Chapter Eighty-Three: Companion Flowers

The outside world doesn't seem to be so terrifying.

Leaving the Wizard's Tower, the lives of ordinary people may be similar to the ancient times of Thor's previous life.

However, in the next second, Mentor Kaz's words shattered Thor's illusions.

"Those kind of closed carriages are basically transported materials."

"Materials?"

"Most of them are contaminated corpses from the outside world, after all, there are only a few people in the wizard tower. If you were to point to the corpses that were produced in the tower, you would have run out of work for a long time. ”

It's no wonder that many of the corpses have never been seen by Saul.

"Will the surrounding towns take the initiative to send people over?"

"They don't have that strength. Basically, Level 3 apprentices take the initiative to collect contaminated corpses. It can be regarded as protecting the safety of the surrounding territory in disguise. Otherwise, why do you think they are willing to send their children here? ”

Kaz smiled, and it was not clear whether it was more smug or more mocking.

The two of them walked towards the garden.

As they approached, the small window of the wooden house was opened, and a middle-aged man with a sallow face poked his head out of it.

His facial features are flat, only his nose is prominent, very long, like Pinocchio.

It is possible that it was also transformed.

"Good afternoon, Lord Kaz!" He greeted Tutor Kaz warmly.

Kaz nodded in response, then pointed to the man and said to Saul, "That's the gardener, and when you pick the companion flowers, he will teach you how to cultivate them." ”

Thor nodded to the gardener, who smiled back with a mouthful of big yellow teeth.

The two of them walked to the garden gate, just as a gust of wind was blowing, and the aroma of toasted bread entered Saul's nose.

In front of me, it is a garden, but it is actually more like a vegetable patch.

The land is divided into several pieces, on which are planted with flowers. The flower stems are slender, but the buds are not small, and each flower has only two leaves.

Some flowers are in full bloom, and some are still flower bones.

When the wind blows, it looks like rows of big-headed dolls dancing.

The bread aroma is even stronger.

Even though he had already eaten, Thor still felt hungry.

"Mentor, are these all companion flowers?"

Kaz raised his chin, "Both." Associated flowers are just a general term for a class of plants. You see they look different, but the growth process and characteristics are the same. ”

The two of them weaved through the ridges.

Thor always felt that the flowers seemed to be turning their heads with their figures, but he couldn't tell the front and back of the flowers' heads.

"This type of associated flower likes to eat rotten gas. So the general soil is not able to grow. After you have picked the flowers in a while, go to the florist you just now, ask him to transplant them into a small pot for you, and give you a bag of flower fertilizer. ”

Flower fertilizer?

Thor paused.

Was it the kind of flower fertilizer he almost turned into?

"Associated flowers bear fruit almost every six months. Each plant bears one fruit. There are many kinds of fruits, and the probability of what fruit to bear is different, and there is no means of directional cultivation for the time being. Blue is a fruit that increases mana, and red is a ...... that strengthens your physique."

Thor quickly took out a pen and paper from his backpack and began to record.

Kaz glanced at Thor and shook his head, "You should have recorded it a long time ago." Green can detoxify, purple itself is poisonous, if it is white, remember to turn it in to the wizard tower. ”

Thor paused in recording the movements, and after a while Kaz continued.

"Teacher, is there something wrong with the white fruit?"

"That's not it, the white fruit is a stable spirit body, and the tower lacks this. If you can really grow white fruits, it's okay to change to 20 credits. ”

20 credits...... Half a year's salary!

It's worth a lot of money!

Thor looked at the flowers again, and he felt like he was looking at a mountain of gold.

"It's hard to transplant the ones that have already bloomed, so you just go and choose a bud."

"Yes, Mentor." Thor put away his notes and approached the ridge.

There are hundreds of flowers in the flower field, most of which have already bloomed, and a few are in the form of small buds.

When it came to credits, Thor didn't do it quickly, trying to get a companion flower that could produce white fruits through his own observations.

