Chapter 257 257. Starlight Field, Hanjiao Duke
In the military camp of the Dukes.
After Ian and Yasos separated, they tacitly put the potion given by Croa into the food of the two dukes' immediate retainers.
Thanks to the extreme shortage of food during this period, the food delivered now is basically not inspected. After all, even people can eat it when they are hungry.
Under such circumstances, their poisoning work was of course extremely smooth, and it can be said that they were very hearty.
But the personal menus of all the more important people have been poisoned - how dare the chefs disobey the wishes of the sons of two dukes?
After finishing the pleasant poisoning work.
Aasos held a tray filled with various animal offal, wearing loose clothes, and entered the room of his father, Duke Nar.
On the other side, the neatly dressed Ian also entered Duke Olivier's room holding a tray with exquisite pastries, milk tea and cut fruits.
The door was blocked by magic and closed completely.
Time passed slowly.
About half an hour later, the two sons of the Duke walked out of the room one after another. Among them, Ian's clothes were still neat, and his fingers were touching the ring on the other hand.
The clothes on Yasos' side were in tatters, and some obvious scars could be seen on the smooth skin, and there was an exquisite purse on the belt.
But both of them had smiles on their faces. Taking their respective trophies, they entered the rooms of their father's retainers one after another, and then entered the warehouse of the military camp. Two kittens got some exotic golden cherries in their hands.
They were like children picking delicious fruits. They visited the entire military camp tirelessly and arranged those golden cherries in every corner.
Then...
A blazing fire broke out in the military camp, accompanied by a booming explosion like thunder.
The two cats, a squirrel and a snake hiding in the corner were all amazed, watching the golden fire rising into the sky without blinking.
“This is the magic that the master studied from the book Mifein brought. It is said to be the golden holy fire only owned by the Holy See and the Holy Spirit Gods.”
Taling Gray Cat Popular Science : "This kind of flame will not disappear before the sun sets. It is definitely enough to turn the entire military camp into nothingness."
The Emerald Devil Snake straightened up and hissed out the letter, with a gloomy look in its eyes that was unique to snakes: "They have done too many evil things on this land!"
The squirrel also quite agreed: "Let them leave the north!"
As if to agree with the two little ones, the breeze was sweeping in gently, blowing into the military camp, making the fire even bigger.
The sunlight also became extraordinarily blazing, as if an eye was casting an angry gaze down, causing everything to be completely burned in its anger.
Outside of the flames, with the help of nature and magic plants, Robber, Lina and Kemoye have arrived here. Behind them are the mage knights and magic plants lined up.
Whether it is Nar Warcraft or those battle mages, if it is slightly restricted, it can be an excellent labor force.
So, they are destined to be unable to leave the northern border, and it is impossible for any of them to escape.
......
Cloa, who was far away on Hanjiao Island, was still studying the magic plant called the Star of Astraeus, but unexpectedly saw the burning plant. firelight.
Now the entire Northern Territory is within the scope of King Mu Yaoqu Teng's surveillance network. Of course, he has been paying attention there for a long time.
He was slightly surprised: "It's pretty fast."
"It seems I can wait to harvest my spoils."
After a brief surprise, he didn't care about it at all. Something happened.
He directly grabbed the little star that wanted to fly around, held it in the palm of his hand and observed it carefully.
Through the Star Spirit Body Imprinting Technique, we can see that its core is actually only about one-tenth of its original size, and is wrapped in something with a crystal texture.
Clear starlight shines through the crystal, illuminating the surroundings.
“This strange crystalline growth seems to be a natural magic amplifier, otherwise it would be impossible to make the starlight so bright.
Well... this can be studied.”
His fingers gently passed through the clear starlight like water, and the slender fingers with clear joints gradually became illusory in the blue.
The flesh and blood lost its meaning at this moment, leaving only a translucent blue color, like bones, but actually the shape of the fingers held up by the flow of magic power, and the perception of magic power instantly became extremely keen.
