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

Chapter 367. The Seven-Colored Energy Block

The goddess of the underworld, Kreha, glanced at the female mage beside her and smiled, "Is it my majesty or your infamous reputation that's to blame, Irisviel?"

The woman she called Illist had her arms exposed and wore a simple robe that looked like the standard uniform for someone just entering the mage tower.

But her tall figure and undeniable arrogance were still difficult to conceal even in simple clothes, and from the moment she appeared, she was far more dazzling than the goddess of the underworld, Kreha.

She raised her noble and dignified face, revealing the exquisitely sculpted features of an elf to the crowd. Her pointed ears twitched slightly, and she declared without hesitation, "Of course it's me."

The legendary mage's gaze swept over these legends of the underworld: "There are quite a few familiar faces. Sigh, when will you be able to break free from the shackles of the underworld and enter the astral plane?"

"I'm so tired of seeing your old faces in the underworld."

That's certainly going to stir up some hatred, but there's nothing we can do about it. Even legends are divided into different levels. Legends like these, who can only stay in the Underworld and can't enter the Astral Realm for long, can only be considered lower-middle level.

The truly powerful legends have long been exploring and roaming the astral plane.

The vast and boundless starry sky and the sea are the true destination.

The legends who were ridiculed by her could only dare to be angry but dare not speak out.

Fortunately, this legend's arrival wasn't just to mock them. She looked towards the glittering entrance to Eden, her gaze instantly becoming sharp and intense as she stared directly at Kroa, who had appeared there.

"I came to see my friend."

"My dear little mage."

"If you dare to cause trouble, I'll lock you up and beat you up."

The legends present naturally looked over as well. It must be said that Kroya was indeed outstanding. In their eyes, his figure and appearance were not very important, since he had plenty of magic to change himself. However, his sunny and mysterious harmonious temperament impressed them greatly.

Perhaps because they had been in the underworld for so long, when they suddenly saw such bright and sunny magic as Kroya, they even felt a little sting in their eyes, but they couldn't help but want to look at it a few more times.

"It's perfect."

Illist sighed, "No wonder the Ring of Radiance chose you, my dear little mage. The Ring of Radiance is originally a halo emanating from the sun, nourishing everything in reality, which is why it is the most precious treasure in reality."

—From the moment she uttered her first syllable, the surrounding light was obscured by her, transforming into a lush forest, with the morning mist filtering through the branches of towering oak trees, and the whole world filled with an indescribable, magnificent natural atmosphere.

And above this dense forest, there is a majestic figure bound by countless chains and towers, with vines and branches growing on his body; this whole place is His kingdom.

Carry a divine kingdom with you?

Kroya was truly amazed and had to exclaim, "You have imprisoned a god and can use His power anytime, anywhere. What terrifying spatial mastery!"

Ellist nodded matter-of-factly: "Of course, my teacher Mia taught me a lot of things, including spatial structures related to the Ark."

"But after my transformation, even teachers would be proud to see me."

She took a step forward and grasped Chloe's arm.

"If we're really talking about it, you should be considered my junior brother. You're almost a legend, right? What do you plan to use as the foundation for your legend?"

Kroya looked at the hand that was gripping her arm. She wasn't using any force; she just wanted to get closer. Kroya didn't sense any malice from her.

So he didn't resist and replied, "You know more than I do and have taken good care of me. I do have some doubts."

Can the sun serve as the foundation of a legend?

"The Rainbow Poem" is the power he studied most deeply. When it becomes legendary, the power undergoes a qualitative change and needs to be based on a law to build his own tower.

As the Ghost Lord said, he has too much power, while others only have one or two. But he has many choices, which makes things a bit complicated.

Ellist was prepared: "I myself have received a copy of the Poem of the Beginning. This kind of poetry is a tool used by the original creator to establish the basic rules for each plane."

However, they do not usually appear, because these melodies are only played when the Creator is disappointed with the world, thus removing the rules of the world and causing it to gradually collapse and be destroyed.

Do you know what the sun actually represents?

It is the vibrant life force, the fair gaze upon all things, and the order.

The sun's power is so great that it can suppress all chaos and stabilize everything under its light.

When the Rainbow Poem appears on the continent of Zemuria, right before you, the order representing the sun has already been replaced by another force.

Otherwise, it would have exploded long ago.

This was indeed information that Kroa did not know. It seemed that due to some kind of prohibition, the Ring of Radiance could not clearly disclose some things. Although he had some guesses, he could not be sure.

No wonder the God of Order in this world has changed; it turns out he's been chosen as a pillar to stabilize the world's laws.

Some questions were answered, but others arose immediately:

"So when the Father of Light played the Twilight, he was actually stripping away the rules of this world regarding the concept of 'twilight'... Then why could Dawn stop Twilight?"

According to you, since both movements have already been played, they should have been separated by now.

Illist pointed to the sky, which had somehow transformed into a magnificent starry expanse. "The Titans once erected a veil of stars over the continent of Zemuria to prevent certain events from occurring."

A world where the Primordial Poems can exist is never simple.

Kroa understood: "So there really is something stopping us. No wonder everyone says that you need the Titan Golem's help to leave this world..."

Then I have one last question.

"Were you really trained by Miya? That powerful figure who created the Sky Ark?"

"I thought you were going to ask your grandfather." Illist was slightly surprised, but still answered, "Well, Mia is indeed my teacher, and I was created by her."

A cute little mage, a warm sun.

What kind of body could, like the Creator, contain and play the primordial hymns?

