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

Chapter 218 218. People with their own ulterior motives

In fact, the changes in the Atlantis Sea are currently only limited to the upper level of Semrio, and they are the uppermost ones.

The reason is that the mermaids used the magic power of the virtual god to form a huge magic circle, and the Titan creations in Star Town deliberately concealed it, so the impact was actually very small.

The Knight Commander took a moment to think before reacting: "Are you talking about the sea where the mermaids live?"

"...Will the elves' divine ship sink in there?"

Her expression was very subtle, as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"

The territory of the elves is actually in the sea outside the sphere of influence of the human race. Their shipbuilding industry can be said to be quite exaggerated, and the so-called "Shenzhou" is even blessed by nature.

No matter how strong the storm is, it should not be overturned or sunk.

So there is only one possibility.

"Of course it was sunk on purpose." Ikaros still had a smile on his face, but his words made the Knight Commander feel very uncomfortable -

"The ancestors had predicted that the mermaids would use the power of the virtual gods to suppress the natural consciousness in the ocean, so they deliberately used an Orpheus oak tree to carry the shattered natural consciousness."

“With the help of natural consciousness, it will possess legendary magical fluctuations, and its tree core will condense into crystals of the Atlantis Sea.

If it is used as a sacrifice, it will definitely heal the cracks in the earth."

After hearing this, the Knight Commander couldn't help but blurt out: "You did this on purpose, you are calculating the consciousness of nature, you are blaspheming the Mother Goddess!"

Well, now it's her turn to point at the other person and curse.

As a qualified believer in the Mother Earth, she certainly could not tolerate the other party using such a teasing tone to arrange the natural consciousness. It was simply like... deceiving and misleading the gods.

When she thought of these two words, she felt the faith in her heart tremble for a moment. She couldn't imagine that the omniscient and omnipotent Mother Goddess of Earth would be deceived in this way.

She had even taken off the Tear of Semrio from her chest, and the crystal green light was flowing around, forming clusters of thorns.

But the elf Ikaros did not move at all.

He smiled first: "Thorns, the source of all these disasters is thorns."

Then, he looked at the Knight Commander, or rather, at the empty space behind the Knight Commander: "Your Excellency Cardinal, are you really not going to persuade her?"

"!!!"

Bevseris was startled and was about to activate the Tears of Semrio directly, but suddenly she felt her fingers go weak and the crystal tears in her hand were about to fall to the ground.

Then, a slender hand wearing white leather mittens caught the teardrop that was about to fall to the ground.

A gentle voice sounded: "Sleep, sleep in the embrace of light until the filth is eliminated."

Even the most powerful consciousness would disappear at the sound of this voice. The Knight Commander's thoughts suddenly became blurred, and then he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep in a blinding light.

The lights formed a feather-shaped cocoon that wrapped around her. At first glance, it looked like an angel spreading its wings and gently enveloping her, but in fact, it was more like a cage.

In the dazzling light, a man wearing extremely elegant and complicated robes and a crystal crown on his head suddenly appeared here. He glanced at the Tear of Semrio in his hand and put it away without saying a word.

The halo that had been spreading from the crystal teardrops disappeared at this moment, and the magic that was maintaining it naturally disappeared as well.

Without the Tears of Semrio, the defense of the front-line base would completely collapse, and the Paladins and people living there would be torn apart.

Not only the Paladins, but also the pagans in Salt Mountain. As long as they all die, they can be sacrificed to obtain God's grace.

When the cardinal thought that his plan was about to succeed, a smug smile appeared on his face.

Then he looked at the elf Ikaros.

"The rudder is in your hands."

"Yes." Ikaros directly handed a small, handicraft-like rudder to the cardinal.

It was unclear whether it was a warning or a good show, but he had a playful smile on his face: "The mermaids are not easy to mess with."

"Under the holy light, those aliens will cooperate." The cardinal took over the helm with a calm expression.

"Oh, that's right. You want to eliminate dissidents and don't care about the mermaids... Yeah, that's awesome."

Ikaros clapped his hands lightly, but it was just the back of his hands, very perfunctory.

"Hmph." The Cardinal ignored him and disappeared into the light again.

In the huge room, Ikaros was the only one left looking at the cocoon of light formed by feathers. He walked closer to the cocoon, stretched out a vine from his sleeve, and inserted it directly into the cocoon.

The vines were like snakes, and they all penetrated into the cocoon. However, after entering, the surface of the cocoon did not change at all, as if nothing had happened.

"Let's go, now let's wait and see the show."

After doing all this, he slowly opened a space portal and left, leaving only the pure white cocoon covered with a layer of blood-red haze.

……

The sacred mine of Yavana.

The frontline base of the Kingdom of Nolant.

Celeste, who was peacefully enjoying a magic massage in her own mansion, suddenly felt something.

She reached out and grabbed it.

A golden ear of wheat fell into her hands.

Then, a space portal quickly took shape with the wheat ear as the center. After it was completely formed, a young man with golden hair walked out from it.

"His Highness Miffin." Celeste was a little surprised that the person who came was him.

