The Wizarding Age: I Can Explain Everything

Chapter 12 The Erudite Junior

After introducing themselves to each other, Yin Xue led Pei Ze into the small building.

What surprised Pei Ze was that from the outside, the small building with an area of ​​no more than 150 square meters was quite unique inside.

Whether it was the corridor that was more than meters long, or the five-acre garden in front of me, it all showed that the small building was fused with some kind of space magic.

"This is the area you need to look after."

Yin Xue led Pei Ze around the medicine garden, finally returned to the starting point, turned around and looked at Pei Ze.

"There are a total of 36 types of plants in this garden. Because of their different habits, each type needs to be cared for and watered in different ways. Therefore, the caregiver must be familiar with the growth habits and maintenance methods of each plant."

"Junior Pei Ze, as the agent of the mission, I need to examine you first and then decide whether you have the ability to accept this mission."

As early as when registering for the task, Pei Ze was told that he had to go through an inspection before he could take over the task. He was not surprised at this time, and readily agreed.

"Then please tell us about the growth habits and maintenance methods of these plants." Yin Xue said, pointing to the plants in the garden.

Pei Ze nodded calmly, took a step forward and came to a vine covered with barbs and with dark red fruits on the top. He observed it for a moment and said slowly: "This is a red ganache. It likes sunlight. It needs boiling water every three days." It is watered once and matures in three months. When picking, the fruit branches must be burned with a flame, and then the fruit is stored in a silver box. This fruit is usually used to make blood-boiling potions."

After saying this, Pei Ze took a few steps forward and stopped in front of another plant surrounded by black cloth.

The shape of this plant is a bit like a sunflower, but the whole body is off-white, and the dense lines in the center of the stamen faintly outline the pattern of a human face, as if it is crying towards you.

"This is the human-faced sunflower. It likes a warm environment, but the place where it grows must be isolated from the sun with a black cloth. Every seven days, 30 ml of % concentration of Yunling grass extract is watered until it matures in one hundred days. Because the human-faced sunflower is mature, The smell of the juice has a strong hallucinogenic effect, so you need to take a sobering potion in advance before picking, or wear an anti-hallucinogenic magic item. By the way, this thing is often used to make screaming potions."

"This is sand snake poison ivy."

"This is dovetail grass"

Pei Ze stopped in front of a dovetail grass and squinted his eyes to look at it carefully.

This dovetail plant looked exactly like the one next to it, but after observing it for a while, he still found something quite different.

".This is the Mandrake. It likes to bury itself in the soil and change its leaves into the same appearance as the surrounding plants to avoid predators. Once caught, it will hypnotize with a high-pitched cry. All surrounding creatures will then take the opportunity to escape, so it is best to plug the ears before catching it, or take anti-sleep medicine. Of course, there is another easier way."

As if realizing that it had been discovered, the 'Dovetail' suddenly started shaking violently, and then a creature that looked like a radish, but had a small face and short limbs suddenly emerged from the soil, and rushed into the distance. .

It's a pity that before he ran far, Pei Ze, who had been prepared, grabbed the blade of grass on his head and lifted it up.

As soon as the legs were off the ground, the Mandrake immediately opened its mouth wide without hesitation, and was about to cry out.

But before that, Pei Ze had already hit the Mandrake with a stun spell, and suppressed the mandrake's cries before it had time to yell.

The mandrake wrinkled its small face, and its body instantly went limp.

Pei Ze stuffed it back into the hole and stepped on it a few times before continuing to explain other plants.

Under the warm sun, the young man strolled among many exotic plants, calmly explaining the characteristics of each plant, all kinds of knowledge at his fingertips, and his whole person exuded a kind of intellectual brilliance.

Yin Xue's eyes flashed at the side.

These days, she has not been able to inspect many students who want to take on tasks, including even second-level wizard apprentices.

But no one is as knowledgeable about various rare plants as Pei Ze.

Her original expectation for Pei Ze was that he only needed to know about twenty kinds of plants, and the rest could be learned while taking care of the medicine garden.

After all, it is not easy to find a junior student who knows a lot about rare plants. It is impossible to recruit people without lowering the conditions.

But now it seems that she underestimated Pei Ze.

For a first grader, being able to understand rare plants to this extent is already considered knowledgeable!
I didn’t expect that there would be such powerful people among this year’s freshmen!
For a time, Yin Xue greatly admired this knowledgeable junior.

After Pei Ze finished talking about the last plant, Yin Xue applauded lightly, and said with a smile, "Student, you are even better than I imagined."

She flicked her wrist slightly, and an oval-shaped seed appeared in the palm of her white palm, and then the palm was turned over, and the seed slowly fell to the ground with gravity.

"Next, you only need to use the plant aura to let this seed germinate, and you will pass the inspection."

Amazed by Pei Ze's deep understanding of rare plants, Yin Xue secretly decided that even if Pei Ze failed several times, as long as he could successfully display the aura of plants, the latter would be considered a pass.

But what happened next made her eyes widen slightly.

I saw Pei Ze pointing his index finger at the seeds on the ground. As he uttered strange syllables, a soft and warm white light condensed out of thin air from his fingertips and slowly fell on the seeds like raindrops.

Hiss!

The moment the light spot fell in, the seed split open suddenly, and green branches emerged from it, intertwined and twisted upwards, growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming taller and larger.

In a blink of an eye, a sapling with intertwined vines appeared in front of my eyes, and white buds bloomed slowly at the ends of the branches.

"Fully grasp!"

Yin Xue was taken aback, she had no idea that this junior was not only knowledgeable, but also so powerful in spells.

There are not many people who practice spells to the point of complete mastery in the first grade.

Yin Xue became more and more curious, what is the background of this junior?
"A great spell." Yin Xue smiled, "Junior, I will trouble you to take care of this place for a while."

"Yes, senior sister." Pei Ze smiled slightly.

With the 50 contribution points from the mission reward, he no longer needs to worry about the Yunling Grass blades and spell models for a while.

"This is the key to and from the medicine garden."

Yin Xue handed over a leaf that was as green as a gem.

"Spell traps are set up in the yard outside the medicine garden. Only with the key or someone guiding you can you enter and exit safely."

"In addition, spell traps have been set up in other parts of the medicine garden. Even I cannot enter and exit at will in many places. It is best for you to stay here and not run around. If you have anything, just tell me."

Pei Ze nodded and took the key, carefully put it in his pocket, and asked, "Sister, when will I start the mission?"

Yin Xue smiled and said, "If you have nothing else to do, you can start today."

"I'm free now." Pei Ze said without hesitation.

He is currently short of money to buy spell models. Of course, the sooner he can start the task, the better, so that he can get paid as soon as possible.

Yin Xue nodded and led Pei Ze towards the wooden house not far away.

"This is a warehouse for storing maintenance tools and medicinal solutions. You can get everything you need to water plants on weekdays."

Under Yin Xue's explanation, Pei Ze quickly became familiar with the process of taking care of the garden and watered the plants in the garden himself.

It is worth mentioning that although there are many plants in the garden, they actually do not need to be watered every day.

Many plants are watered once every three to five days. If you stagger the watering time, the task is actually not very onerous.

Compared with physical strength, this task is more demanding on knowledge.

You must know that any plant in this garden is worth more than a thousand contribution points. Once it is damaged due to the ignorance of the caregiver, the loss will be huge.

It was also because of this that the owner of the medicine garden paid a high salary to recruit wizard apprentices with sufficient knowledge.

"Knowledge is money after all."

Pei Ze thought to himself while watering the plants.
