Volume 1 The Lonely Arcane Road 011 Nervousness
Maca reads Charlie's manuscript and starts experimenting overnight, and Martin gives him the green light all the way, and even secretly comes up with a third-order natural spell "growth", not hesitating to risk being blamed by Master Ron, but also to facilitate this matter.
Martin's madness is rejected by Maca, who has a background as a gardener after all, and knows that a truly valuable method should be simple and low-cost, and if the "growth scroll" is exchanged for making the weeping grass into a grimace flower, then this method will be useless, because a growth scroll is worth ten times the value of an adult grimace flower.
......
Five days have passed, Charlie has long since adapted to the new life, he is like a dry sponge, greedily absorbing the knowledge of plant cultivation, in order to improve the entire cultivation system, it must be built on the basis of a full understanding of them, at this time, Charlie is working in this direction, through the chip's rapid learning, analysis and modeling ability, try his best to master the knowledge accumulated in the Ron Arboretum.
It has to be said that in the face of more temptations, Martin did not discount his authority, he could see almost all the information of the Botanical Garden, including some of the experiences and experiences published by the purple chapter herbalist, and if Brian knew about Charlie's current situation, he would also applaud his recent witty performance.
In this way, in the calm and usual botanical garden, a botanical expert who combines the theoretical knowledge of the two worlds in the future is trying to accumulate raw capital.
At the same time, Maca's experiment is coming to an end, and when a new batch of grimace flowers bloom before their eyes, the two are shocked, short of breath, their eyes are red, and they are defenseless in the face of a discovery that will go down in history, especially since this discovery will probably bear the names of both of them, and now they are only one step away from this achievement.
After a brief celebration, Martin collected his emotions and forced seriousness.
Martin made a decision: "Prepare well tonight, and go with me tomorrow to meet the Archmage." ”
Maca had an excited expression on her face, and after many years, his chance finally came.
"Okay, what do you need to prepare?"
Martin walked to the mirror and straightened his collar, with an elegant temperament, quite satisfied with the well-dressed man in the mirror.
Martin Zhengse said: "For this discovery, I am the first discoverer, you are the experimental assistant, we were inspired by the 'abandoned elven text' in the Elwin Glade, after three months of painstaking research, testing countless groups of experimental environments, and finally, unearthing the secret of the weeping grass that has been hidden for thousands of years."
This discovery will leverage the entire imperial herbal medicine industry, change the pattern of the imperial strategic reserves, cause shocks in the pharmaceutical market, and even touch the interests of the royal family.
In the face of right and wrong that may affect the overall situation, we are willing to leave the right of discovery to Master Ron, may our botanical garden develop better and better, and may the Archmage go down in history......"
Martin spoke the script in his heart.
Maca hurriedly asked, "Principal, who are you?"
Martin laughed: "You don't understand! What do you think we will gain by just relying on the two of us to poke this discovery out?"
Not only that, but we are also hated by some members of the royal family because we have ruined their business.
This world is like this, when you have no capital, even if you have a good card, you can't play it, you can only hand it over to the people of the upper class to operate, we pick up a little scraps of cold burning, and their leftovers are glorious and rich for us!"
Makarina opened his mouth and spat out a few words: "It's not fair!"
Martin smiled: "Yes, so we have to work hard to climb up, until one day, we don't need to rely on others, we have the capital to operate." ”
Maca swallowed hard and asked, "What about ...... Principal, you haven't told me yet, what do I have to prepare? I ...... The first time I met the archmage, it was a bit ...... A little nervous!"
"I memorized all the terms mentioned in this information, and when the archmage asked, I should be able to open my mouth to answer, especially for the production of organic fertilizer, I feel that it will be a sharp tool, if it is widely used in the entire botanical garden, there may be more surprises to discover. ”
"Good. ”
......
That night, Martin re-transcribed the materials and submitted them to Master Ron's assistant Yolanda, who knew the big guys, the big guys usually don't like to carry out surprise attacks, they need time to digest new things, especially in the face of such an astonishing discovery, one night should be just right, and tomorrow is just the time for his routine report.
At night, Martin looked up at the mage tower in the distance, and saw that the spherical hall in the middle was unusually lit, and he was very proud in his heart, no matter how noble the archmage is, in front of this information, you will also be shocked to lose your temper!
The lights of the Mage's Tower were burning until the middle of the night, and Martin was lying in his bedroom, tossing and turning, looking up at the lights in the distance, and his heart was so excited that it was really hard to restrain himself from imagining what tomorrow would be like, and it was hard to restrain himself from looking forward to a better future.
The answer to the Archmage's choice will be revealed tomorrow, Martin pressed himself to the bed with the greatest perseverance and forced himself into sleep, and tomorrow, he must face the Archmage in the best possible condition.
