Chapter 31: Glowing Mushrooms

After the ceremony, Derick Berg "The Sun" curiously held the four shriveled fruits in his hands, leaving behind a piece of tissue paper on which the basic cultivation process was clearly written in the language of giants:

Peel off the outer skin, instill spirituality until the light converges and dims, bury the seeds in the soil, water them, and normally take three hours to grow.

To the tall body of the "sun", these spores, which resemble lanterns, appear even smaller. He had to hold them carefully and pour them into the small box he had prepared, for fear that if he exerted himself, he would squeeze the soft seeds.

According to Mr. "World", as long as they are poured with spirituality, how much water should be poured into them? A cup? Well, try pouring one cup first, and pour another one if there is no reaction......

Darek compared the size of the seeds, and finally fumbled around the corner of the cupboard at home for a long time, and turned out a deep-bottomed stone bowl that had not been used for a long time because of the crack.

Daerik carried the lantern to the corner of the wall outside and dug up most of the bowl of soil, and then returned to the house with the bowl, and after digging a depression in the soil in the bowl, Darik started to pinch a seed in his hand.

He peeled back the shrunken skin, saw the glowing grains inside, and tried to instill spirituality into it.

Suddenly, the round seed bloomed with a more intense light, and a halo of light spread out from above, and Daric thought that he had done something wrong, and he was full of trepidation.

But in the next second, such an anomaly disappeared, and all the light of that seed converged, and instead became unremarkable.

Is this what Mr. "World" is referring to? The light had receded, but the flash seemed strange, and I had to write it down and tell him about it when the time came.

Thinking so, Darek put the seeds in his hand into the stone bowl, flattened the soil layer, and then poured a full cup of water on it from the cup he usually drank at home, and a layer of dirt ash instantly floated up and floated on the impermeable water.

Daerik quickly poured too much water out of the bowl and placed the stone bowl on the table.

All that's left is to wait.

Derrick picked up the book he hadn't finished reading before, flipped to the reading progress with the stone leaves in his hand, and felt the bookmarks that were as thin as a thin slice and had been ground into the shape of black grass.

When he was old enough to start studying with others, Derrick's mother grinded out a dozen of these bookmarks, and Derrick once gave a few to his friends.

But like his parents, they're no longer there.

Even though their parents had been buried for a long time, the traces they left behind remained in the room, on every detail that Daerik could touch and see, like cobwebs that hung on memories that seemed to have happened yesterday.

Sometimes Derrick was surprised that people who had left in places they didn't care about left so many traces, and after they left him, Derrick could remember the trivial things he thought he had forgotten clearly.

Of course, he will miss his parents, and missing will only make him stronger.

I'm going to get better, I'm going to be stronger, and I'm definitely going to be someone you can be proud of!

Derick put the stone leaf bookmark next to him, for him, when he is not in the training field, reading is also a way to spend time, and the contact with the Tarot congregation also makes "Sun" more enthusiastic about learning.

However, his reading time only lasted ten minutes, and there was movement in the stone bowl on the table, which attracted Darik's attention.

He heard a faint humming sound, like something vibrating its wings, and it wasn't supposed to be the sound of a "plant" growing - unless it was mutating.

Darek immediately reached for his standing dagger in his room, and stared at the stone bowl with alarm.

The soil was wriggling, and it didn't take long for a glowing top cover to emerge, and Darik stared at it closely, even ready to purify it at any moment.

But the humming sound soon dissipated, and the mushroom was writhing slightly, extending its body upwards, and the steady and gentle light became stronger, allowing Darik's original nervous mood to gradually calm down.

It seems that it can really grow, it can really grow in such an environment......

Can such a plant be used as a new food source? Mr. "World" didn't seem to say that this plant was edible, I am not an expert in this area, and if it were the elders of the council, I might be able to test it in all aspects.

Darik's eyes widened in amazement as the mushroom continued to rise, its straight, silvery-white stem growing thicker and thicker, until the cap at the top suddenly swelled up and transformed into a giant saucer, but the outside had an eggshell-like texture.

In a series of slight "crackling" sounds, a soft light lit up, and the translucent balls that emitted light clung to each other, clinging to the bottom of the cap, like a large mass of frog eggs glued together.

Darek hadn't seen a frog, but he had seen the lair of some extraordinary monster, and he had seen something like that.

