"ntor, didn’t you go out with Ironclad Granny?" Angel looked at Sanders with so suspicion.
Upon returning to reality, he found that Sanders had actually left the Wilderness of Dreams before him. Now, Sanders was sitting opposite him, inadvertently tapping his fingers on the table, seemingly pondering sothing.
"Ironclad Granny only asked about so energy rules, then went to register her identity on her own, saying she wanted to stroll around the city."
Angel was a bit surprised: "Granny registered her identity?"
Originheart City’s the is set as a city for mortals from the beginning, so the rules are designed for mortals. Transcendents are typically proud and resist restrictions, and if Originheart City were a city of Transcendents, it would be understandable, but here, it’s a realm for mortals, and they naturally do not want to rge into it.
Like before, when he led everyone on the way to Sky Tower, whether Wallace or Lianna, they were very curious about the residents’ shapes, but they never thought of integrating into the lifestyle here for a closer encounter.
Therefore, when Angel learned that Ironclad Granny actively went to register her identity, he was quite surprised.
"Perhaps it’s because Granny hasn’t left the Source of Flow for a long ti, so she feels curious? Or maybe she wants to better understand the life forms of the Wilderness of Dreams." Sanders wasn’t sure if this was the correct answer, but he could see that Ironclad Granny wasn’t resistant to integrating into the lifestyle of Originheart City; she even agreed to take on construction tasks without stating her identity as a Transcendent.
Ironclad Granny was like an ordinary person, blending into Originheart City in the most unremarkable fashion.
No matter why Ironclad Granny chose this way, given her stature, she shouldn’t be a threat to Originheart City; it might just be a sincere wish to experience life.
Thinking about it, both Sanders and Angel didn’t dwell further, as it couldn’t be a bad thing.
"The misachieve infant you ntioned earlier, is it them?" Sanders glanced at Angel’s boots; although most of the view was blocked, he could still see a hint of green.
Angel nodded his head and casually picked up the three little fellows from the heel of his shoe, placing them in the palm of his hand.
Perhaps because they left the demiplane without the supply of Nightmare Realm aura, they appeared less lively.
Angel, through the green pattern on his right hand, casually granted a wisp of Nightmare Realm aura, which imdiately brought the three little ones back from a wilting state to normal, making them seem even more lively as they bounced in Angel’s palm.
Had Sanders not already learned the truth, it would be difficult to imagine that these three green mushrooms, now begging affectionately from Angel, would ultimately transform into terrifying creatures with tusks, devouring bodies and souls.
Sanders rarely engaged in biological research, and even though he carefully observed them deeply, he couldn’t glean much information from the misachieve infant. Although the misachieve infant had already shown so special traits, they couldn’t activate the misachieve now; if the green fog were emitted without proper preparation, the consequences would be hard to imagine.
Due to the misachieve’s special nature, Sanders could only quickly glance at them before shifting his focus.
Then, Sanders concentrated his gaze on the other mushrooms placed on the table.
Having displayed the misachieve, Angel also conveniently detached other "pendants" from his body, which he had brought from Duling Garden, mostly gifts from the Lunatic To and Minister Nuka.
During the Wilderness of Dreams, Angel had rely explained the origin of these mushrooms, stating that each had its own unique effect, using a pure white mushroom as an example.
Sanders recalled that the pure white mushroom was a segnt of the Sound Transmission Mushroom’s mycelium. When its parent grows mature, it can secrete offshoots, allowing the parent and offshoots to communicate across distances.
Though Sound Transmission Mushroom has so limitations, it’s generally a very powerful functional mushroom. However, because of the ergence of the Wilderness of Dreams, Angel’s explanation of its effects at the ti didn’t elicit much reaction.
As for the other mushrooms, considering they belonged to Angel personally, he didn’t elaborate during the Wilderness of Dreams, nor did others inquire further.
But now, Angel had placed these mushrooms on the table, giving Sanders the opportunity to ask about the functions of the other mushrooms beyond the Sound Transmission Mushroom.
