Chapter 164: Visiting
After saying that, the two principals arrived at the place where the botanical garden was located.
The botanical garden is no longer within the traditional town limits, in a valley in the mountains outside the town, although not too far from the college, it is still quite a long walk. The valley is very large, two or three times larger than the valley where the town is located, but it is not as flat as the place where the town is located, and it is not so much a valley as a small continuous hill, but it is surrounded by tall peaks on both sides, which can also be regarded as a valley.
They stood at the entrance of the valley, and looked down at the buildings in the continuous valley that shone in the sun, and the eyes of the people who illuminated it could not be opened. It wasn't until I went down into the valley that I got better.
"These are, glass greenhouses?" When it got closer, Jia Yi saw clearly, these shining buildings were greenhouses made of glass, not much different from what Jia Yi built in Linden Pine Valley, but they were much more exquisite, and they were not square, and the shape was a little strange, most of them were hemispherical pieces of glass, so they were so dazzling when they were at the mouth of the valley.
Passerbai glanced at Jiayi curiously, but he didn't expect Jiayi to know him.
"These glass greenhouses have only been built in the last two years, and they are said to have come from the south," he said. With a glass greenhouse, the herbs in the botanical garden can span a wider range of temperature differences. Last year, a batch of herbs unique to Leizhou were transplanted in the botanical garden, and now a large part of them have survived and are growing well. Without a glass greenhouse, these herbs would not be able to grow properly, the temperature required would be too high, and our summer here would be similar to the spring there, and it would not meet the requirements. ”
When Jia Yi heard this, he was a little suspicious that it was from his own side, because the Cyber Territory was in the south of the empire, but because of the barrier of the mountains, there was less water vapor and it was colder. But I'm not sure what if it's an illusion, like she likes me.
But Jiayi's feeling is actually not wrong, the greenhouse here does have something to do with him, it was mentioned when Imu and Orlando corresponded, Orlando took the lead in making it, but he actually used it to grow vegetables, for winter consumption, and later spread, so it was used for herbal cultivation. There is nothing technical about the glass greenhouse, at least for the mage, there is nothing difficult, as long as it is a matter of the strength and size of the glass. But with magic, everything is easy to say, and even if you make a greenhouse out of large pieces of glass that are now expensive, it is still very cost-effective in the hands of a mage.
Whoever called the mage doesn't use cheap things.
"The Botanical Garden is the largest place in our college and consists of five parts, mainly the Herb Garden, the Arboretum, the Greenhouse Herb Garden, Greenhouse botanical garden, the last one is to cherish the herb garden, the herb garden and the woody garden are planted to adapt to the local environment of herbs and trees, the greenhouse herb garden is not only planted with heat-loving herbs, but also cold-loving herbs, according to the different environmental requirements, sit in different glass greenhouses, the greenhouse botanical garden is mainly planted with some tropical plants, as for the cherished herb garden, listen to the name to know, some delicate and cherished herbs are planted in it, but there are also many things that are mixed, which is more conducive to their growth. However, the greenhouse has not been built for a long time, so there are relatively few things planted, most of which are produced by Leizhou and Bitter Liverwort. ”
Kaichi looked at the botanical garden in front of him, and at a glance, there were many trees, and most of the herbs and the like were relatively short, and they were not easy to find, as if they were scattered on the ground at random and let them grow. However, there are also some medicinal herbs that are sun-loving and can be planted intensively in a neat field, like a tuft of vegetables. However, most of the herbs in the glass greenhouse are more neat.
Jia Yi looked at a greenhouse in front of him, a little unsure, and said, "Senior, this is a vegetable, right? That is an onion, and purple cabbage, cabbage, and beans, is that lettuce, and garlic sprouts." ”
This greenhouse is not big, and it is only more than 100 square meters, but there are a lot of vegetables planted in it, some Jiayi knows, and some Jiayi does not know, but there are not many of each, and even Jiayi has seen something like cherry tomatoes, but I don't know if it is.