She slowly took a step closer to Chloe, her emerald-clear eyes, characteristic of elves, fixed on him: "And what kind of powerful soul could wield magic that has approached legendary status in just a few decades?"

Facing her gaze.

Kroya smiled slightly: "Yes, of course only a strong person like me, a special person like me, will be favored by fate."

His smile was confident and radiant, his handsome face gleaming with a brilliant glow. Warm light seemed to emanate from every part of his body, making him appear carefree and unrestrained, completely free of confusion and worry.

Ultimately, strength is the deciding factor.

Now that he has taken the first step in his legendary journey, with the vast astral realm just around the corner, what is there to worry about?

Ellist looked at him, shook her head bitterly, and said, "Sigh, I kind of regret going against that goddess Venus. Her curse on me, the love of beautiful things..."

"My dear little mage, I almost tried to capture you."

The legendary mage's life was smooth sailing, more exaggerated than any legendary story, and more carefree and unrestrained than any wish-fulfillment novel, but now he feels that he is about to lose the most wonderful experience.

The sun is so close, yet impossible to catch.

"Thank you so much for your kindness."

Kroya was certain that she meant him no harm, so she smiled and thanked her sincerely, "You have answered many of my questions. Knowledge is a precious treasure, including your previous protection of me... How can I ever repay you?"

This time, I did get a lot of information from Ilister and also determined my path. The door to legend has been cracked open.

"You want to thank me?"

Some rather inappropriate things almost slipped out, but Illist suddenly swallowed them back down.

She thought that if her teacher were still alive, he would be angry to see her bullying her junior like this.

Thinking of the woman who had cared for her like a mother, she felt a rare pang of sadness and casually said, "You made some food with the sun ore, let me try some."

When you're in a bad mood, you need to eat something.

"……that's all?"

"that's all!"

Illist extended her hand.

With a sigh, Kroya took out a plate of colorful candies from his personal spatial equipment, which looked like candies made from the decomposition of a rainbow.

He didn't know why his solar iron could be broken down and used to make candy with sunlight, but the fact was there, leaving him somewhat helpless.

Illist was also quite surprised: "Candy?"

Among all foods produced after filtering solar energy, desserts are the most special category. Desserts inherently have a mood-enhancing effect, and solar energy amplifies this effect.

As far as Ilster knows, only a few factions possess the ability to convert solar energy into "desserts"—incidentally, these are things like pudding and cocoa.

Candy, sugar, this thing is quite special.

Illist once studied a small plane inhabitant who could live by eating sugar. In her opinion, if sugar had some magic, it would be a high-energy solid block.

So what's so special about these colorful candies?

She picked up an orange one and put it in her mouth to taste.

This is orange-flavored, its sweet and sour taste infused with the glow of sunshine. A gentle lick seems to release bursts of juice that fill your mouth, and all you can feel is the bright orange fruit under the sun, as if countless orange fruits are colliding and cheering...

"Hmm, what a unique flavor."

"What about this one?" She picked up another red one, but after putting it in her mouth, she paused for a moment because it was actually a spicy candy!

The pungent spiciness ran rampant in her mouth, like a blazing fire, but soon a calm yet undeniable sweetness covered the spiciness, like a tranquil night enveloping a blazing light.

It is fleeting, yet leaves a lingering and unforgettable impression.

Illist's eyes lit up instantly.

She sensed that these candies weren't just unique in taste, but also possessed an incredibly pure magic, purer than any solar food she had ever seen. If such food were to appear in the astral realm…

That will absolutely be snapped up!

Once they reach the Legendary and God levels, food provides less and less stimulation and enjoyment, but this doesn't mean they stop liking to eat. On the contrary, they become even more eager for the stimulation of food.

It is one of the most primal desires of life, as inseparable as sexual desire—most beings are happy to retain these desires to add a touch of brightness to their long lives.

It's said that eating candy can make people happy. After eating a few candies and experiencing the pleasant feeling brought by different colored candies, Illist decided to buy them from Chloe.

As a legendary mage, she naturally has subordinates, and she treats them quite well. She is protective of her subordinates and is willing to fight, which is more than half the standard for a legendary mage.

"You should have made a deal with little Irina by now, right?" Ilister said directly. "I have a good relationship with Dantalian, so let's transfer this deal from her to me."

What price did you set?

This isn't about seizing resources from her subordinates; it's just that she was the one who instructed Dantalian to help, and this contract would eventually be transferred to her side anyway, so since it just so happens that they've come across each other, she might as well do it together.

"...There is no price yet."

"You're the first person to have ever tasted this candy."

"Is it difficult for you to do?"

"Not really." Kroya thought about the exact energy consumption and said helplessly, "If I had to say, it would take the solar energy of a level 3 magic crystal to decompose into six candies of different colors like these."

If the energy content continues to increase, the taste and side effects should also improve.

This stuff really can't be mass-produced. So far, only sunflowers can separate and convert this energy. The oil produced by other sunflowers doesn't seem to be pure enough to be used in food.

Illist frowned and thought carefully for a moment: "The price should also be different depending on the flavor."

For example, this red one has a fiery, spicy flavor followed by a lingering sweetness. Its magical structure also possesses two different yet extremely harmonious abilities: stimulation and soothing…”

If it's a level three magic crystal, then let's just get a level four magic crystal.

Hmm... but we still don't have enough level four magic crystals, let's just auction them off.

At this point, she suddenly remembered something, looked up and asked, "Are you familiar with the Holy Spring Merchant Guild? I remember that the Holy Spring of Solon is going to open an auction house on the Ring of Creation."

Kroa blinked.

Solon's Holy Spring...

It seems to be someone I know.