During the Wilderness of Dreams, Angel hadn’t introduced the functions of these mushrooms simply because, unlike the misachieve and Phantom Performance, they were functional mushrooms; despite their outstanding effects, they had relatively low harm, so it didn’t matter whether he ntioned them or not.
Nonetheless, Angel hadn’t intended to conceal them. Since Sanders was inquiring now, Angel started explaining from the mushroom he deed most valuable.
"This multi-cluster mushroom was cultivated by Minister of Agriculture Nuka, and is nad Thriving..."
The effects of Thriving are very effective in stabilizing spatial fluctuations in demiplanes.
"...Speaking of Wilderness of Dreams, it can actually be considered a kind of demiplane. Thriving should likely have so effect on it too. However, thriving is nonetheless a living entity, and can’t be brought into the Wilderness of Dreams using the Dream Conch; it can only be brought through the Dream Entering Technique."
"Though I’m unsure what the effect of Dream Entering Technique would be on thriving; whether it could truly enter the Wilderness of Dreams, and even if it did, whether it would still possess the power to stabilize space."
These questions require more detailed experints later to uncover.
After introducing thriving, Angel discussed Yan.
While Sanders found the effects of thriving to be quite impressive, Yan’s function was even more direct and excellent: Once Yan matures, it can serve as a dium for spatial displacent!
"In my conception, Yan could, to so extent, substitute for teleportation arrays. Though it can only be used for dium and short-range displacents, it still connects to nearby Wizard Markets or Witcher Organizations with ultra-long-range teleportation arrays, circumventing the self-seclusion of the Barbarian Cave and safely and conveniently opening channels for external communication."
Angel: "The only pity is that while it’s cheaper than constructing ultra-long-range teleportation arrays, the cultivation costs of Yan are still quite steep. It’s uncertain whether Lord Rhein would be willing..."
Before the words were fully spoken, a grand voice emanated from outside the study.
"Certainly willing."
Amid swirling mist, a tall silhouette gradually manifested at the doorway.
He wore a white shirt with a linen-patterned vest, and every detail of his attire was neatly arranged; even his slightly streaked gray-white hair was ticulously combed.
It was Rhein!
Rhein stepped into the study, speaking as he walked: "You tid your announcent quite well."
Angel remained silent, as he had sensed Rhein’s arrival, which had prompted his statent.
"However, do you truly intend to entrust Yan to the Barbarian Cave?" Rhein quietly looked at Angel.
Angel nodded indifferently. When he learned about Yan at the banquet in Duling Garden, he knew that relying on individual strength made it actually very difficult to cultivate Yan because the consud materials were simply too great. Even if he managed to cultivate one or two Yan plants, it would actually be of little use because to fully utilize Yan, it would be best to establish a complete Yan network.
Moreover, even if a Yan network were truly established, it would require a large number of people to maintain, otherwise, Yan would be easily destroyed.
Considering both resources and manpower, it’s apparent that this isn’t sothing Angel could achieve on his own. Only a major witcher organization would have such resources.
Handing it over to the Barbarian Cave is evidently the way to maximize the benefits.
Seeing Angel’s stated attitude, Lord Reine couldn’t help but smile as well. If a systematic network of Yan could indeed be established, the strategic significance for the Barbarian Cave would be imnse.
"The reason the Barbarian Cave hasn’t established a teleportation array in the past is primarily because the core technology wasn’t in our hands, and using the teleportation array carries trendous risks; even official wizards could fall into danger if there’s any mishap. So, if it can be avoided, it is."
"But the effects of a teleportation array are indeed very strong. In the past, wizards have suggested simply collaborating with the Sky chanical City, but I have never made a firm decision. Now, it seems my hesitation was correct, for we now await your Yan."
Lord Reine sat on the other side of the desk, with a hint of lant in his eyes: "If Yan can truly replace a teleportation array, and can be cultivated and mastered by us, even if it’s only for dium to long-distance transmission, and no matter how large the consumption, the Barbarian Cave would spare no effort to establish it."
Pausing, Lord Reine looked at Angel: "When you specifically ntioned Yan as I ca in, you must have had a request? Why don’t you speak of it?"
"Since you are providing Yan, no demand would be too excessive for to consider." As Lord Reine said this, he winked at Angel.
