Chapter 177 Symbiosis
Over the next few days, Rowling spent almost all his time in the research lab.
Combining the new map of the Civilization Stone Tablet with his own experimental data, he reconstructed the theoretical model of the "disintegration of order," adjusted the structure and emission parameters of the order probe, and began to design a more complex, but theoretically more effective, energy modulation sequence.
He knew that there was still a long way to go before he could make this spell practical.
But at least the direction is clearer, and the path ahead is more defined.
Peaceful days passed by one by one.
The spells were steadily improving, the understanding of the stone tablets was deepening, Ellie was growing, and Blackrock Town maintained its tenacity and tranquility amidst the ashes and hot winds.
Rowling really liked this state of mind.
Strength accumulates, knowledge settles, and the mind becomes increasingly resilient and insightful in tranquility.
He would occasionally think of the Santa headquarters, of those grand plans and unsolved mysteries.
But he knew he needed this time rooted in the ordinary routines of daily life.
Only by planting roots deep enough can we stand firmer and see further when facing even fiercer storms in the future.
The magical plant on the windowsill stretched its leaves under Ellie's care, the experimental field in the backyard recorded his repeated failures and successes, and the calculation drafts on the desk piled up higher and higher.
In-depth research into the new theoretical model of "disruption of order" has given Rohring a deeper understanding of the intricacies and complexity of energy structures.
He often stares blankly at the energy diagrams and the samples of magical plants, his thoughts wandering between the microscopic energy world and the macroscopic life forms.
One evening, Ellie came to report on the situation at the Magic Plant Garden as usual.
She mentioned that she has recently been trying to cultivate a rare low-level magical plant called Star Vein Grass.
This grass is extremely sensitive to the environment of star power, and it usually only grows in specific areas with abundant star power. It is difficult for it to survive in the environment of Blackrock Town.
Ellie tried many methods, such as adjusting the soil and simulating a weak stellar energy field, but the Star Vein Grass was still half-dead, with only the core few leaves maintaining a weak vitality.
"I feel like it can sense the power of the stars, but it can't effectively absorb and transform it, like someone who is extremely thirsty but can't find a water source."
Ellie squatted in front of the thin, weak Starvein Grass, her fingers gently brushing against the wilted leaves, her tone somewhat dejected.
Luo Lin was also observing this pot of Star Vein Grass.
Under the perception of the Ring of Insight, there were indeed extremely faint energy resonance points inside this little grass that were in sync with the stellar energy. However, these resonance points were like broken wires, unable to channel the pitifully thin stellar energy in the environment into its own energy circulation system.
Its talent limited its growth.
Talent — Limitations —
A sudden thought flashed through Rowling's mind like lightning.
Ellie's situation is, in some ways, quite similar to that of this Star Vein Grass!
She possesses a keen perception and affinity for plant energy, and has a strong will and works hard.
However, her innate mental activity and talent for sensing basic elemental energies, by conventional standards, were indeed insufficient to support her in quickly building a stable meditation model and officially embarking on the path of a wizard.
Her talent trajectory also seems to be hindered by some kind of obstacle or innate deficiency.
Since magical plants can sense and even absorb specific energies to a certain extent, and the essence of a wizard's talent lies in their high affinity for and potential to manipulate certain types of energy—
So, could we draw on the concept of precise control of energy structure in the Observer civilization, as well as certain symbiotic phenomena in nature, to artificially construct an external energy sensing and auxiliary conversion system for Ellie that is deeply bound to a specific magical plant?
This idea is bold and crazy, and full of unknown risks.
But when Luo Lin recalled the fundamental principles describing the interaction and transformation of energy structures in the Civilization Stele, and his own increasingly sophisticated control over the microscopic level of energy, he felt that it was not entirely impossible.
Most importantly, a suitable symbiotic medium is needed.
This Star Vein Grass is clearly too weak to bear the weight.
We need a magical plant with stronger vitality, wider energy adaptability, and the ability to deeply resonate with Ellie's natural affinity and talent.
"Ellie," Rowling suddenly spoke, his voice calm yet carrying a subtle hint of inquiry.
"Among the magical plants you cultivate, is there any that you feel you have a relationship with—more than just caretaker and cared-for?"
"You can vaguely sense its energy flow, even its emotional changes, as if there's a special connection?"
Ellie paused for a moment, then thought carefully, her eyes suddenly lighting up: "Yes! There's a moonflower!"
"I found it a long time ago in a damp corner of an abandoned mine north of town. It was just a small patch, and I carefully transplanted it back and kept it in a shady place."
"Every time I approach it and meditate using the 'Green Wood Spirit Gathering Technique,' I feel particularly calm, as if I can hear the subtle joy it feels as it slowly grows and absorbs the night dew and glimmer of light."
"It's also strange that it doesn't need much care from me; it grows very well on its own, and its leaves emit a very faint silvery halo like moonlight at night."
Moonflower?
Luo Lin knew about this magical plant. It wasn't particularly rare, but it was indeed known for its sensitivity to moonlight and gentle natural energy. It had a tenacious vitality and a neutral and peaceful energy nature.
"Take me to see this." Rowling stood up.
Ellie immediately led Rowling to a shady stone trough in the far corner of her magic plant garden.
The stone trough was covered with damp moss and pebbles, and a cluster of flowers, about the size of a palm, with thick leaves and a warm, silvery-gray color, grew quietly.
Although it was daytime, in this shady spot, one could still see an extremely faint, flickering silver light, like the light of a breath, on the edges of the leaves.
Luo Lin crouched down, not rushing to use his mental power to investigate, but first using the Insight Ring to scan the outermost layer of energy.
The energy field of the moonflower is very weak, but exceptionally stable and pure, carrying a cool, moonlit quality and the unique vitality of plants.
Its energy fluctuation frequency does indeed resonate with the natural affinity that Ellie exudes after cultivating the "Azure Wood Spiritual Energy Technique."
More importantly, deep within the energy structure of the Moon Silver Flower, Luo Lin vaguely sensed a very special natural structure resembling an energy interface or resonance anchor.
This structure is extremely rare among ordinary magical plants, seemingly giving it an energy interaction potential far exceeding that of its kind.
"This is it." Rowling made up his mind.
This silver flower may be the ideal prototype of a symbiotic medium.
But he didn't tell Ellie the whole plan right away. The idea was too immature, and the risks were unknown.
He needs to conduct extensive theoretical deductions and preliminary preparations first.
"This moonflower is quite special," Rowling said to Ellie.
"It resonates strongly with your energy."
"I want to use it to do some research, which may help in understanding the energy connection between magical plants and wizards."
"Take care of it as usual during this time, but do not use the 'Azure Wood Spirit Technique' to actively resonate with it deeply for the time being."
Although Ellie had some doubts, she trusted Rowling's words completely and immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay, Mr. Rowling."
