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

Chapter 387. The dilapidated little boat of Kongyao lights up the sun.

"So you still brought him back."

The voice of the Ring of Radiance carried a hint of mockery: "Even in my database, the chosen ones of a plane are extremely rare."

"How exactly did this orphanage find so many chosen ones?"

The platinum halo left Kroa's head and floated above the boy sealed by the crystal pillar, transforming into Mia's appearance.

"You mean there's something going on here?"

Kroya immediately understood Mia's implication: "The Empress of the Empire, who could serve as Empress to two emperors, must not be a simple person. This orphanage produces a continuous stream of Law Fruits..."

"And why did He ask me to bring this child out when everyone else was raised in the orphanage and not even allowed to leave Abraham's Orphanage?"

Actually, upon closer examination, this matter does indeed have a lot of problems.

He even had the urge to throw this hot potato back—but Mia stopped him: "Cassandra genuinely wants to help you. I can read her mind. The queen has her own ideas, but none of that matters."

"The Starsea Empire is so vast, there are bound to be some things that happen."

"No matter what happens, the illusory god and I will protect you."

"Right now, all you should care about is what this little boy can do for you, and whether his rules are helpful to you."

Miya's domineering protection warmed Kroya's heart, so he didn't pay much attention to it and just thought about how to take care of the little boy.

or……

After thinking it over, he decided that he could entrust the guy to the care of the old people on Hanjiao Island. After all, they were absolutely loyal to him, and he wasn't afraid that the guy would be led astray.

He always felt that children who seemed fragile should not be raised with excessive care, otherwise they would inevitably develop psychological problems sooner or later. In other words, even for Kroya, the burden of a world was quite daunting.

After making this decision, he looked back and saw the orphanage receding into the distance through the tunnel: "I wonder what outcome King Atreus and Cassandra will reach... Hmm, teacher, will the magic still work?"

When Miya was mentioned, there was a rare hint of excitement in her voice.

"The Ship of Theseus, that is indeed a very special kind of miraculous magic. It should be able to repair the Sky Ark. I have collected some Gopher wood planks over this period of time. We can give it a try."

"If it proves feasible, you will be able to pilot this ark across the astral plane. With my power, there won't be any problems."

As He spoke, He took out a large pile of Gopher wood planks. Some of them were collected from a Gopher wood forest that Kroya had planted over a lot of magic crystals. Others were snatched from the gods by Eurydice over this period of time.

They were clearly impatient.

Coincidentally, Kroya was also a little impatient.

So the two hit it off immediately and started building the floating city.

According to the power setting of the Ship of Theseus's magic, the basic structure needs to be repaired first. This is the most basic replacement, as the outer planks are always the first parts of the ship to be damaged.

Kroya sat solemnly in the center of the magic circle, holding his Gopher wood harp with a serious expression. Two cornerstones on his chest shone with powerful magical light, and the Ring of Radiance floated behind his head. His Phoebus robes fluttered without wind, sparkling with starlight.

This is considered his strongest spellcasting form.

The wooden planks around him were enveloped in magic, and the extremely complex magical patterns condensed into physical forms in the air, beginning to be pieced together one by one.

"The most basic aspects of the Ark are its internal spatial structure and the ability to travel through the astral plane, as well as its ability to convert starlight into energy... Hmm, your mana is running out a bit too quickly."

Miya was helping Chloe organize this basic knowledge, but she was shocked to find that the latter's magic was evaporating at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye, like water being released from a dam.

Sweat dripped from Kroya's face, evaporating before it even hit the ground in the rising magical energy. His breathing was noticeably labored: "Huff... This spell requires a terrifying amount of energy and magic, and simulating the Ark makes it even more difficult."

"Shall we go back to Module 626 and continue?" Miya frowned deeply. "My physical body and your stored magic power are there, so it should go more smoothly. Forcibly consuming magic power like this will affect you."

"It's alright."

"Miracle magic is also very unfamiliar to me. It's already halfway activated. If I can complete it once, it will be a very rare experience."

After taking a deep breath, Kroya continued casting the spell.

