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

Chapter 207. The Successor of Abundant Spiritual Energy Asks the Gods for a Nightmare.

"So beautiful."

"Compared to the wonders created by those sorcerers, this scene should bring the most comfort and joy to the Mother Goddess."

The boy with golden hair opened his arms, a look of rapture on his face. His white robe fluttered without wind, as if a warm breeze was blowing around him.

It was a warm autumn breeze carrying the scent of wheat.

"Phew~~~"

They blew from the boy, gently brushing over the growing corn and potatoes, bringing them blessings.

Logically, this harvest-related spiritual energy should cause the crops in the fields to grow rapidly, reaching full maturity within just a few minutes.

This was also the gift he intended to give to Chloe.

However, before he could truly unleash his own harvest spirit, a dusty young man carrying a hoe came running over angrily.

"Hey! Don't cast spells on these crops!"

"Stop!"

Jamie, carrying a hoe made of walnut wood and alloy, interrupted the boy's spellcasting on the field and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If these winds directly ripen the crops, then this batch of experimental data will be completely wasted!

The thought of all his hard work these past few days only to have the experimental data rendered useless might make him want to jump into the sea.

"Um?"

The boy wasn't angry; he stopped.

He said gently, "I don't know if there are any taboos or inappropriate things here. Could you please explain them to me?"

He was quite handsome, even somewhat feminine, with golden hair cascading down his shoulders. His voice was pleasant and soothing, giving him a very pleasant appearance.

Jamie didn't answer immediately, but carefully looked the other person up and down and at the people behind him carrying large and small bags.

Seemingly having confirmed something, he then asked, "You must be the Son of Harvest that Lord Kroya spoke of."

To everyone's surprise, the boy shook his head seriously: "No one but the Mother Goddess can claim to have a bountiful harvest; I am merely a traveler under the Mother Goddess's light."

You can just call me by my name.

My name is Mifein Norland.

"..."

Upon hearing the name, Jamie's expression turned even more shocked than if he had seen a ghost, even though he had learned quite a bit from Kroya.

Of course, this also includes Professor Robert's course on aristocratic heraldry.

Norland... isn't that the name of the kingdom? So the person in front of me is not only a follower of the Earth Mother Goddess and a son of the harvest, but also a member of the Norland royal family!

Well, it's hard to say whether Jamie is more noble as the son of the harvest or a member of the Norland royal family, but at least he lives in this country.

The fact that he was a prince did indeed surprise him briefly, and he was momentarily dazed.

However, he quickly came to his senses.

So what if he's a prince? He's still Kroa's first apprentice. In his heart, his mentor is no less than any king.

"It really is you."

"Lord Chloe has instructed me to make sure you are treated well."

"Why don't we sit down, have some water, and talk it over?"

After calming down, he invited Miffy and the others to a nearby house where they could rest and drink water.

Miffy, of course, wouldn't refuse, and nodded: "Okay, then please lead the way."

Please follow me.

Jamie led them through fields where tender shoots had already sprouted, and soon they arrived at a small house standing at the edge of the field.

The house is square in shape, just a standard "house", and the walls are gray and dusty, so it doesn't look special.

However, in accordance with Kroya's principle of doing things well, they even installed some fans that oscillate in a circular motion. Sitting here and drinking some water can effectively relieve fatigue.

After the group of seven sat down...

Jamie expertly filled several glasses with water from the tap and placed them in front of the group, saying modestly, "This place is simple; this is all we can offer you."

"thank you."

Mi Feiyin was quite interested in this place. He looked around, then took a sip of water and surprisingly tasted a cool and sweet flavor in it.

There is also a faint, unique, pleasant fragrance.

In short, it didn't feel like random river water at all; it even gave him the strange feeling that he was being entertained by nobles in the Royal Courtyard of the capital.

"Did you put sugar in here?" he asked, somewhat surprised.

This is candy! Ordinary people would only see it once a year, and even nobles would have to spend gold coins to buy it if they wanted to eat candy.

In the royal capital, candy made with magic can even be more expensive than its weight in gold.

He wouldn't be surprised if this were within Kroya's territory, but this was right by the roadside.

When I came in just now, I could see farmers coming out of here, so it probably wasn't a special treat for them.

In other words... Kroya is now able to provide farmers with sugary water at will?

Even the Grand Duke wouldn't dare to do that.

"Sugar?" Jamie was puzzled at first, then realized, "It's not sugar, it's a special plant. Lord Kroya used it to make water, which he supplied to the farmers to quench their thirst."

The water pipes inside this house are also powered by magic circles, and they are transported using a type of bamboo that Lord Kroya specially planted.

It's obviously not appropriate to tell the other party about this.

"Plant 100".

But to everyone's surprise, Mi Fei glanced down at the water bowl and sighed softly, "I suspect this plant has a high sugar content. For the sake of your lord, don't bring this up again."

