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

Chapter 363 363. It turns out that taking a bath is a luxury in the underworld

In order to ensure the quality of his travel, Kloya had asked the Phantom Cloud Snakes to build a cloud island for him. With the power extracted from the azure ore in the sky and the irises planted around it, he could move at high speed while being invisible.

When Theodore and Ginesa saw Kroa casually take out a gorgeous island, their moods were completely different - the former happily went up and found a sofa woven with the hair of a running alpaca and collapsed on it, while the latter was surprised that this place could actually accommodate undead creatures.

Even if they were unwilling to admit it, they were all dead now. They could not taste delicious food, could not experience the sunshine and rain, and even breathing was unnecessary.

But here, on this white cloud island covered with colorful flowers, he could actually breathe the air!
The air carries the scent of flowers, grass and the smell of the earth!
The legendary swordsman sniffed the air greedily, with an intoxicated expression on his face. He even stroked the delicate little flower gently like a pervert and laughed foolishly.

Croa: “…”

"Uh, your friend..." He considered his words and said tactfully, "The erosion of the underworld may indeed be quite serious. I have some special potions here. Does he need them?"

Theodore pulled his head out of the soft alpaca sofa, glanced at his friend, and said as if it was normal, "It's normal. There is no such sunshine and rain in the underworld.

Things that are common to you are almost impossible in the underworld.

But I still don't understand what power you use to make us dead feel the sun and rain. When we were in the main plane, it was Eden. Is this also a part of Eden?"

There was also obvious desire in his eyes.

Apparently, allowing the undead to experience a normal environment with sunlight, rain and dew would be an unimaginable pleasure for them, and they are even willing to start a war for it.

"This is truly a part of Eden."

"I created it specifically for coming to the underworld."

Kloya blinked and said meaningfully, "If I open an experience center like this, how many soul crystals do you think I can earn?"

The so-called soul crystal is the last trace of the soul that belongs to the world retained by the living when they enter the underworld. It is a necessity for drawing soul arrays, and even Kloya does not have many of them.

There was no way. That thing couldn't be preserved for a long time in the environment of the main plane, and he couldn't buy much at all.

A big part of the reason why he opened up the underworld was to obtain this kind of soul crystal.

There is a tragically thick barrier between mages who can explore and trade across planes and ordinary mages.

Theodore also blinked and suddenly said eagerly, "There is a couple of Death Knights ahead. We can go and give it a try!"

"Okay." Croix said generously: "I will give you a mansion where you can enjoy the sunshine and rain. Don't worry, it's just a small gift."

When the wealthy man said this, Theodore looked at him with wide eyes.

After a while, the knight shook his head and said, "No, I cannot accept such a precious gift from you. I don't have any gift to give in return."

"..."

Is it precious?
To Croa, this was just a small space fragment made with the rainbow grass and part of Eden's magic power, and it could be made easily.

"That's good."

"I can't stay in the underworld for long. If you help me find the guests I need, I will advance you a house as a reward to thank you."

Theodore understood what Cloya meant, so he didn't refuse this time and simply agreed: "Okay, don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to covet your territory."

Both of them are well aware that friendship needs to be maintained, but what is touching is that it is this kind of relationship that is the most stable.

——Poor Skeleton King has long been forgotten.

In fact, in a place like the underworld, it is very normal for territory to change hands. The strong can do whatever they want in the underworld, but no one would be so stupid as to abuse their power in the underworld.

Any life that is slightly normal would hope to settle down in a warm world.

After the two men had finished discussing this, Sky Island flew directly to the west at such a fast speed that the scenery below flashed by as quickly as a revolving lantern.

But the underworld is very large, much larger than the main plane. The territory of the Skeleton King alone is as large as five or six kingdoms combined, not to mention the more distant desolate lands.

During this period, Cloya discussed with Theodore and took out various materials on the spot to start building mansions - with his current attainments in space and design, building a mansion would be a piece of cake.

While designing, he also asked:
"Are you sure you want this?"

"Is there no water in the underworld?"

Theodore nodded very affirmatively, looking at the bathtub that Kloa had casually built, his eyes shining: "Taking a bath is a very comfortable thing, but the water in the underworld cannot be used for bathing.

Not to mention we couldn't feel the temperature.

Have you forgotten? I was soaking in water at your party! "

"..."

You are quite proud.

Speaking of this, Kloya suddenly became curious: "You said you wanted to watch the fun of Master Ilister. Aren't you afraid that she will catch you?"

Could it be that they developed feelings for each other?

"In fact, Ms. Ilister also helped me a lot." Theodore said calmly, "So many of my friends were able to awaken in the underworld because of her arrangement.

She is a very good manipulator. I hate her for locking me up in the wizard tower for so long, but I am also grateful to her for allowing my friends and I to start the next thousand years of journey in the underworld.

Even the fact that my soul can resist the erosion of time is due to her arrangement - her actions make it impossible for me to simply judge her as good or bad, and I even think she is normal among the legends."

"Hmm." Kloya also stopped what he was doing and thought carefully about Iliste's reputation. It seemed that it was quite normal in the legend.

Legends really can’t be viewed with common sense. They basically correspond to gods, and are even freer and more arbitrary than gods - so what will you become after you become a legend?

Open up more planes? Make countless planes your own territory, transform more magic beasts and magic plants, so that they can adapt to the changing world, or...

He has already completed most of the journey of "Poem of Rainbow".

But the road of Astral Body Imprinting has no end in sight. Its status seems to be higher than "Poem of Rainbow", and he has never heard of its origin, not even the omnipotent Sky Ark knows about it.

To this day, he always feels that the Astral Body Engraving Technique has other uses. What are they?

He sat there quietly thinking.

Seeing this, Theodore left silently.

