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

Chapter 127 127. Exchange Life for Gold

After he made the decision, he started trying it out.

He extracted the power from the Kongyao chip, and through the Qiyao engraving technique, began to form the prototype of a small circular magic array.

This is the vehicle for this magic.

Simply inserting this round chip into a creature's eye will automatically cut off and paralyze the nerves.

This will complete the effect of the blindness spell.

Of course, with the Astral Body Imprinting Technique, Kloya can choose to do it in the same way as when he imprinted the King of Mu Yao Qu Teng.

First, engrave the position of the goddess' gold coin on the star body of the gold-eating worm, and then put the prepared magic carrier into it.

To be honest, the process of manipulation was a bit like performing a delicate surgery. Croix had to wrap the engraving carrier of the blindness spell around the goddess' gold coin just right.

This process can only be achieved with the technique of Astral Body Imprinting, which allows one to clearly see the Astral Body of the gold-eating worm.

Under his manipulation, the carrier of the blindness spell was perfectly covered on the gold coin with the goddess's head.

The platinum-colored light belonging to the power of Void was like a curtain, covering the goddess's head and blocking the golden light it released.

[Engraving successful, Gold Devouring Worm·Curse of the Goddess of Fortune (Blindness)]

[Before the power of Kong Yao is completely consumed, the curse of the goddess of wealth will be ineffective. ]

[By replenishing the power of the void in time, the speed of its expiration can be slowed down. 】

The moment the mark took effect, the worm that was marked began to tremble suddenly, and then began to frantically devour the gold at Cloya's feet.

While eating, it spit out extremely thin golden silk threads, which formed a cocoon beside its body and wrapped itself in it.

Gorgeous light flows on the golden cocoon.

This is pure gold thread!
With a little bit of work, it can be used as the magic pattern of a magic circle. Gold is a very good magic-conducting metal.

Just like that, it was treated as a cocoon.

"How long will it take you to break out of your cocoon..."

"Ok?"

Before Cloya could think, the golden light on the cocoon moved inward, instantly losing its luster and becoming like grayish-white waste.

And the next second, a butterfly covered in golden light broke out of the cocoon, and its wings flowed like liquid gold.

Croa's figure actually appeared on it.

As it flaps its wings and flies, the things on it are constantly changing.

Just like in a cartoon, a worm appeared and kowtowed to Croa, then Croa waved his hand to help it, and it crawled into the cocoon, and finally emerged as a butterfly.

You know what, both the image of Croa and the image of the worm are quite vivid.

It's like a real recorded scene.

The magic power it exudes changes very noticeably, from breaking out of its cocoon to dancing around Chloe, as if it increases with every flap of its wings.

When it finally landed on Cloya's finger, it had reached the fourth level of magic power.

At the same time, its race has also changed -

The golden butterfly.

It is as bright and gorgeous as gold, and as noble and elegant as the gods in legends. Just looking at its appearance, it really fits the name.

"Level 4 Demon Bug, you should understand what I am saying."

Croix stretched out his finger and poked it: "What can you do to help me?"

The picture on the wings of the Golden God Butterfly changed again. This time, it was facing a stone. After flapping its wings several times, it used simple lines to show the changes in the stone's glow.

"Um……"

Although it was a bit strange, Cloya still understood its meaning.

"You said you could turn stone into gold?"

This time there was no picture on the golden butterfly's wings, it simply flapped its wings to indicate that it was correct.

Then it flew directly onto a rock nearby.

It flapped its wings gently, and golden dust like phosphorus powder fell on the surface of its wings.

Extremely small.

When each grain of gold falls on the surface of the stone, it is like ink dropping into water, spreading from the landing point to the sides, and the gold color gradually spreads.

After it flapped its wings several times, the entire stone, which was about the size of its head, turned completely golden.

"It really turned into gold?" Kloya immediately went over to check, and found that this ordinary stone really turned into gold!
Although its purity is far not as high as the gold just now, it is still gold after all.

He held the piece of gold and looked at the golden butterfly as if he was looking at a miracle.

Turning stone into gold, this is the real alchemy!

Even in the world of magic, only the most top-level legendary or even god-level magic can achieve this level.

It involves changes in matter, and gold is an extremely stable substance.

And a butterfly did it?
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and found the gold in his hand, he would not have believed it.

