The days that followed became simple and monotonous.

There were so many books in the library that he never had to worry about the day he would finish.

Of course, Gong Hao still spends most of his time in the flower room. As before, he carefully studied the various magic plants in the flower room, observing their living habits, habits, and preferences.

He noticed that these plants were equally emotional, and that they also exhibited pain and fear when he cut off a certain part of their rhizome or squeezed out the sap. And when they take care of them, they will also have fun and laughter.

For example, weeping plants don't always cry, and once he saw them stop crying when there was a pot of weeds next to them.

From that day on, Gong Hao put the weeping grass and the weeping grass together, and as a result, the saliva secretion of the weeping grass increased significantly, and even the materials that the weeping grass could provide also increased significantly.

This allows him to collect many times more at a time than before.

After a day, Gong Hao found a record of the bewitching grass and the weeping grass in the library. The records are not detailed about the survival forms of these two demon plants, but it is mentioned that there is an interesting phenomenon, that wherever there is a weed, there must be a weeping grass. The two never exist separately.

The thought flashed through Gong Hao's mind.

Gong Hao understands one thing very well, the growth of any life is related to the form of survival. The closer it is to the original survival form, the better the organism grows, and vice versa, the worse. In other words, it is likely that the weeping grass and the mesmerizing grass can grow better because of this situation. If you can further deepen your understanding of the original ecology of these plants, it will definitely be of great benefit to cultivate these magic plants.

And the magic plant is the fundamental condition for the existence of all demonic beasts and demonic insects. Many of the monsters are completely due to the destruction of the natural ecology, which caused them to lose the land they inhabited, resulting in extinction. If these magic plants can be cultivated on a large scale, it will not be a dream to restore the glory of alchemy in the future.

He began to consciously prioritize learning everything about demonic plants.

Alchemists usually don't pay much attention to the collection of materials, as these tasks are usually done by apprentices or servants. As a result, there are very few records of these demon plants in the library, but Gong Hao still has a lot of useful things for him.

Through these records, Gong Hao can now optimize the cultivation of the forty-two kinds of demon plants in Area 13. He began experimenting, and the results were almost immediate.

Area 3 has seen a significant increase in productivity, with work that used to take five hours to complete now available in just two hours. Although Gong Hao still has to go to the library every day to do record-taking work, he has more leisure time.

This also amazed many of the servants.

It's just that after the seed of the bloody orchid was buried, it was never unearthed. More than ten days have passed, and there is not even a single small bud, which makes Gong Hao distressed.

Months passed quickly.

According to the rules, Andrew would take a group of servants who did not perform well in their work.

Andrew really didn't take Gong Hao away, but left him behind to continue his work.

Brent, who had bullied Huey and Fink, was taken away.

This time a total of twelve men were taken, and on the same day, the Liberty also sent twelve servants.

Looking at the new servant, Gong Hao suddenly remembered something.

He remembered that the Liberty had traveled the sea for five days before reaching Purgatory Island, and that Huigler had been bought by the gold-armored warrior Chakra seven days earlier, when he and Fink were the twelfth and thirteenth to be bought by Chakra. This meant that Chakra had spent at least three days searching for the young servants he wanted.

In other words, at least ten days before transporting the thralls, the Liberty already knew how many thralls were needed on Purgatory Island.

Considering that the Wind Roaring 6 doesn't seem to have the ability to transmit information over such long distances at the moment, it is likely that at the time of each delivery, Purgatory Island has already informed the Liberty of how many new servants they will need next time.

In other words, they set the number of servants they needed in advance, and then they selected the worst-performing ones of the month to take with them based on that number.

Then the departure of these servants is really not as simple as poor performance......

But where did they go? Gong Hao was desperate to find out.

"Heather. "Gong Hao has come to find Cisher again.

In the past month, Gong Hao has helped Cisher do something whenever he is free, so the relationship with Cisher is quite good.

"Hey, Gler, I'm done with my work for today, you don't need to help me. ”

"Oh, that's a shame. ”

"Nothing, Gler, thank you for your kindness. ”

"Heather, can you do me a favor?"

"Say it, as long as I can. ”

"That's right. I remember every time the Liberty came to make deliveries, we also had to send a group of people over to deliver the finished alchemy of the month to them. ”

"Yes. ”

"Can you send me next month?"

"Why?"

Gong Hao shrugged: "I haven't seen the sea for a month. Locked up in this castle for a month, he suffocated to death. ”

"I thought you only knew work. Heather laughed: "Okay, no problem, I'll arrange for you to go with the others to deliver next month...... The Sea of Death isn't pretty. ”

"By the way, the month you first came, I remember that you have a record of the import and export here, can you let me take a look?"

"Why?"

"Just to see how much we've contributed to the Empire over the years. ”

Heather smiled and agreed, and he found the record and handed it to Gong Hao.

Gong Hao carefully observed the entry and exit records of the past six months, but his attention was mainly focused on the entry and exit of personnel.

After a while, he frowned and said, "Do you only have the last half a year here?"

"Older records are stored in the library, aren't you working there? ”

"Okay, thanks. ”

Gong Hao thought for a moment and then turned back to Heather and said, "Oh yes, Heather, don't tell anyone about this, okay?" I guess Lord Andrew doesn't like people who ask questions everywhere, and I don't want to make him angry. ”

"No problem. Heather readily agreed.

Back in the library, Gong Hao looked serious.

