Chapter 542 The Dark History I Don’t Want to Mention
Screen continues
The wise master of mushrooms said, "What's there for a mere human to be so stubborn about... If you insist on shouting, then give it a try!"
Then the Wise Lord of Fungi summoned several fungus beasts, which were easily dealt with by Traveler Ying and Varessa in no time.
Seeing this, the wise master of mushrooms pretended to be calm and said, "You did a good job. It's not in vain that you ate so many of my clones. Humph, I have a good eye."
Paimon: "That's a completely different attitude from before!"
"I admit that you have some abilities, but my miracles are far more than that."
Then he escaped underground.
Paimon complained, "Don't leave... Never mind, I noticed that you all like to just throw in a few words and leave."
"What should we do? Should we follow them?"
Valesa: "Let's go. It feels like I'm listening to a story. Although the story itself isn't very well written..."
[Funina] "It's really not that good. If I give it a score out of 100, I feel that even one point is too high."
[Paimon] "I'm starting to have no expectations for its next miracle."
Screen turn
Traveler Ying and others followed the Sage Lord of Mushrooms to a huge mushroom-shaped statue.
The wise master of mushrooms continued to tell his legendary story, "After that, I became the faith of mankind. I used my power to create clones and gave mankind endless food."
"Food is a scarce resource. The belief that can feed people is the most practical and noble belief!"
"Depending on the contribution of humans in battle and construction, they will be rewarded with varying amounts of mushrooms. The best people can eat a full twenty mushrooms a day!"
Paimon muttered in disappointment "Only mushrooms?"
Hearing Paimon's words, the Lord of Mushrooms widened his eyes and asked in disbelief, "Are mushrooms not enough?!" as if Paimon's words were an insult to him.
Vanessa on the side explained, "Maybe in the era when the story takes place, there is no way to be picky."
Paimon: "But nowadays, the dragons of Nata would not want to eat granular fruit for every meal."
[Xianyun] "Although this demon god does not seem like much to modern people, the source of food was indeed a problem for humans at that time."
[Kiana] "But twenty mushrooms at most is too little, isn't it?"
[Xiang Ling] "Anyway, it's not as good as my Guoba!"
【Potato】“?~”
[Varesa] "But at least it sounds like the other party is not a particularly bad demon, just a little arrogant. Considering that he provides so many mushrooms for our family, I think everyone in the country of Wolu should be able to accept it."
[Captain] "But this feeling of being left behind by the times makes me feel like this demon god is completely unaware of the outside world."
[Traveler Ying] "Perhaps it is because I have been seriously trapped in my own fantasy and cannot see the reality clearly."

The wise master of mushrooms thought that the other party had been conquered by the miracles it had told him, and continued to tempt him, "Food and power are the foundation of faith. How about it? There is no reason not to accept the gift from me, right?"
"Just promise me, become my subject, and build a civilization for mushrooms..."
The traveler Ying immediately interrupted the other party and said, "Wait a minute, I want to know what happened next."
The wise master of mushrooms immediately began to feel guilty and started to play dumb. "After that? What, after what..."
Valesa: "Yes, since humans have gathered together to believe in you, they should have developed into a powerful tribe or country."
"But I've read a lot of Nata's Heroic Weaving Volumes, and I don't think I've ever heard of anything related to mushrooms."
The wise master of mushrooms: "Of course, I was somewhere else at that time, and you don't understand the affairs of other countries..."
The traveler Ying said directly, "We have also been to Xumi."
Paimon: "Yeah, I haven't heard of it at all."
The wise master of the mushroom suddenly became anxious and quickly argued, "It's not Xumi either, why do you insist that it is Xumi..."
The traveler Ying explained, "The mushroom beasts are creatures from Xumi, and the architecture is also in the style of Xumi."
The wise master of mushrooms started to act like a rogue. "Why are you paying attention to these details? You don't deserve to know what happened later!"
However, this does not pose any threat to the traveler Ying. "Then you do not deserve faith."
Paimon: "Yeah, we agreed to build mutual trust, so why are you hiding this?"
Vanessa agreed, "A story without a beginning or an end is indeed not convincing..."
Although the wise master of the mushroom was very angry, he knew that the current situation would definitely be disadvantageous to him, so he changed his strategy and said, "Then let's just do this, let's stick to the previous rules and use your wisdom to exchange!"
"You won't get my story unless you further prove your worth!"
Afterwards, the wise master of mushrooms fled without looking back, and travelers Ying and others chased after him.
[Colai] "Rather than the miracles I just described, I am more curious about what it is hiding?"
[Ganyu] "It seems that this wise mushroom lord is a demon god who cares a lot about his reputation, so the things he is hiding are most likely his dark history."
[Linnie] "But if we want to gain faith in this era, it may be a very difficult thing given its current situation."
[Linnet] "It's not that it's difficult, it's just that it's impossible to achieve. Only a fool would believe in such a demon."
After chasing for a while, the wise master of mushrooms jumped into a well.
Paimon wanted to jump down but was stopped by the traveler Ying. "Wait, its real purpose is questionable."
Vanessa: "Actually, I have the same feeling. It doesn't want to talk about what happened later. Given its personality, it could only be that something bad happened later and it can't brag about it..."
"How did it get from Xumi to Nata? It seems to be avoiding mentioning the reason."
"But even so, it did not give up the opportunity to make us its subjects... Of course, there will be no such opportunity in reality."
Paimon also responded, "Oh, yeah, now that you mention it, when we try to get to the bottom of it, it can just kick us out."
Traveler Ying "It is in desperate need of human subjects. And it needs us first."
Vanessa was very confused "But why?"
Traveler Ying: "Let's go and chase it. Pay attention to possible clues on the road."
Paimon agreed, "Well, now my thoughts are much clearer. Let's go."
Afterwards, Traveler Ying and others jumped into the well and started a simple parkour.
After a short while, the wise master of mushrooms was surrounded by the traveler Ying and others.
The Wise Lord of Fungi turned around and tried to continue running away, but was quickly grabbed by Vanessa.
Because Varessa was so strong, the Sage Lord of Fungi screamed in pain, cursed a few words, and then escaped underground.
Fortunately, this time it was not without gain. Vanessa just pulled a cloud of mist off it when she walked past it.
The fog dissipated instantly, and everyone's consciousness came to the past that the wise master of mushrooms did not want to mention.
