……

"I'm sorry, my kind isn't very polite, but they don't mean it, they're just too welcoming."

"If you encounter this next time, just call Dudley."

Dudley, who looked a little brighter than the other Dudley, said apologetically.

Margaret frowned and looked at him:

"But you're all called Dudley? Why? ”

Dudley scratched his head helplessly, and in the process of this movement, several pieces of moss fell to the ground.

He hurriedly picked them up and carefully put them back in place.

"I'll answer this question to you both, but not now.

At noon to-day, you and your husband can go to me on the sand in the middle of the island, and I plan to invite you two to dinner, and explain my kind of problem by the way, do you think it is okay? ”

Dudley was very polite.

Margaret nodded:

"I'm going to walk around the island alone, is there anything taboo?"

Dudley smiled warmly:

"There are no taboos on the Eternal Isle, as long as you don't disturb Mr. Krett to rest, you can just wander around and make this place your home."

"Remember, call Dudley when there's something to do, and I'll show up on time."

As he spoke, he bowed to Margaret and slowly retreated.

Margaret continued her walk.

She activated the flying technique, and the island was unobstructed, and as Dudley had said, the Eternal Island seemed to be the same, except that the twilight elves all looked exactly the same and behaved a little sluggishly.

The atmosphere here is peaceful and peaceful.

Although there are negative energy hedrons everywhere, the aura of death here is much lighter than that of the negative energy plane.

It seems that the mushrooms that can be found everywhere secretly digest some of the negative energy and transform it into the power of life.

Although Margaret is ignorant of the two realms of life and death, she also feels that the existence of the Timeless Island seems to break the taboo of certain realms.

It was close to noon.

She meets Matthew, who is returning from the Dragon's Lair.

See him alone.

Margaret couldn't help asking:

"What about Mr. Kret?"

Matthew explains:

"He went to sea."

"Just now, the group of krakens sent a bunch of fish and shrimp, but the quality of those seafood made him not satisfied.

Kret's taste is very picky.

According to the Kraken leader, if he went to the sea to hunt for food himself, it often took several days to return.

But we're on the island right now, and he'll be back in a day or two. ”

Margaret's expression moved when she heard this, and she quickly opened a soundproof barrier, and then said:

"Shall we leave then?"

Matthew hesitated:

"Wouldn't it be nice to say goodbye?"

Margaret obviously had the same concerns, the Topaz Dragon was a naturally chaotic creature, and Crett was definitely a threat to the two, but for now, no matter what, they had done their best as a host.

It's true that you can get out of it if you just walk away, but if you bump into it later, I'm afraid it won't be easy to speak.

She looked a little embarrassed.

I'm afraid that only a mage who has become a legend is qualified to negotiate with them head-on.

Matthew asked:

"If he turns his face, how sure are we that we'll be able to escape?"

Margaret thought for a moment:

"If I don't actively trigger the Patronus, if I want to escape, I'm 90% sure that I can run away; If I want to take you with me, I'm only one percent left. ”

Matthew's face darkened:

"Am I that burdensome?"

Immediately, he asked curiously:

"The Patronus can still trigger actively?"

"Isn't it all passive during the NDE?"

Margaret explains:

"Most of the legendary Patronus is passive, but my teacher's is different, Surreel's Patronus can be triggered actively!"

Matthew suddenly showed envy.

Margaret looked at him as if she had reacted at this time:

"You also have a Patronus?"

"Didn't you say you don't have much money and don't want to go into debt?"

Matthew was stunned for a moment, not reacting.

Margaret suddenly leaned over and whispered in his ear:

"How much is Isabel's Patronus? It won't be more expensive than my mentor's, right? ”

"I spent a hundred thousand gold coins! It's still great value for money though. My Patronus can be used three times and has an active trigger function! ”

"However, after each consumption, if you find a mentor to recharge, you need to add extra money."

"What's that look on your face? I won't lose money, hehehahaha! ”

looked at Margaret with a look of schadenfreude.

Matthew couldn't bear to tell the truth.

And in the face of her digging to the bottom.

