I'm a mage, what's wrong with loving farming?

Chapter 84: Kabamon's Second Mark
An ambitious man -

This is Cloya's impression and evaluation of the Baron.

Of course, this is not a bad thing, on the contrary it is a good thing.

It is actually a very brave thing to be willing to fight and work hard, and not to lie down and wait for death under the protection of your title and ancestors.

There are many nobles, but there are very few who are willing to work hard and explore. The luxurious life has long corroded the fighting spirit of most of them.

Although it may be a little difficult to make him surrender in this situation, isn't it the difficult things that bring a sense of accomplishment?

Croa doesn't even look down on those who would bow down and worship him immediately.

The method he prepared was actually very simple.

Support and enablement.

As long as the other party has become accustomed to the convenient assistance in magic and magical instruments and materials provided by Croa, it will be really difficult to quit.

At that time, he would only need to use a little trick to make Baron Kmoyer submit to him.

Simple and crude, but effective.

So from now on... he will take action step by step.

"Tell me first, what kind of magic weapon do you want me to make for you?"

After Kroya made the decision, he did not agree immediately, but asked seriously, "What kind of undead are there?"

The baron's mind moved, and he quickly replied: "There are some low-level ghouls, gargoyles, ghosts and skeleton warriors in there."

“I can provide you with holy water of purity level 2 and an alchemy book called “Miracle of Light”.

As long as you can help me make the Holy Water of Light, the Wings of Light, and the Scroll of Light Link, this book of alchemy will be my thank you gift to you."

The "Miracle of Light" he mentioned can actually be translated as "Alchemy of Light", which is mainly about making some magical instruments and scrolls with demon-breaking and sacred effects.

According to the Vatican's propaganda, this method is the crystallization of wisdom from the God of Light and the gods in his kingdom, and it is a miracle that mortals cannot see.

But in fact... it's just a gimmick and a way of praising God.

It's ultimately a form of alchemy.

But in other words, it seems entirely feasible that alchemy could be called a miracle art.

What he needs should correspond to the types of monsters one by one. It is a wise and sufficient preparation.

Croa was surprised and said, "The book Miracle of Light is not even included in the Mage Association of the Royal Capital. It is specially provided to the alchemists of the Holy See."

Now that we have decided to cooperate, we must ask.

The baron shook his head: "I can seriously swear on my family crest that these have absolutely nothing to do with the current church.

All of this is the wealth accumulated by my ancestors."

The present Vatican?
Oops.

This sentence reminded Cloya of a book the original owner had read. It was a book in which the Mage Association analyzed the composition of the positions in the Holy See.

It is clearly mentioned in it that the current Church is no longer the original Church. The Church used to believe in another god of unknown identity, not the Father of Light.

When the former Holy See was still in existence, the Kingdom of Nolant did not have such a large territory.

It was because they sent some of their own paladins to help the kingdom expand that they have today’s special status in the kingdom.

Based on this historical speculation, the ancestor of Baron Kemoye should have been a pioneer knight sent by the Holy See, and may even have some knowledge of alchemy.

"Although he is just a minor noble, he has a very deep background."

He didn't ask any more questions, but nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll have a pleasant cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

Neither of them mentioned the contract this time.

Because of this life-saving grace and previous cooperation, Baron Kemoye already trusted Croa. Contracts were mostly used when the two parties could not reach a consensus and trust each other.

This is also the first time that both parties have cooperated based on trust.

……

The next day, the Baron left.

Before he left, he told Cloya that he would send the materials and books as soon as possible. At the same time, he did not take the holy white iron with him. These things were also materials, and they were all given to Cloya for production.

This time he came over and handed over a bunch of magic plants and magic beasts to Kloya. It seemed that he had not gained anything, but in fact he could not suppress his joy at all.

While sitting in the carriage, his most loyal subordinate boldly asked: "Sir, we have spent so many resources this time, why are you still smiling so happily?"

The Baron glanced at his subordinate - the most loyal does not mean the smartest.

Although this guy is not smart, he is obedient enough and good at saying nice things to make him happy.

He was in a good mood, so he explained: "I have the spiritual dew and spring flowers left by our ancestors, which can continuously produce holy water, but we have no way to ask the Holy See to process it.

The things recorded in that book are not something that ordinary magicians can do.

Now that we have Master Croa helping us process and make scrolls and instruments, we can explore the ruins faster and obtain more treasures.

If a book can establish a good relationship with this unfathomable wizard, it is definitely worth it.

With his help, I have been a baron for so long..."

At the end of his words, a gleam of desire flashed in his eyes.

"So that's how it is. Your wisdom is amazing!"

