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

Chapter 107 107. "Gift" and Magic-Forbidden Iron

The new ingredients bring Croa an unforgettable novel experience.

Although the only fruits that are ripe and edible now are the pine nuts of the red flame pine, the Torna blood pomegranate, the burning pepper and the flame cherry.

There isn't even a proper staple food, just fruits, nuts and seasonings.

But Cloya, who had long been tortured by all kinds of fish soup, bread and shoddy food, really needed these things to recuperate.

Especially the seared peppers.

This deep red pepper, which looks like a palm-sized ball, exudes its own presence at all times.

Chili! Eat spicy food!
He used to love spicy food, but after eating it he would get a sore throat and stomach upset.

But for Kloya now, his strength has long been able to ensure that he will not suffer from embarrassing stomachaches or toothaches when eating any spicy food.

The magic strengthened his body, allowing him to eat ingredients that would be poison to ordinary people more freely.

When he saw the pepper, he almost immediately thought of several dishes that needed to be cooked with pepper - although there were peppers on the island, how could such ordinary plants be compared with the magic plants?

Just want excitement!

“I don’t know what it tastes like.”

He waved his hand impatiently, and the wizard's hand flew out immediately and began the process of making food.

The aroma of cooking soon wafted from the castle terrace.

The main food today is various dishes made with seared bell peppers, served with fried pine nuts, pomegranates and flame cherries.

The pine nuts have already undergone a series of processing and only need to be fried before they can be eaten.

This was absolutely no difficulty for Cloya, who had already become more and more proficient in using the Mage's Hand. Even frying pine nuts and peeling pomegranates at the same time was no problem at all.

He was distracted, paying attention to that side while looking down at the football-sized pomegranate in his hand.

"This is really big. I wonder what it tastes like."

He licked his lips and began to peel it seriously.

As soon as I broke it open, the pomegranate seeds inside fell out impatiently. Each one was like a ruby, crystal clear and beautiful like a work of art.

"Blood pomegranate, it should refer to this color." Cloya reached out and picked up a handful, then put them all into his mouth and chewed them carefully.

It feels really good to eat pomegranate seeds in big bites.

As soon as it enters the mouth and you chew it gently, the sweet and sour juice unique to pomegranate will burst out, but when you chew the pomegranate seeds, there is an extremely faint smell like rust.

The taste is not bad. On the contrary, it has a wonderful feeling that the more you eat, the more addictive it becomes. The seeds are also soft and can be crushed with a little chewing.

His entire mouth was filled with juice that looked like blood, and with that rusty taste, no wonder it was called a blood pomegranate.

"Is the iron content excessive? Is there iron ore under the tree?"

"Then I have to get some iron ore."

While thinking, he picked up his handkerchief to wipe his mouth and continued to peel the pomegranate with great interest.

No one knew what was going on, but the sunflower elf that had been staring at him suddenly started to cry out "Eaah-Eaah".

It was already burning with red and orange light, and it looked more like it was on fire.

It glared at the pomegranate, then flew back and reached out to pick the sunflower seeds on its own flower disk, and presented them to Cloya like a treasure - there were both red and orange sunflower seeds.

There are dozens of each.

The sunflower seeds produced by this elemental magic plant are made entirely of magic power. You don't even need to crack them open, you can just eat them directly.

"Uh……"

Looking at its expression, Kloya immediately knew what was going on. It must have felt that the other animals were eating other things and not its sunflower seeds.

"You can be jealous too."

Kloya could only take it helplessly, and ate all the sunflower seeds under its watchful eyes, and put the pomegranate away at the same time.

Then he praised: "Your sunflowers are still the most delicious!"

"Ah!" The sunflower elf was finally satisfied and floated onto Cloya's shoulder, just like that.

It itself is a special form composed of elemental magic, so it is naturally soft like slime and really turns into a pool of "sunflowers".

Cloya glanced at it and decided to put the pine nuts away for the time being.

He used the magician's hand to bring boiled fish, spicy fish, spicy fried clams and other dishes that had just come out of the pot to himself.

Then he started to feast on the food.

Needless to say, these ingredients are all the freshest and top quality, and only some simple but effective seasonings are used.

The seared peppers and other spices did not cover up the original flavor of the fish at all. Instead, the original flavor of the fish was fully brought out due to the magic of fire.

The umami and spicy taste seemed to explode in Cloya's mouth, so delicious that he could swallow his tongue.

"Hihahahaha!"

He couldn't help but gasp.

The so-called eating spicy food means that it should be spicy and spicy, and you should keep eating it. The more you eat, the more delicious it will be.

Croix was happily enjoying his dinner here.

but,

After a while, King Mu Yao Qu Teng suddenly asked him, "Master, Baron Kemoye and the Seleucid merchant met at the dock of Hanjiao Island.

"Do you want to let them take the teleportation array into the island?"

Its vines have not yet expanded to that location, but there are people specifically responsible for guarding the teleportation array, and any important situations will be transmitted back through the array.

