One month later, the three Golden Apple Trees, three Blue Ginkgo Trees, and six Winter Sumr Giant Woods that Locke had purchased from the Crown Court branch in Cloud Marsh Wetland had already been transported to him.
In addition to these twelve First Circle magical plants prepared for inscribing the external runes of the permanent defensive force field, Locke also purchased so magical plants to provide for the forest's growth.
Specifically, there were fifty ordinary functional First Circle magical plants called Water Green Beech trees ant to increase overall biomass, as well as nurous herbaceous and shrub magical plants.
These herbaceous and shrub magical plants didn't really matter much, and there was no need to use First Circle magical plants for them.
Forests themselves were primarily dominated by trees. If too many powerful magical plants that overshadowed the main elents were used, it would actually hinder the forest's developnt.
So he purchased a large batch of apprentice-level shrubs, such as Walnut Branches and Desert Sea Buckthorn, as well as apprentice-level vine and herbaceous magical plants.
A First Circle wizard from Crown Court ca aboard a floating vessel, as this was a rather large business transaction.
Locke directly spent 860,000 magic stones to purchase a batch of magical plants from Crown Court. After all, Crown Court was professionally specialized in selling breeding equipnt and magical plants, so purchasing from them guaranteed quality.
If he were to purchase from independent sellers instead, and bought magical plants on a large scale, if so kind of magical fungal disease or magical insect plague happened to be hidden among them, that would be troubleso.
It wasn't unheard of for breeders to introduce a completely new external magical plant into their own plantation, only to have magical insect eggs hidden in that plant's roots hatch and devour the entire plantation.
What if, at that ti, you needed to seclude yourself for an experint, and the apprentices in your plantation couldn't understand what was happening, and out of fear of scolding and punishnt chose to handle it independently first, the situation would beco even worse.
Since Forest Sanctuary involved his permanent defensive force field and was his most important asset, he couldn't even invite apprentices into his Druid's Ring. Therefore, he needed to be even more cautious when selecting the quality of magical plants.
The wizard from Crown Court nodded at Locke and said, "Breeder Augustine, congratulations on winning the Cloud Marsh Cup championship. I also watched your match, and you perford exceptionally well."
"It's hard to believe this would be the performance of a wizard from outside Cloud Marsh Wetland."
He opened his astral ring and took out those tree species that had been specially treated for transplanting by breeders, providing them to the wizard apprentices from the Plutarch family that Locke had brought along, having them transplant these trees into the premium laboratory.
This wizard from Crown Court seed to have particular goodwill toward Locke and spoke quite a bit with him before turning to leave.
The nurous apprentices currently transporting magical plants for Locke sensed the powerful magical pressure emanating from each of the twenty-ter-tall magical plant trees on the carts they were pushing. The bark surface of these magical plant trees seed to contain so kind of profound patterns, and just standing nearby subjected them to enormous pressure.
And there were actually sixty-two such magical plants in total, plus large quantities of apprentice-level vine and herbaceous magical plants, as well as shrub magical plants.
To Locke, these magical plants were rely functional and didn't have much combat ability, but to these apprentices, any random one of these magical plants, if given to them, could greatly enhance their combat power and make their mouths water.
One could only say the gap between First Circle wizards and apprentices was simply too large. Magical plants that could only serve as grass in Locke's forest could beco trump cards and hidden aces for these apprentices if given to them.
These apprentices responsible for transporting magical plants for Locke discussed in low voices, "What is Lord Wizard Augustine planning to do, purchasing so many powerful magical plants at once? My god, even just one blade of grass among them, if given to , could double my combat power."
Another first-class wizard apprentice responsible for pushing the cart with him said in a low voice, "Keep it down... He's a powerful First Circle wizard. We can't understand the experints he conducts."
"Let's just deliver these magical plants first." This first-class wizard apprentice kept wiping the sweat from his forehead. "My ntor said that Lord Wizard Augustine's status in White Dragon Magical Gem University is already extrely high. Even my ntor has to lend to him for free for a week to transport goods."
