Croyer, who had transmigrated to another world, unexpectedly acquired a golden finger—Star Spirit Engraving Technique.
With this ability, he could freely engrave any spell he had learned on...
Chapter 214214. Magic, transformation! (Part 1)
Without friends to chat and discuss with, Kloya did not return to his wizard tower immediately. Instead, he casually threw out a ring and let it float in the air, emitting bright but not dazzling light.
Then he opened the book "Miracle of the Earth: The Power of Harvest" given to him by Miffin, intending to study it directly tonight.
He knew that in the entire human magical heritage, when it came to farming, the Church of Mother Earth was the most skilled and proficient.
Of course, it doesn't mean that they are absolutely better than those mages who cultivate magical plants and monsters, but they are the most solid in basics.
For example, the magic field method that Croa learned at the beginning actually came from the magic of "Earth Mother's Whiskers" of the Church of Mother Earth.
So when he saw this book, he was quite happy and secretly looking forward to it.
"I don't know how much magic there is in this."
Kloya slowly turned to the first page, and after seeing the content clearly, his eyebrows raised instantly.
“Wow.”
He didn't expect that the content on the first page would give him a treasure, which was a magic to tame monsters, and its purpose was just to make the monsters obediently pull carts and transport harvested crops.
You know, the skills to tame monsters are very difficult to obtain, and being able to completely tame them like this is even rarer.
So in the end, it's just the Warcraft that's pulling the cart?
"Is the Church of the Earth really so generous?" He felt a little strange and read the magic carefully.
The expression on his face changed from surprise to realization and finally to speechlessness.
It turns out that although this magic can indeed quickly tame monsters, it requires the power of the Mother Goddess of the Earth, which means that one needs to believe in the gods and practice special meditation methods.
After realizing this, he burst out laughing.
"This Mifeiyin hasn't given up the idea of recruiting me."
Kloya couldn't help shaking his head, but immediately the corners of his mouth slightly raised and he spread out his palms.
In his palm, there was a platinum light flickering.
"But I don't lack divine power either."
He tried to construct the magic to tame the beast based on the sacred power he got from the mushrooms, and it turned out that there were no obstacles at all and it went smoothly.
In just a moment, an ear of wheat appeared in his hand, made entirely of magic power, but with a light platinum color.
It looks like a metal ear of wheat.
He shook the wheat ears, feeling the unusually stable magic power inside, and muttered to himself:
"I feel like this ability is very familiar. It seems to be somewhat similar to Hou Tushu's Earth Membrane. Could it be the same type?"
"As long as you feed this wheat ear to the monsters, you can tame them..."
This completely unfamiliar magic system was completely different from the sacred magic taught to him by the angels and was filled with a sense of the heaviness of the earth.
Even for him, it is impossible to study it thoroughly in a short period of time.
So he didn't think too much about it. After watching for a while, he continued to study the second kind of magic.
This book has only a dozen pages in total, and each page only contains one kind of magic. The handwriting is very small, and the illustrations seem to be hand-painted. It doesn't look like it is an authentic print from the Vatican.
Instead, it seems like someone copied it out secretly.
"Did Miffin secretly copy it? He wouldn't do such a thing, right? Or is there a brave man who dares to take advantage of the church?"
He was a little curious, but was soon attracted by the second kind of magic.
This is also a very special kind of magic, or skill, which can divide a strand of magic power evenly into multiple parts. In the Church of Mother Earth, it is used to give "spirituality" to magic plants.
"Tsk, another very useful technique."
Cloya, who has already mastered the Seven Stars Separation Technique, is extremely interested in this technique of separating magic power because it is a universal technique.
It is much more useful than the complicated magic that needs to be studied.
Moreover, although the Seven Stars Separation Technique is indeed very powerful, that ability is more inclined towards fusion, and the concept of separation is relatively less common.
Moreover, it is more suitable for attacking with powerful forces, and requires extremely high control of magic.
Even if Croa intended to pass this technique on to some apprentices he trusted, he would be powerless because this thing was not something that ordinary people could learn.
Until now, there hasn't even been a single apprentice who can meet the requirements to practice the Seven Stars Separation Technique.
In this regard, humans are not as good as magic plants. Magic plants' ability to control their own magic power is much stronger than that of humans.
Now that he has this magic, he can study it and then teach it to his apprentices. This way, it will be much easier to make magic tools and draw magic patterns.
If he can’t teach the original version to his apprentices, then he can at least teach the improved version, right?
"That's great, what's next?"
He got two usable spells right at the beginning, and it felt like he was digging for treasure for Kloya - and in fact, it was almost the same.
He continued reading with great interest and turned to the third page.
This page is a method for making a magic device.
"Magic Seeder?"
When he read out the name of the magic device, his eyes lit up.
ah?
This, the Church of Mother Earth has such a treasure?
Automatic seeder?
He read with great interest, and the more he read, the more satisfied he became, because this thing was exactly as he thought, a magical device that could designate the land for sowing.
