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

Chapter 229. Faith Towards the Sun, Rainbow Grass Dream

What is in the ocean is indeed the pure white sea coconut—to be more precise, it should be the pure white sea coconut and their summons.

As one of the first magical plants that Kroa encountered and imprinted, they were finally able to move freely after receiving the "tree-herding magic" of the Orpheus Oak.

For some reason, these guys started running around almost every day after they were able to move freely. They even got along quite well with the merfolk and accepted the invitation from the merfolk prince Treden to live in the sea.

It can truly be said that this coconut is a true "sea spirit".

Their current form is very strange—

At the base of the pure white sea coconut, elemental creatures resembling turtles carry them, their roots deeply embedded in their bodies.

It was a very special summon, a creature called "Blue Turtle Jellyfish" that they summoned together after Kroya upgraded their summoning spell again.

With the help of these elemental creatures, they can move freely in the seawater.

They are now trying to get something to add some special trinkets to Kroya's birthday party.

As the car sped along the road formed by the roots of the "Sea Red Demon Trees" that intertwined and grew on the sea, the coconut trees that had gathered together had successfully summoned something.

—Suddenly, a mist rose from the ocean. Through the mist, sunlight refracted through the water vapor, creating a mesmerizing halo of colors. In just a few seconds, the sea area with a radius of about ten kilometers was shrouded in this mist.

Seeing this, the apprentices, who had already jumped off the mine cart and gotten back into their small vans, quickly slowed down, somewhat hesitant to crash headlong into the fog, for who knows what they were doing.

At this moment, the mermaid prince, who was already prepared, excitedly said:

"They're here!"

Riding a sturdy seahorse and holding a small trident that would look like a toy to ordinary people, Treden charged in with a cheer.

Although he looked like he was playing some kind of war game, the moment he entered the fog, he was covered in armor, which simultaneously shimmered with the blue waves of the sea and the golden glow of the sun.

That was armor that Kroa had crafted for him, infused with his eternal magic and combined with the Merfolk's Blue Gold of the Vast Ocean. Attacks below level seven could be basically ignored.

"roar!!"

A colossal figure seemed to flash through the mist, its enormous claws slamming heavily onto the trident that Treden had just raised.

"clang!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out, followed by a series of rapid clanging sounds.

The little mermaid clashed with the owner of the claws several times, but the trident in her hand remained firmly in her grasp, without the slightest wavering.

His eyes gleamed, his hair was blown by the sea breeze, and his face was filled with a fanatical fighting spirit.

In this absurd world of bloodline theory, as a prince of the mermaid race, he was born able to wrestle with sharks and swim as fast as swordfish.

As a prince, he certainly couldn't just lie in the sea and daydream and play all day. Even after arriving in Kroya, his daily training never stopped.

Why are you running?!

Treden seemed to have gotten carried away with the fight, and he chased after the figure, using his brute strength to strike the figure in the mist with his trident several times.

Then, using his powerful water control abilities, he unleashed a series of spells, such as water swords, water balls, and water bombs.

In the ocean, his magic is almost limitless, and he uses it without any restraint.

The enormous figure in the mist couldn't help but let out a mournful cry, and some blood splattered from its mist-covered body.

It seemed to realize that it could not defeat Treden by force alone, so it began to churn and stir up the mist.

The light that penetrated into the mist was refracted into seven different colors, shooting directly at us like a rain curtain.

It guided all the light in the sky above the entire sea area, transforming it into a rain of seven-colored light, which was both extremely beautiful and extremely dangerous.

The apprentice and Mi Feiyin, who were standing in front of the mist, were surprised to see this scene. The latter, being well-versed in such matters, recognized it.

They all exclaimed in unison, "Mist Dragon?"

"...Can these coconut trees really summon such a dragon?"

There was a hint of surprise in his voice.

The reason is that these mist dragons are said to live in very special small elemental planes, where they release their magic and transform the entire plane into a world filled with mist.

They can move freely within the fog, possessing a powerful ability that is almost like spatial leaps. They can also use water vapor as a mirror to refract light and radiance as their weapons.

Miffy asked curiously, "Can this little mermaid prince defeat a level five magical beast? Judging from the surrounding mist, it should be a small dragon."

"It should be fine."

"If the merman prince didn't have this much ability, wouldn't he have been eaten by his younger siblings?"

"Too……"

Just as the man and the oak tree were discussing, Treden suddenly stepped back in the distance, and then... a bunch of coconut trees ran out.

They seemed to have been waiting for a long time. The moment they appeared, they frantically shook their branches and leaves, throwing coconuts one after another. The huge coconuts suddenly burst open in mid-air.

With a loud "boom".

A group of three-colored sunflower fairies flew out from within, excitedly heading towards the enormous creature hidden in the distance. During their flight, each sunflower fairy was surrounded by a white glow.

The terrifying temperature evaporated the fog, while the iridescent light condensed from the water vapor inside was absorbed into its body. Under their combined force, the fog grew smaller and smaller until it was completely surrounded by sunlight and finally dissipated.

