Chapter 31: Brother Bruce
"Shaping things will not be clear for a while, and there is a lot of knowledge that you have not yet touched, and even if I sue you now, you will not understand most of them, but I can show you one of them that should be shown to you. Wren stroked his chin and beard, pleased with Aaron's studiousness.
Wren walked into a room, walked out in a moment, held a test tube in his hand, which contained a light green unknown liquid, and then took out a seed from the small bag around his waist, placed the seed on the tripod, and then dropped the liquid in the test tube on it.
"Hey, that's what Jack did!"
This scene reminded Aaron of the previous situation when Jack made the guide trumpet flower, which was almost identical, the only difference was the color of the liquid in the test tube.
I saw that the seeds were growing at an astonishing rate, like vines, intertwined and entangled, gradually forming the prototype of a chair, and finally really forming a piece of vines.
When the seeds finished growing, Wren explained: "The seeds I just took out are plastic seeds, a kind of vine plant seeds, and the tube of medicine is a molding medicine, under the action of the medicine, it can grow into its own shape, of course, the factor of controlling the shape of the medicine is on the medicine, and different medicine control seeds grow into different shapes. ā
"This is even an application of plant plasticity, of course, using plant-based spells can also promote the growth of seeds and form their own shapes, but if you use potions instead, you can do not consume mana, which is more convenient and faster. Wren explained unhurriedly.
"Teacher, has it always been like this since then?" Aaron asked.
Wren shook his head: "No, no, no, a drop of potion water can only keep the seeds in shape for one day, and if you add another drop from time to time the next day, the vines that have been molded will wither." ā
"Is that the same principle for the guide trumpet flower I brought me here before?" Aaron asked.
"It can be said that Jack has applied a lot of knowledge of plastic energy to make plants move. Wren nodded and replied.
"So it's alive, huh?"
"It's not accurate to say that, it just has the ability to act, but it doesn't have the wisdom yet, the reason why it knows the way to come to me is because it's set, it will only follow the established route, and it will only walk mechanically, so to speak, you can call it a plant puppet!" Wren answered patiently.
"I see!"
Wren's description is very apt and easy to understand, and Aaron basically understands what he means, but he doesn't know what it is.
"Actually, you don't have to be too disappointed in your elemental affinity, although the plant system is not very powerful in combat, it has a lot of magic, maybe you will make new discoveries. After talking about the botanical department, Wren opened his mouth to comfort him, hoping to encourage Aaron.
But Wren himself knew that these words were just saying, and that symbolic encouragement was not very difficult for anyone to achieve in the field of botany.
"Thank you for the teacher's teaching, I will remember. Aaron hurriedly said a word of gratitude.
At this moment, a person suddenly walked into the small hall.
Hurriedly walking in was a young man, about seventeen or eighteen years old, of ordinary appearance, with short red hair, half a head taller than Aaron.
The young man had a smile on his face: "Teacher Rennes, I'm here!"
Hearing the voice, Aaron and Wren looked over one after another.
"Bruce, you're late again!!" Wren saw the young man, took a pocket watch from his body, opened it, and yelled at Bruce.
"Huh, how did the grass on his head turn red?" At this moment, Aaron was surprised to find that the green grass that had grown on Wren's head had changed color and turned red!
"Mr. Wren, I'm very sorry, I promise I won't be late next time!" Bruce quickly lowered his head and apologized, but the expression on his face didn't seem to care much about his tardiness.
"Next time, you say, how many times?" Wren's eyes sharpened, and he stared at Bruce.
When Bruce heard this, he immediately showed a thoughtful expression, and then stretched out three fingers: "Ahhhhhhhhh
"Fart! Don't pretend to be confused, you did it on purpose, this is the thirtieth time!" Wren slapped the table, and the grass on his head became more and more bright red, and the color was darker than at the beginning.
"I'm sorry teacher, I don't have a good memory, and I remember wrongly, it's really thirty times, and I won't be late next time. Bruce quickly slapped his head with the same expression.
"Hmph, if it weren't for your grandfather's sake, I would have let you get out of here!" Wren said angrily, and then continued: "This is my new disciple, his name is Aaron, from today on, he is your junior brother, and you will teach him how to do some things in the botanical garden in the future, do you hear clearly?" ā
"Hear me clearly!" Bruce hurriedly patted his chest and reassured, and then introduced himself to Aaron: "Hello Aaron, it's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Bruce, I will be your senior brother in the future, if there is anything you don't know, just come and ask me, I guarantee that you are satisfied!"
