Mystery: The Star Key

Ingena was stunned.

It was the first time he had heard such a greeting. Is this some kind of code?

A very obvious doubt appeared on Ingener's face, and Frank Lee explained patiently:

"It is a kind of mushroom that can grow and reproduce by swallowing flesh in a dark environment. Because of the characteristics of hybrid cows, it can squeeze milk."

"Every time you cook that special mushroom, you need to cook it with hot water above 90 degrees for at least 5 minutes."

"So, I guess you're drinking hot milk, do you remember that?" Frank explained patiently. (Note 1)

After explaining, Yingner recalled at this time.

There was indeed such a thing more than a week and a half ago.

That was when he and Canterbury hunted a giant Corruptor in the forest on their way to Perizic.

Because the corpse of the monster is too dirty and smelly, those who love to bask in the sun will not starve and refuse to eat it. So Canterbury used a dried mushroom that she carried with her to dispose of the corpse.

It was indeed a scene that Yingna will never forget.

Those dried mushrooms were thrown on the monster's body, but in three or five minutes, the monster was completely decomposed, and the monster's body was covered with brightly colored and full-shaped mushrooms, which looked like poisonous mushrooms. solitary.

Later, Canterbury skillfully handled these mushrooms and burned them to the ground.

And when those mushrooms were being burned, Yingner smelled a very clear fragrance of hot milk...

He also asked at the time why Canterbury had such a smell.

Canterbury told him the story of the mushrooms that brought them a new source of food when they were in the Forsaken Land.

And after arriving at the New City of Silver, he was instructed by the divine revelation to deal with it step by step (Note 2).

"The mushrooms in the City of Silver have all been disposed of. This is the one I found hidden in the mezzanine when I was packing my bags a few days ago. This is probably the last one left in the world." Canterbury said.

Recalling this, Yingner couldn't help but turn his attention to the toxin expert in front of him.

If Mushroom Gu is the City of Silver brought by the Angel of Redemption, then the first mate of the future ship in front of me...

... how did he know?

"Sir, don't be nervous." Frank smiled heartily like a brown bear, raised his hands, and indicated that he was not hostile.

He pointed to his nose and continued with a hearty smile: "I cultivated the mushroom that can produce the flavor of hot milk. It doesn't exist anywhere else."

"I sent some to my friend Gehrman Sparrow a long time ago, maybe you've seen him recently?"

Yingna was startled again.

Together with Bruce Walls, who was standing beside him, he was stunned for a moment.

"German Sparrow?" they repeated in unison.

However, Bruce Walls and Ingener were not surprised by the same thing.

Perhaps, Mr. "Gourmet" was surprised that "Toxin Expert" has a close friendship with the strongest adventurer on the five seas.

On the other hand, Yingner was surprised that the mushrooms who were written into the history of the City of Silver had a high probability of coming from the "toxin expert" in front of him.

Because, when writing The Story of the City of Silver, he once had a problem that was always incomprehensible.

Teacher Gehrman Sparrow is an angel of the Diviner Sequence, and the three paths protected by Mr. Fool have nothing to do with "crops". Therefore, when it comes to how the teacher found these strange mushrooms, Yingna embraced. Has a strong curiosity.

However, Gehrman Sparrow never allowed him to ask more.

Gehrman Sparrow generally gave him a silent glance every time he asked a superfluous question not related to combat, and then began "the next lesson."

And in the next teaching, let Yingna live rather than die.

Therefore, there is a question about where the mushrooms that "Saint Germain" brought to the City of Silver came from.

Ingena never had a chance to find an answer.

And today, at the pirate conference, Yingner actually knew the answer!

"Yes, Gehrman really was an inspiring friend. A lot of his proposals made my eyes wide open," Frank said sincerely and sincerely.

"Moreover, he is also one of the few real friends who can agree with my experimental results."

"I also have some new experimental works recently, but Gehrman Sparrow's messenger refused to help me deliver the letter to him." Frank scratched his head, showing a look of regret, "His messenger said that he has not been able to reply to letters recently. "

"So, this gentleman." Frank looked at Ingener with sincerity in his eyes, "Have you seen my friend Gehrman Sparrow lately?"

