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

Chapter 183 183. Expansion of the Sea, Greedy Desire
“This tree.”

Croa stared closely at the big tree in the distance.

"It's very similar to the Xuyue Divine Tree."

He was very sure that its appearance was basically the same as the tree in his bottle, but unfortunately the distance was too far and he could not use the Astral Body Imprinting Technique to sense the situation of the tree.

He could only vaguely see countless sea creatures leaping high into the air and swimming in the azure particles emitted by the big tree.

They were extremely happy, and even Cloea felt overwhelmed by such strong emotions.

"Well, it's like I've been cast under a mental spell."

He looked away and rubbed his brows tiredly. Suddenly, he felt something and lowered his head to look at the Holy Spring Crystal Card in his hand.

The light on the surface of the crystal card was flickering in varying degrees of brightness, and the voice of Estner, which was originally close to my ears, gradually disappeared.

Instead, the Shengquan Chamber of Commerce sounded apologetic:
"Dear Star Spirit, the environment you are in has been affected. The contact with our Chamber of Commerce will be temporarily interrupted. You can continue to check the existing news.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Once we are able to connect with you, we will send you a small gift as an apology."

A moment later, the Holy Spring Crystal Card was surrounded by a silver moonlight, as if it was isolated, and completely lost its mysterious deep blue glow.

"..."

“It disappeared.”

To be honest, this is really unbelievable. There is actually a force in this world that can make the Shengquan Chamber of Commerce retreat, and it is obvious that it is making concessions voluntarily, not being unable to resist.

Because the information can still be viewed.

The Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce, which has been rampant in many dimensions of the world, has retreated under the might of the mermaids. It is really hard to imagine what kind of power the mermaids have.

He immediately tried to communicate with the outside world and asked King Mu Yao Qu Teng to communicate with the outside world as well, but they all failed without exception.

The seemingly thin shield of light between the ocean and the land outside isolates everything.

Just as he was thinking, the big tree in the distance... no, to be more precise, it was the mermaid song that echoed throughout the entire sea.

A voice spoke to him:
"What gift do you want?"

“Make a wish in the ocean.”

“He will grant you what you desire, what you expect, what you dream of…”

The voice was filled with an indescribable sense of majesty, as if it came from the distant sky, echoing in Kroya's ears, and there seemed to be a gentle moonlight shining on him.

Croix felt a little dazed.

He raised his head and looked up at the sky. The dark clouds had already dispersed, replaced by bright moonlight, which sprinkled gently and filled the entire sea.

There seemed to be a ball of light flickering deep in the moonlight.

He was like an eyeball with countless pairs of wings, and the moonlight wings were flapping gently. Although his eyes were not open, the light that burst out from them was the moonlight that now permeated the entire sea.

"I think..." He opened his mouth.

"Wait, don't make a wish!"

Suddenly, a light gate appeared on the side, and an angel flew out hurriedly from it, interrupting Cloya's wish with a serious face: "Lucky friend, this is the blessing of the goddess of the sea and moonlight brought by the mermaids.

Once you make a wish, it is equivalent to accepting His grace and being illuminated by His light. His moonlight and your light cannot coexist! "

His voice instantly woke Cloya up.

The latter suddenly took a step back, and the magic power around him surged rapidly. The three kinds of magic power, red, orange and golden, intertwined nearby, forming an exquisite and magnificent melody.

The symphony formed a three-color light band around the castle. Combined with the iris ring on Cloya's finger, this magic power wrapped around the castle, making it invisible in terms of magic.

The moonlight could not find the castle or the people inside the castle, but it did not dissipate and still lingered on the island.

After completing this defense, Kloya finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked the angel, "Is this the ritual you mentioned?"

“Yes, it is a miracle in the sea.”

"This is the most powerful force of the mermaid clan."

The angel's eyes reflected the huge tree that connected the sky and the earth. He sighed softly and said, "God said that because they assisted in the great cause of creation, the miracle of illusion will exist forever until the last mermaid leaves."

"God..." It was just one word, but when it came out of the angel's mouth, it made Kloya feel shocked.

"What is it good for?"

After calming down a little, Cloya's curiosity burned uncontrollably again. What on earth was that tree?
"Lucky friend, you are too curious."

This time the angel did not answer, but reminded: "They are definitely not just crazy for praying, my friend, you were originally on their invitation list.

I will help you create a fake you, and then pray to the gods. Only those whose wishes are fulfilled by God can enter the kingdom of mermaids."

He stared at Cloya, hesitated for a moment, and said something that shocked Cloya: "Your soul does not belong to this world."

"The emotions of the past still remain in your body. They are irrepressible desires and the truest version of you."

"Let him go and make you whole."