Angel smiled awkwardly: "I actually want to apply for a few sets of Yan cultivation materials."
Lord Reine waved his hand generously: "No problem. I can decide, and you can apply for all the cultivation materials for these mushroom embryos for free."
Angel’s eyes lit up: "Really?"
Looking at Angel’s glittering eyes, Lord Reine felt sothing might be off but didn’t think much of it and nodded: "Of course."
"Then it’s decided. Now that Lord Reine is here, let’s talk about Mieying." After Angel finished speaking, he turned to the matter of Mieying with eagerness.
This apparent diversion and change of topic made Lord Reine feel more uneasy.
It seed he only heard Angel ntion that the materials for mature Yan cultivation were expensive, but it seed he forgot to ask exactly how expensive...
Lord Reine wanted to turn around and ask at that mont, but Angel had already started talking about Mieying. The crisis of Mieying for the Barbarian Cave was more urgent than the benefits Yan brought, so Lord Reine could only remain silent and listen to Angel’s explanation.
The terror of Mieying had been previously described in the Wilderness of Dreams and needed no further elaboration. This ti, Angel primarily discussed Mieying’s traits, cultivation thods, and ways to restrain it.
"...The only way to restrain Mieying is with Mieying itself." Angel shared everything he had heard from Bee Blair.
After speaking, Angel solemnly said: "The three little ones I brought out now are just embryos. If Mieying were to erupt in abundance like a living line, the amount of green mist they can absorb is limited."
"Therefore, the best current asure is to rapidly cultivate mature Mieying."
Only mature Mieying can absorb more green mist.
But cultivating Mieying is rely a passive response to the green mist eruption from Mieying. If the absorption limit of Mieying is surpassed, risks will still arise. So, it’s best to find a one-ti solution.
This requires deeper research into Mieying.
Angel, although willing to attempt researching Mieying, like Sanders, knows very little about biological research. Hence, he decided to hand over one of the Mieying embryos to Lord Reine, hoping he might have a solution.
"Among the wizards currently in the Barbarian Cave, the one most knowledgeable in biological research is Dumatin. However, his research leans toward the human body, and Mieying is a fungus, so it’s uncertain if he’ll be effective." Lord Reine contemplated for a mont and said.
If Dumatin also proved inadequate, relying solely on themselves for Mieying research would likely yield limited results.
Sanders: "To my knowledge, in the entire Southern Domain Wizard World, Regina at Ashiliya Academy is the most knowledgeable about mushrooms. Perhaps we can seek her help?"
Regina, also a mber of the Research and Developnt Institute, is nicknad the "Mushroom Witch."
Lord Reine: "If Regina could help, there would indeed be a significant chance of resolving the issue. However, I heard that Regina rarely ets outsiders, and simply eting her is difficult; convincing her might be even harder."
Sanders: "Except for teaching at Ashiliya Academy, Regina indeed does not et outsiders. But if the one seeking her is also a mber of the Research and Developnt Institute, wouldn’t they not be considered an outsider from her perspective?"
At this point, both Sanders and Lord Reine turned their gaze towards Angel.
...
Lord Reine ca quickly and left just as swiftly. He took a Mieying embryo from Angel and prepared to et Dumatin.
After Lord Reine left, Angel took out the mini signal tower.
He still intended to try contacting Regina.
When the signal tower was activated, a light screen slowly appeared.
After so shaking, a familiar face appeared on the other side of the light screen: a handso young man exuding a chanical chilly aura.
He was one of the two City Lords of Sky chanical City: the "chanical Beast Emperor," Rosen Yada.
Rosen quietly observed Angel without speaking, using his gaze to inquire about the purpose of the contact.
"City Lord Rosen, I have so matters with the Mushroom Witch. I was wondering if I could et her." Angel didn’t waste words and directly stated his purpose.
Rosen didn’t imdiately respond but lowered his head, seemingly sensing sothing.
After a long pause, he finally said, "Hold on, the Mushroom Witch is currently in Fantasy chanical City, and I cannot contact her directly. I’ll have Anthony inquire for you."
