I'm a mage, what's wrong with loving farming?

Chapter 171 171. Underground construction, the conception of the magic potion production line

In the midst of white snow.

Two carriages were coming from the distant capital.

The horses pulling the cart were filled with mechanical rhythm and the coldness of steel, and they continued to move forward steadily even in the midst of a snowstorm.

That is a golem horse, which is more clumsy than a monster, but it is one of the best mounts when facing harsh environments and weather.

The two carriages were engraved with the unique emblem of the Mage Association and... Archmage Celeste, which was a moon hidden under the sun.

As the Archmage of the Nolant Kingdom Mage Association, Celeste is only below the seventh-level Archmage, so her orders are of course absolute.

So Stein and his mentor Zel were directly packed up and locked up, and there was absolutely no way they could escape before arriving at Hanjiao Island.

Of course, this emblem only symbolizes Celeste's will. It can stop people but cannot stop external magic and bombardment.

The carriage moved forward steadily.

suddenly,

In the vast white sky, a black dot appeared. It was burning with flames and emitting a rich aroma, coming from the distant horizon.

It was flying quickly, but it seemed to sense something and rushed straight down, then hit the carriage hard and exploded.

"Boom!"

The remaining magic power and pea seeds inside burst out, and the resin covered the entire carriage. The poor carriage was sucked into the sudden explosion of magic power.

It even almost triggered a series of explosions in the internal space magic array.

The terrifying magic power swept over, and the two people in the carriage fainted instantly. After encountering this situation, the golem horse had no choice but to stop.

Its intelligence is clearly not enough to deal with this kind of thing.

Because the incident happened suddenly, even Estner did not expect that such a thing would appear in such a place.

He quickly jumped off another carriage, and after carefully observing the stopped carriage, his expression became more and more strange.

"Is this peas? And resin?"

Estner looked at the sky, then looked at the vast expanse of white snow around him. He really had no idea where the plane came from.

Could it be that when the magic plant was spraying seeds, it just happened to feel that there was plenty of magic power here?
Are these two people so unlucky?

Or……

"Is it Croa?"

It's no wonder that he was suspicious. There was only one wizard like Kloya in the entire North, and as far as he knew, his friend should have cultivated many special magic plants.

He glanced in the direction of Hanjiao Island and silently calculated that based on their speed, it would take about four days to arrive.

If he could hit the target so accurately in just two days and at a distance of several thousand kilometers, it seemed that his friend had really cultivated some incredible magic plants.

He ignored the two people who had fainted and directly started the golem horses, ordering them to follow his carriage and continue moving forward.

They were already outside the capital, and with Celeste's restrictions, there was no way these two could escape.

I feel dizzy.

……

the other side.

As time goes by.

Croix was also busy.

He was transplanting flame stumps, peas and scorch thorns, and setting up a circle of magic plant defense at the boundary between the inner and outer islands of Hanjiao Island.

And the Bamboo Knights of the Estella combination, who had already learned the Thorn Sword Technique and grafted the Thorns of Justice, were released into this forest.

This bamboo not only learned the Thorn Sword Technique, but Kroya also spent a lot of money to feed it the gold that the Golden Butterfly produced with great effort.

After being strengthened, the bamboo branches and leaves representing the sword and shield have shown signs of turning into gold.

The sharpness and sturdiness of swords and shields have been greatly improved.

It can be said that it can easily kill a third or fourth level wizard or knight - after all, this thing was made by Titans, and it was the angels who intended to expand Croa's combat power, so the strength is certainly not bad.

During the period when he continued to transform and transplant the magic plants.

The transformation of the islands has also been completed.

At this time, Hanjiao Island is no longer the messy and poor island it used to be. The entire island has been renovated through the hard work of the islanders.

Starting from the newly built and neat Hanjiao Wharf, the road is flat and wide. On both sides are various types of neatly trimmed plants, and at every corner there are vines of the Wood Yao Quteng King as a guide and monitor.

If you look down from the sky, every road is straight and regular to a degree that is almost obsessive-compulsive.

Apart from the wide roads, the rest of the area is overgrown with vegetation, making it almost impossible for humans to walk in the forest.

Without any traces of human beings, the world naturally becomes the domain of magical plants and magical beasts.

Various flowers and plants thrive on the roots of the grape vines, in a riot of colour.

You can also see some animals such as deer and rabbits running and playing inside - all thanks to the apprentices who have returned one after another.

Facts have proved that when humans want to capture magical beasts in groups, unless they are particularly advanced magical beasts, they cannot escape the fate of being captured.

Not to mention that they also have the Ice Rabbit and the Crow as spies, so it is easy for them to capture those monsters that are starving due to the wind and snow.

Anyway, according to what Kloya knew, they captured all the magical beasts and plants they saw on the road, including but not limited to wolves, bears, rabbits, deer...

Anyway, they brought back everything they saw.

Just like a dog bringing food home.

Croa was happy but also a little conflicted.

In order to arrange for these monsters to settle down on the island, Kloya really put in a lot of effort.

