Chapter 443 The Grafting of Animals and Plants
The next day, Locke completed a day of meditation and entered the special laboratory again to review information and use the magic co-frequency cultivation method to directionally mutate the chain magic vine so that the chain magic vine can gain further abilities.
During this process, Locke answered questions from several students. Locke said to Leopold, a man who had just obtained the formal breeder certificate this year, whose mana reached 800 last month, and is currently his right-hand assistant in the laboratory: "The grafting cultivation method you proposed, The issue of grafting animals and plants is indeed meaningful, because this is something that breeders at the first-level stage need to study. "
"Using the first-level grafting healing technique, part of the animal's blood essence can be grafted onto the plant to form a special plant."
Locke said: "But the side effects of this will be great."
Locke thought for a moment and decided to show Leopold a demonstration. Leopold's mana fluctuation has reached 800. He is very capable and is the group leader among the wizard apprentices.
Locke stretched out his hand, and an apprentice-level subspecies of the chain magic vine fell into Locke's hands. At the same time, Locke took out a glass bottle containing the essence of the wolf spider's bloodline from the astral ring.
Loke then cut off the subspecies magic vine, opened the glass bottle of the wolf spider essence, and grafted the two together, while using a level one grafting healing technique.
Leopold looked at this scene in astonishment. He did not expect that a first-level grafting healing technique could actually achieve this level.
Soon, the subspecies of magic vine absorbed the wolf spider essence, and the entire magic vine underwent some morphological changes.
When Locke let go of the sub-species magic vine, the magic vine turned around and attacked Leopold who was standing aside. The speed of the magic vine, which had been strengthened by the wolf spider, was so fast that Leopold could not react at all. Before he could utter any defensive spells, the magic vine had already arrived in front of him, trying to make a hole in his forehead.
Leopold turned pale with fright, but the next moment, Locke stretched out his left hand, grabbed the magic vine, and squeezed it slightly hard, and the entire magic vine exploded.
Leopold gasped. "Teacher Augustine, that magic plant... went berserk... went berserk..."
Locke nodded slightly. "The blood essence of magical creatures is too different for magic plants. Even if grafting is used for forced healing, it is usually more difficult than grafting between plants."
"And when magic plants are combined with blood essence, it is easy to cause a [runaway] phenomenon. This is because there are several special factors inside the blood essence that are not found in plant essence. They were originally used to stabilize the activities of magical creatures and strengthen their bodies. The magic plant that remains basically unchanged does not need those special factors, but once the two are grafted and the magic plant gets those special factors, the runaway phenomenon just now will occur. "
"Once the magic plant goes berserk, it will often exert power that it did not have originally." Locke said: "But it also means that this magic plant is leading itself and the things around it to destruction."
Leopold wondered: "But Mentor Barbara and Mentor Montgomery are still grafting magical creatures and magic plants..."
Locke nodded and said: "Sometimes, in order to solve the problem, grafting magic plants with magical creatures may bring unexpected surprises. But this requires rich grafting experience, and Witch Barbara is also a wizard of blood science, so she has With her guidance, Wizard Montgomery can perform this kind of grafting. "
"Okay, Leopold, this is the answer to your question today."
Leopold leaned over Locke and saluted. "Thank you for your advice, Teacher Locke. After your advice, I have a better understanding of the grafting cultivation method. I hope that I can help our research group in the future."
Locke nodded.
Leopold was also a civilian wizard. Before entering his own research group, he had been a ghostwriter for several first-class wizard apprentices from the Plutarch family.
I heard that he also ghostwrote articles for George Plutarch.
Since entering his own research group, he has stopped such activities.
However, after Leopold reached 800 mana, his promotion potion went to his original wizard mentor. After all, Locke did not have a teaching position and was not his real wizard mentor.
Leopold works within his own group and has not done any work in his original mentor's group.
But the problem is that if he wants to get the promotion potion, even if he only has the hope of getting it, he needs to be a slave to the original wizard mentor, otherwise he will never get the promotion potion.
Locke didn't know what Leopold was thinking. Ever since he reached 800 mana, he hadn't meditated much in the past few days. Instead, he was working seriously in his own group, and he wasn't anxious at all about the promotion potion.
