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

Chapter 219. The Evolution of the Celestial Spirit Imprint Technique, The Giant Ship Sets Sail

Are you really going to set sail?

Looking at the excited Orpheus Oak, Kroya felt uneasy: "Trendon told me it was a cardinal from the Holy See who summoned you, not an elf!"

His sixth sense has always been very sharp; this matter is unlikely to end well.

When the powerful cardinal entered the sea, the little mermaid prince came to tell him, and ever since then he has felt very uneasy.

So he couldn't help but advise, "You can force them to send someone from the Orpheus family to pick you up, my friend Oak..."

However, the Orpheus Oak didn't listen to what Kroya was saying at all; it was so happy that its whole body was covered in little flowers.

Its expression was unusually joyful: "Human friends, this rudder is my key. Only my master could have created such a wonderful creation."

He must have sent someone to pick me up!

I'm about to see my master, my human friend, please stop talking!

As he spoke, he pushed all the ancient scrolls towards Kroya: "These are the things I promised to give you, take them!"

I give all of these to you.

"Ugh."

The latter looked helplessly at the large pile of elven scrolls in his arms. Although he knew that this was definitely important knowledge, he felt no joy at all.

On the contrary, the unease in my heart became more and more obvious, and I always felt that something was about to happen.

After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly grabbed the oak tree and said seriously, "My friend, oak tree, if you insist on going... then accept one of my spells."

This is actually a very abrupt request, because it might not only expose one's special magic, but also cause the other party to mistakenly believe that one is up to no good.

After all, who would want someone else's alien magic inside their body?

However, he still said that if something really happens, he can still influence things remotely.

He really didn't want to see the oak tree pass away like this; it had helped him so much, and he had already considered it a friend.

Therefore, he is willing to take some risks of exposure.

The oak tree paused its movements, looked at Kroya, and nodded without hesitation: "Of course, human friend."

"What kind of magic do you want me to accept?"

Its exhilarating nature made Chloe sigh once again, wondering why it seemed like her magical power was increasing but her intelligence wasn't...

Kroya thought to himself, but his expression was serious: "I want you to sign a friendship contract with me. I will leave an anchor point in your soul, so that you can borrow my power when necessary."

I can also pull your soul back in times of danger.

Upon hearing Kroa's method, Orpheus Oak's first reaction was disbelief.

Magic weakens with distance, so to be able to borrow magic, one must be at least at the level of an archmage or even a magic master.

But Kroya is only level four now, and he claims he can pull its soul back? That's more exaggerated than a mortal lifting a mountain.

In the world of magic, a difference of one level, if not compensated for by a special method, is a world of difference.

However, it still agreed. It opened its arms and gave Kroya a hug, with the branches and vines expressing their friendship and reluctance to part.

"Alright, human friend... I will mention you to my master after I see him, and I hope we can meet again."

When it agreed, Kroa already sensed that the Celestial Imprint Technique was working, seemingly effective against beings with human-like intelligence...

Once you agree, that's "desire".

So he immediately began the engraving process.

This time, he used all his golden eternal magic power for the inscription—because as soon as he probed into the body of the Orpheus Oak Star Spirit, he felt a magical fluctuation as deep and vast as the ocean.

If eternal magic is not used for imprinting, the imprint can exist, but the magic mark representing the physical entity will certainly not exist.

The engraving process is extremely arduous.

For some reason, the Orpheus Oak not only possesses an extremely exaggerated level of magical power, but its soul power is also incredibly strong.

During the engraving process, he even felt as if he were facing a boundless sea, and his consciousness was being engraved in the ocean.

He wants to use his consciousness as a sculptor and a pen to paint on the ocean.

During this time, he worked hard to maintain stability, allowing the golden radiance to fully merge into the soul sea of ​​the Orpheus Oak.

Although it was arduous, he felt his understanding of the Astral Imprint Technique was deepening, and he experienced a sense of natural and effortless mastery.

He gradually became immersed in the joy of painting.

His golden magic was like golden sunlight scattered across the ocean, beginning to leave its mark on the vast sea.

Orpheus Oak was initially somewhat dismissive, but after sensing the changes within its own soul, it was immediately shocked.

This... after it absorbed the power of nature's consciousness, it had already reached a power close to the legendary level, yet it could still be affected by these powers.

It even felt that it had no ability to resist.

And those powers...

How beautiful is the sunlight.

It gazed intently at Kroya, who was focused on carving the inscription, temporarily setting aside the matter of the ship's rudder, patiently sensing the power within its own body, and waiting for Kroya to finish.

Time passed second by second.

The sun gradually sank in the west, and moonlight shone down.

As the ocean was bathed in the soft moonlight, the cardinal's patience, which had been waiting patiently, finally ran out.

The mermaid's magic enveloped this sea area, making it impossible to see the situation below with the naked eye, and even his mental power was like hitting an iron wall, unable to penetrate it at all.

