Chapter 268 (1/2)

After nearly half a year's construction period, a prototype of the seaside castle has been built. Gray estimates that it should be completed in the last three or four months, no more than six months at most. He can stay in the New Castle this year.

If we continue to increase manpower, this time will continue to shorten, but if we continue to increase, the cost is not proportional to the income, so it is unnecessary.

Before planning the location of the castle garden, gray dug a pit with little Molly and Merida, and then threw five black seeds into it.

”Will apple trees like Fairies in the lake grow and bear apples that can keep their youth forever?” Merida asked, staring at the soil motionless, as if she could see the seeds below through the soil.

”It shouldn't be. Maybe there will be some magical effects, but it shouldn't be as magical as the apple tree of the fairy in the lake. Maybe you will get a weakened version.” Gray thought for a moment and replied.

If this magical fruit tree could be planted in such a simple way, Nania would have been full of apple trees.

So he thought that even if it was planted, the effect would be greatly attenuated, and it was not impossible to become an ordinary apple. What's more, it might not grow an apple tree at all.

”I planted many fruit seeds when I was a child, but none of them grew saplings. Can this grow?” Merida thought for a moment and continued.

Gray didn't expect that she thought of this. She didn't even think about the survival rate. She touched her chin and thought for a while, reached out to dig open the soil, and then picked out the five seeds one by one.

He decided to be ready to plant the seeds and increase their survival rate as much as possible. Even if it is unlikely to get an apple tree like Aslan in the end, it is enough as long as there are some magical effects.

Even if it doesn't work, it's fun to plant trees with friends.

Merida looked at his movements and wondered, ”why don't you plant it?”

You may not get an apple tree if you plant it, but you can't get it if you don't plant it.

”We need to prepare something to improve the germination rate of seeds and ensure that seedlings can thrive after germination.” Gray said, ”let's go hunting in the forest first, and then go back to study how to improve the germination rate, make the seeds germinate, and make some fertilizer. Maybe it can make the apples of the apple tree more magical.”

”Hunting, I like hunting!” The ELF's eyes lit up and raised his little hand.

Of course, she doesn't like hunting, but the process of enjoying food after hunting.

”My archery has been improved a lot. I can shoot prey from a hundred meters away.” Merida chased and said that riding and archery were her favorite. Even if she didn't hunt, she wouldn't feel bored if she rode around like this.

”Why, do you want to play?” Gray smiled and took out a long bow. ”It depends on who hunts more prey.”

”Good!” Merida agreed, blinking her big shining eyes, ”so what's the bet?”

Naturally, there must be bets in the game. Although Gray was just going to play and didn't want to bet anything, there's nothing wrong if Merida wanted to bet.

”What bet do you want?” Gray asked with a smile. Since Merida dared to put forward it, she naturally asked for something, otherwise she wouldn't have to ask for a bet in a casual competition like playing.

Merida pretended to think for a while to prove that she was not premeditated for a long time, but on a whim. ”Then the winner asked the loser three questions. The loser must answer. Don't escape. How about it?”

Gray stared into her eyes and thought that the three questions were not monsters, so he agreed. Moreover, can Merida win him?