He had to say:

"It's inconvenient to disclose the specific numbers, and you compare ...... It's not bad. ”

Margaret suddenly looked like a difficult brother, she patted Matthew's shoulder and comforted:

"So when it comes to buying spells and abilities, you have to find Ms. Surier, the price is transparent, Tong Su is not bullied, and the main thing is fairness!"

……

It's close to noon.

The two of them walked leisurely to the center of the island.

This sandy area they noticed yesterday is one of the few places on the island that has not been occupied by mushrooms.

Today, there are a lot of mushrooms next to the sand.

Dudley instructed his fellow species to sort the mushrooms into separate categories, and at the same time took it upon himself to build a barbecue grill next to the sand.

It's just that there's no charcoal or an open flame underneath the grill.

Rather, it is a mushroom with orange-yellow spots, an oddly long stem, and a thick, round top.

But Dudley skillfully placed a few mushrooms and some seafood on the grill, and then stepped on the roots of the orange-yellow mushrooms.

A magical scene occurred.

The umbrella of the mushroom suddenly cracked, and tongues of fire like thin fingers emerged from it.

The flame gently scorched the ingredients on the shelf.

Dudley took out a large jar of mutton fat and brushed it up with a brush, and the ingredients on the shelf suddenly made a sizzling sound.

The strong fragrance came to the two of them under the conveyance of the island wind.

Margaret's nose twitched slightly, revealing a surprised expression:

"It smells pretty good."

Dudley smiled brightly at the two:

"You're here at the right time."

"Try my freshly grilled mushroom skewers!"

As he spoke, he handed over a bunch of mushrooms on the shelf.

Looking at the strange spots on the surface of the mushroom umbrella, Matthew hesitated.

Margaret was very bold, she took the initiative to take the bunch of mushrooms, took a small bite, and then her eyes lit up, and she ate them all.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

Matthew asked covertly.

Margaret waved her hand:

"I have "all poisons are invulnerable", and besides, I can eat anything when it's baked!"

As she spoke, a green glow flashed in her head.

Immediately.

Half of her face was also filled with a thick green.

"What's going on?"

Margaret slapped her face in hindsight.

Dudley laughed and said:

"A little natural reaction, it's not a big problem, it'll be fine later."

Sure enough, half a minute later, the green light on Margaret's head was gone.

She looks so good!

Matthew glanced at the data bar.

……

"Hint: Your partner Margaret ingested a bunch of 'Healing Mushrooms' (Seared' and gained the effect of 'First Degree Healing'.

Level 1 Healing: Over the next half minute, regenerate 1 health every 3 seconds."

……

"Eating this mushroom restores life?"

Matthew looked at Dudley, who was busy with a barbecue, with some surprise.

The latter smiled kindly:

"When I first found out, I was just as surprised as you were."

"In fact, before entering the spore realm, I never expected that there would be such a magnificent and magnificent microcosm at the edge of the world."

"Mushrooms have the ability to be inclusive, and under Hasman's guidance, I tried to integrate the major species and various elements into a mushroom, and found many mushrooms of all varieties, and their existence will definitely surprise the world!"

As he spoke, he handed over another bunch of mushrooms.

"It's a duck leg mushroom. Here's how it works, I decompose the carcass of a "Hell Duck" with the ability from the spores realm, and then inject this nutrient into the mushroom as it is, and the result is a mushroom that tastes very similar to a duck's leg. ”

Margaret implied that Matthew was edible.

So under Dudley's eager gaze, he gently bit off half a mushroom.

As soon as the duck leg mushroom is in his mouth, Matthew's eyes are bright, the mushroom has a smooth and delicate taste, a thick and chewy texture, and the fishy smell of mutton fat and the umami of the mushroom are perfectly mixed together, harmonizing an almost perfect rhyme.

"Delicious!"

Matthew praised again and again.

……

"Hint: You eat a bunch of "Duck Leg Mushrooms" (Sealed), and your temporary strength is +1.

Duration: 30 minutes.

……

After trying it for yourself to find out that these mushrooms are indeed edible.

Matthew and the others also opened their stomachs and began to eat.

Dudley's barbecue skills are very exquisite, and the ingredients based on mushrooms and seafood are indeed good.

