Above the mage!

Chapter 436 Four Elements Magic Plants

When he first arrived in Phoenix, Catherine and Loic did not restrict God's freedom of movement.

Then, when Godard was strolling in Phoenix, he found - or should I say, Flora found - a shriveled sapling at a roadside stall.

At that time, the sapling was not far from drying up and dying, and its leaves were shriveled and seemed like they would be blown away by the wind at any time.

And among those shriveled white leaves, there are seven or eight small blue "berries" hidden.

According to Flora, it was a very valuable magical fruit tree, and it still had life, so she had a way to keep it alive.

So Gaode spent a zero-level ice soul stone and exchanged it for this magic fruit tree from the stall owner, and Flora received it in her small space specially used to store tree seeds.

However, too many major events happened in a short period of time, and the tree species were collected by Flora, so God simply forgot about the magic fruit tree.

He forgot, but Flora never did.

During the time that Gode was away from the North, Flora had already taken out and planted the magic fruit tree.

With her ability and the unconditional cooperation of the Zhenbing tribe, it would be easy for her to grow a magic fruit tree.

It takes a very long time for the magic fruit tree to grow, even a hundred years is not an exaggeration.

However, this magic fruit tree is quite special. It has already grown seven or eight young fruits while it is still in the seedling stage.

Under Flora's careful care, the young fruit absorbed magic and nutrients, developed rapidly, and matured just in the past two days.

After picking the fruits, the people there quickly transported them from Valar Bay to Phoenix and then handed them over to Flora.

As for Flora, after receiving the fruit, she went to find Gode.

"You mean, this magic plant is called Everfrost Oak, a variant of the water element magic tree, and a second-level magic tree?!" After listening to Flora's introduction, Gao De was surprised and happy.

Of course, the joy was not just because of a second-level magic tree.

But according to Flora, as long as the Everfrost Oak is watered with the blood of ice elemental creatures for a long time, it will continue to bear fruit, and the fruit it produces is the Ice Element Fruit.

Gao De looked at the eight ripe Ice Yuan Fruits on the table.

They look like large berries, but their surface is covered with frost-like patterns and emit a faint mist, which looks extremely strange.

Long-term use of Bingyuan Fruit will significantly enhance the user's body's adaptability to cold environments.

But that's secondary.

Gao De picked up an ice fruit and put it into his mouth.

In an instant, a chill exploded from the tip of the tongue, as if holding a small piece of ice, and the coldness rushed straight into the throat.

The fruit bursts when bitten between teeth and has a sweet taste.

As the fruit pulp enters the stomach, a slightly numbing and stimulating sensation quickly spreads throughout the body.

This is how the Ice Yuan Fruit improves adaptability to cold environments.

Gaode didn't feel anything obvious, simply because his cold resistance was already too high.

However, this is not important.

Gao De spat out a light blue ice-core-shaped fruit core from his mouth.

This is both a fruit core and a tree species.

Each Bingyuan fruit contains a core that can be used as a tree seed.

Of course, if each tree species wants to germinate and grow, it also needs to be watered with a large amount of blood from ice elemental creatures.

When the permafrost oak was first discovered, it looked almost dead because it lacked the blood of ice elemental creatures and was inadequately nourished.

In fact, the growth and cultivation requirements of the Everfrost Oak are among the more demanding among the second-level magic tree species.

It requires long-term nourishment from the blood of ice elemental creatures.

Watering it once or twice is easy, and watering it a dozen times is not difficult either.

However, it needs the blood of ice elemental creatures from the time it sprouts until its natural death.

The lifespan of a magic tree is measured in hundreds of years, and a thousand years is not an exaggeration.

It is conceivable what a terrible consumption this will be.

But no matter what, the permafrost oak is theoretically a second-level magic tree species that can produce long-term and stable results.

"That's it!" Gao De made up his mind immediately.

It wasn't a decision he made on the spur of the moment.

If the everfrozen oak tree species were to be fully promoted as the holy object of the ice wizard's covenant, the blood of ice elemental creatures required would be a huge pit, and it would not be satisfied by hunting alone.

But, among the three major ice tribes in the North, there is a Frostwolf clan famous for raising snow wolves. Snow wolves are typical ice elemental creatures.

On the premise that the food is sufficient and the nutrition is adequate, regular bleeding of the snow wolf will not have any negative impact on the snow wolf.