After saying this, there was no change in the surrounding magic power. Kloya just stared at Him quietly, and after a long while, he sighed:

"...You are really brave enough to say that."

To be honest, Cloya was already mentally prepared for the possibility that his soul might be seen by others.

After all, souls from other worlds will always be out of place.

For those special wizards or powerful beings, this can be easily seen. Otherwise, wouldn't the beings from other worlds be able to come and go as they please?

He was just surprised that...

Does the original owner's consciousness or soul still exist in him?

If this is true, it would be the worst news.

"So what you mean is... he's still in my body?" Kloya asked, his expression a little serious.

"No, your soul is as bright as the sun."

"But the brighter the light, the more likely it is that shadows will lurk. The power that comes from the devil is his trace."

The angel flew over and kissed Chloe's forehead gently, just like he had done many times before.

"Lucky friend, may your greed emerge in the sun and disappear in the moonlight."

There is a very powerful and special magic in His voice.

This time, an extremely complex magic pattern suddenly appeared on Kroya's forehead. It was in the shape of a ring.
There was a figure in the circle that was extremely similar to Croa, but not as confident as him. Even a thin figure appeared and left the circle.

The brighter the light emanating from Kloya, the deeper the shadow appeared. He stood there quietly, as if he could swallow up the light.

"What a horrible desire."

After sensing it for a while, Croa smacked his lips and said, "Such a strong desire, is it really born from him? Is there someone messing around?"

At the beginning, Kloya felt the desire from the original owner in his body, but he didn't expect it to be so strong.

This desire can become a reality!

The angel replied, “I don’t know, but my friend, since he is your desire, he also represents you… God needs to respond to desires.

As long as you make a wish to Him and want to obtain a territory, even the mermaids cannot invade your territory at will, and they may even give you some help.

Your soul will be truly flawless.”

"Is that so?" Kloya nodded and tried to control the shadows made up of these desires. Surprisingly, he was able to control them easily.

He controlled his shadow and left the castle, but was immediately discovered by the omnipresent moonlight, which was rushing towards "him".

The majestic voice inside repeated: "Wish..."

This time, Croa answered directly: "I want to truly own the land and sea under my feet, as well as all the land and sea that my magic plants and magic beasts can occupy in the future!"

The sound paused for a moment.

But it only took a moment, and He replied: "If this is your wish..."

As He responded, the light particles emitted by the big blue tree rushed over here, forming a blue light band in the sky above Hanjiao Island.

It flickered in the sky like the aurora, and Hanjiao Island seemed to be marked by a force.

"As you wish, this place will belong to you forever."

His voice became cheerful.

"I will rejoice over the birth of the mermaid and spread miracles throughout this sea."

"In twenty-one days, the sea will be blessed by me, islands will appear, and magic will shape everything."

“Please rejoice at the birth of the mermaid.” “Just as He rejoiced at the moment He created the mermaid after the third week.”

Chloe raised an eyebrow.

He immediately looked outside.

"Tsk."

There was an unconcealable surprise in his eyes because he saw that the sea outside... had become bigger.

……

Above the distant sky.

A small town built on the clouds.

Mage Danterian, who was waiting for a reply from the Celestial Council, saw the changes on the curtain of stars.

The map of the sea area in the northern border of the Kingdom of Nolant suddenly became larger, as if it was pulled by an invisible giant hand and unfolded like kneading plasticine, expanding at least ten times!
As it expanded, a silver force enveloped the sea area, and even the power of the curtain of stars could not be easily detected.

What's strange is that although the area of ​​the sea has expanded, on the map of the Curtain of Stars, there is no change in the northern border of the Kingdom of Nolant and its surrounding terrain.

This means that its expansion is simply the expansion of the sea area, or that a new space has been formed in that sea area.

The legendary wizard is considered to be well-informed. To be honest, she owns several small planes of her own, some of which are not smaller than this sea.

However, the expansion of small planes and the expansion of the main plane cannot be generalized.

The former is like a world that can be opened up at will, with many ways to expand. But the latter has long been fixed, and it is almost impossible to expand.

Unless it involves the consciousness of creation.

"It seems that the virtual god of the mermaid tribe really exists."

"I just said those people are idiots."

Danterian shook her head helplessly and complained: "Both Lord Ilist and I have reminded them to pay attention to the Atlantis waters in the north of the Kingdom of Norlant.

But they just don't care.

Tell me, how dare they ignore the legendary wizard's prophecy? Just because of the treasure hidden in the association?"

The person she was asking was a tall man who was wearing armor made of crystal. It was simple and exquisite, like a work of art handed down from ancient times.

The man did not answer, but reminded:

"Legendary Mage Danterian, your application to leave the Semrio Continent has been approved by the Astral Council. You need to stay within the range of the Starry Sky within forty-eight standard astral hours."

