Chapter 213 213. The Magic System Called "Nature"
Snakes and squirrels, this was a combination that Cloa had never seen before.
In the embrace of the earth and blood, the Emerald Demon Snake gently wrapped its body around the somewhat dazed gray-tailed squirrel, spitting out its tongue slowly.
It raised its head and stared at the squirrel.
Although it is a cold-blooded animal, its eyes are filled with indescribable love.
It's almost drawing!
Croa: “…”
He wanted to escape, but he was also very curious about what could happen to the snake and the squirrel.
To be honest, the love in this guy's eyes was much more genuine than that of most of the actors in TV dramas he had seen in his previous life.
Now he was in a state of being a little toe-dipping but curious, so he continued to watch.
The emerald-colored magic snake slowly approached the squirrel and licked the squirrel's body with its tongue, wetting the squirrel's gray hair.
As an elemental monster, it certainly doesn't have saliva, so what it spits out is actually... the essence of elements.
It is equivalent to the original magic power.
As it continued to spit out the original magic power, its body continued to shrink. The magic power from the snake gradually wrapped around the squirrel and penetrated into its skin and flesh.
The squirrel certainly had thoughts and actions of rejection during this period, but every time the squirrel squeaked, the Emerald Demon Snake would firmly push away the squirrel's resisting claws with more gentle movements.
It is very patient, and like its snake ancestors, it can stay in the same place without moving for days and nights in order to hunt prey.
How could the poor squirrel withstand the scheming attack of the Emerald Demon Snake?
Soon it fell completely.
The snake wrapped itself tighter and tighter, its eyes becoming more and more attached, but its body was becoming smaller and shorter.
In the end, it turned into a small snake, no more than one centimeter long. It coiled around the squirrel's neck, licked the squirrel's nose with its tongue, and closed its eyes peacefully.
The squirrel blinked, looked at the little snake on its body with its small black eyes, and stroked the latter with its claws.
Its hair exuded an emerald-colored luster at this moment, but it only lasted for a moment before it recovered.
To be honest, this scene is a little inappropriate for children - because the Emerald Snake licked the squirrel almost all over - but it is also very pure, because it only expresses the emotion of love, and there are no... overly exaggerated scenes.
When Cloya saw this, the doubts in his heart were slightly relieved.
He asked the natural consciousness directly: "Actually, the one you favor is the Emerald Demonic Serpent, right?"
"Yes."
"It was taken care of by the squirrel, so it was willing to transfer its power to the latter. This is probably why I was able to build this wonder so quickly."
“You are very sharp and very smart.”
The flowing natural force did not seem to intend to hide anything, and requested: "Only you can make this place exist forever."
"Please protect them, and I will help you."
“…”
Croa sighed helplessly: "I think your emotions are too abundant."
He was indeed speechless. Just for a little snake, the snake was willing to agree to his conditions. Could it be that the love of nature for its pet was so exaggerated?
This time the natural consciousness did not answer.
The floating dust and the wind mixed with the scent of wheat blew across Cloya's chest. Next to the badge of the Tre River that he originally wore, there was a small badge of wheat planted in the valley.
This represents the recognition of the natural consciousness of the valley in Maigu.
He looked down at the badge on his chest.
"Does that mean I should collect all the natural emblems of the North?"
He originally thought that this badge was just a small gift, but now it seems that the power contained in this badge... is probably more than just a decoration.
Perhaps if we really collected all the badges from the entire North, some qualitative changes would occur.
After a brief thought, he collected his scattered thoughts and walked straight into the wheat field, where he saw a squirrel jumping around in the wheat field with a little snake on its back.
This guy didn't look lost or sad at all. He was collecting some fully grown wheat ears and feeding the elementalized wheat grains to the little snake on his shoulder.
It seemed to have done it quite skillfully, and the little snake was also quite skilled at eating, and could accurately swallow the grains of wheat thrown by the squirrel without even opening its eyes.
“Squeak!”
As Cloya approached, the squirrel's fluffy tail puffed up and made a snake-like sound, looking at him warily.
Just like... a mother animal protecting her cubs.
Of course, what it was protecting was the little snake on its shoulder.
“…”
"Calm down."
Croa stretched out his hand and sprinkled down three-color light. The warm and soft light quickly eliminated its vigilance.
It seemed to have suddenly come to its senses, and nimbly grabbed Cloya's robe with its claws, and climbed onto the latter's shoulders in a few seconds, squeaking loudly.
Tears welled up in its little eyes, and it rubbed its head against Cloya's cheek, which was completely different from its carefree behavior just now.
It seemed as if in an instant he went from being full of energy and fearless to being sentimental.
"Is your ability to suppress your emotions?"
"Don't worry, it just has less magic power." Croa comforted him, "Take good care of it, it will recover soon."
As he spoke, Croix stretched out his hand and performed the fortification technique.
The surrounding magic power and the land mixed with blood quickly took shape under his control and turned into a big tree made of a mixture of straw and soil.
Then, the deer delivered some rice grains into the big tree, and the task was completed.
