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

Chapter 155 155. Dragon's True Name, Before Departure (5K)

"A giant dragon actually appeared among the mermaids' things."

It was the first time that Kloya saw a giant dragon with his own eyes. No, judging from its size alone, this dragon could not really be called "giant".

Even a little bit small.

Inside the bottle, it was probably no bigger than his fingernail.

But it's really beautiful.

Its entire body is covered with scales that look like flowing silver light and misty moonlight. The scales are translucent and more like soft moonlight gauze than real wings.

The head connected to the slender snake-like neck is not as ferocious as a dragon, but rather a bit small.

The translucent dragon horns like colored glass are crystal clear, just like the finest jade.

And its tail is the tail of a fish.

"This creature is so beautiful." Kloya stared at it for a while with pure admiration, and then began to observe its astral body.

Unexpectedly, its astral body was completely independent and not an illusion created by the Void Moon Divine Tree.

It even has a name—

"Virtual Moon Illusion Fish Dragon."

"Wait, what's behind this is..."

Croa frowned and read out the name composed of strange characters.

"Lutesia Thelhalon."

When he recited these names, the magical powers around him were obviously turbulent, as if they were being driven by an unknown powerful force.

Flowing from the castle towards the ocean.

But when approaching the sea, he was blocked by a huge figure.

The figure had a crown made of horns, and its body was like a stream of platinum light in the endless sky. After blocking the waves, the clouds and mist swayed.

After doing all this, it really disappeared silently under the dazzling sunlight like a dewdrop in the morning, and left completely.

……

Croa glanced toward the sea in confusion.

"Strange, I always feel like there is a huge consciousness flashing by..."

He squinted his eyes and sensed for a while, but still found nothing, so he could only retract his gaze and look at the little dragon.

At this time, the little dragon had opened its eyes.

The silver-white eyes contained deep blue pupils like snakes, which seemed to penetrate the astral crystal bottle and see Kloya directly.

The man and the dragon looked at each other, and he suddenly had a very strange feeling, as if... they were connected.

"Long's real name?" Kloya frowned slightly.

The Astral Body Imprinting Technique can actually reveal the real name of a dragon. Is this true or not? It is said that with the real name, one can control their magic and life at will.

If he could really see the real name, he couldn't believe how powerful this ability would be.

The silver dragon propped itself up in the sea water, raised its head towards him, and let out a very childish roar.

"Ho~~~"

The waves that were originally surging around it were instantly suppressed by the roar and turned into a calm, mirror-like water surface.

"What a wonderful control of magic power."

"It's the magic of controlling water."

Kloya thought for a moment, projected his spiritual consciousness into the bottle, and came directly in front of the dragon.

As soon as he came in, Kloya instantly realized that this guy was really not that big. It was estimated to be only about three or four meters long. Although it was quite big, it could not be called huge.

"Lucetia?" Croix asked tentatively.

Xiaolong immediately lowered his head in dissatisfaction, butted him with his head, and let out a childish roar.

That roughly means...don't call it that.

"Okay, then how were you born? Was it this tree?" After comforting it, Kloya pointed to the Xuyue Divine Tree in the distance.

Xiaolong nodded, "Ouch!"

It raised its head proudly, and easily stirred up the surrounding sea water, controlling the sea water to form pictures -

There are ones where it stands on the waves and is worshipped by mermaids.

There is also a picture of it snuggling next to a woman whose face cannot be seen clearly.

There is even... an expression in which it is holding down a mermaid and laughing with great pleasure.

With its constant "wooooooo" sounds, Kloya was barely able to figure out what it meant.

It is a dragon that can restrain the mermaids' ability to control water, and can easily snatch away the mermaids' control over the sea water even in the sea.

This immediately made Kloya's eyes light up.

It can restrain the mermaids' ability to control water, and can also suppress the mermaids' magic in the sea water...

Then if he has any conflict with the mermaids in the future, wouldn’t that be a trump card?
With such a strong neighbor like the mermaids, he was actually a little worried that they might do something. Although this little dragon was still small now, what about training it?

"Not bad." He immediately praised: "Then what do you need to grow?"

The little dragon pointed at the sky with his huge claws, or to be more precise, at the hazy moonlight.

"You want to eat moonshine?"

"Ouch!" Xiaolong nodded vigorously.

"..."

Croa himself needs sunlight, and this guy needs moonlight, so it's distributed pretty evenly.

"Okay, I'll get it for you in the evening."

As for moonlight, this thing is not difficult to make. Just pull some over at night.

But he can only get it now. After a few days when dark clouds and snow cover the sky, he can only think about whether he can get it above the clouds.

He then asked some more questions, including who the woman in the picture was, whether it knew what the Xuyue Divine Tree was, and why a giant dragon like it appeared among the mermaids.

In the end, it knows nothing.

When asked these questions, he became confused and cried “Awooo awooo”, meaning that he was too young and the dragon clan’s inheritance had not yet been opened.

