Sunday, Baitrila Dharma College, main tower.,
"Fantasy, my good brother, you look so depressed, what is troubling you?" Ampelom's loud voice once again spread around.
Several familiar figures surrounded their smallest friend, like tall pine trees surrounding a short shrub.
Delta slumped weakly on the chair, raised his head to the sky, and looked at the magic chandelier on the ceiling with his delicate and genderless face, trying to use the dazzling white light to hypnotize himself into forgetting reality. He waved feebly.
Waving his hand: "I'm gone."
"But you are clearly here." Ampelom didn't understand his terminology very well. "Gone" does not mean "death" in Disorn, but just means "does not exist here".
"What's the difference between presence and absence?" Delta suddenly became a philosopher. His inspiration converged and he no longer felt the outside world. He let his thoughts diverge as empty as the void. "If it exists now, it will not exist in the future. There is no eternal existence in the world.
This is true for things as big as life itself and as small as peaceful life." He raised his hand as if to catch the light from the chandelier, and chanted in an aria: "Everything will be worn away with the flow of time.
No trace left in the world is spared.”
Several of his friends showed thoughtful expressions, using their eyes and regular mental touches to convey private messages to each other where Delta could not see them.
Something unusual happened to Fantasy again, Diego, do you know?
The wizard from the spiritual school is looking for him again?
Because of the change in the academic system, they are all worried about how to let their students graduate smoothly, so how can they have time to embarrass him?
That was probably because his Frederick I died unfortunately.
Impossible, the probability is too small. The abyss cactus is a very tenacious magical plant.
Then I guess Sir Chris finally gave him a private assignment.
Does Fantasy need ordinary homework to improve himself? What he is best at is text-based matters.
That's right, could it be that he fell in love with a certain girl without telling us, and then broke up due to some reasons this week?
Ampelom, you have an idea! But last Sunday I didn’t seem to see him showing signs of being in love. He has always been very bland, even though I have no relevant experience.
So we fell in love at the beginning of this week, but broke up before this Sunday, right?
Baker! I can’t tell you are this kind of person! But this conjecture sounds too pitiful. Such a short love relationship will never happen in reality.
The world is so big and full of wonders. This is what Fantasy himself said.
When Delta regained his mental state and sat up straight, he found that his friends were looking at him with strange eyes, and the spirituality they exuded was also indescribably weird. Anyway, he couldn't identify what the emotion was.
"What are you looking at? Don't look at me like that."
The friends looked away one after another, each acting as if nothing had happened.
One year has passed, and the sixteen-year-old "adults" in the same class have grown up like bamboo shoots after the rain. The average height of these guys of Northern descent is one meter. Only Delta adheres to his original intention, is different from the vulgarity, and is a
He has only grown one centimeter and is less than 1.5 meters tall. Now all his friends have to look up at him.
However, it is not that these young people have no other changes except their height.
Baker, who has carrot-like red hair, has lost weight and is no longer the largest among them. He now wears a pair of pince-nez glasses and has a bookish air.
Although Diego's appearance is still ordinary, his figure is tall and straight, and his personality has become calmer. Now it is becoming more and more difficult for Delta to sense his emotional fluctuations.
The sinews on the white-haired Suofa's body disappeared, the original sharpness disappeared, and the calluses on the pen in his hand became deeper. A fat, pig-like white-haired fox sneakily poked half of its head out of his robe,
Looking around.
The one who has changed the most is Amperom. This boy with brown and curly hair that looks like wavy hair was originally just an ordinary passerby. Now he has puffed up countless muscles like a balloon, and his arms are twice as thick as a year ago.
, the shoulders are also a lot wider, and when he swings his arms, the muscles of his shoulders move like a cat. He looks strong and explosive, and in one fell swoop he took away the throne of the burliest person in the small team.
Of course, there are still the same number of words.
His epic evolution is thanks to the cane Diego once gave him. It is an ebony cane with a emerald and white enamel covering the head. It is an exquisite gentleman's self-defense cane. Just hold the head of the cane and twist it.
There is also a stabbing sword drawn from it, which is very handsome. When Ampelom received this gift, he carried it with him every day.
Until one day his mentor discovered that there was a rapier hidden in it. He thought that Amperom was interested in this area, so he decided to train him specially. The specific method was to confiscate the gift Diego gave him, and then use the cane of his youth to
He gave him the staff and ordered him to carry it with him at all times until he could adapt to it before returning the sword cane to him.
