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

Chapter 176 176. Magic Planting Magic Circle, Oak Seedling
After deciding to visit the Oak of Orpheus, Kloya went directly to the bottom of the sea through the space magic circle, and then rode the sea dolphin towards the shipwreck ruins.

As he rushed to the ruins, he was still a little nervous.

After all, the last time he went there, he had promised Oak that he would come to see it from time to time, and he ended up going there once.

Moreover, he only stayed there for half an hour before saying goodbye and leaving, leaving the oak tree feeling very pitiful.

"I hope you don't blame me."

"Ugh."

He suppressed his worries and watched the remains of the shipwreck getting closer and closer to him, hiding the star mist and three sun rings on his body.

It’s better not to let outsiders see this thing. There might be someone or other existence who knows about this robe.

Although it has disappeared, the mental power and perception bonus from the robe still exists.

He looked at the sunken ship that had been completely covered by oak trees with a strange expression.

He felt that the magic power here seemed to have reached a new level, and the oak tree was obviously getting bigger and expanding.

Is this guy planning to truly occupy the seabed? Or is its magic power already so strong?

Croa didn't have time to think, because after he approached the shipwreck, the oak tree discovered him and conveyed a very friendly message.

It was like calling him to come over quickly.

The surrounding sea water was even stirred by the oak tree's terrifying magic, forming an air road, and the oak tree's branches formed a bridge that extended in front of Cloya.

"..."

I really can't wait.

"I'll go in first, you guys just wait around."

Croa patted the sea dolphin, stepped onto the path formed by the branches, and soon entered the interior of the shipwreck.

As soon as he came in, he found that something was wrong inside the shipwreck - the cabin was messy before, but now it was as clean as new, with exquisite and gorgeous elf decorations hanging on the walls, and the floor was as bright as if it had been waxed.

Soft white light emanates from the ceiling and walls.

Walking here is like walking in the corridor of the Elf Art Museum, and it is completely different from the dilapidated shipwreck before.

This...does it still have a repairing effect when you grow, or are you just missing the past...

However, the elves' ornaments are really beautiful. If they could take a few of them, the human nobles would probably be racking their brains.

He walked slowly forward, admiring the elves' decorations.

Soon,

"Friends! Human friends!"

Oak's extremely passionate voice rang in Cloya's ears.

Then, the surrounding space changed directly, transferring Kloya.

He appeared in a garden full of colorful flowers. Not far in front of him stood the Oak of Orpheus. It seemed a little taller at this time, and its branches and leaves became more luxuriant.

As for its magic...

It was already something that Croa couldn't sense.

It has only been a short time. When I came here last time, although I felt that the power of this oak tree was terrifying, I couldn't say that I couldn't even feel it.

You know, Croix also has a robe this time!
I still can’t feel it…

And you have this ability to transfer space? Wait, could it be that you have also learned the space transmission array?
"My friend, you have become stronger."

Croa sat down on the chair very familiarly, smiled slightly and asked curiously: "Why are you so powerful?"

During the two times he had spent time with Orpheus Oak, Croix had already determined that this guy liked nothing more than to speak his mind.

If I use the polite and roundabout way of speaking between human nobles, the other party may not understand me.

"I drew upon whatever life-water was left."

The Oak of Orpheus did not hide it: "I am trying to leave here. I want to see if I can sail back to my country."

"Human friend, you should have sensed that the magic power in this sea area is very chaotic right now. It must be the work of those bad mermaids!"

"I can feel that nature is sad and in pain because of their arbitrary manipulation."

An angry look appeared on Oak's face.

"If my old master were here, he would never allow them to do this to nature!"

The grass and flowers around it swayed with its anger, as if blown by a violent storm.

Hearing this, Kloya's heart moved.

"I know they are performing a blessing ceremony for the little mermaid, Oak friend, do you know more about the situation?"

Although the angel told him some things last time, he only understood a little bit and he wanted to know more.

"..."

After a brief silence, Oak took out a book made of leaves from somewhere, opened a page, and handed it to Cloya.

This is a poem.

The person who wrote this poem... was actually the bard named Wendy whom he knew well.

The name of the poem is "Ode to the Virtual Moon and All Things".

To put it simply, it describes that the mermaids have a super magic device that can control weather changes.

Through this magical device, they can not only control the changes in ocean currents and magic power, but also indirectly affect the stability of the spatial barriers of the main plane.

When necessary, they can even directly pray to the mermaid sea god they believe in for favors.

Wendy saw with her own eyes the mermaid praying and summoning the power of the sea god, who blessed the little mermaid when thousands of warm ocean currents converged and the wind of life blew.

After reading the entire article carefully, almost 99% of the content was things that Kloya knew. At most, he had a glimpse into the civilization and social system of the mermaids.

But at the end of the poem, a very important message is implicitly mentioned:

"The virtual moon gave birth to a blue flower that spreads wisdom all over the land. It also symbolizes luck and bad luck."