First of all, he had to consider the areas of the carnivorous beasts and the herbivorous beasts, and also consider whether these carnivorous beasts would harm the people on the island because of their violent temperaments.

It turned out that he was worrying too much.

Before he started dividing the area.

The Olive Elf ran around the island every day with those magic crystal white mice, followed by phantom feather cloud snakes, owls and groups of thirsty sea fluorescent algae.

Occasionally, the sunflower elves and the little lotus elves join in.

They spontaneously maintained order on the island and formed a "security team".

Whenever a monster wanted to attack humans, it would be immediately beaten up by the olive elves who descended from the sky and their companions.

The Warcraft is not a fool. After being beaten like this a few times, it will just run away with its tail between its legs when it sees people. Not only does it not dare to provoke, it is also afraid of being beaten up if it accidentally runs into someone.

The olive branch from which the olive tree was born represents "peace".

Its body is also filled with this kind of power, and what it hates most is conflict and chaos, so it is extremely keen on maintaining order and peace on the island.

Without any instructions from Cloya, he took action on his own.

As the island became more peaceful, its body was also growing rapidly, as if it was absorbing this power as its own nourishment.

Of course, Croa didn't know whether beating the other party up to calm them down... could be considered a peaceful way.

Anyway, it worked, so he didn't care too much about it.

Another thing worth mentioning here is the thirsty sea fluorescent algae.

After the salvage in the sea area of ​​the triple mineral vein, the number of thirsty sea fluorescent algae has become overwhelming. They are now mixed with the group of thirsty sea fluorescent algae that Kroya first engraved.

As one of the most adaptable algae, they even quickly learned to absorb the alien magic in the air without any guidance, and successfully leaped from marine creatures to amphibious creatures.

I just wander around the island every day.

After finishing his work, Cloya saw these algae and felt that it would be a waste of their abilities if he didn't engrave some spell on them.

Therefore, he bought a batch of "image crystals", engraved and installed them inside the astral bodies of these algae, and threw some of the algae into the sea to let them swim around on their own.

Then, at regular intervals, the image-retaining crystals in their bodies are retrieved from the roots of the Mu Yao Qu Teng King that extend to the bottom of the sea.

Then let the Shark Tower Spirit deal with it.

It is a patrolling surveillance system that densely covers the sea area around Hanjiao Island.

No matter what happens on the seabed, Kloya can detect it and be prepared to deal with it.

After taking care of these chores, Cloya was finally able to take a break.

So he came to the newly built "Aquarium" with great interest, intending to take a look around, and then go underground to see his "magic potion production line". ...

The so-called aquarium is actually a building filled with foggy sea and blue springs. It is a huge building 30 meters high and with a radius of 3 kilometers.

It has a rectangular shape and is made of a low-level, cheap magic material called "blue crystal magic stone".

This kind of blue crystal magic stone is a product of areas with abundant water elements. For the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce, this stuff is sold in tons, and you can even spend some money to have it cut for you.

Because it was extremely cheap, and because Croa was interested in building a huge building to satisfy his curiosity.

So in the end, a huge building was built, as if a piece of the blue sea was cut out and placed on the land.

At least in such a medieval environment, such a building is indeed very large.

In order to construct this building, Croa personally supervised the work and had the mage apprentices serve as civil workers to carry out reinforcement and stabilization work.

The result was... from the initial preparation for construction to the final completion, it took only three short days - this shows how terrifying the productivity of magic is.

If magicians were allowed to serve as infrastructure workers, the entire world would probably develop to another level.

Of course, it is because these mages were trained by Croa himself and have never seen the admiration for mages in the outside world that they are willing to be so obedient.

If you asked other mages to be construction workers, they would be giving you face if they didn't blow themselves up on the spot in front of you.

……

Standing in the azure oceanarium, what Croa saw were the fishes swimming happily.

There are not only common fish in the ocean like golden scale fish, golden beard dragon fish, rainbow fish, but also common freshwater fish like carp, sturgeon and catfish.

There are also decorations simulating the ocean around - coral-shaped lamps, a beach covered with white sand, swaying seaweed, and shells of various colors can be seen everywhere.

Except for the lamps, all these things were picked up by the children on the island at the beach or on the seabed with the sea dolphins, and laid out here spontaneously.

Croa was also happy to see this.

Long-term contact with Warcraft and staying in an environment filled with magic will make it possible for you to consider becoming a mage apprentice, a tamer, or even a druid in the future.

Hanjiao Island is his base, and he has enough time and patience to manage it well, which will bring him benefits and gains in the future.

He strolled in the aquarium, looking relaxed and at ease.

Sometimes fish would swim towards him, but he rejected them all. This wasn't an anime. There was so much smelly mucus on the fish, and he would definitely feel uncomfortable if he got stuck to them.

After walking around for a while, he thought it was quite beautiful here, but it was very strange. Why didn't these fish have any wishes or desires?
To this day, he has not transformed even a single fish. At most, he has transformed a sea clam. Don’t these fish have a desire to evolve?
He felt very strange and took the initiative to communicate with many fish, but he did not find any desire from them to accept transformation and evolution.