It's like a blessing has been bestowed upon me.
“Yo.”
Cloya shook his fingers and watched the smoke-like fingers swaying in the starlight. There was a subtle sense of sluggishness, as if he was drunk. It's like the control of the body has weakened.
Now his ability to control the body can be said to be extremely exaggerated. He can even interfere with the growth of hair, and the entire body's magic cycle is under his control.
It is quite interesting to be honest that a certain part of the body is "drunk" like this.
After shaking for a while, he squinted his eyes and felt the magic around him surging towards his fingers. The cool and refreshing feeling even gave him the urge to moan.
He no longer had any doubts, and sighed softly:
“It’s really walking in the astral world.”
“I didn’t expect that this kind of magic could be included, because Do the people from the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce want to make me addicted?"
"But it is really a precious gift."
He knew this kind of magic. It was first developed by the great magician of the elves, and its function was to relieve his addiction to magic.
But the essence of this thing is actually to minimize the presence of flesh and blood, so that one's soul and the magic power in the body can directly contact the magic power of the outside world under the amplification of starlight.
Although the absorption and perception of magic will become very keen, the problem is... it is very addictive.
Without the constraints of the body, allowing the soul and magic circulation to directly contact the outside world, although it will make the perception more acute, the price will be the creation of magic addiction.
However, in the world of mages, addiction to magic is not really a bad thing. There are too many mages who pursue the reality of magic.
Can you sharpen your sense of magic? Does meditation become faster?
In comparison, a small addiction to magic is nothing to a mage. As long as he can strengthen himself, addiction to magic is not a big deal.
So this gift is quite precious.
Chloë thought about how to use this gift.
Logically speaking, this kind of gift can be used to train one's subordinates, which is equivalent to opening a magic circle to accelerate meditation.
It seems that the original intention of the Solon Holy Spring was for him to use it to train his subordinates. It should know that he is a lord.
However, Croya did not intend to do this. He did not want his apprentices to become addicted to magic too early. It would be okay if they were allowed to adapt before entering the star realm in the future.
After a brief thought, he suddenly thought... whether he could use the starlight emitted by the Astraeus Star to transform the magic plant into a pure astral magic plant.
In the star realm, everywhere is filled with this kind of magic. Those magic plants and monsters live in such an environment, becoming extremely strange and special.
In a sense, the environment in the star realm is actually extremely stable.
Especially after being illuminated by this starlight, he could feel that the magic around him was completely suppressed by some kind of force.
Thinking of this, he did not do it immediately, but first sent a message to Estner, the Mage Association in the royal capital, asking him to help him solve the follow-up trivial matters of this war.
Since the two dukes are dead, what they want to get next is indispensable, and the title is also indispensable.
After sending the message, he stood up and quickly entered a room on the highest floor of the mage tower.
Today, the Orpheus Oak has grown extremely huge, and even his mage tower has become huge. Although it is not as good as the towers specially built by the Mage Association for those sixth-level mages, it is not much worse.
In this layer, he cultivated a special magic plant. What was engraved on these magic plants was the magic coordination he learned from Dragon Nest and the space folding array magic taught by Angel.
It can be regarded as a test field. It would be best if these magic plants can be gradually perfected during the growth process. If they cannot be perfected, he can also observe the changes in the magic power of the space.
"Tower spirit..."
After he said it habitually, he thought that his tower spirit went to play with Mu Yaoqu Vine King, so he had no choice but to retrieve the data by himself. .
My fingers clicked a few times on the spar plate standing on the outside of the field, and the current data was immediately displayed on it——
[Current growth progress of Kong Yao Tulip: 8%]< br>
[Current space stability: 3%]
Well, terrible data.
“It’s so miserable.”
After taking one look, Croya couldn’t help but rub his eyebrows. He suddenly felt that he wanted to rely on tulips to refine the power of the sky into something that could Stably controlled space energy is a bit wishful thinking.
