Chapter 87 Gifting the Botanical Garden
Domenico kept his smile unchanged. "As an apology from our Reeves family, we are going to give the Augustine breeder a set of medium-quality standard screening equipment, as well as a set of standard layer column elemental separation equipment."
Locke raised his eyebrows, showing a little interest.
Medium-quality standard seed screening equipment is not very expensive. The price of a complete set is about two hundred magic stones. It can be used by breeder assistants and breeders. It is used to screen certain high-quality seeds, or to screen out a specific seed from different seeds.
This kind of thing is one of the favorite things produced by the major alchemy workshops in Lilith's hut.
However, the layer column elemental separation equipment is very expensive and is a piece of equipment used by both the potion master's assistant and the breeder. A complete set of equipment will definitely require 1,500 magic stones.
When a potion master's assistant refines a very difficult potion, he may need to use this kind of equipment to extract the elemental components of a certain substance.
And it is indeed possible that breeders may, in rare cases, need to extract the elemental components of a certain plant and use it on the magic plant that needs to be cultivated.
The things Domenico gave him were indeed things he would definitely use.
Locke did not expect that the Reeves family would be willing to pay so many magic stones in order to apologize, which was almost less than the cost of two thousand magic stones.
But Locke's face still didn't look good. When he was at his weakest, the Reeves family came over and wanted to sign an unequal contract with him. After being rejected by him, they made small moves to prevent other wizard families from investing in him.
I did not need it at the time, but from a common sense point of view, most wizard apprentices from overseas do.
This is the hatred of blocking the road.
Although I don't care about the little Reeves family, I am now a first-class wizard apprentice, a student of Sophia Witch, and a genius breeder rumored by the outside world. It is not that simple to get my own understanding.
The Reeves family has long been in ruins. There is no official wizard in the family. The remaining two first-class wizard apprentices have lost their promotion potential and are old. It is impossible for them to take the initiative to stand up against themselves.
If they really did that, I wouldn't be afraid. Anyway, these people are a group of white wizards who are not that good at fighting. Their combat experience is probably not as rich as mine.
Domenico saw that Locke's expression still did not soften much. He felt a thump in his heart and knew that things were not that simple.
Domenico sighed slightly in his heart. In fact, he should have come to apologize to Locke when he was still a second-class wizard apprentice.
But at that time, he maintained his identity and felt that a second-class wizard apprentice could not make a difference, so he just watched his granddaughter misbehave.
With the trouble reaching the current stage, he also knew that it was no longer possible to solve the problem with just two sets of equipment.
Domenico's tone became more gentle towards Locke. "In addition, our Reeves family will also lend you a small and medium-sized botanical garden we own for free forever."
Locke was stunned for a moment. He was really interested now. After all, he did not expect that the Reeves family would actually spend a lot of money in order to gain his understanding.
They actually want to give themselves a small and medium-sized botanical garden for free.
Locke originally thought that applying for a botanical garden would be a relatively simple matter, but after such a month of delay, he realized how troublesome it was to apply for a small or medium-sized botanical garden in Lilith's cabin.
That’s why he was surprised that the old man Domenico was actually willing to give himself a place in a small- to medium-sized botanical garden.
If this is the case, this matter can really be over.
After all, everything can be measured by value.
And small and medium-sized botanical gardens are what we urgently need at present.
It is impossible for me to use Witch Sophia's botanical garden all the time. Witch Sophia has things to plant. As a formal wizard, she is also very embarrassed to use a medium-sized botanical garden.
Generally, a senior breeder with a formal wizard level will have a large botanical garden.
Locke meant something. "Mr. Domenico, you are really willing."
Domenico noticed that Locke's tone relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Small and medium-sized plantations are indeed rare. Just going through the approval process will take a long time, and it is likely to be stuck due to some irregular small details."
Domenico sighed. "It's a pity that since the first-class wizard apprentice of our Reeves family breeder died, our family has never had a breeder again, and other breeder assistants in the family have also gradually died, so all the botanical gardens we applied for before have been abandoned. "
"The descendants are unfilial and the family is unable to survive, so they can only rent out the family's two small and medium-sized botanical gardens and four small botanical gardens to other first-class wizard apprentice breeders for a small rent."
“This small and medium-sized botanical garden I am going to give you just happened to have a lease that expired recently, so I just gave it to you.”
Domenico was really a little sad and sighed. "Good things must be matched with the right people."
"An excellent breeder like Augustine deserves to have a small to medium-sized botanical garden of his own in advance. I just hope that the misunderstanding between us and you can be resolved by taking the opportunity, and we can maintain a good relationship in the future."
Locke nodded slightly. "If that's the case, then the previous things can indeed be wiped out."
Domenico beamed. "Krystle, I apologize to Augustine Breeder again..."
"Augustine Breeder, the things will be delivered to you tomorrow."
Locke nodded slightly, "Nothing, that's it. I'm going to be busy."
…
Domenico and Crystal, after leaving Locke's wooden houses, on the road, Crystal couldn't help but ask her grandfather Domenico, "Grandpa, you and he are both first-class wizard apprentices. Do we need to pay so much just to restore our relationship with him?"
Domenico glanced at Krisel coldly, "Kriselle, I spoiled you before. You actually did unnecessary things, offended someone inexplicably, and caused the family to lose so many resources."
"You... you are such a fool. We are all first-class wizard apprentices. Do you think that a first-class wizard apprentice like me, who has earned a fourth-level qualification over time, can compare with him, a first-class wizard apprentice who became a first-class wizard apprentice in two years and has even developed two new varieties of magic plants?"
Domenico suppressed his anger and said in a low voice: "You almost offended the family because of your stupidity. "Our family has declined, there is no official wizard, and all the past relationships and favors have been almost wiped out. And Locke is not only a genius, he is also the beloved disciple of Sophia Witch. Compared with him, the real weak one is our family..."
"Even in the field of first-class wizard apprentices, our family is already the weakest party."
Krisel regretted: "Who would have thought that a country bumpkin from the mortal world overseas who seemed ordinary at the beginning and had a little luck would actually grow to this point two years later."
Krisil reflected a little. "Perhaps, I really shouldn't look down on anyone. After all, it was my willfulness that harmed our family. I'm sorry, Grandpa."
Domenico snorted coldly. "Fortunately, you are not stupid enough to do something that actually harms Mr. Augustine. If it does happen, don't imagine that you are as easy to fool as you are today. This is considered lucky for you, no, it is just because you are incapable of doing it."
"From today on, you will not leave the house less."
