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

Chapter 105 105. Peas and Stumps

When the Magic Field Vine was purchased, the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce had already specifically stated that it had the ability to extend other magical properties.

This means that by feeding it fire attribute magic power, Kloya can extend another magic field dedicated to the growth of fire attribute magic plants.

Of course, the price is that it requires a lot of fire magic power.

Here we need the sunflower magic power generated by the sunflowers.

Croa had thought of this as early as when he bought it.

The magic of the sun can be said to be one of the purest fire magics. Using it to help the magic field vines extend and expand is definitely the best choice.

"Now let's test whether the magic of sunlight is suitable."

Standing at the place where the magic field vines took root, Kloa patted the Wood Yao Curved Vine King disguised as an ordinary magic plant next to him and said, "Release your magic power."

Magic power like liquefied sunlight immediately flowed on the surface of the Mu Yao Qu Teng King, irrigating towards a raised area at the root of the grape vines in the magic field.

After absorbing the magic power, the small bulge began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, replicating the growth of the first vine.

Only this time, it is much more beautiful than the first time.

The sun magic that Sunflower had painstakingly collected dyed all the vines light gold, just like the clear light gold crystal.

The sunlight will shine down unhindered.

It looks extremely glorious and dazzling, as if the land is covered with a layer of holy gold, as if blessed by the gods.

Croa looked up and watched them expand and grow, feeling the filtered sunlight falling on his cheeks, and everything he saw was golden.

The farm servants working in the distance were all stunned. Gold was brighter than any other color and more in line with the concept of "miracle".

They even trembled and wanted to prostrate themselves.

"Tsk, this is much more beautiful than the other piece of land."

Kloya glanced at the land covered by light blue vines, then looked at the light golden land, and immediately felt that the latter was much more pleasing to the eye.

Personally, he does prefer this brighter gold color, which may be related to the meditation method he practices.

"I don't know what the yellow will be after the red and orange in the meditation method."

Muttering something, he began to take out the magic plants one by one from the holy spring spout.

The first thing to be taken out was the flame stump.

Surprisingly, it did not start out as a stump.

This is a thick tree stump that is about half a person's height and can be hugged by one person. The bark on its surface has dried and cracked, and you can clearly see the hollow trunk with flames flowing inside.

According to the Lord of Flame Mountain, if you want to let the flame inside it show, you need to cut it in the middle and turn it into a stump artificially.

Croa didn't cut it right away.

He first observed its astral structure, and after making sure it had no desires, he reached out and made a stroke -

"Crack!"

An invisible crescent-shaped magical shockwave directly and heavily hit the tree trunk.

"Crack!"

This is the second-level magic impact blade he learned, which can gather magic power to form a flying knife that can cut some things.

As soon as the impact blade hit it, the tree cracked neatly from the center, and the upper part fell to the side.

At this point, it really turned into a flaming stump—

The light red flame burned in the hollow heart of the tree, revealing the warmth from magic and a fragrant smell.

Maybe it's because it has been away from the area with fire magic for too long, the flame it burns always feels a little weak.

Kloya poked his head out to see what was in the center of the tree stump - a long time ago, when he was playing Plants vs. Zombies, he was very curious about how the fire inside was caught.

All you can see is pitch black, but there is reddish-brown grease flowing and dripping inside, and it seems that it is this grease that keeps the flame burning for a long time.

"Resin?" Kloya stretched out the wizard's hand in confusion, pinched a little, and held it in front of his eyes to observe.

The shape of these reddish-brown resins is extremely stable. Even when there is a flame burning on them, they will not turn black or burn.

If you smell it up close, you can smell the scent of trees, which is deeper than pine resin and not pungent.

Only naturally formed fragrances have this smell. Perfumes that have been blended will more or less make people feel a little pungent.

He wondered, "It smells pretty good, but why hasn't this thing been developed and utilized?"

Generally speaking, this kind of resin is used as a spice or some kind of medicinal material. He doesn’t know its medicinal value yet, but the aroma should be enough to make spice, right?

Just as he was wondering, the flame burning on the resin in the wizard's hand suddenly went out.

The reddish-brown resin is like a ball of amber, quietly staying inside.

"what?"

