Section 30 The Secret Garden
The shape of the bottle is very quaint, and with Lance's eyes, it is impossible to deduce which era it is a magical item.
The pattern on the bottle is unusually messy, as if it had been painted in a hurry by a poor craftsman. A few strange magical words lay out on it, but Lance didn't know a single word. There was a small stopper sealed on top, and he tried to pull it out, only to find that no matter how hard he tried, the stopper never moved, as if it had merged with the bottle.
"What a strange bottle. Lance asked the fox to scan the database, but there was no record of it in the books he scanned. Even the words on the bottle, he couldn't determine what language it was. Compared to the simple lingua franca marked on the Arcane Rings, the bottle is simply mysterious.
He didn't study it for long, and put the bottle away. After all, this is a puppet city full of dangers, and if you want to study this bottle, you can go back and talk about it.
Lance left the rat's nest and came to a wall at the end of the alley.
The wall is so tall that when you look up, you can even give the illusion that the wall is taller than the sky. Coupled with the narrow stone walls of the houses on both sides, it gives people a very oppressive feeling.
He groaned for a moment, reaching out and groping his way through the cold walls.
The rough masonry gave a touch of vicissitudes, and Lance gently stroked the surface of the stone wall, and suddenly there was a low whistling wind in the alley.
"Sure enough, it's the magic wall. Lance was not surprised, he knew that this wind was not an illusion, but a voice from the other side of the magic wall.
As long as he could open this magic wall, he would be able to reach the three great treasures that Regis had told him. According to the apothecary master, the treasure in front of him was a place where an ancient potions expert cultivated magical plants, and countless magical plants were planted in it.
There are even many magical plants that have long disappeared in Ferendor, and once they can be collected, they can be sold for a very terrifying price.
One of Regis's disciples came here after obtaining this information. He managed to harvest a number of magical plants, but on the way back, he was assassinated and left in the puppet city forever. Regisken shared information about the puppet city with Lance in order to have Lance pick a special magical plant for him.
......
"Regis told me that if you find the magic wall, you can open the spell control system. Recalling the Apothecary's explanation, Lance bent down and began to grope beneath the magic wall.
The bricks were neatly stacked there, and after a rough fumbling around, he didn't notice anything.
"Could it be that he's lying to me?" Lance frowned.
There's no reason why Regis doesn't have to deceive him. After all, as a master of apothecary, he should be very hungry for magic plants, and if Lance can pick the magic plants he wants and return alive, it will be beneficial to Regis.
He pressed his ear to the top of the magic wall, and the wind grew louder and louder.
It's not like Regis is lying, it's a real magic wall.
Lance took a half step back and commanded in his heart, "Fox, let Hawkeye scan the magic wall in front of you to see if there is anything out of the ordinary." ”
The powerful genetic chip immediately began to carry out the task. Fifteen seconds later, the fox prompted: "On the upper right, there is a brick that protrudes three millimeters above the rest. ”
Lance immediately took a step forward and pressed his right hand on the brick as the fox had instructed.
He fumbled around the brick, and found that the brick did protrude slightly.
It's just a three-millimeter difference, and when he fumbled for himself, he really didn't feel it.
Lance pressed his palm against the brick and pressed it hard.
That brick miraculously slipped in!
In the next second, the entire magic wall began to tremble.
Lance took a half-step back to check the situation.
All the bricks seemed to come to life in an instant, and they trembled and switched places, like a jigsaw puzzle. One by one, they turned over, and the original color became a variety of patterns, which were recombined with the movement of the bricks.
Half a minute later, a blooming redbud flower appeared on the huge magic wall, with a large line written in Gulen language: "Welcome to Charlotte's Secret Garden!"
A smile appeared on Lance's face. Charlotte's Secret Garden is one of the three treasure troves of the Puppet City that Regis told him.
And Charlotte should be the Potions expert who built this mysterious garden.