After all, she was working in the Kingdom of Nolant, and the other party was the only direct descendant of the Kingdom of Nolant, born to King Nolant and the deceased Queen.

In the eyes of King Nolant, only this eldest son is qualified to inherit the kingdom. Unfortunately, he doesn't care about the power of the kingdom at all and goes directly to the Church of Mother Earth to be a bishop.

After all, compared with the status of a king of a small country and a bishop of the Church of Mother Earth, the latter is indeed more honorable.

So when she saw that it was Mifflin, she bowed to show her respect.

"Archmage Celeste."

Mifeiyin walked out completely and said seriously: "The Tears of Semlio have been taken away. The frontline base of the Holy See will no longer be safe."

"I will take over Knight Commander Bevocelis's position. I only hope that you can... contact the Lord of the Pit."

After a brief silence, Celeste smiled playfully, "How do you know that I have a connection with the Pit Lord? He is a criminal being hunted by the Archmage."

The beautiful wizard lazily lay on the soft bed, picked up a fruit, took a bite slowly, and the juice splashed everywhere.

She seemed to be completely relaxed.

Mi Feiyin said directly: “He is originally your Hell Walker, the contract is in your hands, and he will never come here without your order.

Grand Master, we should not hide anything anymore."

"The Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce wants something from the Yavana Holy Mine, so they've taken so much trouble to get you to set up a plan. Please speak frankly."

"In exchange, I will help you."

He held out his hand and said very sincerely, "We are all the same."

Facing this hand, Archmage Celeste simply squeezed it lightly, then released it as if avoiding a snake or scorpion. She also took out a handkerchief and wiped her fingers, wiping every one of them clean.

She muttered, "How ugly! Why do you have to shake hands?"

Miffin: “???”

Obviously, this "ugly" refers to his ugly appearance...

If he didn't need to cooperate with the other party now, and it wasn't the time to prove how good-looking he was, he really wanted to ask the other party, is he really ugly?
He took a deep breath and said, “I need to see the Pit Lord immediately. Since he can contact the cultists and bring the power of Zuggmoi to the main world.

Then he must have some ancient offering in his hand.

With the ancient sacrifice, I can locate Ellie's location. As long as I rescue her, the Orpheus family will not interfere in this matter!"

“No.” Celeste shook her head after hearing what he said: “It wasn’t him who actually opened the passage to the main plane, but the cultists.”

There was an indelible gloom on her face when she said this. Although the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce was indeed planning to steal the treasures in the Yavana Holy Mine, she would definitely not do something like opening a rift in the main plane and causing a demon invasion.

She also didn't expect things to develop to this point.

"...How is it possible?" Mi Feiyin frowned, "If those cultists really had such ability, they wouldn't be hiding here and there like rats in the sewer."

But Celeste didn't say anything, so he knew that she definitely wasn't lying. If she really wasn't lying, then things would be really troublesome.

If Ellie is not brought back, the Orpheus family will have sufficient reasons and excuses to intervene in this matter, and it may even evolve into a conflict between the elves and the church. The elves are really world-famous for protecting their shortcomings.

Seeing this, Celeste reminded again:
"And it's too late."

"Your Highness, the Cardinal is already on his way to the Atlantis Sea."

"Father actually let him in like this..."

As soon as he said this, he rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.

Yes, that is the cardinal of the Holy See of Light.

Even his father, the King of Norlant, had to bow respectfully in front of the other party. If the other party wanted to go, what right did he have to stop him?

Miffin's face turned even worse. He remembered that he still had fields to plant and research in the North, and that his wizard friend was also in the North.

But it was obviously too late to go back now, and there was no way he could stop it.

So he simply said, “You must have connections with the pit lord, so let’s cooperate.

I will stay on the ground, and you will lead the pit lord to find the treasure you want, and then rescue the elf Ellie."

This time Celeste did not refuse.

"I let him in ahead of time and set up the space anchor point. You should thank me, otherwise even you wouldn't be able to sneak into the Holy Mine without alerting the Abyss Lord."

She stretched out her hand and summoned a huge space teleportation array. The two of them went straight through the portal formed by the power of the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce and arrived at the area where the Lord of the Pit was.

This place is full of mycelium and monsters wandering inside the mycelium. It is located in the shallow mining area of ​​the Yavana Holy Mine.

The Yavana Holy Mine is one of the largest magic crystal mines in the continent of Semrio, and the entire mine covers an area of ​​100,000 hectares.

The complex maze-like roads deep in the mine and the areas extending downwards are several times the area above ground. Even the most experienced miners cannot say that they can recognize all areas.

This place can be called a magnificent city.

Therefore, even if the power of the Abyss Lord has eroded this place, not everything is under control. There are still humans living deep in some hidden mines.

For example, this is where the lord of the pit stays.

Unexpectedly, there was no mycelium here, just a wall separating them. It was very clean, and there was an extremely special magical power in the air, as if it was preventing the mycelium from entering here.

It forms a sharp contrast with the mycelium forest outside.

Both of them were a little surprised, but neither showed it.

