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

Chapter 257 257. Starlight Field, Duke Hanjiao

In the barracks of the Dukes.

After Ian and Yasos separated, they tacitly put the potion given by Croa into the food of the two dukes' immediate retainers.

Thanks to the extreme shortage of food during this period, the food delivered now has basically not been inspected. After all, even people can eat it when they are hungry.

Under such circumstances, their poisoning work was of course extremely smooth, and it can be said that the poisoning was hearty.

But the personal meals of all the more important people were poisoned - how dare the chefs disobey the wishes of the two duke's sons?

After finishing the pleasant poisoning work.

Yasos took a tray filled with all kinds of animal offal, wore loose clothes, and entered the room of his father, Duke Nar.

On the other side, the neatly dressed Ian also entered Duke Olivier's room holding a tray with exquisite pastries, milk tea and cut fruits.

The door was blocked by magic and closed completely.

Time passed slowly.

About half an hour later, the two sons of the Duke walked out of the room one after another. Among them, Ian's clothes were still neat, and his fingers were touching the ring on the other hand.

Yasos's clothes were in tatters, and there were some obvious scars on his smooth skin. There was an exquisite purse on his belt.

But both of them had smiles on their faces. Taking their respective trophies, they successively entered the rooms of their father's retainers, and then entered the warehouse of the military camp one after another. Got some fantastic golden cherries.

They were like children picking delicious fruits. They visited the entire military camp tirelessly and placed those golden cherries in every corner.

Then……

There was a raging fire burning inside the military camp, accompanied by a booming explosion like thunder.

The two cats, a squirrel and a snake hiding in the corner were all amazed, watching the golden fire rising into the sky without blinking.

"This is the magic that the master studied from the book Mifein brought. It is said to be the golden holy fire that is only owned by the Holy See and the Holy Spirit Gods."

Tower Spirit Gray Cat Popular Science said: "This kind of flame will not disappear before the sun sets. It is definitely enough to turn the entire military camp into nothingness."

The Emerald Demonic Snake straightened up and hissed out the message, with a gloomy expression unique to snakes in its eyes: "They have done too many evil things on this land!"

Squirrel also quite agreed: "Let them leave the north!"

As if to cheer up the two little ones, the breeze was sweeping in gently, blowing into the military camp, making the fire even bigger.

The sunlight also became extraordinarily blazing, as if an eye was casting an angry gaze down, causing everything to be completely burned in its anger.

Outside the flames, with the help of nature and magic plants, Rob, Lina and Kemoye have arrived here. Behind them are the mage knights and magic plants lined up.

Whether it's Nar Warcraft or those battle mages, if they are slightly restricted, they can be an excellent labor force.

Therefore, they are destined to be unable to leave the northern border, and it is impossible for any of them to escape.

…

Croya, who was far away on Hanjiao Island, was still studying the magic plant called the Star of Astraeus, but unexpectedly saw the burning fire.

Now the entire northern border is within the scope of King Mu Yaoqu Teng's surveillance network. Of course, he has been paying attention to that side for a long time.

He was slightly surprised: "It's pretty fast."

"Looks like I can wait to reap my spoils."

After a brief moment of surprise, he didn't care about what was going on over there at all.

He directly grabbed the little star that wanted to fly around, held it in the palm of his hand and observed it carefully.

Through the astral body engraving technique, we can see that its core is actually only about one-tenth of its original size, and is wrapped in something with a crystal texture.

Clear starlight shines through the crystal, illuminating the surrounding area.

"This strange crystalline growth seems to be a natural magic amplifier, otherwise it would be impossible to make the starlight so bright.

Hmm...this can be studied. "

His fingers gently passed through the clear starlight like water, and the slender fingers with clear joints gradually became illusory in the blue.

Flesh and blood lost its meaning at this moment, leaving only a translucent blue color, like bones, but actually the shape of the fingers held up by the flow of magic power, and the perception of magic power instantly became extremely keen.

It's like a blessing has been bestowed upon me.

"Yo."

Croya shook his fingers and watched the smoke-like fingers swaying in the starlight. There was a subtle sense of sluggishness, as if the control of the body had weakened due to drunkenness.

His current ability to control the body can be said to be extremely exaggerated. He can even interfere with the growth of hair, and the entire body's magic cycle is under his control.

It's quite interesting to be honest that a certain part of the body is "drunk" like this.

After shaking for a while, he squinted his eyes and felt the magic power around him surging towards his fingers. The cool and refreshing feeling even gave him the urge to moan.

He no longer had any doubts and sighed softly:

"It's really walking in the astral world."

"I didn't expect this kind of magic to be included here. Is it because the people from the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce want me to get addicted?"

"But it's really a precious gift."

He knew this kind of magic. It was first developed by the great magician of the elves. Its function was to relieve his addiction to magic.

But the essence of this thing is to minimize the presence of flesh and blood, so that his soul and the magic power in his body can directly contact the magic power of the outside world under the amplification of starlight.

Although both absorption and perception of magic power will become very sharp, the problem is... it is very easy to get addicted.

Without the constraints of the flesh, the soul and magic power can circulate and directly contact the outside world. Although it will make perception more acute, the price is magic addiction.