Only a pitiful little dragon, about the size of a dog, was left, enveloped in radiance, looking utterly pathetic.

This little dragon is similar to common dragon species, but its half-tail and horns are formed from condensed mist, and its scales are also wrapped in mist, giving it an ethereal beauty.

After completing their mission, the sunflower fairies burrowed back into the coconuts of the coconut trees, leaving only Treden and the coconut trees to escort the small dragon back to the Isle of Reef.

This was a gift they gave to Chloe together.

The sea has returned to calm.

……

The apprentices, who had witnessed the entire beating of the Misty Dragon, couldn't help but murmur among themselves: "That's a level five dragon!"

"Is the merman prince that strong?"

"No, those coconut trees are the real powerhouses."

The well-informed Miffy, standing to the side, wore a strange expression. He glanced at the Orpheus Oak, who was also deep in thought, and tentatively asked, "Do you know?"

His perception was correct; those sunflower spirits actually possessed the power of faith, a faith that was extremely pure and as blazing as light.

They were even more pure than some of the believers he knew, and their faith seemed to be directed towards... the sun.

This was truly terrifying. He used to be a high-ranking member of the church and a successor of spiritual energy, so he knew that the "light" of the Holy See did not have the divine authority of the sun.

For a moment, he was even a little afraid to continue forward. After a year of peaceful farming in the North, he felt that he didn't want to face these troublesome things anymore.

"Don't overthink it."

Orpheus Oak said meaningfully, "You've been in the North for a year now. How many mages as powerful as Kroya have you met?"

This left Miffy speechless.

Back when Kroya was able to keep up with the harp music of the angel of harp and even control the divine power of the Earth Mother Goddess, he already felt that Kroya was no ordinary mage.

I never expected to see a faith facing the sun.

He suddenly recalled the words he had heard from a saint near his death: "I believe in the earth, not in gods..."

Mi Fei felt goosebumps rise all over his body instantly. He quickly put the matter aside for the time being, but his heart could not calm down for a long time.

Orpheus Oak glanced at Milfin suspiciously, seemingly lost in thought.

Meanwhile, the car was already moving forward along the red road, passing by the boundless coral ranch, where all kinds of magical beasts could be seen in herds.

Some freely moving trees radiated warm sunlight, their golden halos illuminating the otherwise cold seabed and bringing warmth to the ancient grass fungus and the magical beasts living within.

The air coral base expanded even more rapidly during this period, almost completely covering the area from the mainland to the Han Reef Island of Kroa.

Keep in mind that this is hundreds of nautical miles away. It's a miracle that they were able to create such a huge bubble and keep it stable.

Having arrived here, there's basically nothing more to do. For the rest of the time, they simply travel by car, receiving fish delivered by dolphins, fish-tailed sea ducks, and other magical beasts.

The truck was expanded again and again until it was completely full, filled with all sorts of ingredients and treasures.

After this journey, Hanjiao Island finally came into view in the distance.

At this time, Hanjiao Island also underwent tremendous changes.

Previously, Hanjiao Island was oval-shaped, but now it has become a very round circle, appearing as an extremely regular circle from a distance, and is much larger than before.

Roots seemed to be growing from around the island, penetrating deep into the seawater and gradually covering the surrounding water, while a yellowish-brown mist and dust were gathering on the surface.

Many new houses and villages have been built on the island. At least on the outer perimeter of Hanjiao Island, the houses have replaced the trees and surrounded the lush fields in the center of Hanjiao Island.

"It's twice the size!"

Seeing this, Jamie's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but complain, "Why doesn't Lord Kroya entrust the expansion of Han Reef Island to me? Am I not as capable as that guy Ryan?"

The other apprentices chimed in, complaining, "How can those guys compare to us?"

"Hmph, I must ask to stay on the island longer this time I see Lord Chloe."

Those who didn't know the situation might be curious, but both Milfein and Orpheus Oak knew what Kroa was doing.

The area of ​​Hanjiao Island is already over a thousand hectares, which is actually quite small. If you want to plant magical plants and raise magical beasts on a larger scale, the size of the place is the key.

Therefore, Kroya is attempting to reclaim land from the sea. This task is extremely arduous. The apprentices not only have to constantly monitor the rate at which earth elemental energy condenses, but also maintain the stability of the surrounding magical energy, and record the data at all times...

This is much more difficult than building roads outside. It requires Kroya to personally oversee the construction, which explains why Jamie and the others were sent outside.

In a sense, this was actually taking care of them; unexpectedly, they wanted to work even harder.

Even Rhea, who had been there for so long, didn't understand why these guys were so keen on working. Aren't you all noble mages and knights?

Clearly, he couldn't understand why these people were so fanatical about Kroya, almost to the point of having a religious devotion.

The apprentices, of course, didn't care what he was thinking. Having been away from Kroya for a whole year, they were eager to report back to their respected mentor.

