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

Chapter 258: The spoils of war, the key to the floating island
The post-war process proceeded quite quickly.

With the help of two high-ranking insiders, the Duke's army was unable to cause any waves and was completely suppressed by the team of knights and mages led by Robert.

Those who were lucky enough to survive were captured, and the souls of the dead were dispersed and buried on the spot. In just half a day, the military camp was completely buried under a thick layer of soil.

As if nothing had happened, lush green grass and shrubs will cover the place.

All the mages were entangled by a wriggling purple-red vine, and the thorns penetrated deeply into their flesh and blood, blocking the circulation of magic power.

The knight warriors and the Nar monsters were all put into special cages and guarded by the knights themselves to ensure that they would not have the chance to resist or escape.

These knights, mages, and warriors who were usually high and mighty experienced the feeling of being prisoners at this moment. They didn't even dare to ask Cloya to give the nobles the comfortable treatment they deserved.

Because they had seen that another group of knight mages who had been flirting with Ian and Artos for a long time had basically escaped without any hindrance.

"They did it on purpose! Hanjiao Island and the Duke's son have collaborated!"

Saw this scene.

They knew that even if they managed to survive, it would be impossible for them to get any rescue from Olivier and the Nar family, or in other words... it would be better not to live.

He was involved in the struggle for power among the nobles, but those nobles would not care so much.

They were dragged to Hanjiao Island.

Soon, the specific list of people was handed to Cloya.

"Seventy battle mages, fifty Gnar monsters, thirty second-level knights, and thirty second-level warriors."

After taking a careful look at the list, Kroya instructed the returned Ta Ling: "Detain them separately on Kufa Island and Zhuli Island.

Ask them to explain as much as possible about the knowledge and martial arts they have learned. Whoever tells more will get better treatment. "

These are the people brought by the Duke, and they should all have some knowledge to a certain extent. Even the most scattered knowledge inheritance can become a classic as long as it can be integrated and compiled.

"Ok."

After playing outside for a while, Ta Ling is now full of motivation and immediately arranges these trivial matters.

After the arrangement, it said: “Rob wants to step down as steward and his family is coming back soon.

He wants to make up for the regrets during this period and enjoy himself with his family.”

Kloya was slightly stunned: "Is that so? That's good too."

The wizard temporarily put down what he was holding, thought seriously for a while, and stretched out his hand to write and draw on the crystal board in front of him.

Then he said to Talling: "Do as arranged above. Rob has helped me so much, he should enjoy a leisurely life in the second half of his life."

Ta Ling took a curious look at the crystal plate, and saw on it a series of unimaginable exaggerated arrangements and generous treatments, such as "solar magic array treatment", "mermaid song adjustment", "island construction and decoration", "custom-made full-body magic devices" and so on.

This was tailor-made for Robert by Cloya based on his current abilities. Even the king could not enjoy it.

"You are so kind to him."

After expressing its feelings, it immediately made arrangements and then transported some sundries over through Mu Yao Qu Teng Wang.

It was a small mountain of staffs, books, various small magical devices and amulets.

The aura of magic flickers on it, and even though it is piled up like a pile of garbage, it is hard to look away.

Kloa glanced at Tarling in confusion.

"What do you want to do for me?"

Ta Ling immediately said: "These were found from the captives."

"I have screened them, and the ones I send to you all have some magical power. Master, don't you want to experience the fun of counting the spoils?"

There was a clear hint of instigation in its voice, as if it really wanted Cloya to look through the pile of spoils.

After hearing what it said, Cloya looked at the huge "garbage dump" in front of him again, and suddenly found it very pleasing to the eye.

"Then I'll take a look."

Kloya simply reached out and started flipping through them. He first took out a pile of magic books recorded by mages, which were full of the combat mages' own spellcasting experiences.

For example, a simple magic like fireball has a different understanding in every book, and there is even a way to cast a war array.

"A complete array of battle mages." Kloya's eyes lit up. He had not thought that such a thing could be recorded in its entirety in written form.

You should know that even the Mage Association never keeps any written or paper files. Everything is remembered by the president in case anyone needs to be indoctrinated with canned knowledge.

"Maybe they never thought they would be captured." Ta Ling said, "After all, they are the Duke's men. In the Kingdom of Norlant, even the King cannot enter the Duke's territory at will."

"That's possible." Kloya nodded, threw away the book he was reading, and ordered bluntly: "Help me sort out all the magic in these magic books."

"Pay special attention to the battle mage array inside. Once you have sorted it out, give it to the apprentices in the Golden Apple Paradise and let them try it out."

"..."

"You are getting lazier and lazier."

Tarling complained, and diligently began to organize the magic in the magic book that Kloya had thrown over - it scanned all the text and images on each page, and then began to organize and repair them through its own attached intelligent array.

