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

Chapter 235. Leave the matter to your subordinates, let's have a banquet.

"cat?"

Kroya's first reaction was surprise; this guy had managed to land on his shoulder so silently.

How could that be?

When mages arrive at unknown and potentially dangerous places, they will raise a magical shield, and they will cast the magical shield at any cost.

He was no exception, of course.

Such a powerful magic shield allowed this guy to get close and even lick himself. Are you kidding me?

Meow~~~

The black cat on his shoulder meowed again when it saw that he didn't react.

Thanks to the power of the All-Encompassing Communication Technique, Kroa understood its meaning—the first human to enter its body.

Kroya had never understood why the All-Encompassing Communication Technique could provide such a complicated explanation for these magical beasts simply making a sound.

He had also learned other Druidic communication spells, but none of them had produced this kind of unclear translation.

Perhaps this is what makes legendary magic so special.

He thought this through without feeling nervous at all, because the black cat showed him no hostility whatsoever.

He even had the leisure to reach out and stroke the soft, smooth fur of the black cat on his shoulder, his tone calm: "You must be the spirit of this plane, right?"

The fact that he could so easily ignore his magic shield and that even he couldn't see through the magic fluctuations was crucial, especially since he had already seen the words "Spirit of the Plane" through the Celestial Spirit Imprint Technique.

While it's true that spirituality can arise in different planes, it's generally the case that only small planes can generate spirituality; it's practically impossible for large planes to do so.

Now he's no longer surprised to see these abnormal guys; after all, he's seen them all the time.

The response he received was a "meow".

The black cat happily licked his cheek, and then started meowing.

Kroya still didn't know how the All-Encompassing Communication Technique could translate this series of "meows" that were at most just different tones.

The general idea is that it wants Kroya to help light up all the lanterns in this world, creating the concept of day and night for a certain period of time.

When light and darkness meet, a very special magical material will be produced.

Well, that's all it says.

It didn't specify what the magical material was, only meowing to indicate that it would definitely satisfy Kroa; some elves had found treasures here before.

Kroya felt speechless and helpless about this vague guy.

However, it cannot be denied that his curiosity was indeed aroused, with only a few hours left before the evening banquet.

He then tentatively began to study the specific situation here.

After a brief attempt, he finally discovered that... the world seemed to have no concept of "sunlight" at all.

Even the four-colored magic he released, which was almost like sunlight, could not last long in this world, because there was eternal magic inside!

However, those strange tombstone-devouring trees become even more active under the sunlight he releases, devouring tombstones at a rate that exceeds the rate at which the tombstones grow.

Those strange lanterns further away are also a kind of magical plant called "Dark Lamp Flower," which absorbs light and becomes bright when exposed to sunlight.

Its light effectively dispels darkness, making it the only light source in the world that can exist for a long time.

After Kroya spent a lot of effort to make it light up for a while, the tombstone-like magical plants growing around the lamp were actually devoured by him.

After the strange demonic plant on the tombstone devoured its own body, it fell to the ground and decayed, adding a touch of magnificent color to the grayish-white dust.

It was a gradient of colors that shone exceptionally brightly in the darkness.

From golden red, orange-yellow, and violet to the final fiery red, it's like the gradually changing sunset glow, exceptionally vivid and three-dimensional.

It was as if the light of the sunset had truly been cut off.

It radiated abundant magical power, which, according to Kroya's perception, should be a level three magical power fluctuation.

According to the "Magic Material Classification", the level can be determined as level three, but the specific effects still need to be tested.

"So this is one of the two level-three magical materials the Holy Spring Merchant Guild mentioned? Let me see what it's used for."

Just as he was about to pick it up to look at it, the black cat perched on his shoulder suddenly let out a "meow" and swallowed the gradually changing sunset into its mouth.

"You bastard!" Kroya was speechless.

The black cat completely ignored Chloe's complaints and slowly savored the glow of the sunset as if it were candy.

As it continued to chew, a small flower resembling an ear of wheat suddenly grew beside Kroya.

It is composed of numerous slender petals arranged closely together, with the petals staggered in a well-ordered manner, full of natural rhythmic beauty, and tiny stamens hidden deep in the petals, radiating golden light.

"Golden spike flower".

He didn't know why, but seeing such a small flower appear in an environment that resembled the underworld felt very incongruous and abrupt.

What's even stranger is that after these little flowers grew, nothing else happened; they just quietly grew there, and no matter how much Kroya asked the black cat, it didn't answer.

He was simply urging Kroya to continue using the lamps to speed up the process of devouring the tombstones.

Kroya pursed her lips and left without hesitation.

Just kidding, he still has a lot of things to do.

Although this place is special, it's not worth him spending ten days or half a month here as a laborer to renovate it.

Since all that's needed here is sunlight to light the lamps, why doesn't he just bring the sun grass? It's better to leave this to his subordinates.

So, immediately after he left, he summoned an apprentice who usually performed quite well.