However, in the world of mages, magic addiction is not really a bad thing. There are too many mages who pursue the reality of facing magic.

Can it make one's perception of magic power more acute? Meditation speed faster?

In comparison, a little magic addiction is nothing to a mage. As long as it can strengthen itself, magic addiction is not a big deal.

So this gift is quite precious.

Kloya thought about how to use this gift.

In theory, this kind of gift can be used to train his subordinates, which is equivalent to opening a magic circle to accelerate meditation.

I think the original intention of the Solon Holy Spring was for him to use it to train his subordinates. It should know that he is a lord.

However, Kloya did not intend to do so. He did not want his apprentices to get addicted to magic too early. It would be fine if they were allowed to adapt before entering the star realm in the future.

After a brief thought, he suddenly thought... could he use the starlight emitted by this star of Astraeus to transform the magic plant into a pure star realm magic plant.

In the star realm, this kind of magic power is everywhere. Those magic plants and magic beasts live in such an environment, becoming extremely strange and special.

In a sense, the environment of the star realm is actually very stable.

Especially after being illuminated by this kind of starlight, he can feel that the magic power around him is completely suppressed by some kind of force.

Thinking of this, he did not do it immediately, but first sent a message to Estner, the Mage Association of the Royal Capital, asking him to help him solve the follow-up trivial matters of this war.

Since the two dukes are dead, he must get what he wants next, and the title must not be missing.

After sending the message, he stood up and quickly entered a room on the top floor of the Mage Tower.

Today, the Orpheus Oak has grown extremely large, and his Mage Tower has also become huge. Although it is not as good as the tower specially built by the Mage Association for those level six mages, it is not much different.

In this floor, he cultivated a special magic plant. The magic coordination he learned from the Dragon Nest and the space folding array magic taught by the angel were engraved on these magic plants.

It can be regarded as a test field. It would be best if these magic plants can be gradually improved during the growth process. If they cannot be improved, he can also observe the changes in space magic.

"Tower spirit..."

He habitually said this and then remembered that his tower spirit went to play with the Wood Star King Qu Teng, so he could only retrieve the data by himself helplessly.

He tapped the crystal stone board standing on the outside of the field a few times, and the current data was immediately displayed on it-

[Current growth progress of the Sky Star tulip: 8%]

[Current spatial stability: 3%]

Well, terrible data.

"It's so miserable."

After taking a look, Kloya couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows, and suddenly felt that it was a bit wishful thinking for him to use tulips to refine the power of the Sky Star into a stable and controllable spatial energy.

"Alas, there is no way, the only spatial magic plant I can get now is you."

He sighed deeply, took the Star of Astraeus and walked into the field of translucent tulips that showed a crystal white color.

The buds of these tulips were all tightly closed, but the inside could be seen through the petals, which was wrapped with a small piece of Sky Star crystal fragments and some clear liquid.

There are some extremely fine magic patterns on the inner wall of the petals, which are constantly emitting imperceptible subtle magic power, gradually transforming the empty fragments and white magic liquid inside.

[Empty Tulip (Kroya's Imperfect Space Stabilization Array and Magic Transformation Ritual)]

[During the growth of this magic plant, there is a very small probability of infiltrating and fusing the empty crystal fragments and white space magic liquid inside. ]

[The current magic imprint is not yet completed, and it is necessary to continue to engrave and improve it or wait for the magic plant to grow on its own and improve it with a very small probability. ]

This is the first time that Kroya has seen the Star Body Imprinting Technique describe the magic pattern imprinting inside the magic plant as "extremely small probability". In this case, wanting to improve is basically the same as praying for a few angel sisters to descend on the roadside.

——Angels are asexual.

It is better to expect that you can learn it quickly, or you can only use some external force to intervene.

After observing it for a while, he simply chose to ignore it, and then took out a pocket in the belly of his robe and took out a large pile of star crystals.

This pile of crystals were all produced by the Star Crystal Turtle. After that guy got a wife, he wanted to have little turtles, so he transformed a magic crystal vein into a turtle nest.

So Croya unceremoniously mined crystals from it, and worked hard to replace all of his important facilities and experimental equipment with astral crystal level ones.

After taking out enough materials, he began to build independent small rooms one by one, completely covering a few individual Skylight tulips, and then created magic transmission channels, water purification and soil and air stabilizing magic patterns...

After a lot of work, he built a single room for ten Skylight tulips, which contained a series of magic patterns for life support, monitoring and regulation.

After doing all this, he placed the Astraeus Star flying everywhere in the ceiling of the experimental field. There were only a few channels that could accommodate the traction starlight and were connected to the single room of the Sky Tulip.

Then he glanced at the magic crystal plate next to him and found that the magic power in the stable column was rising at an extremely fast speed, which meant that it was indeed useful.

Croya nodded with satisfaction.

"As long as it works, if there can really be a change, then I will transform the entire tulip field."

In the following time, he simply inspected the magical beasts and magical plants that were bred and planted in his mage tower.