In addition to the taste of the mushroom itself.

Matthew is more concerned with the attributes they can provide.

He tried almost all the mushrooms he could eat, and found that in addition to the duck leg mushrooms that could add temporary strength, there were also "monkey brain mushrooms" that could improve agility;

"Durian mushrooms" that can be immune to "stinky clouds" after consumption;

"Steel Mushroom" that increases temporary constitution;

"Hallucinatory mushrooms" for heightened perception;

and the "Mage Mushroom" that increases temporary mana.

But the mage mushroom Matthew didn't eat it.

Although he didn't ask about the specific cultivation principle, it was not difficult for Matthew to deduce the origin of the mage mushroom from the cultivation process of the duck leg mushroom.

However, the mushrooms they consume are only the tip of the iceberg in Dudley's mushroom kingdom.

After eating.

The twilight elf enthusiastically introduces the two Matthews to the basket of mushrooms on the ground:

"Look, this umbrella has pale green spots, it's big, it's a muscle mushroom, and it's edible—it's just that after eating it, people will lose their minds in a short period of time and become hot-blooded fools who only know fitness, exercise, and wrestling."

"This umbrella is white and large, this is an enema mushroom."

"That's the Screaming Mushroom, be careful, don't scare her, she'll scream."

"This pale blue, pointy mushroom is the Frost Mushroom, and with just three of them, you can harvest an ice cellar."

"The one I was barbecuing just now was the "Flame Mushroom", this, this is the "Lightning Mushroom."

"And this, this is a "love mushroom" specially cultivated for men and women who lack experience in love, and after taking it, you can get the feeling of being in love, how about it? Isn't it great? I know it's useless to both of you, but I think there are plenty of others who will need it. ”

More than a dozen baskets of different types of mushrooms with different effects were seen.

Matthew called it an eye-opener:

"I didn't expect you to invent so many new species!"

That would make him understand why Blinken wanted so many mushrooms to go.

In the eyes of a knowledgeable mage, these mushrooms are just another form of spell scroll entirely!

Dudley smiled modestly:

"It's not so much that I invented them, it's that they invented me."

He didn't explain much about this sentence.

At this time.

The three of them had already seen the dozen or so baskets of mushrooms on the ground.

Matthew suddenly pointed to a small basket in the corner and asked:

"Is that a mushroom too?"

Dudley nodded:

"Yes, that's what Master Krayter told me to prepare in the morning, and it's a gift for you both."

As he spoke, he brought the basket of mushrooms over.

"It's a 'mushroom'."

"Mistress Crett hopes that Mr. Matthew will eat more and be more energetic."

Dudley said with an ambiguous look in his eyes.

Matthew suddenly had a little pain.

Margaret was addicted to the play, she poked Matthew's waist hard, and then put her hands on her waist, and said in a very pungent tone:

"Why don't you put it away quickly?"

"I know how to copy scrolls every day!"

Matthew reluctantly complied.

Dudley snickered for a moment, then said:

"I envy you.

Not only lovers, but also the same kind.

Since the fall of the Sun God, I have been the only one left with the Sun Elves.

I have turned to other elves in the hope of continuing their bloodline, but they have all refused for different reasons.

Not only that, but they also humiliated me in every way, thinking that I was a disgrace to the Sun Elf royal family.

They said I should die as generously as the rest of the royal family.

I think there's some truth to what they're saying.

But am I unreasonable?

If people can survive, why do they have to die? ”

As he said these words, a trace of sadness crossed Dudley's eyes.

Sun God?

Matthew searched his mind and found that he didn't have any knowledge of it.

He had to look at Margaret with a pleading gaze.

Margaret smiled playfully:

"Husband, open your mouth."

Matthew obediently opened his mouth.

Another white light popped out of her fingertips.

Steadily fell into Matthew's mouth.

There is also a faint fragrance.

Dudley couldn't stand it a little and turned around stiffly.

"Margaret's knowledge is bought with a single word and a gold coin!"

"I'm prostituting this knowledge for nothing now, which is equivalent to making her money!"

Matthew thought so, and then eagerly absorbed the knowledge in the ball of light.