This time, his magic poured down like the sky falling. The miracle spell "Ship of Theseus" was indeed in effect, but due to the limitations of his magic, in the end...

It's done.

But the shape of that "ark" is rather comical—

A wooden boat, about five or six meters long and three or four meters wide, which looked like a small fishing boat on the sea, sat there quietly, without any sails or anything, completely bare.

If you were to shrink it down, it would look like a toy boat that a novice craftsman could assemble by following a pattern.

"..."

"ark……"

Even Miya stammered for a moment.

This is at most the interior of a small wooden boat that resembles a child's toy at the beach. Not only does it have an expanded spatial structure, but it can also actually travel in the astral plane and even draw starlight as energy.

It is the basic "ark"—at least functionally speaking, it is.

"There's nothing I can do about it. I can only cast the spell for the Ship of Theseus up to this stage right now, but I should be able to ride it."

Kroya shrugged, then eagerly climbed onto the small boat, waving to the still-standing Ring of Radiance: "Come on over!"

"..."

The Ring of Radiance slowly drifted over, searching left and right but unable to find a place to accommodate it. In the end, Kroya casually took a leftover piece of wood, whittled it into a pillar, and erected it in the middle of the ship. The Ring of Radiance immediately transformed into a platinum lantern and hung on it.

"Connecting to the Ark's control system..."

"Processing the magic rune array..."

"Energy injection in progress..."

"Now prepare to bring the floating city into the Ark!"

As Miya's voice rang out, a small opening, barely large enough for one person to enter, immediately appeared at the bottom of the ship, continuously drawing in the surrounding floating city structure like a black hole.

Then the Ark was directly exposed in the Star Tunnel.

The light from the platinum lanterns was somewhat dim, forming a magical shield around the ship that could isolate everything, but it did not obstruct the view. The luxurious floating cities traveling through the tunnels and the starlight falling from the deeper sea of ​​stars could be clearly seen.

"It's beautiful."

Kroa blinked, casually drew a circle to summon the thirsty sea algae, and had them weave a blanket in the cabin before lying down on it.

He was enveloped in soft, warm blankets and pillows, his hands behind his head, enjoying the starlight around him and the beautiful Milky Way in the distance.

He could vaguely see the light of Eden and the constellation Lyra flashing, as if they were winking and greeting him.

"Teacher, I'm leaving it to you."

"You know the coordinates of Starry Sea Ranch from earlier, I'll take a nap."

He yawned, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

The lantern that Miya had transformed into swayed gently on the wooden pole disguised as a mast. People inside the ship could clearly see outside, but no matter what, they could not see inside.

The small wooden boat sails through the sea of ​​stars.

The starlight along the way was pushed aside by the small boat like ripples on water, leaving a long trail behind.

—The Ring of Radiance was quite moved. It had never had the chance to sail through the sea of ​​stars like this before, but now it had done it. Although it was just a… toy-like little boat, it was still quite interesting.

The two of them were quite used to this kind of flight, but the pilots of the floating cities and starships not far away were extremely shocked.

"What is it?"

"Can a small wooden boat really sail through the Starry Sea Tunnel?"

"Could it be some powerful, legendary mage having fun?"

The floating city and warships were eager to see what was on that small boat, but no matter what they tried to spy on it or physically shorten the distance, they couldn't catch up with the unremarkable little boat.

In the end, they could only watch as the small wooden boat disappeared into a sea of ​​stars rippling with waves.

……

Starry Sea Ranch.

Within the astral plane, there are many small spaces that have been discovered and buried in the starry sky to grow. The structures and laws within them have been modified for specific purposes.

Each of these dimensional spaces has its own independent spatial coordinates and a "key" to enter. For example, the small wooden boat Kongyao is now sailing into a pasture that once belonged to Abraham.

When the small wooden boat sailed into this place.

The spatial structure exhibited obvious fluctuations and ripples, and the entire space was plunged into darkness, devoid of any light, with only the faint glow of the Ring of Radiance lantern barely illuminating the surroundings.

"Um……"

"Have we arrived?"

