Several people passed the paper copied by Jiayi, and after looking around, several people looked at each other.

Erin said, "Jiayi, are you sure you're right? What useful information is there, it's all a failed method, what's the use?"

Kaichi's eyes widened and he said, "It's a failed method." ”

He took the paper of the records, pointed to the last few records, and said, "Aren't these ones planted?"

Li Wei'er also frowned: "Although he planted it, but all of them were planted on Elf Island, there is no reference value, we can't go to Elf Island to do experiments." ”

"But at least it's planted, isn't it?" said Kaichi, looking at them, "The most important thing in growing plants is the climate and soil, we can simulate the climate of Elven Island in the greenhouse, and the soil is not that important, as long as the nutrients needed by the plants are met." ”

Jia Yi glanced at the rest of the people: "At least he has planted the elf rice germination, which is much stronger than the few words we have read before." ”

"You really can't argue with that. Chester shrugged his shoulders, "All we found before were some legends and rumors, only saying how amazing the elf rice was, and there was no mention of planting at all, this is indeed the only one that planted elf rice to sprout, and even produced seeds." ”

After so many years, there must be more than one Kirby who has tried to cultivate elf rice, but those who can obtain elf rice seeds, even if they are not legendary mages, their identities will not be small, and the notes or materials of these people are relatively precious, and they will not be put in the library for the public to consult.

If they knew who had a record in their notebook, they might get a chance to look through it if they applied to the teacher, but it was never possible to ask them to go through all the books in the academy to find the relevant records of the elven rice.

To be honest, even if the academy has records of other mages, the final effect may not be better than the effect in Kirby's record, because if there is a better effect, the cultivation of elven rice will almost be considered a success, and there will definitely be rumors that the method should be top secret, and it is definitely not something that Jiayi and their group of "little students" can get their hands on.

After all, Queenie has a legendary mage behind her and doesn't know how to do it.

"Then it's good for you to write down the next few successes, and the previous ones are completely unsuccessful, and they can't even sprout what is the use of remembering. Erin was still not convinced, and said stiffly.

Jia Yi shook his head: "How can it be useless, at least we know that these methods will not work, and if we can't make a breakthrough, then the previous methods are also of reference value." Even a failed approach, not necessarily a complete failure, can tell us something. ”

That being said, of course, Kaichi also wants to be able to go to the right path, and doesn't want to seek a way out of the failed methods, but no matter what, be prepared.

Li Wei'er still felt that something was wrong: "But these methods are all successful on Elf Island, can they succeed in the academy? Even if the climate is simulated, the soil cannot be simulated, and we don't know what the land of Elf Island is like." ”

Jia Yi said with some certainty: "No, do you know about Hymond's willow pot experiment?"

"Hymond, you even know Hymond, although this is a classic experiment, but basically it is rarely said about Hymond. Li Weier said.

"I've heard the willow pot experiment go to the teacher, but the introduction is very simple, what does it have to do with this Hymond? Did Master Hymond do it?" asked Chester.

"Hymond isn't a mage, he's a priest. He weighed the soil, then planted a willow tree in a pot, and when the willow tree grew, suddenly it did not consume much, proving that plants grow because of water, not soil, and as long as there is water, plants can grow. ”

Jiayi knows that this conclusion is somewhat arbitrary, and the nutrients in the soil are also essential, but in modern times, the cultivation of plants without pictures has been perfected, and the growth of plants is indeed not inseparable from the soil.

Chester looked shocked and said in surprise, "He's a priest? I thought he was a mage, but why did he study this as a priest, shouldn't he pray?"

As a formal mage, each mage is still relatively familiar with the antagonistic relationship between mages and priests, but in the last few hundred years, the relationship between everyone has eased a lot, and there is not so much tension. But it was surprising to hear that a pastor had done such an experiment hundreds of years ago.

It's really not like the work of a priest, it's more like a mage.

"Who knows, but it is said that the church did not punish him for this experiment, and he became a bishop, but the pastor did not live long, and he died a long time ago," Li Weier said. It is said that the reason why he did this experiment is because in the scriptures of every god, it is said that when the God of Creation created the world, he created water together with the sky and the earth, and he was to prove that water is the source of life. ”

"That's not right, I don't know anything else, but there are elemental life, at least the fire element must have nothing to do with water. Chester retorted.

Li Weier glared at him fiercely, ignored him at all, and continued: "However, some people say that although Hymond is a priest, he does not think that the gods are everything, and he feels that the church has a monopoly on the interpretation of the Bible, which is an obstacle between the believers and the gods, and distorts the meaning of the gods, so he deviantly did this experiment to prove that plants must grow on the soil as the Bible says. ”

"What kind of Bible is this, there are loopholes, and there are still people who believe it. Chester muttered to himself, talking to himself.

No one paid attention to him, but he did find it funny that the interpretation of this experiment was the same experiment, and it turned out to have two completely different meanings.

However, Jiayi's meaning is expressed, as long as there is water and the right climate, soil is not necessary. Although Kaichi himself knew that water alone could not fully provide the nutrients needed for plant growth.

......

After disbanding with everyone, Jia saw that he still had time, and decided to visit his teacher, and by the way, he asked if he gave this material, anyway, he himself felt that this material should not be placed in the public of the library, just like yes, this reduced its value.

Orlando hadn't gotten off work yet, but in the faculty office of the college, Orlando was drinking tea when Jia Yi arrived.

Seeing Jiayi, Orlando was a little surprised: "Aren't you looking up information on planting elf rice, why did you have time to come to my side, is there any problem?"

Orlando poured him a cup of tea, and Jia Yi hurriedly took it with both hands, and after thanking him, he said, "Teacher, you also know, I haven't been here for a long time, so come and visit by the way." ”

Orlando put down the teacup and said with a smile in his eyes, "How could I not know that I was there when Queenie gave you the elven rice seeds, and all the professors knew about it, and many people were waiting to see your jokes." ”

"Ah, no, everyone is so unsympathetic, I'm busy for Elf Rice now. Kaichi took a sullen sip of tea.

As soon as the tea was in his mouth, Jiayi felt a little little, he looked at the tea in the cup, the color was reddish-brown, the taste was mellow and slightly bitter, and it was a little sweet, which was very similar to the taste of Pu'er tea. Although there is tea in this world, it is very precious and difficult to see, at least Jiayi has only heard of it, but he didn't expect to drink it now.

Jia Yi asked curiously: "Teacher, what kind of tea is this, I have never drunk it." ”

Orlando said with a smile: "I haven't drunk it, this is worm tea, which is rare, less than the average number of tea." ”

"Worm tea, why is it called that? Jia Yi looked at the teacup, which Orlando poured out of the teapot, and there were no tea leaves in it, but he didn't feel that it had anything to do with insects, and it tasted very much like Pu'er tea, with a deeply fermented stale aroma.

"Is it called insect tea, of course, it is related to insects, which is made by the larvae of Kasiga exigua after eating bitter leaf tea, and after a long period of fermentation. Orlando tried to speak as lightly as he could, and if he tried to listen carefully, he could hear the evil taste in his tone.

Kaiichi looked at Orlando, the corners of his mouth began to twitch a little, and he said sentence by sentence, "Kazumoth's excrement... Isn't that... ..."

After speaking, he looked at the tea in the cup, and his eyelids began to jump, and the eyelids of both eyes jumped together, one left and one right, full of rhythm.