The visit of a baron was certainly an important event for the people guarding there.

"Hmm?" Cloya slowed down the movement of picking up the meat a little and glanced at the half-dark sky.

"He's still alive."

"That's quite a coincidence, these two people actually ran into each other... But the teleportation array must not be known to others."

Since they are coming, let them come by boat. " After saying this, he continued to enjoy his food. Now nothing can stop him from enjoying life. As for the baron and the merchant, let's wait until they come.

"Ok."

King Mu Yao Qu Teng also fell silent.

……

About half an hour later.

Baron Kemoye, with a confused look on his face, brought Seleu to the land of Hanjiao Island.

He couldn't help but look back for the third time at the person who was tightly bound by iron chains in the cage.

The baron never imagined that a businessman he supported in his spare time could actually convey the will of the young master of the Northern Territory.

I also need to give Master Croa a "gift".

Although he was extremely skeptical whether this "person" could really be a gift?
He didn't dare to ask more questions, for fear that there might be some secrets involved that he couldn't understand. He was quite cautious on this point.

I am curious, but I won’t ask too many questions.

He knew that there were some things he was safer not knowing.

With such doubts in mind, he, under the guidance of Robert, temporarily entered the newly renovated Lotus Guest House to wait.

At this time, the reception hall has been connected to magic as an energy source. The lights are bright inside, and a total of twenty different rooms have been separated as temporary lounges.

After entering the bright room from the pitch-black sea, the Baron felt a lot more at ease.

"As expected of Master Croa, this is a magic lamp."

He looked up at the lights on the ceiling and marveled.

Then, he looked around the room and to be honest, it was far less luxurious than his place.

But both the beds and the tables and chairs were very clean and tidy, covered with white tablecloths and sheets. They were simple but looked very comfortable.

Of course it can be used as a lounge temporarily.

He sat here patiently and waited.

……

the other side.

Croix was actually meeting with the merchant Seryuu because he was very interested in the gift from the so-called young master of the Northern Territory Traveler.

So I gave priority to meeting the merchants.

But when he saw the cage being carried in, he was stunned for two seconds.

Then, he pointed at the person in the cage and said calmly, "Is this the gift that young master asked you to give me?"

A person! A naked person!
He had just heard from Huanling Cloud Snake a few days ago about the arrival of the prisoners, and surprisingly one of them was delivered alive right before his eyes.

The problem is, what use is there for him to have this person? The least valuable thing in this world is human life, let alone this kind of "prisoner".

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone unconsciously.

"Yes." Selyu was a little nervous, with sweat on his fat face. "Lord Olivier asked me to tell you that he is a very special person among the prisoners. You will definitely be interested."

Croa: “…”

So I really hate the Riddler.

Just give me a gift, but why do you have to keep half? Why on earth would I be interested in this guy?
So what is the reason?

After thinking for a while, Cloya asked, "Does he know my identity?"

Seryu shook his head: "No, I didn't tell him, and Master Olivier didn't ask any further questions, he just said he wanted to give this gift to you."

"Besides, he also said that he will be leaving soon and hopes you can give him some more of those sunflower seeds."

"Then what did he say as the price?" If he was willing to give something good, then of course Croa would be willing to continue supplying it.

"..." Seleu was silent for a moment, then he said cautiously: "He said he can give you more of these torturers."

"..."

This was the second time today that Croa fell silent.

Why are you so confident that I will definitely want these prisoners?
He simply waved his hand and said, "Stay here for now and leave tomorrow."

He would like to study carefully what is so different about the prisoner that makes him so determined to exchange for his sunflower seeds.

The businessman suddenly felt relieved, bowed quickly and left.

After he left, Cloya stood up and walked to the cage, reaching out and touching it.

The fingertips immediately felt a slight numbness, as if the flow of magic power was forced to slow down for a moment by some force.

Croa frowned and said, "Well, this is the magic-forbidden iron."

The so-called anti-magic iron is a special metal that can block the flow of magic power. It is said that it is only found in a very small number of magic crystal-rich mines.

They are also divided into different levels. The one in front of Kloya is obviously the lowest level, and other metals are added. At most, it can only delay the flow of magic power for a moment.

If it is the legendary highest-grade anti-magic iron, it can even form a natural field array, making it impossible for mages within the range to cast spells.

It is worth mentioning that the Mage Association hates forbidden magic iron.

If Croa reported this news, there would definitely be bigwigs in the association who would protest to the Imperial Household Agency in the royal capital.

Even the young master of a Northern Territory Traveler must be held accountable.

If you have it in private, no one can stop you, but if you bring it out openly, the Mage Association will definitely explode.

and so……

"Showing the Forbidden Magic Iron to a wizard... is that handing the evidence to me? Are you so sure that this person can satisfy me?"

His interest and curiosity were indeed aroused, and he planned to take a closer look to see what was so magical about it.
