Chapter 293 "Growth"

Wang touched his chin: "Probably something was implanted in the captured intelligent creatures. This is very interesting. Did this mysterious master teach the technology to the cult, or did the cult develop the technology and was stolen by this master? Already?"

Flint: "Is it a big difference?"

Wang: "It's very big. We now suspect that the bishop of the sect was inspired by someone to become a follower of Ragnola. Understanding the source of the dissemination of the sect's technology will help us determine the real mastermind behind the scenes. .”

Xiaobai: "You said before that this might be the real mastermind behind this."

"Did I say it? That was just a joke. In fact, further information is needed to determine the owner here..." The king suddenly noticed that the gray dwarf Beretta was listening.

Wang grabbed the guy's collar and choked his neck: "You understand Common Language!"

Beretta was still acting, shaking her head repeatedly, trying hard to pretend that she didn't understand what Wang was saying.

Elizabeth: "If he understands Common Language, wouldn't he understand everything we said during the interrogation?"

Flint was stunned: "If Mary is stuck here, he probably won't live long."

"You have something to do with me?" Marika's voice suddenly appeared. Seeing that everyone was surprised, the drow explained a little more, "I vaguely heard the sound here, so I rushed back. You should be glad that this is the Underdark. , there are often gray dwarves or Kuo-Toa people making strange noises after eating too much moon candy. Otherwise, the noise you just made, the enemies in the entire fortress would come out to surround us."

Wang: "So have you detected anything?"

Marika: "Going in the direction I just explored, you will pass by a tavern. There are many gray dwarves drinking inside, and the bartender is a kuo-toa man. I admit it opened my eyes. It was the first time I saw someone who could be a bartender. A kuo-toa bartender.

"Further forward from the tavern, there is a series of planting areas, where a large number of mushrooms are grown."

Flint: "That should be the food security area of ​​this fortress. Unless that awesome master can fill the slaves' stomachs with nothing, he will always have to grow mushrooms."

Xiaobai: "Do Kuo Tao fish people also eat mushrooms?"

Wang: "They are omnivores just like humans. They can eat a little bit of everything, including mushrooms. And they also like dwarf steaks or drow steaks."

"This is the Underdark," the drow spread his hands. "It's not uncommon for one intelligent creature to eat another intelligent creature here."

At this time, Nini pointed at Beretta and said: "He has been listening to our conversation. Letting him run away will have a great impact on us."

Only then did Wang realize that he was off topic again. He turned to Franka: "Do you understand the map of the entire fortress now? Can you draw it?"

Franka: "If it's a map of the fortress, there's a copy in the leather pocket inside the baffle of his armor."

The king gestured to Gotrick: "Take it out."

Gotrek immediately took out the gray dwarf commander's armor that had been put away from his dimensional bag, touched behind the front bezel with his big hand, and sure enough he pulled out a document.

Gotrick unfolded the document in the air, and it was clearly the map of the fortress.

Wang grabbed the map and quickly found the small door on the edge of the map: "We are here. According to Marika, go in the direction where she went. There is a tavern called Dagon Tavern. It turns out that this is it, This place is called Dagon Tavern, and the bartender is a kuo-toa, which makes sense.

"Further down is the room where mushrooms are grown in the field, and further forward... is the research area. There are several rooms labeled 'cultivation rooms'. I always feel that the 'growth' Franca mentioned happens here. "

Marika nodded: "Yes, I touched the first culture room in the research area. It was full of doll-like people, imprisoned in special containers, and there was something... that might be bacteria coming from them. grow out.

"They look like they can dig out seven or eight large matsutake mushrooms." Xiaobai: "Matsutake mushrooms! They're delicious!"

Elizabeth said in surprise: "You actually like things other than meat? Not starch, but mushrooms?"

Xiaobai: "I don't like all mushrooms, except matsutake, especially the big ones, they are so fragrant when grilled."

Wang didn't pay attention to Xiaobai's words at all. He stared at the map thoughtfully: "Whether it's the cult or here, capturing intelligent creatures and then growing matsutake mushrooms on them... I mean, what's the point of microorganisms?"

Everyone in the rescue team looked at each other.

Finally, Flint waved his hand: "Never mind them! Since the two factions who want to destroy the world are doing this, it shows that there is special value in growing matsutake mushrooms on captives of intelligent creatures. In this case, we should kill all these cultivation rooms." .

"Just like we did before."

Wang thought for a while and nodded: "You are right. It doesn't matter what they are doing. What is important is to stop all their actions. Marika, lead the way. Remember to wipe the necks of these three prisoners before leading the way."

Beretta was shocked: "Wait a minute! You have released that adult...fuck! That guy's control over me, shouldn't I be spared a way to survive?"

Wang frowned.

Flint immediately exclaimed: "Did I hear you right? A black dwarf actually begged for mercy from a kind-hearted ground race!"

Wang: "He just suffered evil thoughts from Franka. He is a little kinder now than before."

The dwarf looked at his compatriots whose skin was grayer than his own: "No, no, even if they are eaten by fur, the gray dwarves will not become kind creatures, unlike Marika, who can really become a kind creature because of being eaten by fur. Gentle and lovely types are rare,”

Marika seemed to have recalled a lot of bad things and raised her forehead directly: "Don't make me think of it."

Franka asked curiously: "Can you remove the control effects on the remaining two gray dwarves? I'll eat their evil thoughts together. Then you can wipe them out."

Franka seemed to be infected by the Salvation Team's style of conduct on the first day she temporarily joined the team.

Upon hearing their request, Beretta immediately said: "I am the leader of the Blackstone Tribe. I can mobilize the entire Blackstone Tribe's troops. Do you want people to fight against the Kuo-Toa fish people? You will need us!"

The king held out three fingers to Beretta: "First, many people in your tribe are enslaved, and I have to undo the control effects on them one by one, which is very time-consuming.

"Second, we don't plan to have a head-on confrontation with 'that adult' for the time being. In fact, we are worried that once that adult finds out, we will quickly be controlled by him - just like he enslaved you.

"Third, and most importantly, my teacher told me that evil creatures are basically untrustworthy, and there is a high chance that they will go back on their word."

Franka stepped in and shouted: "Actually, I have observed that this Beretta has evil thoughts, and wants to deceive your trust before stabbing you in the back."

Wang held out a fourth finger to Beretta: "Now there is a fourth point. Our consultant has just exposed that you want to deceive trust and then attack us."

Beretta looked confused: "Consultant? What consultant?"

Wang: "Evil creatures cannot see it, but maybe when your consciousness begins to fade, that is, when you are dying, you may be able to see the light it emits, so don't worry, the most important thing is that you die as soon as possible ah."
