Chapter 100 100. Double-Headed Sunflower
Under the vines of the Magic Field.
Chloë was staring at a pale white grass in a daze.
He did not expect to find this unexpected surprise when he just came back - this seemingly ordinary noctilucent plant actually had such an idea -
"I think, illuminating "Dark night."
It is a rather simple and somewhat immature idea.
In the daytime when the sun is shining, the light it emits is even a little dimmer than other noctilucent grasses.
Compared with similar ones, it not only looks ordinary, but also looks weak.
But Croya noticed that its consciousness was extremely firm, and it was even really trying to absorb more magic power and wait until night to release it.
"Glow-in-the-dark grass will light up the night."
He is indeed a little difficult to evaluate this matter. How should I put it, just...
This kind of grass that barely squeezes into the first-level magic plant relies on absorbing magic power and then converting the magic power into a gentle white color. The light is released.
It itself is equivalent to a walking magic lamp, and it plays more of a modeling role.
Most often seen in the gardens of those nobles, the ordinary light they emit will become a foil for the delicate flowers.
But in theory, if the magic power is sufficient, it should be able to do something.
Because Croya once heard about a great mage who was bored, he poured a large amount of magic power into the night-blooming grass. It is said that the light of the night-bright grass instantly enveloped the land for hundreds of kilometers in radius.
The night is as bright as day.
But the price is that it is melted by the terrifying magic power, and finally turned into ashes - just a moment of brilliance, at the cost of life.
The Archmage was also helpless.
He had heard that this kind of luminous grass could be transformed into a particularly powerful magic plant, so he wanted to try it, but the result was like this.
They seem to have a limited upper limit from birth.
To be honest, Croya was very happy to see it like this, but it was also quite helpless.
This wish is a bit too hard to satisfy.
Nothing.
“Isn’t it interesting to be unsatisfied?” Croya thought for a moment.
Since it cannot store too much magic power, can you add a large-capacity and stable "magic source" to it to gradually stimulate and evolve.
Grafting.
Grafting should be possible with this method.
Is it okay to combine the characteristics of one plant with another plant so that the new plant has the characteristics of two magic plants?
Storing magic and adding light.
If that doesn't work, just do some more engraving.
“Hmm.”
If we were to say that there were many magic plants that were suitable as a source of magic power, but the problem was... all he could think of were trees.
Can grass and trees be grafted?
Well... the answer is definitely not very good.
Grafting herbaceous plants and woody plants is a disaster. Their internal structures are different. How can they be grafted?
Chloë can only continue to seek answers within the magic he knows.
Knowledge is used at such times.
After thinking about it, he suddenly thought of a story he had seen in "Miracle of Light" - it is said that there was a knight who fought with the devil, but lost his arms and legs.
He prayed to God in pain.
God really responded, cutting off the arms and legs of the big demon he killed, and using a holy technique called "Limb Splicing" to reattach them to him.
Then... it really happened.
The knight became a being with a demon arm and a demon leg. In the story, he used the power of the demon to help others and spread God's grace.
In the end, he was even sent to the front line of hell by God to engage in an eternal and endless battle to the death with those demons.
Anyway, it’s a very typical heroic story.
When I saw this story, Croya just wanted to complain, why did you call God here, but instead of regenerating your limbs, he gave you the arms and legs of the devil... …
Forget it for you, you worked so hard to spread glory to Him, but then He turned around and threw you into hell and a bloody battle with demons.
Is this really something that God can do... Well, it seems really possible.
He even wondered whether this story was specially made up for the alchemy of splicing severed limbs together, just like the magic medicines advertised on TV in previous lives.
But no matter what.
Since the arms, legs and feet of demons and humans can be spliced together, wouldn't the rejection reaction be more serious? Can it be used on demonic plants?
If this test can really succeed...
Then he can really graft plants at will.
The premise is that it can be successful.
Thinking of this, he stared at the mediocre grass with burning eyes, and decided to wait until the dolphins' fishing operations were completed before he started trying.
I can't afford it now. A tree that can store magic power would start with a hundred magic crystals. He is really short of money and can only wait.
...After taking note of the night-blooming grass, he continued to inspect his field and found many bees flying around.
