Dean Tungus quickly returned to his residence.
He looked at the three people and was very satisfied with their current learning progress. Patty Isa and Cord Newman were learning steadily, and the most gratifying thing was that Locke's learning speed was slightly beyond his expectations.
Originally, Tungus was worried that Locke would become lazy as before after he was no longer under financial pressure, and he would need to give him a little encouragement.
But after spending some time together, he has given up the idea.
Among his three apprentices, Locke is the most talented and also the most hardworking.
Therefore, Dean Tungus now looks at Locke with a smile, and is actually very satisfied with him.
After Dean Tungus finished instructing Patty Isa and Code Newman, he looked at Locke and said, "You want to buy magic vine seeds from me?"
"Too."
"You have indeed reached the stage of completing the spell model."
Dean Tungus said, "Completing the Hand of Vine requires specific magical plant seeds. This is because the Hand of Vine spell is a trick model disassembled from the complete first-ring spell [Magic Vine Curse]."
"So you have to use the matching magical vine seeds - the seeds of the Mandrake vine."
Dean Tungus took out a graphite box and opened it carefully. There were four seeds in it that looked very rough and were as big as thumb-sized potatoes.
Dean Tungus carefully removed one of the seeds with tweezers and placed it in a small pot filled with soil. "The seeds of the Mandrake vine are specially cultivated by the official wizards of our superior academy. They have gone through dozens of generations, so their characteristics are stable, very hardy, and difficult to die."
"You just throw it in the soil and it will gradually take root and sprout. But you need to water it once a week and expose it to sunlight every day, but avoid direct sunlight, just like taking care of ordinary plants."
"Although Mandrakes won't die easily, if the quality of Mandrakes is particularly poor, it will affect your spells and even prevent you from becoming a third-class wizard apprentice."
"You should have learned about Mandrake from books."
Locke nodded.
In addition, you must use your mental power to water this seed every day.
This is a very difficult thing in the early stages.
Because he is essentially just an ordinary person who understands some basic knowledge of mysticism. It is basically impossible for him to mobilize his mental power and transform the seeds.
This can be done because the seeds of Mandrake are specially designed by formal wizards using plant magic, but despite this, it still takes a long time for one to learn to use one's mental power to irrigate the seed.
Dean Tungus said, "The first Mandrake seed will be sold to you for 5 Magic Stones. The second seed will no longer receive the price support, so the price for the second seed is 15 Magic Stones."
Locke raised his eyebrows. "Teacher Tunguska, are these seeds so expensive?"
Tungus said: "Of course."
"But this kind of magic seed is generally difficult to kill."
Dean Tunguska closed the graphite box and then covered it with two layers of silk. "Besides, Corfu's magical resources are very precious. I only have four mandrake seeds. After giving them to you, there will only be three left."
"If a fourth wizard appears in my remaining life and chooses the Hand of Vine spell model, I will provide him with seeds without magic vines for him to learn."
Dean Tungus said, "The only time to replenish the magic resources of Aurelian College is when the dean is replaced."
Locke nodded, and his heart gave up the idea of asking Dean Tunguska for two more mandrake seeds.
If you have three Mandrake seeds, you can synthesize them into level 2 synthetic items to directly improve the quality of the seeds.
But now Locke has given up the idea.
There are two reasons.
First, the magical resources on Corfu Island are too scarce, and his ideas are unlikely to get the support of Dean Tunguska.
Otherwise, the wizard seedlings of Aurelian College in the next fifty years will not be able to choose the spell model of "Hand of Vines" to learn.
Dean Tungus must consider that in the future the academy may produce wizard apprentices who, like himself, have the highest compatibility with wood element particles.
The second reason is that synthesis will bring about unknown changes.
If I use it rashly, this synthesis of the most important thing for me at the moment may prevent me from completing the Hand of Vine spell.
That would be a waste of time.
"Once we leave Corfu and board a wizard ship, crossing the Endless Mysterious Sea and heading for the Southeastern Territory, it won't be too late for me to find a way to purchase Mandrake seeds myself and conduct synthesis experiments," Locke pondered. "My goal now is to use the Deep Blue Gem to quickly become a third-class wizard apprentice and learn my first spell."
Dean Tungus said to Locke, "By the way, Locke, your family members came to see you outside the academy recently."
"They were stopped by the guards outside Aurelian College before, and they seem to be in some trouble. But I will help you solve this problem and find them a house near the college."
"You can go visit your family members soon. Here are their addresses."
Locke was stunned for a moment. He had been concentrating on studying recently and had forgotten the Augustine family that the original owner came from.
Locke glanced at the address and thanked the dean, "Thank you, Mr. Tungus."
Locke stood up, put away his textbook, picked up the pot of mandrake seeds, nodded to Patty Issa and Cord Newman, turned and left the room.
In the past six months, even though I have been concentrating on studying and basically not caring about other people's affairs, I still heard about some things happening on the mainland of Corfu.
After occupying the Kingdom of Anjou, the Frankish Empire suddenly launched another attack on the Norman Kingdom and destroyed the Norman Kingdom again within four months.
As a result, one-sixth of the students in the college found themselves in the same awkward situation as the Angevins six months ago.
The Augustin family mentioned in a letter to themselves that after fleeing the Kingdom of Anjou, they took refuge with distant relatives in the Norman Kingdom.
It now seems that with the fall of the Norman Kingdom, the original owner's family members were once again desperate, so this time they took the risk, hid from their pursuers, and came to Aurelian College.
However, they are lucky. They are now in Aurelian College and have a special status. They are the wizard seedlings, which enables them to obtain the protection of Aurelian College.
In today's Corfu Island, the Frankish Empire has destroyed two major kingdoms, and the total area of the remaining four kingdoms on the mainland is not as large as the territory of the Frankish Empire. The Aurelian College may be the only place that can shelter them.
Locke walked along the elegant corridor of the academy and saw several students from the Norman Kingdom crying about the atrocities of the Franks, while students of Frankish descent were ridiculing them.
Locke thought to himself, "It seems that what the Frankish Empire really wants to do is unify Corfu. Corfu will become increasingly chaotic in the future. A world war will break out in Corfu, and everyone will be involved."
"The peace will be gone."
'But this doesn't really concern me.'
"Anyway, I'll be leaving here in a year and a half on a wizard ship. Thanks to my connections, the Augustine family should also be able to gain the protection of Dean Tunguska. As long as they stay near Aurelian College, they can at least live a stable life."
Locke saw from the corner of his eye that Mr. Olde, the history professor, appeared in the elegant corridor of the college garden. Professor Olde smiled and nodded at him, greeted him, and then walked briskly towards the students from the Norman Kingdom who were crying.
Obviously, he was going to take action against these poor students who had just lost their country.