Leopold saluted Locke and said, "Teacher Locke, I have finished my experimental work today. I want to go back to the dormitory to check the information."
Locke nodded. "Yes, yes. This is up to you."
"Remember to compile a copy of the information on the magic plant subspecies recently produced by our group and send it to all the first-level wizards including myself."
"Okay, Teacher Locke." Leopold then saluted again and left here.
Locke looked up at Leopold's leaving figure and frowned slightly. If a student like Leopold was in a wizard's land outside, he would have obtained the promotion potion long ago, and their wizard mentor would urge him to advance to the first level wizard as soon as possible.
Every wizard mentor who teaches a formal wizard student has great benefits.
Not only the hidden benefits of personal connections, but also reputation, prestige, application resources, and more student places.
Furthermore, every time a formal wizard is taught, the White Wizard Association will give special rewards. These rewards are all tied to the teaching position. Originally, as long as the system was still effective, the wizard mentors would hope to have a few more formal wizard students under their hands.
But the reward system in the Land of Six Towers has completely collapsed, and is all controlled by family wizards. Naturally, they don't care whether their students can become official wizards.
Instead, he wants to suppress his students to prevent them from being out of his control and no longer working for them after they become official wizards.
Locke frowned. The promotion potion was a key secret of the White Wizard Association. It was banned from circulation on the market, so it was impossible for him to get it for Leopold.
According to the rules, Leopold's potion will be distributed to his teacher first, so there is really nothing he can do about it.
Locke came back to his senses and focused his attention on the small group on the gray fog slate. Since he joined the small group, he has often checked the chat content in the group and found that the tenth research group in the group is indeed on the verge of disbandment.
He is a wizard from the Land of Dragonfall, but although the wizard in the Land of Dragonfall has a high level, he has always been better at the alchemy school and the enchantment school, and has no interest in breeding at all. Therefore, the wizard college he was in never thought of supporting him from the beginning. When he really entered the Yunze Cup, a large group of people in the college tried to put people into his research group.
This wizard Marius Lawrence is also a soft-spoken person. Over time, his research group is not only filled with connections, but also those who were originally capable of doing things have been squeezed out.
This resulted in the remaining people becoming distracted.
Today, Marius Lawrence spoke out in the group in the morning. When he spoke out, he blamed the Mountain Shadow Parliament College where he was studying for not paying attention to their breeding studies, not valuing their breeders, and now his project was completely messed up.
In short, Wizard Marius was full of complaints.
He did not dare to say it in the Shanying Council, so he had to find a place to say it, and the Yunze Cup finals group was a good outlet.
Locke sighed through peeking at the screen and lamenting that it seems that every participating research team has its own problems. Perhaps it is true that as Barbara Witch said before, the problems we will encounter will definitely be encountered by our competitors.
Whoever is more patient than the other has already gained the upper hand.
Locke saw that in the small group, the wizard Alaric at the junction of darkness and light comforted him a few words, while the third-ranked wizard Yennefer gave him a rare @ in the group - "It's not the fault of others, who made your ears soft." Those students under you were more wronged than you. They finally helped you win the competition. You replaced them with those with connections as soon as you entered the finals. 』
Marius Lawrence seemed to be stunned for a while, and then in the small group @Yennefer of Spiral Basin - "You can't blame me. Among the new students, even the wizard mentors, none of them have better resumes than those in my original research group! I think we should choose the best among the best, so we make temporary substitutions. 』
Yennefer gave him a sneer.
And the wizard Alaric at the junction of Huiming said: "You can't say that, this thing can't just be based on resume." Resumes can be improved, but ability to work is the real thing. Changing generals on the spot is a taboo. 』
By the way, so your project can’t be carried out? Then in our finals, wouldn’t there be only nine contestants? 』
Wizard Alaric was undoubtedly seeking information again, but Wizard Marius Lawrence was stimulated and immediately stated that his project was still progressing and that he would work hard to complete the experiment within the specified time, and also gave a lot of details that revealed the progress of his experiment.
