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

Chapter 284. Evelyn's Visit to the Academy

"Owner."

"An unusual magical fluctuation passed through the Lake Gate."

Should we intervene?

The tower spirit immediately sent the woman's appearance and the detected magical fluctuations to Chloe.

The latter glanced at it and frowned slightly.

The magical energy fluctuations emanating from the diagram alone are close to level ten, which is clearly not something that can appear casually.

But to be honest, level 10 isn't all that great.

The magical defenses of the North have been continuously improved. Even a level 10 powerhouse would not fare well if he entered the North, and there would be no need to deploy oak and gopher wood elves.

If Chloe wanted to, she could cut off the space where the woman was now, and the violent spatial fluctuations would definitely bury her completely inside the Lake Gate.

This lake gate is not just for convenience.

Unified space management means that everyone is within Kroya's surveillance range, and they can be found at any time, no matter where they go.

In addition, there is another crucial function—if a powerful being attempts to cross the Lake Gate, Kroya can destroy the corresponding spatial node, and the raging spatial power will bury that person.

"The people of Star Town."

He shook his head: "Star Town did send me an invitation, but I ignored it."

"I'm afraid they're finally planning to come and investigate in person."

"Don't worry about her. Our magic academy is for show, after all. Besides, if she can offer some advice, it would actually be a good thing."

Kroya stared at the woman, whose image was essentially 4K ultra-high definition, his gaze lingering for a moment on the Star Town emblem that she hadn't had time to hide.

That badge... is a ring.

It is nothing more than an endless ring composed of clear blue light.

No matter how you look at it, it seems somewhat similar to the original form of the Ring of Light.

……

the other side.

The great mage Evelyn, having stepped out of the Lake Gate, arrived at her first stop: the Earth Academy, which recruits the most students.

Logically speaking, a typical magic academy has an outrageous number of enrollment procedures, which can take up to half a month to complete completely.

But it's very simple here. You just need to register your identity information, take an elemental power test, and then get a random dormitory assignment. That's it for successful enrollment.

Lady Evelyn gazed at the majestic academy standing tall on the earth, feeling the overwhelmingly rich magical aura within, and pondered for a moment.

I don't think I brought my child with me...

If you don't bring students, you definitely won't be able to get in for a visit, which is obviously not acceptable.

She absolutely had to go in and take a look!

So she found a secluded spot with her head held high – the washroom.

After closing the door, he cast a spatial spell in the bathroom, summoning someone from his own laboratory in Star Town.

Well, of course, Kroya wouldn't be so heartless as to install surveillance equipment in the bathroom; if that were discovered, she would definitely be condemned.

However, basic magical monitoring facilities are still in place; they are hidden in the green plants placed in the corners, which are the transformed versions of the Woody Curved Vine.

The delicate white and green flowers grow tenaciously in the corner, adding a touch of green to the bathroom, purifying the environment, and incidentally monitoring changes in the magic.

This naturally transmitted the magical fluctuations to the tower spirit, and the woman's every move was under surveillance.

It shone with a deep blue magical light.

Soon, a handsome young man appeared in the restroom. As soon as he appeared, he looked at his mentor with a panicked expression.

His actions and demeanor were very respectful:

"Lady Evelyn!"

As he bowed, he caught a glimpse of his surroundings out of the corner of his eye, and he froze even more. This... isn't this the restroom?

Has the adults come up with some new way to play?

Did it come from the astral plane?

"Hmm, don't worry about it." Evelyn casually picked out a few clothes. "From now on, you'll call me Mother. Change your clothes now, and I'll take you to school."

Mother? Going to school?

Completely bewildered, the boy increasingly felt that his master was devising some new game. So he obediently changed out of his magnificent mage robes into noble attire.

During this time, Evelyn gazed at the boy's well-proportioned yet not thin body, her eyes lingering on the proudly erect, furry wolf ears on his head, and finally couldn't resist touching them.

She was quite satisfied with its soft and bouncy texture.

So, orcs are great, both their bodies and appearances suit her taste perfectly. She doesn't know what's wrong with those people in the Church, that they want to destroy orcs.

I've heard that this Lord of the Reef doesn't have a very good attitude towards the Holy See either, so it would be good to have more exchanges with him. It would be even better if I could rob a Holy See's party in a lower plane...

After thinking and grumbling to himself for a while, the boy changed his clothes.

To become her apprentice and male servant, one must naturally have an excellent figure and appearance. Now, dressed in aristocratic attire, he truly looks no different from an aristocrat.

Evelyn nodded in satisfaction: "Let's go."

She led the boy out of the restroom amidst the shocked gaze of a noblewoman who was about to enter.

The noblewoman: "..."

Although the elaborate games played among nobles were common knowledge, she was still somewhat shocked to see something like this for the first time.

