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

Chapter 215. Magic, Transformation! (Part 215)

"sunflower."

Kroya stared at the illustrations in the book, recalling her recent collection of various sunflowers, and for a moment she felt a little dazed.

He recalled his recent actions.

Ever since he heard from the angels that sunflowers were descendants of the powerful magical plant "Eye of Ternas" on the Ark, he had been trying to replicate them.

He longed to recreate the glory and splendor of the powerful magical plants on the Ark, and to see what exactly made something "powerful" in the eyes of the angels look like.

However, the process was not smooth... or rather, the road was blocked.

Because the sunflower he used as the base has completely integrated his light, there is basically no possibility of reversion to its ancestral form, and it has embarked on an unknown path.

So after trying without success, he simply gave up on the idea.

Since the old path is no longer viable, let's forge a completely new one.

This entirely new path, in Kroya's conception and ideas, is a pure path. That is, it will not add the abilities of other sunflowers, but focus on receiving sunlight and transforming it into the magic of morning dew.

He never expected that he would find magic related to sunflowers and the sun in the book given to him by Mifein.

Of course, he hadn't expected that the effect of this divine spell would be...

"Sun essential oil?"

Kroya blinked, speechless, and wanted to complain.

Simply put, this magic allows sunflowers to be blessed and have their sunlight refined into "sun oil," which is then supplied to members of the papacy, including bishops.

In the description of this magic, the essential oil is even called "flowing sunlight" and "a wonderful oil that brings people closer to the gods."

To put it simply, the effect of this magic is to integrate sunlight into the sunflower's body and then extract it through sunflower seed oil.

The oil, infused with the sun's heat, is golden and clear, quite remarkable in both appearance and pure magic.

Furthermore, the connection between the sun and the sunflower adds a layer of sacred faith to it.

It can only be said that the divine arts created by the Vatican, although they are very close to basic life, are inexplicably detached from basic life and given a high-sounding name.

Of course, for Kroya, it was just a type of magic that she could use.

The magic he initially imprinted on the sunflower was "Sunbeam Ray," which allowed the sunflower to absorb and store the sun's light.

However, in essence, it is a form of offensive magic with extremely powerful destructive force.

What he's thinking about now is how to make the red sunflowers accept only pure light, unbiased light.

As for the Sunfire Ray and the advanced version of the Crimson Ray, those can be used on other sunflowers.

This magic seems perfect, and judging from the description, it appears to have some connection to both the earth and the Church of Light.

Although Kroya didn't have a good impression of the Church of Light, he had indeed done a lot of research in this area.

It would be foolish to simply reject them without learning from their merits.

Now that we have it, we can completely transform the sunflower once again.

With that in mind, he made a decision.

After studying for a while, he got up and returned to his mage tower, then entered the smaller plane and arrived at a place sealed by a magic circle.

This is the place he used to house the clouds produced by the white cloud sunflowers that had absorbed the sunlight.

As he entered the magic circle, his eyes were filled with white and golden light—pure white clouds filled the interior of the magic circle, and the golden light of the sun was not as intense as usual, but became soft and layered, flowing like silk threads to embellish the clouds with gold.

The scene before us is truly magnificent.

"Eeya~"

The sunflower fairy, who was engrossed in the clouds and consuming golden magic, sensed Kroya's arrival and immediately flew over.

It sat skillfully on Kroya's shoulder, offering her a small petal with its eyes full of anticipation.

It means to let Kroa have a taste.

Kroya glanced at the petals it offered; they were sunflower petals, but coated with a layer of golden yellow, like the magic of syrup.

It looks a lot like a marshmallow drizzled with honey.

How should I put it? It looks like the kind of thing that's so sweet it's sickening.

However, since this is composed of magic, it shouldn't be...

With that thought in mind, Kroya put it directly into her mouth and chewed it, and then she felt an extremely peculiar sweetness.

It's hard to describe the taste; it has the aroma of sunflowers and a warmth like sunshine, and the combination creates a unique sweetness.

It gives you the feeling of carefree sunbathing and daydreaming, a pleasant sweetness where you don't have to do anything.

It's less about taste and more about how it affected his perception.

"You can actually use mental magic now?"

Kroya touched the little sunflower with her finger and asked curiously, "Your mental strength is quite extraordinary, condensing your mental energy into a physical entity."

"Eeya~" The sunflower proudly raised its head.

"Heh, you've gotten all proud of yourself."

After thinking for a moment, Chloe suddenly had another idea.

This magic is divided into two parts: "absorbing sunlight" and "extracting oil".

I've only planned to utilize the part that absorbs sunlight so far, so I should make good use of the part that extracts oil as well.

If it's possible to extract sunflower oil from sunflowers, then... would it work to make sunflower oil using mental energy?

His original red sunflower is now an elemental magic plant. If we have to extract any oil from it, it can only be magic power or spiritual power.

If Little Sunflower could control herself and transform her spiritual energy into the sunflower's "oil," what kind of special thing would that be?

