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

Chapter 17 17. Burning Sunflower
The construction of the Seven Stars Divine Law Array was not as easy as Cloya had imagined. Even though it was written very clearly on the parchment, it was still extremely difficult for him.

The most troublesome point is the magic network of the magic circle.

According to the parchment:

After the magic circle is drawn, it needs to be activated with magic power in one go. There cannot be any pause or hesitation during the process, otherwise the runaway magic power will destroy the already drawn magic circle.

It is a huge test for the total amount of magic power and mental strength.

This is an insurmountable gap for Kloya, a first-level mage, and even the Thirsty Sea Fluorescent Algae is not enough to use as a power bank.

The mental strength is enough, but there is nothing I can do if the magic power is not enough.

He was at a loss as he was clearly confident of the solution, but he could only build the rough framework and was stuck at this step.

It's so painful.

"Even so, I still have a special meditation method, which is different from that of ordinary mages. If I didn't have the Scarlet Song Meditation Method, wouldn't it be more troublesome?" Kroya frowned.

According to his speculation, he had to be at least a level 2 wizard, and with the enhancement of the Scarlet Song, he could barely reach the sufficient magic power requirement.

It would take about five or six days for him to accumulate his magic power. He should have reached that point by now. Unfortunately, he had been immersed in the laboratory these days, reducing the number and time of meditation, which was why he was stuck here.

After thinking about this, he felt relieved.

It’s not that I don’t want to do it, but I really can’t do it for the time being!

So he decided to give himself a vacation - he had been staying in the castle for a full half month since the mermaid came.

Apart from running between the laboratory and the bedroom every day, it is very important to relax properly.

Let’s talk about it after I advance to the second-level mage.

So he stretched and put down the magic paintbrush in his hand.

"Let's go out for a walk."

He chose to give himself a day off and did not bring his staff with him. After leaving the laboratory, he first came to the sunflower field on the top of the castle.

I haven't watched it for half a month, I wonder how Sunflower is doing.

After half a month of growth, the size of the sunflower has not changed much, but the golden halo inside the seeds has become brighter.

It's completely different from the very beginning.

It has gradually filled the entire sunflower seed.

Chloe suddenly became eager and licked his lips.

"Is there any change in the taste? Let me try it..."

He couldn't help but plucked another one and cracked it open. This time, the Yangyan magic power inside poured into his mouth.

The magic power is much more abundant than before.

"Now that we have magic power, we should think about how to use it, right?"

He stared at the sunflower and cast a small spell called "Magic Drain", which was basically what mages used on things like magic crystals to quickly replenish magic power.

The azure magic tentacles immediately wrapped around the sunflower, penetrated the crystal clear shell, and grabbed the golden magic inside.

Then, it sucked the magic power inside like a straw, and the tentacles transferred the magic power back and injected it into Cloya's body.

It does seem like there is a bit of sanity.

There's no way around it. Sometimes the wizard's spells give people the feeling of being hysterical, and some spells are even more weird.

For example, absorbing magic power gave Croa a very refreshing feeling, even more refreshing than eating sunflower seeds directly.

He was addicted to the wonderful feeling of magic power being injected directly into his body and rushing through his blood vessels - so much so that he almost sucked the sunflower dry by accident.

When he finally reacted, the sunflower had already wilted, its originally red petals had lost their luster, and the sunflower seeds had become as crystal clear as crystal.

All the Yangyan magic power inside was sucked away by him.

“…” He quickly dispersed his magic tentacles.

No wonder the Mage Association says that this kind of spell requires a mage with extremely strong willpower to control, otherwise he may become addicted to magic.

It really is so.

Even Croa was briefly mesmerized by it.

If it were any wizard who had never experienced good magic, it would be like a pervert meeting a beautiful woman.

"Hey, wait."

"If I can absorb it through this method, can I use this method to infuse magic power into magic plants?"

Out of curiosity, he used his magic tentacles again, and this time he poured his own red magic power into the sunflower.

In theory, red magic is also magic that absorbs sunlight.

There shouldn't be any adverse reactions.

As a result, no adverse reaction occurred. Instead, the sunflower was excited. Its disc trembled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it felt joy and desire for this red magic.

Croix looked at it like this and just let it go.

Anyway, the magic power required for a sunflower is not much, so he can still afford it.

however,
After absorbing enough magic power, the sunflower suddenly caught fire, and it really turned into a torch from the flower disk to the trunk.

The blazing red flames made Kroya take a few steps back and look at it speechlessly.

"You, spontaneously combusted with just this little bit of magic power?"

At this moment, Croa was very regretful. If he had known earlier, he would not have conducted the test in this way. He only had twelve sunflowers in total!
Just like that, one tree died.

He felt very bitter in his heart, and he also had to be careful not to let his flame affect other sunflowers.

But after it burned into ashes, Kloya unexpectedly saw a seed that looked like a ruby ​​in the ashes.

It lay quietly in the ashes, flickering a crimson glow, looking like a priceless fire spirit ruby.

Inside it, Kloya felt a very special vitality and magical fluctuations that were exactly the same as his own magic.

"Brand new magic plant seeds?"

"Why didn't it work?"

He took the seed in his hand and examined it carefully, but the Astral Body Imprinting Technique did not give any indication that it could be imprinted - however, this did not affect his ability to activate the Astral Body Imprinting Technique.

Under the influence of the Astral Body Observation Technique, the situation inside the seed was completely revealed to Kloya.

The red silk thread wrapped around the sunflower has turned bright red, and the inside of the sunflower is filled with translucent red magic patterns, which look somewhat similar to... tentacles.

"Has it mutated? No, how could it suddenly mutate like this?"

"Is it the effect of my special magic?"

Puzzled, Croa suppressed his urge to continue transforming the sunflower and chose to plant the seed in the soil.

I have no idea what the specific situation is now.

Only when it grows fully can we understand what is going on.

"I hope the mutation doesn't become too troublesome."

After planting the sunflowers, Cloya glanced into the distance inadvertently and suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a carriage driving towards the castle.

"Carriage? Why didn't anyone notify me?"

He frowned, turned around and walked downstairs.