There are still hand-drawn drawings on the pages of the book. The appearance of this magic device is a cow with only one leg and one horn. According to the data marked above, it should be three meters long, two meters high and two meters wide.
It has a box inside that can store seeds, magic scrolls, and vitality potions. As long as some data is input into its core circuit and magic core, it can sow seeds according to the instructions on it.
Depending on the vitality potions and scrolls in the boxes in the body grooves, it can also cast some simple magic, such as land adjustment, cloud magic, etc.
Seeing the end, Cloya couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
The value of this golem alone was beyond his expectations. With this blueprint, he should be able to improve his own golem after disassembling and studying it.
Because of the jewel raspberry fruit, he can even create golems with self-awareness, allowing him to sow seeds more conveniently and intelligently.
To be honest, the efficiency of golems is much higher than that of humans.
The only problem was the agreement between him and Mifeiyin that he could not give the blueprint directly to the apprentices for research. Although it was only a verbal agreement, he would do it since he had agreed.
But then again, just like the technique of dividing magic power equally, after he made inhumane modifications to it, it should not be considered as teaching it to his apprentice, right?
Croa stared at the blueprint and pondered for a while. With his current knowledge of golem research, it was not difficult for him to analyze it.
After all, the reference is the super golem that the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce gives to its members. In comparison, this golem is indeed a bit inferior.
After a brief study, he found that the structure of this thing was actually quite simple. The only real key was the core circuit and the special magic pattern that could expand and transform magic power.
The former represents intelligence, and the latter is a kind of magic amplifier that can release the magic stored in the scroll.
The rest is a very common structure.
"For this intelligence direction, we can use the Gem Raspberry and the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce's magic pattern and then merge them..."
He immediately began to make it the way he usually made golems, taking out the materials and starting to draw and assemble them.
The Clock Golem spits out Reef Alloy and Gem Raspberry in batches so that Cloa can use them at will.
The whole production process went quite smoothly. The cool breeze at night, bringing with it the fragrance of grass and trees, made him concentrate highly.
In about an hour, he assembled a golem that was completely different from the one in the book atlas.
A tiger.
It is only half a person's height and looks far less majestic than the Warcraft tiger. It looks more like a big orange cat than a tiger.
But there was a gleam of wisdom in its eyes, and it ran around happily, making "wooo wooo" sounds from time to time.
“You bastard…”
Just as Cloya was about to scold it, he suddenly felt something in his heart.
[Engraving successful, Croa-style seeding golem No. 1 (magic diffusion magic pattern, holy spring intelligent magic pattern and running spiritual magic pattern)]
[This monster has a magic pattern that spreads magic power engraved in its body. The scroll in its body can be spread through the magic pattern to cast spells. Depending on the range of the magic, the effect will be weakened. ]
“…”
“Is this true or false?”
Chloe was a little surprised.
This seemed to be the first time that a prompt of the Astral Body Imprinting Technique appeared after he created a golem. Even before that, when he created those living weapons that could fly and transform, there was no such prompt.
"Could it be that this thing can be identified as a monster, with life and consciousness?" He was really a little surprised.
But he soon calmed down.
Now that the change has occurred, he should consider the reason for the change, why the change occurred, and whether it can be replicated.
So he checked and recorded the magic patterns that he had carved with his own hands, and finally found that these magic patterns had shown signs of merging into one.
However, when he used the same method to create a golem again, there was no clue at all.
The golem just created seemed like a product of a sudden inspiration and could not be replicated.
"Ah, I didn't expect to come up with something that I can't mass-produce... I don't know what the logic of the Astral Body Imprinting Technique is to judge the monsters?"
He stroked the big cat's head, feeling a little lost.
This made him feel a little frustrated, but it didn't last long. He simply sent the new golem back to his apprentices for research and replication.
Perhaps the apprentices could give him some surprises?
…
After sending the golem away, he continued to look through the remaining magic.
The next three were all magics he had seen before, namely the cloud and rain magic, geological adjustment and magic root extension that Rhea had told him about.
He was not disappointed, but compared the magic described in the book in detail with the one Rhea gave him.
He was quite satisfied with the result—there was no difference at all, both the flow of magic power and the spell models were exactly the same.
After checking out these three spells, the next spell caught his interest again. This was also a spell that was helpful for farming.
It is called "Clear Spring Flow Technique".
The effect is that as long as a spell is cast on any newly opened ditch or stream, the magic within it will continue to work, preventing the water from drying up and allowing it to continue to circulate.
In fact, it is a little bit similar to the "water flow mechanism" made in the toilet made by Cloya.
They all allow water to circulate.
However, the more powerful aspect of this magic is that it can absorb free water molecules and magic power in the air to ensure that the river does not dry up.
It is equivalent to creating a river or a spring anywhere, without having to worry about whether there is groundwater or water veins to supply living water.
"It's an advanced version of water-making technique."
He thought this spell was quite useful. In fact, condensing clean water from the air was not a high-end operation, and there were many spells that could do that.
But think about it carefully, if this is performed at the seaside, can the pure water vapor in the air be directly turned into drinkable water?
