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

Chapter 194. The Silver Moon Disappears, Changes in the Outside World
The end of the direction pointed by the Grass of Wisdom is actually the only mermaid mother who lost her child.

She was currently sitting on a rock by the sea, quietly looking at the scenery in the distance, with no tears or anything on her face.

But this expression of not being able to show even sadness is the most painful, it is completely suppressed in the heart.

Cloya watched for a while and could clearly feel her sadness. The melody of emotions in her heart had become gloomy.

The races are different, but the sadness is the same.

"Go ahead, go ahead. The boss gave you the power of the virtual god!"

The grass of wisdom that looked like dogtail grass shook again and threw a strange emblem that looked like a claw to Kloya.

Then it shook its body, immediately shrank back and disappeared.

Only the emblem was left in Cloya's hand, flickering with light of varying brightness, like the changing and flowing phases of the moon.

Croa looked at it, a strange look in his eyes.

I made a wish to a false god? Are you kidding me?
"This is……"

"A miracle!"

The surrounding mermaids immediately gathered over - the tail had not yet turned into legs, so it was jumping around, which was really funny to watch.

They looked at the dog paw-like emblem in Cloya's hand with surprise, but they all tacitly remained silent.

The little prince of the mermaid tribe said thoughtfully: "This seems to be... the mark of Lord Xushen's guardian beast."

As a royal family of mermaids, he was born with almost complete knowledge of the mermaid clan available for reference.

For ordinary people, Mermaid would have to work very hard to learn successfully, but for him, all he had to do was to thoroughly study his inherited knowledge.

After all, bloodline is indeed one of the most unreasonable things.

The little prince tried to stand on the tip of his tail and looked at the mark in Cloya's hand curiously. He was even more puzzled: "Brother, how did you get it?"

Kloya smiled slightly: "Maybe it just likes me?"

The little prince actually nodded seriously.

"Master Xushen seems to really like you."

"After all, I did him a big favor."

After that, he walked over to the female mermaid and said, "Your God will grant your wish."

To be honest, he had no intention of being a "confidant brother" and he had no interest in the mermaids. Mermaids were indeed pleasing to the eye, but... it was just a look.

He simply couldn't understand what on earth was going on with anyone who would have any thoughts about the mermaids, even though the mermaids were really beautiful.

Both men and women are handsome and beautiful.

But he just couldn't understand it, and of course he didn't have any desire for it.

"..."

"Can you really give it to me?"

The mermaid mother's face was filled with surprise and disbelief.

She looked at the dog paw-shaped emblem in Cloya's hand, her eyes sparkling as if she had seen a treasure from the whole world.

"Yes." Croa casually handed her the dog paw emblem: "This way I can be satisfied too. It's a perfect ending."

"I refined your Water Crystal, and I also hope to see a perfect ending."

After saying this, he suddenly felt the gazes behind him become extremely hot - they were the gazes from the female mermaids.

He suddenly felt that he might have said something wrong, but he remained calm and looked at the mermaid mother thanking him profusely.

Watch her make a wish to the emblem.

The light moonlight immediately shone down from the sky, penetrating directly into the ocean, with waves and tides surrounding it.

A little mermaid gradually emerged in the moonlight.

Finally, she was hugged by her mother who was trembling with excitement.

The mother and daughter cried together.

Cloya, who watched the entire scene of the mother-daughter reunion, smiled slightly.

A soft yet majestic female voice came from beside him.

“Don’t make wishes to God lightly.”

The sound was both obvious and not obvious. It brushed past Cloya's ears and disappeared into the moonlight.

"!?"

Croa turned his head sharply and saw the blond mermaid looking at him, smiling and saying, “I want to hand my son over to you for care. He is the representative of our mermaid tribe.

The land is wailing as we influence it.

We have to restore it, but we don't know how.

So I can only leave it to you, my son Treden will help you."

Her expression was almost exactly the same as the Mermaid King's, as if she had not said those words just now.

The Mermaid King's princess said that gods cannot be trusted... well, this is really a bit scary.

Croix temporarily suppressed his doubts, pondered over what she said, and said in a tangled way:

"..."

"me?"

"But the northern border of the Kingdom of Norant is not the sphere of influence of the Mage Association. If a mage like me rashly intervenes..."

His meaning was very clear.

After all, the mermaids are an alien race, so how can they interfere in the affairs of the human race? If this really gets out, someone might say that he is colluding with aliens.

"Don't worry." She smiled mysteriously, "The army and mages of the Kingdom of Norant should have already rushed to the Yavana Holy Mine.

Besides, whether the Kingdom of Nolant can continue to survive is also a question.

They have no time to manage the internal affairs of the kingdom, so you can just place your forces in the northern border of the Kingdom of Nolant.

This is the promise between the legendary wizard Danterian and us."

This sentence really made Kloya stunned - can it survive?
Although he had no sense of belonging to this so-called kingdom, a stable environment was still very necessary for him.

If a large-scale war really breaks out, it will be extremely miserable for the poor farmers.