"Is Shenzhou not down there, or has something happened?"

He glanced at the mermaid prince before him and said, "I need to go down and see why the Shenzhou hasn't appeared yet."

As he spoke, his body was about to transform into light and enter the sea.

But before he could even go inside, a huge hand grabbed his body—it was the Indigo Sea Giant Spirit, squeezing him in its hand like a chick.

"You!" He was furious and about to break free when a strong figure appeared behind the mermaid prince.

The figure had long, flowing, azure-blue hair like seaweed, and an extremely muscular physique, resembling a perfectly sculpted sculpture.

Tredden called out playfully, "Uncle Randy!"

"Don't be afraid." The muscular mermaid gently patted Treden, then stared coldly at the human cardinal, warning, "The Atlantis Sea has been our mermaid territory since creation."

Humans, what you need to do is wait patiently and not try to challenge us.

"..."

The cardinal's expression remained unchanged, but he was actually grinding his teeth, cursing these filthy foreigners in his heart.

He desperately wanted to summon divine punishment on the spot, but he also knew that if he summoned divine punishment in the Atlantis Sea, he would probably be punished before the divine punishment even arrived.

So he wisely remained silent, which was essentially his way of acquiescing to waiting.

During the waiting period, Prince Randy the Mermaid remained here, his spiritual power extending unhindered into the depths of the sea.

The surface of that ship...

The sun's golden rays were swirling around.

Gradually, it formed intricate and magnificent patterns, shining brightly in the ocean. If he hadn't suppressed the fluctuations of the ocean's magic, the power would probably have overflowed.

Randy couldn't help but wonder: What is this human's identity that he possesses such exquisite magic?

No wonder his elder brother insisted on protecting this human himself.

……

Time passed slowly.

Three more days of sunrise and sunset.

The engraving process lasted for three whole days.

It was midnight on the third day.

Finally, Kroya let out a long breath and withdrew his magic. At this moment, he felt no dizziness or headache at all; on the contrary, he felt unusually clear-headed.

The Celestial Spirit Imprint Technique, which had always existed in his mind, had quietly changed, becoming more complex and peculiar.

[Imprint complete, Orpheus Oak Tree Atlantis Sea Natural Consciousness (Eternal Kroa's Friend Contract)]

[During this effective period of the seal, the Orpheus Oak, with Kroa's permission, can borrow the latter's power and ignore spatial barriers.]

[During the effective period of this seal, Kroya can cast spells at certain times to pull the soul of the Orpheus Oak back through a magical channel.]

[During the effective period of this printout, one party can view the footage seen by the other party with permission, as if experiencing it firsthand.]

[This moment will last forever, just like our friendship—Crowne.]

Kroya could sense that what was being completed was not only the contract within the inscription, but also that the magic power he had absorbed during this period was enough for him to reach level five and, most importantly, to evolve the Astral Spirit Inscription technique.

The current Celestial Imprint Technique no longer requires Kroa to touch an object; the imprint can be performed within his mental range.

The requirements for engraving techniques were further reduced.

Any intelligent life form other than humans can be imprinted simply by making a request or by agreeing to it.

Furthermore, he can view all the magical imprints he currently has, regardless of distance, and can directly observe and study them.

Most importantly, the conditions for advancing the Astral Imprint Technique have finally been revealed: it requires imprinting on more powerful beings.

Although he didn't yet know how many beings he needed to imprint before advancing to the next level, at least he had clearly stated the requirements.

Before he could even process his feelings, the oak tree that had been embracing him said, "I must go now, human friend... I will keep this secret."

May we meet again in the embrace of nature.

Accompanied by the sound of the oak tree, Kroya was gently repelled from the cabin by a force and left the divine vessel.

"I'm setting sail!"

The last mental fluctuations emanated from inside the giant ship, filled with joyful happiness, like a child receiving candy.

Kroya sighed deeply and gazed at the Shenzhou.

The surrounding seawater was repelled by an immense force, forming a crack in a short period of time.

Deep within the rift, the ancient celestial vessel, submerged for centuries, finally set sail. It raised its sails, and the howling wind instantly billowed them.

It seems to take only the blink of an eye.

It had already passed through the barriers of space and arrived at the surface of the sea from the seabed. The surface of the Shenzhou was covered with patterns of vines and flowers, which shone brightly under the moonlight, just like a brand new Shenzhou that had just been built.

The cardinal, who had been waiting for a long time, was immediately roused from the shackles of the Indigo Sea Giant and flew onto the Elven Ship.

He grabbed another ship's rudder and commanded, "Activate the Isis Array, target: Yavana Sacred Mine, begin teleportation now!"

A massive and ingenious magic circle immediately appeared at the bottom of the Shenzhou, instantly calculating the spatial data, and an emerald green light covered the hull.

"boom!"

Amidst the dazzling waterfall of light, the ships blurred, and a tunnel of space took shape.

