57 Breeding
After the fence was completed, the gate was opened closer to Carter's house to make it easier for him to enter and exit, but Izumi specifically asked the door to be as concealed as possible, and it was impossible to see that it was a door without looking closely.
Since Balthazar's tiger skin was pulled to cover people's eyes, Izumi naturally wanted to make everyone think that this was really the Marquis's territory.
After all, not to mention the attraction of the tree fruit to the monsters that have eaten it, the orange fruit is even more attractive, and if it can really be grown, it can be made into a special Pork Ball. Although no one knows this now, it is still necessary to do the return defense early.
The repair of the villa is also progressing steadily, Izumi has taken the time to look, he found that those craftsmen who were invited to repair the house are all professional powerhouses, although they are only at the level of a first- or second-order martial artist, but this also ensures that their speed is much faster than that of ordinary craftsmen, and I believe that it will not be long before this villa can return to its former glory.
Moreover, after discovering that the water source on this hill was only a spring not far from the villa, the housekeeper asked the spring to dig a few wells for later watering.
Butterlance is very rich in water, Corot is no exception, residents here far from the water source will dig a well in their yard to get water, although Carter's house does not have one, but the next door Arthur's house has one, every day Carter will go to fetch water to fill the house water tank, their water comes from that well.
Not only that, but after communicating with the person digging the well, Izumi drew a drawing of the production of a manual water press, and asked the housekeeper to find a blacksmith to make one, and prepared to install it after the well was dug, so that it would be easier to get water in the future than to hang a bucket with a rope.
The order of the marquis's housekeeper, the blacksmith who took over the business immediately made the manual water press, which was not installed by everyone, and the spring had only seen the drawings before and had not actually applied it, and after he tossed and understood it in the well of Aser's words, he took the manual water press up the mountain and installed it on the newly dug well.
And the wood magician that Izumi needed was finally sent by the butler - because the seedlings were all in the yard of Carter's house, the butler naturally sent this magician to him.
It was a fourth-order magician, and it could be seen from his old face that this magician was already a little old, at least a few years old (the people on the Aoou Road had a long lifespan, so they had a long prime of life, and the professional powerhouses were even slower) Such an age is at least a fourth-order magician, obviously he doesn't have much outstanding magical talent.
But this is the most suitable wood-type mage selected by the butler.
"This Master is very obsessed with apothecary, and his magic is almost entirely used on how to cultivate magic plants, and there is no one in the whole of Corot who knows how to grow plants better than him."
There is a specialization in the art industry, and perhaps this magician is not very capable of fighting, but when it comes to the use of magic in plants, he is definitely an authority.
Perhaps he had been told by the butler before he came, but the magician was very indifferent, barely having any conversation with Izumi, and only when he was invited to the backyard to give birth to seedlings, he was born and asked him about the effect he wanted to achieve.
"Is there a different effect?" Izumi, who is still reading an introductory book on magic, naturally doesn't understand the spawning magic that only magicians of the third order or higher can learn.
"Yes, the better the effect of the spawning plant, the more it will drain the plant's vitality, let's put it this way, if I let the seedlings here grow directly to the point where they can flower and bear fruit, which can be doneββ, then after bearing fruit, the plant will immediately die and cannot be resurrected."
"And if you just let them grow up, although the effect is slow, it will not affect their future growth."
"Then just grow up." Izumi didn't hesitate to say that he didn't need a one-time effect, it would be too wasteful.
The magician nodded, and then began to cast his magic.
Izumi saw green energy fly out of his hands, gently sprinkled on the nursery and the pots he had taken down beforehand. The seedlings exposed to this energy shook slightly, and then, like in a fast-playing plant growth video, began to grow from about 10 centimeters to about 20 centimeters in just one minute at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there were several more leaves.
And the magician who had completed the magic turned pale as if he had a serious illness, which was very frightening.
"Are you alright?" Seeing that he didn't look good, as if he was going to fall down at any moment, Izumi was about to help him, but Electrolux had already stepped forward before him and helped the person to the side and sat down.
How can I let Izumi touch other people?
The magician slowed down for a long time, and then he got a lot better, and shook his hand: "It's okay, it's my miscalculation, and I accidentally overconsumed it." β
He was also very frightened in his heart, the growth rate of ordinary plants and magic plants is different, so the energy required to give birth to ordinary plants is much less than the energy used to give birth to magic plants. He had seen that these seedlings had no energy reaction at all, and only thought that they were ordinary plants, so when he cast his magic, he thought that he could do it all at once, so he covered all the seedlings.
