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

Chapter 319. Ark Garden, Elemental World Forest

"They acted so quickly! I was planning to use the power of the iris and the magic circle I had set up..."

Kroya looked at the curtain of sky and shook his head in disappointment.

In fact, he had considered the possibility of unexpected situations when he chose to forge in the sea. If such situations did occur, he would use his symphony magic circle, which had already spread across the land, to suppress them.

The magic runes of the iris combined with the powerful symphony magic circle are more than enough to conceal everything.

Unexpectedly, the mermaid's illusory god acted even faster than him, so he could only accept the kindness.

He looked at the piece of rainbow iron.

The good news is that the palm-sized iron block in front of him contains a power level far higher than that of the god-like Moss, making it undoubtedly a divine artifact.

The bad news is that its power is so great that even Kroa and the sunflowers and Kabamon who performed the blessing ceremony could not control it, and could only let it float there constantly changing colors.

That actually represents the chaotic magic within, which is constantly changing because it cannot be stabilized.

"Let's try it this way first."

He stared at the metal for a moment, then tried to use the Ark's sealing magic array to at least temporarily suppress its power before slowly adjusting and analyzing it.

As long as there is a small breakthrough, he can work with the tower spirit to create a "divine artifact analysis array".

As a result, the Radiant Ring Binding Array, which usually worked every time, failed. The platinum ring, made of the power of the Void as the casting material, was shattered by the rainbow halo as soon as it was formed.

A "ding" sounded.

The power of the Void was instantly burned away, leaving not even a trace of ash.

Yes, it's to shatter!

This immediately shocked Kroya, leaving her feeling somewhat at a loss.

"How is that possible?"

"You are something I created, something I cannot control..."

"Even the chain of events is out of control?"

His expression turned serious, and he simply put his mental energy into contact with the rainbow-like iron, and then felt that the magical properties inside were extremely complex.

Earth, ocean, water, vegetation, frost, storms...

He could find almost every special element in nature that he could perceive—the iridescent light only maintained the structure; the real power was the power of these natural elements.

That's why it can't be completely controlled by Kroa, because much of the magic inside is something Kroa has never encountered before.

If I had to put it in words, it's like a sun as its outer shell, filled with a mixture of magical iron containing countless magical powers. If he hadn't been one of its creators, he probably wouldn't even be able to get close to it.

For the first time, he felt utterly helpless.

It wasn't until Miya, realizing something was amiss, opened a spatial portal and arrived that the ancient treasure's face twitched a few times: "Where exactly did you find the Eye of Ternas?"

He never expected that while he was still making bracelets with Kreha, Kroya would actually find the Eye of Ternas and even use its power to create a divine artifact.

"Well..." Kroya recounted how he wanted to create the Noon Sun Iron, then asked Treden for help, and ended up pulling Sun Island out of the deep sea.

"...My friend, you're really lucky." Miya had no idea what to say, so she just circled the rainbow-colored iron block a few times and said, "The sun of nature."

"The sun cannot be contained."

He pondered the knowledge that had long been buried deep in his heart: "The Astral Ring of Creation uses a sun to supply energy, and the blueprints that guide and manage the energy of the sun were drawn by Mia, one of my creators."

A wise man once said that although the sun's light can encompass all things in the world, and everything can thrive under its light, it is ultimately not nature itself.

Or rather, it is actually a part of nature.

The iron you've created contains many essences from the earth and nature, refined by the Kaba Beast and fused together, and now you've unleashed them, creating a chaotic mess.

It seems I need to help you.

As He said this, He actually stretched out His hand, with a little excitement in His eyes—He really hadn't personally taken action in a long time, and He always felt a bit stiff from being idle.

Behind Him, the platinum wings slowly unfurled, each feather flowing with extremely complex magical patterns, flying out like extremely fine threads.

Miya slowly rose into the air, enveloped in this dazzling light.

His eyes were filled with the light of a halo of radiance.

Solemn voice:

"Everything of the sun will be bound."

"All that is bright will find its home."

"Everything that is good at changing will become fixed."

As His voice rang out, mysterious characters and magical patterns wrapped around the palm-sized rainbow-colored iron ingot, forming layer upon layer of constantly rotating rings that emitted light.

Kroya watched from the side. As a powerful mage, he could see a lot. Mia's spell this time had no power leakage at all. All the power was maintained on the ring seal.

It was as if he handled it with complete ease. This control over magic and familiarity with runes was something Kroa could never do. It was truly an eye-opener.

"So you really have to take action yourself?"

He asked curiously, "It seems to be the sealing array involving gods that you taught me. If I put in some effort, I should be able to do it, right?"

