Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 83 The Giant Botanical Wizard's Laboratory

Within the Four Seasons Garden subspace.

Su Nan and his troops have now fully entered the Four Seasons Garden, but even though he was prepared, he was still shocked as soon as he entered.

All around were enormous wild grasses and flowers: roses, Chinese roses, orchids, carnivorous plants—the most common roadside weeds were now as big as houses.

Among these wild grasses and flowers, there are also many huge ants, worms, and even birds as big as a mountain in the sky.

Meanwhile, a sun that never dims hangs in the sky above the Four Seasons Garden.

Su Nan and his troops, in this vast garden, seemed to have been shrunk by magic, turning into tiny figures.

Su Nan even saw elephants, cheetahs, and tigers the size of pebbles at their feet.

In this garden of the four seasons, the large will become small, and the small will become large.

It seems that the natural laws here have been altered by magic.

Is this the world transformed by the oak wizard more than two thousand years ago using the magic of the botanical school?

Vasilyan and Warwick were stunned.

As two mortals who were pulled into the magical world by Su Nan, they were deeply shocked by this miraculous scene.

So this is what the church, cultists, and the forgotten ones are fighting for, and what they are all fighting over.

This is definitely worth fighting for.

This scene is truly magnificent.

In Su Nan's eyes, things were even more complicated. Su Nan's pupils turned blue, and high-energy magical power concentrated in his eyes.

He opened up a spiritual vision, a sense that belongs only to wizards, transcending the five senses, and representing a completely new mode of perception.

Seeing more means knowing more.

Exploring knowledge, in essence, means finding more ways to observe and explore the world than others do.

In Su Nan's eyes, the entire Four Seasons Garden contained terrifyingly powerful magical energy, and even now, with the tide of magic receding, this powerful magic still surprised him.

Therefore, it would probably be easier and more powerful to cast plant-based magic here.

Conversely, here, the power of death, frost, fire, and other magics that conflict with natural magic seem to be suppressed.

From this perspective, Death Knight Vashj'an's role in the Garden of Seasons is limited. However, werewolves are essentially a different kind of life magic, so although they don't receive any bonuses, they won't be suppressed by the natural magical power that fills the air.

Su Nan looked up at the sun in the sky, but unlike ordinary people, Su Nan saw with his spiritual vision that it was not the sun at all.

That's basically a floating "hanging garden".

In that sky garden, there were many huge, bright red flowers, as big as small mountains, and the flowers were burning with flames.

These flames gathered together, forming something resembling a sun, radiating energy throughout the Four Seasons Garden and replenishing the magical plants within.

At the same time, Su Nan saw with the vision of a wizard that there was actually wind in the sky above the Four Seasons Garden, and that the wind was blowing a large number of dandelion-like things into the Hanging Garden.

The dandelions turned into firewood, replenishing the energy consumed by the flame flowers, which then radiated their energy throughout the garden.

Su Nan immediately thought of a term—"ecosystem bottle"!

Or it could be an eco-box.

In a previous life on Earth, some people would create a small, simulated ecosystem of bacteria, fish, and plants in a small bottle or a glass fish tank.

And this vast subspace garden before us is probably the ecological masterpiece of the oak wizard and his apprentices more than two thousand years ago.

From the sun to the sky to the land, this place is filled with traces of being transformed by the magic of plants.

Amazingly, this ecosystem is still functioning normally even after more than two thousand years.

Su Nan said, "I see. This is a laboratory of the botanical wizards."

"I wonder where the Oak Wizard went. Normally, the wizarding school probably wouldn't even let me into their laboratory."

"But right now, I can easily access the data they obtained from their previous experiments. In a sense, I'm incredibly lucky."

Su Nan gave the AI ​​a command: "AI, begin recording relevant data. Will the plant magic data here be helpful for the new magic series, the Tree Guardian Potion series?"

Yes. Since you've become a First-Class Wizard Apprentice, and at this time, have delved into the Botanical School's laboratories, it's highly likely you'll complete the calculations for the Tree Guardian potion formula within this subspace.

