……

The world in front of me is like a dream.

Large patches of purple and red color twisted like a whirlpool, hitting Matthew's retina hard.

A single-celled organism with a ring of flagella around its cell membrane swam in front of him.

The next second.

The nucleus of its cells erupted like a volcano and erupted with brilliant lava.

The picture keeps zooming in.

A large dark cloud suddenly rose above the crater.

Above the dark clouds.

There are dozens of holy angels with halos on their heads chanting.

Their expressions were holy and reverent, and they held a holy book with a golden cross on the cover of their chests.

The cross on the cover of one of the books suddenly floated towards Matthew's pupils.

The golden light twisted violently.

Vaguely.

He heard a sad trumpet.

He saw the continental crust moving slowly, the volcanoes erupting, the earth drying up and solidifying, and the whole planet feeling of drought and ruin.

Then a great flood came from heaven.

Countless oceans fill the gaps in the plates and nourish everything on the planet.

The song of whales and dolphins can be heard from the sea.

Forests have sprung up from the ground.

Cottages are dotted around.

On a battlefield filled with gunsmoke, a tall humanoid creature wields a weapon and rushes at strangely shaped enemies.

In the dry, closed crypt, a shrine was lowered by a pair of calloused hands.

And so the time of the gods came.

Matthew saw people flying in the sky, tens of thousands of creatures kneeling down on the ground, and thousands of families chanting the names of different gods before the meal as the sun set.

This scene is interspersed like a slide in a colorful and distorted color patch.

Unspeakably psychedelic splendor.

After that, everything began to accelerate.

Matthew blinked, and the world seemed to pass 10,000 years.

Suddenly, he saw the planet explode, shattering into tiny clouds of dust.

Since then, the world has returned to tranquility.

Only a huge aura was left hanging over the starry sky.

And his "body" is constantly shuttling forward and shuttling.

He flew over the dust, over the stars, through the blue and green nebulae to the dark end of the astral boundary!

Suddenly.

A strong sense of weightlessness hits my heart!

He suddenly came to his senses.

……

"Hint: You've explored the microcosm.

You've observed how the world is changing through the eyes of a small group of microorganisms.

Your Knowledge (Origin and Evolution of the World) +20"

……

"Just now, it wasn't all hallucinations?"

Matthew blinked vigorously, noticing that he hadn't actually gotten too close to Hussman.

It's a fantastic visual journey that Matthew will remember for a long time.

He thought it was a hallucination, but now it seems that at least some of it is real.

He carved this part of the memory firmly in his mind.

"Hasman can take the initiative to share the field with me, which shows that he is a veteran in the field of spores, that is, the number of explorations is between 8~12 times. There are no other competitors in this field, and if nothing else, he becomes the master of the realm - that is, meeting the two conditions of "exploring the realm 13 times and completing the claim of domination" is almost a matter of course! ”

"No wonder Topaz Dragon Krett swears that a fungal king will be born in the future......"

"And I was lucky this time, I actually completed the "first entry" in one go, which means that I have explored the spore field 2~3 times."

Matthew marvels at Hasman's strength.

However, in the process just now, he not only observed the changes in the world from the perspective of microorganisms, but also felt a strong sense of loneliness.

The loneliness came from two souls, Hasman, the Lord of the Rotten Sac, and Dudley, the Sun Elf.

The latter is lonely because he has lost all his kind.

Hasman, on the other hand, is lonely because he is the only one in his group.

It is indeed very rare for microorganisms to give birth to such advanced intelligence.

Maybe it's because they're all lonely souls that they can attract each other.

Matthew froze and carefully examined the three abilities that the Spore Realm had brought to him.

……

"Winemaking: You can place a serving of any variety of food or fruit in a wine jar, and then use this ability to summon a group of microorganisms from the spore realm to magically ferment the raw materials.

After six hours of closure, you'll get a jar of wine.

Note: Different foods or fruits can make fine wine with different tastes and attributes;

Number of times per day: 3 times"

"Decomposition and fertilization: You can quickly decompose the remains of any plant or animal, as fast as 30 seconds or as slow as 5 minutes, and they will be completely decomposed into nutrients.

You can inject these nutrients into specific plants and use them to grow specific plants;

It can also spread nutrients evenly on the land, slightly enhancing the fertility of the land.

Note: There is no limit to the number of times this ability can be used per day, but it will consume a certain amount of energy when using it."

"Spring all year round: You can maintain a spring-like climate with up to 2 acres of land and space.

This ability is valid for a long time.

Designated land can only be replaced once a month."

……

All three are good abilities.

