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

Chapter 22 22. The Baron’s Visit

Under the clear and translucent water, all the air corals began to gather into bubbles one after another at the same time, and those tough bubbles merged one after another.

Soon the entire bottom of the lake was wrapped in bubbles.

However, the air corals still stayed in the water, and the bubbles seemed to avoid them consciously.

After witnessing all this, Croya suddenly became interested. After he cast a magic, he plunged directly into the water.

With the help of magic, swimming is still very simple as long as there is no danger of drowning, not to mention that he could swim before traveling through time.

He swam slowly and came to the front of the bubble, and poked it lightly with his finger. There was resistance at first. But after his magic seeped out, his fingers immediately sank in, and then his entire body sank in.

I immediately entered the bubble.

The tough bubble still didn't burst, it just shook a little and then returned to normal.

He fell from the outside and barely managed to stabilize his body.

My feet have already stepped into the thick mud at the bottom of the lake. The mud here is not very deep, otherwise my whole body will sink in.

"Oh, it's so big."

After entering the bubble in this way, Croya intuitively felt how huge the bubble was. They covered the entire bottom of the lake. This lake was half an acre!

And the height is also considerable, estimated to be at least four meters.

The transparent lake water is isolated by the bubbles, and the sunset is pouring down, which is really a magnificent beauty.

The most important thing is that the air inside the bubble is actually filled with an aura of magic, as if it is constantly being replenished with magic from the lake water and the ground.

Although it is far from comparable to his mansion room, it can still be regarded as a magic gathering circle.

"If only this could be in the sea..."

He instantly thought of how to use this thing. If such a bubble could be formed in the sea, not only could the mineral veins on the seabed be mined, but it could also be gradually expanded through the infinite magic power in the seawater.

Even being able to form a submarine settlement in the end is not a problem.

When he followed the mermaid into the bottom of the sea, he had already felt the magic-filled mud on the bottom of the sea - it was what was left after the death of the magic plants and monsters.

There may be enough magic power in it to be able to condense magic crystals.

The bottom of the sea is simply a huge treasure!

Croya walked at the bottom of the lake for a while to make sure that it wouldn't feel cramped or depressing, and that fresh air was always flowing in his nose.

Apparently these air corals also breathe.

He decided to let the air coral grow well here first, and plant some water-attribute magic plants at the bottom of the lake. When they mature, they will be transplanted into the sea.

After making this decision, he stood up and left.

It broke away from the bubble at the edge and then swam towards the surface of the water.

The sky was getting a little dark at this time. He first evaporated all the water vapor on his body through the instigation of magic power, and then walked towards the castle.

As a result, he ran into the knight Art who came to see him.

This sturdy knight wore a close-fitting leather armor with bulging muscles. He looked cold, but the silly smile on his face destroyed this coldness.

After seeing Croya, he said excitedly: "Lord Croya, the businessman named Sesu is here just now. He said he has a big business and wants to talk to you!"

"What kind of business do you want to meet with me for?" Croya frowned and said, "Robert asked you to come?"

Logically speaking, he had given full power to Robert to handle all these trivial matters, but he just didn't want to see some less important people.

He's just a businessman, and Croya has the goods now, so there's no need to rush to tell him anything.

To be honest, he wasn't very happy.

Don't bother him with such trivial matters.

Art saw Croya's dissatisfaction and hurriedly knelt down and explained: "Sir, it's because a nobleman came with Sesu, Baron Kemoye from Hanhai County."

"Hanhai County...tsk, something attracted him here."

Croya was a little irritable, but a nobleman came to the door in person, and no matter what was reasonable, it was his master who should receive him.

After all, nobles with titles and ordinary people are completely different. The gap may be greater than the difference between humans and dogs.

In fact, he is considered a powerful person, so he has to do something to save his face. After all, he doesn't know how long he will stay.

More or less there is always contact.

"That's all, I'll go see you."

He shook his head and walked forward.

Art behind him breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got up from the ground to follow. He didn't know what was going on. He felt that Croya seemed to be putting more pressure on people today.

Even if Croya frowned, he felt frightened and had no intention of disobedience.

…

The castle's reception room.

A rather plainly dressed young man stood.

Next to him was the businessman Seliu, standing respectfully, and behind him were several guards standing with their hands behind their backs.

The whole person's temperament is also very extraordinary.

There is a noble temperament in every gesture.

Steward Robert was standing not far away, his expression unchanged - he was Croya, a mage's steward, and even a baron could just give him a little respect.

If a first-level mage wanted to, he could get the title of baron, which was basically an equal relationship.

He is the face of Cloya, and he must be neither humble nor arrogant... Besides, before his family was ruined, a baron?

He couldn't even compare to his groom.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit dull, and it lasted until Cloya opened the door. Cloya, who was wearing a blue robe, had a calm expression.

His walking posture was extremely relaxed.

He glanced at her and laughed, "Baron Kemoye, you suddenly came to visit my territory without sending a visiting card or anything. It's really a bit presumptuous!"

It stands to reason that visiting between nobles requires sending a visiting card first, so that the visited person can be prepared. Such a sudden arrival is actually very presumptuous.

He is a second-level wizard and a lord appointed by the Wizard Association. There is really no need to be too friendly to him.

Baron Kemoye also smiled back, and then bowed slightly: "It is indeed presumptuous of me, please forgive me, Master Wizard."

"Oh?"

A noble apologized in person like this, even if Cloya was dissatisfied, he could only slow down his expression and ordered Robert to send tea and cakes.

Then he sat down first and said in a light tone: "What on earth do you want to do here, Baron? I have some magic experiments to do, just tell me."

The Baron also sat down, took out a box from the guard behind him, and handed it to Cloya.

"Master Cloya, I have already reserved all your tin ingots from Serul, and I am very surprised by your refining skills.

If you can help me refine this metal, I am willing to pay one gold coin per kilogram."

Wow, this price is really not low.

Is it some magic metal?

Cloya frowned and opened the box. As soon as he opened it, he was dazzled by the metal inside.

There was a slight surprise on his expressionless face.
