…

The appearance of the dusk elves is far from human fantasies about the elves.

They have slender torsos and limbs, pointed ears, dark green hair like seaweed, and big and bright eyes.

Because I'm really too thin.

Matthew even suspected that the nutrients in their bodies had been absorbed by the mushrooms.

Their skin color is darker, but unlike the pitch black of the drow, the skin of the dusk elves shows a relatively healthy wheat color.

"Thank you, but we're not hungry yet."

Faced with the elf's hospitality, the two Matthews took the mushrooms, but did not eat them immediately.

The other party said happily:

"It doesn't matter, you can eat anytime you're hungry!"

"This is a mushroom grown with my blood and spirit. It has high nutritional value. One bite can satisfy you for a day."

"On the Eternal Island, if anything happens, just call Dudley."

With that said, the elf named Dudley stepped aside at Crait's signal.

The three of them continued walking towards the center of the island.

Along the way, Matthew saw neat and tall tree houses, with various mushrooms and other types of fungi growing under the eaves.

The center of the tree house is an extremely open space.

The open space is covered with a thick layer of soft sand.

It seems like no one lives around here.

According to Crater, his lair was built on the cliff on the northwest side of the island. Because his body was so big, the cliff was almost hollowed out.

As for the natives of Timeless Island.

Currently there are only three creatures: dusk elves, earth spirits, and sea monsters.

Among them, the hardworking and capable dusk elves account for the majority.

Every dusk elf is a natural druid, and they are tightly united with the Spore Society as the core.

The sad fact is.

Whether they are the dusk elves or the druids of the Spore Society, they are not recognized by their peers.

In Irondor, the four major elven clans of wood elves, night elves, sea elves, and cloud elves recognize each other, and among them, the night elves and cloud elves are vaguely superior to the other elves.

But they don't recognize the existence of the dusk elves as a kindred race.

The same goes for the Spore Society.

The druids of the Earth Order consider them no different than the Blighted;

The Ocean Society believes that the sea is the best destination for life, not fungi and bacteria;

The Moonlight Society also cannot accept the alternative looks of the Spore Druids;

The Storm Society is even more extreme. They regard the Spore Society as the scum among druids and vow to eradicate them all.

All of the above were introduced by Crater while walking.

He continued:

“For a while, I thought I needed more people to promote my ideas, so I searched for like-minded people all over the world.

At first I found the Order of the Blight, but I soon discovered that they were a bunch of losers.

They don't really love withering, they just have to throw themselves into the embrace of withering because they have been abandoned by nature.

They embrace blight because they hate nature, which is contrary to my philosophy.

So I abandoned them.

Later I met Dudley, who was the only survivor of his tribe in the Elf War.

He introduced me to the Spore Society.

This interests me a lot.

The Spore Society believes that decay is part of nature, which is precisely Huang Yulong's philosophy.

So I brought him to the Eternal Island so that his family could thrive.

Unfortunately.

The former sun elves not only lost the civil war among the elves, but the first-generation sun god they believed in also fell in the war between gods.

since then.

The sun elves were eternally cursed, and they could never return to their former strong, healthy and sunny appearance.

The moonlight also keeps them away.

Only dusk would give them some shelter.

So the sun elf degenerated into the dusk elf.

As a result, these former high elves became behaving strangely——

I have advised them several times not to grow mushrooms on themselves.

This will make you look abnormal.

But they just don't listen!

They insist that this is their way of communicating with nature, and hope that through this move, they can dispel the misunderstanding of mushrooms from the outside world.

The goal of the Spore Association is to hope that more people can fall in love with mushrooms.

I'm not optimistic about this.

In my opinion, if you want to vigorously promote the benefits of mushrooms, it is easier and more effective to grow mushrooms directly on others than to grow them on yourself."

Hear this.

Matthew and Margaret were both confused.

Kraite chuckled and said:

"There is a kind of mushroom that can make the host think slowly, and there is also a kind of mushroom that can make the host feel like falling in love.

My advice to them is to just plant these two mushrooms on other people——

If everyone in the world had mushrooms planted on their bodies, wouldn’t they look normal!”

Matthew rubbed his temples and forced a smile:

"That's an idea."

"Before I met Dudley, I only mastered the field of decline, but I didn't know how to create life."

Crater seemed to be in a lively mood:

"But after getting deeper into the fields of fungi and bacteria, I realized that the essence of biological decay is the creation of microorganisms. For this reason, I understood a new field."

"It can be said that I have benefited a lot from the Spore Society's worship of fungi. Sometimes when you look at the world from a different angle, you will find a different scenery."

"You two are mages from the Seven Saints Alliance, right?"

Margaret nodded.

Crater asked expectantly:

"Are you or the mages you know interested in studying this topic?"

Margaret looked troubled.

It was Matthew who stepped forward to smooth things over:

"We do not rule out such plans in the future. Microbiology is indeed a neglected field. As long as we make preliminary preparations and time permits, we will conduct in-depth research."

Crater looked quite happy.

He repeatedly warned:

"If the Seven Saints Alliance launches a project in this area, be sure to ask me to be a consultant. I will provide strong support in this field for free."

"It's a pity that I am not a mage myself and do not know how to conduct research in this field."

"But I have a strong hunch.

Within the next hundred years, a "King of Fungi" will surely be born in this world.

In the future, microorganisms will shine on the world stage. Can you imagine that scene?

That’s really an exciting scene!”

However, what Matthew imagined was a terrifying scene of a giant mushroom destroying Rolling Stone Town.

Although he also liked Peggy's fried mushroom noodles, he had no expectations for a world dominated by fungi.