This person wasn't brought to Hanjiao Island in the snowstorm, but rather was a descendant of nobles. Among the nobles, there were some intelligent ones.

The boy who was now bowing respectfully before him looked to be no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, with a very youthful appearance.

His father was Baron Andy.

After being tormented to the point of near death by the Mammon Vine, the poor Baron saw it behaving like a docile puppy in front of Chloe.

Since then, he has lost the will to oppose Kroa.

Baron Andy quickly handed everything over to Chloe, proactively helping Chloe to swiftly take control of his territory and saving him a lot of trouble.

Seeing how sensible he was and how well he set a good example, Kroya generously gave him a relatively free treatment.

To be honest, enjoying pleasure can be a good thing sometimes; at least the treatment Cloa gave them was something these nobles had never experienced before.

Whether it's the readily available tap water, the lights that can be turned on at any time in the evening or at night, the clean and tidy shower rooms and toilets, or the temperature-regulating magic circle that keeps the room in a spring-like state all year round.

They are all extremely attractive to them.

Tempted by Baron Andy's early acceptance of these benefits, they were quickly willing to help Cloa take over their territories.

Kroya was quite satisfied, so he waved his hand and agreed to Baron Andy's request that his son be allowed to enter his training camp as an apprentice.

Surprisingly, this baron's son was much more hardworking, ambitious, and intelligent than his father.

He not only doesn't act arrogantly because of his noble birth, but he also often mingles with farm boys from various parts of the North, and he has good interpersonal relationships and training results.

So, Kroya chose him to do the job.

"Kashu".

"I'll leave this matter to you."

He patted Kashu on the shoulder, expressing his expectations.

Poor Kashu had never faced Kroa before, and when Kroa suddenly patted him on the shoulder, he was so excited he almost fainted.

"Teacher, please don't worry, I will definitely do my best!"

He even started to stutter when he spoke.

Kroya found it amusing and got into a playful mood, so she had food brought over and, while eating, told him about her discoveries and her general plan.

Kashu was even more excited to receive such a grand treatment. His face turned as red as a shrimp, and his hands trembled while he ate.

Finally, Kroya's wicked intentions were satisfied, and he handed over access to the Sun Grass Nursery to Kashu, waving his hand so that he could choose who to try it out.

He now has enough resources to experiment, so he doesn't care whether the other party can do it well or not; at worst, he can just find a few more people to try.

In his mind, many people simply lack an opportunity to express themselves, and he is happy to give such opportunities to these people in a way that is as equal as possible.

Of course, he observed for a while.

After entering the world shrouded in night, Kashu showed no fear. He and his companions first planted the Sun Grass, which had already merged with the Energy Storage Tree.

They were all educated in magic and had the materials at their disposal, enabling them to draw some basic magic runes.

Using the Sun Grass as the core, they first built their dwellings, and then began to lay out and draw magic runes around them. This was completely different from Kroya's method of breaking through with force, highlighting a steady and methodical approach.

Soon, magic crystal slabs made of magic crystals were laid around the sun grass, extending all the way to the lamps.

The astral crystal coating on the outside of the magic crystal plate can minimize the impact of external forces on the flow of magic inside, allowing it to be smoothly injected into the dim lamp flower.

As they laid the pipes, they meticulously recorded the maximum range that the light emitted by each dim lamp flower could influence, striving to ensure that not a single ounce of magic was wasted.

After all, even the sun grass is suppressed and withered in such an environment. If you want it to continue to be effective, it definitely needs to rest.

With the help of the Tower Spirit's avatar, these apprentices even began measuring the changes in the surrounding magic, trying to find the most suitable time to activate the Sungrass.

All of this was actually a plan they devised in just one hour, which shows how strong their execution ability is.

Seeing how well his apprentices were doing, Kroya felt relieved. He looked at the setting sun outside, where the magnificent sunset glowed on the horizon.

This is his birthday.

It was his own birthday, not the original owner of this world's birthday.

He sat by the window, staring blankly at the sky for a while, then looked down and saw the outer island where the birthday party venue had already been set up.

Colorful lights and magical creations shone like a rainbow; walking magical plants ran and frolicked with the magical beasts; all the apprentices who could make it back did, and they waited with the islanders for fireworks to rise from the mage tower in the center of the island.

The number of people is actually not large, only a little over a thousand.

Because very few islanders are able to obtain residency permits on Han Reef Island; most of them are people who have been working hard since the island's development began.

"Let's begin."

After taking a deep breath, he gave instructions to the tower spirit.

The moment the words fell, beams of four colors shot out from the sunflowers arranged around the mage tower.

They shot into the sky with a "whoosh," then exploded with a "boom" high in the air, releasing all sorts of colors contained within them.

The sky instantly transformed into a canvas, allowing the colors sprayed out by the sunflowers to paint—the sun, the earth, the ocean, endless flower fields and meadows…

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the sky.

After the fireworks exploded, tiny sparks of light fell from the sky like shooting stars, gradually increasing in number until they formed a spectacular meteor shower.

