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

Chapter 239: Friendship Seal, Banyan Tree Factory

Inside the Mage Tower on Hanjiao Island, Cloya smiled with satisfaction, pointed at the rotating houseboat model not far away, and said:

"So this is the assignment you handed in?"

The houseboat had been completely analyzed through the tower spirit's analysis system, and the magic plants, materials, and engraved magic patterns used on it were clearly marked on the side.

Obviously, Croa had studied it carefully, and judging from his expression, he seemed very satisfied with this fantastic idea.

Jamie immediately said, "Yes."

“I thought that no matter how solid the foundation is, it cannot withstand the impact of long-term flooding, so I came up with this combination method.

In my plan, I will use countless such houseboats to form a network, which will stretch out to form a channel at ordinary times, and once a flood comes, they will become ships floating on the water. "

As he spoke, he used the special ability of the Rainbow Grass Dream to materialize the picture he had imagined and displayed it next to him.

This is the advantage of dreams. Compared with dry language descriptions and on-the-spot drawings, whatever you think in your mind will appear directly and the description will be particularly clear.

Judging from the clarity and detail of the drawing, this was not a spur-of-the-moment idea, but was already memorized after a month of shipbuilding work.

That’s why it can be displayed so quickly now.

"That's great. You've broken through the limitations..."

Croa didn’t look at it carefully, but just glanced at it and nodded: “I feel relieved to leave it to you, go ahead and do it.

I don't care about the process, as long as the result satisfies me. If you need anything, please tell us here at Hanjiao Island in time, and you don't have to be polite to Lord Huisha over there.

We are now his largest food supplier."

His trust made Jamie feel heavy in his heart. You know, this was the first time that Hanjiao Island had carried out infrastructure work with external parties, and he was given full authority.

It was for this reason that he suddenly mustered up the courage to ask, "Sir, I saw many people selling slaves over there."

"You abolished this system in the North. Will it affect you?"

In the eyes of many nobles, buying and selling slaves at will is their power, and selling people like animals can prove that they are superior.

He had heard some things during his time there. It was said that those who did not buy and sell slaves were not even recognized as nobility.

"Ah?" Kloya asked in surprise, "Why do you think this kind of thing will affect me?"

He said with a smile: "The Mage Association has already tacitly acknowledged my status and even issued me the Grand Mage Badge. The royal family is also working hard to push Sir Kemoye to a high position.

They are afraid that a wizard like me will seize the power of the nobles. Now it is not my job to hide it, but they should take the initiative to help me cover it up."

He was very confident when he said this.

At the Yavana Holy Mine, he has tested the battle line formed by the cooperation of magic plants, and the effect is excellent.

Especially with the help of Orpheus Oak, who possesses tree-herding magic, the weakness of the magic plant that is fixed in one place and cannot move is quickly fading.

The elves already had this tactic. However, the magic plants cultivated by the elves could not specify certain abilities, but Kloya could.

He can completely combine the magic plants into a sophisticated machine, a war machine. It all depends on who is foolish enough to come up to him and let him test out his war machine.

Now he is even studying how to target the magic beasts and magic plants of the mages. As long as the mages below level four can be suppressed by him, the higher-level mages will not be a problem.

He has never lacked the ability to wage war - the Mage Association and the royal family should all know this, so almost no one dares to step into the North casually.

With strength comes confidence.

So, he said bluntly: "Don't worry about me, everything I do is what I want to do."

"What do you want to do..."

After listening to what Cloya said, Jamie was thoughtful.

Seeing one of his favorite apprentices lost in thought, Kloa said simply, "I am the one who helped you get out of this quagmire. Think about it, what can you do?"

After saying that, he waved his hand and asked Jamie to leave.

The words have been made so clear. If Jamie still doesn't understand, then there is really nothing we can do.

"I understand! Thank you, teacher!"

Jamie's eyes sparkled, and after saluting, he left this dreamland that belonged exclusively to Croa.

After he left, the Oak of Orpheus, who had been hiding nearby and pretending to be an ordinary tree, finally spoke:
"Human friend, what exactly do you want him to do?"

This whole thing was a bit too complicated for it, and for a moment it couldn't understand what Cloya was trying to teach Jamie.

"I just suddenly feel a little emotional." Kloya waved his hand casually and changed the scene in front of him to the ongoing Warcraft Magic Plant Competition.

Then he explained: "Most of the things in the world are beyond our ability to handle. We should all try to grow up and not become that kind of person."

"Hmm?" A small branch resembling a question mark appeared on the head of the Orpheus Oak.

Although it is not a human being, it can understand that this is the idea that many humans strive for to climb up.

Is this wrong?

Facing the curious gaze of Orpheus Oak, Cloya said slowly: "If it's just like this, it would be too boring. Jamie is a kind-hearted child. I want him to know...

Empowerment comes not from avoiding becoming that person, but from becoming that person so that others won’t become that person.”

This may sound a bit confusing.

There was obvious doubt and confusion in Orpheus Oak's eyes, but in the end he didn't ask any more questions.