Jamie wasn't stupid, of course. He immediately figured out the reason and felt a little embarrassed.

In fact, there are now stable sugar-making workshops in the territory. The sugar is made from a type of seaweed from the sea, and the resulting sugar is clear and blue in color and has a sweet taste.

Sugar and sweets that were once hard to find are now readily available on Hanjiao Island. Some parents even buy a few pieces after get off work to take back for their children.

This is something that even people in the capital would find difficult to do, but it's a common occurrence on Hanjiao Island.

So for a moment he didn't care how shocking this matter really was.

then,

He brought up the reason why he had stopped Miffy earlier, changing the subject: "According to Lord Kroya's arrangement, we will record the growth rate and cycle of these crops to see what kind of environment is most suitable for their survival."

"Is it really just a matter of growth cycle and environment?" Milfein smiled and said, "I sensed some magical plants in the field, which should be the magical plants that the Church of the Mother Goddess uses to fertilize the fields."

"You noticed it after all."

"The adults are also researching how to use magical plants to fertilize the fields, and how to combine them to achieve the best results..."

Jamie, who had received instructions from Kroya long ago, directly told Miffy and the other children of the harvest about the experiment Kroya was conducting.

These people were immediately stunned.

Did they never think that such a thing could actually be experimented with?

They immediately started talking:

"The nodules that grow from bud beans can fertilize the soil, but it is said that they need to grow for a sufficient period of time."

"I remember that tufted beans need to be planted with another magical plant called alfalfa to maximize their fertilizing effect."

"Soil moisture, temperature, and magic concentration would also have an impact, right? How did you measure them? Can you guarantee that the soil is in absolutely the same condition?"

"Yes, and different crop seeds will grow at different rates, right?"

Judging from their questions, these young men, who look to be in their early twenties and have a good understanding of how to cultivate the land, have their own insights.

He is definitely not the kind of person who blesses the land with his own magic.

Jamie listened to their questions, his smile growing wider and wider. Finally, he simply extended his hand in invitation, saying, "We have a breeding room here. Lord Kroya instructed me that if you would like to see it, I can take you there."

"Let's go now."

Miffy was already getting impatient.

Although he is the inheritor of the spirit of harvest and is blessed by the earth, he only needs to lift a finger to make crops and magical plants grow quickly.

But he was always looking for more ways to make crops grow stronger.

He originally intended to ignore Knight Commander Beforeselle's letter and continue his travels in a neighboring country after finishing his visit to his mother.

It was during a routine prayer to the Mother Goddess that he felt there might be something here that could help him, which is why he rushed over.

Surprisingly, he actually found something that might please the Mother Goddess.

He was very much looking forward to what he was about to see.

……

A few minutes later, they entered a building through the magic circle.

They sensed something was wrong as soon as they entered.

The natural atmosphere here is almost too strong, with even gentle moisture and mild water magic swirling around, as if protecting this place.

Miffy looked around and immediately knew where he was. This must be the bottom of the Terai River, protected by the natural consciousness of the Terai River.

This wasn't particularly rare; he sensed the earth's consciousness was exceptionally active here on his way here.

But what's strange is where the sunlight here comes from? Isn't it from the riverbed?

He squinted and looked up, but all he saw were flawless white walls and ceilings, like jade, from which the warm sunlight shone.

He grew increasingly expectant, but remained silent, simply following Jamie forward while carefully observing his surroundings.

Jamie quickly led them into a room.

When he pushed open the door, he was greeted by the comforting scent of the crop seedlings that made all the children of the harvest feel at ease.

"Wow!"

"This is……"

"It should be one of those vines, right?"

The children of the harvest couldn't help but whisper among themselves, their eyes filled with curiosity as they looked at the room in front of them, which was as big as a basketball court.

The room was filled with white, transparent vines that intertwined on the floor and walls, creating individual compartments.

Each cell is a standard 5 square meters.

The compartment contained a pale green liquid, from which corn seeds, seedlings, and potato tubers were soaked in different categories.

Several apprentices were taking the seeds, seedlings, and tubers out, seemingly intending to plant them.

This place seems to be some kind of magical plant laboratory.

"This is the seed cultivation room that Lord Kroya built specifically for this purpose. All the seeds here are screened, and those with relatively consistent vigor and life force are grouped together for observation and planting experiments."

Jamie gave a detailed explanation.

However, these children of the harvest paid no attention to any planting experiments; their focus was entirely on the seeds!

Miffy arrived at the place where corn was being grown and saw seeds soaking in a pale green liquid and seedlings placed on gauze.

He reached out and gently touched the corn kernel, immediately feeling the vibrant life bursting forth from within.

The life inside is eager to sprout new buds, come into this world, and grow strong.

"Ah, how beautiful!" He then examined more corn and potato tubers, and without exception, he could feel the abundant vitality within them.

The other children of the harvest stared blankly at the seeds, enjoying them with an almost intoxicated look, and barely managed to refrain from offering them their blessings.

