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

Chapter 298 298. Flesh and Blood Weakness

The authority of the goddess of the underworld?
Did He know that he was working on Valhalla?

Cloya had a blank expression on his face. What he didn't know was that the goddess of the underworld had indeed noticed something unusual. As the goddess in charge of the underworld, it was actually very easy for her to see some things if she wanted to.

Although He certainly could not penetrate Eden to see the truth of the matter, there were casualties in Croa's territory, but no souls came to the underworld. This alone was enough to make Him suspicious.

If it were anyone else, even powerful forces like the Church of the Seven Gods and the elves and dwarves, He would definitely attack without hesitation - the responsibility of the Underworld is the death and rebirth of souls, and doing so would be to undermine His foundation.

It's fine if you normally take some believers' souls in, but if you take all the souls away, will His underworld still exist?

But it was Croa who was replaced.

Even gods would be kinder to geniuses with great potential.

So He wanted to give away this authority.

"Let the dead stay in the world forever." Croa repeated, and asked calmly: "In what form can they walk in the world?"

He didn't say much, and the goddess of the underworld, Kleha, didn't ask much either, she just replied: "The laws of the underworld will no longer force them to stay, as long as they have a body to rely on, they can exist forever.

I need to warn you though.

No matter how powerful the magic is, it cannot suppress the accumulation of negative energy in the bodies of the dead. They are likely to be full of resentment towards the world. Once a problem occurs..."

He did not say the rest, but Kloya knew that if such a day really came, in order to maintain the order of the world of the living, Kreha might take forceful action.

"Can't the river of the underworld wash it away?" Kloya thought of a way: "If I bathe in the river of the underworld regularly, can I wash away the accumulation of negative energy and maintain normalcy?"

As he said this he glanced at Theodore.

The gray-haired knight and his companions did not show any abnormalities. How did they maintain their own stability and the purity of their souls?
Theodore felt that there was nothing he couldn’t say, and before the goddess of the underworld spoke, he said to Cloya: “In fact, I have the emblem of the Tree of Life in my body.

It is the passage to the Eternal Paradise, and it can certainly maintain my sanity, and if the Goddess is willing to help me, I can even return to the world of the living."

He glanced at Kleha.

Kleha immediately curled her lips and said, "That's impossible. If you leave the protection of the underworld, you will be captured by Ilister again. Do you want to be kept as a pet by her?"

Croa: “…”

Wait, you have the Tree of Life emblem inside of you? I didn't even notice it.

So what did Theodore offer in exchange?
Besides, he doesn't want to know the love-hate relationship between you gods and legendary wizards. But this Theodore is really amazing, to be fought over by gods and legendary wizards... Tsk.

Cloya thought silently, planning to record it in his book.

These secrets belonging to the gods may become very valuable historical materials in the future.

The goddess of the underworld dispelled Theodore’s desire to return to the world of the living, and then answered Cloya’s question: “The river of the underworld can wash away the accumulation of these negative energies, and I can give you the authority.

But…Mr. Sun.

If you want the river of the underworld to flow into the world of the living, you need to spend a lot of energy, and you also need a very special space to stabilize the magic pattern. "

He looked at Cloa.

Just now when his messenger was tied up, he felt that there seemed to be familiar traces of magic patterns. If it is really the magic pattern of the Ark... then even in the Star Realm, there is no more special space magic pattern than the Sky Yao Ark.

Sky Ark...

So He was willing to grant some authority. After all, He had already promised to give a gift, so it didn't matter if He gave another one.

"Of course." Kloya smiled without hesitation: "I have a very special small plane world that should be able to accommodate a small river of the underworld.

If you'd like to come over, you might even meet an old friend."

old friend?
As the goddess of the underworld, Kleha's heart, which had been calm for a long time, suddenly trembled.

He felt that he should be excited, which was very abnormal for an ancient god whose experiences were too complicated to describe, but He just wanted to look forward to it.

What if?
So He nodded solemnly and said: "I will personally bring the tributaries of the River of the Underworld to wait for you. As long as you are ready, I will come."

"My church will fully cooperate with you, dear sun, lovely mage, have you ever considered... finding someone to become my follower?"

Well, at that moment just now, He wanted to invite Kloya to become His Favorite, but in the eyes of the powerful wizard, this was almost the same as you saying "Be my son".

Saying this would definitely offend someone - Kleha didn't expect that at such a high level, she would still consider whether it would offend others?

This was a rare and novel experience for Him, making Him feel that the whole God was more alive.

"A follower?"

Kloya was slightly stunned and considered the question carefully.

