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

Chapter 300. A Friendship Portal That Ignores Space

The village chief and Jessica exchanged a glance, a look of shock flashing in each other's eyes, clearly having guessed something.

This must be a big shot from Hanjiao Island!

Perhaps it was even sent by Duke Hanjiao!

They both wisely kept quiet, instead settling down to observe with curiosity the strange monster that Kroya had trampled under his foot.

The monster's upper body was human-shaped, wearing a jacket that revealed human-like skin, and a headscarf wrapped around its head, somewhat similar to the attire of the people in the Gray Desert.

However, his lower body is in the form of gas, making him look like a ghost.

At first glance, it does indeed look like a ghost formed after a person dies.

But... if it really is a ghost, that would be truly bizarre.

The scorching and magically chaotic environment of the Gray Desert is simply not suitable for the existence of ghosts, spirits, and other undead creatures.

Moreover, the Astral Imprint Technique immediately gave this strange creature a name: Lamp Demon.

Its astral body structure is very strange, like it is made of amorphous smoke, changing every second, and there is also an extremely powerful force swirling around its body.

The source of that power was somewhat similar to the Illusionary Power that Kroa had previously encountered, except that its attributes and fluctuations were more active than those of the Illusionary Power.

Simply put, this thing is "imagined" by the power of Illusion.

"Don't want to talk? Weren't you happy just now?"

Kroya used a little force, but her tone remained gentle: "Mr. Lamp Demon, I know the principles of the Illusion Magic, so I can naturally destroy your core."

"If you don't want to go back to that boundless silver sea, I sincerely hope that you will cooperate."

The lamp demon, which had just appeared in reality, had never encountered anything like this before, and hesitated for only a fraction of a second before decisively backing down.

"Master..."

Just as it was about to explain, five children—three adults and two children—suddenly sprang out of the sandstorm beside it, each holding a piece of bone and shouting:

"Don't hurt it!"

"That's our friend!"

The village chief turned pale upon seeing this.

Although he had only been in this nameless village for a short time, he had already developed a fondness for it and took good care of the orphans who had lost their parents at a young age. Of course, he didn't want them to provoke this mysterious being.

So he gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, these children are a bit agitated, please don't mind them."

Do I look like some kind of domineering person?

Kroya glanced at him: "It's good to want to help a friend, but not everyone is as easy to talk to as I am."

He casually cast a spell, and several children who were running with the skeleton were immediately frozen in place. No matter how much they struggled or how red their faces turned, they could not break free.

At that moment, the children realized that even if they had some extraordinary encounters, they could not act recklessly in front of truly powerful individuals.

This is all thanks to Kroya. If it were a more evil superhuman, they would have died a very dignified death by now. This is saving them.

"Powerful mage, I have told you everything I know, please release these children."

The Lamp Demon couldn't hold back any longer and finally revealed everything.

It turns out that it is a special magical beast that lives in the lower layer of the gray desert. When it was still young, it was captured by the power of ivy. The vine told it that it could only leave the desert if it found someone who would be its true friend.

It searched and searched diligently until recently when it was summoned by a powerful force to a small village in the western border, where it played with these children.

Because it had been trapped for far too long, it went a little overboard with its play, even tainting the five children's homes with the aura of the Silver Sea, creating a long-distance teleportation portal.

"So it really is the Silver Sea. I thought it was just a legend about the mermaids, but it actually came out of my head," Kroya thought to himself.

The so-called Silver Sea is actually a deep world similar to the Ether Sea, and it is said that the things in it are formed by the magnificent imaginations of beings floating in the material world.

To put it simply: if a legend is passed down for a long time, it will become a real creature in the Silver Sea.

It is said that some powerful mythical creatures are able to break through the limitations of the Silver Sea and reach the boundaries of matter.

This is why some magical beasts or magical plants appear that are completely elusive.

Given that the lamp demon's explanation made sense, Kroya nodded and released it, then walked straight towards the green vines climbing the stone wall amidst a sandstorm.

Let's put the genie aside for now; it's not important. What's important is this ivy.

The green vines looked quite inconspicuous.

But as Kroya got closer, she felt an indescribable pressure. It climbed quietly on the wind-eroded stone wall, as if it had gone through a long period of time, and each leaf shone with a calm and ancient light.

Kroya hadn't seen such a magical plant in a long time; he usually dealt with ordinary magical plants that required his modification and human intervention.

Such pure power, with its exquisite internal magic patterns resembling a magnificent miracle created by nature.

As expected of the ivy of Dionysus, the god of wine.

Even if it's just a part of it, it's still so powerful and beautiful.

He wore a mesmerized expression; to him, the existence of this magical plant was far more alluring than a magic book.

Kroa was quite friendly towards this self-aware being, and simply pulled out a bottle of Sunshine Potion.

Flowing from the crystal-clear bottle is a mist of light like sunlight; that warm radiance, so different from the scorching environment, is the power that magical plants, apart from those with special attributes, love the most.

