Chapter 1421 Sixty-three. Reactivate the Alchemy Tower
Dark park.
An incomprehensible darkness enveloped this lightless land.
Lu Li was entertained by the Tree Whisperer and the humanity they carried - they invited Lu Li into the park, even with the light source.
Swamp Mother walked into the dark park with the banyan tree guards and Lu Li, both of whom were plants. She stepped on the moss-like soft carpet, walked past the gorgeous poisonous mushrooms sprouting from the moss, and saw the true form of the ethnic group living here——
They range in size from one meter to two meters, with white mushroom stems under brightly colored umbrellas and plaque-like compound eyes, just like the naive mushroom figures in fairy tales.
The Mother of Swamps overlooks the raised cysts of the canopy.
There's a reason why these seemingly harmless mushroom people have taken up residence in the northern part of Midnight City.
The moss and mushrooms around Lu Li grew faster. The mushroom people wanted to get close to Lu Li, but they kept a distance because they were afraid of the mother of the swamp.
Then, they invited Lu Li to a banquet—as expected, a banquet consisting of mushroom soup, grilled mushrooms, and other mushroom products.
Lu Li did not eat these brightly colored mushrooms and listened quietly to the conversation between the Swamp Mother and the "King of Mushrooms" - an old and huge mushroom man that was similar in size to the Swamp Mother.
In addition to the initial rhetoric of "finding a suitable habitat for them before agreeing to form an alliance," the "King of Mushrooms" said that if Lu Li is willing to become a farmer to take care of them, he can also form an alliance.
“What kind of habitat do you want?”
Lu Li and Swamp Mother unanimously ignored the latter.
Becoming a farmer and tending to mushrooms can bring true allies like plant habitats, but they are short on time.
The mushroom man swayed, and there was a rattling sound in the umbrella sac.
"Moist, dark, vast, rivers, fertile land, undisturbed and more plants!" The elder sister on her shoulders raised her hands and shouted to translate.
Promising to find a habitat for them, they left the Dark Park.
Swamp Mother thought: "It's difficult for us to find a suitable habitat... Lu Li, do you have any ideas?"
Lu Li broke away from the same contemplation: "The Eternal Forest perfectly meets their requirements."
"But I remember that you deceived the Eternal Forest."
"It's no longer cheating."
…
The river's estuary meets the sea water in the bay.
The mixed sea water is pushed by the ocean currents from the deep sea and hits the promontory with two silhouettes standing on it.
The endless sea of trees stretches toward the land. The businessman Anthony stayed on the promontory, while Lu Li carried an oil lamp and set foot on the Broken Swamp alone.
Lush branches and leaves covered the sky, darkness shrouded the forest like night, and there was silence all around.
But as Lu Li stepped in, a mysterious and hostile atmosphere was awakening.
The Eternal Forest remembers the villain who deceived its only inhabitants.
Lu Li raised the oil lamp, its tiny halo enveloped by the majestic darkness, and spoke to the eternal forest in front of him: "I'm here to keep my promise and bring residents to this forest."
Bizarre dreams filled the surroundings, and the image of the mushroom people appeared next to Lu Li.
"Their population is about two hundred to three hundred. They like darkness and humidity, and love nature and life. They will be the best residents."
The overwhelming hostility faded away because of Lu Li's words and the new sprouts at Lu Li's feet.
"But I'm having trouble bringing them back."
Lu Li briefly described the situation in Midnight City. Sincerity is the best weapon, so he did not lie, but concealed part of the truth: "The swamp is threatening their habitat, and we must solve the swamp before we can bring them here."
There was no response from the silent forest, so Lu Li took out the devil's contract, signed his name on the contract with only loose terms, and then threw the contract into the darkness.
The silence continued, and as young wildflowers bloomed around Lu Li, a phosphorus fire suddenly burned in the air.
The devil's contract has almost no binding force on both parties, but it can be used as a ritual to witness cooperation.
The Eternal Forest is not much weaker than the three forbidden areas...even if it only provides meager help, it is better than many allies.
"We need your help."
Lu Li said to the Eternal Forest.
The eternal forest returns silence.
Lu Li waited quietly. At a certain moment, he lowered his eyes. The young flowers at his feet trembled and shook off dewdrops, and the forest could hear the rustling of the treetops. The broken swamp pond behind him created chaotic ripples——
The dark trees like stone pillars rose higher and higher, pulling out the roots buried deep in the ground, moving, shaking the fallen leaves, and trembling the earth, forming a high wall in front of Lu Li.
Lu Li took them to the headland and said to the businessman Anthony: "Let Chris come over to check whether they can pass... No need, I'll go directly."
Leaving the merchant in the Eternal Forest, Lu Li returned to the castle and told the Swamp Mother and others the results.
"So you're playing both ways, playing with the emotions of a noble boy and playing with the Eternal Forest and the Mushroom Man?"
What is strange is that such a long and difficult sentence is not difficult for Claire's brain the size of a fingernail.
"Don't rush to prepare the banquet, we still don't have the confidence to fight against the swamp..." The mother of the swamp cooled down the restless mood.
Chrissy had already headed to the Eternal Forest, while Lu Li looked at the three alchemy towers standing in the distance, thoughtfully.
"what's on your mind?"
The Swamp Mother's inquiry came from behind.
"The three alchemy towers should not be left in the dust."
"But the key was lost a long time ago," Claire said.
"Can't you make a new key?"
"It's possible, but the key is in the alchemy tower. We have to go in first to get the key."
It sounds like an endless loop.
You have to enter the alchemy tower to get the key, and you have to get the key to enter the alchemy tower.
"And the key is not that easy to make..." Claire lingered over everyone's heads, "We have to waste almost all the resources of the Land of Light on the key, and all we get is an alchemy tower that can be used once."
"After solving the swamp, I can move the alchemy tower back..."
"But the Land of Light doesn't need so many alchemy towers."
"The Allen Peninsula is needed." The Swamp Mother thought more, "With the Allen Peninsula under her control, we can counterattack the Main Continent."
They finalized a plan to reactivate the Alchemy Tower - perhaps the Alchemy Tower would be more effective in the swamp than its allies.
Today's loose alliance is like a sand sculpture on an exposed beach after low tide, needing to be mixed with rocks to make the sand solid and silt to bind it.
"Leave the activation of the Alchemy Tower to the Land of Light, and leave it to us to win over the allies of Midnight City..." Swamp Mother divided the work for the next step.
"Then what does Lu Li do?" Claire asked.
Swamp Mother looked at Lu Li tenderly: "Would you like to go back to Agate Lake to rest? Annie misses you very much."
Lu Li shook his head: "In addition to the swamp, there are two forbidden areas."
Claire was so frightened that she exploded her wings: "You want to deal with them too!?"
