Chapter 1268 The Warlock's Good News and the Emerald Court Syndrome
"We hope that a small corner of the world can also bloom with its own brilliance.
"This is why the Spore Society exists."
Will's eyes were moved after hearing this. It seemed that he had deeply memorized this passage.
Matthew couldn't help but whisper into Hussman's ear,
"Why didn't you tell me this when I joined last time?"
Hussman replied in his mind, a little embarrassed,
"This was something Dudley and I came up with recently. We're not good at expressing ourselves, so we asked the bard who stayed in your forest a while ago to polish the words.
"He really has literary talent!"
Hussman's tone was full of envy and admiration.
Bard?
Matthew was slightly stunned.
Lorraine wouldn't help people polish it for free, would he?
What benefits did this guy receive from Hussman?
He was about to ask for more details, but Dudley had already called them out to eat grilled mushrooms.
During the barbecue.
The Kobold Will took the initiative to tell his story.
" A long time ago, I was just an ordinary kobold. I lived every day in a daze.
" At that time, I didn't have so many worries. My biggest dream was to have a spacious and warm independent cave and two or three wives who could work and give birth.
" My tribe and I live in the depths of the Underdark, north of Sulfur City. There is a huge rift valley there, and the mouth of the valley is next to the gap of three ring-shaped underground volcanoes, so the climate is still warm.
"It's funny. At that time, I was only the lowest-level scavenger in the tribe. My daily job was to pick mushrooms for the strong people in the tribe, mainly kobold mushrooms.
" I'm not strong. If nothing unexpected happens, I might become food for other underground creatures or even other Kobolds in the tribe during a season of food shortage.
"But in the Underdark, accidents are the norm.
" A Purgatory Viper crawled out of the crater and attacked all the underground settlements in the north of Sulfur City, including our tribe.
" That viper seems to be provoking someone in Sulfur City. When he was wandering outside the city, he didn't kill us immediately. He only sealed the Great Rift Valley with an endless poisonous fog.
" The poisonous fog has enveloped everything. Living beings are dying in torment.
" Almost everyone in the tribe suffered in the poisonous fog, and I was no exception. But what can a kobold do against a powerful Purgatory Viper?
"I can't do anything.
"I could only hide in the cave where the mushrooms were stored and wait for my death.
"Soon, my skin began to fester, half of my teeth fell out, and all kinds of blood blisters grew on the corner of my mouth. I felt that I didn't have long to live.
"But just as I was in a daze, I suddenly heard a voice. It told me to eat it quickly. Only then could I save my life.
" I opened my eyes and realized that it was the mushroom I picked earlier!
" It turned into a little person and jumped around on my arm, begging me to eat it.
" To be honest, I still can't tell if that scene was my hallucination. It was many years later that I learned that the poison of the Purgatory Viper can cause mental disorders.
"At that time, I was confused and filled with panic. I felt that I was not far from death.
"Since I was going to die anyway, why not eat a little more before I died?
" With this thought in mind, I wanted to eat that mushroom, but I realized that I didn't have the strength to reach out!
" At this moment, I saw a very beautiful female kobold. She had triangular buttocks and a pointed head. She was extremely beautiful. In short, every inch of her body was pleasing to my taste!
"I watched as she plucked the jumping mushroom from my arm, bit it, and sent it into my mouth.
" At that moment, my heart was filled with happiness.
"Then, I fell into a deep sleep.
" When I woke up, I found that the poisonous fog had dispersed. I was still alive, but my body was covered in mushrooms. However, my clansmen were all dead.
" Since then, I've awakened the bloodline of the Golden Dragon and mastered some abilities that ordinary people can't understand, such as these strange clones.
" With the help of the mushrooms, my strength improved by leaps and bounds. But in the dead of night, I was sometimes confused and sometimes terrified.
"Who am I now?
" I can't be the original Will. It's impossible for a Kobold to have such a clear mind.
"I don't look like a normal mushroom either. What kind of mushroom can walk and cast spells?
"It's even more impossible for me to be a true dragon. Although the true dragon bloodline in my body is getting stronger and stronger…
" I still can't confirm my identity, but I still have a glimmer of hope in my heart. I'm still the kobold Will, but I'm a little different because of some fortuitous encounters.
" However, this hope was quickly shattered.
"At this point."
Find adventures on empire
Will sighed deeply.
Matthew asked curiously,
"How was it destroyed?"
Will explained,
" I went to the most famous brothel in Sulfur City. There are many beautiful Kobold women there.
"But I only went in for three minutes and came out.
"It is because I have despairingly discovered that I no longer have any interest in them…"