Fine wine is a hot seller everywhere, not to mention that the wine brewed through this method is fast and good, and there is a certain chance that it will come with an attribute increase!

This ability alone can produce a promising winemaker.

"Can you make any food or fruit or vegetable?"

"And if you use mushrooms, what kind of wine can you make?"

Matthew was curious about this ability.

"Decomposition and fertilization" can be used both as a supplement to the sanctuary of life and as proof of existence in the field of microorganisms.

It is the cornerstone of the bridge between life and death.

With this ability, Matthew has concrete means in the field of communication.

It can be used not only to grow trees, but also to grow anything!

Most importantly.

There is no limit to the number of times per day.

Matthew is still quite confident in his energy.

If you really can't do it, you can use energy potions.

"The cotton harvest of the high leaf collar is failing, and the wheat of the golden fertile fields is in a hurry, why don't I ask Rhaegar for another piece of land and try to be self-sufficient?"

"But it's a bit overkill for the Wizard Advisor to farm, and I'll have to ask Rhaegar to give me a lot of money."

Matthew thought wildly.

As for the final "Four Seasons Like Spring", this is also a magic skill of the land system.

Two acres of land are roughly estimated to be able to grow 60 oak trees.

This means that his progress in planting trees in the summer can be improved a lot.

In addition, in the face of a climate crisis, this capacity can also provide the most basic food supply.

And except in the spore field.

Matthew's Plague Realm has also been boosted in the state of activation and resonance.

He glanced at it.

The current Plague field is also at the entry level (2 times).

……

"Hint: You're taking a step further in the plague realm.

-

Your ability "Rotten Bag Mastery" has been strengthened, and the effects of the increase are as follows-

The rot spores that you control and spread through your abilities will cause a strong abdominal pain effect when inhaled into the digestive tract, and after 10 minutes of abdominal pain, the spore host will have an uncontrollable diarrhea.

-

You gain the ability "blinding fungus".

Blinding Fungi: You can activate this ability at any time, and when activated, a group of unique fungi will be attached to the palms of your hands.

After that, when you use a freehand melee attack, as long as you touch the enemy's skin, you have a high chance of inflicting a "blind" effect on the target after 5 seconds.

The duration of the blindness effect depends on the opponent's constitution and tenacity, and the shortest is not less than 18 seconds.

In particular, you can designate a Wild Form to share the effects of this ability."

……

When you see the previous instructions.

Matthew also thinks that the ability of "blinding fungi" is a bit of a chicken rib.

As a mage himself, or the main summoner, how could he easily step forward and fight with others?

What's more, the request is still freehand.

This is completely inconsistent with Matthew's actual combat scenario, no matter what, he will carry a dagger or something.

However, since it can be used in the wilderness form.

Matthew didn't hesitate to share it with Moon Bear.

This time, even if he was touched by the moon bear, there was a high probability that he would be blinded directly.

It can be a small surprise.

As for the strengthening of the control of the rotten sac, it can only be regarded as a slight improvement.

After all, it's Matthew's current level.

The bigger problem is how to silently deliver the spores into the enemy's body.

When activated, the spores are already a great nuisance to enemies.

The effect of abdominal pain can only be described as the icing on the cake.

All in all, Hasman's generosity is something Matthew is grateful for.

This is equivalent to getting a very critical area at no cost.

Although this is related to the current predicament of the spore society.

But it also helped Matthew a lot.

He subconsciously took two steps forward, wanting to lean in and thank Hasman for sharing.

Who knows the next second.

The huge white flower retracted violently as if frightened!

Whoa!

The petals converge upwards, the flower bones flutter all over the sky, and a large amount of sand rises.

Less than five seconds.

Hasman was completely underground!

The sand is flat.

Only a ring of spilled sand around it proved that the miraculous life had appeared.

"Don't go any further, Hasman is too shy."

Dudley hurriedly walked over and said:

"He's already approved of you, but after all, it's the first time I've met you, so I'm embarrassed to have further contact."

"If you can stay on the Eternal Island for a few more days, he might be willing to let you touch it."

"Then again, welcome to the Spore Society!"

Matthew smiled and shook his hand.

At this time, Margaret next to her finally couldn't bear it anymore and gave him a look.

The two of them came to the side and whispered.

"Are you sure you want to join this association? I still think this sun elf is a little too weird, an elf creature that reproduces through microorganisms? ”

"Are you sure he won't go astray?"

Margaret voiced her concerns.

Matthew thought for a moment:

"If we leave here, maybe he's really going astray."

"And after I join, I can persuade him not to go astray."

Margaret was stunned.

Matthew's words sounded quite reasonable to her, but instinctively she still felt that it was wrong.

And after Matthew said that.

