Chapter 83 Companion Flower
The world outside doesn’t seem so scary.
Leaving the Wizard Tower, the life of ordinary people may be similar to the ancient times of Thor's previous life.
However, the next second, Mentor Kaz's words broke Thor's illusion.
"Such closed carriages are basically used to transport materials."
"Materials?"
"Most of them are contaminated corpses from the outside world. After all, there are only so many people in the wizard tower. If you point to the corpses produced in the tower, you There has been no work for a long time."
No wonder Sol had never seen the appearance of many corpses.
"Will the surrounding towns take the initiative to send people over?"
"They don't have the strength. Basically, the third-level apprentices take the initiative to collect contaminated corpses. This can be regarded as protecting the safety of the surrounding territories in disguise. Otherwise, why do you think they are willing to Send the child over?"
Kaz smiled, and he couldn't tell whether the smile was more proud or more mocking.
The two walked towards the garden.
As they approached, the small window of the wooden house was opened, and a middle-aged man with a sallow face poked his head out of it.
His facial features are relatively flat, only his nose is very prominent and long, like Pinocchio.
May have also been remodeled.
"Master Kaz, good afternoon!" He greeted Teacher Kaz warmly.
Kaz nodded in response, then pointed to the man and said to Saul: "That's the gardener. After you select the companion flowers, he will teach you how to cultivate them." Saul quickly nodded to the gardener
. Nodding, the gardener responded with a bright smile full of big yellow teeth.
When the two of them walked to the garden gate, a gust of wind happened to blow by, and the aroma of toast penetrated Sol's nose.
It looks like a garden in front of me, but it's actually more like a vegetable patch.
The land was divided into several plots, and flowers were planted on them. The flower stems are slender, but the flower buds are not small. Each flower has only two leaves.
Some flowers are in full bloom, and some are still in bloom.
When the wind blows, it looks like rows of big-headed dolls dancing.
The bread aroma is more intense.
Even though he had already eaten, Sol still felt hungry.
"Teacher, are these all companion flowers?"
Kaz raised his chin, "They are all. Companion flowers are just a general term for a type of plant. You can see that they look different, but the growth process and characteristics are the same." The two of them
. Weaving between the fields.
Sol always felt that the flowers seemed to be turning their heads along with their figures, but he couldn't tell the front and back of the flowers' heads.
"This type of companion flower likes to eat decaying air. Therefore, it cannot be planted in ordinary soil. After you have selected the flowers, go to the gardener just now and ask him to transplant them into a small pot for you, and then give you a packet of flower fertilizer. ."
Flower fertilizer? "
Thor paused.
Is it the kind of flower fertilizer he almost turned into?
"Companion flowers bear fruit almost every six months. Each plant bears one fruit. There are many kinds of fruits, and the probability of bearing different fruits is different. There is currently no method of directional cultivation. Blue is a fruit that can increase magic power, and red is a fruit that enhances physical fitness. "..."
Saul quickly took out a pen and paper from his backpack and started recording.
Kaz glanced at Thor and shook his head, "You should have recorded it a long time ago. Green can detoxify, and purple itself is poisonous. If it is white, remember to turn it in to the wizard tower." Thor paused in recording and waited for a while
. Kaz did not continue speaking.
"Teacher, is there anything wrong with the white fruit?"
"That's not the case. The white fruit stabilizes the mental body, which is lacking in the tower. If you can really cultivate the white fruit, there is no problem in getting 20 credits."
20 Credits...half a year's salary!
So valuable!
When Sol looked at the flowers again, he felt like he was looking at a golden mountain.
"It's difficult to transplant those that have already bloomed. Just choose a bud."
"Yes, mentor." Sol put away his notes and approached the field ridge.
There are hundreds of flowers in the flower field, most of them are in bloom, and a few are in the form of small buds.
As it was related to the credits, Sol did not act quickly and tried to use his own observation to deceive a companion flower that could bear white fruits.