It took the initiative to change the subject, pointing to the ongoing game, "So human friend, who do you think will win this time?"

"..."

I didn't expect that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, could be so awkward in changing the subject.

"As for me, keep an eye on this guy."

Cloya curled his lips and returned to his usual laziness, leaning back on the comfortable sofa. A cursor immediately appeared above the head of the person playing the game on the screen.

He was a young man wearing simple leather armor, running freely with a flame-tailed dog.

The Flametail Dog cooperated with him in a way that was like a confidant to him, whether it was picking fruits on the road, crossing muddy potholes, or facing a sudden savage beast...

Every cooperation is seamless, as if the man and the dog have established some kind of spiritual connection.

On this Flametail race track, they were almost the most dazzling cubs, overshadowing all the others.

They really enjoyed the feeling of being watched, and the smiles on their faces were brighter than the sun.

Chloë was also very satisfied.

"That's great."

"I remember that the Flametail Dog Race Course was the most rigorous in design. It not only tests the quality of the Flametail Dog, but also considers the owner's ability to adapt to changing circumstances."

"correct."

Ophis Oak nodded: "It's not easy to achieve this. He has never learned any magic to communicate with monsters. It all depends on the tacit understanding accumulated in daily life."

"It really deserves a reward." Croa thought thoughtfully.

The competition held this time was mainly for several kinds of Warcraft magic plants sold by Croa. Because of their different functions, they were divided into several different tracks.

For example, the task of the woodchuck is to tidy up their house as quickly and well as possible.

Azure Dove focuses on the accuracy and amount of healing magic - for example, how much magic power is needed to heal a small wound in the best and fastest way.

Bobcats are trained in their stealth abilities. This cat, which looks like a tabby, actually has a very strong ability to stealth and is a good assassin.

The magic plants were a bit troublesome as they could not be tested using the abilities of regular magic beasts, but Kloya still figured out a way.

Test the effectiveness of the soothing lily of the valley, especially its ability to calm the nerves. After being modified, this magical plant is most able to detect changes in people's emotions. If it is well cared for, it will also respond well.

But if you just water it and leave it alone, it will become wilted and lifeless.

The impact of peas is tested for accuracy and impact force; lavender is tested for efficacy; small potted pines are tested for the number of pine seeds produced...

In short, whether it is magical plants or magical beasts, Croa tries his best to arrange competitions suitable for them to display their abilities.

This competition has been going on for a month and it is estimated that it will take another month to end. At that time, Croa will personally distribute rewards to the winners and give their magic plants or magic beasts new abilities.

No one knows why Croa held a competition of this scale - such a strange world, and a huge prize money, it's simply given away for free!

But he himself was deeply happy. Because...

He has seen initial results.

The young man was running with the Flametail Hound, and the magic wrapped around him and the Flametail Hound's magic reached a very subtle resonance.

This magical power is intertwined and fused.

In the mind of the Flametail Hound, a glowing mark that looked extremely similar to the young man was slowly taking shape.

Its color is like that of an old, mottled and faded black-and-white photo that is gradually being refurbished, becoming full of color and more vivid.

The tall flametail dog's mind was filled with the shadow of this engraving, which had even begun to spread to every part of its body.

The power of magic not only affects its mental strength, but also transforms its body.

Through the evolved Astral Body Imprinting Technique, Kloya was able to sense its properties—

【Sean and Robert's spiritual resonance.】

【Composed of spiritual magic, special magic resonance. 】

[My friend, I will take you running on this land, enjoying the sunshine and rain, and welcoming storms and rainstorms, until we can no longer walk or jump! - Sean]

[Woof woof woof woof! —Robert]

[This seal is not yet complete, and more power is needed for irrigation. 】

This is a very special engraving.

It has no clear description of its function, and even how it was formed and what kind of magic patterns are inside it cannot be seen clearly.

But it does exist, and it’s very effective.

After observing carefully for a while, Cloya was able to confirm:

Sean, the young man, and the flametail dog named Robert, their almost telepathic abilities all come from this wonderful imprint, just like a resonant piece of music, their coordination is perfect.

'Let me see if I can influence it.'

After discovering this, he tried to use his mental power to perceive and influence, but... the Astral Body Imprinting Technique did not work so easily.

It's not that it won't work, but this magic seems to be instinctively unwilling to affect this wonderful engraving - if Kloya forces it, it can work.

He stared at the man and the dog running around, and asked the Orpheus Oak tree next to him, "Friend, in the legends of the elves, can telepathy be achieved without the intervention of external forces or magic?"

Upon hearing this, Orpheus Oak glanced at the screen and explained, “It is said that there are, but it requires a very special environment, almost like getting along and treating them like family.

If they live in harmony for a long time, their magic and spiritual powers will intertwine, just like humans can recognize their relatives at a glance. "

"Friendship magic?"

"It can be understood this way."

"Wait, you're saying this human and that flametail dog have friendship magic?"

