986. Fungi plantation in the ruins

As the knights split into 4 teams and entered the cave to explore, Huck and Albert accompanied Rand to wait in the furnace room.

"Marquis Huck, congratulations so much on having such a wonderful son!" Louis Shendu took the lead in complimenting, "The Imperial Capital School of Magic has always reserved a place for the galloping royal family, if you have school-age children in your family, you can enroll at any time, and official knights and magicians can also come to study." ”

"Really!" Huck's eyes lit up suddenly, even if his vision was much higher now, the admission notice personally promised by the principal of the Imperial Capital School of Magic was still attractive enough.

"I think Ryan is a good fit......" Huck just finished speaking, and involuntarily looked at Rand, hoping to gain the support of the de facto head of the family.

"Of course," Rand hurriedly agreed, "my eldest brother is very good, and he is about to become a great knight!" ”

"When I met Knight Ryan just now, I thought he was a malleable talent."

Ryan Galloping Horse was thus arranged by Huck, Rand and Louis in a few words to plan a new study abroad.

Whether it's Wendy, Cardinal, or Gruya, they all have great resistance to going to live in the imperial capital, but Rand does need someone with enough weight in the imperial capital, and since Daddy prefers Dragon's Tooth City, it is also a good idea to send the eldest brother to the imperial capital.

Rand's current three elder brothers, the second Aubert is in charge of the family's various businesses, and the third Pelly will go to the Holy City of the Temple Alliance to study with the demigod priest St. Peter.

Old Huck has not only been contacting relatives of the Galloping Horse family recently, but also actively selecting more potential children within his own family, tilting more potions, hoping that more children in the family can stimulate the bloodline.

Compared with his father's enthusiasm for family affairs, Rand can't even get his feet on the ground every day, and he doesn't even return to the harem of Padmila Mountain, so that Nila can't even find a chance to give birth.

While the Rand and the others were talking in the magic furnace, the knights had already dragged the other two high-level naked mole rats to the ground and began the free search phase.

The mid-to-low-level naked mole rats, the hedrons embedded in the caves, the mushrooms that emit a magical glow, and the gold coins left over from the Goblin Age, all of them are rare treasures for the knights of the Galloping Horse Family, so much so that except for Dugan Blue Dragon and Greyhound Dent, everyone else only stares at the ground and the walls digging through the walls, and does not think about finding the treasure room or the warehouse.

"They don't think ...... Goblin demigods, like our ancestors, usually pile up all the soft on the ground, ready to run away at any time, right? ”

In the magic furnace room, Rand felt the little bit of his relatives, and really wanted to find a magic circle to broadcast the location of the warehouse, but he was afraid that the two high-level officials of the imperial capital around him would see the joke.

Eventually, it was Gray Dog Dante's Warcraft Dog Little Cherry, who noticed that something was wrong with a rock wall, and finally found a new hidden room.

"Come here! Something is wrong in this room! ”

"Wow, wow~"

"Don't kill them all, let a few follow!"

Dugan's shouts, unknown shouts, and the sound of swords slashing echoed in the cavern, even attracting the attention of Rand and Crane in the Demon Furnace Chamber.

"It seems that there are still underground tribes here," Crane thought for a moment, "It's strange that I didn't feel that there was any civilization under this in the magic net just now." ”

"Probably a low-level subterranean tribe attached to naked mole rats," Louis speculated.

"Ryan and Dugan ...... It's going to be okay, right? Huck doesn't care what's down there, he just cares if his team suffers.

It didn't take long for Dugan to run back to the Demon Furnace Room, and as soon as he entered the door, he said to Rand: "Your Majesty, there is a very strange cave here, we dare not call the shots, please go and see for yourself!" ”

"It looks like you've gained a lot!" Dugan's words even piqued Klein's curiosity, "Then let's go and visit together!" ”

Soon, however, Crane lost the heart to speak, for he and Louis and Rand came to a glowing tunnel, and everything that grew on the ground, walls, and top of the tunnel glowed pale green.

"What are these things?" Rand approached the wall, only to find that on the dark brown wall, there were indescribably small glowing mushrooms.

"Don't show this to Halkala until you're sure of it!" Louis pulled out a mushroom and said with a smile, "Otherwise, the empire should end." ”

"So this is a plantation, and the trees that are supposed to grow on the ground have been put here by the Underlanders and naked mole rats?" Klein finally understood why in the big forest, he could see a sinkhole like white ground.

There are 20 meters down the floor of the Tiankeng Demon Furnace Room, and countless caves are penetrated into 3 floors, 4 inner and outer circular tunnels, and the inner walls of the tunnels are all covered with rotten wood, and the rotten wood is used by the underground tribe to grow fungi, that is, the entire tunnel is a fungus plantation.

"I used to hear Natasha say that the Underworld can build a large-scale underground plantation, but now it seems that this is indeed the case......," Klein nodded and said, "It's a pity that the underground tribe nests found before were too scattered, and this plantation can only have its current scale with the blessing of the magic furnace." ”

"You mean, this lair is the largest among the Underworld?" Rand got to the point, "But several elven clans say they are seriously threatened by the Underworld? ”

For Rand, although the scale of this plantation is large, but the efficiency is a bit low, all the crops produced by a magic furnace only raise 3 high-level magical beasts, if this is also considered a strong underworld, he really doesn't think there will be much threat to the elves.

"The Underworld live underground, and relying on magical beasts such as naked mole rats and cave spiders can wreak havoc on the forests on the ground, which is the biggest headache for elves," Crane explained.

Louis also added: "In addition, in the southern part of the Central Forest and the Great Forest, there are several abyssal caverns, in which the leaders of the underground clans can reach the level of demigods, and even the surrounding elven clans can be harvested regularly"

Rand understood what the two meant, and felt in his heart that the elves with infinite lifespans were not easy to live.

Just as a few of them were visiting the mushroom plantation, Ryan Galloping Horse hurriedly came over and said happily; "Rand! We found the remains of a demigod-level goblin in one room, though the damage was somewhat severe. ”

"It's okay," Rant's eyes never left the mushrooms on the wall, "Your Excellency, can I take them all with me?" ”

"These?" Crane and Louis nodded at each other, "Of course, even if you take them, these mushrooms affect the growth of the tree's root system very much, and even if you don't take them away, the new elven clan will have to be removed after they move over." ”

"Your Majesty Rand," Louis looked at Rand and felt that he had the idea of growing mushrooms, and couldn't help but remind, "These mushrooms are not as easy to raise as you think, and in addition to the necessary growth environment, mushrooms also need a culture medium." ”

"You mean the wood?" Rand noticed the blackened wood beneath the mushroom.

"Yes, generally speaking, ordinary mushrooms need to be made of primary wood as a medium in order to become a primary mushroom, and if you want to increase the content of mana, you have to work the fungus or medium."

In a word, mushrooms, as fungi, need a large number of magic trees as raw materials if they want to increase the concentration of magic power, which is too luxurious for areas outside the big forest.
