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

Chapter 41: Taming the Ducks, Chapter 41 (Seeking follow-up reading)

Finally, Cloya accepted the fishtail sea ducks, and Baron Kemoye agreed to send three thousand kilograms of holy white iron for him to continue refining in three days.

This time, the Baron promised magic plants. Compared with magical beasts, magic plants may be more expensive and more precious.

However, three thousand kilograms of such perfect holy white iron was enough for him to pay for the magic plant - the source was naturally the relic.

Croix simply nodded in agreement.

The two signed the contract for the second time.

Anyway, there is a contract. You will never be able to take away the refined holy white iron unless you pay me a satisfactory reward.

But overall, the cooperation was quite pleasant.

……

After sending the Baron away, he began to tame the fish-tailed sea duck.

The easiest way to tame a monster is to suppress it with force.

For most monsters, as long as your power is stronger than theirs, they will surrender to you. This is a very common method.

However, what Kloya had to face were eighty ducks. It was useless to tame these group monsters individually. As long as they gathered together, they would become more courageous.

Even those that were docile before may rebel at any time.

He also considered dividing the ducks into groups, for example, twenty ducks in a group, so that they could be defeated and tamed one by one, but after much consideration, he gave up.

Who knows if they will resist after they gather together again.

It would be better to tame them all at once!
This means that he has to face the siege of eighty ducks, which would be very difficult and troublesome for an ordinary second-level magician.

But Kroa is not an ordinary wizard.

The red magic power of the Red Song Meditation that he practiced was very special. Once this strange magic power was used to cast fire magic, its effectiveness would be enhanced several times.

He was very confident, and after some effort he drove them into a small valley where there was no grass, and then Cloya began his duck training plan.

Facing eighty ducks waiting in formation, he smiled and gathered his magic power: "You better be obedient!"

Then the bombardment of fireballs began.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Thanks to the blessing of the red overlay, each time he cast the spell was equivalent to a double cast, directly throwing out two fireballs.

Faced with such a fierce attack, the ducks of course tried their best to block it, but just as Cloya thought at the time, the ducks were very afraid of this magic, as if they had seen their natural enemy.

In addition, he has the fluorescent algae of the Thirsty Sea and the magic recovery potion made from spring water filtered from the Magic Spring Pearls, which can ensure that he has sufficient magic power.

With such good conditions, success is only a matter of time.

After he violently threw a bunch of fireballs and used up all his magic power, he left the exhausted ducks to rest.

The Mermaids are water-attributed magical beasts, and the source of their power is the water element. Cloya specifically drove them here, intending to use the tactic of wearing them out to slowly tame them.

In the next few days, he came on time every day to throw fireballs, but without causing any special harm to the ducks, and repeated this process over and over again.

By the way, there is a small episode here, which is the crescent fruit.

After several days of observation, Kroya discovered that every night when the moonlight shone on it, it would emit moonlight mist with the sound of the sea tide.

Sleeping in this mist will increase your mental strength faster and your sleep quality will also be significantly improved.

To be honest, this is quite important for a mage.

Sufficient sleep and a clear mind can help a wizard cast spells or create objects faster.

So after observing and finding no side effects, he got used to falling asleep in the moonlight and the ocean tide.

The progress of taming the fish-tailed sea ducks was also a little faster. With his efforts, it took only five days for the exhausted ducks to finally recognize their current situation. When he came one day, they came directly to express their submission.

Eighty ducks bowed their heads to him in unison, which was quite a spectacular scene.

"You are finally willing to surrender."

Chloe laughed heartily, feeling very happy.

After taming the ducks, he suddenly found another surprise -

No one knew if it was because he had been frantically mobilizing his magic power and studying the Scarlet Song these past few days, or because of the effect of the Crescent Moon Fruit, but he had unexpectedly learned the third chapter of the Scarlet Song.

This unexpected discovery made him happier than taming the ducks. After all, the ducks were an external force, while being able to completely control the Poetry of Rainbow Light was his own power.

As long as you become strong, any flock of ducks can be easily obtained.

That is also a peculiar spell technique. The name of the chapter is Quiet Serenade, and the effect seems to be able to make his magic less violent.

To put it simply, if he normally releases a fireball, he must throw it out immediately after the spell model is constructed and the magic power is gathered.

Otherwise, the raging magic power inside might cause an explosion or something.

After learning this technique, he will be able to better control the rhythm and changes of magic power, for example...

A red fireball was held in Kroa's hand, and he tossed it around casually like a toy. The fireball that was supposed to explode for him to see was as stable as an ice ball.

“Speaking of which, Crimson Song is clearly the most violent fire attribute, but the techniques given are all control spells… from Crimson Overture to Peaceful Serenade.

What’s next?

He couldn't help but take a careful look at the Scarlet Song. There were only two chapters left in this poem. One seemed to be related to the range of sound, and the other was related to the Orange Song.

"Is it to expand the range of the spell?"

Cloya was a little confused. Before he learned how to write these poems, they were really obscure. The magical words prevented him from getting a full picture.

The remaining six poems are so dizzying that I even feel dizzy just reading them. I can sort them out, but it is completely impossible to read them smoothly.

After begging in vain, he could only give up temporarily.

Now that the ducks are tamed, it’s time to start the air coral relocation plan.

……

After waiting patiently for another five days, Kloya finally pulled out three relatively healthy air corals and brought them to the beach.

He was accompanied by the knight Norman and several farm servants.

This Norman knight managed the servants in the territory together with Chris and was very familiar with their situation.

Because Croa planned to go into the sea, he immediately called on some of the most experienced fishermen on the island to help.

These fishermen make a living by fishing in the sea all year round, so they have a relatively good idea of ​​where there are monsters or special resources, which will make it much easier for Croa to clear them out.

They stood trembling beside the knight, looking anxiously at Croa who was surrounded by a group of magical ducks, and couldn't even speak clearly.

Kloya listened to them patiently and identified three places on the map - the reef area in the southeast of the island, the coral reef in the west, and the north with a gentle slope and flat surface.

There is a special kind of silver-backed dragon fish living in the reef area. Their meat is delicious and they can produce fish roe, which is one of the favorite foods of the nobles.

The terrain of the coral reef is complex, but it is said that there are some clams hidden in it that can produce pearls with magical powers.

The last gentle slope is intended to be used as a base for air corals and an area for growing sea ganoderma.

Croa decided to eliminate the silver-backed dragon fish first, and also to see the fighting ability of the ducks. He was very much looking forward to it.

However, when he arrived here on a small boat, the situation in front of him left him speechless.
