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

Chapter 359: Unbearable Friendship Mark

Planning ahead is a very good virtue.

Of course Ivy would not refuse, and it gave a special magic pattern to Cloya.

"Having this kind of magic pattern can prove your identity."

"The priest's name is Cassandra."

"She should be the only priestess of the goddess Athena that can be found now, existing on the Ring of Creation."

When it said this, it seemed to "look" at Miya several times intentionally or unintentionally, as if it had some hidden meaning.

Kloya didn't quite understand, but still looked at Mia and blinked: "Teacher, you will definitely not refuse me, right?"

The latter looked helpless: "She should be related to Medusa who was imprisoned in the Ark. They are different branches of history."

When it comes to Medusa, Croa immediately thinks of her legend.

Legend has it that Athena's priest was favored by Poseidon, and then did some things in the temple that were inconvenient to describe. The pure Athena angrily turned the priest into a monster with snake hair. Later, a hero chopped off the priest's head and made it a trophy.

How should I put it? It's actually quite miserable.

Being forced by a god was already a very unlucky thing, but the god she believed in actually cursed her. If this matter were to be spread, it would be a black material for Athena.

However, he also knew that it was only one version of the legend. There were also those who said that it was a natural-born monster - legends are like this, there are many versions, but if you have to say, the most bizarre version is the most popular.

Kloya was not surprised to find Medusa in the Ark. After all, Treden had already quietly complained to him about Mia's "terrible behavior" of exploiting child labor and letting Medusa torture him.

"So who is that Cassandra?" He asked curiously, "I don't think I've heard of her legend."

Ivy replied, "She was also a priestess of the goddess Athena. She was insulted by a hero named Ajax the Younger during a battle, and was eventually destroyed by the goddess Athena with Zeus' thunderbolt."

"Athena is actually a very protective goddess."

"She is even willing to use some special means for the mortals she favors, even if the person in front of her is a god."

"From what you say, it seems that Athena and Dionysus have a pretty good relationship?" In fact, Cloya's knowledge of ancient Greek stories was limited to some basic, widely circulated stories, and he didn't really understand anything deeper.

"It's OK." Ivy said with a little nostalgia: "I really want to taste the wine of Lord Dionysus again..."

"Aren't the grapevines in the magic field the wine god's?"

"Hmm... Speaking of which, Grapevine didn't come this time."

Kloya suddenly discovered something very important. This time when he was trapped, the grapevine did not appear - logically it should have come.

"Doesn't it love me anymore?"

"..."

Miya rubbed her forehead with difficulty and actually felt a headache.

But He was indeed curious about why the vine didn't come over this time, so He suggested: "Shall we go and see it?"

Kloya casually pulled out the magic grid of the entire North and glanced at it, only to find that the magic fluctuations of the magic field vines were actually in the same position as the light spots of sunflowers and Pandora.

That is……

The location of Flametail Farm.

"Well, could it be, that dog?" Kloya thought.

Ivy suddenly said, "I feel like there might be something important over there. It's friendship!"

……

The rain curtain that lingered over half of the Kingdom of Nolant finally dissipated.

The pain of being surrounded by humidity and unable to breathe in the rain seemed to have passed. Sean, who was busy on the farm, exhaled softly, but was reluctant to let the rain leave.

He stood in the farm filled with sunshine, but his heart was full of confusion.

It has been fifteen years since he came to the North.

During these fifteen years, he had worked hard to build the Flametail Farm. From being a newcomer to now, he had firmly established himself as the farmer and had even received commendation from Cloya.

To be honest, he is considered to be in the upper-middle class of Croa's power.

It is actually very good to have a generous leader who appreciates you and to be able to do what you like.

But he has been very distressed recently.

Because of his dog, Robert.

Although the Flametail Hounds are magical beasts, they are only level one magical beasts and their foundation is not very good. In addition, they often go out and fight with him, so their bodies are seriously damaged.

Its once smooth fur had turned dull, and there was some gray in its eyes. It was usually not very active, and even ate very little of its favorite food. Sometimes it even responded very slowly to his calls.

The time that did not take place in him was so obvious in his companions.

At that time he was already keenly aware that his partner and friend, who had been with him for more than ten years, was about to leave - he certainly did not want to accept such an outcome, so he went to beg and look for many people.

With his status, of course he can get some precious things.

But in order to ensure that everything was foolproof, he even went to ask Cloa for help, and got from Cloa several bottles of sunshine potions infused with the Fountain of Life. With these potions, it would be easy to extend his life.

But what he didn't expect was...

He gave those bottles of sunshine potion to Robert, but the latter fed them to his children. He taught his children extremely strictly and almost kept them by his side to teach them all the time.

Its child was indeed very hardworking and quickly learned all of its father's skills, so much so that whenever Sean saw it, he always had visions of a young Robert.

His mood became increasingly heavy.

Until the rain fell, Robert suddenly left his nest woven with sunflower grass and went directly into the rain. When Sean heard the news, his heart sank. He put down the work in his hands and went to look for him immediately, but he couldn't find it.

It was not found until the rain stopped.

"Ugh."

"Where on earth are you?"

"..."

Sean sighed deeply and was very reluctant to let Yumu leave.

When he was in the rain, he thought that the world was so small that he would find it sooner or later as long as he looked for it. But when the rain left and he looked at the vast world, he suddenly didn't know how to find his partner.

Even the usual feeling of mutual understanding disappeared without a trace.

"Is there no choice but to go back?"

He was very unwilling, but he also knew that if Robert wanted to hide, it would be very difficult to find him - in the past fifteen years, this farm had been completely figured out by him, and these flametail dogs knew every tree and blade of grass here better than he did.

