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

Chapter 209 209. Maizi's Rice Making Technique, Level Member
In Cloya's imagination, there is basically no hope for ordinary wheat to influence the natural world, not to mention that this is a fantasy world with magic.

So the wheat he planned to use to create the so-called miracle was the Poseidon barley and Poseidon wheat that he had researched - the Poseidon wheat was also transformed into a magic plant by him in the same way.

And after research, these two crops can now be grown on land and can be considered amphibious crops.

The wonder he wanted to build was based on these two kinds of wheat, affecting the concentration of magic power within a certain area, and then affecting the evolution of magical beasts and magical plants.

This was not a spur-of-the-moment idea, I just suddenly thought of a suitable way to use it.

During his observations of the North during this period, he discovered that the magical beasts and magical plants in the North had a tendency to grow and evolve, which seemed to be due to the sudden surge in magical power in the North.

The magic power from the ocean was accumulating throughout the entire northern territory, and even some abnormal changes had occurred.

For example, some wolves, tigers, and other creatures became irritable and restless due to the accumulation of magic power, and actively attacked humans.

Magic power is indeed a good thing, but too much sudden burst of magic power will definitely not bring good results.

He was worried that such changes would have an impact on his farming business, so he asked Telai River, hoping to get some answers.

As a result, Telihe told him that this change was nature's way of adjusting and digesting the magic power. There was really too much magic power from the ocean.

Such changes will continue until this abnormally increased magic power is completely consumed or some magical beasts and plants that can devour this magic power evolve naturally.

When Croa learned about this, his first reaction was to see if he could use some method to get some of the magic power to help nature digest it.

But after thinking it over carefully, he gave up.

The reason is that he now has too much magic power, including magic crystal mines, magic veins, the regular output of the ether wolf, and the overflow of the ocean...

Even the Orpheus Swan Recorder Tree is now saturated, and all the excess magic power has been put by Cloya into the energy storage tree purchased from the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce.

Since he didn't plan to take the magic power, he had to consider how to guide the magic power so that the magic beasts and magic plants could evolve smoothly without affecting himself and nature.

Make sure that what evolves is beneficial.

In order to ensure that he is on the right path, he needs to communicate with nature before formally implementing the plan to see what is the most appropriate way to do it.

"I have an idea……"

He chose to tell Mi Feiyin about his plan. Although they had only known each other for a short time, he could feel that Mi Feiyin was trustworthy.

Besides, Miffin's knowledge and experience were exactly what he needed. He urgently needed to know more about the earth and nature, which would be helpful to his future.

Of course, another reason is that Cloya wanted to test whether Miffin knew about the mother goddess' curse on Poseidon's barley and wheat.

So what he said was very vague and was just a prototype of a plan.

After hearing his plan, Mifeiyin's face showed more and more surprise, even comparable to the expression he had when he saw the Mother Goddess in his dream inside the light curtain.

The bishop was surprised and said, "No one has ever cultivated Poseidon barley and Poseidon wheat into magic plants. If you can really cultivate them successfully...

I would like to apply for a medal from the church for you."

His expression was not fake.

Croix could also sense that he was expressing his feelings sincerely, and he probably didn't know about the problem with Poseidon's barley and wheat.

Both the symphony and the Orange Ode attest to this.

This made Cloya feel even more confused. If even the bishop of the church didn't know that barley and wheat were cursed by the Mother Goddess...

Could it be that this matter involves higher levels of the church?

He suppressed these doubts, without showing any expression, and continued to ask:

"This is just something I plan to try. Do you think it's feasible?"

"of course."

Miffin answered without hesitation: "This is also the practice in the church."

"We will actively intervene in natural changes to ensure that all living things on earth can reproduce freely."

"Mother Earth looks after everything."

“Friends, we humans are also part of nature.”

"Only our friends from the elves would believe that... nature is above all else."

The last sentence made Cloya's heart move, and he suddenly understood.

Yes.

Recently, he has been thinking about the magical plants and beasts that survive in nature, but has ignored the existence of humans in nature.

This could be due to something he was exposed to.

Whether it is the Orpheus Oak or the Terai River, the natural consciousness is dominated by nature, and humans do not occupy a large position in it.

However, Mifeiyin's words can only be used as a reference.

Because what this guy said is likely to involve the doctrines and creeds of the Church of Mother Earth, and I need to consider it carefully.

Knowledge must be digested and filtered before it can become what he needs and only then can he walk his own path.

But thanks still have to be given.

"Thank you for your advice."

Croa thanked him very sincerely.

As a result, Mi Feiyin smiled slightly, and then changed the subject and invited: "Would you like to join the church?"

"If you agree to join me, I am willing to personally lead you through the path of the Mother Goddess, to become a priest... and to make you a bishop when I sit on the Jade Seat."

He looked at Kloya, his golden hair sparkling with divine light, and his eyes were filled with anticipation.

Pure like a child's sincere desire for something, without any impurities.

Croa: “…”

This is a very high price. The position of priest is second only to the bishop, which means that Cloya will become a high-ranking official in the church as soon as he enters.

