"Heather. ”

"Yes. Gong Hao replied, "It just so happens that I have time, so I thought to come over and see if you need my help." ”

"Okay, Heather. Gong Hao walked towards the pond.

"Watch out for its teeth, they're very sharp, they're piranhas. Heather cried out, and the caged bear roared impatiently. Heather panicked and threw the large piece of fresh meat and a few pieces of amethyst in his hand. The former satisfies the bear's stomach, while the latter helps the bear heal from its wounds, which have just been drained of a large amount of blood.

After a long period of busyness, Heather finally finished his work, and seeing that it was still early, Heather said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Glare, I used a lot of materials here today, which made me busy, but fortunately you came to help." ”

"Actually, I didn't particularly come to help, but I happened to come to you for something, and I saw that you were busy and I was too embarrassed to disturb you, so I helped you do things first. ”

"I see, what's the matter?"

"I suppose you can give me a pen and a couple of pieces of paper?"

"What do you want that for?" Heather was a little confused.

"It's a list, you know the big guys always talk about what they need tomorrow and then they go, but what if we're so busy that we forget? I think it's better to write it down...... You know I know how to read. ”

Heather understood: "I envy you for knowing words." I'll go to Master Andrew and ask for pen and paper, it's not a big deal. There were very few literate servants here before, so the list of materials was meaningless. ”

"Thank you very much. Gong Hao felt that his greatest luck in crossing over here might be that Xiu Yiglaire knew how to read.

When leaving, Gong Hao said to Cisher: "If you are still busy in the future, you can come and call me at any time." ”

"That's great. Heather said happily.

Early the next morning, Heather brought pen and paper for Gong Hao.

Gong Hao began to record the growth status of various magic plants in his flower room very seriously.

That's right, Gong Hao didn't ask for a pen and paper to record a list of materials, it was just a side effect, his real purpose was to carefully observe, study, and analyze the growth of these demon plants.

There is one thing that Gong Hao doesn't understand.

Even these magic plants in the flower room, many of them are already endangered plants. The servants must take care of them, and while obtaining the materials, they must not let them die. But in that case, why can't we nurture it well?

The great alchemist who has been nesting in the tower all the year round has no habit of sowing knowledge and wealth, and from Xiuyi's memory, Gong Hao also realized that the entire Fengming Da 6 almost lacks this concept of making reserves for the future, they are keen on looting, and they are used to snatching food from others with their strong combat power, rather than self-production.

Perhaps this is the real reason for the decline of alchemy, otherwise these endangered demon plants can completely rise again through artificial cultivation.

Gong Hao tried to take care of these magic plants more carefully.

Today, Gong Hao happily realized that among the forty-two kinds of magic plants under his care, one had matured and blossomed.

The bloody orchid that ate a piece of Gong Hao's flesh has now been rewarded by Gong Hao.

His wounds haven't healed yet.

The bright red demon seed lay in Gong Hao's palm like that, and the red glow of the demon appeared.

If he could grow it alive, wouldn't he have to worry every day that the Bloody Orchid would become extinct once it died?

Do what you think.

Gong Hao went to Heather to ask for a flower pot, Heather asked him what he was doing, Gong Hao answered him, but Heather shook his head and said, "That's completely meaningless, Glare." Bloody orchids are very difficult to cultivate. They are greedy for flesh and blood when they are seedlings, and they need ** flesh and blood. ”

"I can feed them. ”

"But that doesn't mean they'll survive. You must know that every demon plant is spiritual, they cultivate themselves by absorbing elemental essence, and most of them are very delicate in their infancy, and they are very easy to die. Your chances of failure are significant. ”

"But I want to try. ”

"Well, since you're so insistent, then I'll go get you a flower pot for your sake. Heather nodded helplessly.

"It's better to take a bigger one. ”

"Why?"

"I think the spacious environment is good for it. ”

Heather gave him a strange look: "Well, you're such a weirdo. ”

Gong Hao smiled happily.

That night, Heather made her way to Area 13 with a large flower pot.

What I didn't expect was that Andrew also came.

"I've heard that the Bloody Orchid bears a seed, and you're going to grow it alive?" Andrew said in an eerie voice.

