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

Chapter 286 286. I want to keep a low profile!
She knew very well that this place was definitely under surveillance - wasn't that what the Mage Tower was like? It was said to be free, but in fact everything was under surveillance.

She spent so many magic crystals in such a high-profile manner. If Kloya still didn't notice anything unusual, then the North would be like this.

A force's ability to control its own territory is a very important assessment point.

however……

After a few seconds, a clear voice sounded:

“Ms. Evelyn, you really guessed wrong.”

“If you hadn’t called Teacher Shu and given it permission, it would never have viewed your private space.

These are the rules I set for the North."

The sound paused and seemed to be getting closer and closer.

He was still in the distant sky one second, and appeared behind Evelin the next: “However, you have been under my surveillance since you entered the North.”

Evelin was startled and looked back quickly.

The Lord of the North, the Duke of the Reef, the Knight of the Holy Kingdom, the mermaids and the elves' friends were standing behind her, looking at her with smiles on their faces.

"..."

What kind of space magic is this? She didn't even feel any magical fluctuations. This was simply impossible in a magician's battle.

If you fail to capture the enemy's magical fluctuations, you will definitely lose the initiative in the battle, and you can even say that you have lost the possibility of winning.

A sense of fear rose in her heart.

The great magician frowned slightly: "Master Croa, appearing behind a magician like this... is a provocation."

As for mages, most of them are quite insecure. If someone like Kloya appears directly behind you, a more aggressive mage might start fighting on the spot.

But Kloya smiled disapprovingly.

"If you want to give me some advice, I'd appreciate it."

If a level 10 great magician heard such provocation from a mere level 6 magician, he would definitely start fighting on the spot.

Rebellion? This is absolutely unforgivable in the world of mages.

But Evelyn knew very well that since Cloya dared to say this, it meant that he was not afraid of her, and he might even want to use her to establish his authority.

If you win, it will be a case of bullying the weak and there will be no benefit; if you lose, it will be a real disgrace to the whole Star Town.

The very clever great magician sat directly on the soft carpet woven with unicorn fur and patted the side: "Come on, wizard friend."

"Business matters."

——She fully acknowledged Kloya’s status, otherwise a sixth-level mage would never be able to sit with a tenth-level mage.

"Tsk."

It’s a pity that he failed to beat up the level 10 mage, as he had made all the preparations.

Kloya felt a little disappointed. He walked over, sat down on the carpet, and asked directly:
"What kind of help does Star Town intend to give me?"

Evelyn replied: “First of all, it’s the help of knowledge.

You are now a sixth-level wizard, and you can learn magic up to the seventh level, as well as the corresponding alchemy tomes."

"I will give you the purchasing rights for all of these."

“Also, I know you should have purchased some books through the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce, but there are some magics that only we have.

For example..."

She stretched out her finger and waved it lightly in front of her.

The magical glow formed a round sphere, spinning lightly and emitting a mysterious blue glow.

“This is a wise man.”

"It is one of the sources of the water magic that was originally controlled by our friends from the Titans. Now, apart from the Titans, only the Star Town has it."

There was some pride in her voice, and she glanced at Croix, and indeed saw a hint of surprise on the latter's face.

With such unique magic, she didn’t believe that Chloe wouldn’t be moved!
Kloya was indeed a little surprised. The water magic that he had been looking for for a long time turned out to be here.

At present, he knew that: the Sky Magic was with the angel Mia; the Illusion Magic was with the mermaids; the Earth Magic was said to be in the collection of the Orpheus family. The remaining four types were still unknown.

The earliest batch of water magic was given by Eurydice. I thought it was taken away from this world, but I didn’t expect it to be in the Town of Stars.

It is impossible to say that you are not tempted. The properties of the Seven Stars Magic are extremely special. It is not the common elemental magic and it can have miraculous effects sometimes.

but……

"This should be equivalent to something extra, right?" He looked at Evelyn and asked, "What price do I have to pay?"

"I have to make it clear that although I really want to study water magic, I cannot agree to requests that are too demanding."

"If all else fails, I can contact the legendary wizard Ilist through my elf friends and inherit the water magic from her."

——His meaning is very clear, don't try to use this to control him.

"You are very smart, Master Croa." Evelyn smiled.

"As mages, we certainly won't force you to do anything. If someone tries to force me, I'll be angry too."

“But we have common needs.”

"Although Qunxing Town is in outer space, it is also concerned about the mainland. The current disaster on the mainland... we are also trying to find a solution.

You also don't want the churches of those gods to profit from this disaster and gain more faith in them, right?"

"Of course I don't want to," Chloe replied.

In fact, there are already people from the Church of God who want to enter the North to preach, but he has blocked them all outside the North. He does not want his people to believe in God.

That would become troublesome.

Evelyn nodded: "Then our needs are the same. Star Town does not want those gods to dominate the faith of the Semrio continent."