He couldn't wait to turn around and talk to Dudley again.

Margaret quietly pricked up her ears.

But listen to Matthew ask with concern:

"Speaking of which, if you continue the bloodline through fission reproduction, will it really not cause damage to yourself?"

Dudley replied:

"There will definitely be damage, I always feel like my brain is a lot dumber than before."

"But after testing, I'm actually smarter than before, but my soul is much weaker."

"Everything else is good, Hasman will also strictly limit the number of times I can split, in fact, I just want to split a female version of Dudley, but this thing is also very difficult to say, you have to try your luck."

Matthew mused:

"But the question is, even if a female version of Dudley is raised, are you sure she can have a baby for you?"

Dudley smiled wryly:

"I'm not sure, I'll just have to try."

Matthew persuaded:

"I think it's a bit risky to split ourselves up, maybe we should experiment with other species first, and it's good to experiment with it gradually-

Your safety should be guaranteed at the moment, right?

So there's really no need to be in such a hurry. ”

Dudley thought for a moment:

"You have a point, maybe I should have experimented on fission reproduction on other species first."

Margaret breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that Matthew is not talking nonsense, and his joining the Spore Society can indeed prevent this elf from going astray."

But that's what she just thought.

Matthew's next sentence popped up:

"How about trying zombies?"

"Skeletons will do, too."

"The undead who naturally have no ability to reproduce should be the most suitable sample for experimenting with fission reproduction!"

In Margaret's deeply troubled gaze.

Dudley's eyes lit up.

The two men got together excitedly, and they walked away, leaving her to dry up completely.

……

For an afternoon, Matthew and Dudley were discussing fission reproduction experiments.

The more the two talked, the more speculative they became, and Dudley offered to give Matthew more mushrooms, and Matthew picked some of them and took them away.

In fact, he is also very interested in the cultivation process of magic mushrooms, and it is definitely not enough to decompose and fertilize alone, but there must also be other abilities involved.

Even Dudley, however, needed the help of Hassman to complete the process.

Hasman had just been taken aback by Matthew, and it was estimated that it would take a few days to slowly accept him.

This is inevitably a bit of a pity for Matthew.

After all, they couldn't stay on the Eternal Isle for long.

On the one hand, because the purpose of this trip was actual combat training, and the itinerary was changed due to the encounter with Huang Yulong, it stands to reason that the course should be temporarily interrupted in time to return to the main material realm;

On the other hand, they are not prepared for long-term plane travel, and their physical adaptability to the new plane is not enough.

The longer they stay here, the more they feel the Inner Plane being repelled by them.

It's subtle and tangible.

After a long time, it will make people feel very uncomfortable, and the mood will become very irritable.

Matthew knew it was because of the missing elements.

Whether it is the negative energy plane or the qi element plane, the elements of these inner planes are relatively simple, and if the people in the main material realm do not make relevant preparations in advance, their bodies will become weak due to the lack of elements.

The change in mood and bad feelings are the body's alarm bells.

They can stay in the Inner Plane for a maximum of three to five days.

But that's the numerical limit.

They're not on a survival challenge, so it's impossible to push the limits.

In the evening.

Topaz dragon Kreit went to the sea to hunt and still did not return.

Matthew had to leave a farewell letter promising to visit again next time.

After that, he wrote down the plane coordinates of the Eternal Island, and then flew away from the plane with Margaret under Dudley's reluctant gaze.

They flew all the way towards the Land of the Six Rings of the Negative Energy Plane.

On the magic carpet.

Margaret said solemnly:

"I still think that Dudley is a big problem, I can sense that he is a legend, but I can't see his level specifically."

"It's the same feeling as Hasman, Lord of the Rotten Bag."

Matthew mused:

"Do you suspect that Dudley has become one with Hasman?"

"Quite possibly!"

Margaret persuaded:

"It's really rare to have two souls even though they've become one.

Judging from the sanity shown by Dudley, he should not be parasitized by the rotten sac, and the two sides may be in a symbiotic relationship, but I can't be sure of this either. ”

"In short, you have to be careful when dealing with them."

Matthew nodded solemnly.

He actually felt similarly, but neither Hasman nor Dudley showed ill will towards him.

So he is willing to give the Spore Society a certain amount of trust.

Of course, this trust is also built on guarding.

"Thank you for your concern."

Matthew thanked.

It is not difficult to see that Margaret is actually a person who does not have too many scheming.

Her attitude towards people is also very sincere, except for being a little poor, there are no shortcomings.

Margaret lifted her glasses:

"That's as it should be, who called you my student?"

Matthew laughed.

