Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair

The Holt family had chosen a good time. If they asked for a meeting immediately after Levi and Stellan were driven away, Ron would definitely not see the guests, because compared to guests who came from afar and did not know good and evil, they would be lying down. Fungi trying to suck blood on your hands are obviously more dangerous.

"Where did you find these things?"

After expelling the Bengtsen family, Ron and Dreyfus found Gillianis, who had been locked in the laboratory for nearly half a month, and showed her the sample of the strange bacteria. Thinking that Gilennis had just glanced at him, his expression immediately changed.

"Do you know what this is?" Seeing Gilennis's reaction, Ron knew he had found the right person.

"This fungus is generally called Gibberellus - wait a minute, I'll stop the experiment at hand first." Gillianis shut down an instrument brought back from Carolina, and found another set of equipment. She also put protective spells on herself and Ron. After being fully prepared, she asked Ron to take out the samples of these fungi.

"The color of Gibberellus is reddish-brown. It can only be found in dark, warm and humid places. It usually adheres to metal, making it look like a rust stain." The moon elf stared at these things that looked like death. "A long time ago, traces of these fungi were found in the forests where elves lived. I didn't expect that they would be found here."

"Is this thing dangerous?" Drayford shrugged, "It is more fragile than ordinary fungi and will die quickly when exposed to light."

"It is very fragile, but the life born from it is not fragile." Lake Gillennis' blue eyes turned to Ron. She knew that the goblins must not be familiar with this, "Ron, you have heard of the 'Spore Man' A creature?"

"Spore people?" Ron repeated the term and shook his head, "No, I have only heard of myconids. Are spore people another name for myconids?"

"The two species are very close, but they are not the same type," Gilenis waved her hand. "Although both are fungal creatures, myconids are generally found in the dark areas, and it is difficult to find traces of them on the surface, while spores Most of the human sightings are in the dark jungles on the surface or in the ruins of the mountains."

"In addition, although the myconids will create new companions by resurrecting the corpses of other creatures, they are still mild-tempered compared to the spore people - although the latter can absorb nutrients from the soil and various organic species, they What I love most is still fresh meat, bones and blood.”

"But what does this have to do with these...gibberellins?" Dreyfuddo didn't know the blame.

"The spore people were born from these Gibberella molds!" Gilenis said sternly, "Gibber molds and their spores are highly toxic to ordinary living creatures, and the bodies killed by them will die after twenty-four hours. Spore people will be born. The bigger the corpse, the more spore people will be born!"

"Gibberella, especially those that have infected living creatures, are not easy to remove: only strong acid and light and dark abilities can be effective in direct damage. In addition, magic such as neutralizing toxins or curing diseases can also kill them. ”

"As for other methods, in addition to sunlight, salt and alcohol can also have certain effects."

"Can these be called difficult to kill?" The goblin hunter dismissed this, "This is not something that can be done casually-"

"You have to know that not everyone or all teams have as many means as you, especially those adventurers who are accustomed to working in teams of four or five." Gilenis sighed, "In order to find out these things, the elves What the heck, it’s a big price to pay.”

"Where the hell did you get all this stuff from?"

Ron told the whole incident to the elf archmage. Looking at Gilennis' eyebrows that were getting closer and closer, and combined with what she had just said, Ron knew that things might be a little difficult to deal with.

"On the other side of the mountain, in the ruins discovered by the vampire count, a huge spore man tribe may have formed," the moon elf looked at the retrieved Gibberellus samples and said slowly, "In hundreds of years, , even if there are few people there, there is enough sand to form a tower. "

"Not to mention there are a lot of wild beasts," Driver nodded, "You haven't seen it, but the wild beasts in the earldom alone have multiplied all over the mountains and plains!"

The moon elf seemed to have thought of something. She touched a brass ring on her hand, and a thick classic appeared in her hand: "Beasts are not a big problem. Let me see... Yes, In the life born of Gibberella, in addition to the spore man, there is also a fungal creature called the 'thorn beast'."

"The thorn beasts are bigger and more ferocious than the spore men, and their bodies are covered with hard thorns, but they are far less intelligent than the spore men. If the gibberellus only infects the beasts, the situation is still controllable."

"I'm afraid that there are too many spore people - Lord, did the count mention in his notes what kind of state the ruins they found were in?"

"Unfortunately, he is a layman and has no habit of detailed and systematic records at all." Ron spread his hands helplessly. "His wife, the witch, may have recorded more detailed records, but her manuscripts were probably swallowed up by Gibberella. ”

"I want to ask for your opinion: Do you think we need to pay attention to this aspect?"

The moon elf thought for a long time: "I think this is probably the so-called 'important but not urgent' work."

"The remains of ancient civilizations, plus the Earl's certainty about the source of his own power, must be related to the things behind the delusion; but these are all old news after all. The spore people's activity area is not very large, and they can't get close to this place anyway. If you don't want to delve into all this, you can just ignore it."

"But I'm afraid of variables." Ron and Gillianis said almost in unison.

"The more you know about that existence, the better. On the one hand, your ability will likely drive the devil to lean towards you, and this kind of help is definitely hard to come by. On the other hand, it will also allow you, your companions, and your subjects to prepare for it. Even if you can't compete with it, you can always leave in time and avoid ending up like Saran."

"Okay," Ron nodded, and suddenly thought of a question, "Ms. Gillianis, you were once one of the most powerful wizards in the world. Can you roughly guess from our description how powerful the last existence of this land can be?"

"It 'ate' all the undead creatures in the entire earldom with just one bite. Is such power something that mortals can achieve?"
