Chapter 2069 Nooka's Purpose <TOC> Chapter 2071 Minister of Arms

Angel did not directly refuse, which actually was good news for Nooka.
Given Shava’s prestigious status, if he really disagreed, he would have outright refused. Since there was some leeway left, it at least meant that Shava was quite likely inclined to participate in the banquet.
As for how to turn this ‘inclination’ into reality, Nooka felt that this might be the test Shava had set for him.
Perhaps, if he performed well, Shava would agree.
And how to perform, where to start? Naturally, it started from the current banquet.
Thinking this, Nooka’s small eyes squinted into crescent moons, and he said to Angel, “As Highness Shava said, it’s too early to propose a plan now, changes could come at any time.”
Angel: “…” Did I say that?
“Well then, we’ll see how things go when the time comes.” Nooka nodded at Angel and then raised his cup filled with crimson liquid, toasting Angel from afar.
Angel didn’t know what Nooka was really thinking, but according to dining etiquette, he also picked up his cup in return. The wine he drank naturally did not reach his stomach but was enveloped with the aura of the Nightmare Domain and dragged into it.
During the banquet, Nooka did not bring up asking for Angel’s help again, nor did he raise any questions that would embarrass Angel or leave him unable to answer. Instead, he answered every question Angel asked.
Even, regarding what Angel sought, he showed extreme eagerness. Nooka had learned from Book Mad that Angel seemed interested in Sonic Mushrooms and immediately sent a little mouse to arrange all the Sonic Mushrooms from the mushroom garden for Angel.
Angel helplessly raised his bracelet, which was currently sticking with a white mushroom, like an ornament, the Sonic Mushroom given to him by Book Mad earlier.
Angel’s action was to show Nooka that he already had it and there was no need to get more Sonic Mushrooms. Since Sonic Mushrooms could multiply from their mushrooms, their current number was not important.
Moreover, Angel’s interest in Sonic Mushrooms was quite limited. Without the Wilderness of Dreams, the Sonic Mushrooms’ effectiveness was quite good, but with the Wilderness of Dreams, their functionality would be greatly reduced.
After being refused by Angel, Nooka then noticed that both Angel’s bracelet and heel had mushroom “ornaments”, among which the three emerald green mushrooms on his heel were the Mystlight, cultivated by Nooka himself.
Nooka’s eyes lit up: So, does Highness Shava like mushrooms?
With a wave of his hand, Nooka cleared the table, pushing aside the plate people, cup people, and candlestick people. The now empty table was adorned with over twenty different kinds of button mushrooms.
These mushroom buttons appeared very affectionate towards Angel, just like the Mystlight buttons, naturally yearning for the aura of the Nightmare Plane that Angel emitted. Because compared to the half-plane aura of the Nightmare Plane, the green rune on Angel’s right hand emitted a more pure and rich aura.
If it weren’t for the interference of the spotted puppy, these mushroom buttons would probably all stick to Angel, becoming like hanging ornaments.
Facing a table of mushrooms exuding a “yiyiyi” emotion, Angel felt he couldn’t hold back his expression.
If it were the Mushroom Witch Regina from the Research Institute, who specialized in mushrooms, she would probably be very excited to see these unique mushrooms from the outside world. However, as for Angel, his interest in mushrooms wasn’t great. Upon seeing this group of mushrooms, the image that came to his mind was a pot of steaming mushroom chicken soup.
Perhaps seeing the resistance in Angel’s eyes, Nooka gently tapped the table with his pink slender nails. The various colored mushrooms on the table hopped and disappeared, leaving only a row of five differently colored mushrooms.
These five mushrooms were the finest ones personally cultivated by Nooka.
As the Minister of Agriculture, the mushrooms he cultivated were naturally extraordinary.
Angel originally thought of refusing, but when Book Mad explained, revealing the effects of the first mushroom, Angel swallowed the refusal.
The Mushroom of Abundance, possessing the effect of stabilizing half-planar spatial fluctuations. Angel’s Opulent Nightmare Domain, magnified, is essentially a half-plane, albeit nascent; and the Wilderness of Dreams, is also a kind of alternative half-plane.
The Mushroom of Abundance can stabilize spatial fluctuations in a half-plane, a very impressive effect. Only with stable space can many things be accomplished. Just like in the Abyss, where all wizard organizations build their frontline cities in places of spatial stability, it’s the same principle.
The effect of the Mushroom of Abundance alone is already excellent, and naturally, the effects of the other four mushrooms won’t be inferior.
Among them, what most caught Angel’s eye were “Amen” and “Omnipotent.”
The Mushroom of Amen, like the Mushroom of Abundance, has spatial properties, but whereas the Mushroom of Abundance is only applicable to half-planes, the Mushroom of Amen can be used in reality. It resembles a tall tree in shape, and its effect is to open a door at the mushroom’s location, enter a sub-space passage, and then exit through another Mushroom of Amen.
In other words, its effect is to accomplish mid to short distance teleportation.
The advantage of the Mushroom of Amen is that it can achieve spatial displacement at a very small cost.
Its drawback is that once the Mushroom of Amen is planted, it cannot be moved. It’s essentially a fixed ‘teleportation formation.’ Moreover, the Mushroom of Amen to which it teleports must be of the same mushroom origin, otherwise, teleportation is impossible.
Also, cultivating a mature Mushroom of Amen requires a considerable amount of resources.
However, these aren’t much of a concern for Angel. He never planned to keep the Mushroom of Amen for himself; once he leaves, he’ll just leave it to the higher-ups of the Savage Grottoes to handle.
The Savage Grottoes, due to groundless fears, did not let Sky Mechanical City help build a teleportation formation, so what they lack most now is a teleportation formation. The Mushroom of Amen, although incapable of long-distance teleportation, can be planted in a neutral area with a teleportation formation.
For example, plant a Mushroom of Amen in the Savage Grottoes and another in a wizard market with a teleportation formation. It will then be completely feasible to use the market’s teleportation formation to travel to the well-connected Sky Mechanical City.
This is great news for both formal wizards and apprentices, and it’s very cost-effective.
Besides the Mushroom of Amen, another one valued by Angel is the “Omnipotent.”
The Mushroom of Omnipotence lives up to its name; it is indeed very omnipotent. It will continuously self-modify during its growth, guided by the cultivator’s thoughts, until it achieves the desired effect.
For instance, if you want it to become a mushroom house, it will develop into one during its growth stage, eventually providing everything including furniture and even plumbing.
Of course, a mushroom house is just a low-level application. The cultivation of the Mushroom of Omnipotence relies more on the cultivator’s imagination.
