Chapter 20 Cultivating Herbs
Soon, Lothar spread the news that "Blood Rose is about to auction thirty bottles of High Elf Recovery Potion", and this news was like a bombshell, immediately blowing up the entire Sunset City. www.biquge.info Sunset City hadn't seen a high-level magic potion for decades, but I didn't expect it to be the top-level healing potion as soon as it appeared this time, and it was thirty bottles at once, which was like a dream for these border residents. All the big and small forces began to gear up, planning to "do a big job" at the auction, and even the Warrior Guild, the Magic Guild and the City Lord's Mansion couldn't sit still, these three strongest forces in Sunset City have rarely interfered with the battle between the big and small forces in Sunset City, and they almost never compete with other major families for power and profit, but this time, the temptation of the High Elf Recovery Potion is too great, and these three behemoths can finally no longer "stay out of the matter".
........................
These days, Eliman was always busy, he was busy receiving the envoys of the major families who came to visit, he was busy negotiating business with the major trading houses, and he was busy selecting those warriors who wanted to be loyal to the Hunter family. Eliman couldn't remember the last time he was so busy, five years ago, ten years ago, or twenty years ago?
Strangely, although he was busy from morning to dark, Eliman did not feel tired at all, but was full of energy, as if he had endless strength. When he looked in the mirror these days, Eliman was even surprised to find that he seemed to be much younger, and black hair had grown on Bai Huahua's head.
"Mr. Eliman, then I will take my leave, and I will interrupt you today. ”
"Hehe, I'll be there soon, next time, Mr. Dodd. ”
Eliman sent Dodd Creech, the patriarch of the Creech family, outside the gate and watched him board the carriage.
The Creech family is the second largest family in Sunset City, second only to Derek in strength, if before, the Creech family did not take the Hunter family seriously at all, and their patriarch would not be able to visit them. But now, Eliman not only talked and laughed with Dodd, but also signed a large order worth 50,000 gold coins just now.
Seeing off Dodd Creech, Eliman turned back to the main hall, and as he passed the courtyard, he looked at a log cabin in the corner, where Mr. Ender would be by now, if there were no special circumstances.
The cabin had been improvised a few days ago at the request of Mr. Ender, who said he wanted to try artificially cultivated herbs.
Truth be told, Elliman has reservations about Ender's idea. The Hunter family runs a pharmacy in Sunset City, and Eliman naturally has a lot of research on herbs, most of which grow in a very strange environment, and some herbs even grow under the lava or in cold caves that don't see the light of day all year round, and can't be cultivated artificially.
However, after experiencing the "Derek Incident" with Ender, Elliman also has an unconditional trust in Ender, and what Mr. Ender may be able to do what others can't? After all, Mr. Ender has done many seemingly impossible things.
Cultivated herbs Ander is not a casual thought, Gilgalot has done a lot of research before, and left a book of "Notes on Herbal Cultivation", but Gilgalot only stayed at written research, but did not apply theory to practice.
Ender's desire to grow herbs is a precautionary measure, although Gilgalot left Ander a variety of herbs "one mountain after another", but Ander can't sit back and eat empty, one day these herbs will run out.
That cabin is now Ender's "Herb Cultivation Experimental Base", and the first test subject Ender chose was called "Flame Fruit". Grown near volcanoes, this herb resembles the small red flower commonly found on the roadside, and when it reaches maturity, the center of the flower bears a small red fruit, about the size of a fingernail. The flame fruit can detoxify fire poison, and it can also make fire poison, and Ander also unexpectedly discovered that after the flame fruit is crushed and dried to make black particles, it can explode when ignited, which is simply an otherworldly version of gunpowder!
If the Flame Fruit could be mass-produced, once a war broke out, hundreds of explosive packets would be thrown over, and the scene would be absolutely beautiful.
In order to simulate the high-temperature environment in which the flame fruit grows, Ander laid out four magic arrays in the cabin, each of which was centered on a fire attribute magic crystal, continuously emitting high temperatures. It's late autumn now, and it's cool in the morning and evening, but Ender's cabin is like a sauna, and you have to sweat when you go in and out.
For the past few days, Ander has locked himself in this cabin for a day, and he has a lot of work to do: always observe the growth of dragon fruit, measure the temperature of the laboratory regularly, record what happens to dragon fruit under different temperatures and humidity, whether the temperature difference between morning and evening has an effect on dragon fruit, and so on...... Anyway, there was so much to do, and Ender felt that he was a scientist now.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is time to auction off the High Elf Recovery Potion.
In the evening, as the sun set, Rollin walked briskly in the warm yellow courtyard, wearing a beautiful black dress, his neat black curls were obviously well groomed, and his handsome face had an excited and eager look.
He came to Ender's laboratory door and knocked politely.
"It's Rollin, come in. Before Rollin could speak, Ender's voice came from inside the door.
Luo Lin pushed open the door of the laboratory, and a hot wave of air immediately hit his face, and Luo Lin instantly sweated like rain.
It wasn't Rollin's first time in Ender's lab, so he got used to it.
In the laboratory, Ander wore only linen-colored shorts, his gray hair was casually tied back with cow tendons, and he was sweating profusely. He was crouching next to a dead flame fruit, holding a finger-thick notebook in his hand, carefully recording something, and he didn't even look up when Rollin walked into the laboratory.
Rollin was accustomed to Ender's serious appearance, and he stood quietly aside, patiently waiting for Ender to finish.
After a long while, Ender finally stopped the quill in his hand, he stood up, and smiled at Rollin: "Is there something wrong? ”
Seeing Ander's dazed look, Luo Lin said helplessly: "Mr. Ander, today is the day of the auction of potions, have you forgotten?"
Ander's expression was stunned, and then he slapped his head and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Haha, I actually forgot about this matter to death." ”
Luo Lin turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, at this time the sun had completely set, and he said anxiously: "Mr. Ender, now that the auction has begun, you should hurry up and change your clothes." ”
"It's easy to change clothes. Ander said, taking out a gray cloth robe from Crimson Eyes and putting it on his body, even if he had finished changing. Looking at Ender's outfit of ten copper plates, Rollin finally understood why there were always people who mistakenly thought that Mr. Ender was his follower.
"Let's go. Ander patted the dirt off his hands, lifted his legs and walked out of the lab, not thinking there was anything wrong with his dress.
Luo Lin shook his head helplessly and followed.
