Chapter 3: Servant work

The material collection area in the castle contains a total of about 300 types of Warcraft, 400 types of demon insects and 500 types of demon plants. It is divided into 60 areas, and is managed by 60 young servants. Provide a variety of specified materials. In different regions, the number of varieties of Warcraft and Mozhi are also different. In some areas, there may be up to a hundred species of monster plants or monsters, and in some areas only one or two types of Warcraft exist. Those with a small number are often more dangerous and more difficult to collect materials.
Gong Hao's job is to take care of forty-two varieties of No. 13 area, a total of 86 plants. Most of the eighty-six magic plants come from the jungle of Purgatory Island. Four of them are almost extinct in the Fengming Continent, and even in Purgatory Island there are only a few.
Once the caretaker accidentally kills a strain, perhaps the entire Fengming continent will lose a species.
Today Gong Hao is trimming a dragon's whisker. This kind of grass is like a spiritual creature, its leaves and branches will move like human arms. Its rhizome is red and highly corrosive. If it accidentally gets on the skin, it will cause a large area of ​​ulcers, so Gong Hao must handle it carefully.
"Hey, Xiuyi." A small head was pierced outside the flower shed.
Gong Hao turned and looked, it was Fink.
"Why are you here?" Gong Hao asked.
Fink came in with a smile: "My business is done. Anything is fine, just come and see you."
"It sounds like your job is easy."
"My luck is pretty good. Hey, have you heard? Brent's unlucky egg was arranged into area 9. There is a terrible saber-tooth beast. There is only one on the head of the sabre-tooth beast. The table is so big, its teeth are long and sharp. Wow, that thing is really terrible. "Fink's tone was a little gloating, but the way the little guy said was still naive.
He traced the sword-tooth beast's head with his hands, his face full of exaggerated expression.
This Brent had bullied Xiu and Fink when he was on the boat. At that time, Gong Hao had not yet crossed, and the two little boys were beaten up by Bronte, who was a head taller than them. Maybe it's because he's more burly. Thacker sent him to area 9 to serve the fierce fourth-level Warcraft.
"Yes, I heard that. I also heard that Bulunte was crying on the spot." Gong Hao smiled.
"That's right." Fink proudly said: "His job is to grind some powder from the tooth of the saber-toothed animal every day. I heard that the thing has a very magical effect. But I don't like that saber-toothed animal. Others treat their teeth like this. "
"The sabertooth's tooth powder can be used to make mana blocking potions. The sabertooth itself cannot release any spells, but they are extremely powerful and the most rare thing is that they can resist most spell attacks. So its teeth are not only it Its weapon is also its self-defense weapon. "Gong Hao said.
"How did you know?" Fink was surprised.
After returning the pruned dragongrass to a flowerpot, Gong Hao replied, "You know I once served them at Baron Harden. Baron Harden likes hunting. There is a red leaf mountain in the town of South Wales. He was a frequent visitor there, and he also took his son with him. Once we found a saber-toothed beast on the Red Leaf Mountain, and the fierce guy killed three people on the spot. The baron came back seriously ill. He hadn't been to Hongye Mountain for half a year since then. I heard about Sabertooth at that time. "
From the memory of Hugh Glair, Gong Hao found that Baron Harden was a nice man. He is cheerful and generous, but unfortunately he does not have much ability to operate. If it was not for his ancestral support, he might have been bankrupt. Now, except for that pastor, Baron Harden has nothing.
What a pity, if the baron can get richer, maybe he won't be sold to this ghost place.
Alas, rather than regret the barrage of the baron, it is worse than the greed of the angry aunt.
After trimming the dragon's whisker, Gong Hao is the last job in his hand.
Although this is the second day when he came to Purgatory Island, Gong Hao quickly grasped all the matters needing attention. His former student was a senior student in the Department of Chemistry and often participated in various chemical experiments. Strong.
"Okay, I'm done, Fink, let's go out for a walk together. It's better not to stay here anymore." Gong Hao said.
"What's wrong? I think this place is quite good. You can see how beautiful the flowers are," Fink said, pointing to a bright red flower not far away.
Gong Hao's face changed greatly, and he shouted, "Be careful!"
I saw the beautiful flower pointed to by Fink suddenly blooming, and under the calyx was a large circle of dense teeth, and then bit his finger against Fink.
Gong Hao rushed forward and threw Fink on the ground. The sharp bladed calyx rubbed Gong Hao's shoulder and tore off a piece of meat on his arm.
