Chapter 566 Meeting Diana again and bottoming out of her savings
In front of the dormitory door, Locke received forty-five azure beech trees sent by the wizards from the Silver Plum Garden, which made the Daniel wizard next door look at him with suspicion.
Wizard Daniel stood in the next room in the castle corridor and asked curiously: "Locke, what do you want with so many first-ring magic plants? Are you making a large-scale ecology?"
Locke was stunned for a moment, the forest sanctuary is indeed a large-scale ecological experiment. "Secret, secret."
Wizard Daniel did not continue to ask questions after seeing this.
Every official wizard has some secrets, and pursuing them fiercely will only destroy the friendship between the two people and offend others.
After Locke used the Druid's Ring to receive forty-five water green beech trees, he spent three days slowly and completely transplanting them into his forest sanctuary.
These forty-five Shuiqinggang beech trees will gradually integrate into the forest sanctuary in the next month. Together with the fifty Shuiqinggang beech trees that were previously transplanted into the forest sanctuary, they will become the most solid force in the forest sanctuary.
Locke looked at the Shuiqinggang Beech in front of him, which was like a pillar reaching into the sky, and nodded slightly.
Shuiqinggang beech is a favorite raw material for furniture used by high-level wizards. The furniture made from it can resist the magical pressure of high-level wizards, and can also be used to make tool tables for various industries.
This is a highly valuable economic crop with a wide range of uses and is a pillar material.
Thus, the ninety-five water green hill beech trees have changed the characteristics of their own forest, making their forest sanctuary hard, strong and full of vitality.
Locke checked the information in the book. "There can't only be plants in the forest, but there are also microorganisms, but if magical creatures are introduced... the forest sanctuary is where my core strength lies. The introduction of any magical creatures may cause huge loopholes."
Locke began to think.
Just imagine, if you have a conflict with a wizard of the Summoning School, and while fighting you, the other party suddenly realizes that there are many magical creatures living in the forest sanctuary in the Druid Ring, and uses magic on these magical creatures, then the situation will become very exciting.
Also, some wizards of the Conjuration School are said to have the ability to interfere with specific magical creatures across space. The Conjuration School itself is unique in the field of blood science.
In addition, the corpses of dead animals are also easily used by shamans of the sect of theosophy.
"The Forest Sanctuary is the core of my power." Locke thought: "Rushly introducing magical creatures will only leave loopholes in my magical power. Even the creator of the Forest Sanctuary, Wizard Levis, did not consider this issue."
< br/> "However, the problem is not big. If it is in the southeast corner area, or the land of six towers, I may not be able to do anything. But in Yunze Wetland, there is too much information to look up."
"I'm going to look up the information to see if there is a solution."
Locke looked at his completely bottomed out savings and sighed slightly. The purchase of forty-five Aquagreen Beech trees cost him thirty magic crystal cards, and completely transplanting them into the Druid's Ring cost him another eighty thousand magic stones.
As a result, my current savings are only two pitiful magic crystal cards.
With such a small amount of savings, I still have to deal with a four-person researcher team including myself, Witch Mason, and others.
After all, even if there are still 400,000 fund magic stones, they have to pay a lot of the money first and then file the account.
Because money and accounts must be separated to supervise the use of fund funds by wizards.
This means that I still need to have some savings to meet the daily expenses of the four-person team.
This is considered working capital.
In addition, Gregor and Williams also need to pay for some small expenses themselves. For example, he has to spend a thousand magic stones on each of them every month to help them prepare high-level Blood Nightshade potion.
If the two of them had to pay this money themselves... Judging from the fact that they are currently working as laboratory assistants at Zhenzhiyuan and have a monthly living allowance of 1,500 magic stones, they will never be able to afford this money.
Whether these two people can become official wizards as soon as possible is closely related to their own requirements for leaving the station.
"We have to make money as soon as possible. I hope September 1st will come as soon as possible, it's only half a month away." Locke was anxious as he waited for the money.
The key is that we still don’t know what the specific sales of the Hydra series of magic plants will be on September 1st.
If the sales performance is not good, then he will probably have to cut back on food and clothing for a long time and look for new horizontal directions to increase his income.
At this moment, Locke finally understood the problem faced by countless formal wizards - where do the funds come from!
One day later, Locke completed another pathway analysis of the mechanism of action of a bromeliad magic plant in the breeder's public laboratory, and shared the information on three bromeliad magic plants with Mason Witch and others.
