Chapter 245: Research and Assistance

By the time he came out of the herb garden, Merlin had returned to normal.

"Oh! ~It's great. Merlin touched his face and looked at Green with a smile on his face, "How do I look?" ”

"I didn't expect that lifting the curse would actually be able to lift the taunt effect." Green was a little surprised, "I thought it was a buff boost. ”

"Oh! Oh my God, how is it possible in this world to have a buff effect that makes you beaten? Merlin rolled his eyes in annoyance.

“…… That might be. Green smacked his mouth, "Equipment such as 'increasing the effect of taunt skills' should not be uncommon. ”

"Hmph~" Merlin snorted twice and looked at the pocket in Green's hand, "Then again, what do you buy flower pots and fertilizer for?" Are you going to plant flowers in your bedroom? ”

"Hmm...... I picked up some special seeds from outside the city today and I wanted to try to plant them. Green explained.

"Seeds?"

"Well, yes, seeds."

After returning to the dormitory, Green took out the seeds he had picked up from outside the Great Wall and planted them in three flower pots.

————

Parasitic Magic Vine Seeds: The seeds of the parasitic magic vine are parasitic in the body of living beings, and grow by absorbing nutrients from the corpses of living beings, and are very dangerous plants.

————

Although researching plants or something was just an "excuse", Green decided to do a little bit of pretence, considering that some "true" knight might actually come to his door next week.

Judging from the identification results, this parasitic demon vine needs a corpse to grow, but Green does not believe in evil.

Among the three flower pots, one is infused with chaos magic; A basin that transforms chaos magic into pure magic and then periodically infuses it into the earth; There is also a pot as a reference comparison.

Under Green's careful care, the parasitic vine infused with chaos magic grew at an astonishing growth, filling the entire flower pot in just two days! The magic vine in the pot infused with normal magic power barely sprouted after five days, and the last pot of magic vine seeds planted in the same way as ordinary flowers did not react.

"As expected. Mana causes mutation, so as long as you have enough mana, then the seed will mutate in order to adapt to the environment. And the effect of chaos magic is dozens of times that of normal magic! ”

The results of the experiment were completely expected, and this theory was used by Green when he cultivated the Chaos Mushroom. With the help of Chaos Magic, Green only went through a few generations of cultivation before he successfully cultivated the Chaos Mushroom, which was rich in magical power. By artificially changing the environment to cultivate plants, many strange plants can be cultivated, and in the High Magic environment, this mutation will be faster!

From Green's point of view, those crazy weeds can also be regarded as the defense force of the territory, which can effectively stop the invasion of human ground forces. So Green didn't plan to study herbicides, but rather wanted the plants to become stronger and more lethal.

On the weekend, after breakfast, Green was feeding the magic vines in his room.

"Knock knock~" The door of the room rang.

Greene: "The door is unlocked. ”

The door was pushed open, and Merlin walked in: "Hey~ Green, didn't we say that we were going to my house to find clues to the taunt potion?" ”

"Wait a minute, it'll be right away." Green took some bloody pieces of flesh out of the box and threw them into the vines in the pot. The demon vine writhed in an instant, crushing the meat into a piece of flesh.

"What are you doing?" Merlin couldn't help but ask.

"As you can see, I'm feeding these vines." Green waited for the magic vine to completely crush the meat block, and then threw the next meat piece into it again, "I'm trying to cultivate the carnivorous tendencies of these magic vines, and see if I can cultivate them into meat-eating magic vines." ”

Merlin: "...... You're keeping this kind of thing in your dorm? Ms. Betty would be crazy when she found out. ”

"Oh~ Please, I didn't use magic again. It's just a few potted plants, and it doesn't violate the rules of the dormitory. After Greene finished feeding, he put away the lunch box, "Alright, I've got it." Let's go. ”

Green and Merlin left the dormitory together.

"It feels like it's going to rain." Green looked up at the sky.

"If it rains, stay at my house." Merlin said, "You can sleep with me." ”

"Oh~ I don't want to sleep with a man at all. If it was Rhaenys, I wouldn't mind. ”

"Haha~ It's a pity that Lenys can't go because of something, I originally wanted to introduce her to my mother." Although he said that it was a pity, Merlin's expression did not look like disappointment.

"Maybe your mother will mistake Rhaenys for your girlfriend." Green teased.

"Oh~ I don't think it's likely."

"After all, you just stole your mother's materials to make an 'aphrodisiac' before, and it's normal to suspect that you have a girlfriend outside."

Merlin smiled wryly: "The 'radiant potion' is not an 'aphrodisiac'. And as long as you don't say it, no one knows. ”

"Not necessarily." Green looked at Merlin with a strange expression, "Your mother is a high-level alchemist, right?" ”

"yes." Looking at Green's expression, Merlin couldn't help but have a sense of foreboding in his heart.

Green: "So it shouldn't be too difficult for her to deduce the recipe based on a small amount of ingredients, right?" ”

Merlin's expression instantly stiffened.

Merlin stopped and looked at Green with a horrified face, "Oh...... No! Why didn't you remind me before? ”

"Ha~ You should know your parents better than I do." Green had a look of waiting to see the show.

"Well...... "Merlin thought for a moment, "it shouldn't be that easy to spot." I used to use those materials a lot...... Maybe my mother thought I made a meal out of those ingredients. I used to do this a lot. ”

"Gemstone powder is used in the recipe, right? I don't think it looks like it can be used for cooking. ”

"Oh! Damn, help me find an excuse to fool my parents! Merlin looked a little flustered.

"Hmm...... Let's admit it. Isn't it just the unauthorized use of parents' "sex toys"? Just apologize and admit it honestly, at most it will be criticized for a few words.

As an adult, Green didn't care much about this, but Merlin, as the person concerned, couldn't be as calm as Green.

"Oh! No! Absolutely not! Once my mother knows, something big will happen! ”

"Not really, right?" Green looked at Merlin strangely, "I heard your introduction before, and I feel that your parents are quite open-minded." ”

"Enlightened?" Merlin's face was incredulous, "Why did you have such an idea?" ”

"Isn't that right? If you are the kind of conservative parent, it is impossible to allow your child to use magic herbs without permission. ”

"Oh ~ my God, you actually call that irresponsible behavior 'enlightened'? If it weren't for the fact that they often forgot my food bill, I wouldn't have wanted to touch those things at all! Merlin smacked his mouth, "No! If you can't hide it, then say that I brought those materials for you. ”

Green blinked: "Help me bring it?" ”

"Please! Now only you can help me! Merlin looked at Green with a pleading face.

“…… Why are you so afraid of being known by your parents? ”

"Oh! ~I don't want my mother to run to see Shirley-senpai. Please, only you can save me now! ”

"Shirley...... I see. That's why you've been trying to hide it from your parents. Once the matter of the potion is exposed, I am afraid that the matter of what you are chasing Shirley-senpai will also be exposed......" Green smashed his mouth, "Okay, deal!" I helped with that. ”

"Oh~ Thank you so much." Hearing that Green was willing to help, Merlin finally breathed a sigh of relief, "You really are my best friend. ”

"Hey~ If you really want to thank me, help me figure out the real recipe for the taunt potion."

"No problem!"