The flower stem is retracted, and the piece of meat is swallowed. The thick flower stem is like a human neck, and the movement of chewing and swallowing can be seen, and the scalp is numb.
Fink's small face was frightened: "Oh, I'm sorry, Xiuyi, I really didn't know that flower would be like this."
"That's Blood Orchid, a jungle killer. It's almost extinct now. This is the only one. Damn, I just fed it, and it wasn't full." Gong Hao grinned in pain. The skin sensitivity of adolescents is much higher than that of adults, and the wounds torn from a large piece of meat are hot and painful.
Grinning at Fink, Gong Hao reluctantly said, "Don't approach the plants here easily. You must know that not only creatures with fangs and claws are terrible."
"Like a woman," Fink quickly said.
Gong Hao looked at Fink in surprise: "Who told you?"
"My father, he used to be an excellent businessman, but was eventually wiped out of all his possessions by a woman. He was drunk because of it, and later died. I was sold here without support. He told before he died. I, all beautiful women are terrible creatures. But I did not expect that a flower would be like this. "
Gong Hao remembered the female intern who blew up the entire laboratory and sent himself here, holding Fink's head: "Yes, your father is right ... And, even if it is not so beautiful Women are equally terrible. "
"But I still like to see pretty girls." Fink smiled sillyly.
Gong Hao also laughed, shaking his body a few times, touching the wound, and he screamed softly.
"Hey, your injury is very serious. You bleed a lot of blood. Let's go to Lord Andrew. This is the Alchemy Castle. It has the best cure."
"No!" Gong Hao was startled, grabbed Fink: "Fink, am I a good friend of you, right?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Fink was a little surprised.
"I just saved your finger, right?"
"Perhaps the whole hand ... its mouth is so big. Well, Xiuyi, what on earth do you want to say to me? Your injury is serious and you can't delay."
"So listen to me, Fink, you owe me a favor. I want you to pay me back now."
"You say what I should do, I listen to you."
"Well, don't tell anyone about my injuries. Remember, don't tell anyone."
Fink looked at Gonghao stupidly, and Gonghao sighed softly: "Trust me, Funk, this place is not as simple as you think. I just don't want Andrew to know that I'm useless. On the contrary, We have to do better than anyone. "
"Is that necessary?" Fink asked wonderingly, "We're just servants. We won't be promoted even if we do well."
"It's very necessary." Gong Hao affirmed, "Remember, Fink, don't come here to find me if there is nothing in the future. If there is something, I will go to you. I need to understand the environment here first, and then Make a decision. "
"Well Xiu, you just saved me, I listen to you. But does your injury really matter?"
"Trust me, it's not a big deal." Gong Hao was sure.
If a person can't see his environment clearly, then he is destined to do nothing for a lifetime.
This sentence was taught to him by Gong Hao's father.
No matter what kind of place Purgatory Island is, Gong Hao can be sure that this place is not a paradise for philanthropists.
All the servants here were bought from the market by the Lance Empire and sent here, and the work here was not safe. If you can not be worked hard, you can be sent elsewhere. Isn't that the same as saying that only people who are passively idle can escape danger?
This paradox will never appear in any intelligent world, whether it is the material world or the magic world.
And the castle on Purgatory Island has been around for 20 years. It does n’t make sense to find 60 servants who are willing to work hard for 20 years. There must be something wrong here!
Because the children who were sent to the island were half-adolescents who were underage, they were not deeply involved in the world, and many people did not know how to deceive people. A simple lie can deceive everyone, but it is impossible to deceive Gong Hao. After all, his thinking is already an adult.
Just for the sake of disguise, many times he had to speak like a twelve-year-old child, but always unintentionally revealed an adult's maturity. This made him somewhat incompatible with other teenagers, except Fink.
Unfortunately, Fink was still naive, and there were many things he couldn't tell Fink. He couldn't tell him that this place was likely to pull all those who didn't work hard and put them to death, or take them to do something else.
No, it shouldn't be executed.
Every month, some young people are sent in thousands of miles, and then one batch is selected to kill? This is meaningless behavior. Purgatory Island is not the place where the death penalty is executed.
So where did those missing young servants go? What did you do? No matter what the answer is, it must be related to the alchemy experiment!
But what exactly is the experiment that needs so many people?
Gong Hao realized that in this world, alchemy is a huge system project, and he knows too little about it.
Before you find your answer, you might want to study the mysteries of alchemy.
After sending away Fink, Gong Hao looked at the eighty-six magic plants in the flower room. He thought that perhaps he should start with these plants in understanding his alchemy.
The wound hurts!
