Above the mage!

Chapter 388 Swallowing the Spiritual Essence
Previously, Gaode had ordered the hunters of the Zhenbing tribe to go out hunting and bring the underground creatures back to Phoenix so that he could kill them and quickly obtain the origin.

With this, he quickly obtained a large number of first-ring origins, which he had been "squandering" until now, and he was once again in a financially tight situation.

Later, the hunters were not allowed to continue hunting because, firstly, all the common ground creatures in the area near the Zhenbing Tribe had already been hunted by the hunters of the Zhenbing Tribe. It would be meaningless to continue hunting and the result would be counterproductive.

Another point is that Gode now belongs to the Plantagenet Dynasty and travels between the North, and often only comes back once every few months.

If these captured earth vein creatures are to be kept until Gaode comes back to "harvest" the origin, they must be fed first.

At that time, Jinhui Farm was still being developed and expanded at full speed, and food was not yet abundant. After some consideration, Godard decided not to add any extra burden to Phoenix.

After nearly a year of development, Phoenix now has more than enough manpower and food, and it is no problem for it to take on this extra work.

However, one thing that is more troublesome is that most of the underground creatures are carnivores, and it is impossible to feed them barley directly. You have to spend some extra effort to arrange food for them.

These underground creatures are left for Gaode to "slaughter". There is no need to feed them too well, but letting them starve to death is not okay either.

While thinking about the food problem, Gao De suddenly remembered the [Divine Berry Technique] that he had just obtained from the Sea Sentinel with his second-class merit:
Up to 10 berries appear in your hand. The fruit is imbued with magic for the duration of the spell. Each transformed berry provides enough nutrition for a normal meal for a Medium creature. The created berries lose their potency if not eaten within 24 hours of the spell being cast.

Bonus: Berries created by this spell have a powerful attraction to animals.

One berry can provide the nutrients of a normal meal for a medium-sized creature.

And after adding points to Fengling Yueying, it also has a strong attraction to animals.

Even a carnivore, under the effect of the spell, would certainly not be able to resist a magic berry.

From this perspective, aren't the berries obtained from the [Divine Berry Technique] equivalent to animal feed?

It is a perfect animal feed that is pure natural, healthy, pollution-free and highly compressed.

However, the effectiveness of the berries only lasts for 24 hours, so it is destined not to be used on a large scale.

That's the truth. But when God thought of the [Divine Berry Technique], he also thought of Flora.

A berry, botanically defined, is a juicy, soft-fleshed fruit that usually contains multiple seeds.

In Gaode's previous life, common berries included grapes, tomatoes, blueberries, kiwis, etc.

Since we have the seeds and Flora is there, can we grow the corresponding magical berry tree?

To be honest, in Flora's hands, there is no plant that cannot be grown.

After planting the corresponding magic berry tree, will the magic berries that grow have the same effect as the [Magic Berry Technique] spell?

Gode ​​didn't know the answer to this question, because he couldn't be sure whether the reason why the created berries had those strange effects was because the spell directly and temporarily changed the nature of the berries, or whether it just added a special spell effect to the berries. The berries were just the carrier of the spell and did not change themselves.

As for the former, theoretically, as long as you plant berry seeds that still have magical effects, the corresponding berries will have the same effects after they grow.

In the latter case, you'll just get some ordinary berries that taste okay.

Whether it works or not, let’s try it first.

Gao De didn't hesitate and found Flora to express his thoughts.

"Just leave it to Lady Flora." The little man answered very straightforwardly and became full of energy.

Everyone behaves like this in the areas they are good at. Little people are also human beings, so it is natural for them to be the same.

"Then I'll have to trouble Lady Flora to follow me on this journey again." Goder said softly.

"Lady Flora is used to it."

Although Flora's tone was normal and there should be no other meaning in it, Gaode still felt inexplicably guilty.

After all, Flora has made so many contributions and done so much for Phoenix to achieve its current development.

In comparison, he, the "King of Ice", has a bit of the aura of a hands-off capitalist.

After packing up all the things to be taken to the Plantagenet Dynasty, Godd rode on Deputy Minister Grant's pet snow wolf and headed straight for Valar Bay under the escort of Deputy Director Lanwen.

As for Flora, he would just have to wait until he arrived at Valar Bay and bring her over by canceling and recasting [Summon Magic Pet].

Lady Flora could still accept it as it was just a formality in the small dark room.

——It is equivalent to loading the transition progress bar.

