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

Chapter 77 77. Clover: I sacrifice myself for the sake of potato! (First order required)

Two days later.

Croa was staying in his laboratory.

He had already buried the thick potatoes in the soil, and provided plenty of fertilizer and water, but the supply of magic power was constantly decreasing.

Lower it every hour.

Well, anyway, we have Mu Yao Qu Teng Wang, an experimental assistant who doesn't need sleep at all, to help us and can also record the magic status and variables.

Trouble is not his trouble at all.

The high yield of the thick potato was originally based on the supply of magic power. Now that the magic power is gone, the fruits hanging on its roots have become shriveled.

After observing this, Cloya began to frequently use his consciousness to influence it, suggesting that it give up these extra fruits and just take care of the remaining fruits.

But the effect is not very good.

Its leaves began to wither, and all of its growth magic was supplied to the fruit at the roots, just like a mother who was already emaciated but still had to feed her children.

But this is a completely vicious cycle. It can't even grow itself and absorb enough light and nutrients, so how can it possibly take care of so many fruits?

In just half a day, it began to fester.

The leaves were dull and lifeless, and foul-smelling sores appeared on the vines.

It looked like he was about to die.

When it dies, the fruits will certainly not survive. They have not yet fully developed and cannot see the light, so they can only be buried in the soil and gradually rot.

Croix fell silent after seeing this.

He knew that his experiments over the past two days had been a failure, so he sighed softly and did not continue to work on the potato plant.

"Put in the magic supply."

After giving this instruction to Mu Yao Qu Teng Wang, he planned to keep this thick potato in the laboratory.

For some reason, he still had a slight liking for this magical plant.

I just don't know if all the thick potatoes are like this, or is this just an isolated case?

If this is really the case, my plan to cultivate seeds in this way may really be ruined.

He sat down in a chair, considering whether to ask Jamie to bring more thick potatoes for the experiment.

The apprentice has now been qualified to enter his laboratory and he will be asked to do anything.

Even Kloya had passed on a part of the meditation method of the Mage Association to him - at that time the original owner had sworn an oath and was bound not to pass it on to others.

But now he has changed his meditation method a long time ago and is not bound by it, so he can naturally give it to whoever he wants.

"Follow your orders."

The Woody Teng King had no feelings about how Kloya was tormenting the magic plants. In his opinion, magic plants and even magical beasts that did not have self-awareness were not considered living things.

Its former owner, the legendary wizard Ilister, was even more exaggerated than Kroa. He used the elemental plane as a planting site for experiments.

Its vines flexibly plugged into the pipes of the magic array, and immediately azure blue magic mist mixed with gold flowed into the incubator of Hou Tushu like water.

These are made from spring water that has been filtered from the magic spring jellyfish, purified, and then added with the Yangyan magic created by sunflowers.

Water and sunlight are the two nutrients that magic plants need most.

It is possible to grow without soil, but most magic plants cannot survive without water and sunlight.

"Wow~"

As the mist flowed in, Hou Tushu immediately couldn't wait to absorb the pure magic power, and his body suddenly strengthened from being weak to strong, almost visibly to the naked eye.

The originally withered leaves recovered, and the vines with festering wounds also returned to normal.

"It's pretty fast."

It was at this moment... it suddenly transmitted a consciousness, which was captured by Kloya -

"I……"

“I can’t take care of them.”

"Child, roots..."

This consciousness made Kroya look sideways. He suddenly looked at the Star Crystal Bottle placed beside him. The divine power of the Mother Earth, which had been quiet inside, suddenly trembled.

It hit the bottle, as if it was trying to get away in a hurry.

"Ok?"

The divine powers coming from the Mother Goddess of Earth have always been very stable. They have not even emitted any unusual fluctuations and are as quiet as dead objects.

That's why Croa was so confident in leaving them here, and put them into the Star Crystal Bottle as decorations and materials for future research.

As a result, it suddenly moved now.

And it was only after Hou Tushu's consciousness was transmitted that he moved.

The situation was such a coincidence that he couldn't help but think about it.