However, this also makes the plan to conquer and annex the Frostwolf Clan more urgent.

"First, give these ice fruit cores to the ice wizards in the tribe to form a contract. Then, notify the hunters in the tribe to take action and collect blood for the ever-frozen oak trees. Before conquering the Frostwolf clan, we still have to rely on hunting to obtain the blood of ice elemental creatures."

After a brief thought, Gao De issued several orders in succession, "In addition, the mages in the tribe who master the art of nature should focus their main efforts on promoting the growth of everfrost oak trees."

Every ice fruit produced by the Everfrost Oak represents a second-level magic tree seed and a wizard who is about to master the "art of nature".

When playing a strategy management game, isn’t the first thing to do to consider the worker population?

reasonable.

Flora brought more surprises.

"The Rock Ridge Colossus, the Featherwhistle tree of Azuth, and the Firecurse tree of Angmar." Gode repeated the names of the three trees mentioned by Flora.

According to Flora, the Everfrost Oak is a variant of the Water Elemental Magic Tree.

In addition to the water elemental magic tree, there are also three other elemental magic trees: earth, wind, and fire, which are also second-level magic trees.

The Earth Elemental Magic Tree, also known as the Rock Ridge Colossus Wood, is a magic tree that looks like a giant stone pillar.

It prefers to take root in mineral veins or rock layers near mineral veins. These areas contain a large amount of earth element energy, which is suitable for the growth of Rock Ridge Colossus Wood.

The Rock Ridge Colossus tree will produce rock fruits, which can increase the bone density of the user if consumed for a long time.

The wind elemental magic tree, the Azuth Featherwhistle tree, has a slender, straight trunk of silver-gray color, and a surface as smooth as a fine mithril spear;

The branches are like bowstrings, elastic and light; the leaves are feather-like; the fruit is like a miniature elf horn, called feather fruit, which can enhance the user's physical endurance if consumed for a long time.

Azusa feather whistle trees are usually found in areas with extreme wind environments, such as canyon tops where hurricanes often rage.

The Angmar Cursed Tree is a fire elemental magic tree. Its trunk is thick and twisted, and it is charred black. Its surface is covered with grooves that look like flowing lava, and dark red resin seeps out of the grooves.

The fire fruit it produces will significantly enhance the body's ability to adapt to hot environments. These three magical trees, like the Everfrost Oak, require long-term irrigation of the blood of corresponding elemental creatures to grow.

More importantly, the fruit cores of these three magic trees can be planted as seeds.

The reason why Flora mentioned them was that if Gode could gather these three elemental magic trees, Flora could cultivate four-element magic trees through grafting.

Speaking of the grafting method, it was also Gaode who "taught" Flora.

Grain crops are hybridized, while fruit trees are grafted, which are two of the more important cultivation methods.

This is a digression. According to Flora, the final four-element magic tree cultivated will be a third-level magic tree.

Its kernel has the same characteristics as the original mother tree and can be used as a seed.

That is, as long as the remaining three elemental magic trees are gathered, the North will be able to obtain a third-level magic tree species with long-term and stable production.

Once completed, the North will have a stable output of first-level gem sweet berry species, second-level everfrost oak species, and third-level four-element magic plant species.

This is already a complete inheritance path.

"Lady Flora is truly the Pillar of the North!" Excited, Goder couldn't help but pick up Flora, rubbed her cheek against her, and praised her sincerely.

"The Pillar of the North?" Flora turned her face away, puzzled.

"It is the sky that supports the North."

"Wow~"

"It's time to give a name to the territory opened up by Yugathira." Gode said again.

Originally the area was small, so Gaode had not thought about naming it.

But now, with Yugath-Shira's advancement to the second level, the area of ​​the territory opened up has reached 85 acres, and the types and numbers of trees planted are increasing, which can be regarded as the establishment of a preliminary ecosystem.

At this time, naming is very necessary.

"Does Lady Flora have any ideas?" Goder asked with his head down.

After all, this is a territory opened up by Ugathira, so we must respect Flora's opinion.

The little man thought about it and threw the question back to Gao De: "Master, what do you think?"

Goder shook his head helplessly, "Then let's call it Flora Forest."

Both the farm and the forest depend on Flora.

So even though there is already a Flora Abundance Farm, Godd doesn't mind having another Flora Forest.

"Flora Forest~Mage, you are very smart!"

