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

Chapter 333. Another Kind of Moonlight, Moments of Laziness

This result is truly speechless; even the Ring of Radiance silently left Kroa's head and fell to the side.

Since He is no longer needed, He should leave as soon as possible. After all, the power of the Ring of Radiance is too great and can easily make people lazy. Even the sages on the Ark did not dare to use it too much.

It won't work unless one can truly achieve a dominant position through their own consciousness and suppress the computing power of the Ring of Radiance.

Kroya gazed at the starlight before him, observing carefully for a while. Only after confirming the condition and location of the five apprentices did he finally feel relieved.

Then, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He said in surprise, "According to the records left by the apprentices, the fungi here must have been used to wear down the endless 'blessings' of these starlight over such a long period of time."

What kind of things can be created by such a long blessing?

Upon hearing this, Miya's expression also turned serious. She came to Kroya's side and looked at the nebula floating in the latter's palm and the starlight around it. However, without Kroya's "vision," she could see very little.

"The City of Fungi is the gateway to this Radiant Paradise. Some things inside are incredibly adaptable. If we haven't discovered it... then it must be hidden within these starlight."

Kroya pondered, since it was hiding so that he couldn't see it, could he make it appear on its own?

As he thought this, he emitted an extremely friendly mental fluctuation, and soon after, an unusual fluctuation appeared in the starlight.

As if it couldn't wait to get close to Kroa, it flew out from the depths of the starlight and appeared before him in a flash. But after getting close, it seemed to be afraid, so it kept pulling itself back and forth, circling around, looking dazed.

It was a small, silver sphere.

Its surface is also mottled like a meteorite crater, and it cannot emit light on its own, but it can refract the sunlight emitted by Kroa.

It refracts a soft white light that is similar to the sun's light properties—similar to moonlight, but not exactly the same.

Its appearance and attributes immediately reminded Kroa of a celestial body he had once seen.

Moon?

Wait, this is a mushroom?

After a brief moment of surprise, the Protoss Imprint continued to function reliably as the Super Identification spell, revealing the internal structure and name of this peculiar fungus.

【Fear of the Stars (The Dark Side of the Stars)】

This magical plant, having been subjected to the constant impact of stardust and light, fears yet yearns to be near the star's light, thus enabling it to transform the star's radiance into a new power.

Under this radiant glow, the "Dark Side of the Stars" will form, possessing the following powers:

-

Moonlight Isolation: Within the influence range of this magical plant, controlled moonlight will be unable to penetrate.

-

Vitality Nourishment: Within the influence of this magical plant, some magical plants that do not like the sun but need sunlight can thrive.

-

Ultimate Adaptation: Demonic plants nourished by the light of this magical plant will possess special adaptive abilities, allowing them to grow in extreme environments.

"It really is the moon. I remember the moon in this world has the ability to emit light, and many rituals even require the moon's special magic."

Kroya carefully touched the "moon" with her finger. The moment she touched it, it quickly recoiled, then bumped into her fingertip, and then continued to recoil.

It feels quite soft, like touching jelly.

"Hmm?" He blinked, and this time his fingers were covered in a white glow. When he touched them gently, the white "moon" reflected a bright and soft light.

It truly flowed quietly like water—the intense white light of the sun, the soft silver light of the moon, and the surrounding undulating, clear blue radiance—the three colors of light appeared remarkably harmonious.

Miya, watching from the side, was quite surprised: "This is... a completely new kind of moonlight? Is it moonlight from the astral plane?"

"According to the Ark's database, some celestial structures can only emit light normally by refracting sunlight, but they require very special environments to be formed."

"It is said that this light is vastly different from the light refracted by the moon goddess on the continent of Zemuria where we are now; it is unrestrained and free light."

What He is saying now actually touches on the fundamental rules of the Zemurian continent. In a world so deeply influenced by the gods, all changes are related to the gods.

For example, the moon goddess who tried to obtain the light of the sun and transform her divine kingdom into the moon—these two are the most typical.

Theoretically speaking, the divine power of these two gods is definitely among the top of all gods, after all, they are related to celestial phenomena that all life needs.

But in reality... they only control a portion of the power; they are more like users than the sun and moon themselves.

Miya continued, "If you weren't still inside the magic circle isolating you from the outside world, you would probably have been punished by the Moon Goddess. Even if she has the best temper, she would be furious to see such a power that could overthrow her authority."

"Moreover, this has already changed the world's basic setting regarding moonlight, turning it into a subordinate force of sunlight, rather than an independent force."

To this, Kroya simply responded with a calm "Oh".

Ever since he learned that the Moon Goddess was, in a sense, merely a necessity for the birth of the Illusionary Treasure, he had become completely fearless.

—There's a treasure yet to be born over there, and I have a complete treasure by my side. Why should I be afraid of the other side? Besides, even the little prince of the merfolk was born under his light, so the merfolk won't do anything.

