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

Chapter 5 5. Planting Sunflowers

After landing, the magic crystal grew roots like a magic plant, extending from the inside of the glittering magic crystal, and then extending and spreading in all directions.

The crystal blue light could not be covered even by the sun.

That was the halo of magic.

They quickly evenly covered the open space of about 30 square meters. They were intertwined and entangled. They were obviously root-shaped, but they grew very regularly.

Like the ridges of cultivated land.

Kloya, who had been watching them, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, "Three pieces should be enough for the time being..."

This spell is a must-have spell for mages to farm in barren land, because those lands will more or less have insufficient magic power, which is very unfavorable for the growth of magic plants.

With this spell, the "magic roots" spread from the magic crystal can provide magic power for the magic plant to ensure that there is enough magic power for the magic plant to grow.

At the same time, this is only the first step of the magic field method.

The magic power of the magic crystal will gradually transform the soil. When the magic power is completely infiltrated into the soil, the second step of modification can be started.

For example, adding special potions such as fire potions and frost potions to transform the magic composition of the soil, making them more suitable for the corresponding magic plants.

The land restrictions are not a restriction for mages. Qualified mages can farm and explore resources anywhere.

Steward Rob watched Cloya cast spells and the happy smile on the latter's face, and suddenly felt that it might be good to stay away from the capital.

At least his master can do whatever he wants.

While the knights and Bartos are busy at this moment, he asked: "Master, what are you going to do with those servants?"

"Repatriate them all, and Rob will select a new batch."

Rob didn't have too many unexpected emotions. When he saw Cloya not even looking at those servants just now, he knew that Cloya must look down on them.

In fact, he didn't look down on them either.

Compared to the servants trained by the Royal Capital Mage Association and the Imperial Household Agency, these servants are simply not worthy of attention.

"Don't worry, I will do my best to train a group of suitable servants." Robert nodded.

"Then I'll leave it to you... We just came here and don't know much about the environment. The specific situation also requires you to pay attention, Robert." Kloya smiled and continued:

"The lord has an army to maintain the security of the territory. That army must be firmly controlled. Let Joshua and Art go."

"Let's do this, Robert, you can choose the right ones, and let their children come to the castle as mage apprentices and knight apprentices.

Let Chris and Norman handle these."

This is the solution he had thought of a long time ago.

Anyway, he has the final say on what to learn in the castle. It is normal to work for more than ten years and then learn spells. It is also normal to learn anything.

This is completely his one-man show.

In the future, when I grow crops, I will have to monitor the conditions and data of various magic plants at all times. I can't let him do it all.

At this time, some obedient and well-behaved students are needed.

Training from a young age can ensure loyalty and control their parents who are soldiers - let alone other things, at least their physical fitness should be significantly different from others.

After all, the amount of money earned and the quality of life are different, and the physical fitness is naturally different.

At that time, those with some talent will come to help him farm, those without talent but with good physical fitness will become knight apprentices, and at worst, they can be servants and do hard labor.

To be honest, if he had not brought too few people, it would not be like this. But there is no way, now this method can only be used to quickly grasp and control.

This is a blatant conspiracy, and anyone who is smart can see it, but who can refuse the wizard and knight from the capital?

Not to mention that he is already a lord.

The peasant servants in the territory are born to submit and work for him.

If there are really those stubborn people, then we can only trouble the four knights to visit them one by one.

I believe they will make a "rational" choice.

Steward Rob looked at his master in surprise, wondering if this exile had suddenly enlightened his master, and he was immediately very relieved.

"Don't worry, just leave it to me!"

He made a promise.

"Leave it to you, Rob, I am most confident."

He didn't say anything else, such as surveying the island, census, etc. Rob had planned it early.

With such a reliable steward, Kroya was very satisfied.

...

Time passed quickly.

Behind each of the knights was a dark-skinned man carrying a large basket.

It was filled with sandy loam, which is also one of the most suitable soils for sunflowers to grow.

"Sir, these people said they are good at growing crops, so I brought them here." Rob's son Joshua said respectfully.

"Okay, do it well. I'll reward you if you do it well."

Kloya pointed to the ground covered with magic roots and said, "Evenly cover the roots with soil, and leave enough space between the roots and the soil..."

Magic plants are more troublesome than ordinary crops, and they are also easier to grow.

As long as there is enough magic and nutrition, they can grow safely, and basically they will not get insects or diseases-but if they get insects or diseases, it will be a huge trouble.

These men are really good at farming and are really careful. They quickly spread the soil evenly and made ridges according to the distribution of magic roots.

The magic roots are covered under the soil, which not only releases magic, but also kills insect eggs hidden inside.

"Good, your rewards, let's go!"

Seeing this, the satisfied Kloya generously rewarded each of them with a copper coin, and then ordered them to retreat.

These serfs were of course ecstatic. You know, serving as a soldier in the castle only earns thirty copper coins a month, and this casual move actually earned one copper coin.

It was really a great joy.

Several people couldn't suppress their joy and walked out, deciding to publicize the generosity and generosity of the new lord.

Of course, Kloya didn't care what they were thinking.

He had taken out the crystal bottle and carefully planted the sunflower seeds that he had added the "Sun Ray" engraving.

After planting the twelve precious seeds, his excited heart, which had been since he found the golden finger, finally settled down.

Next, he just had to wait patiently for it to grow.

The magic plant had to be planted, and the sea god water wheat and olive trees had to be planted in places. He also had to see if there were any hidden magic plants that had not been discovered.

Of course, he couldn't fall behind in his studies.

The source of the magician's transcendent status came from all kinds of knowledge and spells. Strength was supreme, and it could never be dealt with casually.

'There are still a lot of things to do...'

Just as he was staring at the ground and thinking, Joshua suddenly plucked up the courage to take out the two big coconuts he had just picked with his companions.

"My lord, these are the coconuts we picked. Do you want to eat some to fill your stomach?"

Kroya came back to his senses. He looked at the two huge coconuts and suddenly felt that he was really thirsty and hungry.

He smiled and said, "Okay, tell the cook to cook. I want to try whether there is anything delicious on Hanjiao Island."

As he said that, he walked down the steps with a brisk pace.
