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

Chapter 316 316. World Tree Coal, Solar Furnace
"You're curious."

"You want to see me, too."

"You still want to know... why I chose you."

——Chloe emerged from the light and looked at the boy who had eaten the memory bread, with an encouraging smile on his face: "Ask your questions, anything is fine."

William looked at Cloya. In fact, he had a lot of questions to ask. Just as Cloya said, he actually had a lot of doubts.

But he looked at the warm light surrounding Kloya, which was like the sunlight that brought warmth to his simple home in winter. He opened his mouth but still said nothing.

Perhaps this gift... is really like the legends in fairy tales and epics?

Finally he just asked: "Dora...will it stay with me?"

Even Croa had not expected him to ask this. The powerful wizard was silent for a moment before answering, "Yes, it will be your best friend, like the leaves of ivy, forever green."

"That's no problem." William hugged the kitten that ran towards him and stroked it gently a few times.

The little blue cat was held in his arms. It looked straight at Cloya and meowed twice.

"Oh~"

As if he had heard something interesting, Cloya's face was first stunned, and then he smiled with a helpless and doting look.

At this moment, inside the little blue cat's body, on the heart made of precious metal with blood vessels and shining with rainbow light, ivy-like patterns were slowly forming.

They... are not metal or magic, but flesh and blood.

【Doraemon (Flesh and Blood of Friendship)】

[When you are loved unscrupulously and surrounded by friendship, you will grow flesh and blood. ]

It's a very simple explanation, but the flesh and blood and the shining soul inside the little blue cat Dora's body are becoming more and more dazzling.

Well, it has proven itself so hard...

Croa looked at its soul solemnly and promised, "Yes, everything I promised will come true."

No one present knew what the little blue cat had said to him, not even the bishop of the goddess of wisdom who was fluent in the animal language and William who had long been in tune with the little blue cat Dora.

Of course, no one dared to ask any more questions.

That's how it happened. William put on the stone hat with the blessing of the three gods and a head full of knowledge, and left, heading towards his own destiny and the epic that he accepted calmly.

Croa looked at the three gods' bishops and said, "The food I promised you will be delivered within three days. I will give you double the amount. Please say hello to your gods for me."

The three bishops hurriedly thanked them and gave them double the food!

With the food, they will be much more relaxed, and as the people who communicate and contact with Croa, they will be able to gain more favor from God and their status in the church will also be improved.

Perhaps they don't care about the lives of those believers - Kloya is actually very clear about this, but it doesn't matter. It's already good enough that their food can save some people.

……

Time passes quietly amid the turmoil in the human kingdom.

The forces of Light and Mother Earth are becoming increasingly frantic, and they are trying to create a doomsday scene.

It’s a pity that without the two high priests, Mifflin and Deimos, two of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are missing.

Death and war are very important parts of the doomsday. Without them, the plans of light and earth will not go smoothly, and can even be said to be shaky.

Because... those people who are against light and earth and led by William under the guidance of Croa are spreading like a prairie fire in the human kingdom.

There are simply too many people who dislike these two churches. In addition, unrest will bring about changes in the world. Even the rivers in the underworld have transported many powerful souls to reincarnate.

This is the saying “heroes emerge in troubled times”, and all these heroes were basically gathered under William’s command through internal information from Croya. It is simply a horror story.

——A horror story about the Holy See of Light and the Church of Mother Earth.

With the almost miraculous props provided by Croa, their power expanded like a snowball. They even announced that they occupied more than a dozen cities, had their own army, and began to confront the Holy See of Light and the Church of Mother Earth head-on.

Although those armies were almost filled with the Star Town Mage Association, followers of the other five gods, Kloya's apprentices, and alien adventurers, they were not pure at all.

But William was very clear about his mission. He had no ambition to dominate and knew very well that this army could only last until the Holy See of Light and the Church of Mother Earth surrendered or were defeated.

With the help of the little blue cat Dora, he worked hard to balance the complex relationships between the forces under his command so that this huge coalition could be maintained.

The strange thing is that William is not particularly smart, and sometimes even a little stupid, but no matter how troublesome the guy is, he will obey his orders obediently and even take the initiative to maintain his authority.

Croa knew everything he did and had been watching his actions for the past three years. He was quite satisfied with him.

Now, he even boasted a little proudly: "See, the person I picked is not bad, even the members of your elves are willing to submit to him."

Ms. Daphne smiled helplessly: "Is this the reason you came to me for?"

When Cloya first arrived, she thought something big had happened, but you just came to show off your men to me?
"Yes and no." Kloya's expression became serious. He took out the ore that the fallen angels had sent him over the past few years.

