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.
âThank you, but weâre not hungry yet.â
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,
âIt doesnât matter. You can eat whenever youâre hungry!
â 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.
âOn Eternal Island, just call Dudley if you need anything.â
As he spoke, the elf named Dudley moved to the side under Claydeâs 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 IslandâŠ
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 thatâŠ
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 couldnât accept the Spore Druidsâ 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,
â There was a time when I thought I needed more people to spread my ideas, so I searched the world for like-minded people.
âAt first, I found the Order of Withering, but I soon discovered that they were a bunch of losers.
âThey didnât really love withering, but because they had been abandoned by nature, they had no choice but to embrace withering.
âThey embraced withering because they hated nature, which was the opposite of my philosophy.
âSo I abandoned them.
âLater, I met Dudley. He was the only survivor of the elven war.
âHe introduced me to the Spore Society.
âThis piqued my interest.
âThe Spore Society believed that decline was part of nature, and this was precisely the Yellow Jade Dragonâs philosophy.
âSo I brought him to Eternal Island so that his race could reproduce.
âIt was a pity.
âNot only did the former Sun Elves lose the Elven civil war, but the first Sun God they believed in also fell in the war.
âSince then.
âThe Sun Elves would be cursed for eternity, and they would never be able to return to their strong, healthy, and sunny appearance.
âMoonlight also rejected them.
âOnly dusk was willing to take them in.
âAs a result, the Sun Elves degenerated into Dusk Elves.
âThese former High Elves also became strange.
âIâve advised them several times not to plant mushrooms on themselves.
âThis would make them look abnormal.
âBut they just wouldnât listen!
âThey insisted that this was their way of communicating with nature and hoped to dispel the misunderstanding of mushrooms.
âThe Spore Societyâs goal was to make more people fall in love with mushrooms.
âIâm not optimistic about this.
âIn my opinion, if you want to vigorously promote the benefits of mushrooms, rather than planting mushrooms on yourself, itâs better to directly plant mushrooms on others.â
Hearing this.
Matthew and Margaret were both confused.
Clayde chuckled.
âThere is a type of mushroom that can slow down the hostâs thinking. There is also a type of mushroom that can make the host feel like they are in love.
âMy suggestion to them is to just plant these two mushrooms on someone else.
âIf everyone in the world was planted with mushrooms, wouldnât they appear very normal?â
Matthew rubbed his temples and forced a smile.
âThatâs a good idea.â
Before I met Dudley, I only mastered the field of Decay, but I didnât know how to create life.â Clayde looked very interested in talking. â 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 Societyâs 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.
â You two are Mages from the Seven Saint Alliance, right?â
