Chapter 6: Lancelot (Part II)

From this day on, the number of magic plants in Area 13 has changed from forty-two varieties to forty-three.

Gong Hao has one more job - to take care of the strange magic plant that looks like a ghost-faced flower.

Gong Hao found that this flower was indeed not a ghost face flower. Not only is it not a ghostface, but it's not aggressive at all.

As for why it looks like this, Gong Hao believes that this belongs to a protective color of it. The Ghost Face Flower is a notoriously ferocious plant in the Wind Continent, except for humans, there are almost no natural enemies, just think about its terrible toxicity that causes the place where it is located to become a barren land can understand the horror of this flower.

There is no shortage of precedents in nature for some weak creatures to camouflage and protect themselves from being violated by bright colors. And this flower in front of you is clearly like this.

It disguises itself as a ghost-faced flower, so that the vast majority of herbivorous demonic beasts dare not violate it. It's just that it can deceive ignorant beasts, but it can't deceive humans. Lancelot easily saw through its disguise and brought it back to the castle.

To Gong Hao's surprise, this protective color usually only appears on some weak demonic beasts, and a few demonic plants with strong spirituality will also evolve protective colors for themselves, but there has never been a single plant that will make itself exactly the same as other varieties of demonic plants.

The flower in front of him not only made himself look like another flower, but also imitated the most famous ghost face flower, which is a little unbelievable.

Could it be that plants also have wisdom?

He suddenly remembered this sentence: "Desire is the source of wisdom, and feelings are the embodiment of desire." ”

So, does this mysterious flower also have desires?

Thinking of this, Gong Hao immediately took action.

First, the kettle was raised, but the flower did not react, and could not see any movement. Gong Hao added some wet soil to the pot, but it was still the same.

Frowning slightly, Gong Hao muttered to himself: "I don't know what you like, what you hate, or what you're afraid of, but I think if you have wisdom, you should have some basic expressions." If you can't cooperate with me to let me know how to take care of you, then I can only resort to some drastic means. ”

He picked up the big scissors and aimed them at the stem of the flower, making it look like he was going to cut it with a knife.

The flower immediately emitted a magnetic sound, and the entire flower disc began to condense backwards.

Gong Hao smiled with satisfaction.

"Well, now I know how you express your fears, but you don't have a favorite way to express them. It seems that you don't really care about drinking water, so what do you care about? Let me think about what ............ in the swamp."

Gong Hao pondered.

His eyes suddenly lit up: "Spotted poison python, damn it, how did I forget it?"

Gong Hao rushed out and came to the library. He soon found a record of the spotted python. This is a terrifying python, and its poison is no less fierce than that of the ghost-faced flower. However, the saliva of this magical beast has a surprisingly good effect on the growth of some magical plants. Therefore, wherever the spotted python exists, it must be a place where plants and trees flourish.

Is the saliva of the spotted poison python? Gong Hao suddenly understood.

Damn, where are you going to get this saliva?

At that moment, he thought of Lancelot.

It seems that he just defeated a spotted python and brought it back.

—————————————————————

Andrew's brow furrowed deeply:

"Forgive my ears, are you sure I heard me right, a servant wants to send a Sky Samurai to catch a spotted python for him?"

Sky Samurai? That's a ninth-level samurai!

Gong Hao's heart was beating violently, this was already close to the realm of the Holy Realm.

The warriors of the Wind Roaring Continent are ranked, and in addition to the Holy Domain, the highest is the Star Warrior. Below them are the Sky Samurai, the Earth Samurai, and the Sea Samurai. The Sea Samurai are seventh-rank samurai, and those above the seventh rank are also called freelancers. In other words, the general state does not impose regulations on samurai of this rank, but hires them with a lot of money.

Except for the legendary existence of the Sanctuary, I heard that there were no more than five hundred Sky Warriors in the entire Wind Ring Continent. Scattered all over the continent, there may be only a few Sky Samurai in a country.

No wonder he dared to go deep into the central area and defeat the seventh-level poisonous python.

Andrew's eyes were dark when he looked at Gong Hao.

"That's right...... Mistress Andrew. Gong Hao stammered, "You know that the flower was sent by Lord Lancelot, and he needs me to plant it alive." But I found that the flower didn't like to nourish itself with water. It doesn't seem to be sucking nutrients from the soil, because ...... I found that its rhizome was severely degraded and had little adsorption capacity. ”

Andrew looked at the blonde boy in front of him, with his heart, this little guy works hard, hard and serious, and his impression of Xiui is not bad. "So what do you mean ........."

"I think this flower is very peculiar, it seems to have a strong intelligence, so it is also a picky eater. ”

"What I care about is what kind of material it can provide. ”

"It's not very clear at the moment. Yes, Mistress Andrew, I can chop it up right now and leave it to you to study, but you know what if it is of any useful use and we can't find a second flower like this........."

