Chapter 22 22. The Baron's Visit
Under the clear and translucent water, all the air corals began to gather together one bubble after another at the same time, and those tough bubbles merged one after another.
Soon the entire bottom of the lake was wrapped in bubbles.
However, the air corals still stayed in the water, and the bubbles seemed to avoid them consciously.
After witnessing all this, Croya suddenly became interested. After he cast a magic, he plunged directly into the water.
With the help of magic, swimming is still very simple as long as there is no danger of drowning, not to mention that he could swim before traveling through time.
Swimming slowly, he came to the front of the bubble and poked it gently with his finger. At first, there was resistance. But after his magic seeped out, his fingers immediately sank in, and then his entire body sank in.
I entered the bubble all of a sudden.
The tough bubble still did not burst, it just shook for a while and then returned to normal.
He fell from the outside and barely managed to stabilize his body.
My feet have already stepped into the thick mud at the bottom of the lake. The mud here is not very deep, otherwise my whole body will sink in.
“Oh, it’s so big.”
After entering the bubble like this, Croya intuitively felt how huge the bubble was. They covered the entire bottom of the lake. This lake was There’s half an acre!
And the height is also considerable, estimated to be at least four meters.
The transparent lake water is isolated from the outside by the bubbles, and the sunset is pouring down, which is really a magnificent beauty.
The most important thing is that the air inside the bubble is actually filled with an aura of magic, as if it is constantly being replenished with magic from the lake water and the ground.
Although it is far from comparable to his mansion room, it can still be regarded as a magic gathering circle.
"If this could be in the sea..."
He instantly thought of how to use this thing. If such bubbles could be formed in the sea, not only could the mineral veins on the seabed be mined, , and can also gradually expand through the infinite magic power in the sea water.
Even being able to form a submarine settlement in the end is not a problem.
When he followed the mermaid into the bottom of the sea, he had already felt the magic-filled mud on the bottom of the sea - it was what was left after the death of the magic plants and monsters.
There may be enough magic power in it to be able to condense magic crystals.
The bottom of the sea is simply a huge treasure!
Kloya walked at the bottom of the lake for a while to make sure that it would not feel cramped or depressing, and the fresh air was always flowing in his nose.
Obviously these air corals also breathe.
He decided to let the air coral grow well here first, and plant some water-attribute magic plants at the bottom of the lake. When they mature, they will be transplanted into the sea.
After making this decision, he got up and left.
I broke away from the bubble at the edge, and then swam towards the surface of the water.
The sky was already getting dark at this time. He first evaporated all the water vapor on his body through the instigation of magic power, and then walked towards the castle.
As a result, he ran into the knight Art who came to see him.
This sturdy knight wore a close-fitting leather armor with bulging muscles. He looked cold, but the silly smile on his face destroyed this coldness.
After seeing Croya, he said excitedly: "Lord Croya, the businessman named Sesu is here just now. He said he has a big business and wants to see you for an interview!"
< br>"What kind of business do you want to meet with me for?" Kroya frowned and said, "Rob asked you to come?"
Logically speaking, he has given full authority to Rob to handle all these trivial matters. I don’t want to meet some less important people.
It’s just a businessman. Now Croya has the goods, so there’s no need to rush to tell him anything.
To be honest, he was not very happy.
Don't bother him with such trivial matters. Art saw Croya's dissatisfaction and hurriedly knelt down and explained: "My lord, it's because a noble came with Sesu, Baron Kemoye from Hanhai County."
"Hanhai County...tsk, what attracted him here."
Cloya was a little irritated, but a nobleman came to the door in person, and no matter what was reasonable, he should be the one to receive it. .
After all, nobles with titles and ordinary people are completely different. The gap may be greater than the difference between humans and dogs.
He is actually a powerful person, so he has to do something to save himself. After all, he doesn’t know how long he will stay.
More or less, there is always contact.
“That’s all, I’ll go and see you.”
He shook his head and walked forward.
Art behind him breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got up from the ground to follow. He didn't know what was going on. He felt that Croya seemed to be putting more pressure on people today.
Even if Croya frowned, he felt frightened and had no intention of disobedience.
……
The reception room of the castle.
A rather plainly dressed young man stood.
Next to him was the businessman Seliu, standing respectfully, and behind him were several guards standing with their hands behind their backs.
The whole person's temperament is also very extraordinary.
There is a noble temperament of being a master in every gesture.
Butler Rob was standing not far away, his expression unchanged - he was Cloya, a mage's butler. Even a baron should give him a little respect.
If a first-level mage wants to, he can get the title of baron, which is basically equivalent to an equal relationship.
He is the face of Croya, he must be neither humble nor arrogant... Besides, before his family is ruined, a baron?
Not even his groom can compare.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit dull, which lasted until Cloya opened the door. Cloya, who was wearing a blue robe, had a calm expression.
The walking posture is extremely relaxed.
With a glance, he chuckled and said: "Baron Kemoye, you suddenly came to visit my territory without sending me any greetings or anything. It's really a bit presumptuous!"
It stands to reason that when nobles visit each other, they need to pay homage first, so that the person being visited can be prepared. Such a sudden arrival is actually very presumptuous.
He is a second-level mage and a lord appointed by the Mage Association. There is really no need to be friendly to him.
Baron Kemoyer also smiled back, and then bowed slightly: "It is indeed my presumption, and I ask for your forgiveness, Master Mage."
"Oh?"
A noble apologized in person like this, and even if Croya was dissatisfied, he could only calm down and ask Rob to bring tea and cakes.
Then he sat down first and said in a calm tone: "What's the matter with Baron coming here? I still have magic experiments, just tell me."
The Baron also sat down, and from the guards behind him He took out a box in his hand and handed it to Croya.
"Master Croya, I have ordered all your white iron ingots from Sesulius, and I am very surprised by your refining techniques.
If you can help me convert this To refine the metal, I’m willing to pay one gold coin per kilogram.”
Oh, this price is really not low.
Is it some kind of magic metal?
Croya frowned and opened the box. As soon as he opened it, his eyes were dazzled by the metal inside.
There was a hint of surprise on his expressionless face.
