Chapter 118 -117 Mushroom Bird Rosy

“A grievous loss of sovereignty!”

“Ceding territory and paying indemnities!”

“The scholar’s honor is swept away!”

“Such misfortune for my family!”

In the castle’s sprite room, under Russell’s lament, the little Dream Dragon, after successfully extorting a large batch of Ice Pellet Pearl debts, finally opened its mouth, and amidst dozens of spirit insects, found the Fluorescent Fungus Bug evolving and spewed forth a second breath of Dragonflame.

Four nights ago, a blast of dragonflame caused the magic light blooming on the Fluorescent Fungus Bug’s body to burst through the white light’s blockade with a surge of green.

And with this breath of dragonflame, the green light flourished, completely overwhelming the remaining sliver of white light.

The flickering light also gradually stabilized, forming a constant, emerald glow that clearly outlined the shape of a mushroom bug. However, in the next moment, this clear image suddenly exploded, and the mushroom bug seemed to turn into a green lightbulb.

It emitted an incredibly bright brilliance, overshadowing the glow of all the surrounding spirit insects, even overshadowing the magic light of the mushroom bird Lorey and Little Sprite Tess.

“Has it evolved?”

Russell really wanted to witness with his own eyes the evolution process of the Fluorescent Fungus Bug into a mushroom bird.

However, the little Dream Dragon yawned listlessly and let out a feeble “Ga.”

Then.

Everything plunged into darkness.

When his consciousness came back online, it wasn’t 7:30 the next morning but deep into the night, with darkness still blanketing the view outside the window.

“Mr. Russell, wake up quickly!” Carter’s voice rang out from outside the door, accompanied by a knocking sound.

“What’s going on?” Russell was a bit groggy—it wasn’t time to get up yet, “Come in first, then talk.”

Carter entered, his face beaming with joy: “Great news, Mr. Russell! The Shadowflame Dragon has responded to the earnest expectations of the Fluorescent Fungi Family, it has turned its gaze toward us—it’s seen us!”

“What?” Russell’s eyes widened.

In fact, he was already gaining clarity and recollecting what happened in the Gloomy Dreamland. Hearing what Carter said, he knew the Fluorescent Fungus Bug’s evolution had succeeded.

Even though in the Gloomy Dreamland last night, he knew the event was on the brink of success.

But now, knowing it truly succeeded, he was thrilled beyond measure. From now on, he would own a Little Sprite, a Fluorescent Mushroom Bird!

“Your Fluorescent Mushroom Bug has evolved into a mushroom bird, Mr. Russell!” Carter laughed heartily, “I think now would be a good time for you to get out of bed and see it in the sprite room, the lord and lady of the house have already rushed there.”

“Really, that’s great!” Russell quickly got out of bed, slipped on his slippers, and trotted toward the sprite room.

He still wanted to act surprised, but on second thought, he decided it was more important to meet his mushroom bird first.

The servant and the master ran upstairs, one after the other.

Theoretically, a single spirit insect could influence the magic potion yield of one hundred and fifty acres.

A Little Sprite, ten times stronger than a spirit insect, could theoretically influence the magic potion yield of one thousand five hundred acres.

On the surface, the influence of a Little Sprite seems to be no more than the combined effect of ten spirit insects, but in reality, that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

The magic potion fields influenced by a Little Sprite, in terms of both yield and quality, far surpass those influenced by mushroom bugs.

More importantly, the influence of a Little Sprite can cause a significant portion of the magic potions in the magic potion fields to potentially nurture new spirit insects. The chances may not be high, but they are consistent, which is why nobles are able to steadily harvest spirit insects.

If they had to rely on blind luck to find spirit insects in the wild like outsiders, the nobles would sooner or later face famine.

There’s also another important point.

Compared to the brief ten-to-twenty-year lifespan of spirit insects, a Little Sprite has a minimum lifespan of fifty years, with many living over a hundred years.

During the years a Little Sprite is alive, it can continuously produce spirit insects.