It seems that their biggest desire is to stay in such an environment and swim freely. Apart from that, they desire nothing else.

"..."

How should I put it? This is probably also a kind of desire.

Croa could only shake his head and leave.

He walked around the aquarium quickly, played with the mermaids and sea dolphins for a while, and then walked towards the bottom of the aquarium.

Since the ocean has to be put on hold temporarily, he must consider the development of his own Hanjiao Island, and the underground of Hanjiao Island is another focus of his development.

He used most of the income from the magic crystal mine and the water crystal ore to develop the underground of Hanjiao Island.

First, he planned to build some magic laboratories underground on Hanjiao Island to allow apprentices and magical beasts to refine potions and magical creations.

This requires an absolutely stable environment.

It's obviously not possible to do it on the seabed, as the magic is too chaotic. It's okay to build some basic factories, but the ones that really need fine processing should be done on the island.

Second.

He planned to install some magical creations under the island to see if he could make Hanjiao Island separate from the continental shelf and turn it into an island that could be controlled and moved at will.

Hanjiao Island is now fixed in one position, which is okay in the early stages, but if it gets too late, it might be a little dangerous.

Although it is still early for him now, he must plan ahead and make preparations, at least leaving enough space for the upgrading and transformation of Hanjiao Island.

From an island that can move on the sea to an island that can fly into the sky in the future, food must be eaten bite by bite, and of course the island must be built step by step.

Items and plans similar to this kind of island transformation are actually sold in the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce. The only authority that Kloya can get now is the basic plan.

That is, install some magic propulsion devices to ensure that the island can float on the sea, and then use the propulsion devices as power to move forward.

This requires that magic pipes be spread throughout the entire island, and Kloya is indeed curious about whether there is anything deep in the island.

In his initial suspicion, he had suspected that Hanjiao Island was the crashed Ark, which was why there were so many scattered items around it.

But after thinking about it, he felt that it was unlikely.

Because the great wizard Eurydice had stayed here for a long time. If it was really the Ark, he would definitely find it.

……

He came underground.

There is no one here to dig and construct.

In the future, this place will not only be a laboratory and potion workshop, but also a place to install island thrusters. He is absolutely unwilling to let people come to do the construction...

The excavation work was done by earthworms and sandworms - Croa bought several hundred more earthworms and had the original two mice train them.

The earthworm is a natural civil engineer. It knows how to dig a hole without causing it to collapse, even if the hole is expanded dozens of times.

So when Cloya came here, what he saw was a thief riding on a wind-eroded sandworm and holding a magic chain, ordering the sandworm to dig and expand the cave.

They divided the work and cooperated, digging and expanding at the same time, and soon dug a tunnel about five meters high that was large enough for two carriages to be parked side by side.

Stairs and steps were also created by wind-eroded sandworms that eroded the land and rocks.

There is an entrance and exit underground in the aquarium, and there is also an entrance and exit on the castle side.

The passages and rooms will be interconnected and will be spread all over the island.

Croa watched their progress for a while, and after confirming that they were well built and that he didn't need to worry about it, he stood up and walked towards the already built laboratory.

There is a little briskness and anticipation in the steps.

In that laboratory there was the Demon-killing Bottle-Headed Grass that he had carved.

There is only one magic bottlebrush growing in the laboratory built with magic crystal, which is the original magic bottlebrush.

When Cloya came in, it was stretching out its magic tentacles, putting the materials on the table into its bottle one by one, and then blending and stirring them.

Allow the original liquid of the potion to fully blend in the bottle.

A bottle of sea ganoderma potion was soon born in its magic bottle.

It used its tentacles to carefully tilt its magic bottle, pouring the blue potion into the crystal bottle, and finally capped and sealed it with magic.

When it is fully completed, it emits a consciousness of joy and elation.

He is obviously very satisfied with the job and enjoys it.

"It's just as I thought."

He nodded with satisfaction. The Seven Stars Separation Technique that he had cast for it was now being fully utilized by it.

It became its means of separating and fusing potion ingredients.

"Now I need you to create a spirit, so that you can control the other magic-fixing bottle grasses... Then my sea ganoderma potion production line will be complete."

Cloya took out the Fountain of Life that had not been used up at that time and walked over. He opened the bottle and poured a drop onto the Demon-killing Bottle Grass.

This drop of spring water full of vitality is soon absorbed by it, and the spirituality belonging to the spring of life will gradually transform its magic until it gives birth to spirituality.

After it is born with spirituality, he will move all the remaining Ganoderma lucidum here and build a sea ganoderma magic potion production line.

This is the first one, and it won’t be the only one.

Next, he plans to teach Kabamon how to forge iron and bees how to brew potions. These are hobbies and instincts for them, and they will definitely do them with more dedication than humans.

Just as Kroa was waiting for its spirituality to be born, the voice of King Mu Yao Qu Teng sounded a little excited.

"Master! I sense my fellow tribesmen. They are at the dock of Hanjiao Island! They are following Semir back!"

"Ok?"

Croix's eyes lit up.

This came just in time. He was worried that the Mu Yao Qu Teng King was not growing fast enough. It would be great if there were more.
