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

Chapter 251. Interconnected Spatial Pockets, a Brand New Species

The idea of ​​building a river was ultimately not realized—because the dragon goblins had already painstakingly built a dragon's nest entirely made of ruby.

A dragon's nest!

Kroya purchased a travelogue left by a magic master skilled in architecture from the Holy Spring Merchant Guild, which highly praised the dragons' nests used to incubate their eggs.

He was very curious about what the dragon's nest looked like, and now that he can finally see it, he definitely wants to take a look.

These dragon goblins were left behind by the ruby ​​dragon to care for its offspring, so they were quite serious and focused on building the dragon's nest.

After observing the place, Kroya felt that it was no exaggeration to call them masters of dragon nest construction.

First of all, the dragon's nest itself is a huge magic circle that gathers magical power, with fresh winds and various elements flowing and blowing inside, creating a perfect environment for the dragon eggs.

It's important to know that while dragons are born with a particular elemental affinity, they generally accept almost anything except opposing elements.

The magic runes that can balance the flow of elements and keep magic active within the dragon's nest are enough for Kroya to learn.

At this moment, he stood inside the dragon's nest, observing with great excitement.

Before my eyes, a colorful, flowing magical energy constantly circulates, gently brushing over the dragon eggs placed in the bird's nest-like nest from the building materials that make up the dragon's nest.

The magical patterns on the surface and inside of the dragon egg flickered, as if it were breathing, transforming this magic into the essential nutrients needed by the baby dragon inside.

The magical runes inside this enormous nest, which spans over a thousand square meters, are all designed to serve the dragon eggs, providing them with the most favorable incubation environment.

The unknown magic patterns and structure intrigued him, so he began to study the function of the dragon's nest with great interest.

The more you observe, the more surprised you become.

"There are even magic runes here that restrict spatial movement?"

After observing for a while, Kroya discovered that this dragon's nest not only contained magic runes that balanced the flow of magic to maintain its activity, but also had the property of suppressing spatial magic.

Here, the activity of spatial magic is suppressed to the minimum, and even a small spatial blink cannot be used.

These magic runes are very useful.

Most importantly, it prevents people from using spatial magic to break in; this well-known effect goes without saying.

Cloa was concerned with production—

It's important to understand that suppression doesn't mean non-existence. Suppressing spatial magic makes controlling it much easier.

For example, the pelt shed by the Ether Wolf. The most troublesome thing about making it into a finished spatial magic artifact is the instability of spatial magic power.

This instability limited the manufacturing industry of spatial magic artifacts on Hanjiao Island, but now that we have this magic rune, it's not difficult to make them.

In a sense, suppression is more suitable for mass-producing magical artifacts than the method of controlling spatial magic he had just seen in the book the angel gave him.

After all, the latter is really difficult to learn, while the former only requires setting up a factory, which can be easily completed even by apprentices who have learned a little about making space magic artifacts.

He was quite moved, and then unceremoniously recorded all those magic runes. It didn't matter if he couldn't learn them, he could just copy them.

"I really don't know how you managed to build it so quickly."

He looked at the dragon goblins beside him, who had reverted to their goblin forms, and asked curiously, "Do you guys have spatial magic artifacts on you?"

The dragon goblin he questioned did not hide anything.

Despite having become a short and ugly goblin, it still tried its best to straighten up and pointed to a pouch on its stomach that was almost inseparable from its skin.

"This is a dragon language magic spell cast for us by Lord Asathill. Our spatial magic devices are interconnected, allowing us to retrieve items stored inside at any time."

"Oh?"

Kroa immediately became interested.

A spatial magic artifact that allows communication between different spaces?

He stared at the dragon goblin and reached out to touch the pocket on its stomach, only to find it had a texture that was warm with flesh and blood.

This bag, which looked to be semi-circular, had only one slit. Just as he was about to reach in and rummage through it, the dragon goblin finally stopped him with a serious expression.

"grown ups."

