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

Chapter 175: Rainbow Poetry's Robe, Elf Mansion
"Quite good looking."

Kloya was very curious about the Moonlight Spirit Dew Grass, so he looked at it a few more times. However, when he saw it, an irresistible desire suddenly arose in his heart.

He understood very well the source of this desire - it was the original owner's desire for it. It was this desire that pushed the original owner to sign the contract and eventually killed himself.

That is greedy desire.

To be honest, everyone has greedy desires, but he instinctively felt that this desire came very suddenly and was a bit inexplicable.

In fact, if you think about it carefully now, there are many things wrong with the process of the contract between the original owner and Stein.

For example, the simplest one.

A level five magic plant, using a treasure of this level as a bet, is it really just because Stein is jealous of the original owner that he would use the level five magic plant to lure the original owner into signing a contract?

Even if that Master Zel liked him very much, he wouldn't do this.

How many lives of first-level mages can one fifth-level magic plant buy?

Didn’t the original owner think much about it? Is it really stupid for others to use the fifth-level magic plant as a bet?

Something is very wrong on both sides.

'Very strange.'

Croix thought of the vague feeling he had when he was performing the symphony and controlling magic with the Orpheus Swan and Recorder Tree.

Something in Zel's body resonated with his magic, otherwise it would have taken him a lot of effort to kill a fourth-level wizard.

"Is it the old-fashioned way... the original owner had some treasure on him, and killing him directly would be too conspicuous, so he was exiled?"

He felt that his guess was very likely.

"It seems that I will have to interrogate Stein in a while. If I had known earlier, I would have used the symphony to control Zell's soul."

The first time he felt a little annoyed that what he did was not perfect.

Stein might know something, but certainly not as much as Zel knew, so he shouldn't have been in a hurry to kill Zel.

At that time, he was worried that if such a veteran fourth-level wizard did not die, he would definitely have to spend several times more effort to imprison him.

Who knows if these mid- to high-level wizards have any special magic.

He thought for a while and suppressed the thoughts in his mind.

Pointing at the Moonlight Spirit Dew Grass, he asked curiously, "Do you know what this thing is used for? All I knew at the time was that it can help with meditation and the perception of magic."

"Hey, I asked the instructor before I came here." Estner was as helpful as ever: "This magic plant is said to have been cultivated by the Orpheus family of the Elf Kingdom. The well formed by its intertwined roots can produce moonlight dew under the moonlight."

"My mentor said that this Moonlight Dew has even one-fifth of the effectiveness of the original Moon Well. It can speed up meditation and has a certain chance of giving magic the properties of moonlight."

"The Moon Well is a miraculous building unique to the elves. It is said to be the knowledge bestowed by the Moon God."

"Another thing from the Orpheus family? I have to go visit that oak tree." Croix thought.

Then, he nodded as if he understood something, and praised, "As expected of you, you know so much!"

"I just have a good mentor." Estner smiled awkwardly: "Now that the bet is over, do you plan to return to the Mage Association?"

This was just a casual question he asked to change the subject.

Because anyone with enough IQ would not be willing to leave the territory that they have built so well and return to the Mage Association.

"I won't go back."

Croa shook his head and refused: "I don't plan to go back, but I still want to get back the subsidies and assistance I deserve."

Now that there is no villain causing trouble inside, he, a fourth-level magician, has enough ability to protect himself in his own territory.

Of course, you have to take back everything that belongs to you.

"…This may be a bit difficult." Estner looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Why?" Kloya wondered.

No matter how short-sighted the Mage Association is, it won't cut off its aid to outbound mages. Aren't they afraid that they will switch to the Kingdom's forces?

Any wizard who can make a living outside must have real skills. These territories are equivalent to the extension of the power of the Wizards Association.

How stupid would one have to be to give up on these people?

Estner spread his hands and said, "Just when I left, I heard that the Lord of the Pit in the Yavana Holy Mine and the Lord of the Gray Sand in the Gray Desert did something."

"One joined the cult, and the other summoned a projection of Leviathan in his own territory.

It is said that the entire Gray Desert was shrouded by the power of Leviathan and turned into a vast ocean. "

Croa: “???”

No, I have been staying at home for more than a month. Hasn’t it been more than a hundred years?

Something so big happened outside?
The Mage Lord Alliance didn't mention this information either?
Seeing Cloya's shocked expression, Estner said, "Don't tell anyone. I heard this from my mentor. The association has blocked the news.

The seventh-level magician has already rushed over, and the two of them are probably in great danger."

"This kind of thing is really a huge stain on the Mage Association of the Kingdom of Norant."

"If the association doesn't respond immediately when it comes to demons, the church will probably take this opportunity to insert its forces."

