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

Chapter 164 164. Sunflower's Faith, Two Mineral Veins

“It’s really pretty.”

Although this thing was indeed beautiful enough to make Cloya feel dazed and willing to sink into it to take a closer look, the prerequisite was that he was willing.

When he wanted to wake up, not even the evolved Narcissus could stop him for even a second.

However, after a brief fascination, he also learned the use of this plant called "Nasissus Seeking Beauty" - spiritual magic.

It possesses extremely powerful mental magic, and according to Cloya's estimation, it should be able to affect a fourth-level wizard.

Those who are affected will be seduced by its beauty. If they cannot break free, they will naturally sink into it. If their mental strength is really unable to leave...then they will probably die in the beauty.

This is actually a very powerful force. If used well, one plant can be equivalent to many people.

However, this is only limited to this "transformed form". If it were to return to its original state, its appearance would be greatly reduced and even a bit funny.

"How long can you last?"

He stared at the daffodils that were happily swinging around, as if showing off their beauty, and called the Star Crystal Turtle to translate for him:

"Why did you become like this? And why is there so much magic power in your body?"

The magic power in this guy's body has far exceeded what a third-level magic plant should have, which is obviously very abnormal.

"Okay, I'll ask now."

The Crystal Turtle danced towards the rainbow-colored daffodils. No one knew how they communicated, but the communication was completed anyway.

Anyway, he replied to Croa, “Master, it said that it can last about ten minutes in transformation.

Its power comes from a powerful magic device in the small plane where it lives. It grew to this size with the help of the magic device."

"Small dimension...it seems that Teacher Estner is also extraordinary." Kloya nodded.

"Can have a small plane."

To be honest, he really wanted to own a small plane where he could plant and raise his favorite magical plants and beasts.

A small plane that can be controlled by a wizard can become the god of the small plane as long as you are willing to invest enough energy and time.

"Strange..." I have no memory of Mentor Estner.

He tried to recall but found nothing.

He actually had no idea who Estner's mentor was. This seemed to have always been a secret. The other party didn't say it actively, and the original owner didn't ask.

This is indeed a very strange thing.

The original owner was quite sociable and had chatted with many people, but he had never heard from any channel who Estner's teacher was. He only knew that he was a great wizard.

I didn’t think much of it before, but now that I think about it, he must have a very high status, otherwise this situation wouldn’t have occurred.

He thought about it and didn't care too much about it. He thought that he would have the chance to see her once his strength improved.

The other party gave him such a big gift, it is reasonable for him to give something in return.

"Go and play. After you transform back, go into the magic pool."

After telling the daffodil, which could now run and jump, to run around the upper floors of the castle and not to cast mental magic on anyone, he left it alone.

This thing is really useful, and he plans to... give Stein's mentor a big surprise.

Since the other party looked down on his farming, he used magic plants to attack the other party.

It's a good opportunity to use a fourth-level magician to test whether his magic plant tactics can be successful.

Anyway, Estner's mentor has already spoken, so there is no need to worry about the reaction of the Mage Association. As long as the other party comes to Hanjiao Island, they will be crushed by him.

……

After watching Narcissus leave, Kloya glanced at the crystal on the back of the Astral Crystal Turtle and said, "Can you think of a way to connect the tower spirit to the bottle?"

"How do you shape your crystal?"

The structure of this star crystal is extremely stable. He had tried it more than once before, but always failed.

The stable structure meant that magic was difficult to take effect, and even the shape of the crystal bottle could not be changed. What he was using now were still the remains from the previous secret chamber.

I didn’t ask much about things I didn’t use before, but now that I need to use them, I must ask clearly.

Upon hearing this, the Star Crystal Turtle immediately shook the crystal on its back, and a piece of it fell off with a "click".

It picked up the crystal with its claws and placed it in front of Kloya before answering, "Master, you have been using the wrong method. Astral crystals must be shaped with mental power."

"Spiritual power?" Kloya was stunned.

This... he had never thought of it before. He had tried it with magic power before, because magic crystals need to be infused with magic power to make them change.

So this thing actually requires mental strength?
Suddenly going against the routine, no wonder he hasn't figured out how to deal with it.

“Yes, you need to use your own mental power as magic power to permeate the entire crystal, so that you can transform the crystal’s form.

You can make a tube and connect it to the crystal bottle so that the Shark Tower Spirit can get in." Crystal Turtle added.

"Let me try."

Kloya extended his mental power and headed towards the Astral Crystal.

His mental power was like an orange stream of water, which quickly enveloped the palm-sized astral crystal.

Strands of spiritual power seeped into the crystal, gradually permeating it completely.

Sure enough, just as the Crystal Turtle said, changes really happened.

It gradually melted and flowed like liquid under the embrace of spiritual power. At first glance, it looked like flowing starlight, clear and mysterious.

