Chapter 4: Clerk's job

"Sisser."
Cather, who was busy feeding an amethyst bear, turned to look at Gong Hao: "What's the matter, Gler? Is your work done?"
"Yes." Gong Hao replied: "I happen to have time, so I want to come over and see if you need any help from me."
"Oh, that's great, thank you very much, Glyer." Cather cried out. "It just happened that I was too busy here. Did you see the pond next to you? Go get me a golden thread The fish came out, and then pulled out ten scales. Remember not to kill it, only this one is left. "
"Okay, Catherine." Gong Hao walked towards the pond.
"Be careful of its teeth, it's very sharp, but it's a piranha." Sissy yelled, and the bear in the cage roared impatiently. Seth hurriedly threw a large chunk of fresh meat and a few pieces of amethyst into it. The former satisfies the grizzly's stomach, while the latter helps the grizzly recover the wound-it has just drawn a lot of blood.
After a lot of busy work, Sisser finally finished his work, and it was still early to see. Sisser said gratefully, "Thank you very much, Gryle. Today, I have a lot of materials, which is harmful. I have to keep busy, but fortunately, you come to help. "
"Actually, I didn't come here to help, but I happened to come to you to see that you were busy and I was sorry to bother you, so I would help you to do it first."
"That's it, what's the matter?"
"I think you can give me a pen and a few pieces of paper?"
"What do you want that for?" Heather was a little confused.
"It is used to record the list. You know those big men always use their mouths to say what they will need tomorrow, and then leave, but what if we are too busy to forget? I think it would be better to write it down ... you know I know Word."
Heather understood: "I really envy you that you can recognize Chinese characters. I will go to Lord Andrew for a pen and paper. This is not a big deal. There were few servants who knew Chinese characters before, so the list of materials was meaningless. "
"Thank you very much." Gong Hao felt that perhaps the greatest luck that he had come across here was probably Xiu Yilaier's words.
When leaving, Gong Hao said to Cather, "If you are too busy in the future, you can come and call me at any time."
"That's great," Cather rejoiced.
Early the next morning, Cather brought paper and pen for Gong Hao.
Gong Hao began to carefully record the growth status of various magic plants in his flower room.
That's right, Gong Hao asked for pen and paper not to record the list of materials, it was only an incidental effect. His real purpose was to observe, study, and analyze the growth of these magic plants carefully.
One thing Gong Hao didn't understand.
It is these magic plants in the flower room, many of which are already endangered plants. The servants must be careful to serve them, and they must not let them die while obtaining the materials. But in that case, why not cultivate it well?
It seems that the big alchemist who has been in the tower all year round has no habit of sowing knowledge and wealth. From Xiu Yi's memory, Gong Hao also found that the entire Fengming continent almost lacks this concept of reserve for the future. Passionate about looting, used to rely on powerful fighting power to grab food from others, not self-production.
Maybe this is the real reason for the decline of alchemy, otherwise, like these endangered extinct plants, they can completely rise through artificial cultivation.
Gong Hao tried to take better care of these magic plants.
Today, Gong Hao is glad to find that one of the forty-two magic plants he cares for has matured.
It was the blood orchid that ate a piece of meat from Gong Hao, and now Gong Hao paid it back.
His wound hasn't fully healed yet.
A bright red demon seed lay in the palm of Gong Hao's palm like that, exuding a seductive red awn.
If he could plant it, wouldn't he have to worry about the blood orchids extinct once they die every day?
Do it when you think.
Gong Hao went to Seether to ask for a flowerpot, and Seether asked him what to do. Gong Hao answered him, but Seeser shook his head and said, "That's totally meaningless, Glair. Blood orchids are very difficult to cultivate. They are greedy for flesh and blood when they grow, and they need living flesh. "
"I can feed them."
"But that doesn't mean that they can survive. You must know that each plant is spiritual. They cultivate themselves by absorbing the essence of the elements. They are very tender during their infancy and are very easy to die. You may fail if you do this. Great. "
"But I want to try."
"Well, since you are so persistent, then I'll get you a flower pot and see that you can help me do things." Sissy nodded helplessly.
"Better to get a bigger one."
"why?"
"I think a spacious environment is good for it."
Sissy gave him a strange look: "Well, you are a weirdo."