……

"Knowledge: The Sun God—

Overview:

Gerald, the god of the sun, is the thirty-third recorded visitor from outside the world of Eindor.

He claimed to be from a wonderful world called the Icecrown Nebula, where a sorcery civilization was highly developed, far beyond any other plane or universe known to Aindor.

In the early days of the Age of Enlightenment, Gerald rose to prominence, and for a time took the position of the chief of the Tianlun Palace, ranking above the gods.

Since then, He has waged several rounds of divine warfare, mostly against gods who have persecuted visitors from outside the world.

Rise (omitted);

brilliant (omitted);

Lover (omitted);

betrayal (omitted);

Fall:

While the elves on the continent of Aiindor are engaged in a mighty civil war, Gerald, the once-prosperous sun god, is betrayed by three of his most trusted servants in the divine war.

In the end, Gerald was killed by the second-generation god of war, Vasnov, and his body fell, the kingdom of God collapsed, and he fell to thousands of planes.

Unlike other gods.

When the sun god fell, his self-created nebula realm produced a wonderful effect.

Under the effect of this realm, the fragments of the body of the sun god formed a special terrain unique to Aiindo when they hit the sky of Aiindor-

Ruins on the clouds.

At first, the ruins on the clouds consisted only of the body of the sun god and fragments of the kingdom of God.

But over time, it was discovered that a strange vortex had formed on the ruins above the clouds.

This vortex can attract a god's body and fragments of the kingdom when it falls, and properly contain it.

And so since.

All the fallen gods have a part of their bodies and fragments of the kingdom merged into the ruins of the clouds of Aindor, large and small.

And that vortex is also known as "the last tear of the sun god".

In any case, Gerald of the Age of Enlightenment was a symbol of progress relative to the other gods.

He is a straightforward and righteous god who does not seem to find any shortcomings other than a bit of a fiery temper when he drinks too much.

- Summary, a researcher by the name of a god, Hodien."

……

It turns out that the sun god is the predecessor of the time-traveler who once launched several rounds of divine warfare and eventually led to the formation of ruins on the clouds?

Matthew read through the gist of this knowledge in an instant.

With a look of regret on his face, he asked Dudley:

"I have heard about the Sun God, who is a venerable deity."

"And then?"

Dudley turned half of his body, his face flashing with reminiscence:

"Then I walked alone in the wilderness, but there was no place for me in Ayndor.

Although the unexpected turmoil ended the Elven civil war, the Sun Elves also died in the turmoil.

I lost my compatriots, I lost my hometown, I lost everything.

Eagle dogs from other gods in the heavenly realm also launched a hunt for me.

I had no choice but to flee to the inner planes.

But the environment in the inner plane was also very bad for me, after all, I was not even a legend at that time, and I still remember that when I first arrived in the negative energy plane, I was almost eaten by an old bone dragon!

Luckily, I had some means of escape, and I managed to avoid those disasters.

It was a really lost time, I was exhausted, I was exhausted, I had lost the direction I was going.

Only the survival instinct reminds me to live.

It's not just about living.

I also want to continue the blood of the Sun Elves.

Although I only had the mark of dusk on my body at that time, I believe that one day, the sun will rise again, and the sun elves will walk on the land again.

With such thoughts.

I moved on.

It didn't take long to meet Hasman.

I swear.

He's the most beautiful creature I've ever seen! ”

Dudley said emotionally:

"I can't put into words how beautiful he is, but I can introduce you to him.

Hasman is a very gentle life, and he is also very shy.

He only likes to come out and bask in the sun at noon every day.

Other times, even if you go underground, you won't be able to find him. ”

I just finished saying that.

In the sand in front of the three of them, a lot of sand had sunk into the middle, as if something was coming out of it.

Half a minute later.

A flower bone with a pure white color and a pointed head poked out of the sand.

The underside of the flower bones is covered with green bulbous hairs.

It went all around.

Suddenly shrank down a bit.

"Good afternoon, Hasman, don't worry, they're Lord Kret's guests, I'm here, no one dares to hurt you."

Dudley said softly.

Then he said to the two:

"Take two steps back, look away, don't look at Hasman yet, he's too shy."