Its main task is to adaptively screen and modify those magics with obvious subjectivity, at least to modify the requirements of magic power, mental strength, etc. to a level that most people can use.

While it was being sorted, Cloya was not idle. He first flipped through the magic book roughly, and then circled the part that interested him.

Time passed slowly.

After Cloya finished reading one magic book after another, he threw them to Talling. They divided the work and quickly read most of them.

You know what, Cloya actually found some very interesting magic in it.

For example, there was a battle mage who could not learn to fly no matter what he did, so he found a new way and added the basic spell of Mage's Hand to the Flying Carpet spell.

It is equivalent to using the wizard's hand to support yourself to fly. Although it is far less free than flying, the consumption of magic power and mental power is greatly reduced, and the learning difficulty is not high.

There was also a battle mage who was extremely confident in his ice shield technique, and he even maintained it while sleeping. As a result, he unexpectedly discovered that the ice shield technique had merged with his mental power, and it carried a deep chill of ice magic.

It is incredible that the magic has changed from an ordinary spell that can resist some physical attacks to a magic that can resist mental attacks.

In addition, there was a female battle mage who used Hydration, a magic that could prevent the magic power of a magic circle from leaking, on herself. As a result, her appearance and skin remained in the same form as when she cast the magic.

I even found a copy of "Mysteries of Death: A Beginner's Guide to Necromancer."

In short, these magics made Cloya marvel.

Alternative flying skills, mental protection magic, beauty preservation skills...

He suddenly realized that although he had provided the apprentices with resources that even the Mage Association could not provide, he had neglected a more diversified education.

If the apprentices were allowed to express themselves freely in different environments, it might bring him more surprises.

So, after flipping through the magic book, he thought for a while and said to the tower spirit: "Let the apprentices choose for themselves whether to go out of the northern border for the trial."

"When you go out, everyone must bring a bottle made of sun crystal and the neural mycelium produced by the mushroom man. Even if you die, you can still enter the Hall of Heroes."

"You must also bring enough supplies."

He gave a somewhat rambling explanation.

"As ordered."

Ta Ling immediately went to make arrangements.

And Cloya continued to search for useful things in the treasure, carefully studying those magic tools, writing and drawing from time to time, striving to make some more useful magic tools.

He was so absorbed in studying magic that he seemed to have forgotten something, but he just squinted his eyes and thought about it for a moment before not caring about it.

……

the other side.

Estner and the royal representative Mibeka have entered the Northern Territory. After entering the Northern Territory, they were closely escorted and guarded by the apprentices.

The apprentices did not try to hide their presence at all. They simply surrounded the car they were riding in and even requested air fire support.

If there is anything unusual, it is estimated that what is falling from the sky is the fire from the sky.

Of course, this was aimed at Mibeka, not Estner - most of the current apprentices were former serfs and commoners, and they really didn't have a good impression of the royal family.

Especially after being invaded by two dukes, they are now extremely distrustful of outsiders.

Mibeka sat in the comfortable convertible golem car, facing the bleak autumn wind in the north, with a curious look on her face.

She looked left and right, her eyes lingering on the straight road below the car for a long time, until her eyes became blurry and she moved her eyes away.

The white road looks like a road to worship God.

"Master Estner, this place..." The princess considered her words carefully: "Was it created by the great wizard alone?"

You know, such roads are rare even in the royal capital, let alone in the marginal areas far away from the royal capital.

The North is of course well-known to the royal family, and the royal family has also sent some people to investigate the North's strength.

But after many attempts, all failed. Even the elite spies and wizards in the royal capital were unable to extend their tentacles into the northern border. It was like a magical barrier here, and anyone who came in would be discovered.

So it was the first time she saw the changes in the North.

Simply stunned.

Estner glanced at the princess and chuckled, "Of course, this was all created by my friend Cloa himself."

"Please fasten your seat belts, because with you here, we will take another route into the depths of the North to reach Hanjiao Island."

"Huh?" Mibeka was slightly stunned.

Then she suddenly felt that the car below her body seemed to "leap up, and then drove steadily towards the sky. Under the car, the originally white road seemed to become a little darker.

Looking closely, it seemed to be a road made of pure white clouds - the surrounding scenery had changed, and the exquisitely built houses and street lights along the way had completely disappeared, replaced by thick clouds.

The clouds drifted with the wind, but they always blocked their sight and made it impossible for them to see the scenery beyond the clouds.

"..."

No matter how stupid Mibeka was, she realized that she could not see the specific situation in the north. In her mental perception, there was a powerful magic circle around this road.

It is estimated that even a sixth-level magician would not be able to penetrate it by force, so naturally he would not be able to see what is outside the clouds.

She smiled bitterly and said, "I still come here with the goodwill of the royal family!"

There wasn't much anger in these words, just helplessness.