It was a very common ore, and it looked almost exactly like coal. It was also pitch black and inconspicuous, and it was completely impossible to tell that it was the product of the "Infinity" of the Void Orb.

"It's 'coal'. I found... particles of the World Tree in it." Kloya pointed at the black ore and said, "Your Holy Tree, the descendant of the World Tree, once thrived in the Demon's Abyss and grew better than in the main plane."

Daphne knew exactly what this meant.

The elves have offspring from four world trees. They are the proudest treasures of the entire elves and the best proof that they are favored by the world trees.

In order to allow the offspring of the world tree to thrive, the elves even shot down a god's kingdom and used the special space formed by the wreckage of the kingdom to nourish the holy trees.

In countless legends, they are the embodiment of purity, the starting point and end point of all good things - but now it is said that there is a fifth offspring of the world tree growing in the abyss...

This is horrific history that continues to affect us today.

Daphne held the black coal in her hands and found some light green particles that had not been completely carbonized. They were full of the breath of nature and life.

She thought for a moment and said, "Can it be burned?"

Kloya threw out a ball of flame and the coal immediately began to burn, just like ordinary coal, with flames lingering on the surface. It was not strong at all, but extremely hot.

The temperature was so high that even the surrounding space became unstable due to burning.

"It's amazing." Daphne was surprised: "Coal is formed by those trees buried underground, but I never thought that the World Tree could also form coal."

"It not only forms coal." Kloya stretched out his hand and gently brushed the flame. There seemed to be a breath of life looming inside, and at the same time, the power of the devil was rising.

"These coals...will breed demons."

"..."

Daphne was silent again, then she rubbed her forehead with her slender fingers and sighed, "Why did you tell me this unacceptable truth?"

"Because these demons are my followers."

"Can you rest assured now?"

After playing a prank, Chloe was in a very good mood, with a happy smile on his face.

"???"

Even the ancestor of the Orpheus family was shocked, but she reacted the next second, and said in surprise and joy: "Chapter of the Sun! You, Him, and the Sun God are all chapters of the Sun!" Although it had been speculated for a long time, this was the first time that Cloya admitted it, so much so that Daphne actually had a sense of unreality, and even doubted why Cloya suddenly mentioned it.

But Croa didn't care. In the past two years, he relied on Eden and the gradually expanding symphony to level up and became a powerful wizard of level eight.

As his strength grows, some things that were previously inconvenient to say and needed to be concealed no longer matter if he says them directly. With strength, he can do whatever he wants.

What he was concerned about now were these special demons that emerged from his flames and the coals of the World Tree.

He had never seen such demons before, and after the experiment he was unable to make them exist for long, so he was at a stalemate for a while.

He originally wanted to ask, but even Mia didn't know. Moreover, Ivy had been running around outside every day spreading its leaves. He had no choice but to ask Daphne.

Of course, he was also prepared to pay the price for this knowledge - a laurel wreath.

That was the laurel branch that Ellie had brought with her. It was from another world and had been impregnated with divine power by a powerful being called "Apollo".

Previously, there was "Cupid's lead arrow" that suppressed the fluctuations of magic power. The more passionate Daphne's love was, the easier it was to be completely suppressed by that power.

According to the level of divine power, the level of Cupid's lead arrow is estimated to be between powerful and great, but strangely, it can suppress Apollo's power.

Apollo's divine power is definitely at the level of great divine power.

He guessed that perhaps it was the power of rules that could suppress greatness.

After research, he felt that if he could fully understand these powers, at least the power of the goddess of love would be suppressed by him.

Daphne held the laurel wreath and could clearly feel the sound of the lyre echoing inside. It was an extremely distant memory, so distant that...

"I had forgotten."

She slowly put the laurel wreath on her head and began to describe: "The sun god once created demons, so the sun's flame can create demons. The only problem is that there is not enough fuel to create demons."

"I didn't expect you to be able to find the coal transformed from the World Tree."

Even Daphne felt that this was the guidance of fate. Perhaps some people were destined to have a smooth journey.

So she began to teach Cloya about a furnace called "Phaethon" that was once made by the sun god. It is said that it was the super magic circle that the sun god used when he first created the devil.

"Legend has it that Helios' son was named Phaethon, but he died unexpectedly in a disaster that was related to the god-king Zeus.

He was in so much pain that he wanted to use a special furnace to fuse his eternal sun fire and the fragments of his soul to resurrect his son.

Unfortunately, He failed in the end, and what emerged from the Sun Furnace was a demon, not His son."

Croix listened to her description, and then compared it with what Ivy said - Ivy said that Helios created the devil in order to stabilize his own destruction, but Daphne said that He created the devil in order to resurrect his son.