"Alas, there is no other way. The only space magic plant I can get right now is you." He sighed deeply, holding the Star of Astraeus and walking into the plant that was growing translucent and showing a kind of crystal. Inside the field of white tulips.
The buds of these tulip flowers are all tightly closed, but the inside can be seen through the petals, which is wrapped with a small fragment of sky crystal and some clear liquid.
There are some extremely small magic lines on the inner wall of the petals, which are constantly exuding subtle magic power that cannot be detected, gradually transforming the fragments of sky light and white magic liquid inside.
[Kong Yao Tulip (Cloya's imperfect space stabilization array and magic transformation ritual)]
[During the growth process of this magic plant, there is a very small probability of damaging the space inside. Crystal fragments and white space magic fluid penetrate and fuse. 】
【The current magic engraving has not been completed, and it needs to be continued to be imprinted and perfected or to wait for the magic plant to grow on its own, with a very small probability of being perfected. 】
This is the first time Croya has seen the Celestial Spirit Body Engraving Technique describing the magic pattern engraved inside the magic plant with a "very small probability". In this case, trying to perfect it is basically like praying for some angel sisters to descend on the roadside.
——Angels are asexual.
It is better to expect to learn this quickly than to expect to learn it quickly, or to only use some external intervention.
After observing for a while, he simply chose to ignore it, then dug into a pocket on the belly of his robe and took out a lot of astral crystals.
This lot of crystals are produced by the astral crystal turtle. After that guy got his wife, he wanted to have a baby turtle, so he transformed a magic crystal vein into a turtle nest.
So Croya unceremoniously mined crystals from it, and worked hard to replace some of his important facilities and experimental equipment with astral crystal level.
After taking out enough materials, he began to build independent small rooms one by one, completely covering a few individual Skylight tulips, and then created magic transmission channels, water purification and soil and air stabilization magic patterns... …
After a lot of work, he built a single room for ten Kongyao tulips, which contained a series of magic patterns for life support, monitoring and regulation.
After doing all this, he placed the Astraeus Star that was flying everywhere in the ceiling of the experimental field. There were only a few channels that could accommodate the traction starlight and were connected to the single room of Kong Yao Tulip. in.
Then he glanced at the magic crystal plate next to him and found that the magic power in the stable column was rising at an extremely fast speed, which meant that it was indeed useful.
Chloë nodded with satisfaction.
"As long as it works, if there is really a change, then I will transform the entire tulip field."
In the next time, he simply inspected his mage tower. The magical beasts and magical plants are bred and planted inside.
——There are coconut trees engraved with dragon eggs transforming into nutritional magic patterns, four-color sunflowers that are preaching to more sunflowers, earth rats that build their own castles and kingdoms, solid magic bottle plants that transform magic potions, happy dreaming The magic crystal white rat...
If outsiders came here, they would think they were coming to some special magic plant and monster zoo.
......
While Croya was inspecting his mage tower.
Norland Capital.
Estner, the representative of the Mages Association, is meeting and negotiating with a count from the Heraldry Court.
Both parties were actually quite embarrassed, but the one who was more embarrassed was definitely the chubby, doughy-looking count.
He is Count Sangabu, the Vice-President of the Heraldry Academy.
Theoretically, he is already the second-in-command of the aristocratic institution, the Chamber of Heraldry, and is a loyal retainer directly affiliated with King Norland.
His arrival actually represents the will of King Norland.
Being able to create a country where the royal power is highly centralized but does not have any faith and will not be dominated by the church, King Norant is actually not a useless person. On the contrary, he is very smart.
King Norante is well aware of the importance of the Mage Association, but he has never had a suitable opportunity to formally cooperate with the association. In his opinion, even a selfish mage is much better than that group of people from the Holy See.
And now is an opportunity.
A mage duke who was born in the Mage Association and was canonized by the royal family can completely serve as a channel and signal for cooperation between the two parties.
