My Magic Age

Chapter 568 66. Thief

This is a paradise hidden in the Royal Magic Academy. Except that it is a bit hot and humid, there is almost nothing to complain about. I even thought that if I were Abel scholar, I would consider building a small wooden house in the center of the island. If I open the window every day, I can see the flowers blooming in the garden and various herbs exuding vitality in the nursery. It must feel good to grow freely in this corner of the world.

Before seeing this piece of Phoenix Tail Flame Grass, I have been wondering how Abel scholars transplanted these flame grasses that like hot and dry environments into the water system ecological park. Now the mystery has been revealed. It turns out that there is a geothermal zone in the center of this lake island. The reason why some tropical plants can be planted in this ecological park is also because of this reason.

This piece of land, less than 20 square meters, was covered with a thick layer of volcanic ash. A trace of fire element was actually pouring out from the ground through the volcanic ash, and then was completely absorbed by the flame grass that was growing well. The whole piece of flame grass continuously radiated heat to the surroundings. The leaves of the flame grass looked a bit like maple leaves in October, wrapped in a layer of faint flames. This piece of flame grass had already blossomed and produced flower seeds like wheat ears, and these flower seeds were also attached with this layer of faint flames.

I stood two meters away from the Phoenix Tail Flame Grass and could still feel the heat from the flame grass. The young magician Luke standing next to me was a little unnatural. He smiled at me reluctantly, hesitated for a moment and said to me: "Don't get stained with the flames on the leaves and stamens of the flame grass."

He stretched out his left hand and rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt. A striking red scar was wrapped around his arm like a giant centipede. Although the wound had completely healed, the exposed pink tender flesh was still shocking in my eyes.

"Is this a burn?" I asked Luke.

Luke smiled bitterly and nodded slowly. He pointed at the flame grass that was burning like a cloud of fire and said, "I was burned by these flame grasses. I accidentally got a little bit of it. Once the flames on these flame grasses stand on my body, water can't put them out at all."

It can be seen that Luke was still in shock when he told me about his injury at that time, and his face was slightly pale.

"If you can't do it, don't force yourself. This nursery is usually handled by the scholars of Abel University." Luke whispered to me.

I looked at the minotaur Luka and then said, "In this case, at least... try it!"

Seeing that I was very active, Luke didn't dissuade me anymore, and only said, "Of course, if you have decided."

I condensed a ground of water elements at my fingertips. Using water magic in this ecological park was unexpectedly easy. Basically, I didn't need to spend too much magic power to gather enough water elements. The water elements here are really abundant. Watching the water element on my fingertips draw beautiful blue lines in front of my eyes, I casually asked Luke: "If I turn on the ice shield, will these flame grasses be affected?"

Luke stood aside and nodded without hesitation.

I terminated the magic pattern array that had been half drawn in the air, and the light blue water elements dispersed in the air again. I originally planned to use the ice shield to resist the burning of the flames, but now it seems that I was a little naive. Sure enough, these flame grasses are still very afraid of cold.

"Are you a water magician?" Luke asked me with some surprise. Seeing me perform the "water therapy" magic, he judged that I was an expert in water magic.

"Yes!" My eyes were fixed on the flame grass in front of me, wondering how I could complete the task assigned to me by the Abel scholar.

Hearing my answer, Luke seemed very happy and said directly: "That's great, at least when you are burned by the flame grass, you can receive timely treatment."

I don't quite understand Luke's thoughts at this time. He believed that I would be burned by the flames and did not stop it, but he was full of joy because I could get timely help after being injured. This young magician's temperament is really unpredictable!

"..."At this moment, I don't know what to say.

Squatting next to the flame grass, carefully watching these magic grasses that are constantly swallowing and spitting out flames, there are several volcanic ash that are still emitting wisps of black smoke from time to time. Those so-called weeds are like a layer of moss, covering the volcanic ash, and each piece is like a mottled rust on a steel plate. These mosses growing on the volcanic ash are the weeds mentioned by Luke and Abel scholar.

