"It is the Lotus Slime," she replied calmly, reshaping the floating goblet of water in her hand.
The water shifted and swirled.
It turned into a semi-transparent, bulbous sac filled with glowing liquid.
Ben's eyes narrowed. "I know that one.
The weird slime plant that attacked all at once when I got too close."
The Lady of the Lake nodded. "Then I do not need to explain how aggressive they are, or how tricky they are to breed and harvest."
"But why is it called a lotus?" Ben asked.
He stared at the shape in the water.
"You will understand when you see it," she replied. "The bloom cycle should be close."
Ben rubbed his chin. "Alright.
So how do I harvest them?"
"It is simple.
The Lotus Slimes are hypersensitive to mana.
If you approach them while radiating any, they will see you as prey.
But if you suppress your mana completely, they will not react."
Sensitive to mana, huh, Ben thought.
