The Heavens: Hogwarts Transfer Students
Chapter 563 Two shops, a king in trouble
There are more than just myconids in the Myconi Circle, because it is a natural shelter, so passers-by will rest here, and people in distress will take shelter here.
Linde and the others found two vendors in the ring, as well as a short, fat mushroom king who had lost the ring.
Let’s talk about the vendors first. The owner of one of them is a hobgoblin.
The intelligence level of the hobgoblin is quite good, equal to that of ordinary people, and even smarter than the Yankee girl (the hobgoblin has 10 intelligences, while the Yankee girl has 8, which is amazing).
However, it is quite rare for hobgoblins to appear in the Underdark. From the conversation, we learned that this person is a member of the so-called "Glory Society" and comes underground to observe and collect these fascinating fungi.
Lind knew that this guy had a companion, which was even more unusual - the mind flayer Omeron.
It's not that mind flayers are unusual. The Underdark is actually rich in such monsters. What's unusual is that this Omiron is a lone mind flayer, and he is not accepted by the mastermind.
The reason is probably that Omiron is a born mentally retarded member of the mind flayer group. His intelligence attributes are lower than those of his companions, so he is not accepted by the mastermind. IQ discrimination is really ubiquitous these days.
But even though Omiron is a mentally retarded child among mind flayers, it does not mean that he is not smart. He is much smarter than most creatures.
Omiron is considered a good mind flayer. The difference between good and bad is that he does not regard creatures other than himself as slaves and food, and can treat them as equals.
Linde told the hobgoblin vendor about his group's experiences, what about the shell ship, the mind flayer in his mind, the Supreme God and the True Soul...
Such a topic surprised the hobgoblin, so he took the initiative to introduce Omiron and share interesting stories with the real mind flayer.
The Yankee girl was extremely excited after seeing the Mind Flayer. She took out the Sword of Justice and was about to kill the brain-eating bastard.
Fortunately, she still listened to Linde and was persuaded to continue.
Even so, she was still extremely aggrieved, like a lioness with exploded hair, who might roar and pounce on Omilon at any time.
Lind and Omeron discuss the secret knowledge of the mind flayer community.
"Mind flayers usually have four tentacles growing on the edges of their mouths. I have also heard of a super mind flayer with six tentacles."
Omilon said: [Yes, there are indeed, they are very terrifying elders. Often the supreme ruler of a mind flayer city. 】
"Is the Super Mind Flayer capable of cultivating a mastermind?"
[This...] Omilon's mental communication was interrupted for a while, as if he was sweating over Lind's sharp question.
Linde smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter. This question is a bit presumptuous after all."
Gale couldn't help but speak: "I couldn't help but notice that there is a mind flayer in front of us... an illithid. Maybe he can help us solve the little trouble in our heads?"
"Maybe it can, maybe it can't. But the final result is that it can't... You can let him try." Lind gave Gale the opportunity to make a fool of himself.
The magic hero of Waterdeep City swallowed his saliva, stood in front of Omilon, and allowed him to use his psychic powers to communicate with the mind flayer tadpoles in his brain.
[Interesting, it seems to be protected by a powerful magic... Please bear with it... No, ah! 】
After experiencing a severe headache and nausea reflex, the mind flayer tadpole burst out with resistance and knocked Omiron, the adult mind flayer, away.
Linde complained: "This is the first time I've seen an adult defeated by a tadpole."
The compatriots smiled and agreed, "Yes."
Omiron is not angry, the mind flayers are all so cold and rational, that's what the humorous insulator is talking about.
In short, he just reconfirmed a fact that Lind had already known. The mind flayer tadpole was attached with a powerful magic. Once the magic effect was removed, the infected person would be transformed in an instant.
This bad news made the companions of the adventure team feel even worse.
Omilon's orange eyes flashed slightly, and he proposed a treatment plan. As long as the members of the adventure team found the active ingredients of two dangerous mushrooms, he could prepare an alchemical potion, which might be able to treat the mind flayer tadpoles.
Those two kinds of mushrooms are the Tongue of Madness and the Ghost-headed Mushroom. The latter just caused the adventure team to almost be wiped out. The former is no less dangerous than the latter.
"Great, then where should we find these two materials?" Gale blinked his blue eyes.
"Hmm... I remember that there was an arcane tower in the southwest. A Mystra priest named Lenore was studying these two mushrooms," the hobgoblin merchant said. "That tower has been abandoned for a long time. La, you can go look for it, you might find something useful."
Linde was not very interested in the proposal.
The only magical item in the arcane tower that he valued was the hill giant's rod of strength, but other than that, he needed to break through a bunch of magic forts and negotiate with a bunch of mechanical guards, and he didn't get paladin experience. You can't get magic contract experience either.
He said perfunctorily: "Okay, if we are free, we will definitely bring the things back."
Omilon nodded with satisfaction, and the hobgoblin could clearly hear Lind's absence. He blinked and asked, "Do you want to buy something?"
"No." Linde waved his hand, showing a poor but polite smile.
He did not choose to sell the magic contract spear. This kind of trick should not be used to deceive serious businessmen. He was also worried that Ms. Waking would say bad things behind his back because he ruined the trade.
The second store in the circle is run by a dwarf woman. Her "incompetent and stupid" husband went out to find a rare mushroom, but unfortunately he never came back.
So Driss Bonetop asked Lind, "Have you ever seen a dwarf named Barron?"
"Is someone missing? Don't worry, leave it to me. I will bring him back."
Linde had an upright smile on his face. Saving people was one of his favorite jobs.
Driss Bonepan looked at the giggling Paladin in shock, shook her head, and asked, "Do you want to trade? I sell mushrooms and potions here."
"Well, you can buy more mushrooms. Sir Fuzelump will be busy next." Linde made a large purchase, which made the mushroom merchant smile from ear to ear.
"Okay guys, there's work to do."
"Lind, dear, no offense, but I noticed that you always seem to waste your time paying attention to boring people and things?" Asdalen asked sweetly.
"You can also choose to stay in the camp temporarily." Linde shrugged. "I also think there are too many people in the team. Four people at one time is enough."
"What? No, that's too scary, dear, just think I'm joking." Asdalen shook his head hastily.
"Thank you for your understanding." Lin De nodded.
While they were chatting here, a short, fat, red-skinned mushroom king came over.
This is the wandering king who lost his circle, the Myconid King Glat.
The reason why it found Linde was simple. It hoped that he could get rid of the group of gray dwarves who destroyed its homeland. It had the same goal as the mushroom man Wang Sibo. The difference was that the fat mushroom king was willing to join the team and provide his own help.
[Fleshwalker, tongue-speaker, son of the sun, you have come a long way. ] The melody of the Fat Fungus King is moist and smells of rot, [Tell me, where is your home? 】
The Myconid King's thoughts spread like mycelium towards the depths of Linde's memory.
Lind mobilized his memory and showed it the medicine shop he ran in Waterdeep City.
——The herbal soup is boiling in the crucible, and the smell is weird and pungent. The patient is moaning weakly on the bed, and the smell of blood from the wound is permeated. Among all the scenes of blood and thorns, there is a red-haired girl sitting quietly. Behind the counter, he introduced medicines to visiting customers and patients, and would give Linde a warm kiss when he passed by. (End of chapter)