Not only does the inside of the big tree have holes that can accommodate squirrels climbing up and down, but there is also plenty of food and clean water.
It's totally a mansion that belongs to squirrels.
After seeing the big tree, the squirrel immediately stopped being sentimental. It squeaked excitedly twice, jumped from Cloya's shoulder and jumped into the big tree.
It jumped around quickly inside and finally nestled in the warm and magical nest in the crown of the big tree. It hugged the little snake, covered its body with its tail, and fell asleep.
The troubles seemed to disappear again.
For a moment, even Kloya couldn't understand this emotion that came so suddenly and went away so quickly, it was really like the unpredictable wind.
"It's richer than human emotions."
Kloya shook his head, shifting his attention away from the squirrel and onto the field favored by nature.
As early as when the Beaver Dam was built, he was thinking that if the magic in the wonder could not be replicated, could not be improved and was controlled by people.
Then it would really just be a "spectacle".
That was why he worked so hard to push forward the second wonder - not only to make Miffy work for him willingly, but also to verify his own guess.
Now, it's time to verify.
"The art of making rice and the deer of tranquility."
"Just as I thought, their main structure is still the magic I engraved, but it has been improved a little by the power of nature."
He stared at the fields, his mind working rapidly like a computer, eliminating the spell models belonging to the two magics of Rice Making and Tranquil Deer.
He had engraved it himself, and he knew the locations of the two magic spell models by heart, so it was quite easy to remove them.
Of course, he did not forget to record the additional magic patterns, such as the natural and simple magic pattern that transformed the rice-making technique and the Deer of Tranquility.
It is very simple, but the extension and expansion of each line is very different from the magic system that Cloya learned.
Just...if human magic is one plus one equals two, then this is one plus one equals three.
If Kloya's guess is correct, it should be the core that maintains the entire wonder, that is, the embodiment of the effect of [Eternal Blood Covenant].
After discovering this, Cloya was extremely excited.
Because this means that he has cracked the spell model of the wonder, allowing the earth and natural consciousness to become his workers, transforming and mutating the original magic effects, and then turning them into his knowledge.
To be honest, this was similar to what he had tried before: engraving the magic into the magic plant, letting the magic plant grow, and letting the great power called nature transform the magic.
It's just that now the process is shortened and the direction of evolution can be specified.
Now he not only obtained the magic of Blood Covenant Eternity, but also the improved Rice Making Technique and Deer of Tranquility that were absolutely compatible with Blood Covenant Eternity.
All we need to do is study it and use magic power to replace the natural power that makes up the magic pattern. Then, through the magic pattern of Blood Covenant Eternity, we can create a wonder that does not require natural power to form.
A new kind of magic that can be controlled by him, the mage!
“…”
Chloë took a deep breath and suppressed his excited heart.
He couldn't help but marvel at the wonder and greatness of the power of nature, which could transform the effect of magic in just a short moment.
This attempt was considered a success.
Does that mean that in the construction of the next wonder, he can selectively let the workers, that is, the forces of nature, continue to transform some magic?
By going through this cycle, he will gain a lot of knowledge about a magic system called "Nature" that most magicians don't know.
Just then——
"Mother Goddess!"
Suddenly, a voice was heard from a distance. The voice came from far away and seemed to reach Kroya in an instant.
"You came so quickly, how come...?"
Kloya had no choice but to temporarily suppress his thoughts and look at the person who came.
The person who came was Miffin, who had changed into a coarse robe and had loose golden hair. He knelt down beside the magic blood wheat field and touched the ground with trembling hands.
His eyes, which were the color of harvest, were filled with joy and he prostrated himself.
The Son of the Harvest touched the earth directly with his whole body, allowing dust and blood to stain his body.
Cloya's mouth twitched slightly when he saw this.
He said that he couldn't understand the psychological activities of these believers. Isn't this really dirty?
…
Afterwards, Cloya finally persuaded Miffin to leave the wheat field and come to the nearby village to rest for a while.
As the location of the magical wonder that Croa was going to build, infrastructure had of course already been built - the area where the village was located had all been paved with a kind of cement-like floor tiles made from seabed algae.
This material is not only moisture-proof and waterproof, but also emits a special fragrance to repel mosquitoes, which is much more effective than any mosquito repellent.
You have to know that it is close to the sea, the weather is hot, and there are abundant water veins. These conditions combined... it is a mosquito-infested area.
The revival of magic power is also beneficial to the reproduction of mosquitoes, and they have become extremely rampant.
Before Cloya made up his mind to clean up this place, people didn't even dare to open the windows every night, for fear that insects would fly in and suck their blood.
That flower mosquito was really huge, with purple-red patterns on its body and a mouthpart that was a full ten centimeters long!
The buzzing sound was like a black storm.
Even Cloya got goose bumps when he saw them, and he bombarded the swarm of mosquitoes, turning them into a pile of ashes.
He felt that seeing such a group of mosquitoes brought him even greater emotional fluctuations than looking directly into the abyss in the deep sea.
And his move also brought rich rewards -
"It's Master Croix!"