What he's thinking about now is how to make use of the moon.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly had a bold idea: "Teacher Miya, the consciousness inside this fungal city should have completely disappeared."

"Could I make this moon the god within, and have the apprentices assist it, becoming the rulers of this fungal city?"

"Give it a try." Miya yawned nonchalantly. "I found that shepherd for you before. He said that as long as you have the Golden Fleece, you can awaken some things."

The Golden Fleece is a great material, capable of weaving things with magical powers. I'll leave it to you. If necessary, it wouldn't be bad to ask Achilles for help.

He was happy to help.

After speaking, He waved His hand and opened a platinum-gold portal. Behind the rippling spatial waves, one could see an oak cabin and a beautiful flower garden located by the lake.

It's obvious they're leaving.

Kroa: "..."

What's making you so unambitious?

After hesitating for less than a fraction of a second, Chloe decisively put the matter aside and exclaimed, "I need to rest too!"

Then he took the initiative, pulling Miya through the spatial portal and leaving all the complicated matters to the tower spirit who was ready to take over.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Little Moon hid in Chloe's pocket and followed them out.

"..."

"Waaah."

The poor little shark had already received the data and provided some solutions while Kroya was doing the calculations, hoping that its occasionally lazy master would finish the task.

Unexpectedly, Kroya still dropped everything and went to play – as expected, but still a bit painful.

But there was no other way.

It can only silently clean up the mess left by its unreliable owner, while also planning to move up the time for the next trip—it doesn't want to work all the time!

……

Following Mia to the lakeside, Kroya took a deep breath of the cool lake air and looked at the sparkling lake surface, immediately feeling much more relaxed.

"Natural scenery is indeed the most captivating."

Anyway, the Tower Spirit will handle things over there. It will take some time for the apprentices to receive the blessing and reappear, so they might as well take a short rest.

He recently made a batch of pretty good magical items, which are perfect for playing with.

He casually picked up a stone from the lakeside, then threw it at an angle towards the water. The stone flew out quickly, splashing about three times on the lake before sinking to the bottom.

Miya blinked, picked up a stone, calculated for a moment, and then gently tossed it into the water. The stone bounced lightly on the surface, splashing water all the way before disappearing into the distance.

That's not the limit of stone, but the limit of vision.

Kroa: "..."

"Hmm? These gopher trees are growing quite well."

He glanced around and quickly arrived at the Gopher Wood Forest, which he had bought with magic crystals over the past few days.

He looked at the Gopherwood forest with a smile, making no mention of what had just happened.

Now, the number of trees here has grown from the initial three to more than forty.

The forty-odd Gopher trees here are practically a natural magic circle, gathering even more natural elements than his mage tower.

"Yes." Mia didn't expose Kroa, but just smiled and said, "When they grow up, I'll use their wood to build a small ark and travel to the star realm."

"In my inherited memories, there is the wonderful experience of the Sage Miya riding a small boat through the sea of ​​stars, feeling the rhythm of the starlight, and listening to the echoes of the stars..."

Before He could finish speaking, Chloe's eyes lit up: "Why don't we experience it now?"

The monk gazed at the lake and said, "I just made some really nice little props, which I can try out."

As he spoke, he took out a pair of gloves and some labeled crystal bottles from his custom-made pocket and neatly placed them aside.

After taking everything out, he handed Miya a pair of gloves and explained, "These gloves are woven from the fur of the Storm Duck from the atmospheric elemental plane, and can directly turn air into solid."

He reached out and grabbed a clump of air in front of him. The air, which should have been invisible and intangible, instantly turned into a round shape, like a child's playdough, after he grasped it.

The atmospheric elements flowing in the air were bound by the power of the Storm Duck, a special duck-like magical beast, and did not disperse.

Miya also grabbed a handful of air. "I remember these magical beasts. Their power shouldn't last that long, especially since this is just woven from their feather fragments."

"No ordinary magical beasts would have this," Kroya chuckled. "But this is a magical beast that I raised. You should know that this kind of magical beast has a very low ecological status in the atmospheric elemental plane."

After I helped them evolve, they were able to use this power to build nests in mid-air, amidst howling winds; the more atmospheric elements there were, the more stable they became.

He silently recited a spell, and with a flick of his finger, an incredibly clear image immediately appeared before him—a massive tornado storm in which countless ducks with blue feathers built their nests in the translucent wind, migrating with the movement of the tornado.

What was originally a deadly tornado has become the warmest and safest nest for them, allowing them to be protected from predators and harm from nature.

"I see." Miya said thoughtfully, "What an amazing way of evolution."

He then grabbed several wisps of air and pieced them together in front of him, forming a veritable "wall of air," before asking, "And then what?"

"Then..." Kroya walked to the lake while piecing together the air wall, quickly creating a small dock on the lake, and then took out a bottle containing what looked like black pills.

Mia watched Kroya's actions, curious but not asking anything. Her thirst for knowledge remained strong, but she wanted to patiently wait for the answer to be revealed.

