Chapter 32: Poverty

"Then thank you! By the way, is your grandfather also a mage?" Aaron saw this, and no longer shirked.

As soon as he mentioned Bruce's grandfather, he had a proud expression on his face: "That's right, my grandfather is also an official mage, and he is an old friend of Teacher Wren, and he has a good relationship." ”

"I see, no wonder Bruce has a large supply of magic crystals every month. "Knowing that Bruce's grandfather is an official mage, Aaron finally understands why he is so generous, and Wren seems to have a lot of patience with him.

At the mention of Wren, Aaron remembered the grass on his head again, so he asked curiously, "By the way, why does the grass grow on Mr. Wren's head, and it changes color?"

"Oh, you say this, Mr. Wren transplanted a kind of grass to his head, this grass will change color according to the change of his mood, if it is usually green, if it is angry, it will turn red, you have just seen this, if you are happy, it will become blue. Bruce explained.

"It's amazing that plants can be transplanted into the body. After listening to this, Aaron was once again amazed by the wonder of plants.

"What's this, if you've ever seen those transformation maniac mages, it's called perverted and magical!" Bruce didn't think there was anything special about Wren planting grass on his head.

"How?" asked Aaron.

"Those transformation maniacs, some of them put spider legs on themselves, tentacles, limbs of strange creatures and the like, there are so many to go, they are some perverts, but these perverts are really strong, you'd better not meet this kind of person, because there may be some problems after transformation, often mental instability, it's dangerous to get close to them, see this kind of mage, you'd better stay away." Bruce warned.

While chatting and walking, before they knew it, they were in the library, a huge tree with a hollowed out interior and several layers, filled with all kinds of books.

"Great! It's a treasure trove!" Aaron looked at the books on the shelves, his face was excited, with these books, I believe that it will definitely be of great help in the future learning path.

Although it is only some of the most basic and seen theories, and it is very complicated, it is not a problem to have the powerful storage analysis ability of the chip.

After looking at the library, Aaron followed Bruce to other areas for a walk, and of course Aaron kept asking the chip to record the information and draw a map of the interior of Vicky Gardens along the way.

After about three hours, Aaron finally walked around the areas he could go, and finally made his way to the apprentice's accommodation under the guidance of Bruce.

The accommodation area is full of treehouses, row by row, row by row, which looks very neat, and there are also signs hanging on the treehouses, most of which already have owners.

"Aaron, then I'll send you here, I'll live in Treehouse 233, where to find me if there's anything going on. "Bruce came here with Aaron, and he couldn't wait to leave, not knowing what he wanted to do, but he certainly wasn't going to stay in his quarters, or go back to Wren.

"Okay, go ahead, I'll take care of the rest. Aaron Dang smiled faintly.

"See you later!" Bruce said, and hurriedly left the lodging area alone.

The tree house is about 20 square meters in size, with a roof that can be opened and closed, a small balcony on the side, and the basic furniture that should be there, but it is all wooden, which is also the characteristic of Vicky Gardens, all the buildings are wooden, of course, this is not ordinary wood, and its sturdiness is not worse than ordinary stone.

........................................................................

"Now that I've finally stepped into the threshold of a mage, the next thing to do is to become a full-fledged mage as much as I can, and when I get stronger, go to Gandalf and bring Tina back......"

In the room, Aaron lies in bed, contemplating his future course as he pursues the power of the mage in order to explore the world and to retrieve Tina, who was taken by Gandalf.

After some consideration, Aaron ran to the library to collect a lot of basic knowledge, but this was Vicky Garden after all, and he didn't dare to flip through a book at a speed of more than ten seconds, but slowed down a lot, trying not to attract the attention of others.

Time passed in a flash, half a month, this time, Aaron basically stayed in the library except for going to Wren every day to help and taking some free teaching classes.

"This is the last one!" Aaron sat in a chair in the library at night, flipping through the last book he hadn't read.

"Chip, according to the information we have now, find the fastest way to get the magic crystal!" Closing the book, Aaron began to let the chip be organized.

"Drop, task established, analyzing!"

The most basic theoretical knowledge in the library is far from satisfying Aaron's needs, and the most important thing is to obtain those paid knowledge, which requires a large number of magic crystals.

It's not just knowledge that costs magic crystals, but Aaron also needs a lot of magic crystals on the road ahead, and without a strong economic source, it will be difficult to move an inch.

