Chapter 95 Super Giant Public Botanical Garden
Within the huge botanical garden, there are many mountains and artificial suns hanging high. Specific magic radiation is constantly emitted from the artificial sun. Locke is very sure that it is a more advanced magic resonance cultivation method equipment with the same frequency than the radiation cauldron.
In this space that seems to be a small extra-dimensional world, even the breeze blowing in the face is full of magic fluctuations.
In the botanical garden, there are many high-level slaves working, and the first-class wizard apprentices are walking among them, instructing the second-class wizard apprentices to maintain the magic plants, or to personally protect those magic plants that are easy to die.
The second-class wizard apprentice who signed a contract with the Public Botanical Garden saluted Locke. "Sir Augustine, welcome to the most important area of Lilith's cabin, the Public Botanical Garden."
"Please follow me. This area is a private planting area. The five hundred acres of magic plant fields you need to maintain belong to public magic fields. They are assigned by the academy to first-class wizard apprentices and breeders like you, who are responsible for managing part of it in turn."
Locke understood that this is a bit like the well field system.
Most of the magic fields in the public botanical garden should be public, but at least one-third of the magic fields will be used as private magic fields for others to use.
The second-class wizard apprentice glanced at Locke secretly. Locke's young age caught his attention.
At present, most of those who can hold jobs in public botanical gardens are from the Seventy-Two local wizard families. Only with connections can they find such a good job.
But when he thought that he, who had favorable conditions and an outstanding family background, had been stuck as a second-class wizard apprentice for almost five years, while the wizard in front of him, who came from the mortal world overseas, was now a first-class wizard apprentice, he felt a little more depressed.
And he didn't dare to show his depression in front of Locke.
This second-class wizard apprentice can only perform his job honestly and introduce Locke to the areas of work that Locke needs to be responsible for.
This second-class wizard apprentice took Locke for about 7 kilometers. Everywhere he went were magic fields planted with various magic plants.
Many slaves are harvesting mature magic plants in the fields. Most of these magic plants are not combat magic plants, but magic plants used as raw materials for potions.
"Sir Augustine, we are here. You will be responsible for all the five hundred acres of magic fields here for one month, and then the college will entrust others to take charge of it for the next month." The second-class wizard apprentice saluted Locke and said slightly to please him. "The public botanical garden has a complete set of nutrient solutions, nutrient soil, as well as various agricultural tools for cooking magic plants, as well as special insecticides for magic insects, and magic plant herbicides for specific weeds."
"Sir Augustine, if you need anything, you can come to me for help in the future."
"In addition, you can also outsource the work."
This second-class wizard apprentice smiled and said: "You can entrust several second-class wizard apprentices to help you work, and you only need to guide them."
"It is that some of the magic plants are too dangerous, and the second-class wizard apprentices may not be able to handle them, and according to the academy's regulations, you must at least be here to watch."
"Sir Augustine, I am Thomas Belen. If you need anything, you can come to me at any time."
Locke glanced at this second-class wizard apprentice, Belen, in surprise... This should be a member of the seventy-two local wizard families, the Belen family. That family also seems to have several first-class wizard apprentices.
It's just like the Reeves family, those first-class wizard apprentices have no possibility of advancement, and their lifespans are almost reaching their limit.
Seventy-two local wizard families have been facing the problem of a lack of support.
Locke said indifferently: "Yes, I understand."
After Thomas left, Locke paid attention to the surroundings and saw that besides himself, there were many first-class wizard apprentices in the public area of the cooking school.
It is about 500 acres per person.
At first glance, there are at least twenty first-class wizard apprentices working here.
First-class wizard apprentices have a long life span, while second-class wizard apprentices and third-class wizard apprentices often fail to be promoted within ten years, and will lose the academy's subsidies, or even be forced to drop out of school and become wandering wizards. ” Locke thought: “Maybe he was forced to enter a second-class academy. 』
“But first-class wizard apprentices themselves are of extremely high value, and the academy can always subsidize first-class wizard apprentices. First-class wizard apprentices all have a lifespan of at least two hundred years, so there should be a lot of first-class wizard apprentices in the academy. 』
『They are all accumulated over time and left behind. 』
It often takes more than ten years for a first-class wizard apprentice to be promoted to a formal wizard, and those who have little hope of promotion may even have been a first-class wizard apprentice for fifty or sixty years and are still preparing to fight to become a formal wizard.
If you do not become an official wizard before the age of forty, your chances of success will be greatly reduced, but it cannot be said that there is no chance at all.
These first-class wizard apprentices are often surrounded by some servants, and there are also many second-class wizard apprentices who are surrounding them.