"The magical structure of this interconnected space is bound to our bodies and flesh; if any external magic enters, it will explode immediately!"

"Oh, I see. Never mind then."

Hearing this, Kroya gave up the urge to reach inside and rummage around—just now, after seeing this unusually shaped pocket, he suddenly remembered a blue cat-shaped robot from an anime he had watched in his previous life that was often mistaken for a tanuki.

This is really a strong sense of déjà vu.

Such special magic would be a great waste if it couldn't be obtained—so he immediately began to observe it using the Astral Imprint Technique.

Sure enough, they saw a very peculiar magical pattern that had almost been integrated into the dragon's flesh and blood. It was an ancient pattern, definitely a magic unique to the dragon race.

【Dragon Language Magic: Interconnected Spaces】

After stabilizing the spatial magic, a small space was created and connected to the interior of some life form.

[The small space will adapt to the magic of the parasitic life form. When magic power is similar, beings with the same magic power can share and retrieve items from the small space at any time.]

The hint from the Celestial Imprint Technique made Kroya realize, "So this is the method?"

He immediately began to memorize the structure of the magic runes inside.

To be honest, it's not complicated. With his current memory, he could easily remember it, and replicating it one-to-one shouldn't be too difficult.

If he only wants to create some magical artifacts using these runes, then it doesn't matter.

However, this doesn't work on magical beasts and magical plants.

If he only knows how to memorize by rote without understanding the content or the logic and methods of magic, then he would be disgracing the profession of a mage.

After writing it down, he asked without any hesitation, "I really want this kind of magic. Do you have any magic books about dragons?"

If there were any ancient texts, that would be best; if not… he could only try to find a solution from the red jade dragon inside the dragon egg.

He had previously discovered magical beasts with inherited memories, and it was possible to glimpse their heritage through the Astral Spirit Imprint Technique.

Although the process will be very arduous and may even involve the danger of offending the dragon ancestors, it is all worthwhile in the face of knowledge.

"We did indeed carry some dragon language magic and special potion knowledge." The dragon goblin pulled a book out of his pocket.

"They're all in here."

This is a very strange book, seemingly sewn together from the skin of some kind of magical beast. The surface has very obvious skin wrinkles, and more importantly…

"Alive?"

As soon as Chloe's questioning voice rang out, an eyeball suddenly appeared on the surface of the book, which was about twenty centimeters long. It rolled around uneasily and finally stopped on Chloe.

Those were bloodshot vertical pupils.

"..."

A strange feeling came over Kroya, making him feel very uncomfortable. He instinctively cast a sealing spell.

"Whoosh!"

The four-colored light formed a halo, completely surrounding the strange book and isolating it from the magical exchange with the outside world.

Then, like a fish that had just come ashore, the book twitched and struggled violently, and the vertical pupils on it actually rolled their eyes back.

"...My lord!" the dragon goblin hurriedly said, "It only wants to devour your magic power before signing a master-servant contract with you!"

Kroa glanced at him, but did not immediately release the seal. Instead, she first examined the structure of the magic book.

Observation revealed that this thing was indeed a living magical beast. Each page of the book was a layer of skin, folded to protect its magical core. Most importantly, each page contained magic.

The evolved Protoss Imprint Technique provides a hint:

[Dragon Language Magic: Flesh and Blood Animation.]

[Under the influence of dragon language magic, books containing magical inscriptions will grow flesh and come alive; they themselves are vessels of magic and will endlessly thirst for magical power.]

When there is insufficient mana to draw upon, the effectiveness of the dragon language magic, Flesh and Blood Animation, will gradually weaken until it becomes ineffective and the monster dies.

[This monster is currently isolated from external magical energy by Kroya's Four-Colored Light Sealing Technique and is gradually dying.]

"It's really powerful to be able to turn a book into a magical beast like this..." Kroya clicked his tongue in amazement and then reached out to release the seal spell composed of four colors of light.