This kind of moss plant called "volcanic red algae" is also a kind of primary magic herb. It is not very rare. You can find its shadow near active volcanoes. This kind of "volcanic red algae" is also a very good ingredient for grinding milky white ink. The fire magic scroll drawn with milky white ink added with "volcanic red algae" will have a slight increase in fire attribute power.

However, it is precisely this kind of primary magic herb that is no different from a weed to the precious flame grass. Moreover, it grows around the flame grass and competes with these flame grasses for the fire elements emitted by the underground lava veins. Not only that, this kind of red mountain red algae covered on volcanic ash will also greatly affect the heat dissipation of this land. This water system ecological park still needs to maintain a stable temperature in late winter and early spring, otherwise the tropical plants in the ecological park will be frozen to death. Therefore, how to eradicate these "volcanic red algae" in the ecological park has become the most distressing thing for Abel and Luke.

Weeding the fire grass field is usually done by Abel Scholar himself. Luke probably didn't expect that this time Abel Scholar would call Luka and me over to clean up these moss-like volcanic red algae. '. I'm a little confused as to how the Abel scholars figured out that I was qualified for this job.

With some suspicion, I squatted on the ridge of the pond and reached out to touch the hot volcanic ash. The heat was like holding a glass filled with 70-80 degree hot water in my hand. Soon there was a tingling feeling, and I tried to turn it on 'Anti-magic' and 'petrified skin', the pale patterns of granite appeared on the entire body. At this time, when I stepped into the field of flame grass again, I could no longer feel the stinging sensation caused by the burning. But a slight warmth.

In Luke's surprised eyes, I stepped on the volcanic ash with one foot deep and one shallow foot, as if walking on a river bed full of fine sand, and walked towards the ridge platform.

Luke stuck out his big butt and squatted next to me like I did. A big calloused hand touched the hot volcanic ash. I could even smell the burnt down on the back of his hand. Luke Standing aside, he said to Ruka: "If it's too hot, don't force it."

Seeing Luka's hesitant expression, Luke's face showed a trace of expectation. At this moment, the expression on his face was somewhat contradictory. He seemed to expect that Luka would not be afraid of the heat of the flame grass, but also expected that Luka would not be qualified for the job. Two completely opposite emotions were twisted together, causing a knot to form on his brow.

At this time, Luka, who was hesitant at first, relaxed his brows and said with a relaxed expression: "The flames of these flame grasses are not as hot as expected!" Unlike the fire resistance attribute of my body, the tauren's It exuded a faint natural aura, and when he got close to a flame grass, the flames on the branches and leaves of the flame grass actually became much weaker.

Luke, who was standing next to the fireweed nursery, watched in amazement as the tauren Luka and I were bending over in a field full of fireweed, shoveling the volcanic red algae on the ridges, talking and laughing. Walk forward little by little along the furrow, His hand threw the shoveled 'volcanic red algae' onto the field ridge. At this moment, Luke's understanding of the burning damage of fire magic became confused again. He also followed Luka and me and squatted on the field ridge. , stuck out his butt and reached out to touch the hot volcanic ash.

"Hiss..." The burning pain immediately spread to his fingertips, causing him to take a breath of cold air. Seeing that his fingertips were burned red, Luke completely gave up his plan to weed with us and could only stand on the edge of the field. On the ground, he watched eagerly as Luka and I walked casually in the flame grass field. In the end, he could only sigh, turned around and walked into the wild steel flower field aside, letting us eradicate the volcanic red algae.

In any batch of crops planted at the same time, a very small number of crops will mature first, and then a large number of crops will mature at the same time. When the harvest is completed, there will still be green seedlings falling.

I never thought that flame grass is also inevitable. This piece of flame grass has sprouted fruits like wheat ears, and its head has been bent by the full grain-like flower seeds, but there is a faint layer of flame on the surface of those grains. , it won’t take long for this flame grass to be completely destroyed mature, but most of the flower seeds have not yet entered the maturity stage, but in this flame grass field, there are still a few flame grasses that grow significantly better than other flame grasses. I found that the growth of those flame grasses was The flower seeds may be ripe in just a few days.

