============================

"No, how could I!" Jessica knew the rules of the manor, and the slaves in charge of planting were not allowed to steal apples from the apple trees without permission, and Jessica was the kind of person who obeyed the rules and honesty, so naturally she had not stolen apples.

"Take one and taste it. White gestured to the apple basket.

To taste the taste of these huge apples was already on the minds of everyone here, but no one would say it, especially in front of the head of the manor.

Jessica hesitated, but though a little worried, she walked over to get an apple, and everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at her.

Jessica rubbed the apple with her clothes and took a bite of it.

"Click......

The crisp bite was accompanied by a look of joy that everyone was expecting, and Jessica chewed slowly, gradually frowning.

"How's it taste?", asked Director White as Jessica swallowed the mouthful of the apple.

"Not as sweet as regular apples, even a little astringent. Jessica looked blankly at Director White, no longer smiling on her face.

Jessica passes the apple to Zechy, who tastes it. As for the others, Chief White also told them to taste an apple for every two of them.

After everyone tasted it, the result was the same, these apples were not sweet, and even a little astringent.

At this time, everyone no longer has the excitement just now, you look at me, I look at you.

"Influenced by magic, these apple trees grow fast and bear large fruits, but it is precisely because they grow too fast that they do not absorb enough nutrients. So none of these apples taste as good as the apples produced by ordinary apple trees. White explained to everyone.

"Well, it's not that it can't be sold for a good price. Jessica asked anxiously.

Everyone looked at Chief White anxiously.

"Yes, these apples are sold cheaply to some poor people for 1 copper coin at most. And those rich people who know the taste of apples will definitely not buy them. White said, but his face was calm.

Everyone was stunned, if they couldn't sell it for a good price, it meant that the experiment failed, and then Director White would have to accept the punishment.

"Alright, let's get back to work. With that, Chief White walked calmly and leisurely towards the main house of the manor.

Zeqi hurriedly followed, his eyes moist.

"Grandpa White, did you already know that? In order for me to learn how to grow plants and grow trees, you risked being punished by the head of the manor and did this experiment for me, right?" Zeqi had already guessed the answer, but asked anyway, his heart full of gratitude and guilt.

"Zechi, we should be happy. We're actually earning it, aren't we?" White looked at Zeqi's moist eyes and smiled comfortingly, "You see, although we wasted three large plant growth scrolls, and I also had to be punished a little bit by the manor, we made you learn plant growth." One is that you can cast a steady stream of plant growth spells, and the other is a large plant growth scroll that can only be used once, which aspect is more valuable?"

"But, but ......" Although White's explanation is very reasonable, Zeqi is not stupid, the beneficiary of the whole thing is himself, and it is Grandpa White who is punished. At this time, he didn't know what to say, and his heart was full of gratitude to White, and White's image in his heart was getting taller and taller.

"Okay, don't cry, be happy. White wiped the tears from Zeqi's face and continued, "We're not far from a bumper harvest, and we're going to get busy." The harvest is followed by the annual harvest festival, and we need to prepare for the harvest festival at the same time. You'll have to help me this time. ”

"Well, I will. Zeqi nodded effortlessly.

Time flies, three months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the entire Apple Manor has experienced a bumper harvest in these three months, and Zeqi's three months are also the busiest three months of his life on the manor. In the past, he only had to follow his mother to pick and harvest the fruits, but now he helps White handle the work of the entire manor every day, and the refinement is mainly to count and record the number of apples sent from each branch garden, check the work of the staff in the main house, purchase some items needed for the harvest festival, and other chores in the manor. At the same time, every night when he comes home, he helps his mother Jessica pick and carry apples.

Even so, every morning he would still spend a lot of time absorbing some wood elements that were friendly to him to the dantian. Although the wood elements would disappear without a trace every next morning, he felt that these wood elements were probably absorbed by himself, at least he thought so, and he felt more and more obviously that his strength, physical strength, and the ability to recover from injuries were different from ordinary people, and they were constantly improving.

And late at night, he would spend a lot of time practicing everything he knew about magic. It includes practicing elemental perception, elemental control, green light bomb, and plant growth. For elemental perception and elemental control, he felt as if he had reached a bottleneck, and it was difficult to make a big improvement. In terms of mana value, he now only has more than 5 points of wood element condensed at a time, and he has not been able to break through to 6 for three months, which is really accurate for Father Angelo.

However, he has made great progress in green light bombs and plant growth techniques. Green Light Bullet, a spell that doesn't require a magic array map, can now be cast faster and more accurately, and the speed and success rate of plant growth spells are also greatly improved.

After practicing these, of course, he would not forget to condense some wood elements that were friendly to him from the magic plants thorn vines and enchanted grass he planted.

Today, with the help of enchanted grass and plant growth, the thorn vine has grown very large. Zeqi had tested that if he touched it with other objects, the object would be quickly wound by it, and he himself had never been entangled by the thorny vines. Since he has been secretly planting in the house, in order to keep the thorn vines from destroying the furniture and entanglement to hurt his mother. He cut off the side branches of the thorn vines, and now all three thorn vines have only two meters of main branches, and they are planted against the foot of the wall, and he also tells his mother not to approach them easily.

Enchanted grass, as stated in Janice's letter, decreases its lifespan when it absorbs magical elements. Zeqi has observed that without the influence of plant growth, the enchanted grass has a lifespan of about a month when it absorbs wood elements every day, some will wilt and die after laying grass seeds, and some will die early and can't wait to bear grass seeds. Zeqi planted new Enchanted Grass Seeds for the Thorn Vine every month, as these Enchanted Grass would help Zech reduce the amount of time he spent condensing wood elements for the Thorn Vine every day.