"No." Miya shook her head: "It was originally born from your magic and the magic of the Eye of Ternas. No matter how much you borrow the power of the Void, you can't avoid having your magic characteristics."

This tiny bit of magical property was enough to completely break the seal.

Many of the things you will face in the future possess extremely powerful spirituality. No matter how special your power is, you must be cautious.

Rarely receiving such strict instruction from Miya, Kroya immediately nodded: "I understand."

To be honest, he has been relying too much on the magic of "The Rainbow Poem" lately, which is a bit wrong. No matter how powerful the magic is, it can't really be omnipotent.

Considering that I'm already level eight, I'll be encountering even more unique beings, so I should definitely be more careful. Caution and composure are the most important things on the path of a mage.

He thought about it seriously for a while, then pointed to the piece of iron that had completely stabilized and looked like a rainbow: "Its power should be enough to contain multiple elemental forces."

I plan to use it to test my control over elemental forces, and also to create some different demons along the way.

Mia, of course, had no objections. She said, "I will stay here until you are completely finished... But what do you plan to do with the Eye of Ternas?"

This problem also gave Kroya a headache.

The Eye of Ternas is obviously very arrogant, and may even have some kind of obsession that can burn people. In addition, the enormous solar power within it is like an uncontrollable sun, which can easily hurt people.

If it were up to Kroya's original plan, he would definitely extract all of its solar power, thoroughly study its astral body runes, and finally raise it in the garden.

However, since Miya brought it up herself...

"Sigh, what do you suggest we do?" He decided to pass the buck to Miya: "It should be considered an old friend of yours, right?"

"..." Miya also felt a little embarrassed, which was rare for her. After thinking for a while, she suddenly thought of something and simply said, "Its power should be able to help me open the Ark Garden. Didn't you want to use this piece of iron to make the Solar Furnace? Why don't we make it inside the Ark Garden?"

Once inside, they immediately locked the Eye of Ternas inside the Ark Garden. Its power continuously burned the Moon Veil of the Void God, which would also help to break the seal on the Ark Garden sooner.

Ark Garden!

Kroya's eyes lit up: "Can we really go in?"

Some of the magical plants that come out of there are very special ones, like Knight Bamboo and Wishing Lotus. If he could go in and take a look, it would definitely be very inspiring and helpful to him.

"Of course. Your music and the gopher wood have been helping me more and more lately. Taking you inside for a while shouldn't be a problem."

"But before that, I want to thank my merman friends."

He stretched out his hand and waved it gently in front of him.

The mermaid prince and Treden were immediately summoned. When the former saw Mia, the muscles on his face twitched several times, and he respectfully lowered his head.

"Sage Miya, the consciousness of the Ark... how should I address you?"

Miya looked at the Mermaid Prince and smiled slightly, "I deliberately avoided meeting the Mermaids, but your Void God has indeed helped my apprentice a great deal."

So, are you now certain that Treden is the next king?

He seemed to be looking at the mermaid prince, but was actually asking a question to the vast ocean in the distance and the still-lingering moonlight curtain in the sky.

He is the Ring of Radiance, the core of the Ark that even the former King of Mermaids and the God of Mermaids had to bow down in reverence for. Although He has always been friendly to Kroa, friendliness cannot control the group of gods and powerful superhumans on the Ark.

Randy immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

If it were anyone else now, even a god standing in front of him, he would dare to stab them in the face with a trident—what do you mean by interfering with the merfolk's choice of king? Do you look down on us merfolk?

But Miya... he really didn't dare.

His angular face turned red from holding it in, but he still stammered and couldn't utter a single word, and even had the urge to jump into the sea and escape.

Fortunately, his embarrassment didn't last long—the ocean and the moonlight provided the answer: wisps of azure water and bright moonlight slowly intertwined and clung to Treden.

In the end, it was made up of a suit of armor that was almost like wearing nothing at all.

The armor only features solid ocean and moonlight radiance on the shoulders and chest; the arms and abdomen are mostly exposed, with only a few shimmering patterns at most.

If someone with a good physique wore this armor, it would probably look quite mysterious and cool, but it just looks a bit strange on Treden, who has a childlike build.

His aura suddenly became extremely sacred, and his face was filled with confusion, as if he were saying, "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"

It is estimated that no mermaid king could gain the approval of the moon and sea gods so easily.

However, this also means that the sea and the moonlight have acknowledged Treden's status. Even if the Mermaid King had a child now, no matter how much he loved him, he could not gain the approval of the moon and the sea.

Without the approval of the moon and the sea, the Mermaid King cannot secure his throne.

"..."

"what?"

Randy couldn't help but cover his face.

Alright, he's my nephew, after all, so choosing him is fine.