He even promised that Kloa would be able to sit on the position of bishop in the future - the Jade Seat is the position of the Archbishop.

It is equivalent to letting Croa take over his position when he moves up, and the future is even more promising.

Among the seven mainstream holy spirit gods believed in by mankind, Mother Earth is second only to Light. The status of a bishop is much higher than that of any prince or nobleman.

It was a good idea, but Cloea still chose to refuse.

He shook his head: "I am immersed in the study of magic, so I probably can't serve the Mother Goddess."

"That's a pity." Miffy heard the firmness in Cloya's tone and did not mention the matter any further.

Smart people don't embarrass each other.

"It seems to be quite late."

"I have arranged for dinner to be prepared. Let's go now."

After taking a quick look at the sky outside, Cloya changed the subject and invited the other party to dinner - it was already night.

The two chatted for most of the day.

Mi Feiyin accepted it with pleasure.

"Ok."

Dinner reception is a very important part of aristocratic hospitality etiquette. Basically, when arriving at a place, one will have dinner with the host.

Afterwards, the two came to the clean and tidy restaurant and started eating.

This time, the food provided by Kloya did not come from the sea, but various vegetables and fruits that he had planted during this period of time.

Among them, Mi Feiyin’s favorite is not the stir-fried vegetables and mushroom soup, but...

“I didn’t expect that pine nuts could be used together with corn to make dishes.”

The blond boy held a spoon with a satisfied look on his face, chewing slowly and enjoying the sweet pine nut corn.

These pine nuts are from the dwarf flame pine that he bought from the Lord of Flame Mountain, and the corn is the product of his ripening.

The former has a deep red texture after being peeled, and combined with the light yellow corn kernels, it has a very stunning visual effect.

Of course, the taste is also very good.

Just look at how fast Miffin eats.

He seemed to have a special preference for sweets, not only the pine nut corn, but also the candied sweet potatoes and fermented rice balls on the side, which were all consumed visibly.

The speed of dining can be said to be quite fast.

The knife, fork and spoon in his hands almost had afterimages.

It's even more exaggerated than a swordsman's sword dance.

Croa watched how fast he ate and silently told the kitchen to continue preparing the dishes - knowing that he had already prepared the dishes according to the appetite of a transcendent.

The plates and soup bowls in front of Miffy were both oversized, yet he still ate so quickly.

All I can say is that when a transcendent person reaches a certain level, he or she is really a little less like a human being.

In the end, Miffy ate about 30 kilograms of food by himself, but his stomach still showed no signs of bulging.

Although he ate a lot, he ate it very cleanly. Not even any soup was left. The plate was as clean as if... it had been licked by a dog.

Perhaps because he felt a little embarrassed after eating, he forced Cloya to give him a few earth crystals that could only be found deep in the earth. Then, the two of them left.

Miffin and the other Sons of the Harvest went to rest at the residence arranged by Croa, while Croa himself returned to the laboratory.

He was about to start his own experiment.

……

In the laboratory.

Inside an enclosed room covering approximately half an acre of land.

Warm sunlight poured down from the spotless white ceiling, illuminating the barley and wheat growing thriving in the soil below, with their surfaces showing a mixture of golden and azure colors.

Their leaves and stalks are somewhat crystal-like, and at first glance they even have a bit of jade texture, which makes them look magnificent.

"How's the data?"

He stared at the carefully grown barley and wheat and asked aloud.

"It's almost mature. The magic power content of each wheat plant is about one-tenth of the standard first-level magic crystal..."

The Shark Tower Spirit immediately presented a data in front of Cloya, which contained all the magic fluctuation curves and required magic data of the wheat from planting to maturity.

After reading it carefully, Cloya nodded thoughtfully and said, "Have you chosen a planting location?"

"After surveying and comparing the environment with the mushroom people brought by the apprentices, planting here may be the best option."

The map on the side showed a territory called Maigu Territory.

As the name suggests, this place is a valley surrounded by mountains, with a total area of ​​only about three hectares.

Before, the people living here basically had little communication with the outside world, and they only supplied their crops to the lord of Wheat Valley on time.

The most common crop they planted was wheat.

Of course, it’s just ordinary wheat.

After Cloya took over this place, he ordered the earthworm team to take the wind-eroded sandworms to drill a hole directly from the other side of the mountain and create a passage.

This makes it easier for him to manage his territory.

The environmental changes here are relatively huge in the entire northern territory.

Some of the native sheep and cattle there were mutating, and the monsters were changing at an exaggerated speed - their body shape, personality, magic attributes...

The valley seemed to have a fast-paced plug-in and was changing so rapidly that it was completely unsuitable for human habitation.

The angel once told him vaguely: the ice and snow will melt, the magic will revive and mutate.

After the extreme cold, it seemed that the earth and nature would adjust certain areas and locations, but the changes in Wheat Valley were particularly fast.

Therefore, Maiguling is also the best experimental site.

"……let's start."

After going over the idea in his mind, he looked at the endless barley and wheat in front of him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to engrave.

He chose to engrave two carefully selected magics.