No matter how bad it is, it will be okay to bear blue fruits.

It's just that these flowers grow irregularly. The colors are different, the shapes are different, some are like roses, some are like tulips, and none of them bear fruit.

Everything that should have been the result has been taken away.

Just as Thor was observing, the faint voice of Mentor Kaz came from behind him.

"Rum, do you want you to go to his name?"

Thor stopped and immediately turned around.

After a very brief hesitation, he honestly admitted, "Yes. ”

Kaz nodded, showing no signs of anger.

"I found out too. You chose me as a mentor for another reason. ”

Thor would choose Kaz as his mentor, of course, at the hand of Khonsha. At the beginning, the bottle of potion temporarily improved Thor's perception of dark element particles, and once surpassed the light element, becoming Thor's highest perceived elemental attribute.

This also made Saul, who might have chosen Rum as his mentor, unknowingly choose Kaz.

"Do you regret it now?" Tutor Kaz asked.

"No regrets." Thor responded immediately.

Saying this, it's not just to lick the mentor, Saul really feels that there is nothing to regret.

If it weren't for the opportunity given by Khonsha, Thor wouldn't even be qualified to become an apprentice.

Rather than complaining about Khonsha's calculations, think of it as the price to pay for becoming an apprentice.

This is very much in line with Byron's values.

Kaz pouted and smiled, but his smile was a little cold.

"Yes, you have now undergone a witch body transformation, and you have already leaned towards the dark attribute, so you have no chance to regret it."

Thor immediately felt that the sunlight shining on him was not so warm.

He immediately emphasized: "I really don't regret it, mentor! If it weren't for working in the morgue, I wouldn't have been able to complete the remodel......"

Oops, I almost told the story of enriching my pockets.

Thor hurriedly shifted his attention, "...... And I quite like working in the morgue, which is especially suitable for concentrating on research and study. ”

I don't know if Kaz heard about Thor stealing materials, but the other party's face was obviously much better.

"Alas......" Guru Kaz sighed, hunched over his back and standing with his hands in his hands, "if only all of us had learned to be content, as you did." ”

Others?

Who?

Where is not content?

Ever since he learned the identity of the tower owner, Thor suspected that the work of the morgue might have been arranged for him by the tower owner.

The tower master has asked him to study corpses and souls, how dare Thor disobey?

Moreover, his words were not contrary to his intentions, and the work of the morgue was indeed very suitable for him now.

It's just that I didn't expect Tutor Kaz to make such an emotion.

It made Thor feel a little uneasy.

Whose discontentment could make Mentor Kaz so upset?

Kaz voluntarily terminated the topic, leaving Saul with only a stomach full of questions.

"With your current abilities, there's nothing wrong with working in the morgue. In the future, as long as you can submit all the materials on time, I will pass the test for you. ”

How easy is it to test every month in the future?

"Thank you, mentor, I'll be done."

Thor was worried about how much witchcraft the mentors would ask him to learn during the second test.

He had a lot to learn now, and the study of witchcraft could only slow down.

Saul remembered that the content of Mark's test seemed to be a task test like tidying up the laboratory.

This made him more convinced of his original conjecture:

The Wizard's Tower is not actually a school, but a unit.

The initial rapid learning for apprentices is orientation. After training, new recruits who are not qualified for any job will be dismissed.

The Wizard Tower is a very strict unit, and the dismissed employees must also use themselves as nourishment to shine for the Wizard Tower.

In this way, the two newcomers who left the classroom first and didn't even learn a single compound rune during the initial test were actually very dangerous.

Recall that Thor didn't seem to see them in class today.

They won't be...... Has it been "fired"?

"Thank you, mentor, I will always try to accomplish it." Thor made a serious commitment to his mentor again.

"Hmm." Kaz turned and began to walk back, "You pick slowly, and when you're done, go to the gardener." Just go back to the tower before sunset. ”