Andrew understood: "Okay, you can go and ask Lancelot to help." He lives by the lake. ”

It turned out that Lancelot didn't live in the castle?Gong Hao was overjoyed, but the next moment he still said with a scared face: "But my lord, you know that the lake is a forbidden place. ”

Andrew said impatiently: "What kind of forbidden place is there, it's just that Lancelot doesn't want others to disturb his cultivation, and we don't want this guy to disturb our work......... Anyway, it doesn't matter where it is, you can go there and find him. You've got the badge here, and the castle warriors won't stop you from getting out. ”

"Thank you, sir. ”

"Still. Andrew glanced at Gong Hao deeply: "If you want to take this opportunity to escape from Purgatory Island, then your fate will be destined to be buried in that jungle." ”

Gong Hao looked confused: "Lord Andrew, why should I run away? I eat well and sleep well here, and my work is not heavy." ”

Andrew smiled with satisfaction: "That's right, you really don't have a reason to run away. Go ahead, you go to Lancelot, bring him this list, tell him it's the amount you'll need tomorrow, and of course, add your spotted poison python. ”

"Yes, Lord Andrew. ”

—————————————————

Lancelot lives in a log cabin by the lake.

The Sky Samurai doesn't like luxury, on the contrary, he likes to get back to nature. The scenery of the lake is beautiful, but the facilities of the wooden houses are very basic.

Gong Hao had heard that many high-ranking samurai lived a simple life, because a life of luxury and lust was the greatest obstacle to human progress. In order to pursue a higher level of martial arts, they almost gave up all their enjoyment and buried themselves in hard training.

Hard work is always the best talent.

Of course, there are always exceptions to everything, and I heard that in the Southern Continent, there is a holy realm where everyone who goes in and out must make a big show, and even when he eats, there are seven or eight attendants to serve him.

Gong Hao felt that the operation of everything has its own track, but human behavior has no logic at all.

Walking towards the lake from afar, before he came to the wooden house, Gong Hao smelled a pungent smell of burning.

It was as if something was on fire.

He hurriedly ran over, only to see a man come out of the hut, it was Lancelot.

It's just that compared with his calm and generous temperament yesterday, Lancelot at this moment is embarrassed. His armor was covered in black ash, and his face was black and white, as if he had just been through a great battle and had been beaten to the ground.

But Gong Hao almost laughed when he saw him like this, he knew too well what was going on.

Sure enough, Lancelot's angry whisper reached his ears: "What the hell, why is it so hard to cook?"

That's right, this great man, who can be called admired even in the empire, has now been defeated by a meal. Annoyed, he took a pot of burnt food out of the house and poured it into the open space on one side.

The area around the cabin was littered with rubbish from the Sky Samurai, and the cabin was not only shabby, but also sloppy.

It seems that excessive study of martial arts has caused this isolated samurai to lose the basic ability of human survival, and under that gorgeous and powerful appearance, there is a hidden imbecile for life.

Gong Hao stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Lord Lancelot." ”

Lancelot glanced at Gong Hao: "It's you?" I remember telling Andrew not to send people to disturb my cultivation at will. What, did you break the castle's rules, or did Andrew become arrogant enough not to take me seriously?"

Despite his embarrassment, Lancelot's tone of voice at the moment was still that of a king. He didn't even have to move his hands, a huge aura had already enveloped Gong Hao's whole body, restraining him from moving at all.

Compared to his inferior life skills, this Sky Samurai's fighting abilities are terrifyingly powerful!

Gong Hao hurriedly shouted: "No, it's not like this, I sent you tomorrow's list on the order of Lord Andrew." ”

The aura disappeared, and Gong Hao finally regained his freedom.

Lancelot looked at Gong Hao and suddenly laughed: "Do you really think I'm going to kill you?"

Gong Hao hurriedly replied, "Lord Lancelot, as the pinnacle warrior of the Empire, of course disdain to attack a lowly servant like me. ”

"Hmph, the pinnacle of samurai...... So what, it's not that he was sent to this desert island to do this kind of Warcraft hunter's job. Lancelot's tone was full of resentment. It is no wonder that such a top samurai should have contributed to the protection of the country and enjoyed the worship of countless people in the country. At this point, he must be at the behest of Hines, and even two of his student assistants can dictate to him.

Gong Hao hurriedly said: "Lord Lancelot, the existence of Purgatory Island is related to the future rise of the empire, and the people who can be sent here are the most trusted and valued people of the country, and it can even be said that they are in control of the fate of the empire, so it can be seen that the empire still attaches great importance to you." What's more, only a warrior like you can deal with those powerful demonic beasts on Purgatory Island. ”

Lancelot looked at Gong Hao: "Very good, you are a very good talker, but there are some things you don't understand." Forget it, give me the list, and go back and ask Andrew to deliver me a meal. ”

Gong Hao handed over the list: "If adults need to eat, maybe I can help." ”

Lancelot looked at him in surprise: "You know how to cook?"