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Senior Brother Bruce!" Aaron saluted back to Bruce, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "How do I feel, this Bruce doesn't look reliable at all!"
After reading Bruce's watch just now, the first impression is that he is a bit of a scoundrel, pretending to be crazy and stupid, and he doesn't pay attention to Wren's lesson at all, otherwise he wouldn't be late 30 times so much, this person is definitely not very reliable.
"By the way, Teacher, Aaron just came here today, do you want me to take him around to familiarize himself with the environment and introduce him to the different areas of Vicky's Garden?" Bruce suddenly thought of something, so he asked Wren for advice.
"Well, it's okay, then I'll give you a day off today and take Aaron to find out the situation. After hearing this, Wren hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
"Teacher, can we go now?" Bruce couldn't wait to get out of here.
"Go!" Wren waved his hand, signaling that they could go.
..............................................................................
After leaving Wren's residence for some distance, Bruce finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Haha, today is an easy day!" Obviously, it was out of lazy attention that he proposed to Wren the errand to take Aaron to familiarize himself with the environment.
Although it was to be lazy, Bruce was still more dutiful, and had the intention to take Aaron to familiarize himself with this place: "Aaron, let me explain to you first, Vicky Garden is divided into many areas, including the restaurant area, the task area, the practical yĆ n area, the teaching area, the library, the trading area, etc., if you want to go to that area first, I will lead the way." ā
"Brother Bruce, I'd like to go to the library. Aaron's greatest desire now is knowledge, and when he heard that there was a library, he immediately positioned it as the first place to go.
"Hehe, it seems that you are really studious, not bad. Bruce looked old-fashioned: "Oh, by the way, you don't need to call me senior brother, just call me Bruce." ā
"Okay, Bruce. Aaron smiled, he didn't expect this Bruce to be quite approachable, and he didn't put on any of his brother's stinky shelves, which was very good.
"Bruce, when will I be able to learn potions and some spells?" Aaron asked as he walked beside Bruce towards the library.
"You can do it anytime, as long as you have the knowledge to buy magic crystals, as for spells, you can't learn them until you are a second-level apprentice, you are only a first-level apprentice now, and you have too much mental power to learn spells. Bruce said nonchalantly.
"Isn't this what Teacher Wren will teach us, why do we still have to buy knowledge?" Aaron listened to it, very puzzled, isn't it normal for this teacher to teach students skills, why do you have to charge!
"It seems that you don't know anything about the profession of mage, mage follows the principle of equivalent exchange, of course, this is in the case of equal strength of both sides, what you want to get, what you have to pay, the master just teaches us some of the most basic things, and the rest of the content is to be paid for. However, if you buy from your own mentor, you will get a discounted price, which is also the benefit of joining the mentor's door. ā
Bruce looked at Aaron with interest, feeling that he was a real rookie, and he didn't even understand the most basic things.
Aaron's brows furrowed when he heard this, but he didn't have a single magic crystal on his body, which was a big problem: "Bruce, how can I get a magic crystal?"
"Do the task, in the mission area, there are tasks released every day, as long as you complete the task, you can get the magic crystal as a reward, or some kind of knowledge. Bruce said casually.
"You don't even have a magic crystal, do you?" Bruce looked at Aaron suspiciously.
Aaron smiled a little embarrassedly: "Hehe, you really guessed it right!"
"Hey, you wait. Bruce sighed, and then touched the bag on his waist: "These ten magic crystals are given, it should be regarded as a gift for you, if you don't even have a magic crystal, it will be a difficult time." ā
The size of the magic crystal, about the same as the nail cover of the little finger, crystal clear, a thin piece, at first glance, it is very good-looking.
"That's not good, just borrow me, and I'll pay you back later. Bruce's generosity touched Aaron a little, and these ten magic crystals are indeed of great help to him now.
"Hey, I don't need to pay it back, it's just ten magic crystals, my grandfather will send dozens of them to me every month, you can take it, how can I say that I am also your senior brother, and I should give you some help." Bruce smiled and said to Aaron that he wanted to pay it back, noncommittal.