"My ntor is so stingy. I've rarely seen him so eager to send students to work for other official wizards."
Other first-class wizard apprentices were also constantly wiping sweat. The magical pressure from so many First Circle magical plants gathered together was like a massive gravitational center, subjecting these apprentices to constant enormous pressure.
Transporting magical plants, on the surface, seed like work anyone could do, but actually that wasn't the case. Just the magical pressure from so many powerful magical plants gathered together eliminated the possibility of hiring ordinary people for the job, not to ntion that the process of transporting magical plants required mastering certain techniques and understanding of botany.
At this mont, these first-class wizard apprentices were all very carefully handling these powerful First Circle magical plants, afraid of angering these First Circle magical plants or violating so taboo that would trigger their automatic defense. Once a First Circle magical plant automatically attacked them, they could easily be seriously injured or even die.
After all, these were First Circle magical plants.
Just moving their roots slightly was enough to fling a common first-class wizard apprentice with 200 mana flying.
These weren't ordinary plants, but terrifying plant kings. At any mont, they could unleash powerful might and transform into fearso weapons.
A first-class wizard apprentice responsible for transporting Winter Sumr Giant Woods had sweat flowing down his forehead. Among all the magical plants, only the Winter Sumr Giant Woods were the most dangerous. The other magical plants basically weren't combat magical plants, but Winter Sumr Giant Woods were.
Their wood bodies were incredibly heavy and incredibly hard, and the branches of Winter Sumr Giant Woods would sway slightly with the wind and were extrely sensitive. If judged to have the possibility of attacking them, they would instantly strike enemies with their branches, and those giant tree branches could directly smash people into at paste.
This first-class wizard apprentice had fine beads of sweat all over his forehead, afraid the Winter Sumr Giant Wood would suddenly attack him.
Things that were safe and harmless to First Circle wizards weren't necessarily so for these first-class wizard apprentices.
An hour later, they transported the carts through the central passage's floating ladder and delivered them into Locke's premium laboratory, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then they returned to the previous location to transport the next batch of magical plants into this premium laboratory.
At this ti, Locke was inside his Druid's Ring, tilling the soil, applying fertilizer, and transforming the earth, preparing for transplanting those magical plants.
A week later, Locke had transplanted the sixty-two magical plants into the forest, and also transplanted a large batch of shrubs, herbaceous plants, and vines into the forest.
At this mont, inside the Druid's Ring, the forest was lush and green with quite a variety of species. It had already taken considerable shape, with Golden Apple Trees, Cloud Sea Fog Pines, Blue Ginkgo Trees, Winter Sumr Giant Woods, Scorched Earth Holly, Water Green Beech trees, and dozens of types of vine, shrub, and herbaceous magical plants in various quantities.
As well as the apprentice-level trees, Two-Ball Plane Trees, which Locke had expanded to six hundred specins.
Currently, there were a total of 671 trees, countless other magical plants, and a total of 71 First Circle magical plant trees.
Among them, Locke had also introduced large quantities of fungal and mycological magical plants, perfecting the humus portion of the forest and strengthening the forest cycle.
The entire forest had completed maturity in the plant portion, becoming a massive and mature forest. Except for lacking animals, everything else was already perfect.
This had already beco a one-hundred-acre natural woodland.
Locke felt that his forest was unprecedentedly powerful. He stood at the forest's center, feeling this forest ecosystem with himself as its core, "Worthy of being the massive forest I've invested a million magic stones into, both before and after."
"Every single tree is money."
Locke held the golden grafting knife, "In this past month or so, I've also quickly learned so botanical defensive magic. I can first inscribe these botanical magics, perfecting my Forest Sanctuary spell."
"First are the Harvest Force Field and Withering Force Field that Teacher specifically emphasized. I've temporarily only learned these two spells and completed their spell model fine-tuning."
Learning existing First Circle magic wasn't difficult for First Circle wizards, especially First Circle wizards in the liquefaction stage.
Locke said, "Let first try whether I can use triple force fields to complete Myst's Power."