"Yes, my lord, I used to work as a handyman at Baron Harden's house, and I did all kinds of things there, including cooking. ”

"Baron Harden? I remember that there was once a Minister of Ceremonies in the Empire whose surname was Harden. ”

"Yes, Baron Harden is the descendant of that Chancellor. ”

"No wonder you are so polite, it turns out that you came out of the house of etiquette. You must know that in the history of the empire, the elder Harden was known for his stubbornness and stalemate. Lancelot muttered, looking like he knew a lot about the history of the Empire.

"Okay. Lancelot said, "I can try your hand, and it just so happens that some of the flesh of the sword rhinoceros has not yet had time to be spoiled by me." ”

Half an hour later, Gong Hao brought up the roasted sword rhino meat, the color was golden and the aroma was overflowing, and Lancelot's index finger moved.

He tore off a piece and tasted it, with a satisfied smile on his face: "Very good, very tasty, much better than the cook in the castle." ”

"Lord Lancelot, the flesh of the sword rhinoceros is still a bit old, but it is not suitable for a delicacy on the table. And there is not enough spices and spices here, so I can only do whatever I want. I think if I was given the chance, I could have made it even tastier. ”

"Really?" said Lancelot. He really wanted to taste the food that Gong Hao had done his best to make for him.

It's just that the next moment, Gong Hao regretted: "But it's a pity, I can only come today." ”

"Why?"

"Because the poisonous python on the list is actually what I need. That's why Mr. Andrew ordered me to send the list by the way. ”

Lancelot immediately understood: "Is it for the pot of flowers I gave you yesterday?"

"Yes, Lord Lancelot, you have told me to take good care of it, and I don't want to disappoint you, but I am afraid I will not be able to keep it alive without the Spotted Python. ”

Lancelot nodded, "I see. What part of the spotted python do you need?"

"It's saliva. ”

"That's trouble. You know, I'm going to have to catch one alive for you. It's not hard for me to catch one alive, the problem is that it's a seventh-level demonic beast. How are you going to get saliva out of its mouth? Do you think it's a crying grass that you can squeeze with your face?"

Gong Hao immediately sighed with a pitiful face: "Alas, I also know about trouble, but what can I do." I had to risk my death. ”

"Well......" Lancelot frowned and thought for a moment, "Well, for your sake, maybe I can teach you a few hands." ”

As soon as Lancelot's words came out, Gong Hao himself was shocked.

His original plan was to find a way to get along with this Lancelotra no matter what, so that Andrew would definitely treat him even more differently. When he found out that Lancelot was troubled by his cooking, he had already made up his mind to help Lancelot cook every day in exchange for Lancelot's help to him, such as extracting the saliva of the spotted poison python. But he never expected that Lancelot didn't plan to do this at all, he planned to directly teach Gong Hao to cultivate fighting qi and martial arts, so that even if he still couldn't deal with a seventh-level demonic beast, it would be much easier to deal with a demonic beast that was locked up and sealed with most of its abilities.

Happiness sometimes falls from the sky like this, and it always suddenly gives you a higher reward than you expect after you have put in enough effort.

Lancelot's laziness gave Gong Hao a chance to learn vindictiveness, and if he didn't know how to seize this opportunity, he would be really stupid.

The matter was decided, and Lancelot wrote a receipt asking Miyahiro to return to the castle and hand it over to Andrew. From today onwards, Gong Hao will be in charge of delivering the list. In this way, Gong Hao can not only learn from him, but also cook for him, killing two birds with one stone.

Andrew certainly wouldn't object to this - another apprentice has been freed from miscellaneous servitude.

In this way, Huy Gler has one more job - to deliver a list of monsters to Lancelot every day and prepare three meals a day for him.

Before leaving, Gong Hao couldn't help but ask Lancelot a question: "Teacher Lancelot, can I ask you a question?"

"Don't call me teacher, I'm just teaching you some of the most ordinary introductory basics, and as for the higher level things, I'm not going to teach you. Okay, what's your problem?"

"Yes, Lord Lancelot, I just want to know why you have to work so hard to cook every day when you can get food from the castle?"

"Hmph. Lancelot replied with a proud snort: "Who dares to eat what the alchemists make?" Poison, like the puppet, is their housekeeping skill. Of course, they wouldn't dare poison me, but I don't want to eat the food brought by a butcher with bloody hands!"

Rumble!

It was as if a muffled thunder exploded in Gong Hao's mind.