The Blood and Flesh Grimoire seemed to finally breathe, frantically absorbing the surrounding magic. Then, its pages flipped open, and it obediently flew up, circling Kroa several times.

If it had a tail, it would probably be wagging its tail and flying around by now.

After circling around obsequiously a few times, it voluntarily turned to its first page, which contained very strange characters—not the script of the dragons, but the original script of the elves.

Thanks to the blessing from the angel, Kroya immediately recognized the contents of the contract. It was indeed a master-servant contract, and he could indeed obtain the magic from the Grimoire of Flesh and Blood.

But the prerequisite is to take good care of those dragon eggs and help them grow.

To be honest, this contract is really quite lenient.

There was even a hint of pleading in it, essentially exchanging benefits for the dragon eggs to grow strong, and there wasn't really any hidden content in the contract.

He thought about it for a moment and decided to sign it anyway.

After he left his magical imprint on the Blood and Flesh Codex, he fell to the ground with a thud as if he were drunk, the pages flipping rapidly and revealing everything.

Those are... a total of twenty kinds of dragon language magic and ten kinds of potion recipes and formulas.

The only problem is that all of them require the dragon's breath and magic power of the hatched Ruby Dragon as a medium to be used.

The reason these dragon goblins are able to craft certain items is mainly because they used the magical energy left behind by Nora.

Nora has left, and whatever they want to craft can only wait for a new Ruby Dragon to hatch.

The incubation period for the Red Jade Dragon...

Over a hundred years.

For a moment, Kroya was speechless.

Are you suggesting that these restrictions are meant to ensure that the dragons are properly cared for, or that they are being kept in captivity as experimental subjects?

He shook his head helplessly, temporarily giving up on learning these spells. He instructed the dragon goblins to take good care of the dragon eggs and to ask for anything they needed before leaving the dragon island.

Fortunately, although it cannot be used, it contains the logic and methods of magic operation, which should be learnable.

Hopefully, the Astral Imprinting Technique is magical enough to imprint directly without the aura of the Crimson Dragon.

……

three days later.

In the laboratory.

Kroya stared at the blue cat with a cattail-like tail in front of her and patiently performed the magical inscription.

The prerequisite for mastering the Celestial Imprint Technique is learning magic. After three days of patient study, coupled with his superficial understanding of the Dragon's Nest, the World Tree, and the Ark's spatial folding spell, he finally managed to learn the spell with difficulty.

His research revealed that the magic should be accurately divided into two stages.

The first stage is the special effect of the Crimson Jade Dragon's aura on life and flesh; the second stage is to inject stable spatial magic into the flesh.

Without the influence of the Red Jade Dragon's aura in the first stage, life itself would hardly be able to form a "pocket" that could perfectly contain this magical symbiosis.

This is why the instructions specify that it requires the aura of the Red Jade Dragon to perform.

It's important to know that the Crimson Jade Dragon's ability to influence life and flesh is almost on par with that of a legendary necromancer or flesh wizard.

If it really is those two, then it's possible to bypass the effects of flesh and blood, but the problem is that they are legends!

How many legends are there in the world?

However, Kroa's Celestial Imprint Technique can affect flesh and blood!

After being imprinted, magic can even reshape the external form and internal structure of magical beasts or magical plants. Is this not comparable to the magic of the Crimson Jade Dragon?

That Star Spirit Imprint Technique is worse than just burying yourself.

Kroya even had a sudden inspiration: he first imprinted a simplified version of the real transfiguration technique he had learned from the angels onto the cattail spirit cat, and then proceeded with the imprinting.

During the engraving process, he intentionally fused the two engraved magical structures a second time, wanting to create a completely new kind of magic.

This process was extremely laborious, far more difficult than imprinting individual spells. In order to make the spatial magic more stable, he even used the power of three Sky Shards.

The cost was quite high, but fortunately, the result satisfied him greatly.

