Chapter 353: Jack's Peas
Chapter 353
"Where do they plant their plants? In the garden? Du Zhengyi followed Liu Ziyu into the corridor and asked as he walked.
Mahjong also came out, taking Guan Xinyue with him, wanting to go and watch a lively scene together.
"Nope." Liu Ziyu said, "The highland mages are used to serving Jiaohua, so they didn't dare to put the seeds outside, and they didn't know what kind of climate and environment this plant preferred, so they still cultivated it indoors." That's a perfect reason in itself, right? ”
"Where did you put that? In the halls? Du Zhengyi asked.
"They already have an active plant room in their hall that can be set up at any time. It just so happened that Master Kava had just finished cultivating a batch of plants and was now idle, so he had been cultivating the seeds brought back by Zhou Quan since yesterday. Liu Ziyu said.
"Particularly successful in the cultivation of results?" Mahjong interjected a sentence next to him.
Liu Ziyu laughed, his expression was a little strange, "If you want me to say, it's unexpectedly good." The highland mage has always been intensively cultivated, and he has too much experience in serving Jiaohua, who would have thought that this time he would encounter a rough flower. It is said that in the past, they had to do a lot of tests and failed many times before they could achieve a little success, but this time, oops, I won't talk about it, you can come and see, anyway, you will know when you see it. ”
There were only a few steps, Du Zhengyi didn't ask again, and in a blink of an eye they came to the end of the corridor, the entrance of the hall.
Guan Xinyue was tripped up, and mahjong was beside him, but he didn't reach out to pull her. She was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly supported her hands on the ground to get up, but her hands grabbed a handful of leaves. She tugged at her hand, and realized that what tripped her was a dark rattan the thickness of her forearm.
Mahjong was completely stunned, his attention was all on the dark green of the room, just like the highland mages who suddenly renovated and repainted the four green walls while they were sleeping last night. "Oh my God, I really protect my eyesight."
Of course, the green walls in the hall are not paint, but plant vines that climb all over the four walls. At first glance, it looks like a huge tree hole in the forest, and the eyes are full of greenery, and it is almost impossible to see what it was. Highland mages weave through the halls, busily emptying out their original furniture and furnishings. A large number of Liu Ziyu's comrades walked around the hall together, most of them were curious and funny, and many of them were leaving the hall after watching the excitement, but new small gangs kept sneaking in.
Du Zhengyi looked up, didn't say anything, and walked straight into the hall. Liu Ziyu stretched out his hand to help Guan Xinyue stand up, and pulled her into the hall. Mahjong followed Du Zhengyi, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, "Why didn't you react at all when you saw such a strange scene?" ”
Du Zhengyi's face didn't change much, and he asked rhetorically, "I didn't put poison or breathe fire, what's strange?" Why should I react? ”
"Ahh Mahjong sighed, "I've forgotten that you're a battle-hardened battle mage, and I'm used to seeing strange scenes. ”
"Are they still growing, though?" Du Zhengyi asked.
Liu Ziyu immediately replied, "It's still long, I just climbed the wall when I went out to look for you, and this will be almost to the ceiling." The floor is also much denser, and in a moment I estimate that the entire surface of the hall will be covered with rattans. ”
Guan Xinyue looked around in surprise and asked her, "Can I pick a leaf?" ”
"Pick it, it's okay." Liu Ziyu said happily, "Master Highland has done all kinds of tests, and they are non-toxic and harmless. However, it is actually a bit too ordinary, and there is no special benefit for mages. Oh, I guess it's useless for humans, and I don't see medicinal value. ”
Although Guan Xinyue was encouraged, she was still a little scared, and carefully reached out and grabbed a leaf, the petiole was very tough, and it took her some strength to tear the leaf off. The leaves were the size of the palm of her hand, not special, a bit like the shape of poplar leaves, ordinary to a little rustic. But the texture of the leaves is much thicker than that of poplar leaves, and they are green, and if you squeeze them hard, you should have a lot of juice.
Du Zhengyi glanced at Guan Xinyue's hand and asked Liu Ziyu, "Although it is harmless, it grows so fast, and it also needs to be controlled." Can't you burn it with fire? ”
Liu Ziyu said, "In principle, it can be burned with fire, but you see that the walls are all precious tapestries, those are things that have been passed down for many generations, no matter how we control the fire, it is impossible to keep the tapestries, and the highland mages are reluctant to set fire to them." And they also burned some in order to adjust the test, and the smoke released when they burned was poisonous. Although it is not a serious poisonous gas, it is enough to bear, and it will definitely not work to burn in a large area. ”
Du Zheng nodded silently, turned his head and looked around again, and said to himself, "The seeds that Zhou Quan brought back." ”
"Ah, but it's a miracle that plants grow so fast." Liu Ziyu explained, "So the highland mage is actually very interested and wants to figure out why it grows so fast. In this respect, it can be considered the most amazing of all the plants of the Highland Mage."
"I think it makes sense that whatever he brought the seed back, it must be meaningful. I am now inclined to think that this incident was not a random event, either it was a conscious choice of Zhou Quan at that time, or it was a conscious arrangement of someone else. Du Zhengyi said in a low voice, suddenly looking at the entire hall suspiciously, and fell into deep thought.
"This is Jack's magic pea." Guan Xinyue whispered, but what she said was very affirmative.
Du Zhengyi looked at him suspiciously.
Guan Xinyue explained, "It's a fairy tale that all human children have read, Jack exchanged his cow for a magic pea, and the pea grew to the sky overnight. Jack climbed up to the sky along the pea vine. ”
Du Zheng looked at a few people around him, and found that the other two magicians did not understand the purpose of this story just like him, and usually the person who told this kind of story and explained this kind of story was Luo Qi. "Where's Roach?"
"He's been with Master Kawa just now." Liu Ziyu said as if he looked at the southeast corner of the hall.
As soon as Du Zhengyi saw that the vegetation was the most lush there, he guessed that it might have been the location of the botanical laboratory. Roach poked his head out of the green leaves and waved at him. Du Zheng and a few people walked towards him, and saw from a distance that the younger of the highland mages were all concentrated there, and Kawa was also there.