“It is because of them that the Mage Association is now rethinking the treatment and arrangements for the Mage Lords.

"..."

Chloe sighed deeply.

He did not hide it, "I once made a deal with the two of them, and it was not long ago. How could they do such a thing?"

Although he himself also keeps demons in captivity, there is a huge difference between keeping demons and trading with demons.

Not to mention that the Abyss Lord Leviathan is also involved.

Any organization with a bit of justice would not be able to tolerate this. Doing such a thing would affect more than just themselves.

“So you have to be more careful.”

Estner warned: "Don't get involved with them again. The church has a policy against those who make deals with the devil..."

He didn't say anything else, but the meaning was very clear.

Kloya also nodded and changed the subject: "Don't worry, let's eat and talk after we finish eating!"

So for the next period of time, the two of them enjoyed delicious food and chatted on the castle terrace. Chloe shared her sunflowers, and Estner asked questions...

Communicating with such a person who is well versed in the theoretical knowledge of magic plant cultivation did give Cloya a lot of inspiration, and also made him aware of the outside world's methods of cultivating magic plants.

Time passed quickly.

It was not until nightfall that Estner reluctantly returned to the residence that Croa had arranged for him. After saying goodbye to him, Croa went to his own laboratory.

In a room in the laboratory, Bamboo was guarding Stein. Next to him was a coffin, in which lay the fourth-level wizard Zel.

When Stein saw Cloya coming here, he shrank back timidly as if he had seen a devil.

There is no trace of the domineering look in my memory.

Kloya was too lazy to mock him or anything. This man was already his prisoner, and he could do whatever he wanted with him.

He is not a cat and will not play with his prey.

At best, Stein would slowly endure the pain and spend the rest of his life in agony.

Kloya walked in front of Zel's body and looked down at the robe he was wearing, which was engraved with golden rings and had a starry sky as the background.

A familiar throbbing sensation rose in my heart.

"As expected." He sighed softly.

This robe contains the power of Rainbow Poetry.

He stretched out his finger and lightly tapped the robe, and the three-color magic power poured into it like a tide, and the three golden circles on it were immediately filled with different colors.

Dancing red, warm and soft orange, and eternal gold.

The robe separated directly from Zel's body and was baptized in the light. Stains of fire and blood gradually disappeared. It seemed to have life, emitting a sense of joy and comfort.

'It's alive.'

Looking directly at the robe, the Astral Body Imprinting Technique saw through its internal structure - seven extremely complex rings, extending from countless silk threads and magic patterns, and those magic patterns were all composed of the magic power of "Poem of Rainbow".

The combination looks like a beautiful rainbow.

It has a name, it is called...Phoebus Bathed in Light.

Robes can also have names. Can this also be considered a magical beast or magical plant?

Croix expressed confusion.

And this name reminded him of the daffodil: Narcissus in search of beauty. There is indeed a similarity between the two.

After all the stains were washed away, the robe emitted a flattering consciousness and flew towards Kloya.

It was as if an invisible hand was covering Chloe with it.

Stein, who was standing aside, had bulging eyes like a frightened goldfish, and looked at Cloya in disbelief as he put on the robe.

After Cloa put on the robe, the seven rings on it turned into three, forming a substantial halo that flew slowly around Cloa.

The robe that looked like a starry sky itself turned into starlight, floating around Kloya's body, shining brightly.

At first glance, it looked like Chloe was covered in stars.

His aura suddenly became mysterious and vast, like the boundless galaxy itself. Just one glance at it would make people feel extremely small.

This feeling is special, very special.

Kloya felt that his perception of the surrounding magic power had risen by at least three or four levels, and it was no difficulty for him to control the magic power.

The three rings around it are the embodiment of the three chapters of "Rainbow Poetry" that he has already learned.

Through it, the magic of the three chapters can be displayed more smoothly.

the most important is……

The consciousness of the robe told him a message -

The blue chapter of "Poem of the Rainbow" can only be learned in the astral realm, while the purple chapter involves the etheric realm.

Although this is just a piece of information, for him, knowing the road ahead is definitely better than anything else.

He wanted to continue communicating with the robe, but the latter fell silent and fell asleep peacefully in Croa's magic, and even a materialized snoring sound was heard.

"..."

He had no choice but to decide that he must learn the art of communicating with all things. Otherwise, he would always be guessing, which would be really painful.

After solving the problem of the robe, he said directly to Stein beside him: "Tell me everything you know. I swear on my magic name that I will not kill you, and I will arrange an absolutely comfortable place for you to live."

Swearing on the name of magic is actually equivalent to those fanatics swearing on gods, which is the most binding contract.

