Locke exchanged a few words with Lewis, and following the coordinates Lewis provided, he arrived at a certain location in the laboratory.
With a wave of his hand, all those half-decayed experintal devices were imdiately dismantled by Locke's materialized magical power, automatically disassembling to reveal the tree-type magical plants that were still being maintained inside.
All First Circle wizards possessed the ans of telekinesis. Due to the materialization of ntal power, even pure ntal power possessed powerful impact force. Without needing spell models to convert into specific magic, it could have the ability to harm others and interfere with physical laws.
However, to strengthen telekinesis to the degree where it could be used in battle required learning ntal school spells.
Locke glanced at the phantom of Wizard Lewis, who had been following by his side, guiding him.
The phantom of Wizard Lewis saw the magical plants in the constant temperature room and laughed heartily, "Excellent, these several Scorched Earth Hollies are still here."
"Scorched Earth Holly is a First Circle magical plant that never grows alone. It has extrely strong vitality. Its roots can transform the environnt, and its trunk naturally carries a life field. It's the original source of life field magic."
"Using Scorched Earth Holly to create the Forest Sanctuary couldn't be better."
"Colleague Locke, as you know, our plant studies magic is developed by exploiting the self-defense capabilities of magical plants to form a type of magic."
"And Scorched Earth Holly is an artificial First Circle magical plant created by breeders combining Scorched Earth Poplar with Ancient Holly Tree."
"Scorched Earth Holly is the best for making Forest Sanctuary." Wizard Lewis's eyes emitted extrely fervent light. For him, completing the Forest Sanctuary magic was the most urgent matter.
Locke frowned, "Scorched Earth Holly is indeed very good, but there are also so other First Circle magical plants in the research institute. If I rescue them, they should also be usable for making Forest Sanctuary."
Wizard Lewis denied this, "No, most of the First Circle magical plants in the research institute are actually unusable after so many years of neglect. But Scorched Earth Holly is different. Scorched Earth Holly possesses powerful vitality and a long lifespan."
"Its requirents for growing conditions are very low."
"Secondly, you're not a senior breeder, so it's normal that you don't understand this knowledge. In fact, even forests have lifespans, usually divided into three stages. The first stage is the first twenty years, when fast-growing trees, ferns, and grass-type magical plants dominate."
"The second stage is when light-loving trees and shade-loving trees appear simultaneously."
"Only after a hundred years does a forest grow from its juvenile period to its mature period, when so extrely tall canopy trees can appear."
"This is the third stage."
Wizard Lewis said, "Of course, even a three-period forest isn't the peak of a forest, it can only be considered adult. For example, the Forbidden Forest belongs to an extrely ancient forest that has lived from ancient tis until now."
Wizard Lewis muttered, "They only divided forests into three periods, but if you ask , forests can continue to be subdivided. They can be completely divided according to dragon age classification, since both are about equally ancient."
"In any case, Colleague Locke, forests have periods. At different stages, you must plant different stage forest species. Only this way can you maximally simulate the formation of a natural forest and grant my Forest Sanctuary the most powerful force!"
Locke nodded slightly, "Then I'll listen to you."
"You're the expert in this area."
Locke looked at Wizard Lewis, who was imrsed in excitent. From the fact that he compared forests to dragons, one could see how deeply Wizard Lewis had researched in the field of forests.
Then he should reference his opinion.
Following Wizard Lewis's suggestion, Locke dug up six Scorched Earth Hollies with roots and soil intact, then placed them into his astral ring before bringing them to a constant temperature cultivation room in the research institute.
In the constant temperature cultivation room, Locke opened the weather control machine of the cultivation room according to Wizard Lewis's instructions.
"Ten weather control machines, currently only one can be used. But this weather control machine is still connected to Lilith's Cottage's [Garden] system and can obtain energy from there at any ti." Wizard Lewis said excitedly, "No one understands this research institute better than I do."
"For over five hundred years, I've been wandering here, just wandering."
He looked at Locke with eyes as if looking at his own masterpiece, "Colleague Locke, I will help you with all my strength."
"First is adjusting the weather control machine's paraters, controlling humidity and temperature to a reasonable range. If planting other magical plants, you'd also need to change the soil, add various reagents, establish bacterial colonies in the soil, but Scorched Earth Holly needs none of this."
"It's inherently one of the best First Circle magical plants for opening up forests."
"The soil in regions where Scorched Earth Holly is planted will naturally be changed by the roots of Scorched Earth Holly. The bacterial colonies and properties inside the soil will be improved, thus becoming soil even superior to the advanced nutrient soil made by potion masters."
Wizard Lewis said, "Senior breeders are no longer limited to artificial ans to cultivate their magical plants. We can utilize the existing forces of natural ecology to obtain cultivation materials." Locke nodded slightly.
Wizard Lewis undoubtedly had far more experience than himself, and for special reasons, he would help him with all his strength.
Locke planted the six 30-ter tall Scorched Earth Hollies. Locke suspected that purchasing six Scorched Earth Hollies of this height on the market would definitely be extrely expensive.
The price of this First Circle magical plant wasn't fixed, because Scorched Earth Holly had unlimited height and could increase in height every year, just growing slower the taller it got.
Therefore, the taller the Scorched Earth Holly, the more expensive the price.
Scorched Earth Hollies circulating on the market were generally around 15 ters in height.
Half a day later, Locke completed the planting and perford the first watering. He opened the sluice gate, releasing water purified from the swamp here, thoroughly watering the magical plants to help the six Scorched Earth Hollies take root.
At the sa ti, Locke used the Large Green Owl Banana to fly into mid-air, using the Golden Grafting Knife as an inscription knife to carve runes on the trunks of these trees.
"According to the Forest Sanctuary concept, I'm borrowing the power of every single tree in the forest. Every single tree in the forest becos my guardian tree, lending their power."
"I alone am a forest. This is the most formidable aspect of this magic. Of course, before this, I need to cultivate a forest of my own, which is why I need the Druid's Ring. Without the Druid's Ring, all this is just small-scale."
The magical power on Locke's body gradually rged with these six Scorched Earth Hollies.
The first reaction of these six Scorched Earth Hollies was resistance. The violent magical power fluctuation caused Locke to retreat half a step in mid-air but he forcibly suppressed the resistance of the six Scorched Earth Hollies with his magical pressure of 3,500, completing the magical power grafting with them.
At the sa ti, the distributed psionic virtual nerves behind his head appeared, like dreadlocks extending toward these six Scorched Earth Hollies.
Wizard Lewis narrowed his eyes, "Is this what allowed him to complete Forest Sanctuary?"
"Psionic energy? That's the domain of the ntal school. Damn it, such a simple answer, how did I not think of it before? The southeastern quadrant doesn't have powerful ntal school wizard organizations. Lilith's Cottage doesn't even teach this magic category."
"If not for that, how could I possibly have spent decades of ti without researching this project?"
Lewis couldn't help feeling sowhat rueful. For him, he hadn't expected the answer to actually be this simple.
'Back then, I had a student who wanted to pursue the psionic direction, but I severely reprimanded him, so he changed his research direction.'
'Sigh, I was truly foolish and arrogant.' Lewis felt infinite regret in his heart. 'Back then, I believed human wizards couldn't possibly achieve ntal communication with trees. This direction was a dead end. Trees don't even have self-awareness, how could there be ntal communication?'
Lewis observed the way Locke connected with these trees and suddenly understood, "He's actually borrowing the distributed intelligence network of forest trees to achieve distributed psionic energy."
"How did I not think of this move before?"
