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

Chapter 233 233. The Sincerity of the Orpheus Family
A magic circle for long-distance transmission has already been built at the World of Warcraft Magic Plant and Combat Pet Shop. After all, with the increase in cargo flow, a stable magic circle is indeed needed.

Cloya can't use the Holy Spring Crystal Card to deliver the goods every time. It may be okay at the beginning, but as more and more stores grow in the future, a space magic array will become necessary.

So traveling has become very convenient.

At this time, Ellie had already arrived at Hanjiao Island through the space magic circle.

Rob, the butler, who had not personally received guests for a long time, came to greet her.

"Ms. Ellie, please follow me."

As Robert's power in Croa grew, he no longer feared anyone.

After all, the little mermaid prince would come over to play from time to time, and you could often see angels and elves flying around...

After seeing it so many times, of course I find it boring.

"Excuse me."

Ellie does not have the arrogance and disdain for humans that are common among elves. Her family education does not allow her to be like that.

There are basically no stupid children raised by a truly deep-rooted family. The deeper the family's background, the better they are at speaking and the more graceful they are.

Robert looked at Ellie with some surprise, and took her through the long tunnel to the reception room.

"Please wait here for a moment. The master will be here soon."

"Ok."

Ellie watched the butler leave and looked at the surrounding decoration calmly - the floor was made of red wood, the walls were covered with off-white wallpaper, and the objects on display included porcelain, black and white scrolls, and some incense burners emitting wisps of fragrance.

The decoration of the entire reception room was something she had never seen before, but for some reason it felt quite comfortable and formal.

“The decoration is pretty good.”

She mumbled something and picked up the snacks that had been prepared.

This snack looks quite small, and has some strange square words printed on it.

The round pancake looks like a full moon.

It is said that this is called...moon cake.

The name and appearance can really be linked.

She was drinking the new milk tea and eating mooncakes, and soon she saw Cloya walking in from outside.

The latter smiled and said, "How do these snacks and milk tea taste?"

“It’s delicious, but not too sweet.”

Considering the elves' daily diet of eating dew from flower petals, the taste is relatively bland.

"I'll have someone make some more that suits your taste. You can take it away and eat it."

After Cloya finished speaking, he sat down at the main seat: "You want to meet your oak friend."

"..."

Ellie hesitated for a moment and shook her head: "No, it will be free in the future. I believe it doesn't want to have anything to do with the Orpheus family anymore."

"I think so too." Kloya nodded and said without disguising, "It is equivalent to repaying the kindness of its birth with its own body and soul. It is better not to see it again in the future."

"You are so cruel, Mr. Croix." Ellie smiled bitterly.

"I just feel sorry for our friend Oak. After all, I am telling the truth. Do you think even the truth is harsh to your ears?" said Cloya.

"..."

Knowing that she couldn't win the argument, Ellie decisively changed the subject, took out something from her portable space magic device, and placed it on the table.

"Take a look at this first."

Chloe followed her movements and looked over.

It was a laurel wreath woven from emerald green branches, with a four-petal flower on it, as smooth and white as jade.

At first glance, it seems quite ordinary.

But upon closer inspection, it seemed to contain an extremely powerful magic - Cloya even felt the magic of "The Eternal Hymn" from it.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch the laurel wreath woven from laurel branches, and heard a voice.

That voice was full of sunshine-like vitality, magnetic and affectionate——

“But I will always love you, and I will make a laurel wreath out of your branches, make my harp out of your wood, and adorn my bow with your flowers.

At the same time, I will grant you eternal youth and the freedom from growing old. "

When the voice sounded, Croa suppressed the Phoebus robe on his body and stared at the flower crown without any change in his expression.

Ellie at the side asked anxiously: "Did you feel anything?"

The owner of the laurel wreath is one of the ancestors of the Orpheus family, but she is in a deep sleep. If she can be awakened, the whole family will benefit greatly.

Croa did not answer, but took up the laurel wreath, which gradually changed shape in his hands until it formed a small harp.

It was a golden, seven-stringed harp with four-petal laurel flowers blooming on it, emitting golden light.

"!!!"

Ellie's eyes widened.

This was the first time she had seen someone other than the Orpheus family able to awaken the power of the Laurel Wreath.

But when Cloya placed his fingers on the strings and tried to pluck them, an extremely resistant consciousness came from the strings.

The consciousness inside refused to let him play himself.

"why is that."

Kloya didn't understand, so he activated the Astral Body Imprinting Technique to take a look. He found an arrowhead inside the laurel branch. The arrowhead was blunt, but it was deeply embedded in the astral body of the laurel branch.

Obviously, this is another seal from God.

It was this arrow that suppressed Laurel's acceptance of his magic and closed his heart.

"The water is deep, and why is there no warning this time? Is it because the seal itself is not here?"

After seeing the reason, he pretended to sigh helplessly, put down the laurel wreath, spread his hands and said: "It seems that I have no other choice."

"Ms. Ellie, what on earth is this?"