As time passed, Kroya tried to see the structure of the Astral Body Engraving clearly, but he was still powerless. However, he had a hunch that there should be no problem when he reached the Legendary level.

It's really outrageous to think about it this way. Both "Poem of the Rainbow" and Astral Body Engraving must be legendary to unlock truly powerful abilities. It's quite interesting. He is looking forward to seeing more and more.

……

The sky island soon arrived outside the Death Knight's territory. Here was a vast plain, with the common underworld grass growing on the plain, and many skeleton horses running.

Although they do not have strong muscles, their bones are extremely strong, and coupled with the blazing flames, they have a unique charm of death.

However, Cloya’s first reaction when he saw them was... How do I put on the saddle? Otherwise, won’t it hurt my butt when I sit on it?
Their arrival attracted the attention of the local lord.

Two knights riding tall skeleton horses suddenly jumped out from the cracks in space. They were wearing heavy rune armor and holding cold swords of death in their hands. Just standing there, they looked like super villains in many stories.

"who!"

One of the slightly slender female knights shouted angrily.

This seemed to be some kind of secret method of war cry. Even the power of death in the air of the underworld was condensed, forming countless shadows that were eager to devour the white sky island.

There is no doubt that this is a legendary knight and a knight who is good at magic.

At this time, Theodore poked his head out from the sky island and waved his hand: "Ms. Selina, Mr. Trano, it's me!"

Seeing that it was Theodore, the female Death Knight put down her sword and asked curiously, "What are you doing here? I tell you, I won't allow Trano to go robbing with you!"

——The male Death Knight beside her didn't dare to speak.

The last time I went to rob, the other party came to my house and had a big fight, and my wife's favorite skeleton horse was injured.

"Hehe." Theodore jumped up very familiarly and landed in front of them. He patted his chest and said, "I have something good to tell you. A friend of mine from the main plane brought some good things..."

He simply described the meadow covered with green grass and flowers and the bath with the scent of essential oils, and the eyes under the mask of the female Death Knight lit up like searchlights.

"Really?"

"Not even legends can do this!"

"Your friend can really?!"

Theodore nodded without hesitation: "Of course."

They were all knights, and he understood the special nature of this profession too well—they could fight bravely and live in the open air, but deep down they still longed for enjoyment.

Not to mention that the two Death Knights in front of them were heirs of a certain family when they were alive. They would usually have seven or eight male and female servants waiting to serve them when they slept.

"So what does your friend want?" When Selina heard Theodore's description of the bath with essential oils, she suddenly felt her body begin to itch.

She couldn't wait.

As long as the other party doesn't ask for too much, she will give it to him.

At worst... let her husband go rob a few more lords.

"Soul Crystal and Hellfire Horse."

Selina breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this answer, and agreed without hesitation: "Of course."

She was not worried that Theodore would deliberately deceive her, so she simply gave him a big bag filled with dark black crystals, a total of one hundred pieces!

If this is sold in the main plane, the price of a soul crystal is equivalent to five hundred first-level magic crystals - but this thing is a special item after all, only mages and some special people will buy it. The main reason for the high price is that it is inconvenient to transport and store.

"Is this enough?"

"Okay."

"Enough for you to wash for an hour."

Theodore weighed the bag and motioned for them to follow.

The two Death Knights followed directly, and the moment they entered the sky island, warm air penetrated the gaps in their cold armor and enveloped their skin, which had long since stopped flowing with blood.

"!!!"

They instantly no longer cared about the spatial fluctuations they had just felt that could easily transfer them.

As powerful as they were, the legendary knights actually felt a tingling pain on their skin. The memories that belonged to the living made them afraid and they dared not move forward, fearing that it was just a dream.

But the hot spring made of white jade in front of them, the spring water with a hint of brilliant color gushing out of the lion's mouth, and the warm fragrance lingering around their noses were all telling them to go in quickly!

"Am I dreaming?" Selina asked stupidly, and the answer she got was... her armor was taken off, and her husband, the tall knight, carried her directly into the hot spring.

"hiss!"

She hadn't touched warm water for a long time, so she actually felt it was a little hot. But after getting used to it, she immersed herself in the pleasant feeling of being wrapped in warm water.

The water rippled, and she raised her hand, looking at her pale skin.

The skin of the undead was pale and shriveled, with deep corpse spots and not a single bit of elasticity. It was just like the dried-up corpses she had seen on the battlefield.

No, this is a corpse.

"Ugh."

"Terrano."

"What kind of powerful wizard is this, that he can allow us to enjoy the experience that only the living can have?"

She looked at her husband, who slowly came over and hugged her. When their skin touched, she couldn't tell whether it was body temperature or the temperature of the water.

At this moment she suddenly felt that the problem seemed unimportant.

The two of them snuggled together quietly, leaning against the warm jade pool wall, and occasionally some trays with small snacks and fruits floated in front of them.

Originally they thought it was just decoration, but they suddenly remembered that they could even feel the temperature of the water, so could these fruits and snacks be eaten?
So they tried to eat some.

The pleasant taste brought by the sweet and soft pastries and the sweet and sour fruits instantly filled all their senses - even in the distant and faded memories, the taste of these pastries and fruits was excellent.

The two looked at each other and started eating without caring about their image.

Time passed quickly and soon it was an hour.

Without waiting for anyone to remind her, Selina pushed her husband and said, "Go quickly! There should be a lot of soul crystals in our treasure house. Give him as many as you can! I don't want to leave this bath!"

The poor Death Knight could only leave the bath reluctantly. Selina looked at his leaving back and slowly sank her body into the water, leaving only her eyes above the water. Suddenly, she felt a little worried.

It’s so beautiful here, but they don’t usually accumulate many soul crystals. How can they stay here for a longer period of time?