Lady Flora expressed her 100% satisfaction.

Another week had passed since Gao De's successful ring upgrade, and it had been a full half month since he returned to the North.

Astral Transfer's charge is full again.

However, Gode did not say that he was in a hurry to leave the North and go to the Plantagenet Dynasty.

One is that the potion materials for the three second-ring spells [Bloody Face], [Light Armor], and [Spider Web Shelter] have not been gathered yet, so we need to wait a little longer.

The other is that the follow-up impact of the blood hymn triggered by his upgrade is fermenting.

Even though the affairs of the Ice Clan were led by Sunaifa, as the king of the Zhenbing tribe, it would not be good for him to continue to be a hands-off boss at such a critical moment.

The last reason is that "The Secret of Ice" improves fastest in the northern environment.

"The Secret of Zhenbing" mainly relies on bloodline power to improve itself, and it will improve quickly even if Gaode does nothing.

It is equivalent to leaving the machine idle for practice.

The level cap of "Zhenbing Secret" depends on bloodline strength, while the level increase rate depends on the environment.

In the North and in the Plantagenet Dynasty, the level increase rate of "The Secret of Ice" may differ by more than five or six times.

In this situation, Gao De naturally wanted to stay in the North as long as possible so that he could break through the first level of "The Secret of Zhenbing" as soon as possible.

His wizard level was increasing at an incredibly fast speed, and his spell learning speed was even more exaggerated, but Gao De still often felt that there was not enough time in a day.

The essence is that he has too many things to take care of.

After obtaining the [Zhenbing Bloodline], he naturally embarked on the path of practicing both the Dharma and the Cultivation Technique.

"Qingmu Changsheng Jing", "Zhenbing Secret", rune literature, combat mage skills training, and even various miscellaneous knowledge that needs to be learned, such as knowledge of geography and customs, knowledge of earth veins and creatures, and even the way of ruling.

This is about skill learning.

In terms of "industry", from small businesses like Walmart Magic Materials Store and Harland Shipyard to large businesses like Phoenix and even the vast North, they all require his concern and worry.

In addition, he also had to take into account Yugatshira's advancement and his own development among the Sea Sentinels.
The former is the foundation of his practice and is also the most important factor in whether he can finally achieve the seventh or even eighth ring.

The latter was the cornerstone of his foothold in the Plantagenet dynasty and an important support for the rapid development of the North.

Anyway, Gaode reviewed it and found that none of them could be put aside temporarily.

"Fortunately, I have a long life." He rubbed his swollen eyebrows and said self-deprecatingly.

He stood up, walked to the window, looked out, and his left eye pupil flashed with golden light.

With the help of Mandor's Magic Eye, Goder saw from a distance of several blocks that the acting minister, Peter, who was appointed by Sunaifa, and the workers were spreading baskets of heavy, processed stones on the ground as the foundation of the road.

Although it was in the cold north, Minister Beard was only wearing thin clothes that could not hide his bulging muscles.

If I remember correctly, it seemed that on the second day after I returned to Phoenix, Minister Peter also left the Valar Tunnel and returned to Phoenix.

However, it is understandable that the Walar Tunnel and the Phoenix expansion are both key projects of the Ministry of Construction. As the minister, it is normal for Peter to run between the two.

Looking at the road that had begun to take shape, Gao De nodded with satisfaction.

It is hard to describe the sense of accomplishment that comes from seeing a wild city becoming more and more presentable in your hands.

"Young Clan Leader, it's been more than a week since you came back, and I haven't seen His Highness come to inspect our work once. Your busy work this week is like flirting with a blind man," the confidant next to him said, panting, after putting down the stone slab on his shoulder.

"What do you know?" Bird didn't care about his confidant's "complaint".

"You said that doing good things is important, and it is equally important to let His Highness see it. That's why you came back immediately after His Highness returned to Phoenix, just to let His Highness see our work and make our presence felt."

"As a result, you even personally moved the stones and worked so hard, but His Highness never came down once."

"It doesn't take one's own eyes to see it. As long as we do something right under His Highness' nose, he will see it." Peter said confidently, then raised his head and glanced, and immediately shouted:
"Stop, stop, stop. There must be something wrong with this stone!"

He took a few quick steps forward, held down a stone slab that he was about to lay, and knocked on it. "See? The pattern on this stone slab is not right. There may be cracks inside."