The mermaid queen noticed Chloe's astonishment.

She took the initiative to explain: “There are some problems at the Yavana Holy Mine, which need to be solved by people from the Kingdom of Nolant.

Now it depends on whether they can solve it.

If we can't solve it, we'll all have to fill it up. This is our responsibility, just like us mermaids have to purify the sea."

Croix nodded.

"I understand."

He decided that after he got out, he would quickly understand the situation outside, and at the same time quickly support Viscount Kemoye to take the position and make him a fiefdom earl in the north as soon as possible.

Although his territory is in the ocean, construction also needs to be done outside to at least form a buffer line of defense to prevent possible events.

……

After asking for some more details, Kloya took the little mermaid prince Treden away from the fetal sea.

What made him speechless was that although this guy said he was going to stay with him, he actually brought two guards with him.

The two guards were both tall mermaids. Like most mermaids, they didn't like to wear clothes. They had streamlined and strong muscles, and held staffs made of coral and pearls in their hands.

Although the staff looked more like a giant hammer.

It was even more exaggerated than the "Holy Hammer of the Code" used exclusively by combat priests that he had seen in the book "Miracle of Light".

In addition, the princess secretly gave Cloya a space clam shell, which was filled with a hundred Oro pink pearls produced by the fifth-level magic clam.

This unique pearl is a treasure of pure water element.

As long as it is placed in a certain area, it will continuously emit magic power and sea water suitable for the mermaids to survive. It is a treasure specially cultivated by the mermaid royal family.

To put it simply...it is to build a house for the mermaid prince.

Cloya thought it was normal for a mother to worry about her child, and he had no intention of misappropriating the money. It would be nice to go back and build a fish tank for him to live in.

As a result, when they were about to leave the Taihai Sea, King Michael also sent something, which was a blue anemone.

From Cloya's observation, the water element magic in this thing is extremely abundant, and its vitality is extremely strong, it seems to be no less than that of the Orpheus Oak.

The mermaid who received the anemone from the mermaid king Mihaly said, "This is the Aurora anemone, which will be used as a bed and food for His Royal Highness the Prince."

"You just need to irrigate them with water element magic, and they will split on their own. The split sea anemones can be eaten directly or used as beds to sleep on."

"Of course, it is also the main ingredient necessary for making a potion. This is the potion formula. Please accept it."

The mermaid, who was wearing a deep blue robe that was probably made of seaweed, handed a piece of parchment to Croa before bowing.

Croa: “…”

One of you will give me a house and the other will give me a bed and food, right?

How afraid I am that I won't be able to take good care of her.

Also, why didn't they send it together? Were they afraid that each other would know? Mermaids are just hypocritical.

He had no choice but to accept these anemones. He was quite interested in this special thing. After seeing him accept it, the mermaid saluted again:

"After this period of time, the king will arrange for someone to discuss with you more matters concerning the purchase of Water Essence."

"Goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and swam into the sea, disappearing.

Thinking that everything was fine, Croix turned around, but before he could take a step.

A small grass of wisdom popped out from the ground like a mushroom and jumped directly onto Cloya's shoulder.

He touched Cloa's face with his dog-like body.

It said: "The boss said that I can follow you. There are still many places in the sea outside that need to be purified."

"...Okay, then follow me."

The Grass of Wisdom nodded happily and jumped onto the hair of the little mermaid Treden.

The latter looked confused.

Then I started chatting with it in whispers - the content of the chat was some topics such as when the moonlight is the brightest and when the moonlight is the most comfortable.

As Croa listened, he led the two of them into the vortex passage.

Finally returned to his own Hanjiao Island.

The little mermaid Treden is still very curious about the outside world.

After obtaining Croa's consent, he took out a jellyfish-shaped magic device from the shell hanging around his neck and rode on it.

The jellyfish carried him swayingly and flew towards the sky.

Kloya watched him and the Grass of Wisdom leave, told King Mu Yao Qu Teng and several elves to keep an eye on him, and then entered his own castle.

Lie straight on the comfortable sofa bed.

Put everything else aside for now, sleep is important!

……

While he was sleeping.

The outside world has also undergone tremendous changes.

First, the cover that covered the entire sea area finally disappeared, and the wind from the sea area completely blew over the entire northern land.

The moonlight and the big blue trees also disappeared, as if it was a dream.

After the people stationed at the Hanjiao Island Pier sensed it, they immediately sent people to rush over through the underwater tunnel and report what had happened during this period to Robert and Shark Tower Spirit.

Twenty-one days is not too much, but not too little either.

Without the news and support from Hanjiao Island, they were actually quite nervous.

Fortunately, Father Kevin and his colleagues stayed at the dock temporarily, one to guard the Flower of Mammon that had not been delivered to Croa, and the other to wait for the next order from the Knights.

With five holy knights staying here, even if there is a little danger, it can be easily resolved.

But they couldn't stay any longer.

When the wind blew over from the sea, orders from the Salt Mountain Knights also came over.