Please continuously release mana waves in the surrounding area, once every 5 seconds.

Analysis reveals that every plant here bears traces of magical incantations, some powerful, some weak. The weakest are insignificant compared to yours, while the most powerful show signs of far surpassing your magical abilities.

[Speculation 1: This wasn't done by one person; perhaps it was completed by the formally appointed wizard and his many apprentices together.]

[Hypothesis 2: This place might not have been created overnight. Considering it's a naturally occurring subspace region, it was likely built by the Oak Wizard as he progressed from a third-class wizard apprentice. If this hypothesis is correct, then this garden maze contains all the magic the Oak Wizard learned from his apprenticeship to becoming a full-fledged wizard.]

This is a natural site where magic is passed down.

Su Nan nodded, but for ordinary people, even knowing this wouldn't be of much use, since the calculations required to reverse-engineer magical results from magical phenomena are far too extensive.

Su Nan noticed that Robert, one of his teammates, looked unwell. "Robert, what's wrong? Are you injured?"

"There are plenty of magical plants here. I'll find some healing plants that will heal your injuries quickly."

Because his army, now composed of werewolves, death knights, and golems, was not prepared with any potions to heal ordinary people.

But for a potions master, venturing into the laboratory of this botanical wizard was like coming home.

This place can be considered his semi-home ground.

Everywhere you look, there are magical plants containing special magical energy, making it a paradise for potion-making wizards.

Robert smiled weakly at Sunan. "Lord Sunan. I don't know why, but as soon as I entered this garden, I felt extremely weak, and every breath I took was painful."

"Maybe I'm just too weak?"

Su Nan immediately realized something. "AI, detect the components in the air."

Yes, the air was filled with the fragrance of many plants. But these weren't the direct cause of Robert's weakness; the air contained too much magic, and the place seemed completely isolated from the outside world.

[Speculation 1: Robert, as a knight of faith, was harmed by a high concentration of magical power.]

[Speculation 2: The Four Seasons Garden may have severed his connection with the Storm God, but if so, then his connection with the Storm God is far too weak.]

Su Nan thought for a moment. "Robert, you're riding on the obsidian bull statue."

"AI system, record the data on Robert's physical changes."

Robert glanced gratefully at Su Nan. "Yes, sir."

Then, he jumped onto the back of the obsidian bull statue.

Sunan glanced around. "Or told me that all formal wizards have wizard towers."

"So now we need to get out of the maze and into the Wizard's Tower. The Wizard's Tower should be the true core of the Four Seasons Garden. How do we get out of the maze?"

"Where have the church, cultists, and the forgotten gone?"

As a test, Su Nan led his troops to try walking a short distance straight ahead, but no matter where they went, they were surrounded by huge plants and insects.

In the middle of it all, they even encountered an attack from a cricket as big as a small hut.

That cricket probably mistook them for some kind of prey.

In any case, the normal food chain relationships in the material plane are completely reversed here.

Now it's insects eating elephants, and crickets eating humans.

The Death Knight Vasilien leaped onto the cricket's back, then plunged his black dagger into its brain, turning its brain into a pulp before finally killing it.

These insects might bully ordinary human soldiers, but they are relatively easy for a death knight to deal with.

Although these insects had their bodies enlarged, Su Nan noticed that they were likely failed experiments; their bodies were enlarged, but their strength was not.

For example, insects do not have lungs, only breathing pores, which causes their bodies to grow larger, but the amount of oxygen they absorb cannot keep up. As a result, they are relatively slow, weak, and have low defense.

Beneath a giant mushroom, Su Nan noticed a pool of human blood. Insect blood is typically colorless, yellow, orange-red, blue-green, or green, while human blood is quite different in color.

Su Nan noticed with his spiritual vision that the blood contained a considerable amount of magic; it was clearly the blood of a wizard. "The Forsaken have actually been injured."

"Was it done by cultists, the church, or are there experimental subjects inside this garden that could threaten second-tier wizard apprentices?"