At this time, Orpheus Oak suddenly reacted and looked surprised: "It's only been a short time, when did he buy the Flametail?"

"Seven months."

"…Seven months is enough?"

Now even the Oak of Orpheus was a little uncertain.

You know, even for the elves who are born with natural affinity, it takes a long time of living together day and night to achieve this kind of friendship magic.

As a result, a human who was just a level one warrior actually succeeded. This was indeed a bit beyond its imagination.

"Maybe this is fate." Kroya smiled and said, "It looks like he should have no problem getting first place. When this competition is over, I will formally invite him to join Hanjiao Island.

Since he and the Flametail Hound have such a close relationship, how about calling him the Dog King Sean?"

"My friend, is this already decided?" Orpheus Oak teased, "Then help me take a look at this, can it also be decided?"

It waved its trunk, and the scenery beside it immediately began to change, and an extremely fantastic scene appeared -

It was a banyan tree that didn't look very huge, but its leaves were as crystal clear as jade, and its hanging aerial roots were all condensed from elemental magic power.

The banyan tree grows directly on the water surface. Just one tree covers about twenty acres of water surface, as lush as a forest.

On the ground where the roots of the banyan tree converge, there grow countless tulips, and the roots of the tulips have merged with the roots of the banyan tree.

The light cast by the banyan tree's leaves covers the tulips, allowing them to grow freely in the sunshine.

The bright red tulip flowers, which look like a sea of ​​​​fire in the sky, are filled with nectar, and bees are flying around, collecting nectar from time to time high up in the banyan tree's crown.

In the first layer of the tree canopy, the flowing magic power is like the test tubes and crystal bottles in a laboratory, refining the nectar collected by the bees into honey crystals.

Finally, the elves flapping their butterfly wings will transport the honey crystals away and place them at the top of the tree canopy to receive the final blessing.

The blessings bestowed upon these honey crystals were some dust like the sunset glow, which was carefully and evenly sprinkled into the honey crystals by the butterfly elves, tinging the already fiery red honey crystals with an even more magnificent glow.

It is truly magnificent.

Overall, the banyan tree looks like a huge factory that is continuously producing this special "sunset honey crystal".

At a glance, Cloya saw the huge magic mark inside the banyan tree, which he had carved for the banyan tree when it was still a seed.

Now, as it has taken root and sprouted, it has gradually expanded to the entire trunk of the tree.

【The Banyan Tree Factory in Croa.】

[This seal is a combination magic, the current magic combination is: -
Leaves: Kloa's sunlight refraction, magic plant soothing spell, and magic connection spell.
-
Tree roots: Magic tentacles and magic plants breed symbiotic magic.
-
Trunk: Magical stratification, Seven Stars Separation, and elementary elf summoning.
-
Tree crown: Powerful magic purification and liquid crystal magic. 】

[The magic has not yet been fully integrated. ]

[After the fusion is complete, the magic plant will change into its form. ]

"You want me to pick you as the first one?" Kloya smiled.

This was not the only magic plant factory he had attempted, but this one was personally managed by Orpheus Oak.

The rest are groups formed spontaneously by apprentices and are still in the embryonic stage.

After all, letting some low-level wizards compete with such a powerful god-favored one... to be honest, it's a bit of bullying.

Seeing Croix's half-smile, Orpheus Oak smiled awkwardly and decisively changed the subject:

"I don't know how you cultivated it. This banyan tree was originally used to build a floating town, but it turned out to be like this."

It was very emotional: "Now it is self-sufficient, cultivating tulips and having butterflies and bees produce nectar."

"Hasn't that little girl Ellie already placed the first batch of orders for you?"

Morning dew and sunset glow both have extremely special meanings in the civilization of the elves. The elves are all more artistic than the nobles, and they have almost no resistance to this beautiful and delicious honey.

Kloya just gave her a little to drink, and the latter placed the order without hesitation, and asked for as much as he could, and quoted a high price of one first-level magic crystal per milliliter of honey.

If the quality is particularly good, you can double it.

"Of course I have special methods for training you. If you want to learn, then work hard."

After saying this in a serious tone, he continued:
"Although the price is high, I don't really care." Kloya lay back and said, "What I care about is being able to trade directly with the elves."

"After all, speaking of the entire Semrio continent, the elves are the best at cultivating magic plants and magic plants."

The Oak of Orpheus was still thinking about what Chloe had said - could it really learn it?
But it didn't ask, and just continued: "After this batch of honey is shipped over, the other party should be more willing to give in. Maybe a special elf will come to visit and negotiate with you."

"That's just right."

“This batch of honey is expected to be completely produced in another month, and the Gray Desert and the competition should be finished in a month.

After a month, it’s time to get busy with the harvest~”

The wizard's words sounded like complaints, but the satisfaction in his tone could not be concealed, and there was even a smile.

The Orpheus Oak is also looking forward to what the results will be in a month.

The man and the tree looked at each other and smiled, and decided to stay here for another month, and then go together to pick the fruits of the harvest.

Time has always been generous to them.