Gong Hao thought for a moment and replied very cautiously, "Lord Andrew, I heard that the Bloody Orchid of the Wind Roaring Big 6 has become extinct. I think...... I thought maybe I could grow one plant. In this way, when adults need Bloody Orchid for experiments in the future, they can have more materials to spare. ”

Andrew's face showed a hint of appreciation: "Very good, it seems that you are not only a beautiful child, but also very sensible and good at doing things." No wonder the baroness likes you so much. ”

"Thank you for the compliment, since I'm here, I should do things well. ”

"So how are you going to cultivate it?"

"I've observed the Bloody Orchid during this time, and I see that it prefers a damp and cold environment, so I'm going to move the seeds to a darker corner of the flower room to grow. But I'm not sure exactly how it needs to be nurtured to survive. You know, I still don't have much knowledge about this. ”

Andrew was a little surprised by Gong Hao, he thought seriously for a while before saying, "It's not that no one has tried to cultivate a demon plant like the Blood Orchid, but the vast majority of people have failed. The seeds of the Bloody Orchid are of little use to us, and I wouldn't object if you want to try them. Oh yes, and if you want to know more about the magic plant, I recommend going to the first floor of the Alchemy Tower where you can go in your free time. There's a library there, and there's a lot of books on it. You can look for information that may be helpful to you. ”

"Can I enter the Alchemy Tower?"

It was then that Andrew remembered that the Alchemy Tower was not allowed to be entered by servants. He thought for a moment and said, "I remember you know words, and that's a good thing." I'll give you a choice. The library of the Alchemy Pagoda needed a clerk, mainly to record some experimental data, as well as new discoveries of various materials. Alchemy is a long-standing science, and no one knows when and what kind of new ones we will have, so such a clerk is always in demand. If you were the clerk, there would be an apprentice on Pierre's side who would be relieved of the heavy work of keeping records. But I'm not going to dismiss you from working in Area 13, not to mention the fact that you're going to have to cultivate the Bloody Orchid. If you don't do your job as a clerk, I won't forgive you either. In other words, you will get the opportunity to enter the first floor of the Alchemy Pagoda through extra work, would you like to?"

Gong Hao's eyes lit up with excitement: "I do!"

Of course he would, and it was a rare opportunity for him. Being able to enter the library of the Alchemy Tower meant that he could learn a lot about alchemy. If a magician is represented by powerful magic, then an alchemist is a powerful representative of a wealth of knowledge.

In any case, Gong Hao could not let go of such an opportunity.

Seeing Gong Hao's excited appearance, Andrew muttered softly: "It's an interesting kid." ”

He casually took off a badge from his chest and threw it to Gong Hao: "With this, you can enter and exit the Alchemy Pagoda freely." Anyone who enters without this thing will be killed on the spot by the puppet samurai. But I warn you that you can only walk on one floor. If you dare to enter the second floor...... Hmph, alchemists aren't just puppets. I'll tell you what horror is. ”

He turned away.

Fundamentally, he had no hope that Gong Hao would be able to cultivate the Bloody Orchid. However, it can reduce the workload of an apprentice for the mentor, and it is also a good way to win the favor of the mentor.

The tower in the center of the castle has always been a place of longing for the servants.

Each layer represents a different status.

On the top floor of the tower is the laboratory of the great alchemist Hines. He is like the god of the island, overlooking all living beings and holding this little kingdom in his hands.

Each castle had about 200 puppet warriors, all of whom were under the orders of Hines. At the slightest command, these puppet warriors will kill any target he designates for him.

The strength of a puppet warrior is only about the same as that of an ordinary third-level warrior. In the samurai ladder with ten ranks, such a rank is not very high. But this rank is the most important force of the big 6 countries. Samurai above the third rank, with the gradual decrease in numbers, are not suitable to become the main force of large army operations. Therefore, the main forces of the kingdom are generally composed of three to four rank samurai.

If you let a third-level samurai fight against a puppet samurai, then most of the victories will be the third-level samurai, because the puppet samurai is only a puppet made by an alchemist after all, with low intelligence and lack of flexibility.

But if it is a thousand third-level samurai against a thousand puppet samurai, the one who wins must be the puppet samurai, and it is a big victory.

For the same reason, these puppets have no feelings, do not know fear, are loyal to the generals, obey commands, and will never say a word even if they are asked to commit suicide. Even if they cut off their hands and feet, they will crawl past the enemy to fight.

