Both Ray and Dorcas's words drew everyone's attention. Even the Black Count was probing Wa Yi's condition through their bloodline connection.
Angor calmly pulled back his hand.
"They … they're still there," Ray said. The larvae inside his body didn't dare to move, as if they knew that their natural predator was still nearby and didn't want to be careless.
Dorcas, who was lucky enough to meet Chacha before, was already used to Angor's miraculous methods. "What do you think? As Master Mushroom, you must have a way to get rid of the mycelium, right?"
"Call me Master Mushroom one more time, and I'll give you your tavern as compensation to the Light Shrine. Of course, your tavern isn't worth as much as the Light Shrine, so it's only the first payment. "
Angor glanced at Dorcas as he spoke.
Angor's tone was calm, but Dorcas could tell that he was telling the truth. Angor was going to use his precious tavern as compensation for the Light Shrine?!
Damn you! You're threatening me!
Dorcas cursed in his mind, but he still managed to keep a smile on his face. "I'm just kidding. Don't look at me like that. There won't be a next time, I promise!"
Dorcas gave up. As for the reason —
Angor's words were harsh, but he was right. The Cross Tavern was important to Dorcas, but it was worthless to Angor. It was nothing compared to the Light Shrine.
Angor only included the tavern because he wanted to annoy Dorcas.
Dorcas didn't want to lose the Cross Tavern over such a small matter, so when it was time to admit defeat, he would still follow his heart.
Of course, Angor knew what Dorcas was thinking. But since Dorcas didn't express it, Angor would just pretend he didn't notice it.
"How do I get rid of the mycelium inside him? You can do it now. "Angor changed the topic.
Dorcas paused for a moment. "You still need to pick them out one by one?"
Angor nodded.
Dorcas asked, "Is there no other faster way? For example, drink a potion, and they'll all come out. "
Wa Yi asked weakly, "Why do you have to use vomit?"
Dorcas glared at him in annoyance. "Don't tell me you want to pull it?"
Wa Yi's expression changed and he didn't say anything.
"That's the fastest way, and the one that won't hurt his body. Of course, there was a faster way, but it would probably cause a loss of blood and qi. As for how long it would take to recover, half a month? One month? Or even longer? "
Dorcas still wanted to say something, but Wai quickly stopped him. "That's enough. They're not moving now, so it's much easier to remove them."
As he spoke, Wa Yi forced out more than ten strands of mycelial larvae. Of course, he didn't spit them out. Instead, Wa Yi opened a small hole in his petrified skin, allowing the mycelial larvae to fall out of his body.
For the first time, it was so smooth to force the mycelium larvae out of the body. Although the number was not much, it was so easy and smooth that he thought he was dreaming.
Most importantly, it didn't itch at all, nor did it hurt at all.
When he pulled the mycelial larvae out of his body, it hurt a lot. Also, the larvae seemed to realize that they were about to be pulled out of his body and swam faster, which made Wa Yi itch even more.
Now, he could easily force out a bunch of them without feeling anything. This was like heaven and earth!
After tasting the sweetness, Wa Yi sat down on the ground and closed his eyes to focus on forcing the mycelial larvae out of his body.
At first, there were only a dozen or so of them. But as time went on, more and more of them fell out. Dozens or even hundreds of them fell out of his body.
However, these larvae were very small. Even if there were hundreds of them, they would only look like a small puff of dog fur.
Compared to the tens of thousands of larvae inside his body, they were not worth mentioning.
However, Wa Yi was very motivated. At this rate, he would be able to remove all the mycelial larvae in his body in about a day. This was much faster than before.
After Wa Yi got into the zone, he ignored Dorcas who was still standing there in a daze and continued his discussion with Kael.
The more Kael listened, the more surprised he became. He felt as if his soul was being pulled out of his body and placed in a dream. What Angor said was simply too imaginative … or rather, too ridiculous.
Could he really do it?
Before Kael could fully comprehend Angor's words, the Ruler of Wisdom in the air announced that it was time for the duelists to enter the arena.
Kael was pushed onto the stage in a daze.
Again, they would go first, while the gray merchant's group would come later. But it didn't matter now. Kael was the only one who could go on the stage. The opponents must have already figured out their strategy and who would be fighting.
