67. Ripening
Sitting on the edge of the pool to rest, Ruka smiled and raised his thick feet for me to see, he took off the heavy leather boots on his feet, the soles of the entire leather boots had been burned black by the hot volcanic ash, and the 'petrified skin' on his legs was gradually pushed away, and I saw that the calluses on the soles of Luka's feet had been burned off, revealing the pink flesh pads. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Does it hurt?" I couldn't help but ask Ruka.
Ruka smiled and shook his head, then looked at the other strange plants in the garden and said to me, "Jia, I like it here!"
I was only able to put my hand on his shoulder when Ruka was sitting on the pool terrier with his knees crossed, and he was still too tall for me. As we stood together, my head could barely look at his eight-pack abdomen, his skin was covered with a thick layer of fluff that was so smooth to the touch, my Misoli robe was hanging from the branches of a sour berry tree beside me, I was wearing a white shirt, my sleeves rolled up high, and my hands were red from the hot volcanic ash.
But apparently my state is much stronger than Ruka, for me, this heat is far from comparable to the burning of those fireballs, even if I step on the ash barefoot, I will not feel much pain, although the burn fruit made my childhood miserable, and even crawled back from the brink of death several times, but now for me, it is infinitely useful, my body is immune to the flames, and I can reach into the fire for a few seconds without injury.
The halo of 'hydrotherapy' just disappeared on Ruka's feet, followed by another 'hydrotherapy', for me, drawing a magic pattern circle of hydrotherapy is as simple as breathing, and what is different from other magicians is that I never spare the blue water elemental mana, especially in this water ecological garden, the magic vortex in my body has exaggerated the speed of recovering magic, for me, cast' The mana consumed by the hydrotherapy technique can be fully restored in just a few words.
A piece of ice coalesced in my hand and was thrown to a sweaty and hot Ruka, who was excited to throw it directly into his mouth, and he bit it loudly.
I thought about it again and again, after all, Luka needs to be independent, he needs to have his own ideas, he needs to learn to distinguish between right and wrong, maybe the work in the Shuixi Ecological Park will help him grow up.
So I said to him, "In that case, stay and I'll go and talk to the Abelists......
"Why don't you let him say it himself, maybe I would have preferred him to have a decent request for me, instead of casually saying 'take a walk in the water system ecological park', when did the warriors of the Minotaur clan become less courageous to speak?" The old voice sounded from behind the two of us, and Abel Scholar walked along the ridge, he looked carefully at the flame grass field, and his face softened.
Although Ruka didn't say anything, his breathing became noticeably short, the green tendons on his forehead were bulging, and his face showed an unhappy look.
Abel ignored Ruka, but walked straight up to me and muttered for a moment before he pulled out a scroll of magical parchment from his magic belt bag and handed it to me. Then he said to me, "This is a recipe for 'lava ink', the reward for this work, if you are interested in magic potions, you might as well try to mix a bottle or two, this kind of fire magic ink has obvious shortcomings, but it is very interesting." ”
"I'm not very good at 'magic potions', and I prefer to draw magic scrolls to make magic ink!" I said bluntly to the Abel scholar.
"In that case, you can also exchange it for other rare magic scroll blueprints at some of the Academy's trade fairs, but in exchange, your Minotaur will need to help me take care of these magic herbs in the Water Ecological Park. "Abel Scholar said to me, his attitude was very strong, he didn't mean to negotiate at all, and directly stuffed the parchment scroll into my hand, which is the right of the tutor of the Academy of Magic.
Although I remained silent about the high profile of the Abel scholar, I was not afraid, holding the formula of the 'lava ink' in my hand, and did not rush to open it to take a look, but turned my head to look at Ruka beside me, and asked him, "Ruka, what do you think of this place?"
Ruka looked up at the emerald green plants around him again, this place was like a beautiful garden, these plants that are difficult to grow in the north have an inexplicable attraction for Ruka, he nodded fiercely, and told me that he wanted to stay here.
In this way, I breathed a sigh of relief, because I was a little nervous, my palms were a little sweaty, and the potion formula in my hand was almost wet by me.
But even so, I was still a little worried about Ruka, in front of Abel Scholar, regardless of how ugly his face was at this time, and said everything I wanted to say to Ruka: "If you are unhappy with what you are doing here, or you are bored, and you want to go out, then you must tell me, hold it in your heart, endure it, I have a way to take you out!"
However, it seems that I underestimated the endurance of the Abel scholar, or that I really could not understand the strange temper of the old man, and even if I said these words to his face, there was not a trace of displeasure on the face of the Abel scholar, and then he reached out and took out a small diary of pale yellow wood pulp paper the size of a palm from his coat pocket, tore out a thin sheet of wood pulp paper from it, and took out a small seal from his bosom and stamped it with a blue seal, and then handed it to me.
Not to be outdone, I guessed he might charge me some room and board, isn't that what the Academy of Magic has always done?
A few days ago, I paid a large amount of accommodation fees in the settlement area of the Academy of Magic, and rented a room for Ruka. If it weren't for the fact that Ruka fought with others in the lounge area square the next day because of some trivial matter, maybe Ruka would have stayed in that dormitory building now.
"What is this?" I didn't expect, instead of receiving a bill, I had a blank piece of paper with a simple number written on it, and on it was the personal seal of the Abel scholar.
"Five-point coupon, the price is clearly marked on the task release column above the academy's honor hall, and if you clear the weeds for the flame grass field once, you will get five points. Abel Scholar handed me the point voucher with an indifferent expression, and then said calmly.
Quests, Hall of Honor, Score Tickets...... It turns out that the way for the Royal Academy of Magic to earn points is like this, hearing Abel Scholar say this, I suddenly realized, and then I thought that I must go to the Hall of Honor to have a look if I have time, maybe I can take a little task to earn some points, after all, the magic books in the library of the Royal Academy of Magic need to consume a lot of points.