"Could it be that its desire was responded to by the Mother Earth?"

How can this be.

If the gods really responded to every prayer, the church wouldn't have to spend so much effort on propaganda and missionary work.

If people truly saw the benefits of believing in God, their faith would definitely be extremely firm.

"Weird."

Kloya walked to the front of the bottle, looked at the divine power pulsating inside, frowned, and then reached out to open the bottle.

He really wanted to see what these divine powers were going to do and whether it was as he thought - to bless this thick potato.

"Click it."

As soon as the bottle was opened, the golden divine power inside immediately rushed towards the thick potato, watering the vines and leaves of the thick potato like rain of light.

It had already absorbed enough magic power, and now with the irrigation of these divine powers, it was growing wildly as if time was fast-forwarded.

In less than half a minute, it completely filled the entire incubator. The vines and leaves were extremely lush, and the surface had a layer of khaki halo.

Those halos are attracting the magic around them.

At the same time, it is accompanied by an indescribable, vast and strange power fluctuation.

Completely different from magic.

no doubt--

"Divine magic? Did this actually bless it?"

Chloë was simply shocked.

Can it really bless you? Can it be so easy to bless you?
What surprised him even more was that the prompt for the Astral Body Imprinting Technique suddenly appeared -

【Thick Soil Potato (Earth Membrane·Operation)】

[Because this demon plant is extremely eager to take care of its own fruit, it arouses the divine power of the earth under the amplification of the power of the sky. ]

[When the Earth Membrane exists, it will actively attract and absorb the magic power scattered around it. ]

【Its fruit will become even more powerful. 】

After reading the instructions that suddenly appeared, Kloya's first reaction was to look at the Holy Light Four-Leaf Clover planted in the flowerpot next to the windowsill.

The power of the void, that must be it!

really.

The light on the Holy Light Four-Leaf Clover that had been peacefully there was gradually fading. Through the Astral Body Imprinting Technique, one could sense its consciousness.

"I wish..."

“The gift of the gospel.”

One of the holy four-leaf clovers began to wilt. It had been planted in the flowerpot and was doing fine, but now it looked half dead.

It became more illusory, almost looming, but it managed to maintain its original posture, without collapsing on the spot and letting the dark clouds inside escape.

This made Croa feel relieved.

If the dark clouds inside come out and it rains heavily outside again, it will be really troublesome if the sky finally clears up and then it rains again.

but.

You really are selfless.

They just had a moment of desire, and you really expended your energy to respond. I guess all the plants in the Ark have this sense of dedication?

Is the Ark meant to highlight this kind of dedication?
He shook his head speechlessly, and then thought seriously: "The increase in the power of the void? This thing can increase it and make the divine power feel it?
Is it the unique power of the Earth Mother Goddess that works, or is it all possible?"

If both are possible, then it is simply a cheating device.

Isn't it possible to bless anyone you want?
And what does the "operation" behind the Earth Membrane mean? Why did the Astral Body Imprinting Technique suddenly start again?

He had discovered this special suffix before, but it only appeared in Mercury magic. He originally thought it was a general term for a certain school of magic.

It's like [Red Song: The First Three Chapters].

Now I am a little hesitant.

It can't be that divine power is also a kind of earth magic, right?

That's too bizarre.

Confused, he thought about it and simply asked the Mu Yao Qu Teng Wang beside him: "Do you know what movement is? Do you have any impression?"

The Wood Star Qu Teng King is a special creation that combines the power of the Earth Star and the power of the Water Star. Perhaps it knows what "operation" means.

"Ah?" King Mu Yao Qu Teng asked in confusion: "What is that?"

The emotional fluctuations transmitted by the contract and what was seen through the Astral Body Imprinting Technique were indeed real doubts, not pretended.

Apparently, it didn't know.

Croa could only shake his head: "Nothing."

After suppressing his doubts in his heart, he continued to use the Astral Body Imprinting Technique to observe the composition of Hou Tushu's astral body.

It is now engraved with this blessing.