"Master! You need to shape it quickly." The Star Crystal Turtle reminded hurriedly: "After the first change, it will be fixed very quickly."

"Ah."

Wrapped in both Kloya's mental and magical powers, the astral crystal liquid flew towards the tower spirit cultivation pool, and in mid-air, it gradually transformed into a curved pipe and a funnel-shaped cover according to Kloya's thoughts.

Although it is very thin and will probably break if touched, this is in a laboratory after all, so this will not happen.

He will reinforce it later.

The cover slowly fell down, covering the tower spirit cultivation pool. At the same time, the pipe extended to the star crystal bottle where the Xuyue Divine Tree was placed, and slowly connected with the bottle mouth.

Now it is halfway done. Next, we just need to open the Star Realm Crystal Bottle that holds the Void Moon Divine Tree and we can connect them.

However, in order to prevent the things inside from escaping, Kloya still made an inlet and outlet valve on the Shark Tower Spirit.

When it swims over, the valve opens, and when it leaves, it closes.

Once the valve is made, it is considered complete.

The shark seemed to know that something interesting was going to happen, and it swam towards that direction impatiently along the pipe.

In theory, tower spirits should be able to roam and appear freely in any place in the magic tower. This is the basis for them to help mages take care of the magic tower.

Now it can leave the culture pool temporarily, but it cannot leave for too long.

"If you want to be obedient, you have to go back in half an hour at most."

After Cloya gave these instructions, he let it stuff its huge body into the small pipe and then enter the Star Crystal Bottle through the pipe.

Just like a fish entering the sea, as soon as it entered, it swam happily in the ocean blessed by magic and moonlight.

The little silver dragon discovered this new friend, swam over curiously, and cried “Aoaoao” to it a few times.

Of course sharks don’t have vocal organs, but that’s an ordinary shark, what does it have to do with my shark tarantula?
It soon also made an "owing" sound through the vibration of magic power.

The fish and the dragon were like children chatting, swimming in the ocean while shouting and chasing each other, and soon other fish joined in.

These guys are all very smart. They feel the spiritual power left by Kloya on the shark. They all know that it was raised by Kloya and are very friendly to it.

When has Shark Taling ever seen so many friends?

I was so happy that I wanted to fly and play with them in the sea.

However, it still remembered the half-hour time, and after playing for half an hour, it obediently returned to the cultivation pool.

Kloya had been paying attention to it during this period, and only nodded in satisfaction when he saw this scene, just be obedient. He looked at the shark tower spirit and suddenly felt that the other party's body seemed to be much more solid. It was originally translucent, but now it looked more and more like a real shark.

"Is it the effect of this ocean?" Kloya thought that this should be the case. After all, it was a mermaid's thing, and mermaids were the overlords in the sea.

Their stuff has some magical power, so it makes sense that it would be effective on shark spires, which are also marine creatures.

"It seems like I'll have to let you go there more often in the future."

He decided to give the Talling shark half an hour of fresh air every day, and when it grows up and can leave the pond, he will let it play freely.

Anyway, as long as you don’t fall behind in what you should learn, it doesn’t matter if you go out for fun.

……

After the Shark Tower Spirit issue was resolved, Kloya returned to his sofa, lying lazily, and said boredly:

"Show me the situation over there, Sunflower."

"Ok."

The screen immediately changed——

I saw the sunflower elf and the clock golem directing the serfs to plant the sunflower seeds one by one. Three thousand sunflower seeds were enough to plant the entire area around the castle.

The servants' attitude toward the sunflower elves seemed to be not just respect, but also worship and... faith.

This is because the sunflower elf usually hangs around in the sunflower field when it has nothing to do. If it sees someone or something that makes it happy, it will give the person a sunflower seed.

It was very generous and stingy, and all it gave were some sunflower seeds that looked malnourished and had very little magic power.

But this kind of magic power is not particularly sufficient, so it is just right for the servants to eat.

If there is too much magic power in it, eating it will probably make you too weak to be replenished.

After living by the sea for a long time, going out to sea to fish, and staying in a damp and cold environment for a long time, the farm servants more or less have some diseases such as rheumatism and arthritis.

Of course, they had no money to buy medicine or ask priests to perform healing spells, so they could only endure it.

But after swallowing the sunflower seeds, the pure magic of the sun will gradually dispel their ailments.

When a person has been suffering from a certain disease for a long time and it is suddenly cured... he will naturally develop great trust and dependence on the person who solved his problem.

That's what the Sunflower Fairy is like now.

It even began to absorb faith, and Cloea did not stop it.

I don't need faith, but it's not impossible for the sunflower elf to absorb a little power of faith.

"Just see what changes the power of faith will have on you."

After taking a few glances, he looked away and began to observe the white cloud sunflowers.

