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

Chapter 153: Baron's Surrender, Thorn Cultivation Method (153K)

The two Holy Light Four-Leaf Clovers were filled up again.

Fortunately, this time they have the light emitted by the mushrooms to supply them with power, so they will not be on the verge of withering like last time.

"We can make use of these spring waters. If we can't raise marine fish, it would be nice to raise some freshwater fish."

He gently touched the two holy four-leaf clovers, wondering how to use the spring water inside.

It is definitely not okay not to use it, that would be a waste.

If necessary, he planned to see if he could build a building somewhere to fix the fog, and then dig a passage directly to the seabed so that the sea dolphins and other fish could come to the shore at any time to help him.

Another option is to raise freshwater fish, and perhaps some marine magical plants...all of these need to be tested to see if they work.

After a while, he glanced at the lotus leaves and found that the water flowing from them had changed from azure blue to a very pure stream.

It also exudes a strange fragrance and white steam, and it is actually hot.

"What kind of water is this?" He took a little with the wizard's hand, put it in front of his eyes to observe, and sniffed it with his nose.

The smell is quite fragrant, but the magic power in it doesn't seem to be sufficient, and I didn't detect any special magic.

It looks like a normal scented hot spring water.

"This is also a conversion of faith after all, it can't be that simple."

"Well, it shouldn't be poisonous."

He withdrew the wizard's hand and gently touched the gurgling spring water with his own fingers.

"Ok?"

The feeling when my fingers touched it... was a bit sticky, like glue, and it was more like kneading plasticine or crystal clay.

As he injected a little magic power, the spring water became more and more "hard".

"This is what happens when I inject magic power. What if I inject a little more?" He tried to inject more magic power.

The crimson magic power gradually filled the small water ball, and its structure became more stable and solid because of the filling of magic power.

In the end, it turned into a hard water ball.

When thrown to the ground, it even makes the sound of a heavy object falling. If you didn't say it was a water ball, you would think it was an iron ball in disguise.

Cloya hit it a few times as if it were a basketball and immediately felt it was very strange. Could this thing really become solid?
He wanted to ask the angel, but the angel had already used its wings as a blanket to cover its body and was sleeping soundly.

Disturbing people's sleep is obviously not a good thing, and he can only figure out the function of this thing by himself.

"Since you are so strong, can you withstand attacks from magic and weapons?"

He took a ball of spring water, made it into a long piece about 2 cm long, then took out a long sword and stabbed it.

This sword is made of holy white iron and has been tempered and sharpened with magic. In a sense, it can be considered a half-magic weapon.

If it was used to pierce the common armor, it would just be a matter of applying force, but it couldn't move forward at all when piercing this.

It's like using it to pierce a thick steel plate, there is absolutely no tendency to penetrate it.

"Is it so strong?"

Kloya exerted force with his fingers and cast a giant strength spell on himself. Now he was strong enough to lift tons of objects with his bare hands.

result--

"Crack!"

The poor sword collapsed under his weight, broke into pieces, and flew out, almost stabbing the Kabamon that were grazing peacefully nearby.

"Not bad, but what about magic?"

His eyes lit up and he tried throwing a few more fireballs. These fireballs had no special additives and were just ordinary fireballs.

It was very ordinary for him, but if it were placed outside, it would be a fireball that could only be cast by a magician above level five.

One, two...

The fireball hit the water board. At first it could still withstand it, but when it hit the third one, it finally couldn't withstand it anymore. The water instantly disintegrated and was evaporated by the flames.

It is not easy to last three fireballs.

"This can be used as armor. It's light, but strong..."

Kloya nodded, collected all the spring water, took the four-leaf clover, bamboo and gopher harp, and left quickly.

As for the lotus leaf, let it stay here.

He quickly left the lake, stood on the ground, and looked up at the sky.

The bright sunshine is shining freely, but the surrounding dark clouds have shown signs of gradually gathering here. It is estimated that it will not be long before the sky will continue to be covered by dark clouds.

There is no way around it. After all, the magic power in the Gopher wood has been almost consumed. It is unlikely to replicate it again, and it would be too conspicuous.

He walked slowly, and the bamboo beside him jumped and followed him. It had been a long time since he had walked in the sunshine like this.

The ground was very clean, thanks to the fact that he had been asking the servants to clear the snow, so even now that the sun was out, there was not much water.

It's a pleasant walk and you can enjoy the sunshine.

Sunshine is the source of his magic power. Hanjiao Island has been blocked by the sunlight for a long time. Now the magic power is abundant in the sunlight that suddenly shines down.

What's more, he can now absorb three kinds of magic power!

The magic of sunlight poured into his body almost every second, even causing the sunlight to distort, as if countless rays of sunlight were actively rushing towards him and converging into his body.

The sunlight surrounded him, shining brightly.

Because he wanted to enjoy the sunshine, he simply walked over.