Just when he was about to give up, a strange wave of magic suddenly came from a distance. It was a golden-red wave of magic, exactly the same as the "sun" that he had seen falling from the sky just now. It was as if it was guiding him.

In fact, he should have been cautious, but for some reason, he instinctively followed the fluctuations of magic power, crossed a hillside, crossed a stream, and after a lot of effort he finally reached an extremely hidden valley surrounded by mountains.

This place looks like it's only one or two hundred meters high at most, but because it is hidden among the green plants on the mountain, it is full of vitality and has an indescribable tranquil beauty.

It is here that clusters of crystal clear grape vines grow in the crevices of the valley above.

They grow extremely lush, covering the top of the valley, hiding the area and filtering the sunlight, turning it into a beautiful yet secluded paradise.

If it weren't for the guidance of magic, Sean would never have known that there was such a place here, let alone that the magic field vines that were said to have nurtured most of the human world were actually here.

After entering here, the mental connection that was about to be broken was restored, and the mental power transmitted was an extremely weak consciousness with the breath of death and pleading.

At this moment he took a deep breath.

Looking into the distance - there is a figure standing right under the grape vines, seemingly looking down at a slightly grayish-red shadow below.

"Robert!"

Sean's eyes suddenly sparkled with tears. He wanted to run over, but before he took a few steps, he was blocked by some hanging vines that were as clear as crystal.

The leaves hanging down from the slender vines were like a wall, and he knew he would never be able to cross the magic brewing inside.

But seeing that his friend was not far away, he gritted his teeth and decided to force his way over.

At this moment, a golden-red light and a warm voice sounded: "It doesn't want you to see it like this, Sean."

A sunflower popped out from the side. There was no way. If it didn't come out, this guy would definitely hit it head-on. By then, the magic field vines wouldn't care who you were.

"Mr. Sunflower!" Sean begged immediately after seeing it: "Just let me go over and take a look, just one look!"

His tone was filled with despair and pleading with no way out, completely different from his usual high-spirited demeanor, as if he would collapse completely if he was rejected.

But Sunflower could only refuse him.

"It rejected Eden."

"Rejected my grease."

"Even rejected my father's symphony."

The center of the flower disk stared at Sean closely: "Do you know why?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Sean's heart was filled with bitterness and he could no longer hold on. He squatted on the ground, covered his eyes and choked with sobs. Of course he knew, he knew everything.

In the world of Flametails, "needing care" is something that makes them feel frustrated. They are fearless and will stand in front of their owners to block all dangers.

But they don't allow themselves to be in need of care - some disabled Flametails will even self-destruct.

These loyal and brave companions also have the most "cold" hearts. As long as they feel that they are about to die, they will no longer accept anything and will quietly wait for death to come.

Perhaps in their eyes, their teeth are no longer sharp, their claws have fallen off, and their bodies have become old, which has become a burden.

Sean has seen too many people send their companions away. From that time on, he began to worry and work hard to climb up, hoping that he could get a "miracle" in this world with his own strength.

——Kroya did give him this miracle.

But his partner rejected this miracle.

"Alas." The sunflower sighed slightly. It could feel the pain and fear in Sean's heart. Robert was not only his friend, but also his relative, even his only relative.

But there was nothing it could do.

Robert has rejected Eden, Symphony and its light, and even refuses to eat the grapes from the vines in the Magic Field, but... why did he attract Pandora?

It felt strange and couldn't help but look.

The clay puppet made by the god was squatting beside Robert, who was already on his deathbed. His slender fingers gently stroked the latter's fur and whispered:
"why?"

"You made a wish to me."

"Aren't you afraid of the rain?"

As a puppet created by God, her status is close to God in a sense. She can hear prayers and feel faith, but this is the first time she has felt such a clear prayer.

She is hope, a hidden hope, a hope that wants to hide. No one will like her, and no one will even want to see her.

“…Woof.”

Robert made a sound with difficulty, then stretched his head out with effort and looked towards his owner. After a few seconds, he lowered his head silently and uttered a final "Woof".

Life had completely left it, the grayness of death occupied its eyes, and the flame on its tail that had been burning with life slowly went out.

Pandora didn't move.

It was not until a long while later that she suddenly stretched out her hand and pressed her fingers on Robert's body. Gray feathers and rain curtains rose briefly, guiding out a new red magic pattern.

If Cloya were here, he would definitely be able to discover that this was what he saw in Sean and Robert, a mark of friendship that represented a spiritual connection.

At this moment, it has been completely formed, like a simple sketch of a boy and a dog standing side by side, drawn with childish strokes, lightly flashing with powerful magic.

Pandora looked directly at the crystal of magic power and gently stroked it with her fingers. Her magic power, which could cover everything, instantly wiped out Robert's portrait.

Only she can erase "existence" without affecting the integrity of such a thing.

"Okay, I promise you."

"You are the only one who prays to me. You will be my only beloved, and the beloved who does not exist."

Then she slowly walked to Sean and leaned over: "Here, your friend asked me to give this to you."

The latter raised his tear-stained face, but his eyes became a little confused the moment he saw the engraving. He could feel that some memories were fading in the rain and finally disappearing completely.

The crystal formed by blood and magic power in his hand was shining brightly and was as warm as the furry and warm little creature in countless nights.

but……

Who is the little guy?
Who is...Robert.

Sean opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to cry about, but feeling really, really like crying. In his gradually blurred vision, the only thing left was Pandora's gradually receding figure.

"It asked me to tell you that it wants to be a little selfish. It has already taught its child to be like it, and it will be good enough to accompany you in the future."

"Just... forget it."

As soon as she finished her words, she saw Chloe, Mia, and Ivy standing not far away.

The expressions of the man, the Ring of Glory, and the Demonic Plant were all quite complicated.