Is there any connection between the two, or does Helios actually want his son to become a demon and live forever?

He did not raise any questions in this regard, but just listened carefully, asked questions from time to time, and built a model of the so-called "solar furnace" by the way.

He thought this would be a very complicated model and it would take a lot of time to study it thoroughly, but he didn't expect it to be surprisingly simple.

It can even be said to be crude - all you need to do is make a mold out of a special metal in the style of a furnace, use the world tree coal as fuel, and mix it with his flames and you're done.

But Cloya keenly noticed something was wrong: "The furnace is supposed to fuse something, right? We already have the furnace, fuel, and fire, but what is the material?"

"The materials are the demons that are born."

"The World Tree Coal is so special. The vitality in it can even form life. After being tempered in the flames of the sun, it can become a brand new existence."

Uh... he was so confused for a moment that he couldn't think of it.

"I see." Kloya nodded and asked with certainty, "Are you sure you didn't miss anything?"

"No, it's just metal. It requires noon sun iron." Daphne said with a serious expression: "That's a special metal in my world, which can only be found in the temple. This world..."

Before she could finish her words, she saw Kloya casually take out a round magic item with radial stripes, which emitted pure sunlight, like a small sun.

Daphne was shocked: "How come you have a midday sun iron?"

"I won this in a lottery at the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce." Kloya stroked the small sun ball and said, "After I got it, I made it into a decoration and placed it on my desk."

In fact, this thing is not just a decoration, but also the core of the entire magic circle of Hanjiao Island. Only the sunlight composed of its magic power can command the entire magic circle.

If he needs to melt it down and build a new furnace now, Croa is really reluctant to do so, as it will be very troublesome later.

"Too little." Daphne looked at the "sun" carefully after being surprised, and said with some regret: "This little bit can only make a very small furnace at most, and I don't know how many demons can be born."

"Let's try it first." Kloya didn't care: "Since the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce has this kind of thing, I can just go buy some more. I have tens of millions of magic crystals now."

He said it very easily as he has never been poor since he came here. If you lose money, you can just earn it again. Why should you worry about money?

But Daphne thought it was not that simple. This kind of midday sun iron required Apollo's priests to perform complex rituals and use special materials to make it.

Ok?
She suddenly realized something: since the nature of Croa's and Apollo's powers are very similar, could Croa make the Midday Sun Iron herself?
When it comes to creating a new demon, surely it would be easier to create it with pure power of your own, right?

So she told Cloya her idea, and then she had to search through her memory to find the process of making solar iron.

Kloya listened patiently, and the more he listened, the more his head hurt. Compared to making a solar furnace, making solar iron was really quite troublesome.

The so-called "midday sun iron" is made at noon when the sun is at its most powerful and most vital, and it also requires a lot of rituals to bless it.

Cloya's head was a little swollen after listening to the numerous rituals, but he managed to summarize the most important things - filthy and pure iron, essential oils of holy magic plants, servants of the sun, and pure solar magic.

This was actually equivalent to a ritual of the gods, but there was no Rainbow Poetry that did not follow the path of the gods. Daphne was helpless and could only tell everything she knew and wait for Croix to make a decision.

Fortunately, Cloya's understanding of rituals involving gods is no worse than any scholar or wizard. In addition, he did not deliberately reject the convenience brought by faith, so it was not difficult to analyze it now.

After about half a day, he finally thought of a method that he could use, and it happened to be related to the magic plants he had engraved - they have their own magic power in their bodies, aren't they the best sun waiters?

Who says the sun's waiter must be human?

Thinking of this, he said goodbye to Daphne and first came to the place where the Ring of Glory and the anchor mushrooms of reality were planted.

After several years of development, this place has already become the home of the kabamons.

The entire lake bottom is like a meadow forever covered by sunshine, quiet and warm. Some small creatures from the plane of light swim freely here.

During the past few years, Kloya found many magical beasts and magical plants from those bright planes, and planted them all at the bottom of this huge lake.

The sacred magic field formed by these magical plants and magical beasts alone is close to the legendary level, not to mention that there is also a mushroom there.

Now this place is probably more sacred and pure than the holy place of the Holy See of Light.

The masters here, the kabamons, were quietly nestling in the grass, their mouths moving, looking as if they were bored.

But there were piles of metal accumulated around them, shining like hills, and the complex magical glow was simply exaggerated.

For such a long time, they have been forging and refining these metals in a cycle. Even Kloya has to admit:
No one would be more attentive than them. Although I have provided them with a habitat with food and clothing, they have also given me generous rewards.

Legendary iron ingot.