It disappeared into the sea the instant it took shape.

It was as if it had never existed; only the gentle moonlight and soft sea breeze of the Atlantis Sea lingered as always.

Kroya stood on the sea and sighed deeply.

The mermaid prince Treden obediently landed beside him and stayed with him, also without saying a word.

……

the other side.

Yavana Holy Mine.

Since the power of the Tears of Zemuria has failed, endless wheat fields have replaced the original defensive line made of grass, trees and rocks, striving to maintain the stability of the front-line base.

But at this moment, the wheat field was already littered with countless corpses, including not only human bodies but also the corpses of monsters. Blood and corpses mixed together, making the wheat field grow even stronger.

Miffy, who was sitting in the base with ears of wheat growing on his body and a tired face, raised his head and muttered to himself, "They've arrived."

—Suddenly, emerald-colored magical energy fluctuations appeared in the empty void, accompanied by crackling lightning that created spatial fluctuations, and a colossal ship slowly sailed out from it.

As soon as it appeared, the exquisite patterns on the surface of the ship began to change. The runes drove the structural changes of the ship, and the amazing extensibility of the Orpheus oak tree came into play, forming one huge cannon muzzle after another.

The next second—

"Boom!"

Emerald-colored magic projectiles burst forth from within.

Like a torrential downpour of emerald green, it began to purify this devastated land covered in mycelium.

Born from six hundred years of accumulation at the bottom of the sea, and enhanced by the magic of natural consciousness rejected by the power of the illusory god, its magical cannon fire possesses an indescribable and exaggerated power.

The mycelium that spreads rampantly across the land is instantly purified upon contact with the raindrops, turning into clear water.

In just a few seconds, the mycelium forest turned into a vast swamp, and it was still expanding—the giant ship made of Orpheus oak trees was heading towards the Yavana Sacred Mine.

Even the sturdy stone walls couldn't withstand its bombardment for even a second, and it blasted a large hole through them, allowing direct entry.

Of course, the creatures within the Yavana Holy Mine did put up a fight—swarms of mosquitoes and dragons like dark clouds, along with mycelium and cultists, were all trying to stop the Shenzhou from advancing.

But none of it worked.

It continued to roll forward at a steady pace, and all sorts of exquisite magical patterns were forming on the surface, deck, and sails of the Shenzhou spacecraft.

A raging blue hurricane, deep purple lightning, a storm of vine leaves, fireballs spewed from giant flowers, and highly corrosive venom...

All the powers of elven magic were unleashed by the magic runes engraved on the surface of the divine ship, powered by the Orpheus Oak, making it like a floating fortress.

After it shattered countless monsters, the monsters in the Yavana Holy Mine no longer targeted the flying elven ship, but instead chose to bypass its magical bombardment and surge towards the front-line bases of various countries and the Holy See in the distance.

Even before the Shenzhou spacecraft arrived, they were already attacking these bases, leaving behind mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.

Shenzhou was certainly aware of this, but it continued to move forward mechanically, ignoring the monsters as well.

Logically, with the Orpheus Oak as its control core, it shouldn't be rigid and only focused on moving forward.

In the Orpheus family's heritage, every elven divine ship is more powerful than a mage's floating city; it is an absolute war fortress, an extremely powerful weapon of war for both defense and offense.

But the current situation is this: the cardinal is commanding it with the rudder, ordering it to ignore everything else and go straight into the sacred mine of Yavana.

Unable to resist, despite its growing doubts, it could only follow the cardinal's orders and bombard the depths of the Yavana Holy Mine.

After it entered, the spores and hyphae began to intertwine, forming a web at the large hole it had created, blocking Shenzhou's retreat.

It's unclear whether the arrival of the Shenzhou spacecraft angered them, but more monsters surged outwards like a tidal wave, seemingly intent on submerging all the surrounding bases.

It's like saying: If we can't wipe out Shenzhou, we can at least destroy you?

Having witnessed the entire scene, the elf Icarus, hidden in the void, respectfully reported, holding a leaf-shaped magical artifact: "Yes, it has entered the Yavana Sacred Mine."

A female voice came from inside the leaf: "This is to test whether the Earth Mother Goddess still has control over nature. She has merged with the divine authority of nature and must abandon something."

"Continue to observe here. If you find any signs that the Earth's consciousness is recovering, then use the magical artifact that the family gave you."

There's no need to worry about Shenzhou; we can detonate it if necessary.

The woman's voice was extremely cold, without the slightest emotional fluctuation: "Remember, you must make sure to completely tear this land apart!"

In order to obtain the blood of the Mother Goddess...

It was all worth it!

As he finished speaking, the shimmering light from the leaves gradually faded.

The respectful expression on Icarus's face vanished instantly. After putting the leaf into the box, he took out another leaf.

This time his voice was much more casual.

"Mr. Beorelle, she's been tricked..."