Croa had no choice but to give up asking for the time being.

……

After playing with the little dragon for a while, the little dragon yawned, and the surrounding sea water immediately rushed over, as if forming a nest. It shook its claws at Kloya.

Then he went straight in and fell into a deep sleep.

"I heard that young dragons need enough sleep... Hmm, should we ask the Lord of Yanshan? Maybe he knows some experience in raising dragons."

Kloya thought about it, checked the Void Moon Divine Tree, and then left the bottle.

While he was at it, he should teach the knights how to practice thorns first. All the knights had to be replaced.

If there is a mage's meditation method in the future, he will also take it to exchange.

……

He first took out the mother plant of the Thorn of Justice and tried to infuse it with magic power. Sure enough, the latter grew new thorns.

Croa cut off all the thorns, and then processed them one by one, adding his own spiritual imprint to them.

During this process, he did not forget to send the radiant jellyfish into the sea for the sea dolphins to find.

He also used the water that gushed out of the lotus leaves to make ten pieces of armor.

At the same time, he called over the Star Crystal Turtle and used the Star Crystal Ore it created to enchant the surface of these armors.

The transparent water armor has a layer of coating that looks like clear starlight, making it look like the legendary magic armor.

"Not bad, use it as a reward later."

He nodded with satisfaction and looked at the Star Crystal Turtle.

The latter immediately stared at him eagerly.

"Master~~~"

Turtle stretched out his tone. If Cloya hadn't been sitting cross-legged at the moment, it would have definitely run up and hugged his thighs.

Seeing it like this, Kloya thought it was really funny and shook his head helplessly: "Come here."

"Hey!"

The crystal turtle immediately ran over and sat down obediently.

Croa then began to carve it and soon finished it.

[Engraving completed, Astral Crystal Turtle (Earth and Stone Shaping)]

[This monster can use soil and stone to shape into any shape it likes. 】

[The strong desire for the opposite sex makes it continue to optimize this magic. 】

"Thank you for your generosity, Master!!!"

The Crystal Turtle jumped three feet high, and after thanking Cloya, it couldn't wait to leave. Its movements were so agile that it didn't look like a turtle at all.

Croa looked at its back as it left, feeling that this guy might do something, but he didn't care too much.

There’s nothing wrong with liking figures.

He continued to focus on his transformation of Thorn.

In the end, about five hundred copies were made.

The poor mother thorn plant simply pretended to be dead. Even if Cloa infused it with magic power, it was unwilling to grow more thorns.

Obviously, this has reached its limit. However, Cloya is already satisfied with this much.

Because there are only more than 200 knight apprentices at present - knight apprentices are a little easier to be than mage apprentices. After all, they only require physical training and a training method.

It just so happens that the practice method from the Mage Association is the most convenient and fastest, so basically, if there is such a practice method, almost everyone can learn it.

"Take good care of it."

After calming the mother thorn plant, he brought two hundred pieces of thorn to the training ground for the knight apprentices - here, the apprentices had already lined up, waiting for his arrival.

Although Cloya didn't know anything about the special forces training methods, he had read some novels and taught all these methods.

With enough food provided by him, these knight apprentices persisted despite the hardships and fatigue. They even did quite well.

The most important thing among these is of course to enforce discipline.

Knights are considered extraordinary beings and have privileges in this world, which also leads to many knights being arrogant and conceited.

He had heard too many stories like this from Robert, and there were even cases of disobeying orders and violating instructions on the battlefield.

This kind of thing is of course unacceptable to Croa. Personal heroism is absolutely unacceptable. No matter how powerful an army is, it will not work if there are no rules.

In the past, he was too weak to have any intention of affecting such rules, but now that he has the strength, he must follow his rules.

Rules are always made by the powerful.

With a super powerful wizard like him keeping the place in check, do you little knights still dare to call yourselves extraordinary people?
He came to the high platform so that all the knight apprentices could see him.

The sunlight shone on him, and he shone like a god, and the magic power around him changed according to his will.

The apprentices looked at him with admiration and respect.

Many of them are ordinary children from farming families, and it was Cloya who provided them with channels and space for advancement, coupled with continuous brainwashing and indoctrination.

It can be said that their loyalty to Croa is now absolutely full.

Cloya took a quick look around and could feel that the auras of these people were indeed tending to merge into one, but they were still lacking the most important experience of seeing blood.

Maybe someone will die, maybe someone will never come back.

But... this is the beginning of achievement.

He waved his hand, evenly spreading two hundred thorns in front of each person, and then said:

"Cut your arm and put it inside your arm."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two hundred men all cut their arms with daggers in unison and stuffed the thorns into their arms.

This uniform momentum and picture really made Croya feel pleasing to the eye.

Then he played the gopher harp.

The music mixed with his consciousness, infusing the thorn cultivation method into their minds, as if someone was demonstrating how to learn.