He recognized the shape of the dots of light, which looked very similar to the seeds he had obtained earlier, but the size of the mushroom was a bit beyond his imagination, and Mr. "World" didn't say that it would grow half a human tall......

The stone bowl made an even more unbearable cracking sound under the squeeze of a large number of mycelium inside.

"Oh, oops!"

Darek stepped forward, trying to hold the stone bowl with his hand that was getting bigger and bigger, and frantically transferred the mushroom that was still growing to an empty bucket.

Eventually, half a head shorter than Darik, the mushrooms stopped growing, the wide cap taking up a fifth of his bedroom, and the large "seeds" hanging below shimmered, dimming the candlelight.

At least it stopped, much to Derik's relief—he was really afraid that if the thing continued to grow taller, it would break through his roof, and everyone around would see that there was a bright "mushroom lamp" hanging outside the Berg house.

Crane would not have thought of such a mutation, the glowing mushroom he had grown was short, and the cap wrapped around the light was also an oval the size of a fist, completely different from the huge mushroom in front of Darik.

Derick didn't know this, but he also began to wonder if the situation was normal.

Daerik cautiously placed his hand close to the man-wide stem, which was cold but soft.

This mushroom grows so big, and it's not very suitable for indoors, I don't know if there is a way to improve it, "chief" they will definitely have a way.

Thinking of this, Daerik tried to reach out and grasp the fruit under the cap, but it was tightly attached to the other fruits, and after pulling it, Darik found that they all had a filament sticking out of their inside, forming a huge web-like fork with the rest of the fruit.

These filaments eventually fuse together and cling to the inside of the cap.

Deric used his dagger to pick off the filament, and succeeded in plucking a seed, but it was much larger than the ones given to him by Mr. World, and it emitted a steady and soft light that could almost be used as a candlelight.

Derick subconsciously looked around, and his entire room was lit up by the huge mushroom, which made him very dazed.

Just as Darek was holding the seed in a daze, there was a knock on the door outside.

Darek quickly arrived at the door and saw a familiar member of the exploration team: "Hello, Candace. ”

The equally tall team member nodded, "Darik Berg, the chief told you to join in the call, we are going to explore North City." ”

"Northtown......" Derik nodded vigorously, "I see, I'm ready to get over here!" ”

If you want to leave to complete the exploration mission, the plants in the house cannot be left alone, and you must find someone to take care of them.

Darek decides to hand over the box of seeds to the Chief, and tells him that he has experimented at home.

Of course, he will not hide the origin of this mushroom from the chief, which is an aid with the tacit consent of the "fool".

Praise to Mr. "Fool"!

Darek clenched the seed in his hand and thought.

——

The Red Glove Squad's liquidation of the "Spirit Order" is still going on in Byron.

The "Eye of the Goddess" Ilia accompanied her, but when everyone pursued the "Pale Hand", they pounced.

And when they channeled the captive, they got a clue that surprised everyone, and the person the "Pale Hand" went to meet turned out to be "Ince Zangwill".

During the night, as soon as he had free time, Leonard Mitchell wrote a letter to Gelman Sparrow's messenger.

The reply came much faster than Leonard had expected, and he quickly opened the envelope and saw a slightly familiar handwriting—he should have seen Klein's signature, handwritten notes, and occult notes, some while they were chatting, and some when he had made up his mind to leave Tingen.

But when Leonard's mind returned to the letter, he was a little troubled.

Although the old man promised to make a spell for him with two "Time Worms", what should he do if Ince Zangwill was possessed by an evil spirit?

Leonard is still self-aware, he is still the "Requiem" of Sequence 6, and it is possible to greatly improve his control of the spirit by being promoted to the "Spirit Witch" of Sequence 5.

Then it seems that consulting with a professional has become a more feasible path.

Leonard swiped a match, letting the flames swallow the letter before leaving his room.

These are all private bedrooms for the Red Glove team members with the help of local "night watchmen".

Leonard sorted his expression and knocked on the door of Daly diagonally across from him.

With no one answering, Leonard sighed silently and walked to Dunn's door.

Leonard knocked on the door, "Are you there, Ms. Dali?" ”

"Wait a minute!"

Daly's smiling voice came from inside the room, and Leonard rubbed his face and stood by the door with a blank face waiting.
