55 -55: The Four Principles of the Secret Technique Association_1
After leaving the village entrance, Mu You made a detour around the village, hoping to bump into the ‘little girl’ by chance, but as expected, no such luck.
This was within expectations.
After all, every player’s log-in time was unpredictable, and even if they did log in, they might not necessarily stay in the village, so the chances of encountering each other were quite low.
Shaking his head, Mu You was ready to leave the village and head to the Foggy Mountain in the south.
However, when he returned to the entrance of the village, he unexpectedly ran into a werewolf.
[You arrive at the village entrance and catch a glimpse of a werewolf entering through the village gates.]
[The werewolf has spotted you but does not attack.
Instead, it merely glanced at you from afar before shifting its gaze and resuming its journey.]
It was the first time they had encountered each other so openly.
Unfortunately, neither could do anything to the other at this point.
The werewolf knew Mu You had a poison, so it absolutely wouldn’t bite him, and as long as the werewolf didn’t bite, Mu You’s poison couldn’t be utilized either.
As a result, it led to a rather awkward situation: although the two of them detested each other and wouldn’t hesitate to eliminate the other given the chance, upon a face-to-face encounter, they ended up maintaining a surface level of peace and passed by each other.
[As you two pass each other, the werewolf suddenly turns its head and makes a ‘slit-throat’ gesture at you before quickly going farther away.]
“Damn it, what a show-off!”
The corner of Mu You’s mouth twitched.
This critter was too cocky, thinking he didn’t know anything just because he was a newbie?
Wait until my Black Magic is thoroughly mastered, and we’ll see who gets the last laugh!
Mu You thought gloomily.
Actually, after inheriting the Black Magic, and coupled with the Phantom Wand, and the Phoenix Feather, Mu You already had the strength to confront the werewolf head-on. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
However, this still wasn’t enough!
There were still many aspects he could improve upon, whereas the werewolf’s strength had already reached a certain bottleneck.
What he needed to do now was to enhance his abilities as quickly as possible until the day he could overpower the werewolf.
After that, it would not be too late to settle score.
“Let’s take one step at a time…”
Mu You exhaled and looked at the time.
11:58 PM.
In two minutes, it would be Thursday midnight.
Mu You opened his personal panel and took out the ‘Aries Ring’.
The so-called Aries Ring was an antique metal thumb ring.
The face of the ring was carved with a small head of a ram, which to the untrained eye, would appear no different than a common antique thumb ring.
Mu You instantly switched to the Watchman avatar and put the ring on his thumb.
Just then, the second hand on the clock passed midnight.
A new day had arrived!
A dazzling red light suddenly emanated from the tip of the ring, casting in front of Mu You, and formed an elliptical teleportation portal.
Inside the portal was a swirling vortex of deep red, twisting and turning erratically, almost like the mouth of a monstrous creature ready to devour its prey.
At the same time, a stream of information was transmitted directly into Mu You’s mind through the Aries Ring.
[The 9442nd meeting of the Sorcerer Association is about to begin.
All participants, please remember the four rules of the Sorcerer Association.]
[First, never reveal the existence of the Sorcerer Association to any non-association members.]
[Second, the Association is a platform that provides a safe means of communication and trade for sorcerers.
All members must remain at their respective positions during the meeting, and no attacks on each other are allowed.
Anyone who breaks this rule will have their meeting participation privileges revoked permanently.]
[Third, during the meeting, the Upper Constellation members have the right to mute the Lower Constellation members.
The owner of the Aries Ring has the right to ‘kick’ any member but must also assume the responsibility of a supervisor to ensure fairness and voluntariness in the transactions between members.]
[Fourth, all members must always be careful to hide their identities and should never reveal any information regarding their identity and location during the meeting.]
[The teleportation portal will remain open for one minute.
Please decide within one minute whether or not you wish to participate in this meeting.]
Mu You was stunned, it turned out that participation in these meetings was not mandatory, he could choose to go or not to go.
Of course, this was his first time, so he definitely intended to go.
Mu You pulled his hood low to cover as much of his face as possible, and after a quick check to ensure that there were no traces that could reveal his identity, he stepped into the teleportation portal.
The moment he stepped in, it felt like he had entered another world.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a grand and spacious palace.
Before him was a long silver metallic table, around which were twelve identical metallic chairs evenly spaced out.
Mu You was sitting right at the head of the table, and right in front of him, engraved on the table was a statue of a ram’s head, identical to the one on the ring.
Down the table from his position, the table was etched with the symbols of the other zodiac signs: Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces.
At the moment, six of the other eleven seats were occupied, by Taurus, Gemini, Leo on the left side of the table, and Scorpio, Sagittarius, Aquarius on the right.
The remaining five seats were empty, presumably their occupants had chosen to decline the invitation to the meeting.
To his relief, every person in the room was shrouded in a black fog, much like the shadow man in Detective Conan, with only their gender discernable and no specific facial features or body characteristics visible.
At the same time, he realized that he was stuck firmly in his chair, unable to leave the confines of his seat.
His physical strength and magic power seemed to be shackled, unable to flow freely.
“So this is how they prevent members from instigating conflicts…” Mu You thought.
By restricting everyone’s mobility and magic power, at least he didn’t have to worry about being attacked out of the blue here.
“Oh?
Three newbies joined at the same time this round!”
The one who spoke was the man sitting next to Mu You, at the ‘Taurus’ spot.
His physique and voice made it evident that he was a man.
“Hehe, it appears that as the game is nearing its public testing phase, the number of newbies is also increasing rapidly.” The man on the Gemini seat chimed in, also a man.
“Indeed, with the large-scale testing starting next week, I wouldn’t be surprised if all seats here get taken…” The man from Taurus chuckled.
“Time flies so fast…”
…
The two men chatted amongst themselves, seemingly friendly, probably acquaintances in real life.
What surprised Mu You was that these two were talking in Chinese, and from the reactions of the other four participants, it seemed that they could understand their conversation too…
Did that mean everyone gathered here were players?
Mu You was taken aback.
Previously, he thought that after arriving here, he would be dealing with a group of Star Spirit Wizards, and his awful Star Spirit Language would probably give him away the moment he spoke.
He had even considered pretending to be mute, but now, it turned out that all the attendees were players, this…
“Alright, before we begin the meeting, let me, as one of the veteran players, explain the rules here to our three newbies.”
The man from Taurus beside Mu You spoke up again, tapping the table a few times with his forefinger.
His gaze swept over Scorpio, Aquarius, and Aries, lingering slightly longer on Mu You.
