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

Chapter 45: Coral Magic Pool
When Cloya returned to the castle with a box full of shell instruments, the butler Robert was pacing anxiously.

"what happened?"

He thought something had happened, but when Rob saw him, his face immediately lit up with joy: "Master Mage, that shark...it, it has a magic core!"

The butler's voice trembled with excitement at the end.

Magic cores are special treasures that can only be created by high-level magical beasts, magical beasts above level six.

If a low-level magical beast gave birth to a magic core, it meant that it could at least reach level seven or even level eight in the future.

Magic cores have many uses, the biggest of which is that they can be used to cultivate magical beasts and serve as the core of magic arrays. Cloya has always wanted to get one.

I didn't expect it to be delivered to my door.

At the same time, he was somewhat dazed.

No wonder a level 4 demon shark came seeking revenge right after we killed it. That could be the future of our human family!
Without the power of mermaids, it would be really difficult to end the situation.

No, it’s already difficult to end it.

It seems that I have to think of a way to get rid of them all, otherwise it will be a huge hidden danger when I go out to sea in the future.

After a brief moment of distraction, Croa said calmly, "Take it to my lab."

Then, he walked towards the castle naturally.

It seemed that he was not surprised at all by the magic core.

After Robert saluted, he quickly ran away - in order to prevent the magic core from being snatched away by someone without eyes, he called in four knights to guard it.

……

He returned to the lab.

King Muyao Quteng immediately said respectfully: "Welcome back, Master."

The vines, which had grown increasingly luxuriantly, were like flexible tentacles. They picked up the cotton handkerchief prepared beside them and brought it over.

Kloya, who was used to being taken care of during this period, took it familiarly, wiped his face and hands, sat on his recliner, and leaned back slightly.

"Master, please try this."

Then, Qu Teng handed over a glass of slightly cool coconut juice.

"Well, not bad."

Took a sip of coconut juice.

Although this coconut juice is not from the magic coconut plant, it still contains abundant magic power and is refreshing and sweet.

The feeling of heat and fatigue in my body dissipated almost immediately.

It is indeed a pleasure.

"Whoo~~~"

Kloya let out a long breath, leaned back in the recliner, closed his eyes and meditated for a while. He didn't open his eyes until the Woody King brought the magic core that Robert brought to him.

What comes into view is a strange hexagram crystal.

Every corner of it is natural, as if it is a carefully crafted work of art. A ray of azure light flickers inside, and you can vaguely see the shadow of a shark swimming inside.

"Wow, there is a shark soul in this magic core?"

He narrowed his eyes and rubbed his fingers on the magic core, feeling the abundant magic power and the fresh soul breath inside.

It was obvious that he had picked up a treasure. The magic cores with Warcraft souls would be of extremely high quality, and the souls of Warcraft could be used to do some things.

For example, refining some magic potions involving the soul, making instruments with elementary wisdom, cultivating the tower spirit of the magic tower...

Especially the last point, he is now planning to use corals to make a magic pool. Can he use the soul in this magic core to cultivate the tower spirit?
"It might work……"

He carefully recalled the knowledge the original owner had learned in the Mage Association, and found a clever way to create a tower spirit.

It is to use the Warcraft soul in the magic core as a culture medium, erase the consciousness and memory inside, and then create a brand new tower spirit that obeys the orders of the wizard.

This method is only suitable for low-level wizards, because real high-level wizards... can even create souls, and the puppets they make are almost the same as normal people.

After thinking about it, he asked King Qu Teng to bring parchment and a pen, intending to calculate how much money would be needed.

"A high-level soul-requiting crystal, a bottle of solution that can extend the consciousness of the soul... and most importantly, the water of the Styx from the River of Hades in the lower plane."

After finishing writing, he took out the crystal card of the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce, put the parchment in, and asked how many magic crystals were needed. The answer made him silent immediately -

"It is estimated that 3,000 first-level magic crystals will be needed. If you need materials with more magic power, the price will be..."

The gentle and intellectual female voice announced a huge number that made his heart tremble - this number was enough to buy a city!
Moreover, this was still the lowest level of Tower Spirit culture medium, which was only needed to purchase materials. One also had to consider whether there would be any loss in drawing the magic circle, and whether it could succeed in one go.

Not to mention the subsequent investment.

But how many magic crystals does he have now?

The answer is more than a dozen.

A basin of cold water was poured over his head, and Kloya calmed down immediately.

He is so arrogant that he even dares to dream about the spirit of the magician tower.

He silently put the crystal card away. This was something he really couldn't do right now. Even if the mermaid refined the water crystal for him, there was no need to do it to be honest.

The most urgent task would be to develop the basic industries first, transform the castle and the surrounding land into magic fields, plant some magic plants and build magic arrays.

When the territory can generate endless benefits for you, then you can start to covet the Tower Spirit.

After all, Tower Spirit... is still too luxurious.

Let’s just treat it as a long-term goal. The short-term goal is to develop territory.

……

After putting aside the matter of Tower Spirit, he carefully put away the magic core and tasted the shark fin soup sent by the kitchen.

The shark fin of the third-level magic shark is indeed unimaginably delicious, with a good taste and extremely fresh, silky and chewy. Eating it feels like a shark is rampaging in your mouth.

After eating, his magic power increased a lot.

After tasting the delicious food, he started to get busy - making pearl cores and making magic pools with corals.

The former was fine and only took a short while to complete; but the latter took him a full ten days and used up all the remaining dozen or so magic crystals.

There is no other way. The mana pool cannot be made with just corals. It requires some basic magic building materials.

The magic-conducting pipes and magic-fixing crystal bricks needed to build the magic pool are relatively cheap. They are made of the most basic crystal ore, and the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce sells them in piles.

One magic crystal can buy ten magic pipes or five magic-fixing crystal bricks.

After more than ten days of hard work, his laboratory now had three coral trees and three pools of about three meters in size.

The coral tree was made by combining the most magical parts of several coral trees that Kroa had obtained, and there were completely transparent crystals connecting the branches.

When the clear crystals and colorful corals are put together, the original natural beauty is given a touch of mysterious and regular beauty from the wizard.

According to what he had learned at the Mage Association, these corals could not only store magic power, but also allow magic power to flow inside them, ensuring that the magic power remained active.

They were placed in three pools of exactly the same size, and the castle's floor tiles had been replaced with magic pipes.

The magic flowing in the three pools is different. They are the most basic and most common pure magic, water magic, and fire magic.

There is only a shallow layer.

According to Cloya's calculations, these magic pools can carry about five hundred first-level magic crystals.

In theory, a complete element pool should be able to accommodate all elements, allowing them to coexist harmoniously in one pool and be available at any time.

But Croa couldn't do it yet.

With his current abilities, he can only produce a beggar's version, and even his magic can only be the most common water and fire magic.

But at least it was a success.

Even if it is the beggar's version, it is enough to allow him to use magic power at any time. After all, he is only a second-level wizard.

He let out a long sigh, admired his masterpiece for a while, left the laboratory, and prepared to go to the sunflower field.

The magic pool has been built, and the pipes leading up to the sunflower field have also been laid. Now it's time to transfer the magic power drawn from the sunflowers into the pool.

And that newly grown sunflower.

It also gave him a big surprise.