Passerbai came over, saw the greenhouse in front of Jiayi, and said: "What's so strange about this, vegetables can also be used to make potions, and there are teachers in the academy who try to make potions from vegetables, although the effect is not as good as traditional potions, but it will not produce drug resistance." In addition to this, there are several greenhouses that also grow vegetables in it, but unlike this one, which specializes in growing vegetables. Moreover, since the introduction of greenhouse vegetables, the price of vegetables in winter has dropped by almost 4 or 5 times. ”
Seeing Passerbay with a proud face, if there was no last sentence, Jia Yi almost believed it.
"You're going to spend a lot of time with the Botanical Gardens for the next few years. When Paser said this, he sighed a little, and he didn't know what he remembered.
Next, Pasebai took them to visit the "lighthouse" located on the edge of the lake, which is not very convenient to go up and down on a small cliff near the lake. This is actually a mage tower, and some of the more dangerous experiments are carried out in it, with the help of the power of the mage tower to ensure their own safety.
The top of the Mage Tower is indeed a tower lamp, to ensure the safety of ships at night, but when needed, the light of the lighthouse can dispel fog, whether it is magical fog or natural fog.
In addition to the Mage Tower, there is also a tall tower on the other side of the academy, which is a stargazing platform, which is specially built for the mages of the language department. However, Kaichi seems to have seen something like an oversized telescope sticking out of the corner from the top of the observatory, but he can't be sure.
Next, they had lunch in the concentration area, paid the tuition fees in the afternoon, and then allocated dormitories.
Jia Yi asked Passerbai: "Senior, if I don't want a dormitory, can the tuition be cheaper?"
Looking at the tuition fee of 164 gold coins for a year, Jia Yi couldn't help but be a little speechless, he subconsciously counted the money as RMB, but more than one million, this tuition fee is not cheap, but when he thought of being able to learn magic, he felt that it was nothing.
"This is not possible," said Parsebai, "for the teacher had already said in the morning that the first three months of the dormitory must be housed for the convenience of unified management, and this is a tradition of the college, and no one can escape it." After three months, you can live wherever you want, but the tuition fee will not be reduced. ”
This is simply an overlord clause, but this is a seller's market, there is no way to accept it, Jia Yi is very interested in another thing, what tradition takes three months, it will not be a residential school, but why is it three months to live in school, not a semester? Jia Yi feels a little inexplicably subtle, this seems to be somewhat similar to military training, but the other world will never be military training.
"After a long time, you will get used to it, and you can also change your mind, the college's fee does not include accommodation, and when the accommodation is given for free, it feels much better. ”
Jia Yi rolled his eyes slightly, this is a bit like a gift of goods, although it is called a giveaway, but in fact, the cost is included in the price, which can only be regarded as self-deception.
After paying the tuition, Passerbai asked them to take out all their mage badges, perform some operations, and then return them to them, seeing the puzzled eyes of their classmates, they did not explain.
When all this was over, Passerbai said: "Okay, just now I gave your badge permission, now, you are officially counted as a student of our academy, all your authority is in the badge, and there are also your grade points in it, you will have to bring the badge in the academy in the future, some places are to verify the permission, and you will be careful not to wear the badge as an illegal invasion, I don't think you will want to experience it." Now we will start to divide the dormitory, a private room, separate for men and women, and distribute them according to your grades. ”
When everyone stood in line, he pulled Trudy out and said, "Trudy, your grades are too poor, let's share a dormitory with Jiayi, otherwise this semester will be over, I'm afraid it's really dangerous, this is also what the teacher meant." ”
Trudy was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, senior." ”
After speaking, he hurriedly walked to Jia Yi, and in this way, Jia Yi's dormitory was Jia Yi, Jill, Yang Xi and Trudy.
When the dormitory was allocated, Pasebai took them to the dormitory and said, "You can find your own dormitory, there is still some time, you can arrange it yourself, starting tonight, you will live here." Tomorrow morning, gather below, and someone will take you. ”
After saying that, he left directly.