As Hanjiao Island grew larger, the salt-making and water purification pools he had built became larger and larger, but there was still a shortage of supply, and the demand for purified water was growing.
Clearly, he needed to research better ways to get fresh water.
Now this is pretty good.
Compared to water-making technique, this is obviously more efficient.
If we expand our imagination further and engrave this into the bodies of certain plants, can we create a water pipe that can gather water on its own?
Thinking of this, his eyes lit up, and he ordered Muyao Quteng Wang: "Muyao, help me get a black bamboo with web roots."
"OK."
Mu Yao Qu Teng Wang moved very quickly and immediately picked up a somewhat strange bamboo shoot - the shoot was very small, but the roots underneath were extremely complicated, like a huge net, and had black bamboo nodes and a smooth shell.
At first glance, it looks like bamboo growing horizontally in the ground.
Although it looks only about one meter long overall, the roots are so dense that you can imagine what it will look like when it grows up.
Cloya recalled the scene he saw through the mushroom people at that time, and couldn't help but twitch his lips.
This strange magical plant was also discovered on a deserted island in the north. The most common plant growing on the island is bamboo shoots, which look small on the surface but actually have huge root systems.
To be honest, this kind of magical plant is really useless. He even thinks it is useless.
Although the roots that have grown into bamboos below are very strong, we cannot dig them up and use them as weapons. They cannot be eaten or used. They also need sufficient water to survive.
It can be said that the reason why the deserted island is so desolate is entirely because of it. It almost dives into the sea to absorb sea water for survival.
Later, they did research some methods of using it - the bamboos that transport water from the outside world are of this type, and in order to make them transport water, they even set up a magic circle.
Now we can further advance and turn it into an all-purpose tap water bamboo that can not only transport water but also produce clean water on its own.
"Let me tell you..."
He knew very well that this demonic plant was thirsty for water, so after he communicated with it with his consciousness, it immediately sent out spiritual fluctuations of desire.
"Water! Water! Water!"
There are no extra thoughts, just the desire for water.
This also means that Croa can start engraving.
Although he had just seen this kind of magic and was learning and engraving it at the same time, it was not difficult for him now and he finished it in just a few minutes.
Not only did I learn it, I also engraved it on my body.
[Engraving successful, Web Root Black Bamboo · Roots (Water Spring Flowing Technique · Magic Root Extension)]
[As the roots of this demonic plant grow, they will continue to gather the surrounding water vapor and turn it into clean water, which will then gather within its own roots.]
[The roots of this magic plant will be more sensitive to water and magic power, and their length will increase by 3 to 5 times. ]
[Due to its thirst for water, this magic plant has a certain chance of improving "Water Spring Flow" and "Magic Root Extension".]
After completing the engraving, Cloya could clearly feel water vapor flowing towards the web-root black bamboo, that is, those bamboo-shaped roots.
At the same time, its roots seemed to be craving for nutrients to grow, and the desire was several times stronger than before.
It is obvious that the magic root needs nutrient support to extend this magic.
In order to see results quickly, Cloya decided to let it grow here and observe if there were any unusual changes.
"Just grow here. Muyao, bring some nutrient soil over."
Cloya ordered Mu Yao Qu Teng Wang to get the prepared nutrient soil and then planted it.
Then he sat aside, drinking tea and carefully observing its changes.
It began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye in the soil mixed with magic fertilizer and growth-accelerating potion. Its roots became thicker and absorbed water...
In a short period of time, it had broken through the soil, and its dark bamboo roots grew out in all directions.
Cloya could clearly see clear streams of water flowing inside the bamboo joints. They were running continuously within the bamboo roots like living things.
He also tasted the water and it had no taste at all.
If there was one problem, it was that it absorbed moisture too quickly. Cloya could feel the air around him getting dry.
But it doesn't matter, it's not a big deal. There's nothing much at the seaside except a lot of water.
"good."
He nodded with satisfaction, "However, if you want to become a real water pipe, you need to put it in a place with sufficient water vapor.
I will also give you some canned knowledge so that you can grow into the shape of a water pipe..."
After noting down the areas that needed improvement, Cloya asked Mu Yao Qu Teng Wang to bring a few more black bamboos with web roots, and then began to transform them one by one.
At the same time, he began to design their network layout according to the map of Hanjiao Island and its surrounding areas in his memory.
This took him some time.
"Okay, take it."
After the transformation was completed, he instructed King Mu Yao Qu Teng to plant the bamboos at designated locations on Hanjiao Island and the surrounding Qi Coral Base according to the map he had drawn.
He stared at the flash of light that indicated the beginning of the teleportation of the Wood Star King, and muttered to himself, "If I'm not mistaken, there should be no shortage of fresh water, and the water supply network can be established."
He withdrew his gaze with anticipation, sat down and continued to read the book.
There have been several good magic spells. Are there any more to come?
“Shua…”
As soon as he calmed down and turned a page, he saw a hand-painted... sunflower pattern on it.