These clear lights fell from the sky and landed on everyone, and anyone covered by these lights felt refreshed and invigorated.

Milfein was naturally among them. He reached out and caught a tiny shard of starlight, a smile playing on his lips: "This is the Starlight Blessing scroll from the Holy Spring Merchant Guild. Kroya is truly generous."

The so-called Starlight Blessing Scroll is a very high-level blessing magic. Ordinary people who receive starlight will be free from illness and disaster for a long time, and may even have the ability to increase their vitality, that is, extend their lifespan.

The superhumans will increase their strength, and for superhumans below level three, it can even have a powerful effect of increasing their strength by 10% to 20%.

You have to understand... this is a group blessing. Each Starlight Blessing scroll has a limit on the number of people who can receive it, and now with all this starlight falling from the sky, who knows how many scrolls it will take.

Kroa is truly willing to sacrifice!

After the fireworks, towering waves suddenly rose in the once calm seas surrounding Hanjiao Island. Although they were violent, they did not affect Hanjiao Island in the slightest.

It gradually expanded and extended, eventually enveloping the entire Hanjiao Island, with moonlight and ocean moisture pouring in at that moment.

Prince Treden, the mermaid, stood on the waves, holding a flower that looked like a dog's tail, and waved it vigorously toward Hanjiao Island.

The magic of the ocean is poured out.

His still somewhat immature voice rang out:

"The Godfather Chloe".

"This is a gift for you."

"As long as they remain your subjects, they can breathe and swim freely in the Sea of ​​Atlantis and in any ocean throughout the entire continent of Zemuria, and reap an unlimited catch!"

Everyone was enveloped by the magic emanating from the mermaid prince and was given the "Blessing of the Blue Sea".

Kroya appeared from the top of the mage tower, smiled slightly at the mermaid prince, and said, "Thank you~"

With a broad smile, Treden tossed aside the foxtail grass—no, the spirit grass—and ran to Chloe's side.

This is not finished.

The waves stirred up by the mermaid prince had just subsided when terrifying magic surged through the vegetation and land of Hanjiao Island.

The magic that the Earth Mother's chosen one, the Oak of Orpheus, had spent a year guiding together with the northern lands, erupted at this moment.

The Orpheus Oak stood proudly on the surging earth, proclaiming loudly, "My friend Chloe, in the North, your lands and all your people will be free from the threat of wild beasts, and the seeds you sow will yield double the harvest!"

The azure and silvery-white of the ocean and moonlight had just faded, and the earthy yellow magic of the land enveloped everyone.

Cloa expressed her gratitude once again: "My oak friend, you will always have a place in my world!"

The bark of the Orpheus oak tree showed no change, but it was in an extremely cheerful mood, and small flowers bloomed on its head.

But that's not all.

After the earthy yellow light descended, a holy white-gold light shone down into the sky, and eight phantom images of angels with enormous wings could be vaguely seen on their backs.

Since their appearance, platinum light has formed rings that surround the entire Hanjiao Island, vaguely resembling the shape of a four-leaf clover.

One of the angels spoke, his voice supremely holy: "May your people be free from the suffering of spring, summer, autumn, and winter; may your people be free from disease; may your people enjoy pleasure in their dreams; may your people find peace in the light of the sun."

After saying that, He actually flapped His wings and descended from the sky, scattering countless feathers made of light, and came straight to Kroa.

Just like many times before, the only difference was that this time He was two heads taller than Kroa, making Kroa look rather petite.

So much so that when he kissed Chloe's forehead, Chloe had a strange feeling, and he whispered, "Are you really alright?"

"certainly."

The angel blinked: "Don't worry, the corrupted light is still asleep. Even if the Church of Light finds out about this, it will only have awe for you."

"Because these angels are copies of each other, angels who died in battle in the distant past."

He blinked, flapped his wings, and flew away.

From then on, blessings from the sea, the land, and the sky were all complete.

People were stunned for a long time.

This was truly astonishing; it was the first time they had ever witnessed such miraculous power.

It took them a long time to come to their senses and begin to present their most beloved lord with birthday gifts.

The gifts were varied, including handcrafted handicrafts, captured and collected magical beasts and plants, as well as gems and pearls from the sea...

In short, they were all treasures that they considered the most solemn and exquisite.

Even the spirits he kept and the mermaids in the sea came to offer their congratulations.

It's very lively.

Kroya accepted them all without hesitation.

Let's begin!

With a wave of his hand, he began the banquet, and all sorts of food were served in a continuous stream.

There are freshly picked fruits and vegetables, meat from land animals and fish from rivers, as well as magical beasts from the sea, and even mushrooms from underground.

Even a king wouldn't be able to enjoy such food so casually, but here it's served like a flowing stream, and people can take and eat as much as they want.

People enjoy themselves to the fullest, without having to worry about anything; all they need to do is revel.

The banquet lasted for a full day and night, during which Chloe was also immersed in the pleasant experience of chatting with friends and enjoying delicious food.

As for what happens in the future, we'll talk about that later.