Under that line of large characters, there were some thin fonts written in the ancient Analects, and Lance could only see what was written on them when he got closer:
"Rules of the game: In my garden, you can only take three items. With each extra piece, powerful guardians will be sent out in my garden to destroy you who are greedy. If you have faith in defeating my Guardians, it doesn't hurt to take a few more—but trust me, greed is the original sin, and being as generous as I am will not be easily forgiven. ”
The rules of the Mysterious Garden, Lance already knew it, because after Regis's disciples came here, they used a mysterious means of communication to pass this information to Regis.
A person can only take three things, this is the rule set by Charlotte, otherwise the Secret Garden will be enraged.
"If you're ready, please start answering my questions. The text on the magic wall flipped again. The sprinkling of letters makes up a question:
"Which one is more suitable for making a transformation plant potion, black volcanic licorice or alien dragon cypress root whiskers?"
An unusually professional academic question. But that's not going to bother Lance.
He smiled slightly, and wrote on the blank space next to the magic wall: "Neither the black volcanic licorice nor the alien dragon cypress root whiskers are suitable for making transformation botanical potions. The black volcanic licorice herb is violent, not suitable for making benign potions, and the potion made of black volcanic licorice will produce a permanent transformation effect once it is taken by people, which is more like a curse; There are three types of ingredients that are best suited for making Morphing Plant Elixirs: the Hell Tree Fruit, the Wetland Sloth Dragonweed, and the Variety Dragon Scale Flower. ”
A bright light flashed through the magic wall, and a deep voice sounded in Lance's ear: "Welcome to my garden." Take your pick!"
In an instant, the magic wall trembled wildly and slowly left from the center. A path paved with golden cobblestones appeared in front of Reims.
He took a deep breath and walked in with some excitement. The magic wall immediately closed.
......
"Thanks to Regis's information, I went to the servant's library and scanned most of the basic pharmacy knowledge. ”
Walking on the cobblestone path, Lance was extremely happy. If he hadn't been extremely well prepared, I'm afraid he would have had to answer these questions blindly.
The air in Charlotte's Secret Garden is very fresh, and the sky is blue, which is very different from the gloomy hues of the puppet city.
The garden was filled with a strong aura of spell factor, and he even saw a fountain of spells gushing wildly.
The spring water sprayed out runs down the ditches and irrigates the plants in all directions. Everything is thriving.
Most of the plants in this area, Lance does not know a single one. He can only rely on the fox's identification function to complete the most basic identification. Fortunately, the main chip is powerful, and Lance can exploit such a loophole. If you change to someone else, who is not a pharmacy major, I am afraid that you will immediately be dizzy.
Because there are too many magic plants here, you can only take three pieces, and if you don't understand it, you can only take it casually, and it will be difficult to say the value at that time.
After all, although this is the mysterious garden of the Potions Master, it is more often planted with ordinary magical plants.
"Pea flowers, clover adjoining grass, copper wood ......"
Whenever Lance's eyes focused on a magical plant, strange names appeared on the retina of his right eye.
But there are also many plants in the garden that cannot be identified by the fox's database, and Lance knows that most of those plants are very rare or high-grade. The fox is the equivalent of a repository of basic potions knowledge, and it is basically difficult to identify.
He walked around the garden and was also a little dizzy.
"The kind of magic plant that Master Regis wants, I don't know where I can find it?" Lance took out a thin piece of parchment from his bosom.
As soon as the parchment was opened, a vivid three-dimensional image emerged, and it was like a conjoined baby!
Three vivid baby heads, a strange body like a purple potato—that's the magical plant Regis wants.
【Aladdin's Son】...... A magical plant that has become extinct in Ferendor, this plant is said to be able to refine anti-heaven elixirs that can make second-level wizards break through to third-level.
Lance took a closer look, then put the parchment away. He just wanted to continue searching, but at this time, a tall shadow suddenly shook in the distance!
Lance's brow furrowed suddenly: "Someone else in the garden?"
