"No, your alchemy inscription is wrong, it shouldn't be like this, it should be like this, and then like this!"

"Fool, won't you be lighter? Ten gold coins for a staff, ten coins!

"It's the dead leaves of the sword maple tree, not the green leaves!"

"Dririch, Dririch!, we don't have enough crystals!!"

——

In the laboratory of the alchemy hut somewhere on Emerald Street in the business district, Oliver's loud voice was heard from it, and the old apprentices of the laboratory were accustomed to it, but the new recruits were terrified by the roar.

"It's scary. "A new apprentice had just used the wrong ingredient and was scolded by Oliver for a quarter of an hour, and his face was pale.

The old apprentices around him glanced at him sympathetically, and there was no lack of schadenfreude among them.

They know this all too well.

Mr. Oliver's voice... It's so torturous.

Oliver, the dwarf who was feared by the apprentices, was not unwelcome, he walked around the laboratory with small steps behind his back, and when he saw an apprentice making a mistake, he was reprimanded, and finally he was probably tired of walking, and went to a corner of the laboratory, picked up the water cup on the table, took a big sip, and then lay down on the chaise longue in the corner.

"These little things really don't let me worry, alas. Oliver sighed and picked up the newspaper placed by the apprentice on the table.

"That kid Alan really has a soft spot for this thing, and he drives everywhere he goes, is this thing so good. ”

Muttering like this, Oliver looked at the newspaper with interest.

"Alphemeris 137 August 21, the third issue of the month?"

A line of small print catches the eye, and Oliver is also a frequent reader of the newspaper in Reef City, so he is not surprised by this kind of annotation, unlike some dirt buns in Bay City that can read a word for a long time.

Remembering the stupid appearance of a local mage friend reading the newspaper, Oliver subconsciously grinned and sneered.

[There is still about a week before the start of the annual starry light, and Lord Alan Klich has sent people to cordon off the port area, and the Seagull newspaper reminds the general public not to try to get close to the blockade area lightly, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. 】

"Blockade of the port area because the fish-men came ashore? Remembering Allen's sinister appearance, Oliver snorted.

The mercenaries from the field had inexplicably clashed with the local pirates just a few days after they arrived, and until now they have not finished their work, and there is an increasingly fierce posture, and the location is in the port area. If there was nothing wrong with it, Oliver wouldn't believe it.

"That little thing is insidious, I have to be careful when working with him. Oliver subconsciously sees himself as a pure little white sheep, and he must always be vigilant in the face of evil Alan.

"It's basically stocked up, and it's almost connected, well, it seems that it's time for the official opening. ”

"It's just that the stars are approaching, and the time is a little rushed..."

Mr. Midget pondered the question as he absentmindedly looked at the newspaper

[Everyone knows that the main enemy of Bay City during the starry period is the evil Fish-Man, Xiaobian is very glad that we will only face the Fish-Man and not the stronger Naga, but despite this, the Fish-Man is still not to be underestimated, here, Xiaobian has compiled a list of the weaknesses and attack methods of the Fish-Man, hoping to help some citizens, first .....]

"The editor who eats, who doesn't know what weaknesses the fish people have, I still need to say it. Looking at the fish-man introduction, which took up a large part of the first page of the newspaper, Oliver rolled his eyes, skipped the paragraph, and looked down.

"Oliver's Alchemy Lodge Bay City Branch has purchased the following materials: Moonlight Grass, Wind Wolf Crystal Nucleus, Wind Wolf Fur, Snow Tree Branches, Crystal Mineral Powder... , this information is valid for a long time and pays well, address: Oliver's Alchemy Lodge, 17 Emerald Street. ”

Seeing the advertisements he had published in the newspaper, Oliver's beard trembled, and he looked a little surprised.

Since August, Oliver has been constantly advertising in the newspaper, and the results have been surprisingly good, saving him a lot of time and money.

So he has always been very proud of his unique vision.

"It's a pity that Allen's little cub is too stingy, and he actually collects money for advertising by himself, and his vision is too narrow!"

Snorting indignantly, Oliver suddenly lost the nature of reading the newspaper, and casually left the newspaper and prepared to continue to be his "overseer", but the corner of his eye swept to a certain piece of the newspaper, but suddenly paused.

"Pochi Castle acquires the following materials....?"