Without hesitation, he unleashed the Sunshine Potion, and the light mist landed on the ivy, immediately transmitting a comfortable mental fluctuation.

"A powerful mage."

After enjoying the potion, Ivy delivered a clear, melodious voice.

Like a carefree young man in the prime of his youth, but deep within his voice lies an undeniable air of aging.

This is what it means to be both young and old.

You have many good friends.

"I'm so happy for you that you've found friends in a world far from the stars."

It conveyed a kind of magic: "I want to see your friends, and then I'll agree to go back to your territory with you."

"Only your closest friends will be invited."

Magic gradually took shape before Kroa, and leaf-shaped light screens suddenly exploded, emanating an extremely powerful spatial aura.

It seems... to be a passageway in space.

The first to emerge was Miya, with a group of little elves perched on her shoulder. After stepping out, she glanced at the ivy and said, "This spatial anchor point is quite good; you can learn from it."

"???" Kroa exclaimed in surprise.

You were actually summoned? Really?

After Miya came out, Estner, Oak Tree, Mifein, Kemoye, Knight Theodore and others emerged one after another from the space tunnel.

They were all completely bewildered, staring at the swirling sand and dust around them, as if they were dreaming.

They were just busy with their own things, how did they suddenly get summoned here?

Kroya was also shocked. If you're talking about other people, at least they're still in this world. How come Theodore was summoned as well?

He's in the underworld, after all.

Just then, Ivy excitedly spoke up again:

"That's great! You have so many good friends!"

"To celebrate your rare encounter, I would like to invite you to a feast!"

It seemed very excited.

Without it making any move, the Lamp Demon, who had been hiding nearby, was quickly pulled over. With a bitter expression, it used its magic to conjure up a temple-like building with white pillars.

Inside the building, there were also fine wines and delicacies served in gold cups and gold tableware, emitting a fragrant aroma.

Then the shrunken genie pitifully said, "Please...please enjoy the delicious food. If you need anything, please feel free to call me."

It absolutely hated the ivy. Even if it came from the Silver Sea and could summon things, it shouldn't be exploited like this!

It will die without magic!

Everyone looked at each other.

"Wait!" Estner finally couldn't help but ask, "What on earth is going on?"

He was just working in his mage tower when he suddenly found himself here. The thought of all the things he hadn't had time to deal with made him want to bang his head against the ground.

Miffy was also conflicted. Just a moment ago, he was helping those refugees revive their crops and, incidentally, a few people. How did he suddenly end up here? Did the magic work?

Theodore was most conflicted. He had even arranged to go to the goddess of the underworld's ranch to catch demon sheep to weave armor. He wondered if the goddess would be shocked and driven crazy by his sudden disappearance.

Miya spoke up leisurely: "That's the power of ivy. Its power is friendship, the power of friendship that can transcend time and space."

"Don't worry about your affairs, time has stopped here now."

Before the ivy's magic is completely exhausted, your return to your respective places is but a fleeting moment of separation.

After hearing His explanation, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since they were already there, they might as well enjoy themselves. It was a rare opportunity to gather together.

Even for people who live relatively close by, getting together for drinks and conversation can be quite difficult.

"You are..." Theodore seemed to only notice Mia now, his surprise deepening.

"I am Chloe's mentor," Mia said.

Upon hearing that this powerful being, whose aura was impossible to detect, was Kroya's mentor, everyone present who did not recognize Him showed expressions of respect.

Estner, in particular, had long suspected that Kroya might have found a powerful mentor, and he hadn't expected that he actually did. Looking at the vast, void-like magical power emanating from this powerful being, could he be a legendary mage?

"Yes, he is my mentor." Chloe deliberately changed her form of address; if she had simply called him "He," half of the people present would probably have been shocked.

Hello!

"So you're Chloe's mentor!"

"You are truly a powerful mage!"

Theodore must have recognized Mia by this point, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he walked to the side and stood in front of Kemoye.

His eyes held the kindness of an elder as he patted the latter on the shoulder:

"I am proud of your achievements."

Komoye stared blankly at the handsome knight in front of him, and suddenly felt his eyes sting. Since his father's death, no elder had ever spoken to him in such a tone.

He is working hard, exchanging his sweat and blood for honor and future, but it would be a lie to say that he doesn't get tired.

But he had no one to complain to or confide in. No matter how bitter or tiring it was, he could only bear it all by himself, and when the night was deep and quiet, he would grieve alone in the vast Earl's mansion.

Theodore could see his sadness, of course, and immediately pulled him aside to talk. If he really cried like this in public, the Earl would lose all face.

The others also noticed them leaving, and to be honest, they were a little envious, since there aren't many opportunities to chat with ancestors like that.

After the two of them left, Kroya first made arrangements for the others, and then invited the rest of the people into the temple to talk.