At the same time, he also guided the magic power of sunlight that was scattered around and infused it into their bodies as nutrients for the growth of the thorns.

Everyone moved to the sound of his music.

Channel the magic power and control the thorns...

About half an hour later, the four knights who had followed Croa to the island and Semir, who were standing in the front row, suddenly took a step forward, and swords made of thorns grew in their hands.

These thorns have a golden glow that cannot be ignored in their white color.

"Semiel was created by my rock notes, so it's normal for him to learn it. These four people also learned it so quickly." He nodded in his heart.

"good."

Croa praised them, "This is given to you!" He waved his hand and gave them five newly made armors as rewards.

They were quite sensible and put them on right away.

The sun shines on them, and the starlight is still bright, matching their tall stature and majestic aura.

It is an absolute heroic template!

The apprentices' eyes lit up, and what made their blood boil was——

"There are five more. I have only made ten of these Mercury Magic Armors this time. The rest I will give to the person who first learns the Thorn Cultivation Method."

Stimulated by such a sentence, they studied almost desperately, and the thorns seemed to sense something and were helping them.

After a while, the knight apprentice Ryan excitedly raised the Sword of Thorns. There was unconcealable pride and pride on the boy's face, and sweat dripped from his forehead.

There was bound to be some pain in mobilizing the thorns, but he persisted.

"it is good!"

Croa exclaimed, "It's given to you!"

Another piece of armor was reduced, and this time the remaining people worked harder, and soon the seventh, the eighth... until the tenth appeared.

What made Croix happy was that there were two female knight apprentices inside.

He never deliberately distinguished between genders. When he was selecting mage apprentices and knight apprentices, it was open to everyone.

As long as you want and are willing to work hard, he will treat you equally and welcome you.

In the end, more than 30 girls successfully entered the knight training camp for study. Their training programs and treatment were basically the same as those of men.

He felt that this was the only way to not look down on them. Any other preferential treatment or reduction in training would be a manifestation of distrust of them.

As women, they have much less room and channels for advancement than men, and it is difficult to provide them with such opportunities.

They seized these opportunities madly and trained very hard.

This is a problem of the world environment. Even Croa can only barely treat everyone equally in the territory he manages.

The result did not disappoint him.

They did a very good job. Even Robert and several knight instructors praised these female apprentices to Cloya in private.

"Well done, here you go."

Croa threw two pieces of Mercury armor over.

"Thank you Lord Lord!"

The two female apprentices also followed the example of the people in front of them and went straight outside, standing in the front row with them, enjoying the envious and admiring gazes of the crowd.

Next, he waited patiently for a while, and an hour later, the last person finally condensed the magic sword of thorns.

His slow pace immediately made many apprentices feel anxious.

Since Cloya had always emphasized that they were a team and no one could be left behind, they decided to teach this guy a lesson in the evening.

To be honest, their speed is not actually slow.

Of course, this was done by Cloya using the gopher harp to help them sort out their magic, which accelerated their learning process.

Whether they can obtain resources and continue to practice to a higher level depends on themselves.

After making sure that everyone had learned it, Cloya nodded with satisfaction and said loudly, "You have three days to master it. After three days... I will let you go out of the island for training.

Train with the mage apprentices.

During these three days, you need to work together with them.

I hope that when you come back, there won’t be anyone missing and no one will be left sleeping outside forever.”

The apprentices were not surprised or cheering, but only shouted in unison, deafeningly -

"Yes!"

It's simple, but completely sufficient.

Croa waved and left.

After he left, four instructors walked to the bottom of the platform and gave these guys some scolding and earnest advice.

Maybe at the beginning they were just fulfilling Cloya's orders, but as time went by, they did develop feelings for these children.

Of course, we don’t want them to die outside.

Coming from the capital, and having followed Croa all the way here, they definitely have enough experience.

Of course, the apprentices listened carefully to the instructors' experiences and lessons, and the fire in their hearts burned brighter and brighter, like a little sun.

……

Time flies by.

Soon it was three days later.

Under the morning sun, the mage apprentice, the knight apprentice, and Baron Kemoye all left the Reef Island.

They will cross the ocean directly to the outside world through the roads constructed by the sea dolphins on the sea surface.

Although there are only a few hundred people, it is still a huge group.

After they left, Hanjiao Island became noticeably quieter.

In the castle.

Croa sat in his seat, looking at the huge surveillance array in front of him.

He did not send these apprentices away because he had already placed mushroom people as cameras on each captain and had also prepared emergency measures.

Everything they saw would be broadcast back to them by another mushroom-man, and all Kloya had to do was sit at home and watch TV.

There is no other way around this. After all, their mental strength is not enough, so they can only use the mushroom people as a transit station.

The wizard watched them leave, still feeling a little expectant.

When I came here, I was in a hurry and had no time or energy to see more of the world. Now I can finally see more.

What kind of scenery will there be?