Croa was even more puzzled.

It was working fine just now, how come it suddenly went out?

He checked it carefully and found that the fire element magic inside was gone. The fire element magic was needed for the resin to burn.

Only when there is fire element magic can it burn and emit a fragrant smell. If not, it will solidify into a ball.

"Is that so? If so, it does make sense.

Without magic power, it won’t burn stably. After all, not many people can afford it.”

He was lost in thought, his thoughts wandering.

He remembered that in Plants vs. Zombies, there was a situation where the Pea Shooter passed through a flaming tree stump and turned into a flaming pea.

If this thing requires the element of fire to burn and adhere, it seems that we can actually think of a way to do it.

For example, if it attaches to a pea, will it become a flaming pea?
He put the matter aside for the time being and decided to wait until he saw the impact peas to see what condition they were in.

He took out a full one hundred flame tree stumps and began to plant them using the Wizard's Hand.

Soon, one hundred flame tree stumps were planted.

Red flames burned inside the tree stumps. A hundred flaming tree stumps were planted there, and the rising flame magic seemed to be about to take shape.

Unbeknownst to Kloya, underground, they were madly absorbing the Yangyan magic power supplied by the magic field vines, and the shape of the flames was also undergoing subtle changes.

Dyed with a light golden hue.

This kind of magical plant does not need to be separated by a large distance from each other. It can thrive with just enough magic power and a little water.

After placing it, Croa took out the "Impact Pea".

This thing looks pretty normal.

It is a kind of light red pea, growing seven or eight pods, and you can see distinct peas in each pod.

It is naturally completely different from the pea shooter in the game that has undergone obvious artistic processing.

"It seems like this..."

However, when Cloya gently stimulated the pod with magic power, the pod immediately opened slightly, and the peas inside flew out with a "bang".

The power was obviously quite large. When it hit the ground, it even created small pits on the ground.

The peas themselves were intact and still green.

Croa stared at the peas that fell to the ground and suddenly realized, "So that's how they were launched."

"They are extremely sensitive to the stimulation of magic power, and will actively emit towards places with more magic power. Is this a way of reproduction?"

After discovering this, he became a little curious again.

How far can it be launched?

This time he specially infused some magic power into the pea seedlings, and then used magic power to stimulate them again.

As a result, the peas were attached with the magic power he gave as "fuel" and burst out directly, flying towards the sky and flying far away.

In the end, even his Eagle Vision ability couldn't see it anymore.

"So far?" Kloya blinked and immediately thought of a fun way.

He took out a lump of resin from the flame tree stump, poured fire magic into it, and after making sure it burned, he kneaded it and stretched it to form a burning film.

Then, he used magic power to stimulate the pea pod.

The peas inside burst out and passed directly through the thin film formed by the resin, and the magical resin naturally stuck to the peas.

The film isolated the flames from burning the peas directly. In this way, it flew wildly towards the sky with flames burning.

Finally, it disappeared like a meteor flying in the opposite direction.

"Hahaha."

"Isn't this just the Pea Shooter plus the Flaming Stump?"

Having successfully reproduced some of the plants in his memories, he smiled with satisfaction.

However, if that were all, the effect would still be a bit small. This impact force and the flames attached to it would probably only be able to effectively kill ordinary people.

If he wanted to make it truly powerful, Croix now had two considerations:

One is to add more powerful kinetic energy to the impact peas, such as drawing a magic circle on the pod to increase the impact force, and really develop it into a pea "shooter".

Secondly, we can work on the flame of the flame tree stump, such as a flame that is difficult to extinguish and continues to burn, or an explosive flame.

If we think about it further, can we train them to be sensitive to a certain kind of magic and target places that are contaminated by the corresponding magic?

The war weapons of mages in this world are mostly magic crystal cannons, which are similar to guns. Although the dwarves have made them, they are not mainstream yet.

If the Pea Shooter can be well researched, the cost alone will be much lower than those two things. It can not only be used for defense, but also as a weapon for ordinary people.

It is difficult to find extraordinary people like mages and knights, but there are plenty of ordinary people like them.

He felt that he could continue research in this area.

But before that, there are still many kinds of magical plants left that he needs to cultivate well.
