This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 349, Section 348: Health
"Uncle Eric, is there something wrong with my body?" Having just stepped out of the testing room filled with sophisticated magical instruments, Inanna blinked her clear eyes, a hint of barely perceptible tension in them, and looked at the old butler.

“No, not at all, Miss.” Eric smiled gently as always and bowed slightly. “You are in excellent health; all your indicators are as good as they could be.”

Eric breathed a sigh of relief as he safely escorted Inanna away and watched her slender figure disappear at the end of the corridor.

It seems he had indeed been overthinking things; it wasn't the worst-case scenario he was most worried about.

Next, we must devote all our energy to a thorough investigation of the internal traitor.

Inanna maintained her elegant and dignified demeanor as she walked unhurriedly back to her room. However, the moment the door gently closed behind her, her feigned composure crumbled instantly.

She practically lunged to the bedside, grabbing the silent, loyal knight Puji tightly into her arms, then curled up in the darkest corner of the room, burying her face deep into Puji's mushroom hat.

After the boss learned that she was going to undergo an examination, he actually cut off her connection to the mushroom network!
There was absolutely no need for this! She could have controlled it perfectly well, and no one would have noticed anything amiss!
At this moment, unable to feel the omnipresent, warm, and reassuring mycelial network, Inanna felt as if she had once again been thrown back into that cold, dark, and silent abyss, all alone.

She was alone; no one else could perceive her presence.

Fortunately, the contract she formed with the knight Puji through special items is still intact, and she can still feel that faint connection, which has become her only solace now.

She desperately wanted to immediately cast the Puji Transformation spell on herself, to re-enter that warm network, and to be under the boss's gaze.

But it was still daytime, and Uncle Eric or other maids could come looking for her at any moment, so she could only suppress the urge and endure it silently.

Time passed slowly in agony.

Finally, the sky outside the window became completely dark.

As night fell, Inanna immediately locked the door and eagerly cast the Puji Transformation spell on herself!

The soft dress rustled and fell to the ground, and a round, pink mushroom-shaped pup popped out from inside the clothes.

The knight, who had been waiting quietly by the side, stepped forward silently, and the mushroom hat gently touched the pink Puji.

Back on the mushroom web, the previously blurry view suddenly became clear and expansive!
Countless familiar and comforting auras reappeared in her senses, illuminating the darkness within her heart like stars.

Pink Puji's entire mushroom visibly relaxed and slumped softly onto the ground.

"Boss?" she asked tentatively from within the mushroom web.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" The familiar voice responded to her almost immediately, just like always.

"N-nothing..." Pinky's voice carried a hint of grievance followed by dependence, "I just wanted to see if you were here... Boss, am I... not having that nightmare anymore?"

"It shouldn't happen again," Lin Jun replied confidently. "Don't worry, even if you have nightmares again, just call me anytime."

With her boss's reassuring assurance, Pinky's tense nerves, which had been on edge all day, finally relaxed completely, and she fell into a deep sleep.

That night, she did indeed have a peaceful and sweet dream.

……

After a day of fighting, the battle ended with the demons suffering a minor setback and being forced to retreat back into the magical defenses of the Crimson Spire.

After personally engaging Sigismund in several rounds, Duke Alama realized that although his opponent seemed to be in poor condition, he was far from being able to be defeated directly.

Continuing the offensive would not allow them to expand their gains and might even increase casualties, so they considered retreating. Meanwhile, Sigismund was beset by internal and external troubles; a stubborn creature within him could seize control at any moment, and he just wanted to end this inexplicable battle as quickly as possible.

The two commanders, with tacit understanding, began to manipulate their troops, slowly separating the entangled armies as if untying tangled ropes, allowing them to retreat and ending this battle that had started strong but ended weakly.

In order to stabilize morale and public opinion, Sigismund did not hesitate to shift the blame for the defeat onto Duke Eleanor, who had remained inactive throughout.

If Eleanor were to intervene, they could sandwich each other, and everything would be fine!
Most of the unsuspecting demon soldiers and lower-ranking officers accepted this seemingly reasonable explanation and were furious at Eleanor's "betrayal."

Only the adjutant who had personally witnessed the chaos in command and vaguely sensed the Duke's abnormality harbored doubts.

As the Duke's trusted confidant, he sensed more keenly than others that the Duke's behavior these past two days had been strangely unsettling.

Like... now!
Lin Jun was leaning back in the large chair without any regard for her image, stuffing sweet candies into her mouth with one hand while casually flipping through a thick book with a black cover with the other.

This book was recovered from the belongings of the evil sorcerer Margas, who died unexpectedly. It contains a large amount of profound, obscure, and extremely dangerous knowledge of abyssal magic.

Lin Jun, however, was engrossed in reading it, as if she were reading an interesting adventure novel.

It's a pity there's no creep here; otherwise, if I had just disintegrated that evil sorcerer, I might have been able to try casting those abyssal spells myself.

However, Lin Jun quickly came up with a workaround.

Due to the deceptive nature of Abyss Magic, it naturally has very few users.

It was a taboo that was strictly forbidden in the United Kingdom, which prevented Lin Jun from having the opportunity to capture one.

While demons are equally rare, fortunately, they are not explicitly prohibited by law.

So, Lin Jun waved his hand and publicly issued a recruitment notice in the name of the Duke, recruiting users of abyss magic without setting any level threshold. Even the lowest-level abyss magic apprentices could come and serve, with excellent treatment!

First, lure people over, then assign them tasks like "going on business trips to the mushroom capital," and then all they have to do is wait for the takeout to arrive.

As for whether doing so will cause trouble for Sigismund?
Lin Jun didn't care about any of that!
In the end, Sigismund had to clean up the mess himself.

Just like the adjutant who was standing not far away at that moment, secretly observing him with a complicated and suspicious look.

So what if we have doubts?
Lin Jun didn't care at all!
The feeling of throwing a wild party in someone else's house, then leaving the homeowner to clean up the mess... is really quite comfortable!
Right now, what Lin Jun wants to figure out more is that void leading to the abyss!
The massive, chaotic flow of information that surges forth doesn't seem to be entirely useless junk; with careful sifting and discernment, one might be able to find some valuable things.

For example, the title "Fairness" seems to be a description of how to obtain it.

Unfortunately, it is currently unknown what the "harvesting phase" and "justice value" mentioned in the text specifically refer to.

This massive amount of information, even if one only touches it for a moment, would completely overwhelm one's consciousness.

However, Lin Jun, with her enormous size, can try to make use of them.

What's needed now is to level up and learn how to open up that void!

Of course, we can't neglect the things that involve enjoyment!
Since a vampire's body can't taste normal food, it can at least taste "delicious" blood!

First, consult with Xiaozhu.