——There are coconut trees engraved with dragon eggs transforming into nutritional magic patterns, four-color sunflowers that are preaching to more sunflowers, earth rats that build their own castles and kingdoms, solid magic bottle plants that transform magic potions, happy dreaming The magic crystal white rat...

If outsiders came here, they would think they were coming to some special zoo of magical plants and monsters.

…

When Croya inspected his mage tower.

The royal capital of Norland.

Estner, the representative of the Mages Association, is meeting and negotiating with a count from the Heraldry Court.

Both parties were actually quite embarrassed, but the one who was more embarrassed was definitely the chubby, doughy-looking count.

He is Count Sangabu, Vice-Chancellor of the House of Arms.

Theoretically speaking, he is already the second-in-command of the aristocratic institution, the Chamber of Arms, and is a loyal retainer directly subordinate to King Norland.

His arrival actually represents the will of King Norland.

Being able to create a country where the royal power is highly centralized but does not have any faith and will not be dominated by the church, King Norland is not actually a useless person. On the contrary, he is very smart.

King Norant is well aware of the importance of the Mage Association, but he has never had a suitable opportunity to formally cooperate with the association. In his opinion, even selfish mages are much better than those people from the Holy See.

And now is an opportunity.

A mage duke who was born in the Mage Association and was canonized by the royal family can completely serve as a channel and signal for cooperation between the two parties.

Count Sangabu recalled King Norante's order and said bluntly: "Master Estner, how about allocating the entire northern territory to Master Croya as a fief?"

"Okay." Estner nodded.

Although this matter is already a fact, it must be mentioned, otherwise where will the royal family’s face be put?

"Independent trade rights, population migration rights, heraldry council rights..."

Earl Sangabu reported a series of powers possessed by the duke - to be honest, they are all useless. Who can become a duke without this obvious thing?

Estner waited patiently for him to finish, then gently knocked on the table and asked: "Where is Sky Island?"

"..." Count Sanggabu hesitated.

He asked tentatively: "Ten acres?"

What answered him was Estner's sneer: "Heh."

An empty island with ten acres of land? Did you send those slaves away?

If he was really given ten acres of land, he could refuse the title of Duke on behalf of Cloya at this moment - if he took it in such a frustrating way, it would be better not to take it!

"Tell me what you want." Sweat flowed from Earl Sangabu's chubby face. He took out a handkerchief and wiped it, and begged: "You know, that is the heritage of the royal family."

"Isn't it just the floating island community excavated from the north? Without our Mage Association to help you stabilize the magic structure, they would have fallen long ago."

Estner said directly: "At least three hectares."

After a pause, he added: "There must be Liuguang Waterfall, there must be fields of Yunguangming soil, there must be... micro-Kongyao mineral veins!"

As soon as he said these words, Earl Sangabu's sweat was like rain, and even the extremely elegant and custom-made aristocratic clothes were soaked through.

He tremblingly took out a gold knife inlaid with gems and placed it on the table, his face ashen: "You might as well kill me."

"Three hectares, Liuguang Falls, Yunguangming soil are all available...but the Kongyao mine is only found on five islands, and they are all territories directly under the royal family."

He tried to argue that this matter was beyond his authority, and if the thing was taken out, he would be stabbed in the back and commit suicide the next day.

"No." Estner shook his head, reached out and picked up the golden dagger, and pointed it at the fat earl.

His voice was very soft, but it seemed to be carrying the biting cold wind, and his eyes were filled with magical light.

"Does the territory that Archmage Eurydice once owned also belong to you?"

"Mr. Earl, does King Norland think so too?"

Now the fat on the earl's face really twitched hard twice, and the sweat was not only flowing down, but his face even turned pale.

Just then——

"Don't make it difficult for him. He is just a dog raised by my father. Why should you do this?"

A clear female voice like the sound of nature sounded, and the Count immediately jumped up with an agility that was completely inconsistent with his body. He took out a magic scroll and cleaned the table and chair.

Then he stood behind the chair like a competent dog, and looked respectfully at a woman with long golden hair down to her waist who sat in the chair leisurely.

Estner seemed to have expected it, and bowed his head slightly: "Your Highness Mibeka, it seems that you still have to go there in person."

The woman he called Mibeka nodded slightly.

"I can agree to everything you said on behalf of the royal family. I will personally convey my father's order."

"This originally belonged to the Mage Association. It used to be the territory of Grand Mage Eurydice. He also went to Hanjiao Island. Perhaps this is the fate you often talk about."

She smiled, "But please contact Mage Cloya to promise us something."

"You say." Estner did not agree directly.

"...My mother is dying, and I want to ask the mermaid to sing a song of funeral spirits.

If Master Croa can help me do this, I will give him an item I once got from the Kingdom of Sethen."

"It is said that it is a map of Gopherwood Paradise left by the legendary knight of the Kingdom of Sethen."

Estner's pupils shrank slightly.

"I will contact him."

He did not agree immediately, but planned to contact Croa before answering. He thought Croa would agree.

Princess Mibeka smiled and said, "Please come with me in person. I also want to see my brother. I wonder if he is doing well in the North."

"Okay."

After the two decided, they finally smiled at each other, and the earl on the side immediately arranged snacks that were more expensive than gold.

The scene suddenly became peaceful.