And in this time-interrupted understanding, he found that the ten magic crystals given by Bruce were actually a lot, and many people worked hard to do tasks, spending two or three months, which was about the same income, which shows that Bruce's net worth is not ordinarily rich.

"Sure enough, there is a mage grandfather, and it is smooth sailing on this path. Aaron was a little envious of Bruce, this should be regarded as the rich second generation of apprentices.

"Drop! Mission complete, the fastest way to get the magic crystal: refining potions for sale. "After about a minute, the chip came to a conclusion.

"Refining potions! Sure enough, it's the same as expected, but the knowledge of refining potions is not cheap, and the cost may be huge at first, just the ten magic crystals on my body are not enough at all!"

"Chip, find out what my current financial conditions allow. "Aaron gave up the idea of making a potion for the time being, and now he doesn't have that condition.

"Drip! The current way to do this: get paid for completing tasks, and grow magic plants for sale;" the chip replied again.

"The risk of doing the task is too high, especially for people like me who don't even know a spell, and it's unstable, this method can't work!

Aaron only thought about it for a moment before making his choice.

The magic plant is the abbreviation of the magic plant, which can be used with potions, or as a plant that is the object of spellcasting, and is widely used in the Vicky Garden, such as the shaping vine seeds used by Wren at the beginning, which is one of them, although the price is not as precious as the potion, but it can also bring a certain amount of economic income.

Most of the apprentices here will choose some seeds, after all, it is not very difficult, and the ten magic crystals on Aaron's body are enough to invest in this aspect.

..................................................................

The next day, Aaron went to the trading area to buy some naturally generated, molded vine seedlings, as well as a few fireshell tree seedlings, and finally bought some special planting soil.

Just these things, basically spend his ten magic crystals, in fact, they are mainly spent on the seedlings of the fire shell tree, and this thing will use one of his magic crystals.

There is a reason why the seedlings of the fire shell tree are expensive, the fruit of this plant has strong fire resistance, the fruit shell can be used as a high fire resistance material, and the juice is one of the main materials for refining the bursting agent, and the benefits are relatively high.

Of course, high yield represents high risk, it is very difficult to plant a fire shell tree, and it may wither if you are not careful, generally planting ten fire shell trees, it is good to have two of them grow fruit, so it is normal to have high benefits.

The reason why Aaron used most of the magic crystals on the fireshell tree seedlings was not because of a hot head, but because of careful consideration.

With the powerful analysis capabilities of the chip, as well as the database that has just been replenished, it is not difficult to successfully plant a good fireshell tree, so this high-yield magic plant is worth a try.

The plastic vine and the fireshell tree are planted in the balcony of the tree house, and the next thing is a long wait, the growth cycle of the plant is certain, which Aaron cannot change, and the next time is to take care of it every day, waiting for the time when it can be harvested.

Fortunately, the growth cycle of a plastic vine and fireshell tree is relatively short, and if you take care of it properly, you can harvest it after three months.

During this time, Aaron also had an important task, that is, to master all the 26 symbols in the meditation method and become a second-level apprentice, so that he could learn the most basic level 0 spells.

Aaron originally thought that he would be able to fully master the 26 symbols on the way to Vicky Garden, but the more complex and difficult the symbols became to master, until so far, he had only mastered the 21st symbol, and the last 5 remained.

When you master the 26 symbols, it is equivalent to becoming a second-level apprentice, so that you can have enough mental power to cast a level 0 spell, and Aaron believes that this day is not far off.

After the second-level apprentice, it is the third-level apprentice, and at this time, it is also the focus of the apprentice, and after that, it is to impact the threshold of the official mage.

............................................................

A week later, when Aaron was done with Wren's business, he hurried back to his lodgings, for he had learned some useful knowledge from Wren today, and it was just in time for him to come back and try it.

Aaron also just learned today that some magic plants can be used as a catalyst for other magic plants to accelerate their growth after they are burned to ashes, but this kind of magic plants are rare.

This reminded Aaron of the thorn vine, after this thing was brought, it was hung in the treehouse, set aside, according to Aaron's judgment, the thorn vine has been mutated, it is also a kind of magic plant, you can use it to try, maybe it can be useful.

Back in the treehouse, Aaron cut off a small part of the thorny vine, threw it into a stone vessel, and lit a fire, the flame burned slowly on the vine, but it was obvious that it could be burned, so he waited slowly.