This sentence was so abrupt that it looked like a printing error, but this was a collection of poetry compiled by elves. It would be incredible if even the elves could make a mistake.

The only possibility is that this sentence is related to the mermaid ritual, and it is very closely related, but for some reason it cannot be clearly stated, so it is so obscure.

Another very important point is the magic device controlled by the mermaids. At that time, the angel said that the mermaids once had a very glorious civilization.

Could it be that this thing was left behind by their ancestors?
If such a meteorological weapon really existed, it could be used at will, manipulating the weather changes if it was not satisfactory.

Perhaps some powerful beings can withstand it, but the weak ones will definitely die.

This method can be regarded as a super map cannon whether it is against Warcraft, demon plants or humans.

"I understand, my friend."

Croix returned the collection of poems to the oak tree.

The latter reminded with concern: “Human friend, you should also have connections with the mermaids.

Be careful. What is good for them may not be good for humans."

"Thank you for your concern, Oak friend." Kloya expressed his sincere gratitude, and then took out the Moonlight Spirit Dew Grass from the body of the Clock Golem that had been following him.

He placed the Moonlight Spirit Dew Grass on the table and said:

"I recently acquired the Orpheus Swan Flute Tree, the Emerald Skeleton Tree, and the Moonlight Spirit Dew Grass... The other two trees are planted in my territory and cannot be moved at will, so I didn't bring them here."

In fact, Oak no longer cared at all about what he said.

Its eyes were fixed on the Moonlight Spirit Dew Grass, and without any movement, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.

The bright light fades away and the soft moonlight rises.

The moonlight was as bright as flowing water, converging towards the Moonlight Spirit Dew Grass, flowing from its crown to its aerial roots, turning from moonlight into clear springs.

Eventually the water flows into the well formed by the roots.

A light blue liquid appeared visibly in there, and soon filled up the well.

Just when Cloya was worried that it would overflow, the excess well water turned into small crescent-shaped drops and fell on the treetops.

“I really miss it.”

Orpheus Oak looked at the Moonlight Spirit Dew Grass and said with emotion: "My master, the Duke of the Orpheus family, once owned a whole garden of Moonlight Spirit Dew Grass."

"He also used a method to make the moonlight dew produced by the moonlight dew grass into a magic potion... It seems to be related to a magic plant called sea ganoderma."

Croa: “!!!”

Can Sea Ganoderma and Moonlight Spirit Dew Grass work together?
He immediately asked, "Friend Oak, do you know this method?"

“…This should be it.”

Orpheus Oak took out another leaf and handed it to Cloya. No one knew what kind of magic had been applied to this leaf, but the painting on it actually moved.

It seems to be the process of making a magic circle.

With the Moonlight Spirit Dew Grass in the center as the core, the Moonlight Spirit Dew flows through the magic patterns of the magic circle, and finally passes through the sea ganoderma...

The strands of moonlight mixed with the sea ganoderma, and the mycelium of the sea ganoderma was carried into the air by the moonlight, interweaving into blue clouds in the air.

Hanging in the clouds were gem-shaped objects made of deep sea blue and soft blue moonlight. The entire magic circle looked extremely coordinated and orderly, with magic patterns representing magic civilization and magic plants of natural power.

This was the first time that Kroa saw magic plants used as components of a magic circle. He had had this idea before, but had never experimented with it.

I didn't expect to see the complete atlas this time.

He was really overjoyed and his eyes were shining.

But the Oak of Orpheus sighed softly: “My human friend, all the magic plants in the master’s garden have produced spirits.

Unless you can make the Moonlight Spirit Dew Grass and the Sea Ganoderma produce spirits like me and the sunflower..."

At this point, it was suddenly stunned and said curiously: "Dear friend, you seem to have the magic power of two other elves..."

"Ah?" Kloya came back to his senses and said casually, "It's an olive elf and a lotus elf."

"..."

The Oak of Orpheus was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Human friend, are you willing to cultivate my seedling? You are truly loved and respected by so many elves, I believe you can take good care of my child."

As if afraid that Croa would refuse, it added: “My seedlings are just like me, and can grow into what you want according to your mental power.

Just as this ship was once a grown, thousand-year-old Orpheus oak, and I am its child."

This surprise really came a bit suddenly.

OPHETHIS OAK Alas, of course Chloe wants it.

But he was also worried about whether he could take good care of it, so he asked about some things very seriously, such as the growth environment of the oak seedlings, the magic supply required and so on.

Hearing Croa's careful questioning, the face of the Orpheus Oak became more and more joyful. It knew that Croa really wanted to raise her children well.

Reproducing offspring has always been the most important thing for most magical beasts and magical plants.

For most magical plants, being able to find a suitable owner for their offspring is a very important thing.

After all, they are different from Warcraft. They cannot move freely and do not have sufficient ability to deal with risks before they grow up.

So it also answered very seriously.

He told Cloa almost everything he knew about the Oak of Orpheus.

