What's wrong with me, a mage, loving to farm?

Chapter 193. The Newborn Sea, the Newborn Light

Chloe once saw the bard Wendy's "Ode to the Moon" written by the Orpheus Oak.

The last sentence almost explicitly stated it—

"The illusory moon gave birth to wisdom that permeated the land, and the small blue flower symbolizes both good fortune and misfortune."

It turns out that the so-called "wisdom everywhere" refers to the grass of wisdom, which is the small, blue grass in front of us that looks like foxtail grass.

What then is "birth of the virtual moon"?

There was a mermaid right next to him, so Kroya tentatively asked, "I once read a book that mentioned the birth of a virtual moon."

"..." Aria glanced at Chloe with an indescribable look, without giving any reply.

She simply reached out and stroked the Spirit Grass on the ground: "These are the eyes of a phantom god."

"It possesses almost limitless illusory power."

"Shouldn't this meet your requirements?"

Kroya bent down to look at it and tried to communicate with the little flower. As soon as he sent out his thoughts, the little flower responded.

"madness!"

"Mermaids are so stupid!"

"Ughhhhh! This is so stupid, I'm crying!"

Its voice was a clear, androgynous voice, firing off a barrage of complaints like a machine gun: "I've been around for so long, can't they come and ask me for help?"

"The tree made me born at this time every time, just to help them!"

"..."

Kroa blinked and glanced at Aria beside her.

The latter immediately asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

She was clearly unaware that the eyes of her own god were criticizing her race, and she looked completely bewildered.

"It's nothing."

"I need an absolutely quiet space where no one can disturb or spy on me."

He made his demand: "By your gods, no being may spy on me."

Before Aria could speak, the Spirit Grass beneath Kroya's feet suddenly began to sway wildly, and his companions around him also began to shake.

A bright blue halo formed a cube that enveloped Kroya. The distortion intensified until the cube no longer even belonged to this world.

"...Huh? What's this?"

She was completely bewildered. She hadn't even reported this to the Mermaid King yet, which meant it was the Spirit Grass, or even the instruction of a illusory god.

Is this human mage really that powerful?

It's simply unbelievable that a celestial being could respond to it.

She immediately got up and left, crossing the Fetal Sea once more into the depths of the ocean; the king had to know about this.

……

Inside the azure cube.

Kroya sensed her surroundings and found that it was indeed completely sealed off, with not a trace of any other presence.

He reached out and touched the Spirit Grass, praising, "You're quite helpful."

The latter swayed slightly, emitting a sense of pride.

He then urged, "Son of man, if you have any ideas, hurry up. I can only hold on for six hours at most."

"Don't worry, don't worry." Kroya patted it again and began the engraving process.

Being able to perform the task with difficulty is one thing, but engraving it is another.

The engraving process did not go smoothly.

Time passed slowly.

Half an hour, an hour, two hours... Finally, after more than five hours, Kroya barely managed to finish engraving it.

[Inscription successful, Spirit Grass (Silver Moon Mirror Treasure Box)]

[When this magical plant casts "Silver Moon Mirror - Treasure Box," it can use the power of Illusion to be immune to divine spell penalties, and the power of Illusion will strengthen this divine spell based on the amount of Illusion power it possesses.]

The current divine spell is projected to change to: Azure Sky Sword.

Because this magical plant desperately wants to help the merfolk resolve the pollution of their womb, it will proactively share its abilities with its companions.

The illusory god approves of your actions.

You can extend your consciousness and soul into the area covered by the Spirit Grass, and perceive the process of all things reviving.

"call."

Kroa breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he hadn't experienced an engraving process that lasted nearly six hours in a long time, and even he was a little tired.

Fortunately, the rewards were enormous.

The azure wall vanished, and from the intelligent grass at his feet, dense magical runes and moonlight rapidly spread outwards.

In just a moment, it covered all the Spirit Grass.

They cheered and jumped for joy.

"They're here!"

"finally……"

The intelligent grasses simultaneously released clear moonlight and azure particles.

The particles converged in mid-air.

A strange shape and a huge shadow flashed through the air, as fast as an illusion.

In the sky, a crack appeared at the bottom of the moon, from which flowed a somewhat viscous magical energy, like childbirth.

An object fell out of the moon's body, still covered in some lingering mucus.

It was a sword.

It was covered by moonlight and particles, making it impossible to see its exact shape. All that could be seen was the blade spinning and the gem on the hilt trembling slightly.

next second.

"Whoosh—"

The giant sword fell directly into the sea.

Its landing created towering waves, but these waves were not filthy; rather, they were extremely clean and clear.

It was as if every drop of water and mist was sparkling.

"Boom!"

A towering tsunami rippled outwards from the area where the giant sword fell, sweeping across the surroundings and submerging everything from the sky and ocean to the land.

"It's the Sea God's sword!"

"The Pride of Atlantis!"

The mermaids in the sea were immediately intrigued, especially the female mermaids who were giving birth. They swam directly towards the giant sword and the tsunami, using all their magic and strength to finally reach them.

