Margaret nodded.
Clayde asked expectantly,
” Then, are any of you or mages you know interested in researching this topic?”
Margaret looked troubled.
It was Matthew who stepped forward to smooth things over.
” We can’t rule out such plans in the future. Microbiology is indeed a neglected field. As long as we are prepared and time permits, we will conduct in-depth research.”
Clayde seemed quite happy.
He repeatedly warned,
‘ If the Alliance of Seven Saints has any research projects in this area, you must hire me as a consultant. I will provide you with great support in the field for free.
It’s a pity that I’m not a mage myself. I don’t know how to conduct domain research.
“But I have a strong premonition.
“In the next hundred years, a ” King of Fungi ” would definitely be born in this world.
“In the future, microorganisms will shine on the world stage. Can you imagine that?
“That’s a scene that I’m looking forward to!”
However, Matthew imagined a terrifying scene of a huge mushroom destroying Rolling Stone Town.
Although he liked Peggy’s mushroom fried noodles, he had no expectations for a world dominated by fungi.
But now, he could only muddle through.
Clayde brought the two of them around the island.
Eternal Island was indeed exotic. The landscape and architecture here were different from other places in Aindor.
But after looking at it for a long time, it was actually just that.
Mushroom.
Colorful mushrooms.
Mushrooms of all sizes.
Mushrooms with different smells.
Everything here seemed to be related to mushrooms or other fungi. After a long time, it gave people the feeling of being in a mushroom kingdom.
The sky quickly darkened.
Clayde invited the two of them to the cliff for dinner.
This place was close to the dragon nest and was the only place without mushrooms.
However, negative energy crystals were growing everywhere.
Under the sea cliff.
A group of sea demons rode the waves and presented them with a sumptuous seafood feast.
As for Clayde, he transformed back into his original form. The huge body of the Yellow Jade Dragon sank into the sea, and he would dive into the deep sea to have a good meal.
The dinner ended quickly.
When night fell, Clayde personally brought them to an empty mushroom tree house and told them that they could rest there.
After that, he left in a carefree manner.
Matthew and Margaret entered the room, and Margaret quickly set up a magic tent on the ground.
Matthew wanted to say something.
His mouth was covered by Margaret.
She grabbed Matthew’s hand and wrote a few words on it.
Matthew was tickled so badly that he couldn’t tell what she wanted to say.
Fortunately, there was still a data panel.
[Prompt: Your partner Margaret has reminded you that there are traces of eavesdropping in your room.]
“On the surface, this old dragon respects us very much, but the arrogance carved into the bones of a dragon is inevitable.
“He just wants to see us do what a married couple should do.
“And once he finds out that we’re pretending, I’m afraid we’ll suffer even more revenge.
“According to the Alliance’s information, Clayde is eccentric and temperamental. Don’t be fooled by his appearance, and you must always be vigilant!”
Matthew’s reaction was slow.
Margaret simply took out a piece of paper and wrote down the above contents with a floating quill.
Matthew read it once, and the content disappeared.
He knew that this was a magic tool used for encryption.
So he took the quill and wrote:
“Then what should we do tonight?”
Margaret muttered,
“We have to sound like a married couple. We have to make it look real.
“After tonight, we’ll think of a way to leave tomorrow. In any case, we can’t stay on this island for long.
“Have you noticed that almost all the Dusk Elves on the island look like Dudley? “The mushroom smell in this place is too strong. I keep feeling a little strange.”
Matthew agreed with Margaret’s concerns.
As for how they should sound like a couple…
The two of them fell into deep thought.
At night, in the dragon nest by the sea.
Clayde returned to his original form and lay on a pile of gems and gold coins. He used his dragon tail to fiddle with a crystal ball in boredom.
From time to time, the voices of men and women could be heard from the crystal ball.
Most of them were dull and boring.
All the way until late at night. The woman suddenly said,
“It’s almost time for bed.”
The old dragon was shocked.
The man replied,
“Wait a little longer. I still have to copy another scroll. Why don’t you sleep first?”
The woman complained,
“We just had a wedding, but you’re coming to bed later and later. You weren’t like this when we first got together eight years ago.”
The man coughed.
“I am indeed copying scrolls.”
The woman said angrily,
“Scrolls can be copied tomorrow. Didn’t you hear Mr. Clayde say that we need to have more children? Come up quickly!”
The man smiled reluctantly.
“Alright then.”
Then, there was a series of sparse, chattering sounds.
Clayde’s vertical pupils narrowed.
But not long after.
The voice stopped.
The woman asked,
“What happened?”
The man’s voice was a little unnatural.
“I’m not in a good state today. Let’s do it tomorrow.”
The woman was silent.
After a while.
She said,
“Then have a good rest today…” In response to her.
Only the man’s snoring could be heard.
Clayde felt that something was wrong when he heard this, but he couldn’t tell what was wrong.
He thought for a moment and cut off the conversation just now.. Then, he took out a smooth magic mirror and questioned in a deep voice,