The order of the duelists didn't matter.
Kael's first opponent was Fen Mo.
The opponents saw Angor discussing tactics with Kael and guessed that Angor was an Illusionist. Yet they still sent Fen Mo, an Illusionist apprentice, to test Kael's strength using Ghost Shadow again.
Repeating this tactic over and over again would make the audience tired, but it wasn't a bad idea.
Since Wa Yi couldn't go on stage, Kael would be their only opponent. They had three Illusionist apprentices on their side. One could test Kael's strength, one could wear him down, and the last one could attack.
It was the best arrangement they could make. But it was highly likely that they wouldn't even need to use brute force. They could simply test Kael's strength and wear him down.
In their eyes, Kael was too weak to fight against an Illusionist apprentice.
What they didn't notice was that Kael sighed in relief when he saw that Fen Mo was his opponent. Among all the strategies Angor told him about, Fen Mo was the easiest one. In Kael's opinion, Fen Mo was the easiest one. Angor was an Illusionist himself, so he didn't need to use "fancy" tricks.
While Kael was rejoicing, the Wise Ruler's voice, "The duel has begun." Together with the dome, it descended upon the arena.
The duel had officially begun.
…
The duel between Kael and Fen Mo was still going on.
Angor was also watching Kael's performance when the "private channel" was suddenly activated again.
Angor didn't show any reaction. He kept his eyes on the stage while speaking in his mind. "Mister Dark Earl."
Only Dark Earl and the Ruler of Wisdom could use such a private channel. Since the Ruler of Wisdom was in the center of the stage, anyone who used Spirit Bond would be able to sense it even if they couldn't see through it. Therefore, it was obvious that the one who contacted him was the Black Earl.
Angor wasn't surprised that Count Dark contacted him all of a sudden.
Dark Earl and Wa Yi were basically "one entity". Dark Earl must know what Angor did inside Wa Yi's body.
When Angor placed his hand on Wa Yi's body, Dark Earl deliberately turned around and "stared" at Angor with his nostrils. Angor knew that Dark Earl would come looking for him.
And he was right. "What's that mushroom?" The first thing Dark Earl asked Angor was this.
The others probably didn't know what he did. Even Wai probably didn't know what Angor did. But Dark Earl did.
Yes, it was a mushroom.
Angor left a mushroom inside Wa Yi's body.
It was also this mushroom that made the Black Earl feel puzzled. If it was just an ordinary mushroom, Dark Earl wouldn't mind. Maybe it was Angor's way of healing. But Dark Earl didn't expect the mushroom to be so special.
It was as if it was alive, jumping back and forth in Wa Yi's body, as if Wa Yi's flesh and blood were the mountains and rivers that it had conquered, patrolling its territory back and forth.
In the beginning, when the Black Earl noticed it, he thought that it was a mutated form of the mycelium. Later, through the trembling movements of the mycelium larvae when it was "patrolling", he confirmed that this mushroom was the real culprit that the mycelium larvae did not dare to move.
Count Dark finally noticed Angor's presence. Without a doubt, Angor was the one who created the mushroom.
Dark Earl was surprised, but he didn't ask Angor about it. He already told Dark Earl that he wouldn't ask about Angor's strange behavior in the underground sewer.
However, the Dark Earl's thoughts quickly changed. The mushroom seemed to have noticed his gaze.
Dark Earl's guess was that the mushroom would stop moving as soon as he looked at it. But when Dark Earl looked away, the mushroom would continue to patrol its territory.
It was surprising that the mushroom could detect Dark Earl's gaze from inside Wa Yi's body. The Black Count was observing the mushroom through their bloodline connection, but the mushroom was able to detect the Black Count's gaze through such a complicated and distant chain of logic.
Previously, Black Earl only felt that the mushroom was "like" a living creature. But now, Black Earl increasingly felt that it might be a living creature.
But very soon, the Dark Earl's thoughts were slapped in the face.
It was Wa Yi who did it.
When Dark Earl tried to tell Wa Yi to control the mushroom, Wa Yi responded with a puzzled look, "What mushroom?"
Dark Earl finally noticed that Wa Yi was only shocked about why his larvae suddenly stopped moving. He didn't know that there was a small, green-spotted mushroom inside him.