Locke raised his eyebrows. "It seems that there is no need to worry about this first-level crystallization-stage wizard in the Land of Dragonfall. He is no longer my competitor. Judging from the details he revealed, his project has indeed progressed slowly, and basically all the core people working on it have left."
The relationship with Eric's family is not very good, and he is a neutral member of the Plutarch family.
The general director of the Finance Office is a relative of Eric, but there are a bunch of directors under the Finance Office.
The liquefaction wizard found Locke at this moment, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he handed the bill to Locke. "Wizard Augustine, I finally found you. Originally, I didn't dare to bother you if I had nothing to do."
h I wrote a zero, ten thousand magic stones, and turned it into one hundred thousand magic stones. The key is that I signed it and submitted all the bills." Wizard Spendis said: "This is a major mistake. The name of the student who reported the bill is Leopold."
"I am a first-class wizard apprentice. You see how careless these civilian wizards are in doing things. They accidentally caused such a big problem. This is an account of 90,000 magic stones, which is a bigger problem. I manage the assets of the Plutarch family and need to be responsible for the family's property." "Those civilian wizards must be because you are too good to them, so they dare to make such a big mistake."
"You'd better put some of our reliable family wizards in your research team. Maybe these 90,000 magic stones were done by the first-class wizard apprentice who wanted to embezzle them into his own pocket."
Lock frowned, glanced at Wizard Spendis, then took the bill from his hand and found that it was signed by Witch Barbara.
Locke called Barbara Witch, and Barbara Witch, whose face was covered with dirt, was also shocked when she saw the bill. "What's going on? Why did Leopold write an extra zero?"
Witch Barbara looked at the angry Spendis wizard, then looked at Locke with a guilty conscience, and then said: "Maybe I trust him too much, so he gave it to me and I signed it without looking carefully."
"These are nine magic crystal cards...it's a big problem."
Ninety thousand magic stones is actually not a small amount. You can buy nine one-ring magic plants, nine medium-quality one-ring magic weapons, and even seven to eight golems, which can buy a lot of resources to assist meditation.
This money is definitely a drop in the bucket when used for big projects, but it is more than enough for a wizard's training.
Witch Barbara quickly realized that this mistake was likely to be an excuse for family wizards like Spendis Wizard to launch an attack. This matter could be big or small.
To put it more seriously, it is an attempt to make false accounts and defraud the Plutarch family of family funds. This is a major crime. Not only is it impossible to stay in Locke's research group, but the Sfendis wizard may also send Leopold to a wizard's prison.
Locke had a huge head. Although he had heard before that the dispute between the research team and the finance office was very complicated and the two were often at odds with each other, he did not expect that things would develop like this.
This is the first time for me to encounter it, so I have no precautions.
Barbara the Witch said two words for Leopold. "Boss Locke, Leopold doesn't have the guts to covet nine magic crystal cards. Even if he sells them, he won't be able to pay them back." He was depressed about the potion for a while, and the work mistake should have occurred at that time."
Sifendis Wizard said coldly: "A civilian wizard has never seen money, and it is normal for him to have twisted thoughts after seeing such a large sum of money."
"I'm not here to deliberately find trouble. I respect Wizard Locke Augustine very much, and agree with the leadership of you and the eldest lady on our family."
"But I think Wizard Augustine thinks too well of those civilian wizards. This time I found evidence of their corruption, and how much more was there that I didn't discover? When I go back, I will thoroughly check all the previous bills!"
witch Barbara turned around, "You..."
She was a little helpless. During this time, the Plutarch family and the wizards from the major families in the White Dragon Tower seemed to be stimulated, and they often targeted the civilian wizards in their research group.
The Six Towers' hostility towards civilian wizards has reached an incredible level.
They can accept how outstanding civilian wizards from outside are, and even rule here, but they absolutely cannot accept how outstanding civilian wizards are in the land of six towers.
Locke thought for a while and said: "Leopold is currently in his dormitory, let's go find him. Barbara Witch, please check the internal bill of our research group. If it is just a misunderstanding, return the extra money to the finance office."
Witch Barbara quickly said: "Yes."
