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

Chapter 260. Wool and Gold, Long Period of Meditation

The reason he was so certain it was a Titan, and not some other divine being or magical beast, was...

The fundamental reason is...

The Astral Imprint spell shows it as "Cloud Titan," but it is categorized under the category of monsters.

Ok……

It's one thing for dragons to be magical beasts, but now even Titans are considered magical beasts. He seriously doubts that his cheat ability comes from some humanist civilization.

"But to actually see Titan, I really don't know whether to call it good luck or bad luck."

Hmm, why isn't this guy responding?

After a while of random thoughts, he didn't experience the pressure of being watched by the Titan that he had imagined. Instead, his mental energy sensed a faint, almost imperceptible, force of death.

How could there be the power of death in such a bright and clear sky?

"Could it be emanating from Titan?"

He pondered for a few minutes, but the Titan in the distance remained motionless, which emboldened him.

"let me see……"

He couldn't let go of such a rare opportunity to see the Titan directly, so he immediately used the Astral Imprint Technique and the ability to conceal magic to carefully examine the Titan's Astral Body.

When his spiritual power probed into the Titan's body through the wondrous power of the Astral Imprint Technique, he saw the dark magic hidden beneath the clouds.

Beneath its, or rather, beneath its radiant, cloud-like skin, lies a dark, rotten-looking "flesh and blood," from which one can almost smell the putrid stench of decay.

The stench affected the magic, and even Kroya couldn't withstand the impact of the stench, so he quickly stopped the inscription spell.

After taking several deep breaths, the stench that had lingered inside his nasal cavity finally dissipated.

"So it really is a ghost."

Kroya hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward, intending to explore the area a little.

Now that Titan is dead, I should be safe, right?

"Splat~"

The moment his feet touched the white mist, he felt that the mist beneath his feet was like soft jelly, with a slight elasticity.

"The magic of cloud condensation looks somewhat similar to the innate magic of the Phantom Cloud Serpents."

He looked around and was about to walk forward.

result.

The golden sheep that had been running freely in the distance all turned to look at him, their eyes piercing. It was quite strange to be stared at by so many sheep.

"Meow!"

One of the sheep, which was particularly large, suddenly rushed over, moving as fast as a golden lightning bolt.

"They've arrived."

Kroya immediately prepared a magical shield, and the symphony was ready to be played at any moment, keeping an eye on the charging sheep.

As it approached Kroa, it suddenly stood upright, as if it were wearing a sheepskin, beneath which was the image of a strong, dark-skinned man.

He was over two meters tall, and his entire body was covered except for a sheepskin draped over his back, with a leather skirt around his waist, revealing somewhat exaggerated muscles.

Unbelievable that sheep could turn into this, Kroya felt she could no longer look at these sheep the same way.

"Humans".

"Are you sent by Eurydice?"

He looked at Kroya and said, "It's been hundreds of years, and finally someone has come to the Golden Fleece airspace..."

The man seemed somewhat wistful.

Kroya shook his head decisively: "Grand Mage Eurydice left the continent of Zemuria long ago. I simply took over the floating island he left behind and then came here."

"Oh?" The man tilted his head. "Then you played the strings on the Qinghai Kongjing, which was left by Lady Ilister for her apprentice."

Only the Clear Sky Whale can traverse the boundless sky and enter the Golden Fleece Skyfield, a world shrouded in the power of the Titans.

"Yes." This time, Chloe did not deny it.

"I came here by accident."

There's no benefit in lying when you know nothing about the situation, especially since he could sense that the creature in front of him, whether human or sheep, meant him no harm whatsoever.

So he smiled sincerely, like bright and pure sunlight breaking through the clouds: "May I ask, is there anything you can tell me?"

—This is the charm spell he learned, and when released through the special magic of "Rainbow Poem", it has an extremely exaggerated amplification effect.

After all, very few people dislike the sun.

"..."

"An accident is insignificant." The man widened his eyes, then grinned at Chloe, revealing a set of white teeth. "I am Athamas, the shepherd of the Golden Sheep. Welcome."

"Whether you are from Eurydice or not, coming here is a sign of destiny."

"My lambs need some food now, and the food left by the goddess has been contaminated. If you can help me, I am willing to give you enough of the Golden Fleece."

Kroa blinked, thinking to herself: This charm spell is quite powerful. Why is the other party suddenly so friendly?

And the goddess—could she be referring to this Titan? Can Titans be called gods?

His mind raced, and he immediately replied, "What kind of food do you need? I'm best at cultivating all sorts of magical plants."

Atamas still had a smile on his face: "We need Dragon's Blood Fruit."

"...Uh." Kroya didn't know what to say for a moment. Even if he could catch a young dragon now, it would be very difficult to cultivate the Dragon Blood Fruit.

The shepherd seemed to sense Kroya's predicament and continued, "Only the fruit of the dragon's blood fruit, full of vitality, can irrigate this cloud and allow the fruit inside to successfully sprout."

Only when the fruit sprouts can the lambs be fed.

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed a handful of soft wool from his sheepskin and handed it to Kroya: "Spin it into thread, then use it to filter gold, and you will obtain treasures."