——This is actually a good thing. Just now, under the influence of the magic wave, he almost subconsciously started playing it. God knows what will happen after playing it.

Now that I can let it go and understand the whole story, the rest of the things will be easier to handle.

Hearing his question, Ellie did not hesitate and explained: "This is a laurel wreath woven from branches of an ancestor of our Orpheus family. Legend has it that she once fell in love with a star god.

The god bestowed her eternal blessing but did not give her lasting love. She turned into a laurel tree and waited ever since.

According to the tribe's books and scrolls, only the song of the sun can awaken her.

I will not hide it from you, the reason why Mr. Beorel was able to gain tacit approval was not only because he could heal the wounds of the Mother Goddess, but also because he predicted the light of the sun. "

Having said this, she looked at Cloya meaningfully and said bluntly: "The last thing you played with the Angel of the Lyre was the music of the sun."

"It was accepted, but it was totally useless. A copy is no match for your own performance."

Kloya wasn't surprised or anything when he was recognized.

In fact, there are many meditation methods pointing to the sun, and there are also many meditation methods with magic having solar attributes - the most important thing is that the other party has not publicized this matter for a year, which means that they don't want to say it either.

Seeing that Cloya's expression hadn't changed at all, Ellie could only tell him the last bit of news: "Don't worry, Ms. Ilist has warned the elders in the clan that this matter will never be spread."

These words finally made Kloya's expression change. He didn't expect to hear this name.

Iliste, the legendary wizard.

It was a little strange that she would speak for herself.

After a brief moment of surprise, he immediately thought: "Master Ilist is from the Orpheus family?"

"That's right." Ellie nodded: "Ms. Ilister is indeed a member of our Orpheus family, and she is also the master of the Great Wisdom Palace.

Mr. Beoril is just one of her subordinates."

"She also asked me to tell you that after entering the star realm, you must choose the star region she governs. She will be happy to help you apply for a territory on the Genesis Star Ring."

"..."

Kloya couldn't help but rub his brows.

Star realm?

I am only level five now. If I want to travel in the astral realm, I need to reach at least level ten, which is the level of a great magician... And why does she think so highly of me?

To be honest, although I got some things from her ruins, we never had any direct contact. Could she know about it just by taking a few things?
He looked at Ellie with a puzzled look. Ellie clapped her hands and thought of something: "I heard from Ms. Ilist that you let her meet an old friend she likes very much. She is planning to take that friend away to reminisce about the past."

When Croix heard the word "old friend", his eyelids twitched wildly and he instinctively felt that something was wrong - could this be the knight?
He has already gone to the underworld, can you please let him go?

Croix could only pray that the Knight would escape this time. "Is that so? I didn't expect that Lady Ilister would pay attention to a little wizard like me."

He smiled modestly.

With the information provided by Ellie, he was able to barely figure out the matter. It turned out that the root of everything was because he wanted to awaken the laurel tree.

The elf named "Beoril" was able to predict that he would play a duet with the Angel of the Lyre. He must be very powerful.

So, the laurel tree is very important to the Orpheus family.

So……

"Although I have the magic power of the sun, as you can see, the laurel tree itself resists my magic, and I cannot exert any power."

"Besides, what price do you want to pay for me to help you?"

Croa said directly: “As things stand, I don’t think that the Orpheus family and I are friends.

You even secretly accepted my music, haha."

They are all evil adults. Since they are willing to pay such a price to get a song of the sun, of course I will raise the price.

Friendship?

Well...he didn't have a very good impression of the Orpheus family.

As for the music, to be honest... the music he played himself and the music he recorded were completely different.

He already knew this, if he could learn music by just admitting a piece of music, then why would music magic be so rare?
"It was indeed our fault regarding the admission of the movement."

Ellie nodded and said, “Although the laurel tree has rejected your power now, this also proves that your power is indeed effective on it.

I have brought some tokens of friendship, though they are not very valuable, I ask you to accept them.”

She took out three things from the space magic device and placed them on the table. They were a book, a bottle of seeds and a... Holy Spring Crystal Card.

The first two were not obvious at first glance, but the last one, Chloe recognized it.

There is a line of numbers on it: [special-Ⅷ_XVI].

He himself has a plane called [small-IX_Ⅲ], and this new crystal card should represent another plane.

It is worthy of being a family of elves. They give gifts directly from one dimension.

Seeing that Kloya's eyes stayed on the crystal card for a few seconds, Ai Li introduced: "You should have seen that this is the plane crystal card of the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce.

"This is what our ancestors obtained through a trade with the Shengquan Chamber of Commerce. As for what is inside, I have no idea. You can only study it yourself."

After keeping the secret a secret, she pointed to two other items and said, "This is a sheet of music written by a powerful bard, and the other is a banyan tree seed made by our Orpheus family."

"Music score?" Cloya's heart moved, and he opened it without hesitation and took a look. Sure enough, he saw familiar handwriting.