"Xiao Kui, I want it like this..."

He glanced at the little sunflower and told it his thoughts.

The latter never rejected Kroya's idea. It immediately nodded happily, wanting to take Kroya to the place where its original body grew.

……

The terrace garden had been transformed into a crystal palace, where sunlight would stream in through crystal crystals made by Kroya that could gather sunlight.

Of course, they will automatically block out the moonlight at night.

Even though it's late at night, the terrace garden is still as bright as day—all thanks to the solar magic provided by the surrounding magical energy pipes.

Light radiated out like golden threads, all of it first passing through the flower heads of ordinary sunflowers, and then converging towards the tricolor sunflower at the very center.

It looks like they're purifying it.

From the perspective of the Astral Spirit Imprint Technique, the spirituality and mental power within this tricolor sunflower are indeed extremely strong.

It could even be said that it is like a small sun radiating light and heat, with a dazzling spiritual light.

With just one glance, Kroya could sense that these sunflowers, which had grown alongside the red sunflowers for so long, had also developed a kind of sentience.

Their current actions... are like a sacrifice, keeping the less pure light within themselves and offering the pure light as a sacrifice to the red sunflower.

He glanced at it a few more times and sensed a fluctuation in his faith.

"The power of these beliefs..." A thought flashed through his mind, and he paused to think.

Having talked to the angels so much, he naturally learned some information related to faith.

Although the angel did not reveal any information related to the core of faith, he could still make a rough guess about the source of some of the power of faith.

The angel said that faith is the third power, besides spiritual power and life force. And faith is a variant of this power, which the angel calls soul power.

Every person or living being continuously refines their "soul power" while living; the more powerful the life form, the stronger the soul power it can provide.

That is the most important energy for maintaining life.

While deities can transform this ethereal power into their own, they can also trace the origin of the soul power to its source and supply it with their divine power.

Therefore, the more powerful an entity is, the more pure and abundant the power of faith it can provide. Of course, if enough ordinary believers gather together, winning through sheer numbers is also a viable strategy.

After he learned about these things, the angel solemnly warned him never to get involved with soul power, otherwise it would cause him great trouble.

However, he was indeed very curious about this unknown power and wondered if he could use it.

Now it seems worth a try.

Ultimately, faith is about providing spiritual power, obtaining the strength one needs from the divine. Therefore, the power of the sunflower is...

Sun Oil!

His thoughts became clear instantly.

Supply faith, give sun essential oil.

If his thinking is correct, not only can Little Sunflower make further improvements, but his own sunflower field can also be transformed.

He patted the little sunflower on his shoulder and asked softly, "Would you be willing to help your companions gain spirituality, would you be willing to become their...god?"

Without saying a word, Little Sunflower nodded.

It had long hoped to have more companions. For a being with a spirit, even with fellow elves by its side, it would still feel lonely.

This was something Kroya already knew, and it was a special effect produced by the imprint of "The Rainbow Poem" on it. This magical blessing would change according to the needs.

"Alright, let's give it a try."

"If this is truly how faith is used..."

Kroya began imprinting the celestial body of the red sunflower, while deliberately placing this method of extracting oil at the location of the little sunflower's spirit.

After a brief imprinting process, a notification appeared—

[Imprint successful, Crimson Sunflower - Spirituality (Bathing in Sunlight, Golden Oil Method)]

[Due to the existence of Orange Song - Orange Hymn, this imprint will change.]

The prompt temporarily disappeared, and the sunflower in front of them had changed.

Its light grew ever brighter.

Centered on it, an orange halo spreads out like ripples.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that these halos are actually solid, shimmering with an oily sheen.

The halo contained the spirituality of the little sunflower, which was generously squeezing its spirituality into "oil" and giving it to the surrounding sunflowers.

The spiritual oil from the red sunflowers, as if it were real, was evenly applied to the sunflowers that were yearning to sway.

The sunflowers instantly became sparkly.

It was like a lamp that had been filled with oil, and suddenly it lit up.

At the same time, the power of faith they emitted suddenly became several times stronger than before.

"Is this a response? Hmm, the sunflower's mark seems to have changed a bit."

[The Orange Hymn and the Sunbathing, the Golden Oil Method, are combined and transformed into: Orange Blessing Oil from Red Sunflowers]

The spirituality and special magic of this magical plant will transform into a special oil. When other magical plants or creatures of the same kind obtain this oil, they will experience the following effects:

-

Enhance spirituality: The amount of spirituality emanating from the red sunflower will be proportionally converted into your own spirituality.

-

Spiritual connection: Those with similar spiritualities will resonate with each other and can communicate.

The prerequisite for obtaining the grease is providing faith.

[The crimson ray imprint disappears, and at this moment, the imprint will transform into the special ability of the crimson sunflower, which can be transferred to fellow members of the same race who have received the orange blessed oil.]

The red ray imprint changes to: Bathing in sunlight.

The red sunflower can absorb pure sunlight and store it in its body, and can also cast fire magic using solar magic.