First solve the Baron's problem, then engrave a mark on the Star Crystal Turtle, and finally go check on the conditions of those prisoners.

It's time to let the apprentices go out and gain some experience.

……

After walking slowly for a while, he met some serfs.

These people were happily picking up the fish on the ground that had not yet returned to the sea. When they saw him, the smiles on their faces disappeared and they quickly knelt down respectfully.

"Master Mage!"

Their expressions were somewhat apprehensive.

Logically speaking, these fish should belong to Croa.

"Not a bad harvest." He did not make things difficult for these serfs. Since being able to pick up fish was considered luck, he would not make things difficult for them because of such a small matter.

He glanced at the fish they had picked up and suddenly noticed a jar in the hands of a little girl, which contained a strange jellyfish.

The jellyfish floated quietly in the water of the jar. Under the sunlight, it turned into an orange-red color, full of vitality.

'Radiant jellyfish.'

Kloya habitually glanced at its astral body, but was surprised to find that its astral body was unusually simple.

The astral body of this thing doesn't even have a fixed location. It floats inside the body of the jellyfish, emitting an extremely simple consciousness.

"So comfortable."

"Sunlight."

“I really want to bask in the sun like this forever.”

It is quite rare to see jellyfish wanting to bask in the sun.

Um...wait.

This thing is actually a level three monster?
Kloya, who had not taken it seriously at first, was surprised that a level 3 monster was captured by an ordinary person. This thing should be renamed as salted fish jellyfish.

During this moment of distraction, the jellyfish seemed to sense something and flew out of the bucket, with air gushing out from its tentacles.

"Whoosh-"

It flew straight towards Kroa, then lay on his body, curled up into a ball, and began to absorb the surrounding sunlight.

The sunlight entered its body and gradually filled it up.

It soon turned into a golden ball, emitting a halo, and even looked a little sacred.

This is different from the sunflower and the big-mouthed magic flower. This thing directly stores the sunlight into it, including all the magic power contained in the sunlight.

It's not like the previous two which simply absorb magic power.

"A natural magic storage beast?" Kloya took a glance.

Suddenly I thought that if I could find more of these jellyfish, I could send them to where the sun is, absorb their magic power, and then bring them back.

I don’t know how long this snowstorm will last. I can’t not practice during this period. If I could get more sunlight, I could store it and use it at any time.

After thinking it over, Cloya said to the little girl:
"This jellyfish seems to like me very much. I'll take it away. If you want something else, I can give it to you."

He is not a bad person who would not snatch someone else's child's pet. Besides, he is in a good mood at the moment.

The little girl looked at Cloya timidly, and her parents' eyes lit up, but they did not force her to make any requests.

"grown ups……"

She mustered up the courage to speak: "If you want to keep it, can I help you take care of it? I will take it out to bask in the sun every day."

"Oh." Cloya raised the corners of his mouth: "Okay, go find Elena. If you can learn something, I will let you take care of them." It was a very simple promise.

Anyway, there are people willing to come and work, and he would be happy to do so.

If this little girl could really learn something, he wouldn't mind letting her help him manage the upcoming jellyfish group.

After saying this, he continued to walk away.

The little girl's parents hugged their child and cried and laughed - this was the lord's promise. It was a promise from the lord...

They were almost going crazy with joy.

……

Since Cloya was walking and strolling, it took him half an hour to arrive at the Lotus Hotel.

He walked straight to the front of the Baron's room.

The baron's men were resting against the wall outside the room. When they saw him coming, they quickly stood up and opened the door.

"Master Mage, please come in!"

These people should have received instructions from the Baron to submit to Croa, so they were more respectful to Croa than to the Baron.

But Cloya always felt weird.

This is my territory, why is he treated like a guest?

He glanced at the people with bloodshot eyes who were obviously sleep deprived, shook his head and said, "You should go and get some rest. It's absolutely safe here."

Since the Baron is basically his man, these loyal subordinates are also his men, so he cannot let them endure it too long and cause physical damage.

After saying that, he used magic to push the door open, walked in leisurely, and then did not forget to close the door.

After looking at each other, the people outside went to rest obediently - the Baron had said before that they had to listen to Cloya in everything.

Besides, they were indeed too tired.

Cloya, who had already entered the room, felt the people outside leave, nodded with satisfaction, and looked at the baron.

The Baron sat on the bed. The severe pain made it impossible for him to fall asleep. The thorns were still growing in his flesh and blood. It was a very painful feeling.

"Master Mage..."

Baron Kemoyer opened his eyes with difficulty. Even a man of iron could not bear such pain. There was a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Croa walked over and said seriously: "I can help you, but if you accept my magic, you will never be able to escape."

He asked one last time: "Are you really ready to surrender to me?"

His answer was a crisp, clear sentence: "I'm ready."

Since the Baron couldn't sleep, his men told him everything that had just happened, including the sunlight, the sea fog, and the schools of fish.

Now he was in absolute awe of Croa.