Looking at the cheerful crowd, Locke hesitated for a moment, but still did not reveal his current shortage of funds.
Anyway, Witch Mason and others are usually accustomed to using their own money first and then repaying the debt to themselves.
Hence, as long as there are no unexpected surprises within these two weeks, the problem of lack of funds can be solved.
Say it now, it will only increase people’s panic.
When Witch Mason turned back, she looked at Locke and noticed that Locke sighed slightly. "Locke, the four of us have now advanced two-thirds of your project. The situation is very good, why are you still sighing."
"Now should be a happy time."
Witch Freya also looked at Locke curiously.
Wizard Barrett glanced at Locke and suddenly changed the subject. "Yesterday, I helped Locke complete the three-dimensional structural analysis of the Ice Mirror of the Overlord Pineapple Magic Plant, and the results were astonishing. First of all, through the Ice Mirror, I confirmed that Locke had indeed discovered a new natural magic structural component, and that this natural magic structural component was obtained by cultivating a new magic plant."
"Secondly, the huge size of the Overlord Pineapple is also related to this natural magic structural component."
"Team Leader Locke, come and take a look."
The four people gathered around. After observation, Locke nodded and said: "I have guessed before that this special natural magic structural component makes the Overlord Pineapple huge and very dangerous."
"Therefore, I named this natural magic structural component the No. 2 type of Overlordin structure. Overlordin was originally only found in the Overlord flower and its related subspecies of magic plants, but now a new type of Overlordin has been discovered in the Overlord pineapple."
Locke said: "It is worth mentioning. Yes, the breeders transplanted the Overlord element inside the Overlord flower and developed a series of Overlord magic plants. And if this second Overlord element inside the Overlord pineapple is used, combined with the existing Overlord magic plant technology, I don’t know what will happen.”
Now the three of them were shocked.
Witch Mason, Witch Freya, and Wizard Barrett all looked at Locke with admiration.
They did not expect that Locke was just doing some basic research on six groups. As a result, he could discover a technology that could change the current one-ring and two-ring magic plant breeding technology.
Although it is only a possibility, it is this possibility that makes everyone see some hope.
How much development can the four of them do just around this overlord breeding technology? !
Witch Freya raised a cup of duck head green tea to Locke and said, "Salute to the genius leader of our group, Locke Augustine."
Witch Mason and Barrett also looked at each other and smiled, then raised the tea cup at hand and drank it down in one gulp.
The discovery and confirmation of the No. 2 structure of Bawangsu is definitely the most valuable among the seven new natural magic structures that Locke currently has in hand.
The remaining six are only of some basic research value, because although the six natural magic structural components are newly discovered, their functions are not too special in the world of magic plants. There are various natural magic structural components that can replace them.
It is only necessary to analyze and record it for basic research. It is likely that these materials will only stay in libraries and journals for hundreds of years after that.
But this No. 2 overlord element is different, because there is a whole line of overlord-oriented breeding technology and related markets, so if Locke reveals it to the outside world, his current discovery will probably attract all kinds of peeps immediately.
Locke said: "The current project we have is to analyze the action mechanism pathways of twenty-six kinds of bromeliad magic plants, as well as seven natural magic structural components."
"But the discovery of No. 2 Overlordin allows us to postpone other work, and I will also postpone the search for the action pathway mechanism of new bromeliad magic plants. The main focus of our team will be on the No. 2 Overlord Primer. "
"Now we need to confirm all the data of the No. 2 Overlord Primer as soon as possible. Mason, you will do the functional analysis of the No. 2 Overlord Primer's solar mirror, and Barrett, you will do the biological action pathway analysis of the No. 2 Overlord Primer's electromagnetic mirror."
Locke looked at Witch Freya and said: "The two of us want to do more. Because Overlord No. 2 involves commercialization and practicality, we need more information. We need to compare the performance differences between the two Overlords in various aspects, and the performance of the two Overlords in extreme environments. "Then we need to do more experiments and use more breeder equipment." Locke frowned because he thought about the shortage of funds. "It may be necessary to conduct a complete industrial quality inspection. In fact, the facilities in Alsace and Frankfurt are relatively complete in this regard."
Witch Freya and others immediately swallowed their saliva, because the abbreviation of Queen Sernonnos's chessboard was the Queen's chessboard, and the Queen's chessboard was relatively expensive among the three-ring magic weapons. It was said to be worth hundreds of millions.