In this case, there will definitely not be too much time for direct contact with the goddess of the underworld, Kreha, so there really needs to be a person favored by God to act as a messenger. So who should be chosen?
He thought about it and suddenly said, "Then let's go with Agatha. That girl is the node where we can meet. I think she is good."

The treatment of the favored ones of the Goddess of the Underworld is actually very good. Not only are they given a lot of power, but they don’t have to worry about death. In addition, the Goddess of the Underworld is very protective of their people, so they are ranked at the top among all the gods’ favored ones.

"Of course." Kleha didn't care who became the favored one.

This was originally decided for Croix.

Next, the man and the god chatted casually for a while.

The first thing that made Croa curious was why He called himself "Mr. Sun".

Kleha said that it was Iliste who told her, and that the legendary wizard described Kroa as being as bright and handsome as the sun.

He thought this evaluation made sense, so he started to call it that.

Croa could only express helplessness about this. He thought something had been exposed, but it turned out that this title was just used to describe appearance?
In order to change the somewhat awkward topic, he asked what reward he would get if he continued to help the goddess of the underworld end suffering.

The goddess of the underworld said that the magic plant of the crystal skeleton is "not all gifts are good things, they will be presented in the most pleasing way."

Before Kloya could seriously think about what this meant.

He directly gave Croa a list of the resources of the underworld, and also indicated the number of people whose suffering needed to be ended.

The list includes everything from the most basic soil of the underworld to the light of the underworld that is difficult for ordinary people to access.

This list itself is extremely rare knowledge about the underworld. If it were given out, it could be exchanged for at least a million magic crystals.

The Hades' words also let Cloya know that what he did was very important to Her. After knowing this, his attitude became more casual.

The topic of conversation also changed to what is currently happening in the mainland.

As the goddess of the underworld, Kreha certainly knows more about the destination of all the dead than Cloya. After all, the dead do not lie.

He told Cloa that a holy war would probably take place in the future.

The harvesting of faith always occurs when a disaster occurs. The Father of Light and the Mother Goddess of Earth will definitely choose to perform miracles when the disaster reaches its peak, harvest a wave of faith, and force them to wake up from their slumber.

At the same time, He also told Kloya that the current God of Life, Mother Goddess of Earth, Father of Light and other gods had fallen into a deep sleep because of the incident on the Sky Ark. Only when they woke up could they officially take control of the priesthood.

There are some gods that they don't want to wake up.

Kleha did not specify which gods they were, but he was definitely among them.

He even hinted that some of these gods had participated in the Ark War and had a good relationship with the Ring of Glory of the Sky Ark.

In other words, these gods will provide some help.

Kloya suddenly realized why the Goddess of Love, the Moon, and the Ocean Goddess had been so generous in helping him. It turned out that the Face Fruit ability of the Ark of Sky Yao was involved. He did not think it was something embarrassing. He had only been in this world for ten years, but he had already become a major force that could not be ignored. There was still a long time in the future, and he had a lot of time.

He was very confident that he could become a powerful being, and taking advantage of the situation was not a problem at all.

For successful people, why should they be so obsessed with these details?
……

After a long conversation, Cloya had a deeper understanding of the situation on the continent, and arranged the next things - contact with the church of the goddess of the underworld, Agatha, the one favored by God, and arrangements for the intelligence personnel lurking in the outside world...

After finishing everything, he decided to go and see what was so special about the first gift that the goddess of the underworld gave him - the skeleton magic plant.

Soon, he arrived at the front line of the development.

The druids and beast speakers were taking wine diluted with water and pouring it on the ground. The land had been cultivated now and they just needed to recover and start sowing directly.

Behind them were walking little tree people. Feeling the earth regaining its vitality, they threw the seeds in their hands directly into the land and then soothed it with the magic of nature.

The progress is very fast. It is estimated that in half a month at most, this land will become a fertile land full of crops.

"It was solved that easily."

"It's really boring~"

Kloya shook his head and did not remove the invisibility magic. He walked slowly towards the pioneer team driving the golem and saw Robas.

At this moment, Robas was sitting inside the golem, with countless thin threads like mycelium extending from his ribs and growing directly into the control core of the golem.

Through these hyphae, he can easily control the golem to perform a series of difficult movements, which is even more flexible and easier than controlling his own body.

After all, the materials and structural structure of the golem were specially modified by Cloya after studying Mia's elf body formed by the fruit of the World Tree.

Elves run and jump in the forest every day, so of course their athletic talent is exaggerated.

After experiencing the feeling of controlling the golem with his ribs, Robas even felt that his own body was redundant. He wondered if he could do his job better if he could enter the golem.
I won’t feel tired because of hunger, I won’t sleep because of tiredness, and I won’t miss more opportunities because of sleeping...

Such thoughts echoed in his mind.