Wa Yi followed Dark Earl's order and did not find the mushroom either.
It was as if the mushroom was in a half-real, half-illusory state.
Count Dark was now really curious about the strange mushroom. While no one was paying attention to him, Count Dark sent a private message to Angor.
"As expected of Mister Dark Earl. I tried so hard to hide it, but you still noticed it," Angor complimented.
Black Earl: "At times like this, I hope you can learn from your mentor. No matter what the situation is, don't talk nonsense. Go straight to the point."
Angor didn't know what to say.
"What do you want to know, Mister Dark Earl? Do you want to know what the mushroom will do to Wa Yi? Or do you want to know where the mushroom came from?"
"Both. You can tell me as you see fit," Dark Earl replied.
In other words, Dark Earl meant that Angor was free to hide anything from him, and he wouldn't force him.
This was in line with Dark Earl's promise.
Angor considered for a moment. "The mushroom won't do anything to Wa Yi. It'll disappear on its own once the poison inside his body is removed."
Regarding this, the Black Earl had no objections. He didn't believe that the mushroom could harm Wa Yi at all. Otherwise, he would have stopped Angor from doing so already.
Based on his observation of Angor, Dark Earl knew that Angor wasn't a bloodthirsty man who would attack Wa Yi for no reason. Besides, Dark Earl was right next to Angor.
Black Earl: "What else?"
"As for where the mushroom came from … Mister Dark Earl, you should know that it's just an illusion, right?"
Dark Earl didn't say anything this time. He did feel that the mushroom was both real and illusory, but it looked too much like a living creature. Dark Earl didn't know whether it was an illusion or not.
Now, Angor's words confirmed that the mushroom was just an illusion.
"The mushroom itself seems to be able to suppress fungus creatures that aren't as strong as it is. Just like a wizard's aura.
"Based on this point, I used a special illusion technique to create an illusion of it and infused it with the true meaning of the mushroom to achieve the effect of passing off as the real thing. That's why the mushroom larvae inside Wa Yi's body were restrained. "
The illusion Angor mentioned sounded like a real illusion to Dark Earl. But an illusion created by a real illusion could sense his gaze? The illusion did what only a living creature could do, which was different from a real illusion.
Regarding this, the Black Earl was very confused and wanted to ask about it.
But when he described the illusion, he mentioned that it was a "special illusion".
If it wasn't special, Angor would have told him its name and type. Since Angor didn't want to tell Dark Earl the truth, it meant that he didn't want to reveal the truth.
Even if Dark Earl kept asking, Angor would only answer, albeit unwillingly.
Dark Earl was surprised, but he didn't want to create a rift between him and Angor over such a trivial matter.
Instead of asking about the illusion, Dark Earl went straight to the mushroom's body.
"The mushroom can move around? What kind of mushroom is it? Did Regina grow it? "
"The mushroom's body is called Mystic. As for what kind of mushroom it is, where it came from, and what it can do … I think you should ask Mister Rein for more details. "
What Angor did was to create an illusion of Mystic.
He already learned from Regina's research that Mystique was a living fungus that could suppress its own kind, especially those that were parasites.
Mystic itself was also a parasite. Perhaps it was for the sake of seizing the host that Bewitching Ying gave birth to such a wonderful pressure.
When Angor learned about the mushroom larvae inside Wa Yi's body, the first thing he thought of was to use Mystic to suppress them. However, Mystic's body couldn't be exposed. Besides, Regina was still studying it, so Angor decided to use a nightmare illusion to create an illusion of Mystic.
Angor purposely used his right hand to touch the mushroom larvae inside Wa Yi's body so that it would be easier for him to use the illusion.
Just as he expected, it worked perfectly.
However, he didn't expect it to be so effective that even the Black Earl started to take notice of it.
"Mystic? I've never heard of that name before, "Dark Earl said," You mentioned Rein. Is he related to Mystic? "
Angor nodded. "Yes. So you should ask Mister Rein about it. I don't think it's appropriate for me to tell you. "
Dark Earl considered for a moment and agreed with Angor's explanation.
Angor couldn't possibly lie to "Rein", so the strange mushroom really did have something to do with Rein.
Since that was the case, Dark Earl didn't need to trouble Angor.
After the matter here was over, he could ask Rhine about it when he had time.