When we arrived at Valar Bay, we went straight into the Sacred Tree Camp and came to the Yugathira tree.

God summons Flora, then casts [Divine Berry+].

As the spell model was activated and the power of the spell was stimulated, a light green light instantly flowed out from Gaode's fingertips, soft and full of upgrades.

In the misty green light, there are dots of golden light. These golden lights are pulled by invisible forces and gradually condense into plump berries.

There are ten berries in total, about the same size as blackberries, with crystal clear skin and a faint emerald green glow. They actually look a bit like diamonds, and the most standard kind.

Each berry is very plump and round, with a faint magic flowing on the surface. The juice inside is extremely abundant, condensed into threads, like tiny vines flowing under the skin.

A breeze blew by, bringing with it a sweet fragrance, somewhat like a mixture of wild berries and honey, sweet but not greasy, with a hint of the scent of grass and trees deep in the forest, fresh and natural.

This scent must be what attracts animals.

The moment Gode saw the berries appear, the snow wolf belonging to Grant twitched its nose slightly, and then its originally lazy body instantly tensed up.

Its eyes widened and its gaze became extremely hot. It stared at the berries in his hand and an unconscious low whimper came from its throat.

However, it had already been tamed, so even though it was seduced by the scent of the magic berry and could hardly control itself, it did not do anything out of the ordinary.

Gao De smiled slightly and threw a berry to the snow wolf. "Thank you for your hard work."

Every time I go back to the North, back and forth between Varar Bay and Phoenix, it is it that carries me.

The snow wolf's originally tense body suddenly shot out, accurately caught the berries thrown by Gode, and chewed them gently. Its tail swayed unconsciously from side to side, constantly slapping the snow behind it, splashing a cloud of fine snowflakes.

The berry was not big, so it swallowed it in two bites, followed by a slight burp in its throat.

——I’m full.

After seeing this, Gao De finally had a clear understanding of how [Divine Berry Technique+] "will have a strong attraction to animals".

Looking at this scene, his eyes flickered slightly, and he thought of some possible uses of [Divine Berry Technique+] that might have miraculous effects.

But the most important thing at the moment is to plant trees.

Gao De picked up a magic berry and put the rest aside for the time being. Then he pinched the magic berries with his fingers slightly, and the air suddenly emitted a richer sweet scent.

He carefully took out a dark brown seed, which was the seed of the magic berry, and handed it to Flora: "I'll leave it to you, Lady Flora."

Flora took the seeds.

"Gem Sweetberry."

"Ok?"

"Its name."

"Oh!"

“Yes!”

"Trouble?"

"It needs to be watered with moon dew and fed with gem powder regularly."

"Moon dew?" "Dew collected at night when the moon is bright."

"Any gem will do?"

"Yes."

"That's easy." Gao De breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that if he wanted a specific type of gemstone, he might be able to find it in the North if he was lucky, but if he was unlucky, he might not be able to find it no matter how hard he looked.

Since it's a gem, it's easy.

"Let Sunaifah prepare gem powder for Lady Flora." He said to Flora.

"Lady Flora will tell her."

After confirming that the growth requirements of the magical berry, namely the "Gem Sweet Berry", could be met, Gao De felt relieved.

"Then I'll leave first. I'll leave this place to Lady Flora?" He asked for Flora's opinion.

"Just leave it to Lady Flora." Flora acted like a Minister of Agriculture and patted her chest.

Gode ​​nodded and prepared to start the astral teleportation.

When he turned around, he found Flora sitting on a leaf of the Yugathira, staring at him without blinking.

"." Gao De, who felt somewhat embarrassed, asked helplessly, "Why is Lady Flora looking at me all the time?"

"Send the mage~" Flora asked back: "What's wrong?"

Flora usually sat on Goder's shoulders, but this time she sat higher than him, and the two of them sat one above and one below, looking into each other's eyes.

Looking at Flora's clear eyes, Goder finally gave in and said, "I'll take Lady Flora out to play before I come back next time."

The clear eyes became scorching.

"Four horses can't catch up!" She said, flapped her wings, and finally stopped looking at Gao De.

Colorful astral energy flowed down from the leaves of Yugathshila and soon gathered into a mysterious and grand astral portal.

Gao De carried the huge package on his back, which was a bit heavy even with the [Heavy Carry Technique], took a deep breath, adjusted his pace, and stepped inside.

When he reappeared, he had returned to the living area on the second floor of the Walmart Magic Materials Store.