"The power of God is called a miracle, and a miracle cannot be copied or even reproduced."

"For us mages, miracles are not a good thing. Too many people rely on miracles, so they don't want to learn to gain power, but only want to seek help from gods."

Croix agreed with great conviction.

This is indeed true. Belief in gods breeds laziness, and the church deliberately fosters this laziness. In their view, the more brainless believers are, the easier they are to manage, and the more likely they are to become fanatics.

From Croa's point of view, the Church of God has even become a cancer that hinders the development of the world - because people dare not study the power of God no matter what.

The book that Miffin brought back was clearly a banned book in the church.

Since the conversation has come to this point, Kroya directly said: "I am also a mage, of course I will participate."

"But my strength is far from enough to confront the church head-on, and I will not confront the church head-on."

"We are all aware of your concerns." Evelyn expressed her understanding, and then said, "You only need to use the name of the Star Town Mage Association to deal with the locust plague."

"The North has not been invaded by locusts so far. You must have some special method, right?"

Is there a special method...?

It's the springtail created by his little mother nest. After devouring the locusts, it has grown wings on its body and can fly short distances and glide.

They have a dimensionality reduction attack on those rabbit-sized locusts, and can easily capture and eat them, just like high-quality protein delivered to their doorstep.

Thanks to the locusts, the mother nest was finally able to have a full meal. The poor guy was so moved that he almost cried.

If there are enough locusts for the mother nest to devour, it should be able to replenish some things and even start the second step of evolution.

The locusts clearly have the genetic sequences needed by the mother nest.

Evelyn, who had been paying close attention to Cloya's expression, knew what was going on: "If your method is easy to use, I will arrange for the Nolant Mage Association to fully assist you.

When the matter of the Kingdom of Norant is over, the Mage Associations in the surrounding countries will also assist you."

Her tone was very casual. After all, the Mage Associations in various places were theoretically just branches, and of course they had to obey the orders of the headquarters in Star Town.

Croa frowned slightly.

In fact, after his persistent transformation, the monsters produced by the mother nest are no longer particularly ferocious, but rather a little cute.

If he took it out, it wouldn't attract too much attention. He could just say it was a special magical beast. Anyway, his ability to breed magical beasts was his signature ability.

Well then... let's give it a try.

Thinking of this, he nodded: “Okay, I can promise you.”

"It's really not that difficult to deal with some locusts."

His tone was equally casual.

"Great."

"Once you have dealt with the locusts in the Norant Kingdom, I will grant you some of the rights of the wise men. The rest will depend on how fast you can handle them."

Evelin laughed and said, “Well, let’s continue with the topic just now. Star Town also promised to give you two supports.”

"You should now have the right to conquer your own floating island. According to the agreement of Star Town, all the floating islands you can see and conquer will belong to you."

Wow, this is really a big temptation. You have to know that the floating island is one of the most basic resources of the Mage Association, and it is not allowed to be owned casually. Even if it is a country, it can only get a few islands.

But now Evelyn said that all the islands that Croa could conquer would belong to him, which meant - you can take whatever you can grab!

This is simply legal plunder.

"also."

"The old wizards in Star Town asked me to give this to you."

The great magician took out a thick black book and handed it to Cloya. The title of the book was...

"Miracle of Death? The Buried Magic (Part 2)"

This familiar name made him feel dazed for a moment - the book that Miffin had given him seemed to be called "Miracle of the Earth? The Buried Magic (I)".

Could it be that the same author wrote all of this? There are so many gods involved... How powerful a being must be to be able to do this?

Facing Croix's curious gaze, the great magician replied:

"This book was written by a wise man from ancient times."

“He focused on studying the power of gods, trying to connect the power of gods with magic, so that divine arts could become a power that could be used by most people.

It’s a pity that his works were blocked and burned by the Church of God, and even Star Town didn’t collect many of them.”

She sighed slightly. For someone who loves magic, this kind of thing is really an unacceptable huge loss.

"That's a pity indeed."

"But are you sure you want to give this kind of magic to me? I remember that necromancy is strictly prohibited, right?"

She replied, "Death magic and necromancy are similar but not the same in essence. Magic is just a tool we have. What effect it can have depends on how we use it."

After she finished speaking, her whole demeanor relaxed at once: "Okay, I have finished relaying the matter regarding Star Town."

"Well, there is one more little interesting thing I want to share with you."

"There was a conflict between the Thorn Tribunal of the Church of Mother Earth and the Church of Light. They probably don't have much energy to pay attention to the outside world now."

As soon as she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Kloya to think, and changed the subject: "Next, should we talk about my treatment as a teacher here?"

The change was so fast that Kloya was stunned for two seconds before he reacted: "Didn't you say you didn't want a salary?"

"Of course I don't want it, but you have to give me other benefits, right? I am willing to use an elemental plane as a public laboratory for the academy."

