Now that the choice of bee monsters was settled, Belissar quickly moved on to the next one before he could regret his decisions.
Please select a perk:
- Concentrated Nectar (Rarity: Uncommon)
- Rapid Bloom (Rarity: Uncommon)
- Enhanced Seed Dispersal (Rarity: Uncommon)
Belissar smiled. Just from the names, he had high hopes for some of these perks.
- Small increase to nectar nutrients and mana content
- Small increase to potency of all compounds produced by flowers, including alchemical reagents and toxins
“Think…flowers growing well. Say Nature mana rising. Will grow lots, gardeners help. Better nectar makes flowers stronger. More gardeners to help…”
She then drooped as all the queens remained still, watching her.
Until Beero broke the silence by flying over and brushing Frelis’s antennae. With the spell broken, the First of the Fifth began to dance out her thoughts.
“Honey production already growing. If nectar grows even better…will have amazing amount of honey. Will be able to raise lots of gardeners, as many as need. Will be able to raise more queens, evolve more bees. Maybe even…evolve queens?”
All the queens turned to the Fourth of the Seventh, who was circling around the group while calling all the options amazing and incredible. The First of the Fifth and the Firstborn turned to look to one another and saluted as one before turning to Belissar.
“So do I. Thank you all.”
Concentrated Nectar selected.
With the choices handled, Belissar dismissed most of the queens. He did, however, keep the room leader queens to discuss the new missions from the gods.
“So, we have two new missions from the God of Bees. First, she wants a monster bee queen to join Tarwantrad’s dungeon.”
Tarwantrad began to make high-pitched noises while Belissar glanced at the First of the Fifth.
“Are any queens ready to raise daughters that they would be willing to send to a new dungeon? They…would lose contact with us, I think, but Tarwantrad will take good care of them.”
Tarwantrad rushed up and nodded as rapidly as she could.
“Yes! I promise! I will bring you my own bees and many flowers too!”
The First of the Fifth saluted immediately.
“As King commands! Will raise new queens right away! Claim new flowers for hive of hives!”
Belissar stood there blinking for a second. He had thought it would take some convincing, but the First of the Fifth was more enthusiastic about the idea than he expected. Well, if the bees didn’t complain, neither would he. As much as he was worried about sending bees away, he knew he could trust Tarwantrad to take care of them, and the God of Bees herself wished for this. There was no longer any reason to delay.
And that brought him to the next order of business.
“Thank you, First of the Fifth. Next, the God of Bees wants a bee queen to be blessed by the God of Fire…”
He was about to turn and ask the Third of the Sixth, given that she was already training in fire stuff with Chief Rohsuak, but he found her already dancing to Chief Rohsuak.
“Queen of All Fire…karnuq queen follows?”
Chief Rohsuak smiled and nodded.
The Third of the Sixth then turned to Belissar.
“King and Queen of All Bees want bee to join Hive of All Fire?”
Belissar slowly nodded.
He was going to clarify that only if the bee in question wanted to do so, but the Third of the Sixth began dancing first.
Belissar paused for a second but smiled once he processed the question.
“Of course. I’d be grateful if you did.”
The Third of the Sixth immediately began zipping about, heating up the area.
She then began zipping around Chief Rohsuak.