That is a breeder's equipment that first-level wizards are not qualified to use. Among the six groups, only second-level wizards are qualified to use Queen Cernonos's chessboard.
But the problem is that if you want to carefully compare the advantages and disadvantages of the two Overlord Elements, you need to use the Queen's chessboard to deduce the respective advantages and disadvantages of the two Overlord Elements. In the Queen's chessboard, you can use the natural force to conduct Force-level detection to thoroughly confirm the essence of the two Overlord Elements.
Hitch Mason reminded: "Locke, Zhenzhiyuan will never let us first-level wizards use the Queen's chessboard."
Locke nodded slightly.
That is indeed the case, this is the rule within the six groups, but in fact, if you have enough money, you can spend money to borrow the Queen's chessboard in the commercial store alliance.
In short, all the problems are still about money.
Locke said: "Using the queen's chessboard can only better compare the advantages and disadvantages of the two overlord elements, and distinguish the difference between the two at the level of the force. But we can use exquisite experimental design and some other equipment to try to achieve the best results. This is the purpose. Freya, let’s design these experiments.”
“Everyone, do you have any other questions?”
witch Mason and others shook their heads slightly, and everyone started working with interest.
Locke looked at his group and nodded slightly. He was very satisfied with the current development, except that he had no money.
『The existence of Bawangsu can indeed add more brilliance to my project. I just don’t know if it will be beyond the expectations of Witch Ekaterina. Locke thought: "Last time, I thought about Mason Witch's proposal for a long time, but I couldn't figure out how to optimize the current exploration process for a while. 』
First think of ways to get more money. With money, I can use more resources. Like now, even if I use the three magic mirrors, I am a little scared. 』
Currently, to use the magic mirror once, he would have to spend at least 20,000 magic stones, which would directly drain his savings.
However, he is already much richer than the average researcher. Locke has even seen researchers who frugally save research funds.
In short, it is quite difficult for everyone.
Locke packed up and prepared to go to the library in the afternoon. According to the arrangement of Witch Ekaterina, he went to the library to borrow the books recommended by her.
But who knew that Locke would meet a character he had not expected in the breeder's public laboratory.
When he turned around, he felt that the surrounding air had become several degrees cooler. At the same time, he smelled the fragrance of osmanthus. When he looked up, he saw the Witch Diana wearing a wizard's robe that looked like a warrior's costume.
Diana Witch supported her waist with her left hand and greeted Locke with her right hand. "Long time no see, Locke Augustine."
Locke showed a strange expression.
Diana Witch smiled and said: "What's that expression on your face? Does it make you feel weird to see me here?"
Locke said: "Hello, Diana Witch. If I remember correctly, you seem to have joined Bonifa. "This is the Advanced Zhenzhiyuan of Xius."
"This is the Zhenzhiyuan of Golden Mian Mountain, Diana, are you here to inquire about the enemy?"
Witch Diana's eyes suddenly widened, as if she heard something ridiculous. "No. I don't bother to do this kind of thing. I have always believed that as long as you concentrate on doing your own thing, any enemy will be defeated by you."
“However, have you heard of joint training? You can understand that there is cooperation between my Throne Wizard Mentor and your Throne Wizard Mentor, so I was seconded as one of the project leaders on my Throne Wizard Mentor’s side.”
Locke obviously thought of this after the initial surprise, so he nodded and said: "That's it. As expected of you."
There are several situations in joint training. One situation is that the original instructor does not want this wizard, but because this wizard has taken up the quota, he can only waste it, dump him elsewhere, and exchange favors with other high-level wizards.
Come on, out of sight and out of mind.
But there are also situations where it is in order to better train students, or to better cooperate with a certain high-level wizard to form a project and achieve unique joint advantages.
The wizard who is seconded in this situation is usually the capable person under the high-level wizard.
It is very conspicuous. With Diana's ability, she is obviously in the second situation.
Loke said. "Welcome, my friend, Diana Witch."
Diana Witch showed a satisfied smile.
Since the last Yunze Cup match, when Locke defeated Diana, the two of them have remembered each other.
The easiest way for geniuses to communicate is to win the other side openly and honestly in competition.
That will surely make the other party remember it forever and ever, until they win it back again.
Locke asked: "However, I really want to ask, what kind of experiment are you here for?"
Witch Diana said: "Honestly, I don't know either. How can we, young wizards of the first level, know clearly what the Lords of the Throne are thinking."
"The specific work still needs follow-up arrangements. I first helped my tutor to make statistics on the stomata and elemental transpiration rates of different types of Yihuan magic plant leaves for four months."