As a result, he didn't expect that the energy needed to give birth to these inconspicuous seedlings completely exceeded his estimates, and it was even more than the magic plant, but the magic had already been released, and it would be easy to be eaten back if he interrupted, so he could only use it hard, and it became what it is now.
But then, the magician began to wonder what these plants were. But when he came, the butler said that he would not ask much about anything, so the magician had to regretfully leave with the butler after the rest.
Izumi squatted down in front of the nursery, carefully dug out the fruit saplings and mandarin saplings one by one, pruned the roots to stimulate the development of the root system, and lined them up in the open space on the side.
Behind him, Shanaiduo trimmed the roots of the sapling, which was still carrying soil, into a ball, and then put it into a prepared paper bag for later transplanting.
When Izumi finished pruning a sapling again, and was about to dig it further, a hand reached out in front of him, and his hand, which was always white and clean, had a lot of dirt sticking to it, and the dirt came from the sapling he was holding.
Izumi was stunned, he had been learning aristocratic etiquette with Electrolux recently, and now he knew that this personal guard actually hated dirty, but he didn't expect that he would help him dig saplings with his hands now, which was really unexpected.
Izumi looked up at him, with a smile in his amber eyes, and after saying "thank you", he took the sapling and began to prune the roots.
Electrolux smiled a little bit at his smile, and only after Izumi got to work did he lower his head and continue digging seedlings.
The two of them worked together very tacitly, but Rao was so, and it took them a lot of time to process all the saplings, and it was impossible to complete the follow-up work of transplanting today.
"Aren't these removed?" Electrolux asked as he watched Izumi replant the saplings he had handed over to the vacant space in the nursery.
Izumi shook his head: "No, the rest of these are not fruit tree saplings, just keep them in the yard." β
Although the seedlings in the nursery have been removed, there are still many seedlings left, and it is a bit reluctant to scatter them and plant them in pots, but Izumi would rather buy a few more pots than plant these seedlings in the mountains.
Because he had already recognized what the seven unknown seeds were from the mysterious gift bag given to him by the proprietress of the seed shop.
There are many species of seven seeds that grow to a height of 20 centimeters and branch branches, some of which are flower seedlings, and some of them are directly grasses.
Now Izumi is sure that the proprietress has also been fooled, because whether it is the flower seedlings or the grass, they are all very ordinary wildflowers and weeds that can be seen everywhere, and no one will plant them at all, and Izumi can't recognize their seeds, because most people don't know what their seeds look like, he has only seen them when they grow up.
It's just that now in a different world, these wildflowers and weeds that used to be everywhere in the PM world have become meaningful.
"Flower seedlings? What kind of flowers are these? "Since Izumi seems to be very fond of plants, Electrolux plans to study this aspect as well, so that we can share a common hobby.
It's just that he doesn't seem to be very fond of Izumi's question, and he says their names one by one with a complicated face.
"The ones on the far edge are fairy flowers, followed by lily roots, walking grass, mimosa buds, cherry blossom treasures, kapok balls, and shuttlecock grass."
Sound familiar? That's right, most of them contain or contain elf names.
Of course, there will be the same name as the elves, because they are the seeds sown by these elves.
And why do these elves bear seeds?
Take the final evolved shuttlecock cotton of the grass attribute and the flying attribute of the elf shuttlecock grass as an example, there is such a sentence in the pokemon illustrated book of shuttlecock cotton.
- It sprinkles spores to reproduce offspring as it drifts.
Yes, these seeds are the offspring of their propagation.
Among the grass attribute elves, there is a small part of them that have a very peculiar way of reproduction, this part of the elves can not only breed offspring by laying eggs like other elves, it can also breed offspring by flowering and fruiting and leaving seeds.
Although most of the offspring bred in this way are really just ordinary plants, there is a 1 in 10 chance that the seeds will actually become pokemon when they grow up.
That's why many people have long believed that the legend of the Fairy Flower, which may give birth to a flower after it blooms, is true.
Because there are really elves born from plants.
In other words, it is very likely that one day in the future, his nursery will be crowded with grass-type elf newborns again.
Just thinking about that scene makes Izumi have a splitting headache.