Margaret seemed to misunderstand his smile, and immediately exclaimed:

"Hey, don't get me wrong, except for the need to play in front of that old dragon, it's impossible between us."

Matthew laughed straight out loud.

Still, he asked:

"Aren't you yelling at me every day to keep you?"

Margaret is colorful:

"One yard is one yard, that is the transaction relationship with a clear price.

That kind of relationship is always time-limited, and when the time comes, it will be automatically terminated.

I don't want to be completely tied to someone else in my life, no matter how good a man is!

I'm the woman who wants to be the strongest battle mage.

Don't be bothered by the fetters of the world. ”

Matthew could sense that she wasn't joking, so he asked:

"Is it really possible to become the strongest battle mage by purchasing the ability to mantra?"

Margaret said seriously:

"So I've been honing my craft and trying to improve my abilities from other sources.

My project seemed to be yellow, no one wanted to invest in my true alchemy, and my legendary path was closed again.

But this level of frustration is only a small meaning in my life, and when I finish your lesson, I plan to go to the Plains of Blood to hone my skills-

Since true alchemy doesn't work, let blood and fire hone my fighting skills.

Don't look at me like that, I'm the most capable mage below the legend level in the Alliance, and those demons and demons in the Land of Blood War are destined to become my stepping stones.

Maybe when you hear my name again after I go to the Plains of Bloody War, it will be the day I ascend to the Legend with the Battle Realm! ”

Matthew listened quietly and didn't say much.

Just said "come on".

He could actually feel Margaret's struggles, and because of the special way she had risen, Surrell was both her mentor and her creditor, both her help and her obstacle.

If it weren't for Surreel, she might just be a very mediocre mage.

But with Surreel, if she wants to go further, she may face a torment and torture ten thousand times more painful than being a mediocre mage.

Such is the case with the Road of Legends.

For most of the world's aborigines, legends are out of reach.

Many people have not even found their own legendary way, and have wandered blankly outside it all their lives.

And even if you find the way of legend, how many can stick to your heart and persevere?

Even if they really stick to the end, there are not many who can reap good results.

Matthew doesn't know many people, and even within them, there are many who struggle for legends.

Li Weiqi is a typical example, he has been stuck at level 20 for many years, but he can't make an inch because of the extinction of the dragon.

The same is true for Margaret, the path of Fei Capital is not suitable for her, she is not shrewd enough and lacks talent.

Even if she imitated Suriel everywhere in words and deeds, in the end, she only reaped the end of a project that was bankrupt and uninvested.

Nourish the battle field with the endless battles of the bloody plains.

Ascending to the Legend as a Battle Mage may be her only way out.

Think of it.

Matthew said softly:

"You'd better let me know before you head to the Plains of Blood."

Margaret's little nose snorted:

"What's wrong?

Are you going to give me a ride?

There's no need for me to go to the Plains of Bloody Battles, and I'm definitely going to do it quietly, without much fanfare.

This kind of thing can't be said to be a whisper, and if I die on an alien plane, you'll be deemed to have never known me.

Don't claim that you learned your fighting skills from me, otherwise it will be a shame. ”

Matthew was silent.

"Don't think too much about it, I haven't finished your class yet, and besides, my creditors won't let me die so easily."

Margaret said lightly:

"Live smartly, Matthew."

"Even if I really don't make it back from the Plains of Blood, don't feel sorry for me, no matter what, I can find my rightful home, which is already better than many people."

Infected by her optimism, Matthew also smiled and asked:

"This is also Margaret's fighting philosophy?"

Margaret blinked:

"No, it's a relief between friends."

"I guess we're friends now."

……

The process of returning to the main material realm was uneventful.

The two were originally stowaways summoned by Xiao Boil, and they were naturally favored by gravity when they traveled from the inside out plane.

So just three seconds later, they were back in the Crucible House.

I made an appointment with Margaret about the approximate time of the next practical class.

Matthew went back to the oak grove.

In addition to enriching the combat experience, the biggest gain is the mushroom from Dudley.

Matthew intends to cultivate some of the mushrooms in the woods, which will not only enrich the ecology of the woods, but also try to create a real buffer zone in the middle of the two ceremonial fields.

When he returned, he immediately approached Obest and Argus and inquired about the condition of the two mounts.

Mr. Centaure's answer was a relief to Matthew.

The presence of the World Tree has allowed Golden Pegasus to quickly adapt to everything in the oak forest, and he seems to have a special attachment to this land, and he should not leave anytime soon.

The Black Knight Argus reported:

"Nightmare also likes the cemetery, but his personality is too wild, the cemetery can't shut him up, he always takes advantage of me not paying attention, sneaks to the dungeon outside the cemetery, and goes for most of the day, which makes people very worried."