The clear, azure seawater acted like a tonic, nourishing their exhausted bodies.

The little mermaids were born in this magical seawater, their eyes still closed, before they swam away with the tsunami.

This time, however, they would not be polluted by the filthy seawater, and their magic was quickly replenished in the seawater.

In the blink of an eye, it went from having almost no magic power to level one, level two, and finally level three before its magic power level finally stopped.

The remaining adult mermaids all closed their eyes, shook their heads, and sang the Mermaid Song together.

The singing this time was cheerful, like fish swimming freely in the blue sea.

They quickly became engrossed in singing.

Even the mermaid king Mihai appeared in the sea, leading the mermaids in singing—in mermaid tradition, how well one sings is an important criterion for judgment.

If you can't sing well, you'll be discriminated against even when you go out and sing with your friends.

To be the King of Mermaids, he must sing very well.

……

On the coast.

Kroya's expression was somewhat strange, and she blinked: "Is this the birth of the illusory moon? The moon gave birth to a sword?"

He did not try to escape, and was soon swept away by the raging tsunami.

The mermaid Aria, who was standing nearby, had already run off to sing, seemingly knowing that Kroya would be alright.

He didn't feel any pressure at all; the seemingly raging waves felt like a gentle breeze when they came to him.

He was enveloped by the gentle, cool seawater, imbued with the magic of the ocean, as if embraced by a soft, smooth sofa, and the voice of the Spirit Grass echoed in his ears:

"sun!"

"The boss will cover it up for you!"

"Join us in the joy of new life!"

After a brief hesitation, Kroya released his light. It was a rare opportunity, and he wanted to see if his magic would change.

A bright light emanated from his body.

The three colors of light had just appeared when they were compressed by a force and turned into a warm white.

That was... the light of the sun that the world had never seen before.

Because the mermaids were almost all immersed in singing, his light went unseen and was easily carried away by the tsunami towards the land and the depths of the ocean.

The icy-cold seawater instantly became warm.

The moonlight in the sky completely disappeared, and the whole world was covered by white sunlight.

After the tsunami swept across the land, tender green shoots sprouted from the earth, reflecting a vibrant green halo under the sunlight.

They converged into the sunlight.

As Kroya radiated sunlight, she seemed to sense something, and the fourth major chapter of "The Rainbow Poem," the green chapter, seemed to react slightly.

This chapter...

"It's related to vitality."

Kroya muttered to herself, not giving it much thought, and continued to immerse herself in the pleasure of releasing magic.

The feeling of being able to unleash one's magic without limit was truly wonderful; he hadn't experienced such a carefree release of magic in a long time.

He was completely unaware that deep in the ocean, a female mermaid was also trying her best to give birth.

She... is the only mermaid still conscious, and the only one who has not received the blessings of the moon and the sea god.

What warmed her was the white sunlight.

……

outside world.

The protective glow covering the entire Atlantis Sea is gradually weakening and dimming over time.

It had only developed a few cracks when the warm ocean currents and monsoons were already eagerly blowing across the entire northern region, bringing warmth, moisture, and vitality.

There's also the magic of the sun in it.

The vegetation that had been buried under the cold snow for months, as well as the magical beasts that had been hibernating for months, all awoke one by one.

Their magical power seems to have increased significantly.

In particular, the plants and trees grew at a visible speed after the snow melted, growing even more robust and lush than before.

When herbivorous animals see such abundant vegetation, they will naturally feast on it immediately.

Carnivorous animals, seeing herbivores feasting, would have their eyes light up and rush over to feast on them as well.

The cycle of nature continues.

The angel at the bottom of the lake on Hanjiao Island saw all of this and smiled.

"To be able to radiate the light of the sun within the realm of the illusory gods..."

"You like this hypocritical friend very much too."

As it was saying this, it suddenly sensed something, reached out and traversed space, arriving outside the island of Hanjiao.

Eyes brimming with platinum-gold light searched the empty sea.

Even though He saw nothing, He still knew what had once existed here.

"Regnat".

For the first time, He showed a somewhat guilty expression.

Just as a phantom god has a guardian, so too does He have a guardian, only His guardian is more affected.

He placed his hand on his chest and said solemnly:

May you be well.

"God said, may your future be more peaceful and your path smooth."

The voice of angels echoed across the sea, but no mortal could hear it.

……

The tsunami lasted for a full day.

Kroya then enjoyed a pleasant day.

Finally, I stood contentedly on the soft grass, feeling the magic within my body that was even purer and more abundant than before.

"That's really good."

"If I could stay a little longer, I could have leveled up by now."

"Yeah?"

A gentle male voice came, without any fluctuation, and there was not even a sense of magical energy disturbance.

A strong-looking man, or rather a male mermaid, appeared next to Kroa.

Some people can truly exude a kingly aura at a glance, and this mermaid king is no exception.

Kroa remained polite: "Hello, King of Mermaids."

"Hello, Chloe."