Once the vehicles finally reached the shore, they immediately began to transform them. After an absurd transformation where the front of the vehicle became its body and the headlights became its head, they set foot on the land of Hanjiao Island with the transformed vehicles.

Along the way, they encountered Rob and Samir, who were leading villagers to prepare various foods in order to obtain ingredients.

The increasingly young butler was still wearing an extremely fitted vest, and his hair was neatly combed, making him look meticulous.

Even knights and mage apprentices who had become Level Two Transcendent beings would address him with utmost respect as "Butler."

This is almost impossible in the outside world, since there is a thick barrier between superhumans and ordinary people, but it is very common on Hanjiao Island.

After all, no matter how skilled the apprentices were, they couldn't compare to Kroya, and Kroya would absolutely not allow them to try to bully others on the island.

Thanks to this management style, and because the island's residents are mostly the apprentices' neighbors and friends, the apprentices have none of the arrogance of those extraordinary individuals outside. They even help the old lady next door dig a well to water her vegetables when they are at home...

In short, everything was peaceful on Han Reef Island.

This is also the scene that Kroya is willing to see. He doesn't have the ability to manage other places yet, but in his own territory, he will do whatever is pleasing to the eye.

"Are you going to see Lord Chloe?"

As Rob instructed Samir and the others to take the ingredients away, he casually asked a question.

"Yes."

Orpheus Oak asked curiously, "Is Kroa busy with something right now?"

"Yes," Rob smiled. "Lord Chloe is preparing a surprise, supposedly related to something he retrieved from the Yavana Sacred Mine."

Upon hearing this, both Milfein and Orpheus Oak immediately recalled the water lily that Kroa had brought back, which sealed the divine messenger.

The only thing that could make Kroa spend so much effort researching must be that thing, right?

Their curiosity was immediately piqued. After chatting with Robert for a few minutes, they put down the ingredients they had brought along the way and stepped onto the road leading into the inner island.

The path is hidden by all kinds of flowers and plants, and you can see tiny elves flapping their wings and playing among the flowers and trees.

Meanwhile, the road beneath their feet was covered with tiny magical runes, and small devices capable of releasing magical power were also cleverly hidden among the surrounding flowers and plants.

Nature and magic seemed to blend together perfectly at this moment.

Walking along this path, you are surrounded by the chirping of birds and insects, and all you can smell is the fresh, natural air and the delicate fragrance of grass, trees and flowers.

The exhaustion from not sleeping for days and nights vanished almost instantly.

They all slowed down, wanting to take it even slower and enjoy the natural path that Kroya himself had built and was currently experimenting with.

That's right. Since entering the inner island, we have actually entered the effective range of a huge magic circle.

This is a magic circle built by Kroya with the Gopher harp at its center, constantly chanting the Radiant Green Aria, spreading life to this land.

This is not just a one-sided effort, but a mutual achievement—when the natural music of the Radiant Green Aria resonates across the earth, the life of the earth also resonates.

If this continues, Kroya guesses that a new magical spectacle will form. After all, the "Poem of the Rainbow" is so special that he doesn't believe it can't form a magical spectacle.

However, the apprentices, along with Milfein and Orpheus Oak, are still unaware of Kroya's plans.

As they continued forward, suddenly, without warning, lush green plants, their surfaces shimmering with iridescent rainbow light, appeared beneath their feet.

These little blades of grass look very endearing, each one holding its head high, trying its best to spread its light.

As they drew closer to Kroya's mage tower, the surrounding rainbow grass grew ever more lush, its radiance tinged with a golden glow.

A strange magic reverberates through the connections between the rainbow grasses.

It seemed to constitute a special kind of magic, a... dream that was both real and illusory.

The apprentices knew little and did not yet understand what the magic of these rainbow grasses represented, but Orpheus Oak and Mifein could tell what it was.

After exchanging glances, the person and the tree walked expectantly into the warm sunlight formed by the swaying rainbow halo, as if stepping into a beautiful dream.

They entered the mage tower and climbed the steps, soon arriving at the elegant and beautiful pavilion built of silver moonwood on the top floor of the tower.

In the center of the attic, amidst intricate magical runes, flows magical power, a core area surrounded by rainbow grass.

They finally saw Kroa, surrounded by starlight and mist, with olive elves, lotus elves, and sunflower elves perched on his shoulders, a little angel on his head, and clock golems, a bunch of thirsty sea glow algae, and ethereal wolves all around him.

The elves, born of nature's favor, loved him so much that they almost fought over a spot closer to Kroa.

At this moment, he truly resembled a saint blessed by nature in a mural, holding a lotus flower that was just beginning to open in his hand.

There seems to be a beautiful dream within the lotus seedpod.

He smiled slightly at the crowd who had rushed over, hesitant to make a move, and said, "You've come at the right time. The Rainbow Grass Dreamscape I created is basically complete. Would you like to give it a try?"

His expression held a hint of excitement, and he looked at the crowd as if they were a bunch of free laborers delivered to his door.

Thank you all for your monthly tickets and recommendation votes, I am very grateful!