The shop does not provide accommodation when recruiting workers.

After closing the shop at night, Joel returned to his rented house. The second floor still belonged to Gaode, and Joel was not allowed to go upstairs without permission.

Therefore, Gao De was not afraid that his sudden appearance would cause Joel to think too much, after all, he didn't even know when he came.

Looking at the time, the North and the Plantagenet Dynasty seem to be separated only by the Erwenraya Mountains, but because the North is vast, the distance is not close and there is some "time difference".

It is now afternoon.

The sunlight shines through the window onto the ground, forming golden spots.

It is a completely different style from the northern scenery in the north.

Gaode first took out the high-level blood food prepared for Tuanzi, and then moved the package full of special magic materials from the North downstairs.

As usual, there was no customer in the store at this time. Joel was daydreaming out of boredom. When he heard Gode's heavy footsteps, he subconsciously turned around to look.

After spotting Gaode, he immediately came forward to help.

After the two of them worked together to carry the large package downstairs, Joel took a breath and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He was somewhat curious about what was in the package, but he did not ask any further questions.

"Unpack the packages and put the things on top." Gao De waved his hand and signaled.

"Okay, sir." After hearing Gode's order, Joel acted quickly and efficiently.

Was it cargo?

As he thought about it, he squatted down and skillfully untied the knot on the package with his hands.

As soon as the door opened, a wide variety of magic materials fell down with a clanging sound, which was particularly loud in the deserted shop.

The first thing that caught his eye was a piece of ore emitting a faint blue light. The surface was covered with strange lines, and there seemed to be a blue liquid flowing slowly inside the ore.

"Frost Star Ore is a third-level ore that contains rich ice element magic. It is suitable for making ice element extraordinary equipment. This piece weighs almost three pounds. Let's price it at 350 gold coins. Put it in the most conspicuous place."

When God saw Joel pick up the ore, he explained it to him to make it easier for him to sell it to customers and set a price.

This is already the highest level of magic material brought by Gaode.

Walmart's magic materials store is still small, just an inconspicuous little magic materials store. If it really brings too many high-end magic materials in, it would be "unworthy of the position".

It's like a small gold shop in the countryside selling "Heart of the Ocean". Whether anyone can afford it or not, and whether others believe it is the real thing is another matter. But it is certain to be visited by thieves the next day or directly attract robbers.

Therefore, Gao De brought many kinds of magic materials, but the grade was mainly first-grade. He brought this piece of Hanxing Mine as a treasure to attract customers.

The thick white horn was from the first-order earth creature, the cold-horned deer, as well as a green skull and various crystal fragments. Joel placed these magic materials on the counter one by one.

Gaode explained the situation to Joel while making corresponding pricing decisions.

Joel's eyes sparkled as he memorized Goder's explanation.

It took almost an hour to finish it all.

Joel was exhausted, but very excited, his face flushed.

Because the "boss" finally purchased goods, and there were so many good goods at once.

He finally no longer had to worry about the Walmart magic materials store going out of business and him losing his job.

After arranging matters at Wal-Mart's magic material store, Gao De took Tuanzi's blood food, left the store, and returned to the Sea Sentinel dormitory.

Although the magic material shop also has accommodation facilities, the "dormitory" provided by the Sea Sentinel is more complete in terms of both environment and surrounding facilities.

So Gaode still lives in the dormitory, including some important items.

——Even if he was not there, no thief would be bold enough to steal things from the Shanghai sentry’s territory.

As soon as he returned to the Sea Sentinel dormitory, Gao De prepared to start something he had been planning for some time.

He took out an extremely exquisite crystal bottle from the box under the bed in the bedroom.

Inside the bottle, there are three drops of sticky blue jelly.

Spiritual essence.

Looking at these three drops of spiritual essence, Gao De hesitated for a moment and frowned slightly, but he quickly made up his mind and his eyes became firm.

Gao De took a deep breath, opened the bottle, tilted his head back, and stretched his neck slightly.

He tilted the crystal bottle slightly, and a drop of spiritual essence slid down extremely smoothly under the action of gravity and slid accurately into Gaode's mouth.

As soon as he took a sip, Gaode felt an unpleasant and pungent taste bursting out in his mouth, which felt a bit like gasoline.

But now that it has come to this, there is naturally no regret.

Gode ​​swallowed slightly, his Adam's apple rolling up and down. The spiritual essence that Master Lupin had solemnly warned him to be highly poisonous was swallowed into his stomach just like that!