Specific spells require inscription to take effect.

Kroa was leisurely admiring the changes in the markings inside the Sunflower Protoss's body, while also wondering what the surrounding sunflowers would become.

But suddenly a doorway opened up beside it.

An angel emerged from within, her little face showing surprise as she gazed at the changing sunflower.

"My friend, do you intend to exploit the sunflower's faith?"

He immediately saw through Chloe's plan.

"Yes." Kroya didn't want to hide anything from Him and told Him her plans.

As the angel listened, his expression grew increasingly strange.

Finally, He sighed softly: "Lucky friend, the effects of the oil are far more complex than you think. This oil of the sun... is not merely a symbol of pleasure and special status for the believers of the defiled light."

It is also a necessity for a ritual.

Upon hearing the word "ritual," Kroya immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly asked, "Won't there be any danger?"

He genuinely didn't know this; he thought the so-called Sun Oil was merely a symbol of the status and position of those in the Vatican.

"No, not at all." The angel shook his head, flew skillfully to Chloe, and kissed him on the forehead.

His voice became very ethereal and divine.

"Lucky friend."

"The sacred ointment is a special creation. I will now teach you a magic spell. Please use it freely, as this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Please accept this small gift.

In the end, whether it was Chloe's imagination or not, he felt that the angel's voice seemed to contain a hint of mischievous excitement.

Accompanying the angelic voice was a platinum ring that encircled the entire terrace garden, effectively erasing the garden from its very existence.

At this moment, even the ethereal gods of the merfolk, the supreme deities, and the demon lords of the abyss could not perceive what was happening in the garden.

Kroya was oblivious to all this; he was trying his best to digest the magic the angel had given him, because it was far too profound.

With his current magical skill, he could at most tell that this was somewhat similar to the magic used to summon the Fireflies of Light, both of which involved opening a spatial rift and then summoning something.

But that's all there is to it.

If it weren't for the angel forcibly teaching him this method, it would probably have taken him an incredibly long time to learn it on his own.

"What exactly do you want me to do?"

Kroya, who had finally figured out the composition of magic, was quite helpless.

"The Garden of the Gospel," the angel replied. "That is a defiled garden of light, containing a very special demonic plant that He cultivated."

"The Bethlehem Star Medal that the Knights of Salt Mountain promised you comes from this."

"We can steal a Bethlehem star."

"Its light and power can help you."

"Lucky friend, do you dare?"

As time seemed to be of the essence, the angel succinctly described his plan, which was to steal a divine flower of light!

Before He could finish speaking, Kroya replied, "What's there to be afraid of? You've already summoned the power of the ring."

As he spoke, he began to take out the materials needed for casting the spell.

It is still clean, but the soil is soaked with the bright oil, that is, the oil of sunflowers.

He took the soil, sat down on the ground, and began to knead it, eventually shaping it into a small altar.

At the very center of the altar was a portal he had painstakingly carved, which featured not only the sun and radiating lines of light, but also images of eight archangels.

The rest of the altar is covered with intricate patterns, making it look like an ancient epic scroll.

Among them were angels slaying demons, a figure shrouded in light spreading gospel and glory, and people praying and kneeling in worship...

Although it was made of clay, the altar was truly sacred and solemn.

He spent a lot of time and effort to sculpt this portal, without using magic or earth and stone shaping techniques.

"A tainted light!"

The moment the portal was completed, the angel gently touched it. The entire altar began to shimmer, and then the portal slowly opened, from which flowed holy light that had materialized.

Just like the clouds created with dry ice, it instantly filled the entire terrace garden, and if it weren't for the ring around it, it would definitely have flowed out.

"Quickly, reach in and grab whatever you can, then come back immediately!" the angel urged.

"Okay." Kroya immediately reached in, felt something warm, and then grabbed it out.

The moment it emerged, the ring that had been stationary outside immediately flew over and rushed into the portal.

Immediately afterwards—

"Boom!"

The altar that Kroya had painstakingly carved shattered into countless pieces in an instant, and was then erased by a force as if it had never existed.

From the moment the altar was completed to the moment Kroya seized the item and the portal collapsed, only a few seconds passed.

Only the lingering holy light around him and the flower in his hand could prove what had happened.

He had no idea what was happening in the distant Gospel Garden because of the platinum ring that had rushed in, nor how much trouble the archangels tending the garden must be in.

At this moment, Kroya simply took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and looked at what she was holding in her hand.

"The Star of Bethlehem," he said softly.

This is an extremely sacred flower.

Its petals are shaped like a six-pointed star, surrounding a white stamen with a golden edge in the center, radiating a white glow.

It was pure and immaculate; just looking at it, Kroya felt as if she were seeing a bright sky and a beam of light illuminating the darkness.

This is not an illusion.

Since its appearance, the surroundings have truly become as bright as day—this is not solar magic supplied by the magic pipes, but the daytime has truly arrived.

even……

The temperature is warm with sunshine.

And it was the light of dawn.