When Locke came in, a few first-class wizard apprentices looked at him a few more times, a few nodded to him, and then stopped paying attention.
After all, Locke has just become a first-class wizard apprentice, but some of them are only a few steps away from becoming a formal wizard, and some have no hope of becoming a formal wizard, but they have been a first-class wizard apprentice for fifty or sixty years and have rich experience.
Furthermore, they basically all wear breeder badge certificates.
When these people saw the breeder's assistant badge certificate worn by Locke, they would inevitably show contempt in their eyes, and naturally they had no intention of actively making friends with Locke.
Wizards are all realistic.
Since they don’t see the benefit of being friends with themselves, these senior first-class wizard apprentices naturally have no interest in themselves.
Some senior first-class wizard apprentices still gathered together in twos and threes, chatting with each other, or exchanging ideas, and handed over the work to the second-class wizard apprentices they hired.
Locke heard several first-class wizard apprentices complimenting a female first-class wizard apprentice named Mary.
"Senior Mary, you should be the first-class wizard apprentice in the academy who is closest to a formal wizard... I'm so envious."
Mary said calmly, with alienation, "Well. I will participate in the breeder competition next year, starting from Accumulating resources. To become a formal wizard, a first-class wizard apprentice needs to accumulate a lot of resources. "
"You guys should make preparations early."
Several first-class wizard apprentices surrounding her laughed.
"It's still early for us. We may have to wait for more than ten years before we can reach the level of you, Senior Sister Mary."
"I recently took on an academy task and cultivated a batch of verbena magic plants, and earned a lot of magic stones."
"It is probably because of the Blood Curse Tribunal that this kind of emergency mission was issued, and verbena doesn't have much other uses." Mary said: "I heard that in order to retaliate against the Blood Curse Tribunal, the academy threw the vampires into the upper stream of the water source used by the Blood Curse Tribunal after touching the verbena that caused magic allergy. I heard that many wizard apprentices died in the Blood Curse Tribunal."
While the few people were talking, Mary suddenly looked up at a young male first-class wizard apprentice not far away, nodded slightly to him, and actively greeted him: "Angron, you are here."
"I heard that you obtained the Breeder's Assistant Certificate, but I didn't expect it to be true."
Angron basically ignored the others and said hello to Mary. "Some of the mental enhancement potion projects I have been working on recently were not very successful. In order to draw a parallel, I simply applied to Mr. Harlan Vera to get a breeder's assistant certificate, and then came to work in a public plantation."
"Mary, I didn't expect you to be here. That would be great. We can communicate with each other. It won't be boring if there is no one to talk to."
Mary smiled and nodded. This was exactly what she meant. After all, she couldn't communicate with the wizard apprentices surrounding her.
Angron glanced at Locke not far away. Because Locke was a new face, he slightly caught his attention.
But Angron soon focused on Mary, who was also an official wizard seed, and talked and laughed with her.
Locke withdrew his gaze from observing the people around him.
He didn't mean to take the initiative to say hello. When you are weak, it is best not to think about how to socialize, but to improve yourself, and your friends will naturally come over to you.
Otherwise, if you force your way into those circles, it will only be counterproductive.
It’s just that Locke didn’t expect that he would meet the first-class wizard apprentice Angron here.
The opponent looks strong, with muscles all over his body. He is different from the image of an ordinary wizard apprentice. He is short-cut, clean and neat, but has gloomy eyes. He does seem to be the kind of person who will do whatever it takes.
Locke turned his head and looked at the five hundred acres of magic field in front of him that he was responsible for. "The academy should have considered that I only have a Breeder Assistant Certificate, so it did not assign too complicated magic plant care tasks to me. It assigned me the simplest magic plants."
"That's good."
"It will be much easier for me to take care of it."
"The first thing is to treat the phoenix flowers to remove specific harmful fungi, which requires special antibacterial gel."
The next day, Locke worked in the public botanical garden.
However, even though he had been working all day, no other first-level wizard apprentice came to talk to him, and the lower-level wizard apprentices did not dare to take the initiative to disturb him.
Hence, Locke was in a clean state.
In the evening, when Locke returned to his wooden house group, he entered the small and medium-sized botanical garden given to him by the Reeves family. At this time, the botanical garden has been tidied up by the tauren slaves, and a large amount of nutritious soil has been sprinkled into it.
Loke checked it over. "Twenty acres of new magic fields will be opened in about a week."
Locke looked at the Horadric Cube that he was turning in the void. At this time, the Horadric Cube was synthesizing three ordinary [Palm Fire Lotuses].
In a week, my third magic plant should be ready.