"…"

I've seen it...but I can't say it out.

Moreover, the smell of mushrooms left over from a week ago... also has nothing to do with Gehrman Sparrow.

"I haven't seen Gehrman Sparrow recently." Yingner replied truthfully, "Mushroom Gu is from another friend of mine, she is from the New City of Silver."

Although the mushroom you invented has been completely banned in the new silver city...

"Have you heard of the New City of Silver, Mr. Frank Lee?" Ingena asked.

This time, it was Frank Lee's turn to show a somewhat dazed look.

"Let's build a new city next to Bayam." Lieutenant General Iceberg's first officer, Bruce Walls said, "a new city that believes in the Fool."

Frank Li Deng showed an expression of sudden realization: "In this way, I seem to have heard the captain talk about that city."

But at the same time, Frank Lee's expression couldn't help becoming a little lost: "So, you haven't seen Gehrman Sparrow, have you?"

"Yes." Yingner nodded regretfully.

And, strictly speaking, no one should be able to see Gehrman Sparrow in the near future.

The most loyal angel under the Fool accompanied his master and fell into a deep sleep.

Hearing Ingener's words, Frank looked even more disappointed, his head bowed down like a giant brown bear who had lost his beloved toy.

Seeing that Frank was about to leave in disappointment, Yingner hurriedly stopped him.

"Mr. Frank Lee, please stay."

"I'm a little curious. How did you create those mushrooms?" Yingner still hasn't got the answer he wanted.

The source of Mushroom Gu in Silver City has not been explained clearly.

"As far as I know, no mushrooms in nature seem to have such properties."

Although the reproduction rate and growth mechanism of those mushrooms are frightening, he has no way to deny that in the history of the land abandoned by God, mushrooms once brought hope to the residents of Silver City.

"This gentleman, are you interested in crossbreeding?" Frank Lee's eyes suddenly lit up, and his heavy steps of leaving suddenly became very light.

Almost with a "swoosh", the toxin expert rushed to Yingner's eyes.

"Of course." Yingner nodded.

In his home country, there is a father of hybrid rice. It was he who created the world-famous hybrid rice through continuous experiments. It has made outstanding contributions to the food security, agricultural science development and world food supply in big food-loving countries.

"Oh my God, finally there is a second good friend who agrees with my opinion." Frank Lee rushed over like a giant bear and held Yingner's hand excitedly.

"The technology of soil, crop and variety hybridization is the future of mankind!" (Note 3)

"But the people from the Church of the Mother Earth don't believe it." Bruce Walls added with a chuckle, "and sent him to the Inquisition."

Ingena was stunned. He could hear that Bruce Walls was implicitly reminding him that Frank Lee was not as "amiable" as he seemed.

But Yingner didn't quite understand.

Not so much, right?

Is hybridization bad? How many food problems has Grandpa Yuan's hybrid rice solved, and how many poor people can be lifted out of hunger?

Moreover, the mushrooms invented by Frank Li have indeed freed the Land Forsaken from the situation of eating polluted monsters, increased the variety of food, and improved the survival probability of the residents of Silver City. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

"It's all in the past." Frank Lee didn't seem to care about Bruce Walls' sarcasm, and drew a prayer gesture from the Church of the Mother Earth in his heart, "Merciful mother, it's just that I didn't initially A mature attempt. Now, I won't be so reckless anymore."

Frank Lee looked down at Yingner with genuine joy in his eyes.

"I'm glad you're interested in hybrid technology."

"Actually, those mushrooms are also the product of hybridization."

Um?

"How to hybridize?" Ingena asked.

Is it through the hybridization of different kinds of mushrooms, such as the mushrooms that multiply rapidly on the monster's body, the mushrooms that can produce the strange smell of milk? Is there such a mushroom in nature?

It was probably the curious look in Yingner's eyes that stimulated Frank. He was like a child and said with a little show off:

"It's the product of the hybridization of wheat, mushrooms, and a deep-sea fish, milk, and some rose bishop's cells."

"…"

"…"

Both Bruce Walls and Ingena fell silent.

But Frank Lee's enthusiasm grew even higher. He raised his eyebrows and asked happily, "How about this friend, are you interested in going to our ship to see my new research results?"