Even if it doesn't work, it will still produce blue fruits.
It's just that these flowers grow irregularly. The colors are different, the shapes are different, some are like roses, some are like tulips, none of them bear fruit.
What should be the results have already been removed.
Just as Thor was observing carefully, the faint voice of instructor Kaz came from behind.
"Rum, do you want you to take his name?"
Thor stopped observing and turned around immediately.
After a very brief hesitation, he honestly admitted, "Yes."
Kaz nodded, showing no sign of anger.
"I also discovered it. There must be another reason why you chose me as your mentor."
Thor would choose Kaz as his mentor. Of course, it was Kongsha's handiwork. The original bottle of potion temporarily enhanced Thor's perception of dark element particles. It once surpassed the light element and became the elemental attribute that Thor perceived the highest.
This also made Thor, who might have chosen Rum as his mentor, choose Kaz without knowing it.
"Then do you regret it now?" Instructor Kaz asked.
"No regrets." Sol responded immediately.
Saying that, not just to lick his mentor, Sol really felt that there was nothing to regret.
If it weren't for the opportunity given by Kongsha, Sol wouldn't even be qualified to become an apprentice.
Rather than complaining about Kongsha's calculations, it is better to regard it as the price to pay for becoming an apprentice.
This is in line with Senior Byron’s values.
Kaz curled his lips and smiled, but his smile was a little cold.
"Yes, you have now undergone a witch body transformation, and you are already leaning towards the dark attribute. You have no chance to regret it."
Thor immediately felt that the sunlight shining on his body was not so warm.
He immediately emphasized: "I really don't regret it, mentor! If I hadn't worked in the morgue, I wouldn't have been able to complete the transformation..."
Worse, he almost revealed that he had enriched himself.
Saul quickly changed his attention, "...and I quite like the work in the morgue. It is especially suitable for concentrating on research and study." I don't know if Kaz heard about
Saul stealing materials, but the look on his face was obvious. Much better.
"Alas..." Instructor Kaz hunched his back, stood with his hands behind his hands, and sighed softly, "It would be great if everyone learned to be content like you."
Others?
who?
Where are you not satisfied?
Ever since he learned the identity of the tower owner, Thor suspected that the work in the morgue might have been arranged for him by the tower owner.
The tower owner asked him to study corpses and souls, how could Thor dare to disobey?
Moreover, what he said was not against his will. The job in the morgue was indeed very suitable for him now.
I just didn’t expect that Instructor Kaz would express such emotion.
This made Sol feel vaguely uneasy.
Whose dissatisfaction can make Teacher Kaz so melancholy?
Kaz took the initiative to end the topic, leaving Sol full of questions.
"With your current ability, there is no problem working in the morgue. As long as you can submit all the materials on time, I will pass the test for you." Will the
monthly test be so simple in the future?
"Thank you, mentor, I will finish it."
Thor was originally worried about how much witchcraft the mentors would ask him to learn during the second test.
He has a lot to learn now, and the study of witchcraft can only be slowed down.
Sol remembered that Senior Mark's test content seemed to be a test of the task of organizing the laboratory.
This made him more certain of his original conjecture:
the Wizard Tower was actually not a school, but a unit.
An apprentice’s initial learning curve is induction. If the newly trained employees are unable to perform any job, they will be fired.
The Wizard Tower is a very strict unit, and the dismissed employees must also use themselves as nourishment to shine for the Wizard Tower.
In this way, the two newcomers who were the first to leave the classroom without learning even a single compound rune during the initial test were actually very dangerous.
Looking back, Saul didn't seem to see them in class today.
Couldn't they...have been "fired"?
"Thank you, mentor, I will keep working hard to complete it." Sol solemnly promised his mentor again.
"Yeah." Kaz turned around and started walking back, "You pick slowly, and when you're done, go find the gardener. Just go back to the tower before sunset."