So much so that he didn't notice that his spirit was slipping into the golem, with drops of scarlet blood dripping from the mycelium, as if the crystal ribs were leaving his body.

"..."

Cloya, who originally thought it was pretty good, was shocked after noticing this. My God, this magical plant can actually accommodate a person's spirit and soul?
He did not rush forward to interfere, but carefully observed the structure of these mycelium-like magic plants, muttering to himself: "Bitter flesh fungus, what a special magic structure."

Inexplicably, a thought popped up in his mind -

Flesh and flesh are bitter and weak, and machines soar.

It could contain mental power and soul, and even be perfectly integrated into the body of the golem. He had never seen such a magical magic plant before.

But he still stopped Robas first.

If we don't stop him, this guy's soul will completely enter the crystal ribs and then drill into the golem!
Robas, who was stopped, still didn't understand something: "Master Yalok, if I can enter this golem, I should be able to get an audience with the Duke of Hanjiao, right?
This is my only chance!"

Kroya knew that he might complain a little, so he waved his hand and said, "I'm not trying to stop you from making a decision, but I want you to calm down and think about it carefully before making a decision!"

There are too many people who make irrational decisions when their brains are hot. Moreover, no one knows what will happen when they only rely on magic plants, especially unknown magic plants.

But Robas smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already thought about it."

"Remember what I told you last night? I have to seize these opportunities to move up. Only in this way can I prove my worth.

I heard that the Duke of Hanjiao likes all kinds of strange magical plants. If I merge with the magical plants like this, will he give me a chance?
I tried to push myself up, but it was too slow.”

Croix was silent for a moment: "But that means you are treating yourself as research material. Mage research is not as simple as you think."

"——I know." Robas looked at him and repeated firmly: "I know."

This was the second time that Croa was speechless.

He finally understood what the goddess of the underworld meant when she said, "Not all gifts are good things; they are presented in the way that best suits your heart."

Agatha just wanted food, so the gift she gave was just rice; but Robas wanted to get a higher status quickly. What consequences would this desire bring?
What would happen if someone else got the crystal skeleton?
He suddenly felt that he might have to work hard. At least he had to monitor all the people who got the crystal skeleton to prevent them from doing anything extreme.

This is indeed a gift, but if it falls into the hands of extreme people, it may turn into a disaster.

"Ok."

He nodded gently: "My friend, as long as you don't regret it."

The one who answered him was the figure of Robas climbing up the golem nimbly. The young warrior looked at the metal-made, high-tech golem in front of him and stroked it lovingly with his fingers.

In fact, Robas has only been here for one day, but he just feels that he belongs to the golem. The golem's streamlined design, hard and cold metal structure, and handsome movements all fascinate him.

"I must go in!"

He clenched his fists and tried to control himself as he drilled into the core of the golem - the bitter fungus sensed his desire and more quickly engulfed Robas' soul and spirit, merging them into the golem's core.

This process is of course very painful. The soul leaves the body, and one has to drill one's consciousness into such a small space, and finally adapt to the core structure of the golem...

To be honest, at the beginning, Kloya really didn't think he could hold on, and he was even prepared for timely rescue.

As a result, Robas actually endured it. His body gradually lost temperature and became stiff. But the golem became more and more agile, and the indicator light on its chest was flashing like a heartbeat.

Croix, who had been observing from the side, could see that the bitter fungus had changed -

【Bitter Mushroom (Soul Possession)】

[There is a complete human soul inside this demon plant, and he longs to grow quickly, so the spirit of the bitter meat fungus responds to him. ]

The relationship between the two is: symbiosis

[When humans die, the bitter flesh fungus will die with them; when the bitter flesh fungus survives, the human soul will continue to exist until the bitter flesh fungus withers.]

The golem walked up to Croa.

Thanks to the built-in sound module, Robas can still speak.

"Master Arlok, look, I succeeded!"

He was really happy. Now he was inside a golem made of such a hard alloy and felt very satisfied and joyful.

"Yeah." Croa also smiled and said, "You succeeded."

The young wizard took a slow step forward, and his somewhat worn robe and cloak disappeared in the bright light. The robe, like the starry sky, refracted five-color halos under the sunlight.

Even the sun's light is not as dazzling as his.

He attracted all the attention just by standing there.

Robas: “……!”

The golem froze.

Croa reached out and patted the golem's leg: "My friend, you really want to meet me and serve me...so, here I am."

His idea is actually very simple: hard work should be rewarded. Robas did not hurt anyone, but just turned himself into this just to get a chance.

It would be really unfair if even people like this don't get a chance.

That's why Croa appeared as the Duke of Hanjiao to fulfill his wish.
