"But the effects of a teleportation array are indeed very strong. In the past, wizards have suggested simply collaborating with the Sky Mechanical City, but I have never made a firm decision. Now, it seems my hesitation was correct, for we now await your Yamen."
Lord Reine sat on the other side of the desk, with a hint of lament in his eyes: "If Yamen can truly replace a teleportation array, and can be cultivated and mastered by us, even if it’s only for medium 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 mentioned Yamen as I came in, you must have had a request? Why don’t you speak of it?"
"Since you are providing Yamen, no demand would be too excessive for me to consider." As Lord Reine said this, he winked at Angel.
Angel smiled awkwardly: "I actually want to apply for a few sets of Yamen 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 something 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 seemed he only heard Angel mention that the materials for mature Yamen cultivation were expensive, but it seemed he forgot to ask exactly how expensive...
Lord Reine wanted to turn around and ask at that moment, but Angel had already started talking about Mieying. The crisis of Mieying for the Barbarian Cave was more urgent than the benefits Yamen 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 time, Angel primarily discussed Mieying’s traits, cultivation methods, 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 measure is to rapidly cultivate mature Mieying."
Only mature Mieying can absorb more green mist.
But cultivating Mieying is merely 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-time 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 moment 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 member of the Research and Development Institute, is nicknamed 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 meets outsiders, and simply meeting her is difficult; convincing her might be even harder."
Sanders: "Except for teaching at Ashiliya Academy, Regina indeed does not meet outsiders. But if the one seeking her is also a member of the Research and Development 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 came quickly and left just as swiftly. He took a Mieying embryo from Angel and prepared to meet 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 some shaking, a familiar face appeared on the other side of the light screen: a handsome young man exuding a mechanical chilly aura.
He was one of the two City Lords of Sky Mechanical City: the "Mechanical 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 some matters with the Mushroom Witch. I was wondering if I could meet her." Angel didn’t waste words and directly stated his purpose.
Rosen didn’t immediately respond but lowered his head, seemingly sensing something.
After a long pause, he finally said, "Hold on, the Mushroom Witch is currently in Fantasy Mechanical City, and I cannot contact her directly. I’ll have Anthony inquire for you."
