Angel was unaware of the external chaos, as he was currently observing a pure white mushroom with a peculiar gaze.
Having moved in front of the mushroom, as he had speculated, there was no life on the front of the mushroom; indeed, the mushroom itself was speaking.
The mushroom split open a long crack, temporarily referred to as a ‘mouth,’ from which all previous singing and conversation emanated.
Angel had seen several types of mushroom orifices before, but this one was the strangest. Instead of teeth in its mouth, there were hanging fungal filaments, coiled like musical notes, trembling with the changes in tone.
As Angel carefully studied the mushroom, its conversational tone suddenly shifted.
“Disaster, he’s here!” This was a shout, mixing the previous ethereal female voice with a hoarse one. The two voices that had been conversing suddenly cried out together.
When this jarring shout ended, the large white mushroom closed its mouth and became silent.
Angel was baffled by this series of actions: What’s going on? “He’s here,” doesn’t mean me, does it?
“Ah, the Sonic Mushroom has finally stopped, and now I can speak.” While Angel was puzzled about what was happening, the previously silent Mushroom Forum suddenly resumed its discussions.
“It must be shyness. Being watched by the noble Highness Shava, I’d be embarrassed too.”
“It’s not just shyness. The Sonic Mushroom on the other side has also gone quiet, so naturally this one stopped too. But Highness Shava’s arrival is surely the biggest reason!”
This was followed by a series of praises for Shava. From these conversations, Angel began to understand what had happened before.
This pure white mushroom is named a Sonic Mushroom. Its demonstrated ability is somewhat similar to a “telephone,” capable of transmitting sounds near the parent Sonic Mushroom to its offspring, and vice versa, the offspring can connect back to the parent.
This white mushroom is an offspring of a Sonic Mushroom.
Next, as Angel continues his journey, he discovers numerous offspring of the Sonic Mushroom, though none of them speak again.
During his journey, Angel ponders over a matter: now that he knows the capabilities of the Sonic Mushroom, the voices he heard earlier must have been near the parent Sonic Mushroom, engaging in a conversation.
Who could be conversing?
Angel recalls that when the Sonic Mushroom began “speaking,” all the other mushrooms ceased their exchanges in the mushroom forum, only daring to speak again after the Sonic Mushroom fell silent.
These mushrooms clearly do not fear the Sonic Mushroom itself but rather the life form conversing through it.
Given that Bee Blair is also a sentient being, yet the mushrooms show no fear of it, even wishing to complain, Angel deduces that the feared entity is likely the owner of the Doreen Flower Garden——Mademoiselle Goldilocks.
Moreover, the parent body of the Sonic Mushroom wouldn’t be casually planted; perhaps it’s in the castle of Mademoiselle Goldilocks. Through the Sonic Mushroom, she could issue various commands to all the mushrooms in the garden.
While Angel ponders, his gaze falls upon another Sonic Mushroom.
He thought this Sonic Mushroom would be like the others, silent. But unexpectedly, just as Angel passes by, a voice transmits:
“Praise the Moonlight, praise the Queen, praise Shava!”
The voice is rough, hoarse, and raspy. Angel recognizes it as the same voice that conversed with the female voice earlier.
From the sound of the voice alone, Angel conjured up an image of an old man who had smoked all his life, his throat already choked by smoke, combined with his naturally old voice, it gave an illusion of a saw cutting through wood.
Angel was not startled by the sudden voice, instead, he turned his head towards the Sonic Mushroom: “State your name.”
The Sonic Mushroom suddenly closed its mouth and stopped speaking.
Angel’s expression was neutral, but he began to doubt internally. Was his portrayal of Shava unconvincing? Or was it that the identity of the other party should not be addressed with such a ‘commanding’ attitude?
Angel did not know what was happening, but he could not possibly stay there waiting for the other to speak. Since he speculated that the speaking creature was most likely in Mademoiselle Goldilocks’ castle, he would naturally find out the situation upon arrival.
With this thought, Angel turned around and continued to fly forward.
Once Angel’s figure had completely vanished, and the surroundings fell silent, the Sonic Mushroom suddenly opened its long mouthpiece again: “Oh no, it seems like he is really angry.”
This time, a soft feminine voice came out, followed shortly by a rough, hoarse male voice responding: “I’ve heard from Lord Nooka before, that Highness Shava always speaks in a cool tone, you shouldn’t worry too much.”
“But I’m still a bit scared… Oh well, I’ll continue practicing my song, ‘Tearing Moonlight’ then…”
“I’ve told you, it has nothing to do with the Moonlight!”
The voices gradually faded away until they completely disappeared.
Unaware of this little interlude, Angel continued to fly towards his destination. After flying at a low altitude near the ground for about five minutes, Angel saw a small hill that resembled a ‘volcano’.
The reason for the resemblance was that Angel did not sense any fire elemental energy. About thirty meters ahead was a hill, calling it a hill might even be an overstatement, it was more like a mound of earth. The top of this mound was cut off directly, making it look like a ‘volcano’.
Angel noticed the small mound not just because of its unique topography, but also because of the faint light at the top of the mound, at the position of the ‘volcano crater’.
These lights, like a hat made of white light, covered the top of the mound.
This unusual phenomenon immediately attracted Angel’s gaze.
Angel hesitated for a moment, then slowly descended to the ground, following the undulating lines of the mound, slowly climbing towards the top of the mound.
Even though Angel walked cautiously and slowly, it still took about a minute to reach the top of the mound.
Standing on the edge, Angel looked inside and his pupils suddenly shrank.
The center of the small mound was concave!
The white light seen before was not at the mountain top, but in the concave area of the mound!
And the source of the light was a castle!
…
The concave area of the small mound was incredibly large. It was like a small garden within the Doreen Flower Garden, planted with a variety of bizarre mushrooms.
The strangeness of these mushrooms was visible to the naked eye: white mist intertwining, green mist rising, light mist pervading, rainbow colors floating…
However, these were not the most important. The most crucial was the huge castle at the very center of these mushrooms.