"..." Danterian sighed softly.

"You are a puppet made by the Titans after all, and you are made of the bark of a 100,000-year-old pseudo-demon tree. You already have your own intelligence, so why are you still so dull?"

The man remained silent, and answered with his actions—the surrounding starlight intertwined into a curtain, wrapping Danterian inside.

It flickers, as if responding to signals from a distant area.

Danterian looked at the starlight that trapped her, a look of realization appeared on her face, and she smiled:
"Okay, I take back your dull words."

"You are actually related to the mermaids. You rejected all my previous requests, right?

You were waiting for this moment so that I could not intervene."

The man remained silent and said nothing.

……

Royal capital, Mage Association.

Estner looked at the crystal card in his hand with a confused look on his face.

"The person you are contacting has lost contact due to known reasons. It is estimated that it will take 21 days to recover. Please wait for recovery..."

The light on the surface of the Holy Spring Crystal Card was like a magic circuit with poor contact. It flickered a few times and then went out completely.

This was the first time he had seen Shengquan Chamber of Commerce in such a situation. He was at a loss for a moment and could only ask his mentor.

But his mentor actually left the Mage Association.

Not only his mentor, but all the mages above level four in the association left.

There are only a few level three mages left in the entire Mage Association, which can be said to be weaker than ever before.

"What exactly is going on?"

Estner didn't know what to do for a moment. He could only stop all actions temporarily and wait for the situation to return to normal.

……

In the sea of ​​Atlantis.

Kloya has left the castle and come to the seaside. Looking at the blue water in front of him, he can feel... an extremely exaggerated magic power in it.

The symphony of light bands surrounded him and the angel, who was now sitting on his left shoulder, while his right shoulder was crowded with sunflower elves, lotus elves, olive elves and ghost owls.

The jealous little guys usually didn't dare to resist the angel at all, and could only huddle together obediently.

It was just that Cloa's shoulders were quite broad, barely enough to accommodate them, otherwise they would have fallen off long ago.

As for the clock golem... this guy could only float aside pitifully, with no way to find a place to sit down at all.

"Lucky friends, during the twenty-one days of the mermaid tribe's initiation ceremony, the power from the virtual god will permeate the sea, and now some special mineral deposits and magic plants will appear in the sea."

This is no longer a hint from the angel, but a clear statement.

Of course, Croa understood what He meant instantly.

Immediately, he ordered all his men to enter the ocean, and start exploring with the Air Coral Base as the center to see if there were any mineral deposits.

As a result, as soon as he gave the order, he saw a huge, crystal clear gem coral growing in the sea water around him at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It is more than ten meters high, and on its enormous branches hang seventeen or eighteen sea-blue prismatic gems like fruits, which look like they were cut from the sea water.

"!!!"

"what?"

He swallowed and immediately identified that the gems on the gem coral were all level three magical mineral aquamarine.

Because this kind of aquamarine is full of the magic of the ocean, it is often used by wizards to artificially build ocean spaces. It is said that if it is top-grade aquamarine, the price is even higher than the third-level magic crystal.

"I go!"

Before he could say anything, the lotus elf flew over, picked up all the aquamarine, and presented them to Cloya like a treasure.

"Master! Look!"

As a lotus elf that devours desires, it can certainly feel that Cloya has desires for these aquamarines. Everything can be faked, but desire is the most real thought.

So it immediately went to pick up the gem.

"Not bad, thank you."

Cloya took the gem, examined it carefully, and praised the little lotus elf with satisfaction.

This caused several other elves to become quite dissatisfied, and they felt that this guy had stolen Kloya's favor.

They flew directly around, and soon, they flew back one by one holding different things, and piled all the shiny things in front of Kloya.

"Crash..."

Although the elves look small, they are actually very strong, not to mention that they also have some innate magical powers.

It was a really huge pile of stuff, all kinds of gemstones, including aquamarine, Nayte sapphire, Best diamond…

This pile of magic materials alone is definitely worth thousands of magic crystals.

Croix looked at the pile of gems and felt that his eyes were dazzled. This... this happiness came too suddenly.

For a moment, he was even a little worried about how to use these things.

Fortunately, the angel spoke in time: "Lucky friend, you can collect more gems, and I will help you open the Ark Garden and give you a special magic plant."

"Magic plants grown with gems?" Kloya's imagination exploded.

"Yes……"

As soon as the angel finished speaking, Kloya suddenly felt a huge surge of magic power in the distant sea, which washed countless sparkling stones onto the sea and scattered them like flowers from heaven.

He was very familiar with the appearance of those stones.

That is clearly magic crystal ore, and there seems to be some second-level magic crystals and... blue moss in it?
