54 Episode 53 Progress (2/2)
It is now right in front of me.
”............
In front of that [soma], I can't say a word.
What is in front of me is a tree.
A big tree.
Somehow, because of the magic I cast on it, the small plant turned into a tree so big that I could look up at it.
It started growing right after I cast the spell, and over the past few months, it's been gradually getting bigger and bigger until now.
Seeing how fast it grew, I had the image of dangerous genetic improvement or the use of dangerous drugs in my mind.
I tap the trunk lightly with my fist.
Thick and hard.
A perfect big tree.
This is going to make a nice log,” was Noah's sarcastic comment upon seeing it.
”...... Hey, Arx.
”What is it, Uncle?
It's okay to use magic in the garden. It's okay to use magic in your garden, but it's not okay to plant crazy plants in people's gardens.
But you never know what your father or mother might do to you if you plant them in the main Raytheft estate.
Then you'll have to go somewhere else. I mean, how did you get such a magnificent tree in just a few months?
Well, I didn't expect this either.
How do you say that? How do you say that?
”It hurts, it hurts, don't gouge me.
My uncle Crabbe, who was standing next to me, lightly rubbed my head with his fist.
I really don't want him to do that because it makes me shrink.
Anyway, I attached a faucet to the trunk of the tree in the manner of a sugar maple collecting maple water, and sap came out.
I put my finger on it and licked it.
Oh, it's sweet.
The sap had a faint sweetness to it.
The sweetness was not overpowering, but refreshing.
It may be due to its thinness.
Clive scooped it up with his finger and licked it as well.
”So, Arx, what the hell is this for?
”This? Well, it's ............ still a secret!
Well... Well, I'll look forward to seeing it in action.
Crabbe said, and went back to the house.
I'm afraid to tell you what I'm making here.
It's not that I'm ...... afraid people will get mad if they know I'm making alcohol.
I don't know, ...... something.
I couldn't say anything about it, because I felt that it would cause some disturbance.
Of course I would have to tell Crabbe if I could.
I'd have to tell Crabbe if I could, but I feel like I've shelved it.
”Now we need to put the sap in a barrel with yeast. ......
As for the yeast, I've got some that Noah got for me.
I won't know which yeast will work best until I try it, but I'm really hoping that some of them will work well together.
As for temperature control, the engraving should be sufficient.
The barrels are engraved with a preservation-related mark.
In the cellar, there are engravings all over to keep the temperature constant.
The mini-brewery took a year to renovate.
Thanks to Crave for providing the space.
And of course, thanks to the engraving.
In this way, I feel that I can do something close to, if not a complete reproduction of the appliances of the man's world.
An imprint that keeps you cool or warm.
Imprinting on refrigerators and freezers.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make your life a little more comfortable.
It's not as versatile as spells because, unlike magic, there is no chanting or infusion of magic power.
But it's worth a try.