However, not long after Abel Scholar successfully left Ruka behind, he casually found a reason to send me out of the Water System Ecological Park, looking at that posture, it seemed that he didn't want me to stay longer for a moment, but for me, this Water System Ecological Park was really not necessary to stay except for the middle-level magic herbs in this garden to attract me, obviously in front of Abel Scholar, I couldn't do anything to other magic herbs.
Although it seems that there is still a piece of withered grass in the garden that is approaching maturity, I am very greedy to see it, but I can only sigh and bury my careful thoughts deep in my heart.
When I got up to leave, it was Luke who sent me out, and this guy was like a good baby in front of Abel Scholar, and he would never dare to say a word.
Abel Scholar put on a gentle smile on the head-twister, Ruka, and said to him, "No one has ever been able to remove the weeds from the Flame Grass Field as easily as you, not even those fourth-year students who are about to graduate, and they will not do a better job than you......
I couldn't help but complain to myself in my heart: Is it okay to weed Lao Tzu just now?
It was far away from the Abel scholars, and Luke breathed a sigh of relief and put on a posture of relief.
"You're afraid of him?" I asked Luke as I walked up to him.
Luke confessed to me, "Of course, Lord Abel is usually very strict, but he doesn't seem to like you very much, but he is very interested in your extremely charming Minotaur Hu Servant. ”
"Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he has traveled in the Minotaur tribe before, maybe he thinks it's my reason that will let Ruka stay in the human world, whatever!" I exhaled, lifted a banana leaf in front of me, and said lightly: "I didn't declare his 'Magic Pharmacy' course, when you choose a course in the future, you can also choose other teachers, and he is not the only one in the Royal Academy of Magic who teaches "Magic Pharmacy", it doesn't matter if he likes me or not, it's a big deal that I won't come in the future!" ”
Then I asked Luke, "It's you, how long do you have to stay in this ecological park, isn't it very bitter?"
Luke stretched out his hands, stretched his waist, and said very casually: "It's okay! After all, Lord Abel treats me a little better than everyone else, and I can also learn a lot of potion recipes from him, maybe it won't be long before I will be favored by a wealthy family or an aristocratic family, and someone will pay a lot of money to train me to be an excellent magic apothecary, maybe I will have countless high-grade magic herbs that I can squander at will, and when the time comes, when you see me again, maybe you will call me Lord Luke!"
I didn't think that there was such a lofty ideal buried in Luke's heart.
But then I thought about it, this is not the sadness of focusing the focus of learning on life professional magicians, the road to the future is almost full of unpredictability, for the future growth of life and professional magic craftsmen, it takes a huge amount of wealth to support, and sometimes, you must have a cargo channel, otherwise you have a box of magic crystals, and you can't buy even a mid-level magic herb.
Then, he looked at the pu fan tree on the side a little distracted, seeing that the pu fan tree happened to be the tree that had broken a leaf by the Minotaur Ruka before, and now it was obvious that he could not find the trace of the break, Luke said to me: "I still haven't figured out what kind of magic you used to restore this pu fan leaf to its original state." ”
"It will be a secret of mine, and perhaps one day, this secret will not have to be kept again, and I will tell you the real answer. After saying that, I turned around and walked out of the energy circular arch of the Water System Magic Ecological Park, and took a breath of the outside air, which felt really good.
And I also turned on the magic skill of 'walking on water' again, stepping on the rippling lake and walking slowly, when I turned around and waved goodbye to Luke, I found that Luke was standing at the door with a look of surprise in his eyes, obviously curious about this very rare magic skill, yes, 'walking on water' was inherited from the orc tribe, and only the orc shaman elders knew how to use this magic.
Standing on the surface of the lake, looking at the water system ecological park from afar......
This thick green in the water system ecological park, like a precious emerald gem in the Royal Academy of Magic, there are a few birds in the sky that have been hovering above, but unfortunately the outer layer of magic protection cover, they are gently blocked outside the ecological park, every time they try to swoop down, there will be an invisible force, like an invisible hand, to gently push them out, the outermost strange energy shield of the ecological park, makes me feel very magical.
......
When you come out of the water system ecological park, you immediately return to the dormitory, which has enough private space.
For magicians, it is very disgusting that when meditation is suddenly interrupted, the taste of not going up or down is very uncomfortable, so there is a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door of each room in the magician's dormitory, as long as this sign is turned over and hung up, it is generally not a special emergency, and few people will knock on the door at this time to visit. When I got back to the dormitory, I hung up the sign at the door, and then lowered the curtain on the window of my room.
When everything is ready, take out the magic sealing chest in the magic waist bag.
I picked the last flame grass seed that was about to mature at the end of the seed spike of the twenty strongest phoenix tail flame grasses, and now these twenty immature seeds were safely placed in the magic sealing box, and when I lifted the lid of the sealing box, I saw twenty half-green and half-red flame grass flower seeds lying quietly in the box, and there was still an extremely faint layer of flame on the skin.
Then I took out a metal container and filled it with water, then took out a small bottle of 'Life Essence Diluent', and carefully dripped a drop of liquid into it, the water in the entire container had a faint breath of life, and then I endured the scorching temperature of the flame grass flower seed, and threw a flower seed into the clear water of the metal container.
"Snort", I was slightly excited, my eyes were staring closely at the flower seeds of the flame grass, only to see that the flower seeds fell into the clear water at this moment, although the color became a little darker, but the flame attached to the flame grass flower seeds that sank to the bottom of the water was suddenly extinguished by the water in the container.
A wry smile appeared on my face, and I was silent for a long time as I looked at the lifeless flame grass seeds at the bottom of the container.