The Mermaid King spoke casually: "You have helped us purify the Sea of ​​the Dead, so the little mermaids born in the future will not have to worry about survival."

What do you want?

"Anything that's in the ocean, I can give you."

Wow, a big spender has arrived.

After thinking it over carefully, Kroya realized that he didn't really need anything. Of course, he could ask the Mermaid King for resources and territory.

But I always feel like that wouldn't be very interesting.

This precious promise would be too cheap to ask for some mundane things—this is the Mermaid King who has a virtuous god as his backer!

Rounded up, that is the king of the ocean.

So Chloe gently shook her head: "I want to keep it, is that alright?"

"Of course, human friend."

Mihai reached out and took out a pearl that was as big as a goose egg, and casually tossed it to Kroa.

"!!!"

The latter's eye twitched slightly, and he quickly caught it.

A pearl the size of a goose egg!

The magic power inside was so abundant it was almost enviable; it was definitely a rare treasure that could only be produced by magical beasts or clams of level six or higher.

If you took it to the capital and sold it, it would be enough to get you tens of millions of magic crystals.

The more precious something is in the ocean, the rarer it is, because these things are controlled by the merfolk, and are very difficult for humans to obtain.

"Use this to contact me whenever you need me to fulfill my promise," Mihai said.

"..."

So it's just a communication device? I really don't understand the grandeur of you merfolk.

He put the pearl away and returned the Illusionary Core Treasure Box that he had been holding to Mihai.

He actually really wanted this thing.

But even a fool would know that the other party would never give it to him, and it's highly unlikely that he would use it to exchange for a promise.

But after accepting the treasure box, the latter still showed no sign of leaving, as if he was waiting for something. His gaze remained fixed on the distant sea, a mixture of trepidation and anticipation in his eyes.

Kroya also glanced at the distance with a puzzled look.

The sea had now returned to its azure color, and the waves gently lapped against the shore, splashing up spray.

The entire sea was so clear it looked as if it had been created anew, much more beautiful than the sea outside.

"Um?"

After waiting for a while, he seemed to see a figure in the distance... no, two figures.

One of them was a woman with long, flowing blonde hair.

The other one... is a little mermaid with white skin.

Uh, it's a male mermaid.

He was about one meter tall, so he couldn't be called a little mermaid anymore. He was about the height and appearance of a seven or eight-year-old child, and he did look somewhat similar to King Michael next to him.

They'll probably all be handsome and refined guys in the future.

Kroya had already thought of something, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

Everyone else seems to be raising mermaid princesses, but why is it that I'm raising a mermaid prince?

"My love."

King Mihai excitedly ran over, like a lovestruck young man, and hugged the golden-haired mermaid tightly, completely disregarding his son and the strangers present.

They went straight into a deep, suffocating kiss, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.

It seemed like they were going to kiss forever.

Kroa: "..."

The little mermaid sighed softly as she looked at her unreliable parents, walked over to Chloe, and reached out her hand.

"elder brother."

Faced with such an obedient and adorable child, and who seemed to possess a magic power extremely similar to his own—the magic of the sun.

Even Kroa couldn't refuse.

He nodded: "Mm."

He took the little mermaid's hand.

"Brother, Mother has allowed me to leave the ocean and visit you. She also wants me to be your student."

Look, I've got something good! Let's run away quickly, or Father will definitely stop me!

The little mermaid took out a seashell and shook it—it was covered with dense spatial magic patterns, probably the same kind as the spatial seashell that Kroya had obtained.

The more spatial patterns a shell has, the larger it becomes.

Hmm... this one in front of me.

He couldn't imagine how big it was inside, or how much it could hold. He was somewhat numb, and was simply pulled away by the little mermaid.

The little mermaid led him across the ocean to the place where the mermaids had just given birth.

By this time, the mermaids had naturally recovered.

Upon seeing Kroya arrive, they immediately gathered around with their children.

They treated Cloa to a very warm welcome.

She even gave him one of her most treasured possessions.

Among them were pearls the size of eggs, crystal seashells, moon coral...

Surrounded by so many enthusiastic mermaids dressed in extremely revealing clothes, Kroya remained calm.

He took out the jewelry he had made and began exchanging gifts with the mermaids—these exquisitely crafted pieces, brimming with classical beauty, naturally sparked a frenzy among the mermaids.

In just a few minutes, all three hundred pieces of jewelry were snatched up by the forty-odd mermaids, including those that were clearly male ornaments.

During this time, the little mermaids also took the initiative to help him maintain order, tidying up the items under the guidance of the mermaid prince.

She doesn't look like a newborn juvenile mermaid at all.

In the end, they obtained beautiful jewels, while Kroa obtained precious materials from the seabed.

It can be said that everyone was happy.

But as he was counting his gains, a plant of spiritual intelligence suddenly sprouted from under his feet, as if it were a mushroom.

It waved its tail-like flower, gesturing for Chloe to look into the distance, and a sound that only Chloe could hear rang out:

"Human friend, the boss said the illusory god still has some power, you can still make a wish~"
