Chapter 17 17. Burning Sunflower
The construction of the Seven-Yao God's Law Array was not as easy as Croak imagined. Even if it was written very clearly on the parchment, it was extremely difficult for him.
The most troublesome point is the magic network of the magic circle.
According to what is said on the parchment:
After the magic circle is drawn, it needs to be activated with magic power in one go. There cannot be any stagnation or hesitation during this period, otherwise the rampant magic power will destroy the drawing. The formation of the magic circle.
It is a huge test for the total amount of magic power and mental strength.
This is simply an insurmountable gap for Croya, a first-level mage, and even having the Thirsty Sea Luminous Algae as a power bank is not enough.
The mental power is enough, but there is nothing we can do if the magic power is not enough.
He had nothing to do. He was already sure, but he could only build the general framework and was stuck at this step.
It’s so painful.
"That's it. I still have a special meditation method, which is different from ordinary mages. Wouldn't it be more troublesome if I didn't have the Red Song meditation method?" Croya frowned.
According to his speculation, he must be at least a second-level mage, and with the increase of the Red Song, he can barely meet the sufficient magic power requirements.
As for his current magic power accumulation, it will take about five or six days - it should have arrived by now. It's a pity that I have been immersed in the laboratory these days and reduced the number and time of meditation, so I am stuck here.
After thinking about this, he felt relieved.
It’s not that I won’t do it, but it’s just that I really can’t do it for the time being!
So he decided to take a vacation for himself - since the mermaid arrived, he has been staying in the castle for half a month.
Besides running between the laboratory and the bedroom every day, proper relaxation is still very important.
Let’s talk about it after we advance to level two mage.
So, he stretched and put down the magic paintbrush in his hand.
“Let’s go out for a walk.”
He chose to give himself a holiday and did not bring his staff. After leaving the laboratory, he first came to the sunflower field on the top of the castle.
I haven’t watched it for half a month, so I don’t know how the sunflowers are doing.
After half a month of growth, the size of the sunflower has not changed much, but the golden halo inside the seeds has become brighter and brighter.
Completely different from the first trace.
The whole sunflower seed has gradually been filled.
Chloë was suddenly ready to move and licked his lips.
"Is there any change in the taste? Let me have a taste..."
He couldn't help but picked another one and knocked it open. This time, the yang inside was revealed. The magic power of fire poured into his mouth.
The magic power is much more abundant than before.
“Now that we have magic power, let’s think about how to use it, right?”
He stared at the sunflower and cast a small spell called "Magic Draining". This spell is basically a magic spell that a mage uses on things like magic crystals to quickly replenish magic power.
The blue magic tentacles immediately wrapped around the sunflower, passed through the crystal-clear shell, and captured the golden magic power inside.
Then sucking the magic power inside like a straw, the tentacles passed the magic power back and injected it into Croya's body.
It does look a little shabby.
No way, sometimes the mage's incantation feels like a nagging hysteria, and some spells are even more weird.
Just like this, the feeling of absorbing magic power for Croya is quite refreshing, even more refreshing than eating sunflower seeds directly.
The wonderful feeling of magic power being injected directly into his body and rushing through his blood vessels really made him addicted - so he almost sucked the sunflower dry by accident.
When he finally came to his senses, the sunflower was already wilting, its original red petals were dull, and the sunflower seeds had become as clear as crystal.
He sucked all the Yang Yan magic power inside.
"..." He quickly dispersed the magic tentacles.
No wonder the Mage Association said that this kind of magic requires a strong-willed mage to control it, otherwise you may become addicted to magic.
That’s true.
Even Croya was briefly obsessed with it.
If it were mages who had never experienced good magic, it would be like a pervert meeting a beautiful woman.
“Hey, wait.”
“If I can absorb it through this method, can I use this method to instill magic power into the magic plant?”
When he became curious, he directly used his magic tentacles again, but this time he poured his own red magic power into the sunflower.
It stands to reason that red magic power is also the magic power that absorbs sunlight.
There should be no adverse reactions.
As a result, no adverse reactions occurred. Instead, the sunflower became excited. Its flower disc trembled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it felt joy and desire for this red magic.
Cloya looked at it like this and just let it go.
Anyway, a sunflower doesn’t require a lot of magic power, so he can still afford it.
However,
after absorbing enough magic power, the sunflower suddenly burned and turned into a torch directly from the flower plate to the trunk.
The blazing crimson flame made Croya couldn't help but take a few steps back and looked at it speechlessly.
"You, just such a little magic power spontaneously ignited?"
At this time, Croya was very regretful. If he had known better, he would not have tested like this. He only had twelve trees in total. Sunflower!
Just like that one tree died.
He felt very bitter in his heart, and he had to be careful not to affect other sunflowers with his flames.
But after it burned into ashes, Croya unexpectedly saw a ruby-like seed in the ashes.
It lay quietly in the ashes, shining with a crimson light, looking like a priceless fire ruby.
Inside it, Croya felt a very special vitality and magic power fluctuations that were exactly the same as his.
"A brand new magic plant seed?"
"Why didn't it work?"
He took the seed in his hand and looked at it carefully, but the star spirit body The engraving technique has never given out a prompt to be able to engrave - but this does not affect him from activating the astral body engraving technique.
Under the influence of the Astral Body Observation Technique, all the conditions inside the seed were revealed in front of Croya.
The red silk thread wrapped around the sunflower has turned red, and the inside of the sunflower is filled with translucent red magic patterns, which look somewhat similar to... tentacles.
"Is this mutated? No, how could it suddenly mutate like this?"
"Is it the function of my special magic power?"
Puzzled, Croya suppressed the idea of continuing to transform the sunflower and chose to plant the seed in the ground.
I don’t know exactly what the situation is now.
Only when it is fully grown can we understand what is going on.
“I hope it won’t be too troublesome to mutate.”
After planting the sunflowers, Croya inadvertently glanced into the distance, and suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a carriage heading towards The castle is coming.
"Carriage? Why didn't anyone notify me?"
He frowned, turned around and walked downstairs.