So, can you see it yourself?

Not to mention whether you can learn it or not, if you can see it, as long as you can imitate the magic pattern structure inside, it will be enough.

When the khaki-colored Thick Potato Star Spirit came into view, Cloya suddenly saw a very strange khaki-colored and gold-colored interwoven pattern flashing on the Thick Potato.

After just one glance, Kloya felt that his mental strength was somewhat shaky, like liquid that evaporated quickly when encountering fire.

More than half of it disappeared in an instant.

"It's really too forced." He immediately retracted his gaze and tried to recall the entire pattern he had just seen in his mind, but he was in a trance again.

The lines in the memory gradually became blurred, and then... disappeared completely, as if they had never existed.

This is the first time I have encountered such a situation.

Even when I looked directly at the moon inside the Virtual Moon Fruit and the ring inside the mushroom, I never forgot them after seeing them.

Instead of feeling disappointed, Cloya became even more curious.

A magician just needs to be curious.

Since it doesn't work in this world, what if it's in the sea under the tree called "The Tremor That Calms the Seas"?

With its blessing, is it feasible?

He planned to go in and take a look at night. Since his mental strength recovered, he had only been in there once.

You know what, I miss it a lot.

He picked up the cooked duck egg next to him, then broke the bread. He planned to reward himself by picking up a sea duck egg to try.

The fishtail sea ducks laid a lot of unfertilized eggs, and he had already asked his men to pickle the duck eggs. The thought of the greasy salted duck eggs sandwiched between steamed buns and then taking a bite of them…

He was drooling a little.

After coming here and eating seafood bread every day, he was really a little uncomfortable with it.

While chewing on the bread, he sighed vaguely: "Alas, I'm still not used to it."

I thought there was nothing to do today, but before I finished eating the bread, King Mu Yao Qu Teng reminded me, "Master, Baron Kemoye's carriage has arrived, and he is communicating with the butler Robert."

"Well?"

Croa munched on some bread and looked towards the location of the surveillance array.

Judging from the time, he should be here.

A new batch of holy white iron had already been refined and was waiting for him to take away.

Of course, the magic plants and monsters he promised to Croa should also be delivered.

"Huh?" When Cloya saw the situation on the screen, he was suddenly stunned and almost dropped the bread in his mouth.

In the picture...

Baron Kmoyer's iconic carriage has been transformed into a "thorn carriage" wrapped in white thorns, with a white halo shining through it.

That white color is very strange.

It looks like it can't accommodate any other colors.

The white was so pure that it hurt his eyes. Even the magic power of the monitoring array showed strange fluctuations like snow screen.

"..."

He silently finished the bread in two or three bites, resisting the urge to notify the sunflower and shoot it with a red ray.

"You're really good at making trouble. You'd better give me a reasonable explanation."

Chloe's expression was obviously not happy.

This strange demonic plant doesn't look normal at all, and it might be some evil thing.

If it affects his territory, he would really want to kill people.

He has already advanced to the third-level wizard and learned a whole new chapter. If he wants, he can turn the baron's territory into a scorched earth by himself.

The status of both parties was no longer equal when the third-level magician was born.

It was fortunate that the baron cooperated with him, otherwise he would really have let the sunflower emit red rays to destroy the carriage.

As he walked towards the castle gate, he was thinking whether he should set up a reception desk at the dock on Hanjiao Island. Otherwise, anyone could get close to his castle, which was a bit unsafe.

Soon, he arrived at the castle gate.

When Rob saw him coming, he trotted over and said, "Master, I've seen this kind of thorn before..."

The butler's expression seemed to be vaguely excited.

Kloya's heart moved and asked, "What is it?"

Robert lowered his voice and said, "You should know the Order. Legend has it that before He entered the world consciousness, there was a sect that truly believed in Him."

"Unlike today's sects, they used the power of order to cultivate a sacred plant."

When he said this, Kloya already understood what he meant - these thorns were related to order.

And the Astral Body Engraving Technique also confirms this.

Those white thorns are called-

Justice thorns.
