Chapter 121: Fier-Bee Experiments!
The next day, Belissar made a quick stop to the Slime Flower, since it had been on his mind. He rubbed his chin as he looked it over. Try as he might, he couldn’t find any slimes either nearby or throughout his Tower.
“Does it need more time? Or…”
He noticed a worker bee land on the flower…and then pulled up the Slime Flower’s description once more.
Slime Flower
- Type: Slime, Nature, Trap, Spawner
- Mana Upkeep: 20 per node (40 due to Blessing of Bees), 10 (20 due to Blessing of Bees) to enable in compatible rooms
- Description: A flower that concentrates its mana into thickening its sap, which will spill out and engulf any creature that damages it. This effect extends partially to its nectar as well, which if left to pool in sufficient quantities may eventually condense into a slime core. The slime will then carry the flower’s seeds along with it as it begins to move, spreading the seeds around while also hunting nearby pests, further protecting the flower.
He confirmed that the description mentioned slimes spawning…if the flower’s nectar was left to pool in sufficient quantities. So, if the bees were consistently gathering that nectar…maybe slimes would never spawn?
Belissar briefly considered whether he should ask the bees to hold off and test the theory before shaking his head. At the end of the day, the bees were the priority. If they wanted to gather this flower’s nectar in quantities that prevented slimes from spawning, then that is what they would do. Belissar was curious about the slimes and how the flower worked, but not so curious that he’d interrupt the bees’ work to find out.