Gong Hao smiled happily.
That night, Cather took the big flower pot to area 13.
Unexpectedly, Andrew came.
"I heard that Blood Orchid bears a seed, and you plan to grow it to life?" Andrew's voice was dark.
Gong Hao thought for a while, and replied very cautiously: "Master Andrew, I heard that the blood orchids of Fengming mainland have disappeared. I think ... I think maybe I can produce a variety of them. In this way, adults When blood orchids are needed for experiments, more materials are available. "
There was a hint of appreciation on Andrew's face: "Very well, it seems that you are not only a beautiful child, but also very sensible and capable of doing things. No wonder the Baroness likes you so much."
"Thank you for your compliments, since I'm here, I should get things done."
"So how do you plan to cultivate it?"
"I looked at Blood Orchids during this time and found that it prefers humid and cold environments, so I plan to move the seeds to a relatively dark corner in the flower room for cultivation. But at present I am not sure how it needs to be cultivated. In order to survive. You know, I still lack knowledge in this area. "
Andrew looked at Gong Hao with a little surprise. He thought for a while and said, "It's not that no one is trying to cultivate a magic plant like blood orchid, but most people have failed. The seeds of blood orchid are We have no use. If you want to try, I won't object. Oh, by the way, if you want to learn more about the magic plant, I suggest going to the first floor of the alchemy tower in your free time. There is a library there , There are a lot of books on this. You can go to the information and it may help you. "
"Can I get into the Alchemy Tower?"
Andrew then remembered that no alchemy tower was allowed to enter. He thought for a while and then said, "I remember you know the words, this is a good thing. I give you a choice. The library of the Alchemy Tower needs a clerk, which is mainly used to record some experimental data and new discoveries of various materials. .Alchemy is a long-term science. No one knows when we will have any new discoveries, so such a clerk is always needed. If you are the clerk, then Pierre will be there. One apprentice was relieved from the heavy recording work. But I won't waive your work in Area 13, let alone cultivate the Blood Orchid. If you fail to do yourself because of the work of the clerk I will not forgive you for your duty. In other words, you will be given the opportunity to enter the first floor of the alchemy tower through additional work. Would you like to? "
Gong Hao's eyes let out a bright light: "I do!"
He certainly was willing, for him, this was a rare opportunity. Being able to enter the library of the alchemy tower means that he can learn a lot about alchemy. If the magician is represented by powerful magic power, then the alchemist is to strengthen himself with rich knowledge.
In any case, Gong Hao cannot miss such an opportunity.
Looking at Gong Hao's excited look, Andrew murmured softly, "It's an interesting kid."
He untied a badge from his chest and threw it to Gong Hao: "With this, you can freely enter and exit the alchemy tower. Those who enter without permission will be killed on the spot by the samurai warrior. But I want to remind you , Your walking range can only be limited to the first floor. If you dare to enter the second floor ... Hum, the alchemist is not only a weapon of the puppet. I will tell you what horror is. "
Then, he turned and left.
Fundamentally, he has no hope of Gong Hao's ability to cultivate bleeding orchids. However, reducing the workload of an apprentice for a mentor is also a good way to please the mentor.
The high tower in the center of the castle has always been the place where servants longed for.
Each level represents a different status.
At the top of the tower is the laboratory of the Great Alchemist Hines. He is like a on the island, overlooking all beings, and masters this little kingdom.
The entire castle had about two hundred samurai warriors, all of whom were obeyed only by Hines. As soon as he orders, these martial samurai will kill any target he specifies for him.
The strength of the samurai warrior is about the equivalent of an ordinary third-level warrior. In the ten-step samurai staircase, such a rank is not high. However, this rank is the most important force of the mainland countries. As the number of warriors in the third tier and above gradually decreases, they are not suitable to become the main arms of the large corps. Therefore, the main arms of the kingdom are generally composed of three to four samurai.
If a third-level warrior is confronted with a puppet warrior, then most of the victory is a third-level warrior, because after all, the puppet warrior is only a puppet created by an alchemist, with low intelligence and lack of flexibility.
However, if a thousand third-level samurai competed with a thousand samurai warriors, the victory must be the samurai warrior, and it was a great victory.