It’s not that Kroa had no other way to make Stein tell the truth, but he wanted to know the truth of the matter as soon as possible and his curiosity was uncontrollable.

Besides... not killing him doesn't mean I'll let him go.

When Stein heard what Cloya said, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he quickly said, "That old guy Zel asked me to do this!"

"That old guy got one of your treasures and wanted to kill you to silence you, so he asked me to make a bet with you... He, he also used the power of the devil!"

In order to survive, he immediately told everything and put all the blame on the dead Zel.

Zel's body is still lying there.

I don't know what Zel would think if he heard his most doted illegitimate son calling him an old guy and describing him as an unforgivable villain.

Croa showed a sarcastic smile: "You are really Xiaozi."

Stein was very curious as to why Cloya used the "howling" sound that was blown by the storm, but he didn't dare to ask and could only smile along.

There was a deep hatred hidden in the depths of his eyes - this certainly could not be hidden from Chloe.

But it doesn’t matter.

Could the hatred of such a small person have any effect on him?

Through the induction of magic, Kloya was sure that this guy was not lying. But he only knew such a small amount of information, which still made Kloya feel dissatisfied.

At the same time, he felt more and more regretful. If he had known earlier, he would not have killed Zel so cleanly.

The information we know now seems to be the old-fashioned story of embezzling ancestral treasures and trying to kill people. I don’t know if there are any hidden secrets in this story.

He sighed slightly in his heart.

Fortunately, this matter has been completely resolved, and I can feel much more at ease. From now on, I can continue to farm and develop peacefully.

By the way, he also placed some of his own spies in the royal capital.

So he smiled at Stein with a "pleasant face" and said: "Since you have told me everything, I will not kill you, and I will arrange a good place for you to live."

Stein was a little bit incredulous when he heard what Cloya said.

But for the sake of his life, he blurted out good words without thinking, which were nothing more than repetitive words like Chloe was kinder and more merciful than an angel and very powerful.

Croix listened to him praising himself with great interest, but there was not a trace of smile in his eyes.

Although this matter was instigated by Zell, Stein, as the real executor, is even more hateful.

Fortunately, I have already arranged the ending for him.

He brought Stein to the place where the Emerald Skeleton Tree was placed, and the latter's face changed drastically when he saw the skeleton tree.

It was too late to say anything.

Because Kroya had thrown him directly onto the skeleton tree, watching the skeleton tree pierce its bones into Stein's body, watching it absorb Stein's flesh and blood.

Stein twitched and struggled in pain.

The feeling of devouring and reorganizing all the flesh, blood, and soul is quite "refreshing".

The whole process lasted about five minutes.

Kloya watched as Stein's body completely turned into ashes and dissipated, while his soul was absorbed by the Emerald Skeleton Tree and entered the fruit.

At this point, the anger that had been lingering in his heart finally disappeared completely, and he felt his mentality became very peaceful.

"it is finally over."

He let out a breath, and he couldn't tell whether it was a breath of relief or a sigh.

He was deeply aware that only by strengthening his power and strength could he avoid such things from happening again in the future.

Since he does not intend to pursue hegemony in the open, he must cultivate his own power in secret and form a network relying on his unique magic plants and magic beasts.

As long as he still has unique value, he will have many friends, and they will all be understanding friends.

While thinking, he picked the fruits and placed them in a beautiful villa surrounded by flowers and plants that had been prepared long ago.

He bought these flowers and plants specially, and they have obvious hallucinogenic effects. He believes that Stein will like this place and will be willing to cooperate with his experiment.

……

After settling Stein, he returned and searched Zel's body carefully, and he actually found a lot of treasures.

Among them was a space magic weapon, a magic wand made of star iron and high-level energy crystal, and five or six magic scrolls with extremely strong attack power...

There's even a little house at the end.

Its appearance is in a very delicate and elegant elf style, with the texture of vines and branches, and it looks like a tree house artwork.

At first glance, it looks the same as the "residence" that Cloya prepared for Stein. They are all models, but in fact this is the real "mansion art".

Just inject some magic power and this thing will stretch out and turn into a mansion.

And this thing is the elves' mansion magic.

Elves are a race that really enjoys material desires, so you can imagine how valuable this thing is.

He couldn't help but sigh that he was worthy of being a fourth-level magician, he was rich.

But after a careful inspection, he unexpectedly found a line of small Elvish words on the back - made by the Orpheus family.

The reason why he could recognize the Elvish language was that the small and elegant characters were exactly the same as what he saw at the oak tree.

Croix held the tree house and stroked it.

He muttered to himself, "It's the Orpheus family again."

It seems that he really needs to visit the oak tree. He has already found so many things from the Orpheus family, and he doesn't know if the latter will give him any more benefits?
