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

Chapter 43: Sea Shell (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
What could make him so alert must of course be monsters, wild monsters - in the distance there were more black-gray dorsal fins breaking through the waves.

One of the dorsal fins appeared particularly thick and sharp. After splitting the sea water, it took several seconds to recover.

Obviously it is the remnant of magic.

Well, such terrifying magic.

"...Could it be a level 4 monster?"

Kloya became a little nervous. A level 3 monster could be killed by human wave tactics, but a level 4 monster with a group of minions would be troublesome.

He dared to come to the beach like this, naturally he had the confidence and a trump card, the source of which was that shell.

He reached out and touched the small shell hanging around his waist. It was a gift from the mermaids. He was sure that it contained a trace of the mermaids' unique power, and it should be able to explode if stimulated by magic.

Mermaids are the absolute kings of the ocean. Even the slightest surge of magic power can definitely scare away these sharks.

But the problem is: he is not sure what will happen if he uses the power inside the shell, and whether it will affect the stability of the space inside the shell.

If this precious space magic weapon is destroyed, it would be a huge loss.

Just as he was hesitating, the female dolphin that had not moved forward suddenly swam forward.

He stood in the way of the sharks, and then——

"Chirp!"

There was inexplicably a strange echo in the sound it made, as if it were a song being sung from the depths of the ocean.

The waves immediately calmed down under the soothing sound, and the surrounding sea was silent, as if a magical power was resonating with it.

Croa's expression remained unchanged, but she was a little surprised in her heart - this was definitely the power of a mermaid. When did she bless this dolphin?

Was it that time?
He is not sure, but that does not prevent the current situation from changing.

Under the interference of the mermaid power,
The shark group, which had been so aggressive, suddenly hesitated and slowed down. Finally, the level 4 shark led the group, which shook its tail and swam away.

The danger was thus easily averted.

The female dolphin swam back and circled Cloa several times, chirping as if to seek credit.

Kloya couldn't help laughing, reached out and stroked it, praising it: "Very good."

aside.

Knight Norman was truly relieved. His clothes had long been soaked with sweat - fighting against the magic fish in such a sea environment was really too difficult for him, a first-level knight.

Fortunately, the wizard has a solution, even the dolphins he raises are so powerful!

'It's absolutely omnipotent.'

Just as he was thinking this, the lord's calm voice came -

"Okay, take this shark back first and have someone take care of it. I'll go back later to taste the shark fin."

The knight nodded quickly.

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

"Ah."

After giving instructions to the knight, Croa waved to a dolphin, which immediately swam over, leaned against the side of the boat, and let its master ride on it.

As a second-level magical beast, it is of course easy for it to carry the weight of a person.

Croix rode the dolphin away surrounded by schools of fish and ducks, leaving Norman struggling to tie the shark to the boat.

This is probably because the power of the mermaid is still resonating, otherwise the smell of the shark's blood would definitely attract a lot of magic fish.

……

the other side.

The dolphins were very fast, and it took only a few minutes to reach Kroya's next target, the sea above the coral reef. They didn't dare to go to the shark's lair, because who knows if they will run into the shark school led by the level 4 shark, so they had to wait for the dolphins to explore it quietly afterwards.

During this period, Kloya also asked the dolphins, and he figured out by guessing how they managed to subdue so many followers.

As expected, it was a mermaid.

The mermaid gave them a little blessing, and just this little blessing was enough for them to recruit some followers in the offshore area.

The dolphins also said that they had prepared a lot of food for Cloya and could give it to him at any time.

Regarding this, Croa is still a little bit looking forward to it.

But now we still have to deal with those possible giant clams.

After riding on a dolphin, Croa performed an underwater breathing technique on himself, and then dived into the sea with the dolphins, ducks and fish.

The ocean without any pollution is very beautiful.

The sunlight shines directly on the seabed - there is a large area of ​​colorful corals on the seabed, and many small fish swim in and out of it.

They cover a vast area and grow very large. Each one is like a giant tree, entangled with each other, making it look like an underwater forest.

"This coral reef is so huge... It feels like it's at least seven or eight acres."

He thought for a moment, then reached out and patted the dolphin.

He had just communicated with the dolphins. They had been exploring here for some time and already knew where the clams were.

The dolphin understood and immediately took him towards a certain area. After passing some corals, they came to a bottomless ravine.

Croa looked down and felt that it was bottomless and not even the sunlight could reach it.

To be honest, it’s a bit creepy to look at it this way, for fear that some strange thing will suddenly come out of it.

Of course he didn't plan to go down. Underwater breathing has limitations. If he was trapped and died down there because the time was up, that would be really stupid.

But the dolphins, fish and ducks have no such concerns.

Immediately, the male dolphin led the ducks and fish schools into the water, leaving only the female dolphin with Cloya.

They were not idle either. Kloya rode a dolphin to search in the coral reefs, and used his magic to sense and find corals with relatively abundant magic power.

Then... he unceremoniously put it into the shell.

He walked around in the coral reef like this and soon found four or five corals of good quality, and stuffed them all into the shells.

The storage space inside this shell is roughly the size of a house of about 20 cubic meters, so it is not difficult to store these corals.

Coral is a good thing. Not only can it be used to make potions, it also has the effect of purifying the air. The most important thing is that this kind of magical coral can be used as the core of a magic circle after a little modification.

For example, a magic circle that stores magic power.

That is something every mage must have.

Currently, Croa cannot afford to build advanced items like mana pools and elemental pools, but it should be possible to make a basic version using corals.

When doing some magic experiments in the future, it is obviously not enough to rely solely on his magic power for energy supply. At this time, stable and continuous output is needed.

Only after having the magic core can the transformation of the castle officially begin, otherwise he would be exhausted if he relied on it all.

He continued to look for suitable corals. After about five or six minutes, when he was hesitating whether to go up first, the dolphins finally rushed out with a school of ducks and fish.

"Oh? That's quite a harvest."

Cloya had good eyesight and had already seen that behind the flock of ducks, there was a basket formed by ice magic. Inside was a total of five silver-blue shells, each of which was the size of a millstone.

They worked together to drag the basket and swam towards this side.
