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

Chapter 258 258. Loot, the key to the floating island

The aftermath of the war went very quickly.

With the assistance of two high-status moles, the Duke's legion barely made any waves and was completely suppressed by the team of knights and mages led by Rob.

Those who were lucky enough to survive were captured, while those who died were expelled and buried on the spot. In just half a day, the military camp was completely buried under the thick soil.

As if nothing happened, green grass and shrubs will cover the place.

The mages were all entangled in a wriggling purple-red vine, and the thorns penetrated deeply into their flesh and blood, preventing the circulation of magic power.

The knight warriors and Nar monsters were all put into special cages, and were personally supervised by the knight bamboos to ensure that they would not have a chance to resist or escape.

These normally aloof knights, wizards, warriors, at this moment fully experienced what it was like to be a prisoner, and they did not even dare to ask Croya to give the nobles the comfortable treatment they deserve.

Because they have seen that another group of knight mages who had been flirting with Ian and Yasos for a long time escaped without any obstruction.

"They did it on purpose! Hanjiao Island cooperated with the Duke's son!"

Saw this scene.

They knew that even if they barely survived, it would be impossible for them to receive any rescue from Olivier and the Nar family, or... it would be better not to live at all.

Involved in the struggle between nobles for power, those nobles don't care so much.

They were dragged to Hanjiao Island.

Soon, the specific list of people was handed over to Croya——

"Seventy battle mages, fifty Nar monsters, thirty second-level knights, and thirty second-level warriors."

After Croya took a careful look at the list, he told Talling who had returned: "Detain them separately on Kufa Island and Zhuli Island.

Let them explain as much as possible about the knowledge and martial arts they have learned. Whoever speaks more will get better treatment. "

These are all people brought by the Duke, and they should have more or less knowledge. Even the most scattered knowledge inheritance can become a classic as long as it can be compiled and compiled.

"OK."

Ta Ling, who had played outside for a while, could be said to be full of motivation and immediately arranged these trivial matters.

After arrangements were made, it said: “Rob wants to step down as housekeeper and his family will soon be back.

He wanted to make up for the regrets during this period and enjoy it with his family. "

Croya was slightly startled: "That's it, it's pretty good."

The mage temporarily put down what he was holding, thought seriously for a while, then reached out to write and draw on the crystal plate in front of him.

Then he said to Taling: "Follow the arrangements above. Rob has helped me so much. He should enjoy a leisurely life for the rest of his life."

Talling glanced at the crystal plate curiously, and saw a series of unimaginable things on it such as "Solar Array Treatment", "Mermaid Song Adjustment", "Island Construction and Decoration", "Customized Full Body Magic Weapon"... and so on. Exaggerated arrangements and generous treatment.

This was tailor-made for Rob by Croya based on his current abilities, and even the king would not be able to enjoy it.

"You are so kind to him."

It sighed and immediately made arrangements, and then transported some sundries over through Mu Yaoqu Vine King.

It was a small mountain of wands, books, and various small magic tools and amulets.

The aura of magic flickers on it, and even if it is piled together randomly like a pile of garbage, people can't take their eyes away.

Croya glanced at Talling doubtfully.

"What are you doing for me?"

Taling immediately said: "These were found from those prisoners."

"I have gone through the screening process and sent you those who possess some magical powers. Master, don't you want to experience the fun of counting the loot?"

There was an obvious hint of encouragement in its voice, as if it wanted Croya to look through the pile of trophies.

After hearing what it said, Croya looked at the huge "garbage pile" in front of him and suddenly felt that it became very pleasing to the eye.

"Then I'll just take a look."

Croya simply reached out and started flipping through it. First, he took out a pile of magic books recorded by mages, which were all filled with the experience of these battle mages in casting spells.

For example, for simple magic like fireball, each book has a different understanding of it, and there are even ways to cast war array spells.

"A complete battle mage array." Croya's eyes lit up. He did not expect that such a thing could be completely recorded in writing.

You must know that even the Mage Association never keeps records in writing or paper. They are all kept in the mind of the president. If anyone needs to instill canned knowledge.

"Maybe they never thought they would be captured." Taling said: "After all, they are the Duke's men. In the Kingdom of Norant, even the king cannot enter the Duke's territory at will."

"It's possible." Croya nodded, threw away the book he was reading, and ordered unceremoniously: "Help me organize all the magic in these magic books."

"You need to pay special attention to the battle mage array inside. After you sort it out, hand it over to the apprentices in Golden Apple Paradise for them to try."

"..."

"You're getting really lazy."

The tower spirit complained, and diligently began to sort out the magic in the magic book that Croya threw - it scanned all the text and images on each page, and then began to organize and repair it through its own attached smart array.

