Chapter 42
"Speaking of which, how does a life like Cat Grass exist?"
Dake's eyes flickered, and then he pulled out "Pride I" from the card pack.
"Magic Summon!"
A dark golden ball of light flew out of "Pride I" and then sank into the top of Cat Grass's head.
But this magic card that can make people arrogant still did not produce any effect.
"Go to the library to check it out!"
Dake took a breath, put Cat Grass down, and then moved the Worm Tree into the room.
Every failure is a lesson.
Tomorrow I will go to Traveler Street to buy a fence to separate the Worm Tree, and by the way, I will make some fur balls to entertain Cat Grass.
Dake sat down and took notes, and found himself busy again.
"Should I go to the library first, or go to the professor first?"
"Professor!"
"It's not too late to go to the library in the evening."
...
Professor Kazel was not in the office.
Dake went to the laboratory.
As expected, he saw Professor Kazel making magic cards in the laboratory.
But today he was not making a "Jack Pumpkin", but a "Mummy" with bandages and mannequins.
Dark thought about how to bring up the topic and appear more natural, so he pulled out the flower card of the white mandala when he pushed the door open.
"Dimon? Do you want to borrow the lab? The key to the lab next door is in the second drawer of the office."
Professor Kazer looked very serious.
Dark put the thinking bottle on the lab table until he walked over and said, "Professor, I'm here to return something."
"Thinking bottle?" Professor Kazer looked back and smiled, "You can use it for a while longer."
Dark: "No, professor. I've already bought a worm tree."
He thought about talking about emotions and thoughts first, and then turning to the love fortune-telling card.
But when Professor Kazer saw the flower cards in his hand, he said without thinking: "Why, you are also interested in these flower cards?"
Dak frowned slightly, and said immediately: "Yes, professor. I have always wondered whether the so-called divination of these flower cards involves peeping at the level of thought?"
Professor Kazer was slightly stunned, and then laughed even more happily.
He put down the work in his hands, took off the experimental gloves, and smiled: "I didn't expect that your research at the level of thought has reached this point."
He turned back to the laboratory table and stretched out his hand.
Just when Dakla was on high alert, he pulled out a flower card from the card bag on the shelf, and the flower card was decorated with green roses.
The pure and simple green roses, with blessings for eternal youth, look forward to eternal love.
Professor Kazel's eyes flashed with tenderness: "Although this is just a trick, there is something in it that I can't see through. However, as long as the magic power is interrupted, it can be separated from it. It is not harmful."
...
When Dark walked out of the experiment, he had given up trying to test Professor Kazel.
Although he couldn't confirm it yet, he always felt that Professor Kazel couldn't be the one who really made the flower cards.
But Senior Leon didn't seem to be lying - in fact, he didn't have to.
"So, someone pretended to be the professor to gain people's trust?"
Dark thought of the costume card.
If the design inside the costume card is a leather suit that looks very similar to a person, can it pretend to be anyone?
This is both a hypothesis and an inference.
"Maybe we can study the costume card."
...
Senior Pandora was teasing her cat, Cat Grass, on the counter - it was a fat chinchilla.
It's a chinchilla, not a chinchilla!
She used a small area of silence cards around the cat grass to ensure that the cat grass's cry would not disturb the students in the library.
Dake always felt that her behavior was very abrupt, even though she had never brought cat grass to the library before.
"Is it a bait?"
When thinking this, Dak's fingers had already scratched the chinchilla's chin unconsciously.
There was a scale on the chinchilla's chin, which was soft and warm, and not at all painful.
"Did you buy cat grass?" Senior Pandora narrowed her eyes.
Dake: "I bought a short-haired cat."
...
Chapter 53 The Old God Raised Dust
Sacrificed a little color.
Dake learned the location of books related to cat grass from Senior Pandora, and soon found a book "Millions of Mimicry in the Plant World" in the library.
There were relatively few people in the library on Friday night.
Dake poured himself a cup of unscented black tea and read it carefully.