Count Sangabu recalled King Norante's order and said bluntly: "Master Estner, how about allocating the entire northern territory to Master Croya as a fief?"
"Okay." Estner nodded.
Although this matter is already a fact, it must be mentioned, otherwise where will the royal family’s face be put?
“Independent trading rights, population migration rights, heraldry parliamentary rights...”
Count Sangabu reported a series of powers owned by the Duke - to be honest, they are all It's useless. Who can become a duke without such a thing on the surface?
Estner waited patiently for him to finish, then gently knocked on the table and prompted: "Where is the empty island?"
"..." Earl Sanggabu hesitated.
He asked tentatively: "Ten acres?"
The answer was Estner's sneer: "Huh."
The empty island of ten acres ? Did you send those slaves away?
If he was really given ten acres of land, he could refuse the title of Duke on behalf of Cloya at this moment - it would be better not to take it if he was so aggrieved!
"Tell me what you want." Sweat flowed from Earl Sangabu's chubby face. He took out a handkerchief and wiped it, and begged: "You know, that is the heritage of the royal family. "
"Isn't it the floating island community excavated from the north? Without our Mage Association to help you stabilize the magic structure, they would have fallen long ago. "
Estner. He said directly: "At least three hectares."
After a pause, he added: "There must be Liuguang Falls, there must be fields of Yunguangming soil, and there must be... micro-Kongyao mineral veins !”
As soon as he said these words, Earl Sangabu’s sweat was like rain, and even the extremely elegant and custom-made noble clothes were soaked.
He tremblingly took out a gold knife inlaid with precious stones and placed it on the table, his face ashen as death: "You might as well kill me."
"Three hectares, flowing waterfalls, bright clouds The soil is fine...but the Kongyao Mine is only found on five islands, and they are all territories directly under the royal family."
He tried to argue that this matter was really beyond his authority. If he took that thing. He had to commit suicide by stabbing himself in the back the next day.
“No.” Estner shook his head, reached out and picked up the golden dagger, and pointed it at the fat earl.
His voice was very soft, but it seemed to be carrying the biting cold wind, and his eyes were filled with magical light.
“Does the territory that Archmage Eurydice once owned also belong to you?”
“Mr. Count, does King Norante think so too?”
< br>The fat on the count's face really twitched hard now. The sweat was not only flowing down, but his face even turned pale.
At this moment——
“Don’t make it difficult for him. He is just a dog raised by my father. Why should you do this.”
A clear female voice sounded like the sound of nature, and the count immediately jumped up at a speed that was completely inappropriate for his body shape. He took out a magic scroll and cleaned the table and chairs.
Then he stood behind the chair like a competent dog and watched respectfully as a woman with long blond hair reaching her waist sat down in the chair.
Estner seemed to have expected it, and lowered his head slightly: "Your Highness Mibeka, it seems that you still need to go there in person."
He called Mibeka. The woman nodded slightly.
“I can promise everything you said on behalf of the royal family. I will personally convey the father’s order.”
“This is from the Mages Association. It used to be the Archmage Eurydice. He has also been to Hanjiao Island. Maybe this is the fate you often talk about."
She smiled, "But please also contact Master Croya to promise us something."< br>
"Say." Estner did not agree directly.
“…My mother is dying, and I want to ask the mermaid to sing a soul-burial song.
If Master Croya can help me do it, I will transfer the memory from the game Give him an item obtained by the Kingdom of Sien."
"It is said that it was the map of Gopherwood Paradise left by the legendary knight of the Sethian Kingdom."
Estner's pupils shrank slightly.
“I will contact him.”
He did not agree immediately, but planned to contact Croya before answering. He felt that Croya would agree.
Princess Mibeka smiled and said: "Please come with me personally. I also want to meet my brother. I don't know if he is doing well in the north."
"Okay. . ”
After making this decision, the two finally looked at each other and smiled. The earl on the side immediately carefully arranged for snacks that were more expensive than gold.
The scene suddenly became peaceful.