One is the "rice making technique" in the meal making technique, and the other is the elven magic "Deer of Tranquility" given by the Orpheus Oak, which was learned through the Four Elements Summoning Technique that he learned not long ago.

The former's ability is to gather magic power into cooked rice. As long as there is a supply of magic power, it can ensure sufficient satiety and regulate its own magic power.

Although it looks inconspicuous, it is actually a very advanced magic in the category of meal making.

As for why wheat is used to make rice...

It can only be said that this is just a bit of Croa's bad taste. He wants to see what the mutation of this magic will look like.

If there is such a thing as magic rice in the future, I will also make something like magic bread.

The latter is able to summon a special elemental creature called "Quiet Tree Deer" from the natural plane. This elemental creature has basically no attack capability, and its only ability is to release a special magic called "Quiet Rain".

Within the coverage area of ​​the Serene Rain, although there is no guarantee that there will be absolutely no fighting, it will be relatively more peaceful.

This was what Cloya thought after seeing the effect of the tranquil area inside the beaver dam - perhaps nature itself did not want the monsters to fight, and regulation and balance should be very important.

"According to my thinking, after the transformation is successful, all that remains is... the recognition of nature's consciousness."

While he was engraving, he was thinking about what to do. These barley and wheat were cultivated by him from seeds, and were waiting to be engraved at all times.

He can do two things at once and do it very quickly.

Soon, the engraving was completed——

[Engraving successful, Sea God Barley and Sea God Wheat (Rice Making Technique)]

[As the magic plant grows, it will gradually combine its own fruit with the magic of rice making, and after it grows and matures, it will directly turn into edible rice that can be cooked by steaming.]

[After eating the fruit of this magic plant, you will have the effect of harmonizing your own magic power and absolute satiety. 】

After the engraving was completed, visible mist suddenly rose from the surface of the wheat and barley in front of him, which looked normal at first, like steam.

Moreover, the ears of wheat have grown a whole circle larger.

There was a very strange mixed aroma of wheat and rice coming from the air.

"They are ripe." The shark tower spirit reminded.

What this means is not only that the wheat is ripe, but also that... "the rice is cooked."

If there wasn't another mark, Cloya would probably have tried the taste of the rice made from barley.

While he was waiting, another seal finally took effect—

The mists emitted by barley and wheat were clearly separated, swirling and tangling in the air, and eventually transformed into two... deer about half a person's height.

The color of their body is a very peculiar combination of golden yellow and beige, specifically a golden background with beige stripes on it.

The same is true for antlers.

"Wow, Milu!" Cloya's eyes lit up.

As soon as the two deer appeared, the crossed antlers on their heads began to flash with some light, and they held their heads high.

There was a long deer cry.

“Yo Yo~~~~~”

Amid their cries, the full ears of ripe wheat suddenly shrivelled up, and the mist became thicker and even turned into clouds.

Suddenly, raindrops began to fall all around.

Croa widened his eyes slightly and reached out to catch the "raindrops" in front of him.

It is a "rice grain" about the size of a soybean, with a golden base color and off-white stripes on the surface.

It exudes the aroma of wheat and rice, which does not seem abrupt or strange. Instead, the mixture makes people feel hungry.

“This smell is too fragrant.”

Croa licked his lips and decided to taste what it tasted like, so he threw the rice grains directly into his mouth.

After chewing it for a while, you can taste the softness and fragrance of rice grains at first, followed by the aroma of wheat. Generally speaking, the texture and taste of rice grains are the main ones.

But I have to say that mixing these two tastes together really gives you an indescribable pleasure - the satisfaction of carbs plus carbs?

"Take this rice and feed it to the monster." Kloya ordered the Shark Tower Spirit to take some rice and feed it to the monster to try.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Shark Tower Spirit agreed.

After feeding the monsters, it would observe carefully to see if there would be any changes in the monsters that were irritable and restless due to the overflowing magic power.

If it is really as Kloya thought, these rice can be effective on monsters and can have the effect of regulating chaotic magic and calming emotions.

Then there is only one last step left.

He had already asked the angel in advance, and the sphere given by Miffin was actually an ancient magic device that could communicate with nature, and did not point to the belief in the Mother Earth.

And he has already found a treasure in the Shengquan Chamber of Commerce——

"Natural divination crystal ball."

Its function is to be able to predict certain natural changes. Adding the two together should produce some wonderful changes.

"buy it."

Kloya looked at the treasure that he had already set his eyes on, and then at its price of 20,000 magic crystals. After a brief hesitation, he decided to buy it.

There was obvious anticipation in his eyes.

After purchasing this, his consumption exceeded 100,000 magic crystals, and he was able to be promoted to the third-level member of the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce.

After he decided to purchase it, the holy spring suddenly stopped for a moment before continuing to flow.

The female voice coming from inside was filled with joy.

"Congratulations, you have now become a Level 3 member of the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce. You will receive the following benefits and a chance to win a lucky draw for a plane shopping trip."

Along with the female voice, a curtain of light slowly unfolded in front of Kroya, and the things on it made him open his eyes wide.