The subordinate who raised the question suddenly realized that nice words should be thrown out like money, which made Baron Kmoyer even happier.

……

In the next few days, while waiting for the books to be delivered, Kloya was a little worried about the situation of the new batch of magical beasts and magical plants. As a result, he discovered an unexpected surprise!
It was brought by the Kabamons.

At first, this group of new Kabamon were not used to the fact that their own kind had to eat iron blocks.

They were originally herbivores, and usually just ate grass leisurely. But suddenly they saw their fellow species gnawing on pieces of iron.

And it is an iron block with a very high purity.

They are usually lazy and a little dull, but when they see ore, they will rush over quickly and chew it up beautifully with their tempered teeth.

It is worth mentioning here that the unprocessed ore in Cloya's hands is extremely scarce.

However, the kabamons became more and more enthusiastic about the ore, so after eating the ore, they would regurgitate it many times and then chew and digest it many times.

If they come across a suitable piece of ore, they will even focus on it and regurgitate it and chew it whenever they have time.

The iron block became soft for unknown reasons.

Bartos hurried to report.

When Croa, who was originally preparing to imprint magic on the new Cabbamon, heard about it from Bartos, he immediately became interested.

He immediately realized that the Kabamons might be able to engrave more spells, so he simply went to the bottom of the lake himself.

Then he used the Mage's Hand to take the piece of iron that the largest kabamon was chewing from its mouth.

The Kabamon whose food was taken away immediately started to groan and nudged Croa with its head, but it did not protect the food or anything.

Instead, it seems like she is acting coquettishly.

"Don't be impatient." Kloya comforted it and looked at the iron block held in front of it by the wizard's hand.

Its shape is very strange.

It can no longer be called a piece of iron.

Instead, it looks more like...plasticine or semi-solid iron clay.

It was supposed to be holy white iron, but the magic inside had been refined and completely softened, as if Kabamon's power had completely penetrated into it.

The wizard's hands feel very soft, like plasticine.

And...it is no longer the holy white, but has a hint of red that seems to be spreading.

That's the blood of the Kabamons!

Kloya murmured to himself, "A prototype of a magical weapon. You actually created a prototype of your own magical weapon?"

He really couldn't believe it, but he couldn't help but believe it - after being soaked in the magic and blood of Kabamon, these holy white irons had become the prototypes of the magic weapons they forged.

All you need to do is draw the fixed magic patterns and then shape it, and it will become a magic weapon.

The most important thing is, since this was forged by them throughout the entire process, the magic of the iron block and their magic have long since resonated perfectly, like one arm using the other.

If it were placed in the immortal cultivation novels of the previous life, it would be the so-called "natal magic weapon".

But it seems that the Kabamons have no such idea at all. They just think the process of exercise is very interesting.

He returned the piece of holy white iron, which had turned into a brand new material, to Kabamon, and watched the latter slowly start chewing it again.

Although the tempered teeth can crush ore, they cannot break this extremely tough thing. As the teeth sink deep into the stone, saliva and magic power also seep in.

Every bite is like a full-scale "hammering" of the iron clay. One can imagine how many times they have hammered it to create such a material.

Obviously, only a monster like Kabamon, who is very Buddhist and focused on one thing, can do this.

"It's really amazing." He couldn't help but sigh, then rubbed Kabamon's head with his hand, and suddenly heard its consciousness -

"Forge... Draw."

"More forging methods..."

There were only two short sentences, and the voice was very weak. If Cloya hadn't been paying attention, he would have thought he had misheard.

He couldn't help but click his tongue: "I want to learn more about forging methods."

This is exactly what he wants!

Now relying solely on the stomach to forge magic is indeed a bit out of date, and more special magic is urgently needed.

Croa had already thought about this problem a long time ago, and had also struggled with what more appropriate magic was.

Eventually, he found two types of magic that should be suitable.

The first one is called "Elemental Hammer". The function of this magic is to gather the corresponding elemental magic power into a hammer.

Using this hammer to hit metal ores will gradually allow magic power to seep into them. This is a relatively common type of magic.

Some magic shops sell "Three-Hammer Magic Iron". The three actually represents that these ores have been hammered by several elemental hammers.

The more, the better, of course.

The second type is an advanced version of magic forging, called "powerful purification".

This kind of magic is exactly the opposite of the elemental magic hammer.

It is a magic that increases the purity of refined materials. The principle is to use magic power to force out all the magic power that should not exist in the materials.

There are certain requirements for the strength and control of magic power.

Kloya originally planned to engrave the second kind of magic on them, but now it seems... engraving the first kind seems more appropriate.

And he also planned to engrave more than just this kind of magic.

He wants to get the iron block of the corresponding element he wants.