Once you obtain these treasures, you should be willing to trade with me.

"Take this and try it out; consider it my deposit."

Kroya reached out and took the Golden Fleece, gently kneading it. She felt that apart from being exceptionally soft, it didn't seem to have anything special about it.

"What exactly is the use of the Golden Fleece?"

The shepherd did not answer.

He looked at Chloe.

"Human mage, your charm spell is very useful in the sunlight; it really reminds me of some wonderful memories from the past."

but……"

He suddenly bent down, the sunlight blocked by the golden sheepskin behind him, like a huge magic circle that blots out the sky.

His dark pupils stared directly at Kroa, bringing with them a magical pressure. He said:

"Please be careful, there are too many people who crave the beauty of sunshine and its irresistible charm."

Charm is the most unique power, and also the most powerful force to ignite desire. I have a friend who is still sprinkling water from the heavens, representing wisdom.

Because of his appearance, he was favored by God.

After saying these words, he turned around and quickly transformed into a golden ram, hopping and skipping back to the flock.

She seems to be in a good mood.

As Chloe watched him leave, a thought struck her, and she sincerely bowed slightly: "Thank you for your advice."

Undeniably, he was indeed a bit too bold. Charm spells are really easy to arouse people's desires, after all, this thing originated from demonic magic.

If it were someone else... say someone like Elise who has a pursuit of beauty, perhaps her charm would become a sin, and she might even be arrested.

Therefore, it's best not to misuse this kind of overly exaggerated charm.

……

He quickly left the golden pasture embraced by the Titans and returned to his island, immediately using the teleportation magic circle he had set up to return to the Reef Island.

After a brief hesitation, he still did not go to find the angel in the lake behind the mountain.

He felt he shouldn't develop the habit of seeking help from angels every time he needed something, since he was capable of doing things himself.

The key question now is what exactly is the use of this Golden Fleece.

So he quickly and skillfully crafted a small ball of golden wool into yarn.

Fortunately, he had already purchased a complete set of magical tools for processing wool from the Holy Spring Merchant Guild, otherwise it would have been quite difficult to turn wool into yarn.

After making the golden gauze, he took out a pile of gold from the warehouse, placed it on the gauze, and then gently shook it.

Then, a miraculous thing happened—

The gold began to melt and seep through the tiny pores of the golden wool yarn, eventually turning into a flowing golden liquid.

One kilogram of gold ore, after being filtered through yarn spun from golden wool, yields approximately one hundred grams.

However, the surface of these filtered golden liquids was surrounded by a brilliant and luxurious luster, like sunlight, and at the same time, they exuded an undeniable magical power.

"...Refined gold?"

He immediately recognized it as a highly renowned type of adamantite among magical metals!

"How is that possible?"

Can the Golden Fleece be transformed into pure gold?

Kroya couldn't believe it was true; ordinary gold could actually be turned into refined gold, and it was clearly refined gold that had been refined.

What kind of material is this wool that it can undergo such a transformation?

In the world of magic, adamantite is an extremely powerful metal with an extraordinary ability to guide magic, even surpassing that of magic crystals.

It is said that the magic flowing within experimental equipment made of adamantite does not even diminish.

He had already built a laboratory using the gold produced by the Golden Butterfly, with all the experimental equipment and magic arrays made of gold.

Even the Mage Guild of the Kingdom of Norland probably didn't have enough gold to build a laboratory of this caliber.

"If it's possible to convert it into refined gold, what's required?"

Kroya glanced at the seemingly unchanged golden wool yarn, took out a pile of materials, and quickly made a small funnel-shaped device.

A continuous stream of gold is fed into this magical device via a conveyor belt, and the conversion rate from gold to refined gold is recorded and measured.

He watched patiently as the gold was sent into the magical artifact.

One kilogram, ten kilograms, one hundred kilograms...

The final number stopped at one hundred kilograms.

After 100 kilograms of gold passed through the Golden Fleece and were transformed into 10 kilograms of refined gold, the golden wool yarn completely lost its luster and became ordinary wool yarn.

"A conversion rate of one to ten."

This number is actually quite exaggerated, because there are indeed formulas for making artificial refined gold in alchemy, and Kroa has obtained them.

That thing not only requires setting up a special alchemy array, but also a bunch of different kinds of potions to convert one kilogram of gold into tens of grams of refined gold.

But what about this one?

It didn't consume much at all, but at the cost of the Golden Fleece, it was equivalent to creating a complex adamantite alchemy magic circle.

"good."

"Tower Spirit, how's the quality of this refined gold?"

He nodded and then asked.

The Tower Spirit has already made a preliminary attempt—it experimented with the flow of magic within the ten kilograms of adamantite, and the result was quite smooth, just like gliding on ice.

"This is of very high quality, even higher than the fine gold you purchased from the Holy Spring Merchant Guild," Towering concluded.

"Then use this adamantite to upgrade the core facilities of the laboratory," Kroya instructed. "Keep a close eye on the dragon eggs. If there are any signs of them hatching, let me know immediately. Also, ask Lord Flame Mountain if he'd be willing to trade some dragon blood."