The Knights ordered them to go to the Yavana Holy Mine immediately and assist the armies from the two countries under the Holy See to establish a base.

The situation at the Yavana Holy Mine is very bad.

It is almost impossible to directly eliminate those cultists and the minions of Lady Fungus with thunder and lightning, so we can only start the battle there.

So they urgently need to see Cloa.

They thought that since Cloya was able to deal with the Mammon Vine, he might also be able to target the infection of Lady Fungus. If Cloya really had a way, it would definitely be a good thing.

So after the barrier in the sea disappeared, they wanted to rush to see Cloa as soon as possible.

But before they entered the sea, a huge water element appeared at the beach and said in a serious tone:

"The Atlantis Sea is the sea area of ​​the mermaids. No extraordinary beings can enter without permission!"

The moonlight flows on its body in a cycle, as if the silver moonlight and the blue sea were merged together, and an unfathomable magical power is brewing in its body.

The leader of several knights, a powerful fourth-level knight, suddenly changed his expression when he saw the water element.

This is the Moon Sea Guardian of the Mermaid Tribe.

The sources of its power are the boundless sea and the moon. As long as these two exist, it cannot be destroyed. It can also cast many kinds of water magic and divine arts.

Even a level ten cardinal or archmage would be severely beaten by it if they came here.

It can be said that within the sea area, no one can defeat it except the eleventh-level grand magician, knight commander, swordsman, and higher-level legends who carry some powerful magic devices.

Father Kevin couldn't help but ask, "We want to see Cloya!"

"If Lord Croa invites you to enter the sea, then you may enter." The Moon Sea Guardian still stood in front.

But the way it addressed Croa made several people look at each other in bewilderment.

Lord Croa?
What happened during this period of time? How did Cloea become an adult?
To be called by the Moon Sea Guardian...

Did he marry a mermaid princess?
……

the other side.

King's capital.

After finishing his work for the day, Estner took a sip of the sweet and mellow Morning Dew milk tea and leaned back in the large and comfortable chair.

"I don't know when it will be restored... This milk tea is selling like crazy."

He smacked his lips, still feeling unsatisfied.

After the situation in the royal capital stabilized, Kloya's milk tea shop was opened, and it immediately attracted the attention of mages.

They really can't resist sweets.

And speaking of which, Estner also contributed to this——

Ever since all the mages in the royal capital left, the operation of the entire royal capital fell on the shoulders of these little mages.

Honestly speaking, although the Mage Association is more of a transcendent existence and hardly has any say in matters, it is in the royal capital after all, so there are always some troubles to be had.

The departure of the senior mages left them with no choice but to allocate positions based on status.

As a result, as a sixth-level apprentice of Archmage Celeste, Estner naturally became the temporary president of the association - a seventh-level mage has no apprentices.

As the temporary president, the milk tea shop that he was in charge of naturally became the focus of the mages.

No one dared to cause trouble and sales were very good.

By the way,
Although all the predecessors have left, the power is now in the hands of some young wizards, and the speed of handling affairs has increased.

After a short period of hard work, he quickly adapted to the current work pace and even handled it quite well.

He looked at the scenery outside the window - the bright sunshine fell on the continuous towers and castles of the Mage Tower. This ancient and heavy Mage Guild seemed to be coated with a layer of gold in the sunshine and became vibrant.

"I don't know when... huh?"

Estner suddenly felt something and quickly took out his Holy Spring Crystal Card.

A gentle and intellectual female voice sounded:

"The blockade on Master Hanjiao has been lifted. You can communicate with him now. We apologize for any inconvenience caused."

"back to normal."

He thought about it and sent a message to Kloya, planning to meet and communicate in person when the latter was free.

After all, no matter how much you send messages, it’s not as quick as meeting in person.

After dealing with this matter, he was just about to close his eyes and take a rest when something suddenly came out of the owl-shaped mailbox in front of him.

It was a letter from the Heraldry Department of the Royal Capital.

“Oh, there is so much work to do.”

Estner sighed helplessly, picked up the letter resignedly, opened it and looked at it, his expression became very strange.

"Requisition of food..."

He sighed deeply again, not knowing what to say. At this time, grain was requisitioned nationwide and even offered titles in exchange.

Has the situation outside become so corrupt?

They actually had to rely on requisitioning food to get through the difficult times.

The most important thing is that this order was issued personally by the prince who is currently staying in the royal capital on behalf of the king. This bizarre order could actually pass the Heraldry Academy and require the help of the Mage Association.

That means... the situation has become very serious, so serious that the nobles in the capital have abandoned their prejudices and given up their own interests in order to resolve it quickly.

After all, to be honest...the great nobles definitely have more land and food reserves than the mages.

The fact that this matter was not resolved internally but was leaked out is a signal in itself.

Estner thought about it for a moment, then passed the order to the association, waiting for the mages to discuss a result and see whether to help or not.

At the same time, he was also looking forward to Cloya waking up.

It's hard to tell anyone about this, only Kloya can talk about it freely.