The two of them did as they were told.

Dudley whispered some reassuring words in a loud voice.

Soon.

A huge amount of sand sank down frantically.

The white flower bones pulled upward, and in an instant, thousands of similar flower bones came out of it.

But that's not what he is.

Matthew saw a huge white flower emerge from the sand, and below the petals was a dark green stalk, so thick that it was as old as a centuries-old tree when taken out alone.

The flower has a lotus-like shape, the white and flawless petals bloom to the fullest, and the texture of the petals is very unique, a bit like crystal, hard and clear, reflecting an enviable brilliance in the sun.

The flower bones are interspersed between the petals.

On the outside of the petals, there are hundreds of millions of slender strips hanging down like a waterfall, and the long strips are pale yellow, a bit like fungal flagella in shape.

In the center of the petals is an irregular flower pond.

There's some honey-colored substance flowing through it.

The flower buds outside the planter are filled with a large number of spores.

The petals tremble every time.

It has a large number of spores that fly everywhere along the sea breeze.

……

"Hint: You've encountered the Rotten Bag Lord Hasman (Legendary Creature/??? ）」

……

Margaret quickly threw a protective spell to keep the spores from approaching the two.

Dudley smiled:

"Don't be nervous that Hasman won't hurt us, he's really a very gentle life."

"His spores do not harm living creatures, not even the undead, they only breed on dead bodies, thus giving birth to new sacs."

Matthew nodded calmly on the surface.

But in my heart I was extremely surprised-

I didn't expect that the life mentioned by Dudley was actually a bag of corruption!

As a necromancer.

Matthew couldn't know more about the pockets of corruption.

How to quickly parasitize enemies with the Cyst Spore and expand its infection ability is a must for a low-to-mid necromancer.

Matthew himself also has the ability to "control the rotten sac".

This ability is enough for him to have the power to dominate most corrupt bladders when encountered.

But at the moment, this one is clearly not in the ranks of the dominated.

"Can a rotten sac also be promoted to a legend?"

Matthew stared intently at this magnificent wonder, and his heart was slightly shocked by the diversity of creatures.

"As you can see, Hasman is the Monarch of the Rotten Sac, he looks like a giant plant, but he's actually a microbe, only bigger.

It was with Hasman's help that I was able to enter the realm of spores and observe new worlds that I had never seen before.

Although the world of microorganisms is generally not recognized by the outside world, they are real.

They are so inconspicuous, so difficult to notice, that even the will of nature is vague about them. ”

Dudley said with some reluctance.

Matthew comforted:

"The will of nature is a very vague concept, it is a collection of pan-consciousness, easily disturbed by a group of loud individuals, ignoring the silent majority."

Dudley's eyes lit up:

"You also agree that microbes and spores are part of nature?"

Matthew nodded, his eyes lit up.

Not only does he agree with Dudley, but he also believes that the spore realm can serve as a bridge between nature and death.

Equilibrium is only the goal.

The means should be more diverse.

"If I can master the spore realm, the contradictions between the ritual fields may be much easier to deal with, although it will not solve all the problems, but at least it will alleviate some of the contradictions."

Matthew thought to himself.

The spore field is a natural proof that nature and death can coexist.

If the correctness of this realm as natural is proven, Matthew's subsequent actions on balancing nature and immortality will go much more smoothly.

And after seeing the corrupt lords.

As to why the twilight elves on the island are exactly the same as Dudley, Matthew also has the answer in his mind.

Right now.

Dudley took the initiative to say:

"It just so happens that there is enough dew today, and allow me to show you the greatness of Hasman."

said.

He jumped lightly on the petals, several of which twisted rapidly, as if he was high-fived Dudley.

Dudley came to the flower pond, and a fierce man jumped into it.

Matthew lifted his chin and tiptoed, just about to take out the magic carpet and look at it high, but Margaret activated the flying technique, and with one hand on his back, he flew easily.

Her movements were in stark contrast to her petite form.

Matthew didn't have time to complain about the posture.

I can only look intently at the flower pond below.

But in the flower pond, Dudley was swimming happily.

And with his movements.