After sleeping for a while, Kroya opened her eyes, straightened up and stretched, then looked around, the confusion in her eyes quickly fading away.

"Huh?"

"That's really impressive."

He noticed a spot, then reached out and threw out a huge orb of light, enough to illuminate the entire pasture. The bright light quickly swallowed the darkness, revealing something hidden within.

That was a "sun".

A black sun, already extinguished, resembling embers.

The sun was surrounded by numerous crystal obelisks and pipes, which at first glance looked like tombstones erected for the sun, and the whole world was filled with deathly silence.

Kroya stepped off the ark and onto the void, wanting to get closer to the sun, but ultimately succumbed to the pressure and did not get too close—this sun was not particularly huge, probably only about the size of the North, but it was still the sun.

He stood about ten thousand meters from the sun and said softly:

"This farm originally belonged to Abraham's Orphanage. It was a gift from the previous emperor to the empress. There is a celestial structure inside that resembles the sun."

"Its warm light nourishes everything on the farm, making it an extraordinary breeding ground."

"But unfortunately, this sun lacks fuel."

Fangzhou followed slowly behind, and Miya's voice came out: "Do you have any way to restore it? I also looked at the information Cassandra gave me earlier, and it didn't say how to revive the sun."

Kroa's lips curled up slightly.

"certainly."

"This sun is indeed dead now."

"But it's a magical plant, so it can definitely be resurrected."

The mage stood before the sun, a clear starlight shining in his eyes, the power of the Astral Spirit Inscription Technique activating—

【Icarus in Eternal Darkness - Experiment Number One】

The fruit, which originated from the divine tree that grew alongside the chosen one of the world's destruction, "Icarus," dimmed along with the chosen one's life.

It seems to lack the crucial element of "resurrection."

[The sun, after experiencing death, possesses even greater potential than before, and has a certain probability of resurrecting its chosen one.]

"teacher."

"I need your help. This place must belong entirely to me. Use your power to change the spatial laws and dimensional keys here. No one can spy on or monitor this place."

The light from the Ring of Radiance lantern gradually brightened in Chloe's voice, and the entire ark-like wooden boat shimmered slightly: "Of course."

One halo after another emerged from the light of the Ring of Radiance, gradually filtering out everything that might be hidden in this starry pasture. It is a treasure belonging to reality, and space is the foundation of reality.

Therefore, when it comes to space, there is absolutely nothing that can be hidden.

With the help of the Ring of Radiance, Chloe breathed a sigh of relief, drew a circle with her hand, and a grapevine that at first glance looked like a withered, gray vine popped out from it.

Those are the grapevines of the Demon Field!

It has already experienced a second death and rebirth in the underworld.

Please help me, my friend.

"Give this sun your power to resurrect."

Kroya patted the end of the grapevine.

The latter did not answer, but simply tried its best to extend its branches.

The withered and shriveled branches contained a vitality purified by death, as well as a powerful force of resurrection. They stretched out and slowly extended to the vicinity of the extinguished steel sun, entwining it around it.

Time passed second by second.

The sun, which was originally pitch black, suddenly shone with a faint golden-orange glow. Its cold, hard steel shell seemed to be melting and being pushed off by something.

Like shedding its dead shell, it slowly sheds its lifeless shell.

Inside, the "sun" itself was revealed, resembling an egg yolk, full of vitality, and pulsating like a jelly.

Intense, warm.

A terrifying "light," or rather a kind of radiation, burst forth from the yolk, directly enveloping Kroa, who was very close to it. Even with his abilities, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Then,

The radiant light illuminated the surrounding obelisks, and energy surged through the pipes, like a heart beating and regaining its vitality.

The light spell cast by Kroya had dimmed, but the ranch was gradually becoming brighter.

Vast swathes of steel structures swallowed by darkness slowly emerged.

As a result, the pasture was brought back to life.

It seems to have come back to life.

It is said to be because there is a persistent black spot in its core area.

It exuded an ominous and deathly aura that made Chloe feel somewhat fearful.

Thank you all for your monthly tickets and recommendation votes!