[Imprint successful, Cattail Spirit Cat (True Shapeshifting - Simplified, Dragon Language Magic - Interdimensional Communication)]

[Due to your fusion, the two spells will be combined into a brand new spell: Space Pocket Transformation!]

[After the Cattail Spirit Cat casts this spell, it will transform into a Pocket Monster with a shared space, which can be shared with other Monsters that have also been imprinted with this spell.]

"Huh?"

"I remember the previous dragon language magic required the presence of an entity with the same magical power, so why doesn't this one?"

Kroa was slightly taken aback, then suddenly thought of a possibility: Could it be that the magical power of the Pokémon transformed by the True Transformation spell is the same?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Pokémon = Same Magic Attribute.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with it!

"Try transforming," he said, patting the cattail spirit. The cattail's body trembled and then, under Kroya's gaze, transformed into a blue, semi-circular pouch.

It's about ten centimeters long and has cattail civet fur on its surface, making it look quite cute.

Through observation using the Astral Spirit Imprint Technique, it was discovered that the name of this pocket had changed from "Cattail Spirit Cat" to "Pocket Monster"!

In other words...

"A completely new species?!"

Kroya was immediately dumbfounded. This was a completely new species that had never appeared in the monster encyclopedia before, and it had even transformed from a magical plant like the cattail spirit cat into a magical beast!

How is that possible? Can real shapeshifting create entirely new species?

He had used the True Shapeshifting Technique on some magical beasts after he obtained it, but this had never happened before. Even the Phantom Cloud Serpent, which was most skilled at disguise, had the mark "Phantom Cloud Serpent - Disguise" on its Astral Body Imprint.

He quickly summoned the angel, for he had learned this magic from Him, and could only ask Him, the creator of the magic.

But this time even the angels were stunned.

He stared at the cattail civet that had turned into a blue pocket for a long time.

For the first time, a look of confusion appeared on his face, but he finally shook his head: "I'm sorry, lucky friend... I don't know why either."

"You don't know either?" Kroa asked in surprise.

"Yes."

"True Polymorph is similar to the magic that druids use to transform into magical beasts such as dragons, bears, or owl-like creatures."

Essentially, it's just shapeshifting, but it grants the user some special abilities, unlike something that completely alters the species... I've never seen anything like it.

A strange light flickered in the angel's eyes. He seemed to have thought of something and hesitated before saying, "The basic structure of the True Transfiguration Technique comes from a single crystal of the Void Crystal of the Ring."

Perhaps in the distant past, the truth represented by that lost core of the void did indeed possess the ability to create.

Please explore its potential as much as possible.

Upon hearing the words "Sky Crystal," Kroya immediately recalled the Illusion Crystal Treasure Box she had obtained from the Merfolk and the Sage in Water Magic. Could these three be the same?

He voiced his doubts, and the angel nodded after listening: "That's right, the Seven Luminaries Magic system was only able to be performed by ancient gods and sages using the Seven Luminaries Crystals."

If I'm not mistaken, this change is very likely related to the Void Crystal you used as a spatial force.

"Can I learn these spells?" Kroya was really curious, but unfortunately even the Holy Spring Merchant Guild didn't sell Seven Luminaries magic.

"...Once you learn the first inheritance I give you, I will give you some knowledge of the Void Magic." The angel did not refuse.

"Okay, I'll try to learn as quickly as possible!"

Kroya was immediately energized. In the following period, he used the power of the Void Crystal and the True Transformation Technique as a basis to try out more magical beasts, hoping to create more unique magical beast species.

Unfortunately, none of them succeeded. They not only used up a lot of their reserves of Sky Crystals, but also created some strange and bizarre magical beasts.

The appearance of Pokémon seemed like an accident, and even the angels couldn't explain why it happened.

Left with no other choice, Kroa had to temporarily give up and instead began manufacturing more of these Pokémon to distribute to his apprentices.

While he was busy, two dukes had already decided to teach him a lesson—to avenge Kroya for taking the dragon eggs.