The moment he walked into the village, the children who were playing immediately ran away and spread the news of his arrival throughout the village.
The village was instantly in an uproar.
All those who stayed at home, regardless of gender, age or status, came out to greet them and took out their most precious gifts - the adults took out pickled salted fish, and the children took out picked shells and pebbles.
They did not know the true strength of Croya. The villagers and farmers only knew that this was a new lord who not only would not impose high taxes on them, but also helped them get rid of mosquito harassment.
This may not sound like a big deal, it's just a mosquito.
But think about it, without the harassment of mosquitoes, you can open the windows at night and enjoy the natural breeze, that cool and comfortable feeling...
A good sleep can wipe away the fatigue of the day.
So they were very grateful to Cloea.
"Sir, this is the salted fish that I dried at home!"
"My Lord, this is the fresh fish I just caught!"
"My Lord, these are the shells and stones we picked up!"
People took their good things and rushed to present them to Cloya. The latter looked helpless, but did not scold them. He even seemed to be reluctant.
Miphiin couldn't help laughing when he saw Cloya being surrounded by farmers and villagers. He never expected that this powerful wizard would be in such an embarrassing situation.
A few minutes later, Cloya managed to persuade all the enthusiastic villagers to go back, and returned contentedly with a large pile of fish, shells and stones.
To be honest, this thing... he could have as much as he wanted, but the feeling of being offered something by others was really different.
He could clearly feel the emotional changes in the love for him, pure and intense.
As a human being, who doesn’t like the feeling of being respected and loved?
Of course, he would not take it for nothing. He would instruct his apprentices to speed up the infrastructure construction here.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh." Cloya smiled at Miffin while putting all the things into his space magic device.
The latter waved his hand, his eyes sparkling: "Friend, are you really not going to join the church? I rarely see a lord who is respected like this."
"No." Croix refused decisively.
"Oh, that's a pity."
Although his daily persuasion was fruitless, Mifeiyin was not disappointed. After all, it was just a casual question, and he knew that Cloya would not agree.
He followed Cloya into a house, sat down, and praised him: "Friend, you successfully planted wheat, and it's all magic wheat!"
"If you were a member of the church, this merit would be enough to allow you to walk smoothly on the path to Mother Goddess."
In response, Croa just smiled calmly and said bluntly: "I can do it. I knew it a long time ago."
The blond boy was slightly stunned, and looking at the obvious arrogance on the face of the young wizard in front of him, he couldn't help laughing.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
He laughed for a long time before he stopped, took out an exquisite wooden box from his ring, and pushed it in front of Cloya.
"My friend, this is my thank you gift to you."
"Thank you for spreading the light of the Mother Goddess to the earth."
"Please remember, this gift belongs only to you. If outsiders learn it... I will hunt them down personally."
This is really interesting.
Croix opened the box out of curiosity, and saw a thin booklet inside with the words "Miracle of the Earth·The Power of Harvest" written in large letters.
His pupils shrank slightly and he knew what it was - this was the alchemy of harvest, or farming, within the Church of Mother Earth!
In essence, it is the same as the "Miracle of Light" he got from Baron Kemoyer.
This kind of book is generally not leaked, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is the foundation of the church.
So he was surprised: "Can you really give it to me?"
Mifeiyin smiled slightly and said, "Of course, but it is only limited to you. Your apprentices cannot learn it."
Just because the apprentices cannot learn doesn't mean he won't engrave marks on the Warcraft and magical plants.
Since the other party said so, Kloya happily accepted the gift and planned to continue discussing issues about nature with Miffin.
But before he could ask, a wheat ear-shaped magic device on Miffin's body suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
Before Miffin could do anything, the voice of Knight Commander Bevocelis was heard from inside.
Although her voice was steady, one could still hear the urgency in it: "All the knights who entered the Yavana Holy Mine have lost contact, and the members of the Orpheus family have also disappeared."
"The archmage of the Orpheus family is on his way."
"The people from the Church of Light want me to attend a meeting. If I don't respond within three days..."
The Knight Commander did not say anything else.
But Mifeiyin's face turned bad in an instant.
The relationship between light and earth is actually not very good, if the heir of the Orpheus family really died.
Then the bishop, the person primarily responsible, is missing, and given the nature of the Church of Light, someone must be held accountable.
Without a doubt, it must be the Knight Commander.
Thinking of this, he stood up in a hurry, "Master Croa, I have something to take care of... Sorry."
"It's okay." Kloya nodded, "You can go and deal with it first. I'm also very interested in the situation over there. If you need my help, just ask."
"Thank you for your understanding." Mi Feiyin left in a hurry.
Only Cloya was left watching him leave before slowly picking up the cup to drink water.
Are you kidding? The person who signed the contract with him was the Knight Commander, and his shop is also taken care of by the Knight Commander. It is only right and reasonable for him to show some concern for him.
What’s more…
"The Orpheus family?"
He thought, this might be an opportunity.
I would like to thank Mr. Wen for the reward and all the other bosses for their monthly tickets and recommendation votes. I am very grateful!
