I'm a mage, what's wrong with loving farming?

Chapter 10. Development
“This is really a big profit!”

After Cloya finished reading the chapter about the Magic Spring Pearl, she was extremely happy.

According to the experience of the traveler named "Wendy" in the book, this magic spring pearl is a special treasure that can only be produced by a clam called "Sea Moon Clam".

If the magic spring pearl is placed in any spring, it can use the magic power contained in it to permeate the spring water into a magical water vein rich in magic.

The most important thing is that it can also be "charged"!
If the magic power of the magic spring pearl is almost used up, just put it back into the clam shell where the pearl is nurtured to continue accumulating magic power.

In other words, the clam shell is also a natural "magic circle" that can gather magic power.

After learning this, Kroa thought about where to put the pearl. It would be best if it was inside the castle so that he could have easy access to it at any time.

But is there such a pure water source that meets the requirements in the castle?
He returned to the room he had just been in and asked his doubts. Butler Robert immediately replied with a smile: "Of course!"

"During the time you were meditating, we have thoroughly checked the castle. There is a spring of fresh water next to this room."

"Oh?"

Croix immediately became interested.

"Then let me see!"

As he said that, he walked outside, and then in the next room he saw a pool built right next to the mountain wall, and on the mountain wall there was a spring that flowed slowly along the stone wall into the pool.

The clear water has filled the pool to the brim.

He narrowed his eyes and immediately thought that the castle was built on a hill. After thinking for a while, it seemed that this place was close to the bottom of the cliff.

In other words, it is the water flowing out from the hill.

"This room is only known to the lord and his most loyal servants. It is said that it is the last reserve for the lord to drink when a typhoon occurs."

Rob, who is competent, introduced.

"Yes, if there is no fresh water source in a castle, and it is on an island, you will be trapped to death, right?"

Croa shook his head and did not continue to think deeply. Instead, he walked straight to the spring and scooped up a handful of water with interest to taste it.

It tastes slightly sweet and very refreshing.

It's obviously spring water, maybe rich in minerals or something.

"Not bad." He praised.

Then stuff the pearls directly in.

A strange scene suddenly appeared——

After it came into contact with water, its surface quickly became more transparent, and then it seemed to disappear, hidden directly under the rush of water.

But in fact it is still there, and all the water flowing through it has turned into a light blue stream, containing very pure water magic.

Not only can this water continue to be drinkable, the water magic in it will also be beneficial to the body, and it can also be used as a solution for some low-level water-attribute potions.

Croa nodded, "There's water here, so I'll use it to prepare a magic bath for you."

Well...actually he wanted to consume all the original water and replace it with the magical water from the Magic Spring Pearl.

"But you can't take a bath here. There should be a bath in the castle, right?"

“Yes!” Joshua said impatiently, “Lord, let’s go fetch some water right now!”

"Yes, yes, let's fetch water right away!"

Art, Chris and Norman followed suit and nodded.

Magic bath! It can really improve their strength. Let alone fetching water, even if they are asked to dig a well now, they will be willing.

Of course, Cloya let them fetch water.

He himself walked slowly under Robert's guidance to the bathing pool in the castle.

This is similar to the baths in medieval Europe and is quite luxurious.

But it is only relative.

He waited for the four men to fetch water while he ate something to fill his stomach.

After they fetched the water, Kloya threw a magic crystal into the water, silently chanted a spell, and soon the magic crystal dissolved in the water.

The water in the pool was filled with some magical mist. This was actually the so-called "magic bath". To put it simply, it was to guide the magic power in the magic crystal into the water, and then perform a secret method so that the knights could use the magic power in the water to open up their meridians.

This secret technique is a unique spell of the Mage Association. It is a special treatment that only the knights who have joined the Mage Association and learned the "secrets" provided by the association can enjoy.

But in the final analysis, it is still a means for the mages to control and restrict the knights - if they are not obedient, there is no way to improve their strength.

"Okay, you go in."

After making preparations, as soon as Cloya said this, the knights and Robert couldn't wait to take off their clothes and jumped into the pool immediately.

Croa sat by the pool, gathered his magic power into the water, and guided the magic power inside to inject into the bodies of several people.

This is very time-consuming and laborious.

So much so that half an hour later, after completing the spell, he left here exhausted without saying a word and returned to his residence to rest.

At this time, the five people in the pool had become like red shrimps, lying on the edge of the pool and gasping for breath, but their spirits were extremely excited.

They feel very good now!

At the same time, he also praised Croix's generosity, and his loyalty to Croix was obviously a little higher.

……

Cloya had anticipated this, and he felt that he should really be a hands-off boss - I've already given you benefits, so why don't you work hard for me?

The reason why he took the trouble to strengthen them was so that he could be a hands-off boss better.

For now, there are only five people I can trust, and their loyalty must be cultivated.

He stayed in the castle for some time afterwards.

In the morning and noon, I meditate and exercise my spiritual power surrounded by the fluorescent algae in the thirsty sea, and in the afternoon I read magic books.

Try to quickly learn the two magics that are suitable for Kabamon, "Tempering" and "Magic Forging".

Robert and the knights, who had enjoyed his magic bath, were already working hard to thoroughly investigate the situation on the entire island.

The first thing was the coconut trees he was looking forward to. According to statistics, there were fifteen of them, and they had already been moved near the castle by the former lord Bartos.

Upon learning this, Croa ordered his newly found servants to water the coconut trees with spring water filtered by the magic spring pearl every day.

I hope the pure water magic here can mutate them quickly.

Then there are the island’s specialties.

It was exactly as Bartos said, there was only one pyrite mine, and no other minerals or magic plants.

This made Kroa a little disappointed. After coming here and accidentally discovering the Magic Spring Pearl, he thought there would be some hidden treasure on his island.

But it was also expected, I just sighed and didn't care about it anymore.

Finally, it is about the cultivation areas of olives and Poseidon barley.

The former is easy, just find a flat place to plant it; the latter is a little troublesome, you have to choose a gentle sandy beach that cannot be submerged by sea water.

After searching for a few days, I finally found a suitable place.

However, he did not personally participate in the planting of these two crops, nor did he even go to the field to investigate. Instead, he fully trusted Rob's judgment.

A lord cannot worry about everything, and training his subordinates is very important. He chose to take out half of the seeds and let Robert find someone to plant and take care of them.

Even if you fail, you still have room for trial and error.

It’s just half. If we can find some capable people who are good at growing crops, it won’t be a loss.

that's it,
He paid a little attention to what was happening on the island and then stopped caring.

He put more of his attention on studying magic, and also used the spring water from the Magic Spring Pearl to make some potions to make the magic plants grow quickly.

These are what he needs to focus on.

Under the potion and his continuous infusion of magic power.

Sunflowers grow quickly.

Finally, it's mature!
