indecency, which the academy takes very seriously. Therefore, it has been decided to temporarily close the library to preserve evidence! The academy will cooperate with the Imperial Capital Security Department to investigate the perpetrator on campus. Until the culprit is identified, the library will remain closed to the public. If any teachers or students come across related clues, please contact the staff immediately to report them. We appreciate your cooperation..."

"???"

Mu You was completely baffled after reading.

A pervert? An indecent act?

Was there another criminal last night nearby?

Or did they mean him?

But all he did was knock someone out with a club, how could he be bizarrely accused of indecency...

Mu You had a strange look on his face, being unfairly labeled as a pervert, and what’s worse, he couldn’t even argue his innocence. It truly felt like being wrongly accused and unable to wash away the stain even if he jumped into the Yellow River...

But then, after thinking carefully, he suddenly realized that there might be more to this than meets the eye.

If it was just to investigate last night’s attack, why was it necessary to lock down the library? And making a point that it would not be reopened until the perpetrator was found...

Mu You had guessed the real reason.

Last night was a full moon, and the library admin was attacked on that very night. Those high up in the academy, even those in the Imperial Capital who knew of the existence of the Silent Library, would definitely connect that someone entered the Silent Library last night!

The hunt for the perpetrator could likely be a pretext; the true cause being last night’s incident, which raised the alarm among some high-level individuals in the Imperial Capital. To prevent the secrets of the Silent Library from being exposed again, they decided to find an excuse to completely close down the library!

"This has blown up into quite the situation..."

Mu You sighed, resigned, and made his character walk away from the library.

Fortunately, he had gathered most of the urgent information he needed last night, so he didn’t have other immediate needs for that library.

Moreover, having experienced the library’s lockdown, Mu You suddenly remembered where he had seen the name ’White Maple City.’

—Elf Horn!

White Maple City had appeared in a quest given by Sunlight Elves, which required him to escort an envoy of the Sunlight Elves into an abandoned city occupied by the Undead, set up a Teleportation Array, allowing a large army of Sunlight Elves to teleport in and launch a surprise attack against the Undead to reclaim the city.

And the name of that city was White Maple City!

In the game, Mu You looked at the horn to see the last time he blew the Elf Horn was around midnight on Sunday last week; there were still about five or six hours of cooldown left.

After making some cards at home to pass the time, the moment midnight came, he promptly blew the horn.

"You blew the Elf Horn."

"Dark Elf Queen Fred the Exile appears before you. Fred gives you a glance and shakes her head, indicating that there are no missions to assign you this week."

"Oh?"

Mu You was taken aback, never before had there been a time when she appeared without providing a mission.