He began to quickly search for the records of all the personnel in and out of Purgatory Island in the past twenty years.

The records are not top-secret documents and are not difficult to find.

To his surprise, in the laboratory of Purgatory Island, the earliest servants were transported as many as forty or fifty people per month. It's just that with the delay of time, the number of people transported gradually decreased.

To his horror, however, none of the servants who had ever worked on Purgatory Island had worked here for more than a year.

Even the best servants were forcibly taken away after only a year of service.

The oldest of all those taken away was sixteen years old.

In addition, there is a strange coincidence - among all the goods that go out, the flesh golem, the undead golem, and the thing called the demon spirit, the amount of goods is the same each time, and each time the number of servants sent is exactly the same as the next month.

What does this mean?

Gently closing the notebook, Gong Hao fell into deep thought.

No matter how deep the unknown fear is in his heart, Gong Hao has only one choice - bury the fear and work hard.

Work is sometimes the best way to forget everything. Perhaps he was so interested in these mysterious sciences that he would forget everything, including the frightening speculations, when he was immersed in them.

Therefore, Gong Hao focused more on the exploration of alchemy knowledge, he tirelessly flipped through the books, and two hours were not enough, so he secretly brought some books out. Later, he took the book back to Area 13 to read, because it seemed that the apprentices didn't care about him doing it.

Today, Gong Hao is burying a book about the production of corrosive potions in the flower room. This potion is commonly used to smear weapons and give them the ability to pierce armor. The Corrosive Flask itself is not difficult to craft, the difficulty is how to keep the weapon from corroding itself after applying the Corrosive Flask. This requires the weapon to be coated with a corrosion-resistant separator before applying the agent. The more powerful the corrosive agent, the higher the requirements for the corrosion resistance of the separator. This sword-shield hybrid design makes it difficult to increase the effectiveness of corrosive agents.

So far, corrosive potions that can be applied to weapons can only be used to break through ordinary armor, and have little effect on some magical armor with good defense.

Gong Hao was watching with relish, analyzing the various ingredients needed to make the medicine and the separator film, and how to proportion, when a deep voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "It's very hard." ”

Gong Hao raised his head suddenly, and at some point there was a middle-aged man wearing a simple armor standing in front of him.

The man was clearly not a puppet, but a real samurai. He has long brown hair, and he has a long sword that shimmers with magical brilliance around his left waist, and his armor has dark blood lines, and you can even feel the huge killing intent emanating from him, which is a kind of awe-inspiring that is not angry and self-threatening!

Gong Hao hurriedly put the book away and said respectfully: "My lord." ”

"Hope it didn't bother you. The middle-aged samurai's face full of vicissitudes glanced at a smile.

"Yes...... You don't. Gong Hao said.

Gong Hao didn't know who the other party was, so he could only use his words carefully and call him an adult and you.

Behind the middle-aged samurai came a man named Ivo. These days, I go to the library every day, and I am already familiar with the apprentices, even Master Pierre has met him once, but he has never seen Hines. At this moment, Ivo said, "This is Lord Lancelot. ”

Gong Hao hurriedly bowed again: "I've seen Lord Lancelot." ”

Come, this is what Neil said, the one who can be called an adult with Andrew and Pie. He thought he was also an alchemist, but he didn't expect to be a samurai.

Lancelot waved his hand, and Ivo brought over a pot of flowers.

The flower grew very strangely, and the blooming flowers were like human faces, but the image was hideous and terrifying, and from time to time it would grin and spit out a bloody red tongue.

"Ghost-faced flowers?" Gong Hao called out.

Ghostface is a very aggressive plant that can release a very toxic gas that is effective against most living things. The alchemists used the sap of the ghostly flower to refine the powerful toxins, and the effect was excellent.

"No, this is no ordinary ghost-faced flower. Lancelot shook his head and said, "You must know that the poison of the Ghost Face Flower makes its growing area always barren, and few magic plants can grow with the Ghost Face Flower. When I showed this flower, I thought it was a ghost-faced flower, but I couldn't figure out why there were so many other magic plants growing around it. I suspect it's not a ghostface at all. ”

"So what is it?" Gong Hao asked curiously.

Lancelot smiled, "That's why I brought it to Area 13." I've heard that the servants in Area 13 are the most relaxed, and even with the job of a clerk, there is a lot of free time to read the alchemy notes every day. ”

"I just want to do a better job at the library. ”

"But you do have plenty of time anyway. From now on, this flower is left to you to deal with. Keep it up, knowing that it's probably a new species. ”

Gong Hao nodded hurriedly: "My lord, may I ask where you appeared this flower?"

"Why do you ask this?"

"I just want to know about its living environment and habits. You know, if it's not just a ghostface that can coexist with other magic plants, then I don't think I can treat it the same way I cultivated it. Learning as much as I can about its habitat is very helpful for my work. ”

Lancelot nodded, "That makes sense. This flower I found in the central area of Purgatory Island, it grows in a swamp, and it is accompanied by a seventh-level spotted python. ”

Seventh-level poisonous python in the central area?

Gong Hao's heart beat a few times quickly and violently.

He finally understood what Lancelot was responsible for here.

He's the one who specializes in catching monsters in the jungle, searching for all kinds of exotic species, and bringing back all the creatures that can provide valuable materials!

Being able to go deep into the central area of the Purgatory Island jungle with the existence of powerful top-level demonic beasts to find new species, this person definitely has absolute strength.