Its main task is to adaptively screen and modify those magics that are obviously subjective, at least to modify the requirements such as magic power and mental power to the extent that most people can use it.

While it was being sorted out, Croya was not idle either. He first looked through the magic book in general, and then circled the parts that interested him.

Time passed slowly.

After Croya flipped through one magic book after another, he threw it to Ta Ling. They divided the work and worked together, and quickly read most of them.

Not to mention, Croya really found some interesting magic in it.

For example, there was a battle mage who couldn't learn the flying spell no matter what, but actually found a new way to add the basic spell of Mage Hand to the flying carpet spell.

It is equivalent to using a mage's hand to support oneself in flying. Although it is far less free than flying, the magic power and mental power consumed are greatly reduced, and the learning difficulty is not high.

There is also a battle mage who is so confident in his ice shield that he maintains the ice shield even while sleeping. As a result, he unexpectedly discovered that the ice shield was actually integrated with his mental power, bringing with it a deep touch of ice-attribute magic power. cold.

It is simply incredible to go from a spell that can resist some physical attacks to a spell that can resist mental attacks.

In addition, there was a female battle mage who used Hydration, a magic that can maintain the magic power of a magic circle, on her body. As a result, her appearance and skin were maintained in the same form as when the magic was cast.

I even found a copy of "The Mystery of Death: A Beginner's Guide to Necromantic Magic."

In short, Croya was amazed by these magics.

Alternative flying skills, mental protection magic, facial preservation skills...

He suddenly realized that although he had provided the apprentices with resources that even the Mage Association could not provide, he had neglected a more diversified education.

If the apprentices are allowed to play freely in different environments, they may bring more surprises to them.

Therefore, after he finished flipping through the magic book, he thought briefly for a while and said to the tower spirit: "Let the apprentices choose for themselves whether to go to the north for trials."

"When you go out, everyone must bring a bottle made of sun crystal and the neural mycelium produced by the myconid. Even if you die unfortunately, you can still enter the Hall of Valor."

"You also need to bring enough supplies."

He explained a bit verbosely.

"As commanded."

Ta Ling immediately went to make arrangements.

Croya continued to look for useful things in the treasure, carefully studied the magic tools, and wrote and drew from time to time, trying to make some more useful magic tools.

He was just obsessed with studying magic and seemed to have forgotten something, but he just squinted his eyes and thought about it and didn't care.

…

The other side.

Estner and the representative of the royal family, Mibeka, have entered the Northern Territory. After entering the Northern Territory, they were closely escorted and guarded by the apprentices.

The apprentices made no secret of it and directly surrounded the car the two of them were riding in, even requesting fire support from the sky.

If there is any abnormality, it is probably the fire falling from the sky.

Of course, this is aimed at Mibeka, not Estner - most of the current apprentices are former serfs and civilians, and they really don't have a good impression of the royal family.

Especially after being invaded by the two dukes, they now have extreme distrust of outsiders.

Mibeka was sitting in the comfortable open-top Golem car, facing the somewhat bleak autumn wind in the north, with a curious look on her face.

She looked left and right, her eyes resting on the straight road below the car for a long time, until her eyes became a little blurred before she looked away.

The white road is like a road to worship the gods.

"Master Estner, here..."

The princess thought about her words: "Did the Archmage create it alone?"

You must know that such roads are not common even in the royal capital, let alone in the fringe areas far away from the royal capital.

The Northern Territory is of course famous among the royal family. The royal family has also sent some people to explore the reality of the Northern Territory.

However, after many attempts, all failed. Even the elite spies and mages in the royal capital were unable to extend their tentacles into the northern border. It was like a magical barrier. As long as someone came in, they would be discovered.

So this was the first time she saw the changes in the North.

Simply stunned.

Estner glanced at the princess and smiled: "Of course, my friend Cloya created everything here."

"Please fasten your seat belt, because with you here, we have to change a way into the depths of the north to reach Hanjiao Island."

"Huh?" Mibeka was slightly stunned.

Then she suddenly felt that the car underneath her seemed to "jump up and then drive smoothly towards the sky. Under the car, the originally white road seemed to become a little darker."

If you look closely, it seems to be a road made of pure white clouds - the surrounding scenery has changed, and the exquisitely built houses and street lights along the way have completely disappeared, replaced by thick clouds.

The clouds drifted with the wind, but they always blocked their sight and could not see the scenery outside the clouds.

"..."

No matter how stupid Mibeka was, she realized that she could not see the specific situation in the north. In her mental perception, there was a powerful magic circle around this road.

It is estimated that even a sixth-level magician could not forcefully penetrate it, and naturally could not see what it looked like outside the clouds.

She smiled bitterly and said, "I came with the goodwill of the royal family!"

There was not much anger in this remark, but it was helpless.