The only way to destroy them is to dismember them completely.

On the battlefield, such a warrior is undoubtedly popular with the generals. They will not clamore for military salaries, will not cause mutiny, will not cause trouble like a group of veterans, do not even need to eat, drink, only need energy crystals, even in the worst environment to fight will not be tired, even if surrounded by the enemy, there will be no demoralization decadence, let alone a sign of fleeing and retreating, but will only fight to the death.

Because of this, in the process of the rise of the Reims Empire, it took only about 2,000 puppet warriors to defeat an army of 20,000 people. The horror of the puppet warrior can be seen from this. And this is just an ordinary puppet, above the puppet warriors, there are even more terrifying, flesh and blood puppets equivalent to fourth-level warriors. I heard that in the era of the Hundred Years' War, puppets comparable to seven or eight samurai appeared, but unfortunately, with the withering of alchemy, various countries cherished the broom of alchemy, and the production technology of these puppets gradually disappeared.

And the most terrifying puppet in the legend is the troll god built by the great alchemist Electra, whose combat power is even close to that of the top samurai. During those crazy years, Electra once relied on his Demon God Legion to almost sweep the entire Big 6, which shocked the world.

However, with the mysterious disappearance of Electra, the Daedric Legion also disappeared and never saw the light of day. The method of making the Troll God has also been lost.

However, the magic and greatness of the alchemist can also be seen.

Every time he thought of these magical legends, Gong Hao's mood was quite excited.

Although half of the reason he tried to do his best was to try to express himself in order to avoid possible dangers, as his understanding of alchemy deepened, he now began to fall in love with the science himself.

He had been experimenting since his reincarnation, and he was born with a keen interest in this area. Now that he has come to this world, he sees all the strange creatures in his eyes, and he comes into contact with things that he has never thought of, and a large and complex system of science is opening the door to him, so that the more he yearns for solving the mysteries in it.

My father once said that the source of every scientist's success comes from the thirst for knowledge and science. A person who does not have this hunger for knowledge will never become a top master.

And now, standing in front of this vast knowledge school, looking at the hardcover pamphlet in the library, imagining that it contains almost all the magical knowledge of Fengming Da6, he felt a hunger rising from the depths of his heart.

Too eager to learn and understand this knowledge.

"Hey, boy, what are you doing standing there?" a young man in a gray apprentice's robe shouted to Gong Hao.

This call woke Gong Hao from his reverie, and he hurriedly stepped forward: "Is it Lord Neil? I have come to take over the clerk's work on the instructions of Lord Andrew. ”

Neil glanced at this "lowly servant" with contemptuous eyes, and then said coldly, "Don't call me sir. Here, apart from Master Hines, there are only three people who are qualified to be called adults. You can call me Master Neil. ”

"Yes, Master Neil. ”

Obviously he is an apprentice, but he wants to call himself a mage, Gong Hao smiled in his heart. A thought flashed through my mind: There are three people who can be called adults?

In addition to Andrew and Pierre, which other big man is here?

Forcibly suppressing the doubts in his heart, Gong Hao said respectfully: "Then Lord Neil, how should I start working?"

"It's simple. When you come here at noon every day for two hours, someone will tell you the results of the day's experiments, and you will be responsible for recording them, and then sorting them and filing them. If you have a proven way to make it, you organize it into a separate book, put it on the cover, and write down the name. Nothing else. ”

"Yes, Master Neil, I see. ”

"Remember, you have to be as familiar with the material as possible. After all, no one can memorize all the experimental results and data. A lot of times the adults will need to come in and look up the information, and then you have to take all the records to the adults as soon as possible, instead of looking around here. ”

Gong Hao's eyes lit up: "That means that I have to go through all the books here in order to find the information that adults need as quickly as possible." ”

The apprentice named Neil hesitated slightly: "It stands to reason that with your identity, you can't access the high-level alchemy here...... But it doesn't matter, you're ...... anyway."

Neil didn't say anything, but Gong Hao's heart tightened slightly.

Neil continued, "In that case, I think you can feel free to flip through the books here. Well, I can finally get rid of this goddamn paperwork, and I never want to be in this place again. I hate being a scrivener!"

Neil laughed and left, leaving Gong Hao alone in the empty library.