"Mimicry refers to an organism imitating another organism or non-organism in terms of morphology, behavior and other characteristics.
The ecological adaptation phenomenon that benefits one or both parties is a special behavior formed by organisms in the long-term evolution of nature."
"The biological phenomenon of cat grass originates from mimicry."
"A typical mimicry system consists of a mimic, a simulated object and a deceived person."
"Take cat grass as an example."
"The mimic is the cat grass itself."
"The simulated object is the cat."
"And the deceived person is a human being."
...
"The six major organs of a plant: roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds."
"Cut the cat grass according to the plant structure."
"The part buried in the soil is the root."
"The tail is the stem."
"And the hair around its body is...leaves?"
Dak was stunned when he saw this.
According to his initial imagination, he thought that the "cat" part of the cat grass should belong to the "fruit".
But now it seems that this is not the case.
The cat hair is leaves, and the body, limbs, and head are all fleshy stems like the main body of the cactus.
As for flowers and fruits...
Every spring and autumn, beautiful flowers will grow on the top of the cat grass.
When the petals wither, fruits will be produced.
As for seeds, they are naturally in the fruit.
...
Dak continued to read books and gradually gained a more detailed understanding of the ecology of cat grass.
When they are about to bloom, they will transport most of the nutrients in their bodies to the top of the head, which will then give birth to flower buds, develop into buds, and finally bloom flowers, pollinate, and produce fruits.
"This is a very important process."
Dak drew the whole process in a diagram on his notebook, and then drew a circle on the top of the cat grass, convinced that he had found the reason.
In order to prove his idea, he looked up a lot of information again. It was not until nine o'clock in the evening that he borrowed another book "Dress Up Master" and left the library.
Pandora is not always in the library. Ms. Bella is on duty most of the time.
After returning to the dormitory, Dak turned on the light, put the borrowed book on the table, and then walked into the balcony.
"Meow--"
The cat grass came over with its short legs. Dak squatted down and scratched its chin, and his other hand carefully groped the "arrogance" emblem on its head.
Then he found that there was a small flesh bud in the middle of the "arrogance" emblem!
Feeling the touch of the bulge against his fingertips, Dak suddenly got a little excited.
What kind of fruit can the cat grass that absorbs "arrogance" produce?
"Speaking of fruits, there are countless potions made from various fruits, and even some magic elf cards require special fruits as core materials.
Before it successfully bears fruit, I may be able to study the production of related potions or magic elves."
Because he had expectations for the cat grass, he felt the pleasure of petting cats again.
The "rage" accumulated in his heart was also eliminated a little.
After a while, he took the cat grass to the bathroom to rinse it, and then put it on the bedside table. He watched "Dress Up Master" for a while and fell asleep.
...
But Friday night is not over.
Diana and Rose are still making a fuss in the common room.
Emma was invited to the reading club of the Magic Academy after the tea party, and they will stay up all night tonight.
After Pandora relaxed, she was preparing for tomorrow's magic duel.
And Witt and Robert returned to the dormitory very late after playing crazy for half a night.
But not long after returning to the dormitory, Witt quietly opened the door, took a look at Robert's room, and slipped out of the tower of the Knights' Court.
Walking into the silent castle, Witt couldn't help but recall his experience in the afternoon.
Emma's last ripple was too touching.
This almost made him make the wrong decision.
Fortunately, Robert took the initiative to propose to go to the library to study, which gave him hope for change.
"Think about your deceased parents!"
Although Witt had never seen his parents, he grew up listening to the stories of heroes.
The hero has always been his object of admiration.
The day he learned from Principal Arte that he was the son of a hero, he was really happy!
And now looking back at what he had done in the past month.
He just wanted to find a hole in the ground to bury himself completely!
- When he first entered the library, he really thought so.
- He also set a small goal for himself to surpass Dark Dimon before the end of this semester!
But two hours later, the difficult arithmetic homework wiped out his will.