He really wanted the Golden Fleece. If he had enough of it, he could even do some business of converting gold into refined gold, and even with a little bit of profit-taking, it would be incredibly profitable.

However, dragon blood is hard to find. The other party said that it needs to contain life force, which further narrows down the range of dragons that can be used.

Unless he takes action himself, capturing a dragon will be very difficult and could even anger the dragon race. This is obviously not something to be done lightly.

Therefore, they can only wait for their dragon eggs to hatch.

It's estimated that even the Lord of Flame Mountain wouldn't be willing to trade his wife's blood.

Things are as they are; there's no need to rush. Let's take it slow.

The only pity was that he forgot to leave a bit of the Golden Fleece to test its magical reaction, to see exactly how it transformed gold into refined gold.

I was really excited, so I'll have to wait until I get the Golden Fleece to do more magic tests.

The tower spirit obediently replied, "Okay."

"Okay, I'm going to the floating island now. After you finish dealing with things here, try to adapt to the magical environment of the floating island as soon as possible."

Remember to keep an eye on the whale in the center of the floating island and see what's going on with it.

"Okay."

After giving his instructions, Kroya returned to his floating island and went to the Skyshine Mine, which was surrounded by a tight magic circle.

This vein is a miniature version of the Kongyao ore vein.

One after another, platinum-colored crystals of ethereal light are buried deep within the thick rock layers, like stars shining in the dark night sky.

It is worth mentioning that these rocks are extremely hard; even a typical steel pickaxe probably couldn't penetrate them.

Therefore, mining veins becomes extremely difficult.

Kroya tried throwing a few explosive fireballs, but they only left shallow marks on the rock face.

"This level of hardness."

He couldn't help but be surprised, and suddenly thought that the quality of these rocks was so exaggerated, could they be used to make some equipment?

For example, stone knives or stone axes?

What makes them so hard?

Could it be due to the subtle influence of the magic released by these Void Crystals, or is it because of their existence that the Void Crystals were created?

As a qualified mage, his curiosity was naturally quite strong. He was no longer just pursuing the mining of a single vein, but wanted to study the formation of the vein.

Thanks to the massive mineral veins on Hanjiao Island that were created by the arrival of the illusory god's magic, he had obtained a lot of data and had personally inspected the mines of Shuiyao Crystal.

After compiling this data and his speculations, he discovered that the formation of a mineral vein basically requires a special magic field and a supply of magic power.

Those special magical fields will gather elements together, nurturing them in the earth and mineral veins, eventually producing all kinds of ores.

In other words, if the magical structure in the ore vein can be perfectly replicated, it is possible to artificially create the ore.

Of course, using it on ordinary ores might be a bit of a waste, but using it on special veins like Void Crystal is well worth it.

Moreover, if we can actually figure it out, we might gain some additional benefits.

"Let's try this and see if it works."

"We've already seen results with ordinary magic crystal veins and metal veins; the question is whether we can apply them to high-quality veins like the Void Crystal."

Kroya took out some slender, yellowish-brown earthworms from his pocket. Their bodies were embedded with tiny magical detection devices and marked with the spell "Hand of the Mother Goddess".

I learned this magic from the book "Miracle of the Earth? The Buried Magic (Part 1)" given to me by Mifein. Its purpose is to make the magic circle more compatible with nature.

If it is imprinted on the body of a magical beast, it can be allowed to seep into it without affecting the natural magic.

What Kroya needs to do now is to get these earthworms into the mine and record the fluctuations of magic without disrupting the mine's special magic field.

As soon as the earthworms left his palm, they burrowed into the rock wall of the mine. The rock wall, as hard as magical metal, did not stop them for even a second.

As if dissolved, they directly dissolved into the rock wall, trying their best to shuttle through the rock wall, gradually surrounding the entire Kongyao crystal vein.

Then the magical artifacts on them began to function, continuously transmitting data to the crystal tower in the center of the mine, drawing a map of magical power distribution.

Of course, this will take a long time to complete.

After doing all this, Kroya didn't touch the Void Crystal inside. He walked out of the mine, found a lush green meadow, and lay down.

There have been so many things happening lately.

War, Dukes, Floating Islands, Titans...

He suddenly felt a bit tired and decided to take a good rest for a while, and then spend the next period of time farming and managing his territory.

Let's at least digest the benefits first before expanding outwards.

Closing her eyes, Chloe relaxed completely and began to meditate.

The bliss of letting go of everything made him feel as if he were soaking in warm water, and his meditation efficiency naturally became extremely high.

He was completely unaware that the warm, gentle sunlight from the astral plane was weaving and swirling around him, refracting into rainbow-like bridges.

One after another, rainbow grass sprouted from the soil, surrounding him and forming a warm and comfortable meadow for him to lie down in.

Beside it, the Rainbow Grass Angel sat upright on the largest Rainbow Grass, like a loyal guardian.

Time slowly passed, and no matter how the weather changed, whether it was a storm or sunshine, the rainbow grass always provided a pure land.

The Rainbow Grass Angel waited quietly for Chloe's long meditation to end.

It will indeed take a long time.