They work hard to collect nectar and dance in the flowers.
It can be seen from the appearance that it should come from the same group of bees that built their nests in the terrace garden. It seems that they really like it here.
Croya didn't know much about this kind of magic bee, but he also knew that the way to upgrade them was to absorb more nectar containing magic power.
The process of brewing honey is actually a bit similar to making a magic potion. After a series of steps such as evaporating water and mixing digestive enzymes, honey can finally be formed.
In a sense, bees are natural potion masters.
He looked at the bees, and an idea came to his mind - could the bees be his potion mixers?
As far as he knows, there are some potions that require extremely cumbersome processes.
For example, in the "Basic Water Potion Alchemy Guide", there is a potion called "Manna Grape Brewing", which requires a specified number of different materials to be put in every day, which is very complicated.
During this period, if the wrong materials are placed, or a certain quantity is wrong, the potion refining will fail.
The technical requirements are not high, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
"I think I can give it a try." He thought thoughtfully.
Just like what you did to the queen ant just now, you can do the same to the queen bee: burn the formula of the magic potion into it.
The mage really has this kind of magic - timed reminder: it is generally used to remind yourself when to do something, equivalent to an alarm clock and a memo.
It just so happens that this magic potion requires grapes as a brewing material. Will these magic field grapes have any special effects?
He decided to make a note of it for the time being and start trying after the fish harvest generated income and he purchased the necessary items.
“Well, we’re just waiting for the harvest.”
Cloya continued to patrol the fields, strolled around for a while, and then returned to his castle.
Continue to study magic at home.
......
Time flew by, and another three days passed.
Cloya, who was immersed in the sunshine and practicing and thinking about the magic tree and the moss on it, suddenly felt a strange magic wave.
This kind of fluctuation contains the joy of new life, like the movement of the morning sun.
He was immediately awakened.
After feeling it for a while, he looked in the direction of the terrace and murmured to himself: "Is it the sunflower?"
The baby sunflower has changed. Of course, he can't continue to practice, so he hurriedly Get up and rush to the terrace garden.
As a result, when he rushed over, he was surprised to find:
The red sunflower surrounded by them suddenly grew a second orange flower disk, which was emitting radiant light to the naked eye. The visible fluctuations contained special magic power, which affected all the sunflowers after overflowing.
Other sunflowers have a bulge next to their flower disks, and then grow at a fast forward speed. Soon a second, somewhat immature, but equally huge flower disk grew next to the first flower disk.
All the sunflowers have two flower disks!
“Huh?”
Cloya blinked, this, this was really unexpected.
“Yiya~”
The red sunflower spirit flew out, floated over, landed on Croya's shoulder, and nuzzled him with its big face.
As the embodiment of the red sunflower, of course it has grown two flower disks. But its flower disk is a little special. It is not independent, but has a faint orange shadow behind the first flower disk.
It looks like a halo.
“Cuckoo?”
The ghost owl standing on Croya’s shoulder tilted its head 180 degrees and stared at the brand new sunflower elf, seeming to wonder what it was. Everything has an aura.
Cloya, who felt the change in its mood, quickly warned: "You can't peck!"
The ghost owl immediately "cooed" twice in dissatisfaction, flapped its wings, and swaggered The ground flew away.
Huh, don’t peck if you don’t let me!
It decided to go and play with the snake.
“……”
Croya shook his head helplessly. This guy had quite a temper, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Not only is the olive laurel that this guy transformed into useful, but also its mood swings make Croya feel very comfortable.
Naturally, I am more tolerant of it.
“But it’s really strange that a ghost like you can fly like this under the sun with such arrogance.”
After complaining, Croya looked at the red sunflower and examined it carefully. As it changes, the last time I looked at it, it was mutating based on the red chorus.
At first glance, it turned out to be true.
The position of the magic pattern representing the red refrain has changed——
[Due to the special influence of the red refrain, the form of this magic plant will change. 】
After checking it for a while, Croya immediately realized something very important - if this could be reproduced in large quantities... would all magic plants that can bloom have two flowers? ? !
If this is really the case, it is simply the most powerful magic mark he has ever seen so far.
Two flowers are not as simple as a double harvest.
