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

Chapter 56. The Demon Puppet Captures the Moon (Please continue reading)

The purchase of the Master-Servant Contract cost him ten magic crystals—and that was only because the Astral Crystal Turtle was a special case.

Otherwise, two or three pieces would be enough.

After purchasing the contract, he tried to buy information on the proposed magic tree, but ten magic crystals only bought him a thin booklet.

Many of them cost hundreds or even thousands of yuan, which makes my wallet feel empty just looking at them.

"It's so thin, I wonder how much information it can provide."

He sighed and opened the booklet to examine it carefully.

The text briefly introduces this peculiar magical plant—it needs to be irrigated with blood to grow, and the blood must be magical.

It requires a massive amount of demonic blood for irrigation every year.

However, if it grows for more than two years, it will start to shed its bark continuously. The shed bark is a very good material for making scrolls, and it is also a material for making some special puppets.

For example... the demon puppet.

This is generally considered to be one of the highest-level puppets.

Their appearance and even their bodies are completely identical to those of humanoid races, and they cannot be identified unless detected by special magic.

There are even legends of legendary demon puppets hiding in the human world.

At the same time, due to the special properties of this material.

Magic runes can be easily carved and engraved on the puppet's body, which naturally increases the puppet's combat power many times over, making it one of the best materials for making puppets.

Without a doubt, this is a very good thing.

Kroya was definitely tempted.

He put away the Holy Spring Crystal Card and the booklet, and decided to have Robert arrange for someone to follow the flock of crows to search for it and see if they could find it.

However, before that, we still need to solve the problem of the Astral Crystal Turtle.

Looking left and right, Kroya discovered that the tortoise had run to the side of the Woody Vine King.

It poked its head out, its eyes filled with doubt: "Old friend, how come you haven't changed at all after all these years?"

The Woody Vine King replied, "I remain within my old master's magic circle, so nothing will change... But you, who were once just a little turtle, are you still alive?"

The two men, one a vine and the other a tortoise, didn't seem to be catching up with old friends; instead, it sounded like they were subtly mocking each other, their words dripping with barbs.

"Cough cough."

He coughed softly, then beckoned to the crystal turtle: "Sign the contract first."

The latter quickly came over and skillfully left his blood and soul imprint on the contract, as if he had done it many times before.

Only after completing the contract did Kroya feel completely relieved.

He glanced at the Woody Vine King and the Astral Crystal Turtle, and asked, "You not only know each other, but you've met before?"

"Yes, Master," King Woody Vine replied. "His master, the Archmage Eurydice, once came to pay his respects to the legendary mage Ilister."

It even tried to eat my leaves before.

"..."

So that's what the grudge was about.

"Eurydice...that name sounds like a female mage," Chloe said curiously.

When I looked at that booklet back then, the personal pronouns were clearly the male "he," not the female. How come they've changed genders now?

"No, his name comes from the mother goddess of the Feathered People." The crystal turtle trembled slightly. "Although he is a descendant of the Feathered People from the upper plane, when he becomes ruthless, he is truly comparable to the demons and devils of the lower plane!"

"The Feathered People?"

Crystal Turtle immediately said, "Legend has it that they are a race born from the Earth Mother Goddess and the Sky God. They have wings and can soar in the sky, but they must build houses and nests on the ground."

Kroa, feeling that she had gained even more useless knowledge, nodded to indicate that she understood.

Although he was curious about these things, the important matter was more important—where exactly was the simulated magic tree that even the alchemy masters of the dwarves craved?

"Since you've already signed a contract with me, then start by doing things for me... Muyao, you'll be in charge of guarding it."

Tell me if it doesn't try to do its job.

After saying that, he gestured to King Muyao Quteng, who immediately notified Robert, who was outside. Robert arrived shortly afterward.

This time, Kroya didn't make Rob wait outside. Instead, he let him into his laboratory and gestured for King Mokuyoku to bring over a chair for him to sit down.

Rob was flattered by such treatment—since Kroya arrived, he had become more and more like a qualified mage lord, especially as his level increased and his authority grew stronger.

Even Rob, who always followed Kroa, sometimes felt a little afraid when he saw the former, which was unavoidable.

There is a thick barrier between the extraordinary and the ordinary.

Kroya smiled slightly: "I've been here for a few months now, Rob. You've done a lot for me. Thank you for your hard work."

Tomorrow I will give you a bottle of Morning Dew Potion and a bottle of Sea Spirit Coconut Potion. You must take good care of your health. You can consider delegating more matters to your subordinates.

"Thank you for your grace, my lord!"

Rob immediately got off the chair and knelt down to pay his respects. Kroya did not stop him and accepted the bow without hesitation.

That's just how things are in this world; it's common for subordinates to kneel and thank their lord for his favor.

He can give Rob some rewards or privileges, but the basic rules cannot be changed.

After he finished kneeling and bowing, Kroya continued, "Send someone to find out where those crows came from, and tell me immediately once you find them."

And this crystal turtle, take it into the white iron mine.

"Okay." Rob nodded, and only left with the crystal turtle after confirming that Chloe had no further instructions.

After watching him leave, Kroya looked at King Muyao: "Do you know what the Astral Council is?"

To be honest, he was still a little worried that the Archmage Eurydice might suddenly return, so he had to make sure that he was completely gone before he would open the secret chamber.

The Woody Vine King paused slightly, its vine body swaying as if waving its hand: "Grand Mage Ilister went to the Astral Council. Once you go to the Council, you can't return to your original world."

I don't know anything else.

"Oh." Kroya seemed to understand something, because with the contract in place, the Woody Vine King could not deceive him.

In other words, the other person has indeed left this world and cannot return. In that case, we can explore the secret room and see if we can dig a secret passage that leads directly to the bottom of the lake.

This way, it will be much easier to get in.

"It's a pity I don't know how to use spatial arrays yet, and I don't know if there are any spatial locking arrays or other restrictions inside... Otherwise, it would be great to just make an array so I can go in anytime."

With one worry temporarily put aside, Kroya got up, picked up the remaining bark from the simulated magic tree, and put it into the cabinet.

Then he patiently meditated and waited for night to come.

Tonight... he'll try to capture the power of that crescent-shaped fruit and see what's so special about it.
