Chapter 36 Demonized Plants
After a hearty battle, Richard continued to work. Although he could not increase the area of ​​the botanical garden for the time being, Richard planned to plant magic plants on the land outside the Mage Tower.

After the expansion, the range of the earth vein array has expanded several times, and the range of the elemental land has also expanded to the point where it covers the entire area around the wizard tower.

Thanks to the genetic talent in Richard's blood, he didn't like to grow grass, but preferred to grow magic plants. At the same time, in order to strengthen the outer defense of the magic tower, he planned to plant some magic plants on the edge of the magic circle.

Richard's current magical plants are basically those he obtained after dozens of generations of induction in the laboratory. All of them are used to treat injuries and make money. There is not a single magical plant that can be used for defense, so it is necessary to induce mutation from seeds again.

There are many types of demonic plants suitable for defense, among which bloody thorns and piranha plants are the most common. Bloody thorns can grow into thorn bushes similar to walls, and all people or animals who want to pass through the thorns will be attacked.

The bloody thorns will wrap around it and quickly absorb blood. It can suck the blood of an adult in one minute, and the corpse will be buried in the soil at the root as nutrients. The carnivorous plant will swallow people or animals in one gulp, and the powerful digestive fluid inside it can even corrode steel.

Of course, these magical plants have more than just these functions. After devouring enough prey, they will produce fruits, such as blood thorns and man-eating plants. These two kinds of fruits contain strong vitality and can be used to make recovery potions or extend the lifespan of mortals by about five years (only once).

Richard did not intend to place these dangerous demonized plants on the outermost periphery. He planned to place demonized mandrakes and pea shooters.

The magic mandrake emits a fragrance that can make people or animals hallucinate or faint. The pea shooter is a magic plant that he cultivated by combining several plants. It can spray projectiles with a power about half that of a pistol, and these two plants are easy to grow.

Of course, he will also plant bloody thorns and carnivorous plants. At the same time, Richard also plans to cultivate bomb trees. This bomb tree is a kind of plant in the tropical rainforest. Because its fruit can explode, after cultivation, these bomb trees can throw fruit bombs, and after the fruit explodes, there is also poisonous gas.

Bloody thorns and Piranhas will be planted in the second layer of defense circle, and the outermost defense circle will be planted with enchanted mandrakes and enchanted vines. Bomb trees and pea shooters will be planted behind the bloody thorns and Piranhas.

In addition to these magical plants used for defense, Richard planted a large number of magical plants in the remaining areas. These magical plants are the raw materials for making Elf Tears skin care products.

That's right, the great archmage, the master of the light of wisdom, the astral wanderer, Richard, finally succumbed to money and planted all the transformed elemental active places with those raw material magic plants.

After Richard purchased the land again, the area of ​​his manor villa has reached five acres. Except for the wizard tower and some defensive magic plants, the rest are all used to grow the raw materials of "Elf Tears".

The production of Elf's Tears can be said to have increased by one-sixth at once. Even with an increase of one-sixth, the 'Elf's Tears' skin care products are still in short supply.

After spending a few days to complete the layout around the Mage Tower, Richard scanned it again with the system. As expected, the challenge level of the Mage Tower was raised to level 10. If you want to continue to raise the challenge level, you need to create a tower spirit and an iron golem.

However, whether it is to make a tower spirit or an iron golem, soul crystals are needed. The tower spirit is a high-level soul construct, which requires at least legendary soul crystals, while the iron golem requires intermediate soul crystals.

Ordinary people can only leave behind a small piece of soul crystal after death. Only those who are powerful or have a strong power of faith can obtain high-level soul crystals. In the world of Motera, arcanists who want to obtain high-level soul crystals mostly go to the lower planes or the undead plane. Only believers of the gods in the main material plane can produce some high-level soul crystals.

However, according to the covenant signed between the Supreme Arcane Council Alliance and the gods of faith, no arcane magician can rob the souls of the gods' believers.

Richard was very envious of these high-level soul crystals back then, but the gods were very strict in this regard. For example, as long as those believers who were devout enough died, messengers from other worlds would come to take them away, and no one else would be given a chance.

The petitioner is related to the foundation of the gods. Even if the arcanists are greedy, they can only go to the lower planes to find soul crystals. If you are confident enough, you can also kill the lich directly. Any lich will produce at least one legendary soul crystal.

But Richard is now in Blue Star, where there is no belief in gods, and even the God in heaven has not appeared for hundreds of years. Even angels rarely appear.

During this period of time, he has collected a lot of information about demon hunters. If the gates of heaven had not been closed, the church would not have shrunk its strength. You must know that the church in the Middle Ages was not only strong because it suppressed werewolves, vampires, demons, and devils, but also witches, wizards, druids and other pagans.

Later, when the power of the Church weakened, it stopped targeting witches, wizards, and druids and began to support demon hunters everywhere.

Without the Church and the harvest of heaven, all the high-level soul crystals in this world belong to him. Although there has been a technological explosion in the past two hundred years, and the number of people with devout faith is much less than in the Middle Ages, the population base of this era is large.

With a population base of over six billion, no matter how low the proportion of devout believers is, multiplied by six billion it would still be an extremely exaggerated number.

Richard also got some information from the witch that there is a powerful creature called Ghost Rider in this world, a skeleton knight with flames burning all over his body.

After learning this news, Richard knew that the souls of these Ghost Riders were at least at the high-level soul crystal level, and might even be legendary.

In addition to the Ghost Rider, Richard still remembered the St. Van Gogh Contract in the movie of his previous life. The contract contained the souls of three thousand devout believers, and these souls were tortured because of their corruption due to a deal with the devil.

The souls that have gone through this kind of ordeal are basically all high-level soul crystals. With three thousand high-level soul crystals, Richard can form several iron golem legions.

After receiving this news, he was determined to obtain the Saint Vanganza Contract.