Many nobles along the way noticed the boy's very distinctive wolf ears and were quite surprised.

Who is this lady from?

Can't they even try to hide the fact that they have illegitimate children?

Archmage Evelyn paid no attention to what these minor nobles thought of her, and swaggered towards the registration office with her "son".

"Hello."

Elena, sitting behind the window, looked at the newcomer. Her gaze froze for a moment, but she didn't care the next second.

So what if they're orcs? She's seen angels and gods before. Besides, the magic academy doesn't have any rule against outsiders entering.

Kroya has always treated everyone equally.

She looked at the newcomer.

"Hello, please help my son Rimbaud Samuel with his school enrollment. This is our enrollment fee."

Evelyn took out three thousand magic crystals—this was the cost of a noble's offspring enrolling in school and completing three years of basic education. If they wanted to pursue advanced studies or audit some special courses, they would need to pay extra.

"Okay." Elena quickly put away the magic crystals, wrote a few words on the magic board in her hand, and then pointed to the side: "Please have your son perform a basic magic check."

A perfectly regular magic circle made of lines appeared on the ground beside him, shaped like an egg, just big enough for Rimbaud Samuel to enter.

"Go on in." Evelyn watched her "son" go inside, then asked Elena with interest, "May I take a look at this magic circle?"

She could tell that the magic circle seemed to be designed in the style of a dragon egg, a design she had never seen before, and her curiosity was immediately piqued.

"Of course." Elena gestured for us to continue. "If you can provide us with some ideas, we have a reward for you."

award?

The great mage nodded indifferently, walked to the magic circle, and watched the flow of magic on its surface.

She put on a pair of glasses and carefully examined the eggshell that shimmered with magical light.

She quickly understood how this thing worked.

Based on her knowledge, it seems that the magical attributes and magical potential of a life form are thoroughly examined through magical runes similar to those on a dragon egg.

It's important to know that dragon eggs can provide magical energy to young dragons of different attributes, which is quite intelligent—this magic circle utilizes that.

Unfortunately, she could only see the surface magic runes; the deeper runes were hidden deep within a complex array of guards, so complex that it was comparable to the confidentiality agreement of the Holy Spring Merchant Guild.

The feeling of having something right in front of her but being unable to see it was incredibly agonizing for her.

Mages have an extremely strong desire for research and exploration, let alone such special magic runes that they have never seen before.

She resisted the urge to dismantle the magic circle and examine it closely, and asked Elena with a smile, "Do you... still accept teachers?"

The latter blinked, revealing just the right amount of surprise.

"..."

"Ms. Evelyn, we certainly need magic teachers, but you will need to pass the lord's interview first."

"If you need, I can help you submit your application."

Upon hearing this, the great mage nodded.

"I'll come back to see you after I've taken my son to see the college."

Anyway, she's going to see Chloe, so she can just tell him then. She's willing to forgo her salary and benefits, as long as she can study these magic runes.

"Okay." Elena nodded.

During their conversation, her "son's" test results also came back—

"The examinee is suitable to learn earth magic and lunar phase magic."

"The expected magical potential is excellent."

"You are permitted to study at the Earth Academy."

The egg-shaped magic circle automatically cracked and disappeared, allowing Rimbaud inside to emerge.

Elena quickly wrote out the admission notice and handed him a student ID: "After you enroll, please find a dormitory first, and then study the courses you like on your own."

The magic of the moon phases was taught by Prince Treden of the Merfolk.

Rimbaud was still a little taken aback, but he accepted the admission notice and thanked him, saying, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, welcome to the school."

As Elena's voice rang out, a portal to the side opened rapidly, revealing a beautiful campus scene through ripples on the water.

All the academies have taken precautions to protect their space, and the space defense system from the Ark can isolate all mages' teleportation to the greatest extent possible.

……

Upon arriving at the Earth Academy campus, Evelyn's first reaction was... the magical environment here is a bit too exaggerated, isn't it?

In reality, the Earth Academy was not built as uniquely as the other campuses because of the magic it taught and the need for farming.

As far as the eye can see, there are only lush green grass, energetic students, and various magical beasts and tree people running around the campus.

It was a rather ordinary scene, but it looked extremely harmonious, and even the magic field in the air was extremely stable.

This level of magic field is extremely rare, even in the Magic Plant Garden of Star Town.

"The earth is blessing this land."

"..."

Evelyn narrowed her eyes slightly, growing increasingly curious about this place. What was it that could make the earth so favored?

As she pondered, she led Rimbaud across the soft grass, feeling the warm sunshine and gentle breeze, their noses filled with the fragrance of grass and flowers.

Gradually, she suddenly felt her heart calm down completely, as if she instinctively didn't want to think about it anymore.