People always admire the strong, especially those like him who want to work hard to climb up. Joining Croa is a good choice. If he hesitates, he may not be sure whether Croa will want him in the future.

"it is good."

Cloya nodded, took out the gopher harp, and gently plucked the golden string.

"!"

Clear and elegant music sounded.

The golden sunlight flowed along with the music, and strands of it surrounded the baron's body. Each note of music corresponded to a thorn.

The music seemed to come from ancient times. Although it was clear and elegant, it also had an unchanging meaning.

That special golden note emerged from his magic power, sprinkling golden dust around the baron, making it look like an elf bestowing a blessing.

"..."

The Baron looked at the musical note with a dazed expression, and had a very familiar feeling.

As the magic power continued to surge out, even the white thorn magic could not resist the magic from the "Eternal Hymn".

It was soon dyed golden.

But Cloya could feel that they were only temporarily turning golden for a moment, and they were still gradually eroding the golden magic power.

It is certainly not easy for a creature that comes from the power of the God of Order to be assimilated.

Fortunately, he had no intention of using his magic power to transform these thorns. He suppressed them while communicating with them with his consciousness.

"obedient!"

"obey!"

His consciousness was more domineering than ever before, and along with the magic power that represented eternity, it forcefully suppressed these overly cheerful thorns.

To be honest, he really couldn't understand it. They were clearly creations of the power of the God of Order, so why were these Thorns of Justice so jumpy, like a group of naughty children.

Moreover, they are different from those obtained before. Although the names are the same, the consciousness and magic power in the astral bodies are completely different.

They are now helping the Baron to gather strength regardless of the consequences, but they are ignoring whether the Baron can bear it.

Although these thorns will wither after seven days, all the strength in the baron's body will disappear with them.

I endured the pain, but the thorns were gone...it really wasn't worth it.

So what Cloya has to do now is to prevent them from disappearing and suppress them so that they will be obedient.

He thought to himself: "Is it because these things are like this that they need the power of order to suppress them?"

He thinks this possibility is quite high.

It seems reasonable to use order to suppress these naughty thorns.

After about five or six minutes, the naughty thorns finally obeyed Cloya's orders and sent out their thoughts:

"We'll be obedient!"

"Don't come again!"

Croa suddenly felt like he was bullying a child, these thorns had such a pitiful consciousness.

The thorns began to shrink spontaneously, and stayed obediently around the baron's blood vessels and veins, no longer desperately absorbing strength, nor drilling around.

Logically speaking, it should be completed at this point.

However, in order to avoid any accidents, Kloya chose to engrave a magic on them.

The golden musical note was deeply engraved in the center of all the thorn star spirits, providing them with magic power to prevent them from disappearing and restricting their movement.

And it has one most important function... It is a mark made up of Croa's magic power, and it can be detonated at any time as long as Croa wants.

It can be said that now even if someone wants to use these thorns of justice to do bad things, they have to bypass Croix's golden magic first.

That's not an easy thing to do.

The quality of the golden magic is so high that even divine power cannot break it.

The things he once worried about no longer seemed threatening.

[Marking completed, the Thorns of Justice (the spiritual consciousness of Eternal Croa)]

【This demonic plant will not disappear. 】

[This demon plant will completely obey the commands of the host, and will take the initiative to rescue the host when the host loses consciousness.]

After completing the engraving, the baron stood up and took off all the silver armor on his body. He looked at his body in surprise.

The wheat-colored muscles looked very strong and flawless, without any of the strangeness of being covered with thorns before, and there was not even a scar left.

"Are they really obedient?"

The Baron tried to summon the Thorn Sword, and this time it was very easy. The magic power of the thorns gathered in his palm and formed a long sword.

There was absolutely no pain felt during this period.

After swinging his sword a few times, he knelt down on one knee in front of Croa excitedly: "Sir, thank you Master Mage for helping me!"

"I will now tell you what my ancestors taught me!"

"How are you going to tell me?"

When Cloya was wondering, he saw a thorn growing on the baron's forehead and then falling off after it grew out.

The baron held the thorn and presented it to Croa: "It's all in there, you just have to read it!"

"Oh?" Kloya blinked, took the thorn, and tried to sense it with his mental power. Immediately, a method of practicing fighting spirit using the thorn of justice as magic power appeared in his mind.

At the same time, there is also a set of sword skills and magic that summons the Sword of Thorns.

After he finished reading it, he couldn't help but be surprised by this inheritance, because the upper limit of this... actually has no upper limit, as long as you keep cultivating it, you can keep being promoted.

Croix immediately decided to let the knight apprentices learn this method of practicing fighting spirit, and it just so happened that he also had the mother plant of the Thorn of Justice.

This thing is much better than the fighting spirit cultivation method given by the Mage Association, both in terms of combat effectiveness and upper limit.

Only this level of training method can ensure that his subordinates can keep up with his pace and will not become useless people who are unable to assist him.