For the same reason, these puppets have no feelings, do not understand fear, are loyal to the general, obey the command, and even if they are allowed to commit suicide, they will never say half a word. Even if their hands and feet are cut off, they will crawl past the enemy to fight.
The only way to destroy them is to completely destroy them.
On the battlefield, such soldiers are undoubtedly the most popular among generals. They do n’t quarrel with the army, they do n’t make a mutiny, they do n’t cause trouble like a group of veterans, they do n’t even need to eat, drink water, they only need energy spar, and they wo n’t even fight in the worst environment. Shouting, even if surrounded by the enemy, there will be no moral decadence, nor will there be signs of escape and defeat, but only death.
Because of this, during the rise of the Reims Empire, it took only about 2,000 martial warriors to defeat an army of 20,000. The horror of the samurai can be seen from this. And this is just an ordinary demon. On top of the samurai warrior, there are even more terrifying, equivalent to the flesh and blood of the fourth-level warrior. I heard that in the century of warfare, there are demons that are comparable to the seventh and eighth-level warriors. Unfortunately, as alchemy is dying, the brooms of alchemy are cherished by various countries. The manufacturing techniques of these demons are gradually lost.
And the legendary most terrifying demon is the troll built by the great alchemist Electra. Its combat power is close to the top warrior. During those crazy years, Electra used his Demon Legion to sweep the entire continent and shocked the world.
However, with Electra's mysterious disappearance, the Demon Legion also disappeared, and the sky has never been seen again. Troll God's manufacturing method is also lost.
However, the magic and greatness of the alchemist can be seen from this.
Every time I think of these magical legends, Gong Hao's mood is quite agitated.
Although half of the reason he worked hard was to show himself desperately to avoid possible dangers, but as he deepened his understanding of alchemy, he found that he gradually fell in love with the discipline.
He had been experimenting before he was reborn, and he was naturally interested in this. Now when I come to this world, I can see all the strange creatures in his eyes. All the contacts are things he had never thought of. A large and complex systematic knowledge is opening the door to himself, so that he can crack the The mystery became even more yearning.
My father once said: The source of every scientist's success comes from the thirst for knowledge and science. People without this knowledge of hunger will never become top masters.
But now, standing in front of this vast school of knowledge, looking at the hardcover booklet in the library, imagined that it contained almost all the magic knowledge of the continent, he felt a kind of rising from the heart. Hunger.
Too much eagerness to learn and understand this knowledge.
"Hey, boy, what are you standing there for?" A young man in a gray apprentice robe called to Gong Hao.
This call awakened Gong Hao from his brain full of reveries, and he quickly stepped forward: "Is it Lord Neil? I am here to take over the clerk's work on the instruction of Lord Andrew."
Neil glanced at this "humble servant" with a contemptuous look, and then said coldly: "Don't call me Lord. Here, except Master Heins, only three people are qualified to be called adults. You call me Master Neil will do. "
"Yes, Master Neal."
Gong Hao was smiling as an apprentice, but he had to call himself a mage. One thought flashed through my mind: can three people be called adults?
Apart from Andrew and Pier, which other big names are there?
Forcibly suppressing the doubts in his heart, Gong Hao respectfully said: "So Lord, how can I start working?"
"It's very simple. When you come here to work for two minutes every day at noon, someone will tell you the results of the experiment that day, and you will be responsible for recording, classifying and archiving. If you have a set of proven production methods, Organize it separately into a book, put it on the cover, and write down the name. Everything else is fine. "
"Yes, Master Neal, I see."
"Remember, you must be as familiar with the information as possible. After all, no one can memorize all the experimental results and data. Many times adults will need to come in and check the information. By then, you must put all the information in the first place. Records are given to adults, not here and there. "
Gong Hao's eyes lightened: "That is to say, I must go through all the books here before I can find the information that adults need for them as quickly as possible."
The apprentice named Neil hesitated a bit: "It is logically impossible for you to access the advanced alchemy here ... but it doesn't matter anyway, you ..."
Neil didn't go on, but Gong Hao's heart tightened slightly.
Neal continued: "In that case, I think you can flip through the books here at will. Well, I can finally get rid of this paperwork, and I never want to come to this ghost place again. I hate being a clerk! "
Neal laughed and left, leaving Gong Hao alone in the empty library.