There's not so much intrigue and backstabbing here, nor the complicated research and work of Star Town. All she needs to do is stroll on the grass and enjoy the sunshine and freedom.

That was an experience I had a very, very long time ago.

At that time, she was still living in her mother's mage tower, free from worries and troubles. All she had to do every day was run freely in the pastures around the mage tower.

Although the energetic students coming and going around her didn't have much magic, and only one or two of them were just level one mages, she felt more at ease with them than with the old guys in Star Town who were level ten or higher.

Rimbaud, who was beside her, also found it very novel. None of the students passing by looked at him with curiosity; at most, they would just stare at his face for a few moments.

He seemed completely unconcerned about his furry wolf ears.

This made him feel very relaxed, and he gradually slowed down, following behind his "mother" and looking around curiously.

Just as the mother and son were enjoying a rare moment of happiness:

"Don't run!"

"My final project!"

A bloodcurdling scream came from not far away, and then Evelyn saw a sheep with a single horn running wildly toward her, with a student chasing after it.

The other students looked at him with pity, but had no intention of helping him at all; this was not something they could help with.

You could get hit and killed if you're not careful.

Final project?

Evelyn curiously reached out and easily grabbed the running sheep, her brow furrowing slightly... This sheep was quite strong; even she, a level ten mage, had to use some strength.

The students were stunned to see her effortlessly stop the unicorn with one hand—it was a level three magical beast, and one that was specially supplied to the Hanjiao Island Ranch!

Each one, when running at full speed, can generate an impact force of nearly three thousand kilograms, meaning it has a magical lock that prevents it from hitting people.

Just then, the male student finally ran over, panting, and thanked him, "Thank you!"

"If it weren't for you, I would definitely have failed my final assignment!"

He thanked them repeatedly, then stepped forward and put a collar around the unicorn's neck before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

"It's nothing," Evelyn said curiously. "When you said final assignment, did you mean this sheep?"

The male student was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly clapped his hands: "You must be the student's parent."

Evelyn nodded.

"Then it's not surprising."

"We have a special assignment at the end of the semester: to improve a magical beast or magical plant. If we can complete it, we will receive a generous scholarship and medal as a reward."

"What I'm researching now is how to improve the unicorn's wool so that it can produce more wool. I just fed it some leaves from the magic plant, and it probably didn't adapt well, so it ran away like crazy."

Upon hearing this, Evelyn glanced at the sheep and frowned, saying, "The unicorn sheep is a level three magical beast from the Orc Plains. Its main purpose is to serve as a mount. It is extremely strong and fearless."

The orcs had an army of unicorns.

But their wool is exceptionally stiff and unsuitable for use as yarn in textiles. Aren't you wasting resources like that?

She unconsciously adopted a tone that sounded like she was lecturing her students in the mage tower—this kind of research had no use other than proving her own abilities.

If there were such an apprentice in her mage tower, she would definitely scold him until he couldn't take care of himself.

To everyone's surprise, the boy's face lit up with delight upon hearing her words: "You must be a very knowledgeable mage. Actually, this is what I was thinking..."

Over the next few minutes, the boy talked at length about his ideas and even showed off his research findings—a tuft of wool.

Although this tuft of wool was extremely soft, it showed almost no reaction to the impact of magic or the slashing of swords, its strength being incredibly exaggerated.

Evelyn went from initial surprise to numbness and composure.

Okay, so this ordinary student is actually researching new materials? And he's even trying to get sheep to produce more wool from the very beginning.

If his idea succeeds, it will definitely provide another special material that is resistant to magic and physical attacks. Most importantly, it is also soft and comfortable. It is simply a genius idea.

"This is what we really need to learn."

"It seems this academy isn't just for those foolish noble children to gild their resumes."

She didn't hold back either, instructing her "son" to tell her what these unicorn sheep usually like to eat, and in what kind of magical environment they would mutate.

Her son, or rather, her apprentice, came from the wild grasslands of the orcs and knew the most about these things.

The boy listened and took notes, and finally looked at the much younger boy with an admiring gaze.

"Junior! Are you a new student? Let me take you to your dorm to register!"

Rimbaud glanced at his "mother" with some hesitation, but she immediately nodded: "Then go ahead. Do you have anything else to do? We'd like to visit the school."

"Of course not!" the boy immediately agreed.

He enthusiastically led his sheep and the mother and child to the dormitory building located on the north side of the college.

Evelyn blinked in surprise at the state of the dormitory building—

It is a giant magical plant.

The dense canopy and hanging aerial roots form the structure of each building, which is formed by a giant aerial root, and the buildings are connected by passageways.

The students walked through the passage between the aerial roots.

the most important is……

She felt the folding of space here.

This is a tree of space!

Is it that extravagant?

Thank you all for your monthly tickets and recommendation votes!