"What's the price?"

Kloya looked at the Golden Divine Butterfly and found that its wings seemed to have faded a little. The beautiful wings that were originally flowing with golden light seemed to be covered with a layer of gray shadow, and the flapping movements seemed a little weak.

It's not that the wings have faded, it's its vitality.

This is... using one's own vitality to exchange for the appearance of this gold.

However, even so, this ability is still very exaggerated. If life force can really be exchanged for gold... I don't know how many lords and bigwigs are willing to sacrifice slaves to get gold.

Sometimes life is priceless, and sometimes it is not as valuable as we imagine.

"Perform it again and let me see."

In order to figure out how it cast the spell, Kloya took a tiny stone and placed it in front of it, then stared at it.

As it flapped its wings and scattered phosphorus powder, Kloya keenly noticed that the mark of the goddess of wealth, which had been obscured by the power of the void, trembled slightly.

The mark seemed to absorb something and then released some golden light.

It is these golden lights mixed with the phosphorus powder of the Golden Divine Butterfly that created such a miracle.

"Divine art." He was very sure that this was a divine art of self-sacrifice, sacrificing one's own vitality to the goddess of wealth in exchange for the birth of gold.

The question is why can it be changed like this?
In that story, didn’t its ancestor anger the goddess of wealth and be cursed?

This kind of magic that exchanges vitality for gold will be given to a cursed person?
"..."

"and many more."

He suddenly realized something and his face turned serious.

If these gold-eating worms need to keep searching for gold to sustain their lives, what if they can't find gold?
Or gold was taken away from somewhere.

So is this their only option to exchange their vitality for gold?

If you lose your vitality, you will eventually... die.

If what he thought was true, then this ability was not some kind of divine power, but an obvious curse.

If you don’t have gold, you will die immediately and exchange it for your vitality. If you have gold but can’t eat it, it will be a chronic death.

There is no way to escape death.

"What a horrible method. It gives us hope but we cannot escape despair. Is this the goddess' plan?"

He couldn't help but shook his head: "How did you offend the goddess in the first place to make her target you like this?"

If it was really just because the table and chairs were eaten, that would be too outrageous.

The golden butterfly flapped its wings in confusion and landed obediently on Kloya's shoulder.

After sighing, he calmly thought about whether this ability had any value in being utilized - if he could ensure that it had enough vitality, could it produce gold continuously?
I spend so much energy not just to do good things, I have to find a way to get benefits.

To be honest, it is not difficult to obtain some vitality. In the booklet given to him by Orpheus Oak, there is an ability called natural absorption.

It is to absorb a little vitality from the magic plant and then transfer it to another magic plant.

This method is actually used to give some help to those magical plants that are unable to obtain vitality on their own and are on the verge of death, to see if a miracle can happen after they have vitality.

Of course, it can also be applied to Warcraft.

"Will it be possible to transfer life force through this method?"

He directly ordered the earthworm to ask the dolphin to find a few fish, and then cast Natural Absorption on the fish - magic tentacles like roots extended from his fingertips, pierced directly into the body of the fish, and began to slowly absorb a little bit of green light.

The poor fish's struggles became less intense.

But fortunately, Kloya restrained himself and did not suck it all up.

"Thank you very much."

After the absorption was completed, it was infused with a ball of magic power by Croa and thrown back into the water.

There is no other way but to make up for it in this way.

After this magic power is consumed, it should be able to advance, and the lost vitality can naturally be replenished.

Kloya took the small light green ball in his hand and pressed it into the body of the Golden Divine Butterfly.

As a result, as soon as this vitality was injected into it, it was immediately absorbed by the gold coins of the Goddess of Wealth.

Not only that, it also sucked some of the butterfly's life force.

Obviously this approach doesn't work.

Well, it was a bit disappointing, but it was also within Cloya's expectations.

It cannot be replenished by vitality injected from the outside.

It has to be its own vitality.

If that's the case, then even if Croa imprinted this magic into it, it wouldn't work.

Because it all comes down to external forces.

"vitality……"

He stared at the butterfly, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind -

Let the butterfly and the magic plant combine together, and use the magic plant to supply it with vitality, right?

The vitality of the magic plant is very strong.

The only problem is...

After the magic plant combines with it, does it count as its life force?

Croa thought it was worth a try.