Matthew mused:

"In that case, I'll let Peggy watch him."

Agus said helplessly:

"It was Lady Peggy who encouraged him to go on an expedition to a nearby dungeon!"

Matthew was silent.

Soon he finds Peggy in the kitchen.

As soon as Peggy saw Matthew, she happily put on her apron:

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

Matthew casually reported a few dish names, and then asked a little embarrassed:

"I heard that you've been riding the Red Flame Nightmare to the nearby dungeons for the past two days?"

Peggy nodded:

"Yes, yes."

Matthew just wanted to say something.

There was a snap.

Peggy pulled out a fist-sized object from her apron and slapped it on the cutting board:

"I was about to tell you, I went to the depths of the dungeon and picked up a lot of things and came back, do you want this kind of thing? If you don't want to, I won't go! ”

Matthew stared at the thing intently.

If she doesn't run around, she is stunned.

……

"Hint: Your buddy Peggy has given you a piece of Mithril!"

……

"You seem to have something to tell me just now?"

Peggy looked at Matthew quizzically as she prepared to cook.

Matthew took the piece of Mithril, coughed, and said solemnly:

"Take a soldier with you next time you go out."

"Be careful not to bring potential enemies home."

"And the most important thing is -

Next time I encounter something like this.

Remember to search your neighborhood. ”

……

Early the next morning.

Matthew went to the Lord's Mansion as usual to fish.

Today Zeller is not there.

It is said that it was Gao Yeling's side that was turbulent, and he went to the border of Kevin Village to check the situation.

There are only anxious Rhaegar and a sluggish Matthew in the office.

Rhaeggar's uneasiness stems from Siv.

In order to find out what is wrong with Sif, he must go back to Hell.

At the moment, it is inevitable that there are some feelings of homesickness.

And Matthew's mental atrophy comes from the ability in his mind that is about to be generated, and has been stuck for a long time.

Originally, under the effect of the potion, it only took a small battle for him to have a chance to directly awaken that ability.

However, after encountering Topaz Dragon, things became a little uncontrollable.

Follow-up though also got a lot of benefits in the spore association.

But this ability is really stuck there.

Matthew tried most of the night last night.

But no matter what he does.

What can't come out just can't get out.

This inevitably frustrated him.

All morning, Matthew yawned wildly.

At noon.

He was going to find a chance to slip away.

As a result, Rhaegar didn't take a nap today.

He walked out of the room, holding a small, delicately shaped round shield in his hand, and went to Matthew's office.

Rhaegar spoke:

"I'm about to go to purgatory, I have to be well prepared, I found this thing in my previous adventure bag, this thing is theoretically a magic immunity shield that can resist all magic, but I'm afraid it's falling into disrepair and declining in quality."

"Can you test it out for me?"

Matthew yawned wryly:

"I'm sorry Rhaegar but I'm not in good shape today."

"Or tomorrow? I'll be sure to test it for you tomorrow. ”

Rhaegar discharges five gold coins:

"Paid."

Matthew smiled helplessly:

"It's not a matter of money or money, my concentration today seems to be a bit of a problem, and it seems that there is no way to cast spells."

Rhaegar said displeased:

"In the past, you asked me to practice spells with you, but I agreed every time."

Matthew smiled bitterly:

"It's not that I shirk or don't agree, it's focus...... Well, I'll go to Mrs. Wesley for a cup of coffee and see if you can find the feeling of casting spells. ”

Rhaegar waved his hand:

"What kind of coffee do you want......

Suddenly.

He raised his shield and shouted with an abominable face:

"Sun Tzu!"

An inexplicable anger erupted in Matthew's heart.

He couldn't help but raise his hand, it was a malicious transformation technique!

Burst!

The white light struck the round shield, which was said to be immune to magic.

The Rhaegarien with a shield turned into a sheep.

And in that moment.

Matthew's eyes lit up.

He felt it suddenly.

That thing in my head—

It's out!

……

"Hint: After a period of combat fumbling, you have mastered a new ability, "Combat Reflex".

Combat Reflexes: When you encounter a fixed crisis or an eligible event, you will skip the time to think and instinctively use the corresponding spell or ability.

There is no limit to the number of spells or abilities that can be used through the Battle Reflex per day."

……

Matthew looked excitedly at the goat on the ground.

I can't wait to pick him up and kiss him.

Unexpectedly, the problem that plagued him in the middle of the night was solved like this!

He had just tried to undo the Transfiguration for Rhaegar.

A somewhat weak voice came from the hallway:

"Matthew?"

"Are you there?"

It was Siph's voice.

……
