In front of a flat piece of land, Sigma crouched on the ground, holding a seed in her hand, and the blue power of death rose from her hand, carefully reaching for the seed.
Beside him stood a sturdy old white man. The old man's snow-white beard and loose length were almost in unison, he was wearing a simple cloth robe, and holding a plain oak staff in his hand, he looked at the cautious Sigma and said with a smile: "The life force of the druids has many uses, one of which is to quickly spawn plants to attack, defend and bind. Infusing the seeds with the power of life can speed up the growth length of the seeds, and stimulating the seeds with the power of life can induce mutations in plants. Plants mutate in different directions at different amounts, different types of stimulation, and different environments, some of which make them more resilient or resistant to various elements, but most of the mutations lead to worse results...... We know that there is a secret of life in it, but we can't completely decipher it, we can only go down one by one, so that we don't understand its principle, but we can use it......"
Sigma thought of the knowledge of his past life, and while carefully urging the power of death, he replied casually: "I believe that the process of the creatures in this world, whether animals or plants, being conceived and growing in the mother body before they have yet been born, must begin with 'one'. Determining whether we grow up to walk upright or four-hoofed, fly in the air or swim in the water, even strong or weak, smart or stupid, genius or mortal, all depend on the genetic information we inherit from our parents and ancestors, they are stable and unstable, and for various reasons will produce mutations in a very small direction, I think the druid's magic plant manipulation technique is probably such a principle, artificial stimulation directional mutation. ”
The old man was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Your Highness Sigma, you are indeed an excellent young man, your ideas are very close to our basic conjectures about life, Atlas has an enviable genius, presumably Mr. Sargeras must be very happy." ”
Sigma pursed his lips and was about to answer, but he felt a vibration of the seed in his hand, and he threw the seed into the shallow pit that had been dug in front of him, and reached out to close the soil. A few seconds later, a miracle was born, and a green seedling broke through the ground and grew out at a degree visible to the naked eye, but it looked rather strange, and the straight and sturdy green plant was topped with a large yellow head similar to the shape of a hair dryer in the previous life, which was very strange.
…… Damn, I seem to have seen this kind of thing somewhere in my last life!
"Luckily, the occasional attempt seems to have yielded pleasant surprises." Looking at Sigma who was not overwhelmed by surprise, the old man smiled, "Do you feel amazing?" Every necromancer who has tried this little trick finds it magical...... Your Highness, feel it with your spiritual power, and you can try to give it an order. ”
Hearing this, Sigma gave an order according to the skill suggested by the old man, and the magical hair dryer unknown plant shook the whole way, and then a green ball erupted from the black horn, and shot into the open space in front of him with a bang, causing the ground to be dusty.
…… Even the ability is the same, hey!
"The short-range shooting type, the initial power is equivalent to the impact of a second-level flame bomb within thirty meters, and if used in a group, it can form dense firepower." The old man touched his beard, "This is a new direction of mutation, if Your Highness is interested, you can continue to develop its ability, and you should raise a flower and plant, how about it, don't you give it a new name?" ”
The corner of Sigma's eyes twitched, "...... Beanie shooter. ”
"Uh......" the old man coughed dryly twice, revealing this delicate topic, "don't you think it's strange?" ”
Sigma nodded, "Sort of." It's not surprising that the druid's life force can do this, but the necromancer's power is clearly death......"
"That's because life and death are both part of the Great Reincarnation, the two complement each other, the Necromancer and the Druid are both the balancers and guardians of reincarnation, the only difference is that we love life and you embrace death. There is no distinction between the two, there is no difference between good and evil, you see the forest that is full of life, every moment there are leaves falling, life disappears, the bones of the dead fall into the soil, and turn into a new force that gives birth to life, and the decaying colony and corpses are also part of the forest. Master Druid gestured at Beanie Shooter, "So, you can give it new life as well." ”
The Beanie Shooter slowly shriveled and withered and yellowed, and finally turned into a pile of white ash, which the wind blew away, revealing a new seed.
"The plant that has been forcibly catalyzed can already be classified as an alchemical product, and its life cycle is greatly shortened, and if you want it to live longer, you must continue to inject it with the power of death, or implant it in the soil full of negative energy, and water it with negative energy." Watching Sigma build the seeds, Master Druid said lightly, "Your Highness can explore the mysteries on your own, but please remember that plants that have not undergone the awakening ritual and have life but no spirituality, so they can be transformed and used as tools, but animals and even humans have joys and sorrows, they will be grateful, and they will choose to believe that they are spiritual beings, and they must not use this method to blaspheme, otherwise they will definitely be punished and hostile by the world......"
Sigma was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "I don't even want to fiddle with corpses, how could I do such a thing." ”
"Your Highness is kind-hearted, of course I want to believe it, but there is no big mistake in being careful, so I have to be a bad guy." The old man seemed to feel Sigma's sincerity, seemed to be in a good mood, and said with a smile, "If Your Highness still has any questions, you might as well ask more." ”
"There are three questions, first, you said that you have given this spell to many necromancers, so why haven't I taken a similar course at Atlas Academy?"
"It's very simple, doesn't Your Highness think that it takes a bit of magic to catalyze a seed? Necromancers are efficiencyists, and the effects of unoptimized magic plants in actual combat are far less effective than various necromantic summoning techniques, so in their eyes, this spell is just a small trick to broaden their horizons and entertain themselves, and there is no need to include it in the tutorial at all. The druids smiled, not at all angry, "And every time the druids visit the Atlas, they also learn the trick of cultivating plants on fresh and half-rotten corpses to collect seeds, and similarly, few druids are willing to delve into this spell." ”
“…… At least I'm interested in it. Sigma sighed, then asked, "If there is a method of rapid cultivation, why not use it in agricultural production?" ”
"There are several reasons, each druid's mana is limited, even if the secret method of fast catalysis is used to produce food, the output of one day is extremely limited, compared to our total agricultural output, it is only a drop in the penny, there is no need to do this, we sell enough food every year, it is enough to make money. In addition, this method only increases the growth length extremely, and the consumption of soil power is the same, and overplanting will only kill the land. The old man looked into the distance and said gently, "Besides, we don't know if there will be any new changes in the directional mutation of the grains that stimulate the genetic material to be quickly urged, nor do we know whether this new change that may exist will be dangerous to the people who eat it, even if there is no harm in a short period of time, it is not certain that they will not pose a potentially hidden long-term threat to the eater, so we will never use this secret method in production until the results are determined strictly and comprehensively. That's it. ”
"The druids are responsible, and they have a lot more conscience than some people who take money and talk nonsense, really." Sigma said sincerely, "Last question, Your Excellency the High Priest, you see, I have a very good understanding of the life force and the way of nature, I wonder if you would like to accept me as a transfer student?" ”
“…… Clams, the sun is really good today, the old man is going to go to sleep, Your Highness might as well walk around. In the third training ground, Master Dimas is teaching the druid's proprietary scythe martial arts, and in Room 4o8 of the second teaching building, there is a lecture on the power of frost, if you are interested, you can listen to it. Today, an old man, I take the liberty of bothering just to meet you, an excellent young man with a good reputation, and that little trick that is not easy to laugh at is regarded as a shabby meeting gift, and if there is anything you don't understand these days, just come to me. The titular supreme leader of the Druid House chatted and laughed with Sigma for a while, then turned around and left, muttering in a low voice as he walked, "Transfer students? Phew! If you are taken in, Sargeras will call the door the next day......"