After all, other grand dukes basically had the same attitude towards the royal family. The saying that the wind can enter, the rain can enter, but the king cannot enter is not just talk.

"It's nice to take a look here." It was the first time that Estner saw this cloud road built specifically for visits by outsiders.

He lay directly on the soft seat, his eyes lingering in the bright clouds around him illuminated by the sun, watching the clouds roll and unfold, and enjoying the cool breeze.

It should be said that this experience seems to be better than being down there.

Mibeka had no choice but to enjoy the rare experience of moving forward on this pure white cloud road.

As a "special road for welcoming guests", there are not only unchanging clouds and mist here. There are some exquisite buildings in the looming clouds and mist.

That is a form of architecture that Mibeka has never seen before. The pavilions made of white jade are full of ancient and natural harmony. It seems that they should exist in these clouds and mist.

"It's so beautiful."

"The kingdom of God is like this."

She couldn't help but sigh, and when she continued to look carefully, she saw that the people living in those buildings were actually strange winged snakes.

They shuttled tirelessly in the clouds, as if they were busy with something, and only when they were tired would they go into those quaint buildings to rest.

"What are they doing?"

Mibeka's curiosity was immediately aroused.

But unfortunately, no one answered her doubts. The car quickly passed through this road created by the phantom feather cloud snake and arrived at the destination at a very fast speed.

That is, the welcoming hall on the seaside.

Miffin stood at the door, looking at the sky.

Next to him stood the apprentice Semir, who was ready to greet the guests. The mayor of Hanjiao Town asked curiously: "Mr. Miffin, why do you insist on letting them go up?

In fact, if you ask, they can use the road below to get here."

Hearing this, Miffin smiled and said, "That won't do. After all, she is a member of the royal family. Even if she is my sister, she can't just spy on the North."

"The development here is really good. If the royal family knows, they will definitely do something stupid."

"I used to be a member of the royal family, so I know them too well."

Semir: "..."

Isn't this the same as telling myself that I am not a good person?

He didn't ask any more questions, but Miffin looked at the young and somewhat exaggerated mayor and continued, "Mr. Robert has already told me that he plans to retire.

I guess you will take over the future. You stay with me during this period, and I will tell you everything I know."

"Ah? You want to teach me in person?" Samir blinked and said in surprise, "Rober is going to retire?"

His heart was pounding - Robert retired, did he want him to take over the stewardship of the castle?

"Yeah." Miffin nodded: "His son and wife are coming back soon, and he plans to resign as steward and enjoy life with his family."

"Kloya personally planned his life plan after retirement."

The young bishop showed an envious look on his face: "It would be great if I could have such a fertile land to rest after countless years of hard work."

He was really a little jealous.

You know, even in the Church of Mother Earth, it is basically impossible to really rest, and you have to devote yourself to God until the end of your life.

Samir scratched his hair: "Isn't it very simple? When you want to rest, just tell Master Cloya.

Will the master refuse your request?"

"..."Miffin blinked and suddenly felt that he might have really thought too much.

Yes, will Cloya refuse his request?

When he thought that he could enjoy his retirement life happily, he couldn't help but smile, which made Mibeka, who came by car, look puzzled.

This, isn't this her brother?

She had never seen Miffin smile like this before.

Mibeka called out hesitantly: "Brother?"

"Yeah." Miffin's face changed rapidly after seeing her, and he returned to the kind of warm but somewhat distant smile.

"Don't call me brother, dear Mibeka."

"..."

Seeing this, Mibeka was sure that this was her brother, and there was no change.

...

After picking up Mibeka and Estner, Miffin personally led them across the cross-sea bridge and arrived at Hanjiao Island.

Then he saw Cloya rushing over.

After all, it was about giving him the Duke's token, which was a bit important, so Cloya took the time to rush over.

"Master Cloya."

Mibeka did not delay and took out the things he brought from the royal family - a scepter engraved with the map of the North and a small platinum compass.

"This is your scepter. You will be the Duke of Hanjiao in the future. The other one is the key to the floating island promised to you by the royal family."

Kloya took the two things casually, glanced at the princess of the royal family, and smiled: "You are also a guest. Let Mifeiyin take you around and bring some gifts back."

"I will take care of the mermaids."

"Estner, please follow me."

After saying that, he disappeared with Estner. There was only a weak and almost imperceptible space fluctuation in the air.

Mibeka was stunned.

She had never seen such a casual person.

It was Mifeiyin who patted her face: "Let's go, what are you thinking about? Is the duke of a kingdom so precious?"

"If he hadn't brought the key to the floating island, he wouldn't have had time to see you."

"..."

The princess once again clearly understood Kroya's attitude, sighed deeply, and didn't feel that the status of the royal family was offended.

After all, strength is everything.