At this time, they have been planted on a high slope surrounded by sunflowers, emitting white mist facing the sun.

The fog has covered an area of ​​about one kilometer in radius.

The white mist rolled and flowed like clouds, absorbing the magic of the sun and soon turned golden.

It was not until this moment that Kloya understood the meaning of "light is the sparkling air". It was really sparkling and made people unable to take their eyes away.

"It's really beautiful when it spreads out. If there are more of them, won't the whole island be covered in them?"

He admired it for a while, and when he felt he had seen enough, he asked King Mu Yao Qu Teng:

"Is there anything else interesting? How is the situation with the mushroom people?"

As soon as he asked the question, King Mu Yao Qu Teng immediately cut off the screen.

"Look at this."

"Hmm? Let me see." Kloya looked at the screen curiously.

That was... a scene of exploration by a team led by a female apprentice.

They now came to a very strange place - a sea, but a white sea.

Snowflakes were floating in the sky, snow was piling up on the ground, and the sea, which should not have frozen, was covered with a layer of white.

Everything I saw, everything I looked at... was white, and even my eyes felt a little stinging and uncomfortable.

“That’s seaweed.”

Kloya's eyesight was pretty good, and he saw that the densely packed and wriggling seaweed on the sea surface was seaweed. And the appearance seemed to be somewhat similar to the fluorescent seaweed.

"Could it be the same species as the fluorescent algae in the thirsty sea?"

Cloya immediately became interested. He had been looking for similar species of the thirsty sea fluorescent algae for some time, but had never been able to find any.

He even looked in the sea but didn't find any clues. Could it be here?
He glanced at the map beside him and found that the team was only 20 kilometers away from Hanjiao Island, which was very close.

"Is there something underneath?"

Judging from the previous discovery of fluorescent algae in the Thirst Sea, with so many algae gathering together, there may be something even more wrong beneath this seemingly abnormal sea.

He hesitated and did not pass the message through the mushroom man.

Because in the picture, there are people walking towards the beach to explore.

Kloya once clearly stated that if any treasure is found outside, there will be rewards after bringing it back, and the entire team will receive rewards.

Although doing so may cause some team members to aggressively seek treasures, it can also give them more courage to take risks, which has both good and bad effects.

Although they don't know what these strange algae are - the color of Kloya's thirsty sea fluorescent algae is very different from these algae, and he can only see that they are the same species because of his good eyesight - but they are brave enough to take risks and explore.

Naturally, you will be rewarded.

For example, now, when they walked through the snow to the beach and pushed aside the white seaweed, they suddenly discovered that on the bottom of the sea...

There are shiny crystals!
They flashed with a blue halo that represented pure magic power, mixed with some white, like special crystals that were frozen.

Everyone who saw this scene immediately knew what it was—

Magic crystal!

There should be magic crystal ore underneath!
Kloya, who also saw this scene through the eyes of the mushroom people, suddenly felt warm in his heart. Although he now relied on the volcanoes and big-mouthed magic flowers on the seabed, he also had a source of magic power.

But how can it be as real as magic crystal ore?
Magic crystals are the universal currency for mages. They are much more dazzling than gold mines. Even he couldn't help but feel excited.

More importantly, this magic crystal mine can actually be directly exposed to the sea water. Does it mean that the magic power below has accumulated to the point of erupting?
If this is true, this must be a medium-sized magic crystal mine. Even a small one would not have such a huge number.

And what are those white crystals?
His mind turned, he took a deep breath to calm down, and told the mushroom man: "Make sure to bring back all these magic crystals, white ore and thirsty sea fluorescent algae!"

"I have a reward!"

The wizard's order was immediately spoken through the mushroom man's mouth.

The apprentices who were exploring were immediately overjoyed. This was Croa's reward. I wonder what reward he would give them?
Lina, the team leader, couldn't help but get excited.

Magic crystal ore. If we can bring back all the magic crystal ore intact, we will definitely be able to beat other teams, right?
Her desire to win is quite strong.

So she immediately ordered: "Magicians, make an ice cart and take out your belongings. Tara Jon and I will go and fish them out together. Let's take these things back quickly!"

After saying that, she dived into the water without hesitation to salvage the magic crystals and white ore scattered on the seabed - when salvaging the latter, she was very careful not to touch them with her hands.

The unknown mineral carries unknown magical power. Once touched by hand, something might happen. This is what Kloya had taught them a long time ago.

Seeing her jump like this, several other apprentices followed suit. The cold sea water could not dampen their burning hearts.

And so they started working enthusiastically.

After digging and carrying for a while, when they had collected the scattered magic crystals and tried to dig the sand on the seabed.

More magic crystals appeared below! They were looming in the sand, and there were obviously quite a lot of them.

And... there is also a magic vein that is constantly gushing out pure magic power in liquid form.

The apprentices were stunned, their hearts pounding.