He never imagined that the Ark could influence the decisions of the Moon and the Sea God, nor did he expect that... the Ark would value his little nephew so much. All of this was related to Kroya.

Ark truly regarded Kroa as his apprentice and successor.

Miya smiled with satisfaction upon seeing the armor on Treden's body: "Only the King of Mermaids can accept this gift from me. Let's go."

He reached out and took Chloe and Treden by the hand, and then, along with the entire Sun Island, vanished into the sea in an instant. No matter how Randy searched, he could not find any trace of them.

Randy had no choice but to hurry to find his elder brother. He had a feeling that he and his nephew had pulled something incredible from the deep sea, and he needed his brother to know.

……

the other side.

Kroya, Mia, and Treden have arrived at a crystal forest.

All the crystal trees here display completely different colors: cyan winds, deep red fires, frigid ice, and heavy earth...

Almost every element can be found here; they all grow in this forest in the form of trees, freely radiating their elemental power.

Among the branches of these crystalline trees are well-hidden platinum channels, which serve as both constraints and tools for drawing upon the magic of these trees.

It certainly looks beautiful, but in reality...

"legend?"

Kroya was utterly shocked: "All the elemental crystal trees here are legendary level? Really?"

Miya glanced at the small sun, the Eye of Ternas, floating beside her, and nodded: "Every tree you see is actually an elemental plane, which we collected in the astral plane."

"They do not need to draw any power to continuously produce all the elemental magic required by the Ark, and each one of them has given birth to an elemental god."

He casually pointed to a small-looking ice elemental crystal tree next to him, "Look inside, take a closer look."

Kroya quickly went over to take a look and saw that there really was a vast ice sea, huge icebergs, and a storm of ice crystals rising wildly inside the tree—all of which were trapped inside this small tree, which was at most half a person tall.

It's almost like a miniature landscape he created.

If this small tree is so outrageous, the other big trees are even more outrageous. He even saw the shadow of a phoenix and a huge giant made of flames inside a fire element tree.

You can feel their terrifying magic even through the trees.

Trees like these are commonplace in this seemingly endless forest of elemental crystals, and are hardly noticeable.

To be honest, he was genuinely shocked.

Previously, mere verbal descriptions were insufficient to grasp just how powerful the Ark truly was; now, seeing it in this way provides a very clear picture.

"It's a pity you didn't fully master the World Compression Array, and the Space Warping Machine inside the Ark has also been lost, otherwise I could have brought out a few trees for you."

Miya didn't think there was anything wrong with it. This forest had already been cleared out, and those worlds with impure powers weren't even qualified to be turned into trees.

Countless elemental gods once wanted to move their worlds into the Ark, hoping to have a place under its protection.

"..." Kroa remained silent.

Once inside, Treden stood obediently beside Chloe, curiously looking around.

"You will inherit all of these things, and you will also be responsible for protecting the elemental deities who slumber within the trees," Miya sighed. "Their purity is a resource in the astral plane as well."

If they weren't inside the Ark, they would probably have been captured by powerful astral travelers and gods, becoming their food, and would never have survived.

He walked slowly forward, and the elemental crystal trees around him seemed to sense his arrival, as even the platinum pipes began to regain their luster.

The entire forest seemed to come alive all at once.

They swayed and joyfully poured their elemental power into the pipes, flowing slowly forward along Miya's steps, eventually converging into a huge instrument in the center of the forest.

It was an hourglass-shaped instrument. The power surging from each elemental crystal tree would form a crystal-clear grain of elemental sand inside, each grain being the essence of the world.

Miya stopped and looked at Chloe:

"My friend."

Kroa was still observing the enormous hourglass instrument when she saw Him like this and immediately remembered what had happened before, so she had no choice but to go over to Him.

"Sigh, here we go again."

So Miya easily branded a mark on his forehead:

"May you be able to drive the hourglass of elements."

With that kiss, the instructions on how to use the instrument called the "Elemental Hourglass" immediately flooded into Kroya's mind.

He had to admit that the extremely complex magic rune structure and control method did indeed require this method to understand quickly.

Because the essence of this thing is to use countless pre-set elemental world samples and, through countless complex magics, to select the most suitable solution.

No matter what it is, it can provide an optimal solution through element analysis.

Now, for Kroya to understand the rainbow iron in his hand, he needs to create a model using this instrument, first select a suitable solution to adapt to, and then turn the rainbow iron into a solar furnace.

The function of this instrument is simply outrageous. You know, it takes a lot of difficult trials for a mage to adapt to the elements, and this instrument just lays out all the elements for you.

He immediately decided to start experimenting, and then practice with a trident first.

Thank you all for your monthly tickets and recommendation votes!
