Chapter 474: The Spore Society and the Dusk Elves
Translator: Lonelytree
The appearance of the Dusk Elves was far from the human imagination of the elves.
They had long and thin torsos and limbs, pointy ears, seaweed-like dark green hair, and large and bright eyes. They also had mushrooms growing on their bodies.
Because they were too skinny.
Matthew even suspected that the nutrients in their bodies had been absorbed by the mushrooms.
Their skin colour was dark, but unlike the dark colour of the drows, the skin of the dusk elves was a relatively healthy wheat colour.
“Thank you, but we’re not hungry yet.”
Facing the elves who would not take no for an answer, Matthew and Margaret took the mushrooms but did not eat them immediately. The other party said happily,
“It doesn’t matter. You can eat whenever you’re hungry!
” This is a mushroom that was grown with my blood and spirit. It has a high nutritional value. One bite is enough to fill you up for a day.
“On Eternal Island, just call Dudley if you need anything.”
As he spoke, the elf named Dudley moved to the side under Clayde’s signal.
The three of them continued walking toward the centre of the island.
Along the way, Matthew saw neat and tall treehouses. Under the eaves were all kinds of mushrooms and other kinds of fungi.
In the centre of the treehouse was an extremely wide open space.
The open space was covered with a thick layer of soft sand.
It seemed that no one lived nearby.
According to Clayde, his nest was built on the cliff on the northwest side of the island. Because his main body was too big, the cliff was almost hollowed out.
As for the natives of Eternal Island…
Currently, there were only three types of creatures: the Dusk Elves, the Earth Spirits, and the Sea Demons.
Most of them were hardworking and capable Dusk Elves.
Every Dusk Elf was a natural Druid, and they were tightly united with the Spore Society as the core.
The sad truth was that…
Whether it was the Dusk Elves or the Druids of the Spore Society, they were not recognized by their own kind.
In Aindor, the Wood Elves, Night Elves, Sea Elves, and Cloud Elves recognized each other, and the Night Elves and Cloud Elves were slightly superior to the other Elves.
However, none of them acknowledged the existence of the Dusk Elves.
It was the same for the Spore Society.
The Druids of the Earth Society thought that they were no different from the Witherers.
The Ocean Society believed that the sea was the best place for life, not some fungus or bacteria.
The Moonlight Society also couldn’t accept the Spore Druids’ unique style.
The Storm Society was even more extreme. They regarded the Spore Society as scum among the Druids and vowed to eradicate them all.
These were all introduced by Clayde as he walked.
He continued,
” There was a time when I thought I needed more people to spread my ideas, so I searched the world for like-minded people.
“At first, I found the Order of Withering, but I soon discovered that they were a bunch of losers.
“They didn’t really love withering, but because they had been abandoned by nature, they had no choice but to embrace withering.
“They embraced withering because they hated nature, which was the opposite of my philosophy.
“So I abandoned them.
“Later, I met Dudley. He was the only survivor of the elven war.
“He introduced me to the Spore Society.
“This piqued my interest.
“The Spore Society believed that decline was part of nature, and this was precisely the Yellow Jade Dragon’s philosophy.
“So I brought him to Eternal Island so that his race could reproduce.
“It was a pity.
“Not only did the former Sun Elves lose the Elven civil war, but the first Sun God they believed in also fell in the war.
“Since then.
“The Sun Elves would be cursed for eternity, and they would never be able to return to their strong, healthy, and sunny appearance.
“Moonlight also rejected them.
“Only dusk was willing to take them in.
“As a result, the Sun Elves degenerated into Dusk Elves.
“These former High Elves also became strange.
“I’ve advised them several times not to plant mushrooms on themselves.
“This would make them look abnormal.
“But they just wouldn’t listen!
“They insisted that this was their way of communicating with nature and hoped to dispel the misunderstanding of mushrooms.
“The Spore Society’s goal was to make more people fall in love with mushrooms.
“I’m not optimistic about this.
“In my opinion, if you want to vigorously promote the benefits of mushrooms, rather than planting mushrooms on yourself, it’s better to directly plant mushrooms on others.”
Hearing this.
Matthew and Margaret were both confused.
Clayde chuckled.
“There is a type of mushroom that can slow down the host’s thinking. There is also a type of mushroom that can make the host feel like they are in love.
“My suggestion to them is to just plant these two mushrooms on someone else.
“If everyone in the world was planted with mushrooms, wouldn’t they appear very normal?”
Matthew rubbed his temples and forced a smile.
“That’s a good idea.”
Before I met Dudley, I only mastered the field of Decay, but I didn’t know how to create life.” Clayde looked very interested in talking. ” However, after delving into the fields of fungi and bacteria, I realized that the essence of biological decay is the creation of microorganisms. For this reason, I comprehended a new domain.
It can be said that the Spore Society’s worship of fungi has benefited me a lot. Sometimes, when you look at the world from a different perspective, you will find a different scenery.
” You two are Mages from the Seven Saint Alliance, right?”
