Chapter 85: Noble Rove

The joys and sorrows of students are not the same, but the pain when they encounter difficult problems is the same.

You can tell by the look on Hermione's face. She took the question and couldn't help but scratch her hair. Her already fluffy curls became even more messy, and she just said:

"This question is too difficult, I can't do it."

Hermione was smart, but she had only been exposed to the pea hybrid experiment for a few minutes and had no foundation at all. It was really difficult for her to jump into some questions.

So, Rolf is ready to... intensify his efforts.

The other students also looked confused, but Professor Sprout didn't expect the students to understand, just a general understanding.

They don't engage in technical hybridization experiments, they only engage in simple and crude...artificial pollination.

"Peas are self-pollinating, cleistopollinating plants, and are generally purebred in their natural state." Professor Sprout said:

"If we want to get hybrid pink peas, we must do artificial pollination. This is also your main work today."

Professor Sprout first demonstrated the process of pollination with a tool, then pointed to the corner and said:

"There are the tools you need there, as well as those anti-bee suits, be sure to put them on." Professor Sprout said, "Okay, let's start quickly."

The little wizards immediately rushed forward to grab the peas. No one wanted to get the shabbiest bee-proof suit. After grabbing the tools, they began to pollinate the peas step by step.

Artificial pollination is a simple task. First, emasculate and remove all the male cores of immature flowers;

Then put a paper bag on the female flower and seal it. When the flower matures, collect the pollen from the plant you need and sprinkle it on the stigma of the female flower with the male flower removed.

Of course, ordinary plants will go well, but magical plants will not cooperate so well.

If you want to remove other people's male flower cores, but also want to pollen other pollen on your own female flowers, it looks like an extremely abominable NTR behavior... Of course the magical plants will fight hard to resist.

Harry and Ron were dealing with a short Bubble Pea. It tried to wrap its vines around their arms, but it was too small and was quickly crushed beneath them.

Harry had the pea under control while Ron took a pair of tweezers and began to pull out the core of the male flower.

Bubble Pea spit out snow-white pollen, which sprayed on Ron's mask like a goddess scattering flowers.

Ron was wearing a breathable anti-bee suit, and the pollen passed through the fine mesh on the mask and landed on his face, causing him to sneeze.

"Are you okay, Ron?" Harry asked concerned.

"It's okay, it's just pollen that got into my nose."

Ron opened his mask and was about to wipe the pollen off his face when he suddenly stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, smacking his lips and saying:

"This pollen is so sweet...Harry, it's like honey."

"Really?" Harry held the vine of Bubble Pea and said hesitantly, "Is there going to be no problem?"

He still remembers finding "jelly beans" in the juice of pitcher plants in the first class of first grade. After eating many of them, he realized that they were Hu Meizi's feces.

Ever since he was cheated that time, Harry had not dared to eat randomly again for the past two years.

"It's really not feces this time, it must be pollen."

Ron vowed, he wiped the white pollen from his lips with his fingers, handed it to Harry's mouth and said, "Try it quickly."

"..."

Obviously, compared to licking Ron's fingers, Harry still felt that it was cleaner and more hygienic to spray bubble peas directly on his hands.

Soon, Harry's hands were covered with pollen. He stuck out his tongue and licked it, his eyes lit up and he said, "Wow, it's really sweet!"

"Squirt again!" Ron said excitedly.

After two consecutive shots of this pea plant, the third shipment was somewhat unsatisfactory, and the taste was much lighter than before.

Harry and Ron abandoned it decisively and replaced it with a larger pea plant.

This behavior soon spread to other students, and they all imitated it, secretly licking the pollen while pollinating the bubble peas.

Seamus and Dean even pointed a bubble pea directly at their mouths, using this wild method to show off today's "dessert."

Harry suddenly felt something crawling up his cheek. He waved it away, but it came back immediately.

"Ron, did you hear the buzzing?"

Ron burped and said, "I think I heard it. Are there any bees around here?"

"I think so. This is a greenhouse after all." Harry scratched his itchy cheek and said suddenly, "No wonder Professor Sprout told us to wear anti-bee suits..."

"Yeah, that makes sense."

The two men suddenly looked at each other in horror, and both saw the bees crawling on the other's face.

"Ahhhh~ there are bees!"

Countless bees appeared, swarming around the students, and the buzzing sound of their wings echoed around everyone's hearing.

Harry and Ron hurriedly pulled up their masks, but the swarm of bees were licking the pollen on their bodies. They were also locked in bee-proof suits and started stinging like crazy.

In addition to the bees, there are also Billywig bugs that got in from nowhere.

The Billywig is an insect native to Australia. It is as big as a tiger bee, heavy in body, blue in color with a bright luster like sapphire, and has a slender sting at the bottom of its body.

Compared to bees, after being stung by a billywig bug, you will feel dizzy and then your body will float.

At this time, Justin and McMillan were like birds, suspended in mid-air, starting the Gemini orbit around the earth.

Rove did not pollinate, nor did he lick the pollen. He stood quietly in place. When a Billywig approached, his hand quickly rushed out like a snake and grabbed the other party.

[To be honest, I have been using the source change app to read books and follow the updates recently. It can switch sources and has many reading tones. It is available for Android and Apple. ]

Rove held the Billywig in his hand and let it buzz wildly. Then he took out the potion and applied it to its abdomen. After doing all this, he opened his hand and let them fly away.

Hermione didn't care about pollination. She stood aside and observed for a moment, then asked curiously, "Rolf, what are you doing?"

"I'm using the marking potion to mark the Billywig worms." Rolf explained softly:

"When these spy bees go back, I can follow the clues and find their nests."

"..."

The Billywig worms are full of treasures. Their stings can be used to make potions. The honey they make is many times sweeter than ordinary honey. It is also the raw material for sizzling bee sugar, which is extremely expensive.

Of course, these are not the main reasons why Rolf caught them.

Billywig worms are very dangerous. Too many stings can cause uncontrolled floating for several days. If an allergic reaction occurs, it may also cause permanent floating in the air.

If they are allowed to fly around like this, they may accidentally sting students.

Therefore, Rolf had to take action for the safety of the students, without any selfish motives.

He... is so noble.