After all, the other grand dukes basically have the same attitude towards the royal family. The saying that the wind can come in, the rain can come in, but the king cannot come in is not just talk.

"It's pretty nice here." It was the first time that Estner saw this cloud road that was built specifically to deal with visits from outsiders.

He lay directly on the soft seat, his eyes lingering on the dazzling clouds around him illuminated by the sun, watching the clouds roll and enjoying the cool breeze.

It must be said that this experience seems to be better than being down there.

Mibeka had no choice but to enjoy the rare experience of moving forward on this pure white cloud road.

As a "special road for welcoming guests", there is actually not only unchanging clouds and fog here. There are some exquisite buildings in the looming clouds and fog.

It was an architectural style that Mibeka had never seen before. The pavilions made of white jade were full of simplicity and natural harmony, as if they were meant to exist in these clouds.

"so beautiful."

“This is what the Kingdom of God looks like.”

She couldn't help but sigh, and as she continued to look carefully, she saw that the creatures living in those buildings were actually strange winged snakes.

They shuttle tirelessly through the clouds, as if they are busy with something, and only when they are tired will they go into the quaint buildings to rest.

"What are they doing?"

Mibeka's curiosity was immediately aroused.

But unfortunately, no one answered her question. The car quickly passed through the road created by the Phantom Feather Cloud Snake and arrived at the destination at an extremely fast speed.

That is the welcoming hall on the seaside.

Miffin stood at the door, looking at the sky.

Next to him stood the apprentice Semir who was ready to greet the guests. The mayor of Hanjiao Town asked curiously, "Mr. Mifeiyin, why do you insist on letting them walk up there?

In fact, if you ask, they can use the road below to get here."

Hearing this, Mi Feiyin smiled and said, "That won't do. After all, she is a member of the royal family. Even if she is my sister, she cannot just spy on the northern border."

"The development here is really great. If the royal family knew about it, they would definitely do something stupid."

"I used to be a member of the royal family, so I know them very well."

Samir: “…”

Isn't this just telling yourself that you are not a good person?

He didn’t ask any more questions, but Miffin looked at the young and somewhat exaggerated mayor and continued, “Mr. Robert has already told me that he plans to retire.

I think you will have to take over the future affairs. You just stay with me during this period, and I will tell you everything I know."

"Ah? You want to teach me in person?" Samir blinked and asked in surprise, "Rob is going to retire?"

His heart suddenly started pounding - Robert was retiring, so was he going to take over the castle's stewardship?

"Yeah." Mi Feiyin nodded: "His son and wife will be back soon. He plans to resign as housekeeper and enjoy life with his family."

"Kroya personally planned his life after retirement."

The young bishop showed an envious look on his face: "It would be great if I could have a piece of fertile land like this to rest after countless years of hard work."

He was really a little jealous.

You have to know that even in the Church of Mother Earth, it is basically impossible to truly rest. You have to devote yourself to God until the end of your life.

Semir scratched his hair and said, "It's very simple. When you want to rest, just tell Master Cloya.

Will His Excellency refuse your request?"

"..." Mi Feiyin blinked and suddenly felt that he might have really thought too much.

Yes, would Croa refuse his request?

When he thought about enjoying his retirement life happily, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face, which made Mibeka, who came by car, look puzzled.

Isn't this her brother?
She had never seen Mifflin laugh like that before.

Mibeka called out hesitantly, "Brother?"

"Yeah." Miffy's expression changed rapidly after seeing her, returning to that warm but somewhat distant smile.

"Don't call me brother, Mibeka dear."

"..."

Seeing this, Mibeka was sure that this was her brother, and he hadn't changed.

……

After picking up Mibeka and Estner, Mifiin personally led them across the cross-sea bridge and arrived at Hanjiao Island.

Then I saw Cloa rushing over.

After all, it was a matter of giving himself a token of the Duke, which was somewhat important, so Cloya took the time to rush over.

"Master Croa."

Mibeka did not delay and took out the things she brought from the royal family - a scepter engraved with a map of the North and a small platinum compass.

"This is your scepter. You will be the Duke of Hanjiao in the future. The other one is the key to the floating island that the royal family promised to give you."

Cloya took the two things casually, glanced at the princess of the royal family, and said with a smile: "You are also a guest, let Mifeiyin take you around and bring some gifts back."

"I will take care of the mermaid issue."

"Estner, please follow me."

After saying that, he disappeared with Estner. There was only a faint, almost imperceptible spatial fluctuation in the air.

Mibeka was stunned.

She had never met such a casual person.

It was Mifeiyin who patted her face and said, "Come on, what are you thinking about? Is the duke of a kingdom so precious?"

"If he hadn't brought the key to the floating island, he wouldn't have had time to see you."

"..."

The princess once again clearly realized Croix's attitude and sighed deeply, without feeling that the royal status was offended or anything.

After all, strength is everything.
