Fortunately, he had a pocket watch, otherwise wouldn’t this be a waste of the horn’s uses?
Mu You shook his head, used the watch to go back in time, and continued to sound the horn.
The second time he encountered a Forest Elf, the mission was the same age-old ’Utopia Anomaly.’
Mu You directly went back in time to restart; his target for this week was very clear—it was a mission from the Sunlight Elves.
After a few more refreshes, the Fairy Lady remained elusive.
As could be seen from the Dark Elf’s example, even without a mission, Fred still came forward to notify him, which meant something must have happened to the Fairy Lady, preventing her from responding to the horn’s call.
Mu You continued to refresh until the seventh time, when he finally encountered a Sunlight Elf. However...
[Sunlight Elf Princess Salina, the Radiant, appears before you but informs you that there are no missions for you this week.]
Mu You was startled, how come you have no missions either?
He remembered clearly, the escort mission was still available last week, and it suddenly disappeared this week—could it have been completed?
Mu You furrowed his brows and pondered for a moment, then suddenly recalled something: the escort mission, it seemed to have a level restriction...
The Undead in White Maple City are very sensitive to the aura of higher-level beings, so the level of the mission participant needs to be kept below 17.
Last week, Mu You was level 19 and still managed to get the mission, which meant he was barely meeting the criteria, but this week, having surged to level 20 and breaking through his bottleneck, he had completely exceeded the mission’s limits.
Realizing the reason, Mu You could only give a bitter smile.
Being over the level required for the mission, he indeed had no way to avoid that; he surely couldn’t suppress his level just to wait for your mission.
However, at this point, Mu You still decided to ask one more question.
[After Salina finished speaking, she turned to disappear.]
[You hurriedly called out to her, mentioning that you lately noticed signs of Undead activities near White Maple City, close to the Sunlight Elf Territory. You tentatively asked Salina if there was anything you could help with?]
[Salina looked at you surprisingly, nodded and said, "There indeed was a secret infiltration mission needing your involvement, but unfortunately your level is now too high. As soon as you step into the Undead Realm, you would almost certainly be discovered..."]
Indeed, it was for exactly that reason!
Mu You hurriedly continued to type.
[You quickly asserted that it didn’t matter; you also needed to pass through White Maple City recently, and perhaps could try to help complete the mission en route. Even if you can’t complete it, there won’t be any loss for her.]
This was akin to actively requesting a mission, something Mu You had already done before when dealing with a Troll for the Forest Elves; he had obtained a mission to attack the Troll Tomb from Riley in a similar manner.
[Your statement seemed to persuade Salina.]
[After pondering, Salina nodded to you: "Alright, but this mission is difficult, don’t force it. However, if you can complete it, I will gift you an Arcane Mage Suit as a reward."]
[Congratulations, you have triggered the special mission ’Surprise Attack on White Maple City’.]
[Mission content: Carry the ’Mini Anchor Point Teleportation Array Disc’ provided by Salina, infiltrate White Maple City, find the right moment to install the teleportation array within a 500-meter radius of the city center, and protect it for over 5 hours until it auto-forms, ensuring that the Elf army can air-drop into White Maple City at any time.]
[Mission reward: One choice of Arcane Mage Suit accessory (epic level).]
[You received ’Mini Anchor Point Teleportation Array Disc’*1, ’White Maple City Map’*1.]
Mu You’s eyes lit up; he’d indeed triggered the mission again!
This time, however, he no longer needed to escort an envoy; instead, he was given an item, which could automatically construct a teleportation array, though the process would take five hours. During this time, he had to fend off the Undead alone to protect the array.
Honestly speaking, Mu You wasn’t really interested in Salina’s missions—he’d see if there was an opportunity to complete it, and if not, so be it.
What he really needed was that bonus map!
Mu You quickly opened the ’White Maple City Map’ to take a look.
The map illustrated the detailed landscape of White Maple City and its surrounding areas. Mu You searched around on the map and quickly found the term ’Tower of the Brave’.
The Tower of the Brave was located in a village southeast outside of White Maple City, and this village’s name was ’Village of the Brave’.
Simultaneously, on the map, the Tower of the Brave along with the entire Village of the Brave, were all classified as a red ’prohibited area’ marked with a ’strictly no entrance’ warning.
"This place really has some trickery..." Mu You thought to himself.
The lyrics of that nursery rhyme seemed not to be unsubstantiated; perhaps he could indeed find traces of the ’Demon God’ here.
Without delaying further, he immediately set off!
Mu You put away the map and teleported his character to Phoenix City, then rode a Chocobo towards White Maple City.
After about an hour’s journey, his character had arrived at the location.
[You have arrived at White Maple City.]
[Before you is a city occupied by the Undead.]
[Wherever the Undead army passes, the ground is corrupted into plague-ridden, rotten terrain, causing the land to become barren, the water sources to breed plagues, and the remains of all beings to transform into undead.]
[Looking around, you see a large number of Skeleton Soldiers and Skeleton Archers, made up of stark white bones, wandering aimlessly through the city. A cold wind blows through, making the entire city appear particularly chilling and eerie.]