"What's new for that little kid Allen?" Oliver couldn't help but think of a possibility.

With a flick of his eyes, Mr. Midget turned and left the lab.

"No, I've got to go check it out!"

——————

The grass is quietly placed on the edge of the study window, constantly swaying under the gentle blowing of the sea breeze, and under the sun, the silver-white grass body glows with a strange light, like colorful and transparent.

At this time, a finger stretched out to the grass, and under the guidance of a strange fluctuation, a wisp of blue-green "smoke" suddenly appeared from the grass, which was wrapped around the finger in a long strip, and then it didn't take long for it to dissipate.

Or rather, absorbed completely.

The memories brought to him by the grass in his mind gradually faded, and he felt a slight increase in his magic power, and Eren sighed softly.

Looking at the faint grass in front of him, but as if it had been washed away, the young mage couldn't help but sigh again.

"It's been less than a month, and my magic power is already five times as strong as it was at the beginning, although most of the reason is because of the power attached to the Wind Lady, but even if you put that aside, the rest is pretty fast, and the elves' meditation methods are really incredible. ”

"If I continue to cultivate like this, I guess I will soon reach the limit of the so-called apprentice, right?"

"How long does it take for a normal mage to reach the limit, a year, or two years, or more?"

"It's a pity that you can only plant one at a time, but if you can plant a lot at the same time..."

Thinking about this unrealistic idea, Alan pulled out a new grass seed from his desk drawer.

This is the seed of the moonlight grass, and Alan can barely find such a seed of plants and trees in the territory for his cultivation, but he doesn't need many kinds of cultivation in the early stage, although one is reluctant, it is enough.

Putting this pitch-black grass seed in the palm of his hand, Alan condensed slightly, and the magic power in his body surged down the palm of his hand to the inconspicuous grass seed under his will.

Blue, gray, yellow, cyan, and green, the colorful magic spread to the entire palm, and then under the guidance of green, it entered the inside of the grass seed along the wonderful lines that were invisible to the naked eye.

With the influx of magic power, the black on the surface of the grass seed slowly faded, and when Eren instilled all the magic power in his body, the surface of the grass seed was no longer black, but turned into color!

The color of Allen's magic.

It wasn't a long process, but beads of sweat were already on Alan's forehead.

Instilling magic power is a delicate job, and the cultivator needs to attach all his will to the magic power, and then use the strange touch of the magic power to find the texture of the seed of plants and trees, and when the cultivator has penetrated the texture of the seed, he can infuse the magic power into it.

Of course, not all plant seeds have this texture, and seeds with texture are rare.

Not all mages can cultivate like this, you have to master the cultivation method, and you also have the talent of an elf and an understanding beyond ordinary people!

As I said before, the touch of magic is false, but this cultivation method requires this false touch to be carried out, which is a very contradictory thing.

Alan also barely succeeded in cultivating, in fact, he felt that if it weren't for the strength of Lady Feng who had led him to this kind of cultivation before, he estimated that he would not be able to enter the door at all for a while.

Planting the colored seeds in the pot prepared in advance, Alan picked up the pot he had absorbed earlier and placed it in the corner of his desk.

Counting this pot, there are already four pots of this small grass there, except for the pot that has just been placed in a dull color, the other three pots of moonshine grass are growing very happily, and the color also tends to be sterling silver.

When Allen's fingers approached, he could clearly see their torso trembling slightly, followed by three joyful emotions. After completing the cultivation, Eren was able to feel their emotions.

It's magical.

In response, Allen's index finger tapped the grass in turn, and as his fingers touched, a little white light shook off the "grass", floating in the air, and finally gathered into a wisp, jumping gently around several grasses, as if dancing.

Magic tricks are of limited use, but they are very versatile, for example, Alan can use them to tease "children".

In return, the "children" exuded a more obvious mood swing, like joy and admiration.

But that's about it.

The grass he had used had no other purpose than to exude emotions, or not for the time being.

However, Alan had a faint hunch that after his cultivation reached the next stage, these little grasses should be able to have a new effect.

"What is it to practice with plants and trees?

Looking at a few pots of moonlight grass, Eren was a little distracted, but it didn't take long for him to be suddenly interrupted from his thoughts.

There was a jolt at his left wrist, and Alan looked down to see a white glow.