The price of green flower seeds in the market will be greatly reduced, and the fire magic essence contained in them is only one-third of that of mature flower seeds. Moreover, there is no market for such immature flower seeds, except for some Outside the black market, there will be no merchants purchasing the seeds of such magical herbs that have been picked before they are mature. The reason is also obvious. Planting magic herbs It is not an easy task to produce magical herbs. Herbalist masters who grow magical herbs will not harvest immature magical herbs in advance because they cannot wait for the last few days of maturity. Unless there are special circumstances. , most of the people who sell immature magic herbs are thieves in the thieves' union.

Therefore, there is a common rule in the potion market, that is, ordinary potion merchants will not purchase magic herbs that have not yet reached maturity.

In addition, Luke just showed me the horrific scars on his arms. This kind of burning was precisely due to touching those flame grasses. The magical flames on the surface of the flame grasses were stuck to the skin, and there was no way to extinguish it for a while. That's why he was burned. When he showed me the scar, he meant it as a warning.

I think it was for these two reasons that Luke let us weed alone in the flame grass field while he went to work in the wild steel flower field on the other side.

In fact, this is exactly another reason why I came here. I want to find some seeds of intermediate magical herbs. Unfortunately, in the magic medicine shop and auction house in El City, there were only some seeds of elementary herbs for sale. I have never found any magic potion seeds above the level. Recently, I visited several magic medicine shops in the imperial capital, but found nothing. This is how the mid-level magic herbal medicines are sold. Most of the sales of mid-level magic herbal medicines are The paths are all controlled by some noble families.

Therefore, there is a gap in the magic herb market, that is, many mid-level magic herbs are hard to buy in the magic potion shop. As a result, many magic pharmacists who do not have aristocratic family background will face a very embarrassing problem, that is, a junior magic pharmacist without social background, without the support of the great nobles, it is difficult to become a mid-level magic pharmacist. This is not because they are not talented enough, but because they usually do not have access to those mid-level magic herbs and cannot make those mid-level magic potions, so naturally they cannot grow into mid-level magic pharmacists.

Similarly, I will encounter this problem on the road of inscription master. I can buy the snow ink for making the "Frost Nova" magic scroll on the market. It is already a small city like El City. It is impossible to control the ice grass brought back from the ice and snow tundra by treasure hunters and demon hunters, and this rare magic herb can also be exchanged in the city hall of El City, so a large number of "Frost Nova" can be made. But if I want to make a higher-level magic scroll, the first problem I face is to solve those mid-level magic inks.

The nobles have successfully controlled the mid-level magic herbs from the root, that is, it is difficult to find seeds of mid-level magic herbs and other products on the market.

I own a huge medicine garden in Xinliu Valley, and now a very embarrassing situation has emerged, that is, the highest-level magic herbs in the herb garden are only golden needle grass that can be made into mental potion, and kudzu root that can be made into strength potion. I want to get back some seeds of mid-level magic herbs. Recently, under the guidance of the "Royal Magic Academy Life Guide", I found that this water magic ecological garden is actually a nursery for cultivating mid-level magic herbs.

Those flame grass flower seeds look like wheat ears, and there are at least seventy or eighty seeds on each wheat ear.

Standing next to the Minotaur Luka, with the help of the Minotaur's huge body, I secretly reached out to the plump seed ear of the best-growing flame grass, and quickly pinched the flower seed at the bottom of the wheat ear, which was only the size of a grain of rice. A faint flame immediately stained my hand. I haven't experienced the stinging pain caused by such a strong burning for a long time. It feels like the fire poison of the Burning Fruit is devouring every part of my flesh and blood. It really hurts.

But my body has a very strong blood power to "heal itself". There is a layer of faint flame on the fingertips of my right thumb and index finger. This hot flame is constantly carbonizing the skin of the fingertips. The flesh and blood of the fingertips are rapidly collapsing, but it is constantly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. This has caused the cluster of flames to burn on my fingers. Although it does not spread, it does not extinguish.

And I endured the pain of the burn, picked the most immature flower seed at the end of the plump flower seed ears, and quickly put it into the magic box in the magic waist bag for preservation...