The only hope is that Cloya can take good care of the little tree.

Croa wrote down everything the Oak of Orpheus said, and then promised solemnly: "I will take good care of it."

"I'm counting on you, human friend." Oak took out a small sapling and handed it to Croa carefully.

"I will visit you when I am free."

"Ok."

Seeing that Cloa took the sapling, Orpheus Oak took the initiative to bring up other things.

"I don't know what the Emerald Skeleton Tree is."

“But I know something about the Orpheus Swan Recorder Tree.

I don't know much about it, but since you can grow it, you should also know some musical magic, right?"

It took out another piece of parchment and handed it to Cloya.

"This is a kind of musical magic that my old master collected, and it happens to be related to the Orpheus Swan Recorder Tree."

"Thank you so much, my friend..."

Croix was sincerely grateful.

This guy is truly a treasure trove, constantly taking out good things one after another. I don’t know how rich his family fortune is.

“You’re welcome, human friend. You can become stronger and better help me find the people of the Orpheus family.

And since you are loved by so many elves, you must be a good person who really loves nature."

It makes no secret of its purpose and hands out a nice guy card.

Of course, Cloya also knew about this. After all, if you were useless, why would others give you so many things?

"I will continue to keep an eye on the affairs of the Orpheus family."

After he said this, he lowered his head and looked at the contents on the parchment.

This thing is not written in Elvish, but in...human language.

The most important thing is that the handwriting on it is very familiar to Cloya, it is exactly the same as the handwriting when he wrote "Rainbow Poem".

That was the handwriting of the original owner's grandfather.

This discovery surprised him, but he still patiently finished reading this magic.

This piece of magic is called "The Melody of Gently Flowing Spring Water".

Although it looks like a kind of magic, it is actually a means of mobilizing magic power, and its power will vary depending on the strength of the magic power.

The effect is simply that it is continuous, and magic power will be kept in a certain area after casting the spell.

Water dripping through stone will impact a certain place, and as long as the magic power is not consumed, it will continue forever.

He didn't know why, but after reading this introduction, he always felt that this magic was a bit similar to his own Red Overlay.

"Why is this a human language? Could it be that it was studied by a great human magician?"

He showed just the right amount of curiosity.

Unfortunately, Orpheus Oak shook his head: "I just found this magic, but I really don't know who wrote it."

"Is that so?"

"Friend Oak, do you still have this kind of music? I am willing to pay more for it."

"No more, human friend."

"If you want to get more music magic, you can only find someone from the Orpheus family."

"It seems I have to look harder."

Croa smiled and didn't continue to be curious.

Then he changed the subject and started chatting with Orpheus Oak. They talked for a long time before he got up and left.

Before leaving, the Oak of Orpheus gave Cloya a wooden birdcage woven with exquisite craftsmanship.

"This is a magical device that can allow elves to temporarily leave their bodies and walk outside. Human friend, bring them to see me when the snowstorm passes."

Of course, Croix agreed.

After saying goodbye to the Oak of Orpheus, he returned to his castle, sorted out his gains, and had a good sleep.

Although he learned a lot of things this time and found some magic that was suspected to be left by the original owner's grandfather, he couldn't find the way forward.

The only way to perform more magic is to find the Orpheus family, and there is obviously no way to do that now.

It’s better not to think so much.

Let’s get down to business first.

……

The next day, he arranged for Robert to take Estner for a walk around the island. He himself took the oak sapling, intending to plant it first and then set up the magic circle.

The Oak of Orpheus.

This is a very special magical plant. According to Oak himself, this magical plant has the ability to grow according to human commands when it is born.

Whether it grows into a house, a ship, a factory, or something else, it is the oak tree's special ability - its ductility.

If other magical plants grew like the Orpheus Oak and wrapped around it for more than ten times, their branches would probably break, but this one wouldn't.

Even the most complex structures and pipelines can be easily completed when growing Orpheus Oak.

Therefore, the greatest use of this thing is actually the wizard's magic tower. In the inheritance of the Orpheus family, every young elf will get a young Orpheus oak tree.

They will plant their own oak trees, and let them grow into their homes and wizard towers over the long years of their lives.

According to the lifespan of the elves... the Oak of Orpheus will grow more and more terrifying and larger.

According to the Oak, the ancestral land of the Orpheus family is a plane supported by an oak tree. It is the father and mother of all oak trees and is larger than the Eternal Tree of the Elves.

A tree is truly a world.

What Cloya planned to do after getting the oak tree seedling was a very challenging task.

He planned to make some modifications to the magic patterns inside the "mansion" he had just obtained, which was engraved with the elven mansion magic, and then engrave them into the seedling of the Orpheus Oak.

As the seedling of the Orpheus Oak grows, these magic patterns will allow it to grow into a real magic mansion for Chloe to live in.

To be honest, this castle seemed a bit too small to Cloya and not suitable for his status.

He planned to have the oak trees surround the castle.