As expected, at 9 o'clock in the morning, Yolanda appeared in the Botanical Garden, announcing that the archmage wanted to see him, and at this time, Martin and Maca were dressed up, all kinds of materials and experimental samples were ready, just waiting for Yolanda to say hello, and the three of them went to the mage tower together.
Maca looked a little timid, bent down and followed the two, not daring to raise her head at all.
No wonder he was timid, even Martin felt weak in his legs and stomach, he had never been to the mage tower, he only felt that it was a mysterious and profound place, watching those strangely shaped arcane puppets keep clean around the mage tower, looking at all kinds of wonderful alchemy equipment, the mage's world is different from the mortal world, magical, magnificent, and longing.
Martin tried his best to calm his excitement and said, "Lord Yolanda, is the master still satisfied with our work? Can you tell me a thing or two, to be honest, I am in a very nervous mood right now. ”
Yolanda smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, you'll know when you go." ”
Soon, the three of them entered the bottom platform of the Mage Tower, walked up to the circle in the center, and Yolanda pinched his fingers and recited a spell, and the round cake-shaped tray slowly floated, sending the three of them to the magic hall on the middle level of the magic tower, where Master Ron worked.
Master Ron was sitting upright at his desk, facing the three men in the center of the room.
Yolanda bowed: "Teacher, the principal and Maca have been brought. ”
Martin and Maca bowed in the same way, and their nervousness reached its peak, how would the archmage speak? praise himself for his contribution to the Botanical Gardens, or praise himself for his selflessness, or both?
However, Ron remained silent, making Martin's heart pound all the time.
After waiting for a moment, Ron muttered, "For this discovery, you better keep it a secret, and it was also last night that I told my mentor, His Excellency Randolph, about this matter, and I learned that it is a major trade secret belonging to the Empire."
In fact, the royal family has long known that weeping grass and grimace flowers are the same plant, and they have also mastered the cultivation method, but in comparison, your method is cheaper and simpler, which is its greatest value. ”
Hearing this, Martin was very disappointed, which meant that it had lost its greatest significance, and if it was just an improved cultivation method, then the reward would probably be much less.
He should have expected this, since Lancang Mountain has a Grimace Flower, the people in the origin should be able to see its complete transformation process, and after confirming this matter, he is still blinded by surprise, no wonder Grimace Flower is so rare, but the price is not particularly expensive.
"I've read this material and can be described in one word, 'originality,' and many of the concepts in it are new and reasonable," Ron said.
The significance of the discovery of Grimace is secondary, and the real value lies in the knowledge system revealed by this material, which I feel is a new perspective, a new knowledge structure, and if it can be extended downward, it may set off a tide of discussion in the academic community.
I have some questions that I would like to ask you. ”
Here comes the test!!
Martin's heart was beating violently suddenly, the test means the gain, just like the game, the more levels you pass, the richer the rewards, I hope they are well prepared, Martin and Maca secretly exchanged a look.
Ron casually drew a mark in the air, the magic element stopped in the air, the mark was clearly recognizable, and he asked, "I found this symbol in the accompanying picture of this information, I can't understand its meaning, which of you can explain it for me?"
Hearing this question, Martin and Maca were instantly dumbfounded, they made a lot of preparations, word by word, but did not prepare the illustrations, Maca didn't even have any impression of this mark, Martin had a slight impression, because he was responsible for transcribing this information, and the picture was copied by him exactly as it was, and when he copied it, he had a trace of doubt, but he felt that it was a small detail, so he didn't deliberately ask, and he didn't think that Master Ron would ask such a detailed question.
Now, Martin has a deep sense of remorse in his heart, if he had been well prepared, he would not have encountered such a predicament.
Maca was so frightened that she couldn't raise her head, she just shrunk her head, and there were still people on top of her anyway.
Martin's eyes rolled, and he immediately thought of a statement: "I scribbled this mark casually, and it has no special meaning." ”
Ron smiled and asked, "Do you know what symbol it is?"
Martin felt a little unusual, and he explained stubbornly: "I saw it occasionally, I thought it was quite interesting, and I drew it casually, but I didn't expect to confuse the master, it really shouldn't be!"
Ron drew another symbol and asked, "What about this symbol? This is another symbol on the picture, which you also drew casually?"
Martin smirked, "Yes." ”
Ron drew another symbol and said, "Three illustrations, three symbols, you may not understand what they mean, but I can tell you what they mean, they come from the three first-order spells 'Arcane Missile', 'Mana Shield', and 'Hand of Fire', which are one of the key syllable symbols.
Further down, they actually come from different language families, the arcane magic spell is in Stonehuls, and the fire magic spell is in Hudlos, both of which are very old languages, and it's normal for you not to understand them......"
Martin wiped the sweat stains from his forehead and said, "The master said it well, blame me for being troublesome, foolish, I don't understand, and I still draw something, which makes the master laugh." ”
Ron laughed, "No, I don't think it's your original. ”
Ron's bland words were like a thunderbolt, exploding in the hearts of the two.
