1128 Finally An Outcome (2/2)
”My dear friend, Gehrman,
”I've finally completed your request. I've invented mushrooms that can be planted in dark and harsh environments. They can grow by devouring the flesh and blood of monsters, without any other conditions...
”Their descendants will be divided into two categories. The first type will accumulate various kinds of poisons that cannot be eaten. However, they can be used as a source of poison. The other type can be used for food after being cooked at high temperatures through boiling, stewing, and frying. You must remember not to eat it raw or before it's cooked. Otherwise, they will proliferate in your body, using your flesh and blood as a hotbed...
”In consideration of having a variety of flavors, I've invented eleven kinds of mushrooms—some are rich in milk. This can be directly drunk. Some are like beef. Heh heh, when frying them, there's no need to provide any extra oil. Some are as delicate as fish meat but without the bones. My suggestion is to roast or boil it...
”All of these wouldn't have been possible without your help. If I hadn't already advanced and become a Druid, I might've taken a few years, or even more than a decade to resolve all the problems I encountered during the experimentation process...
”If you have any other ideas that are suitable for me, please share them with me.
Your friend forever,
Frank Lee.”
With the letter in hand, Klein fell silent for a long time. He looked up and realized that Miss Messenger was still waiting.
He sighed silently and walked to the desk. He took out a piece of paper and a pen and slowly wrote:
”...I'm very happy that you've succeeded. These mushrooms will help me greatly. They will effectively reduce famine in certain areas...
”...I'm currently busy with some matters, so I don't have any new ideas for now...
”...Your friend,
Gehrman Sparrow...”
After folding the letter, he looked at Miss Messenger and hesitantly asked, ”How's Frank Lee's condition like now?”
The head that Reinette Tinekerr had previously failed to say anything spoke first:
”Excited...”
The other three added, ”Animated...” ”Happy...”” Satisfied...”
Following that, the four heads said, ”No longer...” ”Afraid...” ”Of being buried...” ”In soil...”
”Why?” Klein subconsciously asked.
The four blonde, red-eyed heads in Reinette Tinekerr's hand spat out word by word:
”He...” ”Can...” ”Extract...” ”The...”
”Soil's...” ”Nutrients...” ”And...” ”Oxygen...”
Frank has really evolved quite a bit after becoming a Druid... For a moment, Klein wasn't sure if he should be happy for his friend, or if he should grieve for the crew of the Future.
As he watched Miss Messenger leave, Klein forced himself to sleep through Cogitation. Then, he woke up at 2:30 p.m. to prepare for this week's Tarot Gathering.
At three o'clock, dark red beams of light rose up from the ancient palace above the gray fog and solidified into their corresponding figures.
Audrey immediately stood up, curtsied, and bowed towards the end of the long bronze table.
”Good afternoon, Mr. Fool-”
As a senior Psychiatrist, she had great control over her emotions. Furthermore, she hadn't encountered any problems this week. She was mainly seeking out donations, contacting pharmaceutical factories, and organizing medical volunteers.
However, compared to the past, the cheerfulness and happiness she had when making her greeting had decreased significantly.
The Fool Klein nodded slightly in response to the greetings from the members of the Tarot Club. Following that, he cast his gaze at The Hermit.
He still owed this lady eight questions.
Cattleya bowed her head and said with an unfaultable attitude, ”Honorable Mr. Fool, there are still two questions this time.”
After obtaining approval, she continued, ”The first question is, what is the state of the devils in the Abyss?'
Queen Mystic's first suspicion is that the emperor's mausoleum is hidden in the Abyss... This is identical to the emperor's train of thought. She is indeed his biological daughter... Unfortunately, there are no ”citizens” that can be controlled there... The Fool Klein muttered to himself inwardly as he answered with an unchanging expression, ”The current Abyss is a place most Devils are unable to live in.”