Acquiring a Little Sprite means acquiring dozens, hundreds, or even more spirit insects, their value incalculable. With even just moderate luck, before the Little Sprite’s life ends, it might even nurture a new Little Sprite.

A few steps away, he had already reached the elf room.

“Father, mother,” Russell greeted the Baron and his wife, who had arrived earlier, and then his eyes immediately landed on two mushroom birds of about the same size.

One was the mushroom bird Lorey, and the other was, unsurprisingly, his newborn mushroom bird.

“Chirp chirp.”

Upon seeing Russell’s arrival, the newborn mushroom bird immediately flapped its wings and swiftly landed on Russell’s shoulder.

It then affectionately rubbed against Russell’s neck.

Through telepathy, Russell could clearly feel its joy of being reborn, and its gratitude and dependence on Russell—although everything happened in the Gloomy Dreamland, just like Kevin the Gold and Silver Wolfhound, it was keenly aware that Russell was helping it evolve.

“Little fella,” Russell tilted his head and flicked the mushroom bird’s beak with his finger, finding it hard to imagine why a mushroom bug would evolve into a little bird.

But magical creatures are just that—magical.

Seeing the mushroom bird on the younger son’s shoulder, the Baron and his wife exchanged a look, seeing countless unspoken words in each other’s eyes.

In the end, Lady Meryl stepped forward and embraced Russell, “I’m so proud of you, Russell.”

“Thank you, mother,” Russell took a deep breath, “My mushroom bird… how did it manage to evolve successfully?”

“Carter came over for the night watch and discovered that there were two mushroom birds in the elf room, which woke us up. We were just as shocked to see this miraculous scene. It’s hard to imagine how strong this little one’s will to survive was, to snatch that sliver of life against all odds,” Lady Meryl said with emotion.

Baron Roman nodded slightly, his feelings complicated to the extreme, encompassing both the joy of the mushroom bird’s birth and various other tumultuous thoughts.

But in the end, he spoke wistfully, “Magical creatures are indeed magical creatures, always bringing unexpected surprises… I must say, Russell, the Great Dragon is watching over you; you are indeed a lucky lad.”

“Thank the Great Dragon!” Russell expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

Of course, he was not thanking the Shadowflame Dragon, but his own Little Dream Dragon.

While everyone was feeling moved, a series of rushed footsteps sounded from outside.

Then came the flustered voice of big brother Roland, “Is it true, really true, that Youguangxun mushroom bug has really evolved? That’s impossible… Father, mother, you are all here; by the Great Dragon’s gaze, oh heavens, this is the most wonderful news!”

When Roland saw the mushroom bird on Russell’s shoulder, he was immensely shocked, even more so than Russell himself.

But he quickly embraced Russell tightly, “Well done, little brother, I’m even jealous of your good fortune!”

“I don’t even know what to say; I’m just too elated,” Russell smiled, “Maybe the Great Dragon took a fancy on a whim to see Fluorescent Castle and just happened to notice my mushroom bird, so it took a glance and lent a helping hand.”

He smiled brightly, “Anyway, thank the Great Dragon!”

“We do have to thank the Great Dragon,” Roland said excitedly, “Father, mother, this is a big deal. The Fluorescent Fungi Family has seen the birth of its second Fluorescent Fungus Mushroom Bird! Should we not host a celebration banquet in the name of this mushroom bird?”

Baron Roman calmly said, “Why not? But let’s limit it to Glowing Valley.”

After all.

This Fluorescent Fungus Mushroom Bird belonged to Russell, not to Fluorescent Castle, making all the difference in its meaning.

Lady Meryl nodded in agreement, and while gently playing with the somewhat shy mushroom bird, she asked, “Russell, have you thought of a name for this little one?”

“Chirp chirp!” Mushroom Bird Luo Xi flew over, seemingly eager to contribute a name.

As for the other playful Little Sprite Tess, she was still fast asleep and not the least bit disturbed by the commotion.

“Rosy.”

Russell announced the name he had prepared in advance for the mushroom bird, looking at the chubby, green, palm-sized bird on his shoulder, he repeated, “Yes, let’s call it… Rosy!”