In their view, these seeds already possess the courage and ability to thrive in the world on their own, and do not need their blessings at all.

For a moment, they even had a strange feeling of being both anxious and uncertain.

It was only at this moment that they finally focused their attention on the white vines and the pale green liquid. They could, of course, tell that the liquid was being released by the vines.

These vibrant liquids... were far better than the "nectar of harvest" below level three that they had seen in the church temple.

If it can release this liquid, is this magical plant some kind of special species?

Why can't even Milfield tell what kind of magical plant this vine is? It doesn't make sense.

Then, Mi Fei asked, "Mage Jamie, what kind of magical plant is this? Would you please tell us?"

Jamie was considering how to answer when a calm voice came from beside him: "Let me explain, Jamie. Go prepare lunch."

Upon hearing this voice, Jamie's face lit up with almost fanatical joy, and he bowed respectfully, saying, "Yes, Instructor Kroya!"

After saying that, he quickly left.

The children of the harvest were left looking in the direction from which the sound came, and saw a young mage wearing a light gold robe.

There was no magical fluctuation emanating from him; if one were to use mental power to sense him, one would not even be able to detect his presence.

Only by seeing with our own eyes can we truly see his figure and witness his existence.

Logically speaking, as believers of the Church of the Earth Mother Goddess, the Children of Harvest should have a very reluctant and perfunctory attitude towards magicians.

The truth is, most mages really don't care whether the earth can withstand their actions; they'll create huge craters, canyons, or small hills at the drop of a hat...

However, upon meeting the monk, they felt no strange aversion whatsoever; instead, they felt the surrounding sunlight was even warmer.

Even the seeds that shouldn't have any spirituality were welcoming Kroya's arrival, seemingly wanting to bow and worship in her direction.

"you……"

Miffy stared intently at Kroya.

There seemed to be a strange sphere spinning inside his golden pupils, emitting an earthy yellow halo.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

An extremely terrifying and powerful force is about to descend from a distant place. This force seems very urgent, even impatient.

But just as that power was about to take shape—

"God said, 'Let everything that must be in heaven not come to earth.'"

"God says, nothing that is asleep can come upon the believer!"

"God said, those who dream sweet dreams will have nightmares!"

Suddenly, the voice of an angel rang out.

A ring of platinum light formed, blocking the impending divine power from a place invisible to everyone, and even adding a little something to the already uncomfortable sleep of the person being treated.

The next instant, the swirling yellowish-brown crystals in Miffy's eyes dimmed and disappeared as if drained of their power.

He only felt a momentary daze.

After shaking his head, he didn't pay much attention to it, and with a smile, he greeted Kroya in his usual amiable manner.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mage Chloe."

"I am also very pleased to meet you, heir of the spirit of harvest, prince of Norland, the youngest bishop of the Earth Church...Bishop Milfein."

Kroya, of course, returned the smile.

It was as if nothing had happened.

However, his eyes held a well-hidden surprise and unease; this... was clearly the power of an angel just now.

Has something else descended upon us again?

……

Only the angel, who was intently watching television in the Kroya Laboratory on the island of Hanjiao, slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

The platinum-gold radiance surrounding him dissipated.

He instantly collapsed weakly onto the soft feather blanket that Kroa had specially made for him, and stretched out his limbs and wings unhappily.

Through the skylight formed by the Orpheus oak wall, He saw the endless white clouds and blue sky outside and murmured to himself:

"A bountiful harvest..."

"When the ring was not broken, the goddess of harvest was still there; she was clearly the child of the Earth Mother Goddess."

"Did the Mother Goddess devour Him, or did He turn on the Mother Goddess?"

The angel rolled over in annoyance, burying himself in the soft feathers again, and grabbed the dozing ethereal wolf to use as a pillow.

The latter, of course, dared not get angry or resist, and could only pitifully expose her belly to serve as a pillow for the angelic bully.

Only a creature formed from such magic could serve as His pillow.

"strangeness……"

He still couldn't understand why the other party had such a desperate, almost life-or-death yearning for the sun.

Even though Kroya had been very careful to use the power of the iris to protect her magic from leaking out, she could still be sensed.

Did that Mother Goddess establish such a rule within the self-regulating operation?

To protect Kroa from being discovered, He used the power of the Rings to create a nightmare that was almost real.

What does a ring have to do with the sun?

Anyway, Huan won't care.

Why did He insist on getting close to the sun?

Thinking of this, He suddenly blinked, mimicking Kroa's habit, and eagerly returned to the spot where the mushrooms grew at the bottom of the lake.

"God said that all the nightmares I create will appear in the platinum light."

Accompanied by His voice.

A platinum ring appeared before Him, and within it emerged a scene—the nightmare that the Earth Mother was about to experience.

He wanted to see what kind of nightmare the Mother Goddess was having, and perhaps he could find some reason for it.
