Chapter 1114 Exploring The Golden Pyramid
-----
After I helped them sort their things inside of Glutton, each of their possessions inside a bag belonging to each person marked with their slime for "scent", the slimes felt satisfied. Many of them decided to move back to the Oasis and regroup with the rest of the Slimes we rescued, but a couple remained with us.
It was a tiny golden slime and a slightly larger green slime. Both were rather peculiar. The golden slime had a piece of the green slime inside, and the green slime of the golden slime. They seemed slightly calmer and smarter than the rest too but weren't the chief.
"Well looks like most of them left. It's just you two." Pyuku laughed, patting the two. The slimes bounced around and produced tiny tentacles out of their bodies, pointing at me.New n0vel chapters are published on n0ve(l)bi(n.)co/m
"Oh right, introductions, my bad." Pyuku laughed. "These two slimes offered themselves to help us explore the deeper areas of this pyramid. They're a couple, meaning mates. Do you see the colorful spots inside of them? Apparently, mates share a tiny piece of themselves with one another, which marks them as a pair. Eventually when they want to reproduce, this piece inside of them mixes with another piece of themselves inside and gives birth to a slime egg that later hatches. Once it hatches the slime emerges out of our body... naturally, or something, I don't quite get it."
"Um alright, I didn't expect you would go in so much detail but thanks?" Celeste wondered.
"It sounds interesting." I said. "And it is so cute they're a couple! For how long have they been together?" Pyuku asked them after hearing me.
"They said that 108 years." Pyuku said.
"WOW!" Mist gasped. "That's a lot of time! I'm so happy for you!"
"They're cute! And there are little spirits around them too." Lara nodded. "They're trustworthy fellas."
"So mom's big plan is to somehow copy the god's technology?" I asked her.
"So mom's big plan is to somehow copy the god's technology?" I asked her.
"W-Well, come on now, dear. Don't say it like that..." She laughed a bit. "But maybe... yes, perhaps. It is still a very distant dream. But we elves live long lives, so I thought it wouldn't be bad to dedicate a good portion of my lifespan to something that could one day help us defend ourselves better against future menaces, such as Evil Gods... Or well, the Gods we worship themselves."
"T-That's a really ambitious thing!" Mist said. "Interesting... But I don't know what I would do myself..."
"Yeah it's a bit confusing. Like, how do you decipher technology?" Lara tilted her head.
"Hahaha, well, it's not something you should be worrying about. If we find something nice and useful I could also gift it to you." My mother nodded.
As we walked downstairs into the second floor of the pyramid, we found ourselves in front of a large hall. It had three corridors at the end, and a golden altar in the middle.
"Emerald and Sunshine say that this is the forked path, as they called it." Said Pyuku. "Each path leads to a perilous area full of traps, but they're also full of treasure and shiny things."
"Is there one path you haven't explored yet?" Asked my mother.
"Yes, they say they haven't explored the middle path!" Pyuku nodded.