Being able to resist Zuggmoy's mycelium containing the magic of the abyss, could it be that the Pit Lord has found some treasure?
At the same time, they remained silent, which resulted in no one asking questions. Miffin thought that this matter was a secret, perhaps a confidential matter of the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce; Celeste decided to wait until the matter was over before asking.

So they missed the quickest opportunity to find the elf Ellie.

Celeste hadn't contacted him for a while because she was worried that the fluctuation of magic power would be exposed, but now it seems that she was completely worrying.

"Please wait a moment." Celeste took out a magic device and activated it. After a while, a tall figure came over.

When he saw the two of them, his face showed genuine joy: "Lady Celeste."

"Thank you for your hard work. It must be hard to stay here." Celeste said gently, "It will be soon. As long as we can find the treasure, I will take you away from here."

She walked closer to him, patted his well-defined abdominal muscles with her fingers, and a gleam of pleasure flashed in her eyes.

In order to allow his master to caress him better, the Pit Lord deliberately inhaled to make his abdominal muscles firmer.

Miffin, who was watching this scene, was really trying to suppress his discomfort. How could humans and demons be like this? This was simply a way to be put to the stake!
In order to prevent his eyes from being further damaged, he decisively interrupted and said, “I have a divine weapon of the Mother Goddess in my hand that can directly reach the lowest level of the Yavana Holy Mine.

The things that Shengquan Chamber of Commerce wants should be there too, right?
In exchange, I need the ancient sacrifice in the hands of the cultists."

After exchanging glances with Celeste, the Pit Lord replied, "Okay!"

As his voice sounded, a group of tall and strong men who did not look like humans immediately jumped out from behind him, with sulfur flames burning on their bodies.

A moment later, they all turned into demons with bat wings and steel whip tails.

Their eyes were already filled with a violent desire for destruction.

After lying in ambush and farming here for so long, they can finally have a big fight - with the magic potion that can affect the mycelium given by the Star Spirit Master, they don't have to worry about the spores invading their bodies.

"…You will be punished sooner or later."

Miphiin almost choked when he suddenly saw so many demons. He took out an earth-yellow sphere with countless mountains on it, surrounding a bull-like head in the center.

"Mother God, please have mercy on me."

"Mother Goddess, please... forgive our transgression."

"Mother Goddess, please show us your wounds."

Mifeiyin devoutly injected his divine power into it, muttering to himself.

The sphere gradually melted, emitting an ochre-colored halo that enveloped all the demons present, and then dived directly into the ground, heading deeper.

Their goal is the deepest part of the Yavana Holy Mine. Only by finding the sacrificial vessel that the cultists use to maintain the gap in the main plane can they search for the location of the elf Ellie.

After sending away the demon and the great wizard, Miphiin sighed softly, straightened his robe, turned around and returned to the ground through the space portal that had not collapsed.

He also has to use his own strength to maintain the security of the Vatican's front-line base.

As long as those people didn't die... there would be no sacrifices, and he didn't believe that the cardinal would do anything to him.

……

at the same time.

Atlantis beach.

A white "sun" hung on the seashore, confronting a huge indigo sea giant that was several hundred meters tall.

Although the Cardinal could swagger into the Kingdom of Nolant, he had no way of directly breaking into the territory of the mermaids.

If the mermaids were really angered and attacked by him, there would be absolutely no chance of survival unless it was the power of the God of Light.

But fortunately... he has a token.

The cardinal took out the exquisite rudder and said loudly: "I am here to take away the sacred ship of the Elven Orpheus family!"

"This is a token of the agreement with your king!"

The Indigo Sea Giant looked at the token, opened its huge mouth, and uttered a dull voice: "Allowed to enter, please do not spy on the sea area!"

After saying that, its body shrank rapidly, wrapped around the rudder of the ship, and quickly entered the sea with the cardinal.

In just a few seconds, they crossed the vast sea and arrived above the sea where the Orpheus Oak sank.

And what was waiting for him here... was actually a very young mermaid.

The mermaid prince Treden, riding on a seahorse, raised his head proudly and looked at the cardinal in front of him, who was wearing a leather vestment with not a single inch of skin exposed except for his head.

He spoke in a defiant tone, "You should salute me, servant of light!"

The tone is really impolite.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

But the cardinal was very obedient, bowed his head slightly, saluted him, suppressed his dissatisfaction, and handed the rudder in his hand to the mermaid prince.

The latter took the rudder and threw it into the sea, muttering silently in his heart: "Teacher, please solve it quickly, I will hold him back first!"

After he finished muttering, he smiled a little and asked the cardinal curiously: "Will your gods not be angry if you betray the earth like this?

Haha, isn’t light one of the offspring born of the earth?

Betraying your own mother..."

He gave a subtle smile.

The cardinal was still observing the sea, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but get angry.

"This is not something you should care about, Your Highness."

After warning the other party, he waited for Shenzhou to rise without saying a word.

When Treden saw this, he knew he had said the wrong thing and immediately felt that his mother was really unreliable. This was clearly what she taught him, so why didn't it work?
Both the man and the mermaid were a little anxious.

At this moment, deep in the sea, a huge ship was about to set sail.
