Lord: Married To A Countess At The Beginning

The female magician replied in a low voice: "My name is Laura, and I am here looking for the Tree of Life.

Gray was a little surprised: "Tree of Life? This name sounds related to elves."

Laura rolled her eyes: "Who in the entire continent doesn't know that the elves were born from the roots of the giant tree of life. The tree of life is a treasure that the elves regrown by watering the spring of life with the roots of the giant tree of life."

Gray was silent for a moment, forgiving that he really hadn't heard of it.

But he soon said: "You mean, elves once lived here?"

Laura nodded: "According to the records of some magicians, there was indeed a tribe of elves living here once, and the deep pit over there was where the Tree of Life took root.

Gray raised his eyebrows: "Isn't there a volcano down there?"

Laura glanced at Gray with some surprise: "Yes, the Tree of Life likes to absorb energy in the magma and then feed it back to the ground. It is said that the Doomsday Volcano in the far west of the continent was once the place where the Giant Tree of Life took root."

After hearing this, Gray's heart moved: "Then have you found it?~"

Laura shook her head and nodded.

Gray frowned when he saw it: "Have you found it? You don't have a mouth to speak!"

When Laura was scolded by Gray, she immediately shrank her neck: "I didn't find any branches or roots, but I thought of a green leaf deep down, which looks like it should be a leaf from the Tree of Life."

Gray:???

"You said you found leaves under the ground? No roots?"

Gray felt something was wrong. There were no roots deep underground, but leaves...

But Laura will not favor him because of the mark of slavery.

"Where are the leaves? Take them out and let me have a look. I'll help you identify them."

Gray shamelessly stretched out his hand and prepared to rob his men.

Laura twitched the corner of her mouth, took a deep breath, calmed down her heart, and then said expressionlessly: "It's in the magma. It hasn't been taken out yet. There is something wrong with the magma here. It has no energy, but it can burn through me very quickly. Magical shield."

"I couldn't cool down the magma even with magic. I tried many methods but couldn't get past it. I had to come up and prepare again."

Having said this, Laura looked at Gray with resentful eyes.

"Then I met you growing snake heart fruits...

Only then did Gray remember the snake heart fruit.

The hit was too sudden, so he put the seeds into his storage ring.

Now that I think about it, I naturally want to take it out and take a look.

"Did you just say that the snake heart fruit must be grown by the snake people?"

Gray put everything else aside for now. The snake heart fruit issue is what he wants to solve the most right now.

Laura: "Of course, Master, the snake heart fruit is originally a top resource cultivated by the orc kingdom after consuming a lot of resources. It has a huge improvement effect on the snake people.

As for other creatures, the effect is much worse. "

"Of course, the most important thing is that the senior leaders of the Snake People in the Orc Kingdom at that time used the technology at that time to bind the Snake people and the Snake Heart Fruit together. No one except the Snake People could grow the Snake Heart Fruit. , neither can their other races of orcs.”

"This is to prevent the decline of the kingdom and prevent the snake heart fruits from being snatched away by other races after the decline of the snake people."

“It seems that what they did is correct. Anyway, many people know about the existence of snake heart fruit, but no one is interested in it because they know that they can’t grow it.

Gray's heart sank when he heard this. He was still thinking about planting snake nuts to strengthen his soldiers.

Now hearing Laura say this, he suddenly became unhappy.

"Is there no way to solve this problem? Besides, since the snake heart fruit is bound to the snake people, why did I hear the elders of the snake people say that it is difficult for them to cultivate the snake heart fruit themselves? Is it possible that she is lying to me?"

Gray squinted his eyes, a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Laura shook her head: "That's not true. This is a general characteristic of top-level magic potions. However, top-level magic materials must be scarce in quantity. This involves the magic network theory. There is only so much energy in the world, and each top-level magic potion must be scarce. Plants consume huge amounts of energy.

"When the energy is constant, if one of the top plants grows, other magic plants will be affected."

