The seaside castle has been built after nearly half a year of construction. Gray is expected to be completed in three or four months, and at most no more than six months. He can move into the new castle this year.

If the staff continues to increase, the time will continue to be shortened, but if the increase continues to be the cost and the benefit are not proportional, so there is no need.

Before planning the location of the castle garden, Grey took Jasmine and Merida to dig a pit and threw five black seeds in it.

"If you plant this way, you will grow apple trees like fairies in the lake, and will you bear apples that can last forever?" Merida asked, staring at the soil without moving, as if you 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 fairy's apple tree in the lake. You'll probably get a weakened version." Gray thought for a while and replied.

If this magical fruit tree could be planted so simply, Narnia would have been filled with apple trees.

So he felt that even if it was planted, the effect would probably be greatly reduced, and it was not impossible to become an ordinary apple, and even worse, the apple trees might not grow at all.

"I have planted a lot of fruit seeds when I was, but none of them have grown saplings. Can this one grow?" Merida thought for a while and continued to ask.

Gray didn't expect that she thought of this, and she had never thought 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 prepared to plant the seeds and increase their survival rate as much as possible. Even if it is unlikely that they will get an apple tree like Aslan in the end, as long as there are some magical effects, it is enough.

Even if it doesn’t work, it’s just a fun thing to plant trees. It’s quite interesting to plant trees with friends.

Merida looked at his movements with a puzzled look, "Why don't you plant it?"

If you plant it, you may not get an apple tree, but if you don’t plant it, you will definitely not get an apple tree.

"We need to prepare something to increase the germination rate of seeds and ensure that the seedlings can thrive after germination." Grey said, "Let's go, we go to the forest to hunt first, and then go back to study how to increase the germination rate, make the seeds germinate, and also make some fertilizer, which may make the apples in the apple tree more magical."

"Hunting, I like hunting!" the elf shouted with his hands illuminated.

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

"My archery skills have improved a lot. I can shoot prey from a hundred meters away." Merida chased after her. Riding and archery was her favorite. Even if she didn't hunt, she wouldn't feel bored if she just rode her horse around for a while.

"What, do you want to play?" Gray smiled slightly and took out a longbow. "Then it depends on who has hunted more prey."

"Okay!" Merida agreed, blinking her big shiny eyes, "So what is the bet?"

There are naturally bets for the game. Although Gray was just planning to play and didn't want to bet anything, if Merida wanted to bet, then there was nothing wrong with it.

"What bet do you want?" Gray asked with a smile. Since Merida dared to propose it, she naturally had something to ask for it, otherwise she would not have to ask for a bet in a casually proposed fun competition.

Merida pretended to think for a while to prove that she was not planning for a long time, but on a whim. "Then let the winner ask the loser three questions. The loser must answer and not escape, what's the matter?"

Gray stared into her eyes and felt that the three questions were not a disaster, so he agreed, and, could Merida win him?

It is impossible. Although Merida has a high talent in this regard and has a good archery level, and may even be a little stronger than him, don't forget that in addition to archery, he is enough to crush Merida in all aspects.

"sure!"

"But there is a problem that we can only use arrows, not other weapons or even magic, otherwise you may lose if you catch me with your bare hands." Merida added, of course she knew that Gray's strength would not put herself in that disadvantage.

Gray nodded, "It's fair, what the game needs is fairness."

If two people with too different strengths compete and no restrictions are set, then there is no need to go ahead in the game. Merida's request is reasonable and there is no place to refuse.

If you really want to refuse, that would be too bullying. Gray can't do such a thing to girls, he is a warm model

The two of them were originally riding horses, and Merida always kept her bows and arrows away. Grey had some inventory in his backpack, so he didn't need to prepare anything anymore. They set out directly towards the forest.

Molly waved her magic wand and looked eager to try, but Gray felt that if she really wanted to use magic to attack those animals, it would only make them run faster.

He also tried hard to teach the elves some magic to protect and attack, but she basically forgot about it in a blink of an eye, but she had extraordinary talents for those magic such as healing.

As the two horses entered the forest, Merida took off the longbow on the horse's back, shot the arrow and shouted in a whisper: "Before the sun sets, the person with the most prey wins, the game begins."

Gray frowned a little. If you were hunting in a competition, it would obviously be fairer than the number of hunting in the test.

Because the heaviest prey is less likely to cheat than the largest number, after all, it is actually difficult to be fair if it compares the number. After all, a mouse, a rabbit or a bird can be regarded as prey.

If you compare weight, there are very few ways to cheat. After all, the larger the animals in the forest, the harder it is to deal with. Whether it is herbivores or carnivores, the difficulty is proportional to the harvest, which can better reflect the Peters gap.

However, after Merida shot the arrow, she rode into the forest on her horse and did not mean to stay and wait for Gray.

Gray smiled, not struggling with whether the betting method is easy to cheat. Anyway, it is just a joke game. There is no need to be so serious and plot everything.

Riding on his horse, he entered the forest from a different position from Merida, and Gray began to look for prey.

He often comes to this forest with Jasmine, so he has a general understanding of the distribution of prey in the forest, and even has detailed data in the database of Silly Girl.

However, Gray did not call out detailed data to cheat. He had to go through cheating when facing the enemy. It would be too boring to still cheat with friends in this kind of game. He lost the fun that the game should have.

Even Gray did not intend to use all his strength, and only used 50% of his strength to pull the bow.

On the other side, Merida and Jasmine were together, looking for traces of their prey all the way. At this time, she had a rabbit in her hand and she placed it on the horse's back.

"Merida, there is a sika deer over there." Jasmine pointed to the front.

Merida bit her lip and headed towards Jasmine. She had no special abilities. Jasmine was not a contestant and could not be considered cheating.