"I completed a third-class Zhenzhiyuan foundation project at Bonifacius University."
Diana Witch is a wizard born in Yunze Wetland, so she is accustomed to this kind of basic research, so she just said casually. "I just came to your Golden Mian Mountain three days ago, and then I was assigned to your third group."
"The three groups you have here seem to be mainly searching for and analyzing the inhibitory effects of magic plants on the reproduction of magical creatures above the first level." I was thinking about this. The only wizard I know is you, so I came to find you."
Locke nodded slightly. People from the three groups rarely appear in public breeder laboratories. It seems that they all have an independent laboratory in a special desert area around Golden Crown Mountain.
However, I did not expect that the main research content of the three groups was to study how magic plants inhibit the reproductive capacity of magical creatures.
The research content of the six groups is how magic plants can enhance the fertility of magical creatures, while the research content of group three is how magic plants can inhibit the fertility of magical creatures.
Furthermore, according to Teacher Ekaterina’s grouping habits, three groups are obviously more important to Witch Ekaterina than six groups.
Locke couldn't help but wonder what the third-ring level ten-person project of Witch Ekaterina was about after a hundred years.
In the project parts that Group Three and Group Six are responsible for, it is really hard to tell what Witch Ekaterina is doing, and the research directions are opposite.
At first, Locke also doubted whether Witch Ekaterina was cultivating a magic plant that could enhance the fertility of some magical creatures, but now it seems that it is not that simple.
Diana Witch asked Locke: "Do you have any plans for the afternoon?"
Locke looked at Diana Witch strangely. "My tutor has arranged some book lists for me, and I am going to borrow them this afternoon."
Diana Witch nodded. "Then you are indeed very busy. But can you spare an hour? I want to go to Joseph's Golem Shop with you to fight again. Last time I saw your nine-layer permanent defense field on the Yunze Cup, which really interested me."
"But I have been thinking hard for four and a half months. Finally, he came up with a solution."
Diana Witch challenged Locke: "How about, as two talented breeders from the Yunze Cup, let's compete."
Locke raised the corner of his mouth. In fact, he was feeling itchy after hearing half of it.
Geniuses will always attract each other, compete with each other, and achieve mutual success in the competition.
Because of this, it is a pleasant thing to have people who are on the same path in the pursuit of truth.
Only with competition can there be progress.
Furthermore, Locke was also curious about what Diana Witch said was the way to break her nine permanent defense fields.
Although his permanent defensive force field has been upgraded, it is based on the power of Mist and life reloading, rather than the meaningless stacking of permanent defensive force fields.
To be honest, nine stacks of permanent defensive force fields may not be much better than one permanent defensive force field of Mist's Power.
Locke said: "The nine permanent defensive force fields that were superimposed on me before were not my own strength, but I borrowed the magic pressure left in the Hydra by the nine Suleas." Then I accept the challenge. However, the money to go to Joseph's Golem Shop..."
Diana Witch said: "No problem, I will pay."
"This is what it should be."
The two left the public laboratory, then went to the Dragon Blood Assembly Castle, and found the Joseph Golem Shop on the first floor.
Witch Diana paid five thousand magic stones to rent a single room, which was enough to carry the strength of their competition with each other.
Furthermore, there are a large number of medical golems in the testing room of Joseph's Golem Shop, so wizards can compete for strength there and receive quick treatment.
Within the test room.
Locke used the five-headed snake magic plant to randomly superimpose five permanent defensive force fields on himself, namely steam bark, vitality field, harvest force field, oak heavy equipment, and oak belt.
Because the permanent defense field that I know currently has two combinations, I can only adapt a little, disrupt the combinations, pick out four magic spells from the two combinations, and use them with the neat bark engraved on the Yunhai Wusong Mountain to form a simple version of five superimposed permanent defense fields.
One more one is not enough, because one more one can form the power of Mist, or form the life reload.
Diana Witch looked at the five-headed snake magic plant on Locke's left hand. "It seems that you have also made progress. Even without borrowing the power of the Suleas, can you use this set of combined magic alone?"
"But your current state is not as amazing as the nine permanent defensive force fields you had in the Yunze Cup."
The next moment, two laurel leaf scimitars appeared in the hands of Diana Witch. At the same time, her permanent defense field [Full Moon Barrier], like a full moon, jumped out of her shadow and continued to expand, colliding with the five permanent defense fields on Locke.