That sense of satisfaction is much better than knowing everything and then looking at it.

Kroya glanced at Mia but offered no explanation.

He threw a pill directly into the dock. After the pill came into contact with the air in the dock, a small creature that looked like it was made of wind quickly hatched inside.

It took over the entire dock, picked up the gloves prepared by Kroya, and began working with extreme seriousness and precision—it quickly produced parts and planks, and then assembled them.

For these elemental beings, controlling the element that possesses them is as easy as controlling their own hands, and they can do it without any deviation.

Miya said, "What a clever wind spirit."

"This is a creation from the Valley of the Wind that the bard brought you. Even the King of Wind Elementals probably doesn't have many pure wind spirits like this."

Kroya smiled slightly: "This isn't a wind elemental spirit. Can you sense the elemental spirit within its body?"

Miya was uncharacteristically stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "This... it doesn't even possess elemental spirituality? How then does it perform such tedious and complex tasks?"

"It's a golem," Kroya explained. "This pill of mine is called the Golem Transformation Pill. It contains pre-programmed magic runes that can be activated by different elements to form a short-lived elemental golem."

"That doesn't make sense either. Elements don't have physical forms. Can you guarantee that the power will be the same every time... Hmm? So this is actually a complete set?" Miya finally realized.

"That's right!"

Kroya pulled out a huge, beautifully packaged box: "Here, this is my latest creation, the Common Elemental Golem Pill, and what it can do."

Once mass production is possible, I plan to introduce them into the lives of ordinary people, combining them with orbal devices to let people get used to the convenience brought by magic.

Miya curiously took the box and saw the words written on it: 【Elemental Golem Set – From decorating to unclogging drains, one-click use, even a fool can do it!】

There's also a brief explanation above, which basically means that the golems inside are programmed to change the structure of magic and then start working automatically.

It will automatically destroy itself after it is completed, leaving absolutely no trouble that needs to be resolved.

"..."

He felt that this was a bit too straightforward, but upon closer inspection, it didn't seem like a bad idea; for ordinary people, the simpler the better.

What magicians consider basic is extremely complex and sophisticated for ordinary people. It is very difficult to get ordinary people to adapt to magic.

He knew this was a way for Kroya to distribute orbal devices to ordinary people.

"I'll take a look at it in a bit."

So He simply compressed the huge box into a small platinum pearl and casually tossed it into his pocket.

The movements were very practiced, clearly not the first time he had done this.

"...This." Kroya ultimately didn't take it back. He had originally planned to keep it as a keepsake, as everything inside was made by him personally. However, since Miya wanted it, he would give it to her.

Even Miya wants it this way, doesn't that mean his idea is not bad?

After showing off his ingenious idea that he had borrowed, Chloe proudly took out more Golem Pills, threw them into the water, and then put all the powder from the bottles into the water as well.

"These dust particles are magical crystals of the water element. The ones I've placed here are special dust particles with starlight added as an attribute," he explained.

Before long, one water elemental after another emerged from the water, rapidly transforming the lake with their bodies—the originally clear lake water became deep, and the colors of starlight rippled in the water.

Soon the lake was filled with starlight water elements, and at a glance it looked like an incomparably clear sea of ​​stars, with a mysterious and profound deeper layer of starlight beneath the clear starlight.

Finally, tiny jellyfish emerged from the lake.

Their bodies are also made of starlight, drifting and wandering in all directions. The originally bright sunlight quickly dims after passing through their bodies, and is replaced by starlight.

The sheer number of jellyfish, blotting out the sky, is like stars flying into the heavens, refracting light of different colors and turning day into night.

But it was a magnificent night—

Stars formed from jellyfish hung high in the sky, their shimmering light reflected on the clear, deep lake. A small wind boat, created by a golem, carried Kroa and Mia into the lake without any wind.

Meanwhile, the little moon popped out of Chloe's pocket and flew merrily into the sky, chasing after the jellyfish.

The moon chases after the stars, making the already magnificent scenery even more extraordinary.

Kroya blinked: "It actually came out too... Well, whatever, I don't mind if it wants to be free."

In high spirits, Chloe continued to boast:

"Not bad, right?"

"These are the magical beasts I plan to use for environmental modification. They originate from a special type of jellyfish in the sea, capable of rapid division. They can even survive for a long time in the air until all their magical energy is exhausted."

Kroya boasted that these weren't created simply for amusement; they had practical applications, albeit with some adaptive changes made to suit his preferences.

As a powerful mage, he has the ability to satisfy some of his little quirks, and he will definitely do so.

"It's really beautiful."

Miya looked at the sky—although this scene was slightly different from the one recorded by the sage in her memory, the result was the same.

He suddenly became very curious: "What other props did you make? These wonderful inspirations are simply unbelievable."

"Of course there are more." Chloe smiled slightly, twirling the ivy on her wrist. "It's good to take a break once in a while."