This staff is made of heavy dense iron birch that is harder than steel and has high magic resistance as the shell. Inside, there is a long copper tire mixed with mithril and carved with runes to improve magic control. The inside of the copper tire is also
It is hollow and filled with liquid pure mercury.
A six-foot-long staff weighs fifteen pounds, about the same weight as the Morning Star Warhammer used by the knight in the opening position.
Amperom is still exercising day and night with this overweight staff. His physical fitness has improved rapidly, and his personality has also changed a lot. He suddenly has an obsession with muscles. Delta can often be with him on Sunday mornings.
We meet unexpectedly in the physical training room.
"So, what exactly happened?" Diego still planned to get the truth from the person involved.
"My mentor gave me a contract and forced me to sign it." Delta said distressedly. He really didn't expect that mentor Chris, who had always been very talkative, would suddenly give a task, and the penalty for breach of contract would be expulsion from the academy, witness
It was Sophia Collister, the director of the Alchemy Department. God knows how she invited the director.
"Snqi?" Ampelom became excited.
Delta rolled his eyes: "It's not that serious. It's just that I was asked to be the person in charge of a project and the project failed and I was fired."
"Isn't this serious?!" Ampelom exclaimed.
Diego asked curiously: "What project?"
He still believed in Delta's level and believed that a failure was unlikely.
Delta leaned down and lifted the suitcase from the ground and spread it on the table. He used his thumb to pry open the buckle, opened the lid and took out a document from inside: "This is a copy of my handwritten copy. Take a look."
Several big heads came together, and shadows were cast from above, completely covering the documents. Delta kicked her legs and moved the chair back to give them a better view.
"Appoint Delta Fantasy as the person in charge of the Magic Plant Hydroponic Project" Amperom read out loud.
“The project is expected to optimize plantation management procedures by planting magic plants in pure water bodies, thereby saving land and manpower.”
"Participants Orian, Sonkas, Seos, and Futrier"
"The application for this project was initiated by Delta Fantasy herself and was approved on January 26, Era 17."
"Approved by: Director of the Alchemy Department Sophia Collister."
"Project compliance requirements: use hydroponics to grow four short-lived magic plants through the seedling stage, and the time limit is one hundred days. Since the person in charge, Delta Fantasy, has not yet graduated, the magic planter assessment and mage courses during the project can be postponed to make up for it.
, will not be recorded as repeating a grade. If you fail to meet the standards within the time limit, you will be dealt with according to the corresponding contract." There is a copy of the blank contract next to it, which indeed indicates the penalty of expulsion from the college if it fails.
"Advance project funding of 4,500 pounds."
"It's quite a lot." Ampelom was surprised by the generous funds, and then continued to read the following two names written in cursive script.
"Witness of the contract: Hercules, a senior lecturer in the Potions Department of the Alchemy Department."
"Contract conclusion: Sophia Collister, director of the Alchemy Department."
"Christopher Chris must trust you very much." Diego said. Being able to get the director of the Alchemy Department to approve a project for a second-year student, and with so much funding, is a treatment that many graduating mages cannot receive.
"She trusts me too much," Delta said helplessly. As someone who was forced to "take the initiative" to launch the project, he was confused when he got the contract. He thought he only had to propose an idea and he would pass.
This project is not difficult for him who has knowledge about the earth. It is simple but not easy either.
Hydroponics is a very basic farming method. Ordinary people who like to grow flowers and plants at home can understand it a little bit. Even if they are not good at it, they have seen pigs running. As a dead house with extensive knowledge, this is also one of his hobbies.
1. He knows several recipes just for adding nutrient solution to water, but the difficulty is not there.
The magic plants planted in Baitrila Master Academy are magic plants!
Magic plants are not ordinary plants! They have a certain ability to move and think, and they will not be like ordinary plants that just stay in one place and are at the mercy of others. If they feel that they are not adapted to the environment, they will definitely run away.
As magic plants that have grown naturally in the soil for generations, they are definitely opposed to the feeling of having their roots completely submerged in water. It is impossible to restrain them with devices and fix the magic plants that want to move in place, as this will hurt them.
, loss of medicinal properties.
Therefore, the main difficulty of this project is actually to find four short-lived magic plants that love water and are resistant to flooding. This type of magic plant is quite rare. Now he only knows one type, which is the fallen vine. Fortunately, it can be used during the project.
Taking classes, checking the library, or asking mages who have experienced going to the southern swamps should be able to solve this problem. But it must be solved quickly, because it takes time for magic plants to grow to the seedling stage. The longer the time is delayed, the closer the project will be to failure.
"The punishment is so severe, what is the reward?" Diego asked again.
Chapter completed!