The village chief and Jessica, along with a group of children, trembled as they watched these important figures enter the temple. They now truly knew who the young magician was.

So it was... Duke Han Reef!

……

Sitting inside the magnificent, golden temple.

Although they hadn't explicitly said they'd met, there was at least Chloe as a connection, so there was nothing awkward or embarrassing about it.

They first sampled the delicacies and wines, and you have to admit, they tasted really good. Coupled with the music automatically played by the gopher wood harp next to them, it instantly made them relax.

They also developed an interest in talking and chatting.

The first to speak was Estner, who looked at Milfein: "Your Highness Milfein, how is the situation outside?"

With a bitter expression, Mifein shook his head: "I have now reached the territory of the neighboring dwarves, and strangely enough... it seems that only the territories of the human kingdoms have suffered more from the disaster."

My dwarf friends helped me, but they can't interfere too much in human affairs.

Now that I've said this, who wouldn't understand what I mean?

The seven gods worshipped by the human kingdom are mainly practiced by the human race. Although the dwarves also worship Mother Earth, they are more inclined to worship the earth itself, which can be considered a primitive nature worship.

If you were to cause a disaster on someone else's territory for no reason, the dwarf gods would probably have to go to the Earth Mother with their hammers and demand an explanation.

"So this disaster really was caused by Mother Earth," Estner said with a serious expression.

"It's not just the Earth Mother," Kroya added from the side, "but also the Father of Light. If the disaster continues, these two gods will surely come to the rescue."

His words immediately drew the attention of the others, especially Mifein, the chosen one of the gods, who almost eagerly asked, "Are you sure? Is it really related to the Father of Light?"

Kroya nodded: "That's right."

Miffy slumped back into his chair. "I ran into a priest from the Church of Light a few days ago, and they helped me out a bit."

I saw that two of them had died while saving others, so I gave them two thorn branches.

Those two thorn branches possess my divine power; they can bring back the dead.

The crowd was still a little confused. This sounded pretty impressive, but why did you seem so upset?

Miya shook her head beside her: "The Church of Light has many war envoys who are plagued by death. I'm afraid the Church of Light deliberately tricked you out of those two branches."

"War messenger...you mean the Holy Spirit of the Church?" Estner gasped.

The Church of Light, which is almost the largest human power in the prime plane, certainly has some ways to preserve ancient heroes, who are known as "heroic spirits".

They cannot unleash their legendary power for long, but once they do, it's like a hero from the history of the Holy See reappearing—the Holy Son, the Holy Mother, the Lion's Fang…

In short, it has a wealth of legendary heritage.

This is also the deepest foundation of the Church of Light. Only the Holy Light of the Church of Light, derived from the holy light of the Lord of Light, can dispel the call of death and allow the heroic spirits to reside in the Prime Material Plane.

The thornwood of Milfein can bring the dead back to life, meaning it can resurrect two legendary holy spirits.

The Holy Spirit and a truly living hero are completely different concepts.

With two more legends who can move freely, it's no wonder that Mifein's expression was so unpleasant.

The alliance between the Church of the Earth Mother and the Church of Light, coupled with the addition of two ancient heroes, was enough to make Estner explode.

Even Kroa's expression wasn't good.

Although he wasn't afraid of legends, he didn't treat them like dirt either. With two more legends added to his list, his actions against the Holy See were about to come to an end.

Theodore walked in.

He happened to overhear the news and laughed nonchalantly, "Then why don't we just kill the two Holy Spirits?"

Everyone: "..."

Wait, are you sure you're not joking?

Besides Miya, who else here is confident they can defeat a legendary figure... Oh, maybe there's also Kroya.

The gray-haired knight sat down and explained, "I can receive the favor of the goddess of the underworld. With her power, I can harm even beings that have been resurrected from the dead."

If we plan carefully, it's not impossible to resolve these two legendary issues.

Those are ancient holy spirits! If we can eliminate them, our gains will be immense!

The more he talked about it, the more excited he became.

What's the point of causing trouble for the Ghost Dragon in the Underworld? Only by destroying the legend of the Holy See of Light can he truly vent his anger.

Moreover, isn't the Ring of Radiance of the Sky Ark here?

He glanced at Miya furtively, but the look in her eyes, which seemed to be both smiling and not smiling, sent chills down his spine, as if she had seen right through him.

"Go, go!"

It was at this moment that Ivy suddenly appeared: "Friends should go on adventures together! I can help you!"

It shook its body, scattering verdant leaves, and handed one to each person: "This contains my strength, and the strength my master once bestowed upon me. If you can complete this game of friendship, I will give you the wine He left behind!"

It seemed particularly eager for everyone present to complete this "game" together, and even specifically reminded them:

"Powerful mage, the two legends have arrived at the city in the Gray Desert. If you don't go to its aid, the city will be reduced to ruins!"

Thank you all for your monthly tickets and recommendation votes!