"The Snake Tribe grows snake fruits at a high density. When many snake fruits reach half of their growth, they will choose to turn them into fertilizers to provide nutrients for the remaining fruits due to insufficient energy supply.

When Laura mentioned professional knowledge, she immediately lost the timid look she had just shown. Seeing her talk, eloquent, and knowledgeable, Gray knew that this fight was not in vain.

In addition, I have to say that the tower magicians are really strong.

That is to say, Gray is a freak, and everyone else, not to mention a high-level warrior, even a few more will die.

Looking at Laura's appearance, as long as you ignore her swollen appearance like a pig's head, bruised nose and face, messy hair, tattered clothes, and skin that has turned black from not taking a shower for who knows how long, She still has the temperament of a magic master.

After hearing what she said, Gray immediately sighed: "In other words, the snake heart fruit can only be cultivated in a small batch at a time? Is there no way to achieve large-scale mass production?"

Laura nodded in affirmation.

But soon she hesitated and said: "It's not that there is no way at all. There is still a leaf from the Tree of Life under our feet that can be used. Although it is just a leaf, it is part of the Tree of Life after all, and the life energy contained in it should be Enough to support a batch of seeds to blossom and bear fruit.”

"This only solves a batch. This is a one-time event and cannot be sustained for a long time."

Gray glanced at her: "Are you willing to give me the leaves of the Tree of Life that you worked so hard to find?"

Laura shrugged helplessly: "Who makes you my master? As long as you need it, I can give you anything, including myself."

Gray looked at her bruised face and looked away silently. In order not to attack this new subordinate, Gray planned to continue studying the snake nut.

0………………Please give me flowers…………

Seeing Gray still staring at the snake nut seeds, Laura suddenly said: "Master, do you want to try the power in your body?"

Gray was stunned when he heard this.

He spoke with some uncertainty: "Will it be useful?"

His kind of power has only been used on animals, orcs, and humans.

He was sure that his power could work on animals, but he never thought about it working on plants.

Laura's eyes suddenly shone: "Master, just try it once, just in case you succeed!"

Laura rubbed her hands excitedly. She had taken out all kinds of strange things from her storage ring, including crystal balls, notebooks, photo crystals, some slates, and metal rulers.

She even pulled out a pair of thin, clean leather gloves.

If she hadn't held the scalpel, the way she looked at Gray would have made him feel like he was about to be pushed into the dissecting room.

This is not about studying the snake heart fruit, the crazy lady wants to study him!

Gray clenched his fists, and he hooked his fingers at Laura: "Laura, come here."

Laura walked forward with a smile.

"boom!"

"Ouch!"

Laura was soon lying on the ground.

When she woke up again, she was much more restrained.

But although she didn't continue to look at Gray blatantly, she still couldn't help but look secretly.

That look made her want to drag Gray into her tower right away and lock her up to study every day.

Gray didn't pay much attention to Laura's gaze. He did have some secrets in his body. He was very curious about them, not to mention Laura, a tower magician who was born as a cat and was extremely curious.

If she didn't have such a strong curiosity, she wouldn't be able to become a magician of the Tower Sect.

When Laura was ready, Gray began to use the power in his body to affect the seeds in his hands.

Although he doesn't like to be studied, it is undeniable that the magicians of the Tower Sect are really the best scientific researchers in the world.

There is a magician from the high tower sect assisting him, which is of great help to him in observing and cultivating snake heart fruits.

Soon, Gray's spiritual power entered the seeds with a hint of mysterious power.

The next moment, golden light began to spread from the inside out in the snake heart fruit seeds.

The golden light shuttled inside the seed, and when it reached the surface of the seed, it left golden lines on the seed.

Laura stared with wide eyes, the photo crystal on one side was recording images, and she also quickly looked at various numbers on the stone slabs and metal bars next to them, and then recorded them.

Then she used her mental power to sense the condition of the seeds and record them.

Finally, when the seeds stopped changing, she immediately touched them with a small metal bar.

The next moment, she said in surprise: "Master, the life of the seeds has been greatly enhanced. Your power has worked. How about we plant it and try it?"