It seems to be of the same type as the "Melody of Softly Flowing Springs" that the Oak of Orpheus gave him, both of which are about water.

Its name is: "The Raging Waterfall".

This is a defensive magic, and a very exaggerated defensive magic at that. With the help of magic power, it can release a magic shield like a waterfall.

As long as the magic power exists, it can block all attacks, even divine power.

"What a powerful magic."

Kloya couldn't help but sigh. At first glance, this was just a defensive magic, but if it involved divine power, it would be too exaggerated.

You must know that there is mutual restraint between forces.

It turns out that this thing can block all attacks as long as it is used... To be honest, if there were no other people here, he would have wanted to give it a try.

"Yeah, I think so too."

Ai Li smiled and said, “This banyan tree is the result of research by an elder in the family. It can build a town on the water.

But the specifics still depend on the training method.”

She didn't say much. The biggest feature of this magical plant is uncertainty. If it is cultivated completely according to the way of the Orpheus family, it would be too boring.

He had heard that a banyan tree could form a forest out of a single tree, and he had always wanted one, but had never gotten one. He never expected that he would get one now.

He was very satisfied, so he nodded and said, "These three gifts are indeed very heavy. So, what exactly do you want me to help you with?"

“We are working hard to unlock the seal of the Laurel Ancestor, and when it is unlocked, the elders of the family hope that you can come to the Orpheus family.

If you can awaken the ancestor, you will gain the friendship of the House of Orpheus until the end of time."

"Oh."

"I'll consider it when you remove the seal."

He did not agree directly, but gave an ambiguous answer.

Friendship, haha.

Unless some kind of eternal and unchanging contract is truly signed, this friendship is meaningless. Who knows what kind of unexpected changes may occur?
"Okay." Ai Li nodded: "We're done with business. I still have a piece of sheet music as compensation from my family.

Can I invite you to play with me?"

Her eyes were sparkling, and she was obviously looking forward to it.

Chloë’s first reaction was, “You want to record my music again?”

Ai Li was helpless: "...This is my personal invitation. I swear in the name of the God of Nature that I will never record your music."

Now that things have come to this, Kloya obviously has no reason to refuse - he also wants to see more of music magic. Even the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce does not have many of this special magic system.

So he simply extended his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Then let's go to the place where I often play."

Having said that, he took Ellie out of the reception room and came to an ordinary island through a space magic circle.

This is an island the size of a football field. There is no life on the island, it is bare. The only special thing is a tall rock.

There was a cushion on top of it.

Kloya sat on it without hesitation, then slapped the ground with his hand, and another rock suddenly rose from the ground.

But there is nothing on this rock.

Ellie didn't despise it and flew directly to the rock, threw a music score to Cloya, and then took out her harp.

She reached out and plucked the strings of the harp.

Along with the rapid piano music came the wind, or more precisely, a strong wind - a small tornado appeared beside her and flew quickly around her.

It gradually grows larger as it flies.

Eventually, it turned into a catastrophic tornado.

The sea water and the fish in it were all swept up by the tornado and flew away roaringly.

"..." Cloya saw this scene just after reading the music score, and kindly reminded: "Take it easy, this is the mermaid's territory, are you really not afraid of being captured by the mermaids?"

The piano sound paused for a moment and became gentler.

Taking advantage of the pause, Croix took out an ordinary spare harp and started playing as well.

But the wind he played was not the violent wind that Ellie played, but a distant wind - the blue wind elements gathered to form feathers, flying towards the distance, carrying his special understanding of music and blessings for the ocean.

In almost all areas where this feather passed, the slightly violent wind on the ocean stagnated, became gentle, and blended into the blue feathers.

In the end, even Ellie's tornado was completely assimilated by this force. The huge tornado turned into scattered green phoenix feathers, carrying the fish that were rolled up back into the sea.

For a moment, Ellie's piano music had completely become a foil to Croa's. Even her magic power was assimilated by Croa, turning into blue feathers flowing with light, floating towards the sea.

The creatures in the sea were all eager to devour the feathers. They scrambled to jump out of the water, opening their mouths wide to swallow the feathers made of wind elements.

The fish that are lucky enough to swallow the feathers are surrounded by wind, and their swimming and jumping speed and distance are significantly improved.

Seeing this scene, Ai Li finally faced the reality.

When she saw Chloë playing with the Angel of the Piano, she wanted to challenge him, so she came here specially.

I didn't expect that his ability was so exaggerated that he could even completely assimilate her piano music and magic power.

"I surrender!"

Ellie put down the harp decisively and shouted to Cloya, "I will study hard, and I will come back to play with you when I get more music!"

After saying this, her figure faded into the emerald green light and eventually disappeared without a trace.

Kloya was the only one left on the island. She put down her walnut harp and shook her head, “You ran so fast. I can’t ask you any more questions.”

Forget it, I'll go back and see what I've harvested this time.

The birthday party has to start..."

He didn't stay for long and left directly.

QAQ I can only update once today because I was called away in the evening.