The nectar-like fluids rolled quickly.

Dudley tilted his head suddenly.

A head appeared beside him.

Then there are the hands and feet.

I don't see how he moves.

The next second.

A brand new Dudley came out of his body!

Margaret gasped.

However, Dudley didn't stop.

He stirred the nectar vigorously, and his mouth made a weird chirping sound.

Not much.

There were three identical Dudley in the flower pond!

But when this time comes.

The nectar inside has also bottomed out.

Dudley climbed out of it, raised his hands at the same time as the three newborn friends, and greeted the two in the sky.

Matthew's smile was quite genuine.

Margaret smiled a little reluctantly.

It seems that this scene is still a little too advanced for her.

……

"Hint: You've watched Dudley Hasman's fission reproduction in its entirety.

Your Knowledge (Microbes) +10"

……

"This is the way you found to continue the bloodline?"

When Dudley came down from the petals, Margaret asked with some difficulty.

Dudley smiled and said:

"Isn't that a cool way to do that?"

"I know you don't have a good impression of my kind, but that's because Hasman and I are still perfecting this form of reproduction."

"They look exactly like me, and their heads are a little unbright, but after our observation and research, after several generations of splitting, those twilight elves will be more different from my first generation, maybe in the future generation of division, there will be mutations, maybe they will have higher intelligence again, and there may be a female version of Dudley, so that I can continue the blood of the elves."

Dudley's eyes shone brightly as he said this.

That's something called faith.

As if sensing the fear in Margaret's eyes, Dudley comforted:

"I know this is unacceptable, but believe me, Hasman and I don't intend to breed indefinitely in this way, and we don't have the ambition to dominate the world."

"We're just trying something new, and the ultimate goal is just to continue the Sun Elf bloodline."

Dudley still looks quite sane.

His words dispelled many of Margaret's doubts.

She said calmly:

"I'm just worried that this method will cause panic in the world, even if it represents the advanced and advanced Seven Saints Alliance, it may not be able to accept the self-replicating elves."

A hint of helplessness flashed in Dudley's eyes.

He still said in a good voice:

"I can understand them, and as I said before, I don't intend to make everyone in the world recognize us, or breed through our way."

"Seeking common ground while reserving differences is one of the current tenets of the Spore Society, we just want to invite more people to observe the microcosm of the world, which has been neglected for too long."

"Actually, Lord Krett occasionally brings some humans to the island, but most of them bluntly say that they can't accept it after visiting the contents of the Spore Society, and the current performance of the two of you is quite surprising, at least you didn't run away after seeing my breeding methods."

Speaking of this, Dudley laughed to himself.

However, the next second.

But he heard Matthew ask:

"What do I need to do if I want to join the Spore Society?"

Dudley was slightly stunned, and then said ecstatically: "Do you want to join us?" ”

Matthew said in a soft tone:

"I need to understand my obligations when I join the association and what I need to do before I do it."

Dudley hurriedly said:

"There is no obligation, just try not to misunderstand us."

"It would be even better if we could promote the recognition of the spore field in the natural field."

"As for what we need to join, to be honest, I haven't figured it out yet, after all, you're the first person willing to join us."

Matthew reminded:

"I'm a necromancer, not a druid, and I meet the requirements to join?"

Dudley smiled wryly and said:

"With our current situation, where can we care about discriminating against other professions, it's very good that necromancers don't discriminate against us!"

"Well, if you really want to be a member of the Spore Society, just go over and say hello to Hasman, and if he agrees, then you will be the third full member!"

Matthew nodded.

He gave Margaret a reassuring look, then opened the realm of the oak and the undead, and slowly walked towards Hasman, the lord of the rotten sac.

I haven't gotten to the edge of the sand yet.

A gentle force enveloped him.

In an instant, Matthew opened up an extremely beautiful picture in front of him.

……

"Hint: Hassman, Lord of the Rotten Sac, has shared his realm with you—

You're in the spore realm.

You gain the ability to "make wine".

You gain the ability to "Decompose and Fertilize".

You gain the ability "Four seasons like spring".

Is your realm "plague" resonating with your current realm, activated?"

……