"..."

How can I talk about your treatment like this?

How could a teacher bring an elemental plane with him...

Kloya couldn't help but complain in his heart, but in fact, he certainly welcomed the joining of a tenth-level magician. After all, there were really too few high-level magicians in the academy nowadays.

Even the teachers are basically substitutes from the first batch of apprentices who have reached the second and third levels.

It's not that he couldn't invite a magician, but he didn't want the ideas of foreign magicians to influence his academy. If he then appeared to be superior, that would be uncomfortable.

But Evelynn doesn't look like the kind of troublesome mage.

He said helplessly: "What kind of treatment do you want? Just tell me directly."

“This house, I know you have a way to make it a mansion, I want to take it with me.”

"can."

"My course lesson plan will be given to you for review, and no one else can have any objections."

"can."

"I want to learn your space magic."

"I'll consider it." Kloya didn't agree directly: "Since you can see the magic of this space magic, you should know that you can't let anyone learn it casually.

Dear Grand Mage Evelyn, you do not have my full trust now."

Evelyn expressed her understanding: “I understand very well.”

Then she changed the subject: "I met a friend of yours when I came here. Do you want to see him?"

"it is good."

Chloe already knew who the friend was that she was talking about.

——The light curtain slowly unfolded in front of him.

There was a barren land bitten by locusts, displaced victims, and a figure with tattered clothes, bare feet and leaning on a thorn stick.

He walked on the earth in silence.

He tried hard to save the dead seedlings, but the locusts had already devoured all the crops before he arrived, leaving not even a root... How could he revive them?
The followers of the earth were helpless at this moment - neither the harvest nor the power to call back death were of any use on the bare earth.

The scene only lasts a few tens of seconds, but the feeling of helplessness is really conveyed through the picture, making people unable to calm down for a long time.

"His strength is clearly weaker."

Kloya quickly calmed down and glanced at Evelin sharply: “Tell me, you let me see this scene, what do you think?”

The latter just smiled: "I don't have any ideas."

"Although I am a dark wizard, I will also show respect to the noble one, and of course I don't want to see him die like this."

Her expression was calm and her eyes were clear.

It seemed that he just conveyed his friend's current situation to Croa.

"It better be this way."

Kloya stood up and looked down at the tenth-level great magician condescendingly: "I will give you everything you want and need. I just hope that the magicians in Star Town can still have a little conscience."

After warning her like this, Kloya disappeared silently, still without any magical fluctuations.

The Great Magician watched Kloya disappear and sighed helplessly: "I came here with good intentions."

She waved to Lanbo who was hiding in the room in the distance: "Come on, little cutie, I need you to soothe my wounded heart!"

The poor half-orc boy immediately came behind the great magician and obediently helped the latter massage his shoulders. His movements were extremely skillful, and it was obvious that he had done it many times.

……

After returning to the Mage Tower, Cloya sat on his sofa without saying a word, silently looking at the vast and mysterious sea of ​​stars in the sky.

He was thinking about what Evelyn had said.

He read like this for a long time before turning his attention to the book "Miracle of Death? The Buried Magic" and sighed deeply.

"Miffin has such pure power of death, who will be paying attention to him? Will it be the so-called God of Death or the wizards in Star Town who are eager to study death magic?
Or the churches and countries of those gods..."

He knew that Evelin’s words just now definitely had a deeper meaning, and something was definitely going to happen—there was no way to stop it, and his power no longer allowed him to keep a low profile.

To outsiders, it seemed that Miffin was already tied to his territory, and they might even suspect that Miffin was sent out by him.

Once the seeds of temptation are sown, no matter how low-key he is, it will only lead to endless temptations. The best way is to scare them once and for all.

There was no way. His territory was too rich and too conspicuous in such a desolate place, and he had not achieved any particularly brilliant military achievements.

It's like a piece of fat meat, which easily attracts people's covetousness. There's nothing that can be done about it.

That being the case...

"There's no need for me to keep a low profile anymore."

He gazed at his own Orpheus Swan Flute tree, which was now filled with magical light and glittering, with fire burning in his eyes.

"Taling."

He said: “I think my territory is still too small, and the royal family of the Kingdom of Norant is not enough to stop this disaster.

Then let me handle it.

Order the first, second and third Warcraft and Magic Plant Regiments, Count Kemoye's Knights, the Battle Mage Regiment and the Colorful Sunflower Regiment to set off.

I have enough food and I will treat them well.

See if the neighbors around are willing to submit to me, and if not, find someone who is willing."

After a pause, he continued, "Contact the Mage Association in the capital. I want the king to come see me."

"He must come in person, or I will have my army invite him."

"Yes!"

"Your will is absolute!"

Talling felt the decisiveness and determination in Cloya's words.

It felt like…something was going to be different.

But it liked this feeling very much, and was even a little impatient, so it immediately went to convey Cloya's order.
