The poor ant queen had never experienced anything like this.
A Third-Level Mage-and one with a whole slew of cheats, at that-was casting magic on her. She had no room to resist whatsoever.
Kroya's power affected her mind almost instantly. She sank into the tranquil melody and heard his gentle voice-
"Help me, and I will give you plentiful food, a safe nest, and ample magic power."
Nature Communication and Quiet Little Serenade worked in tandem, immediately showing the ant queen a wonderful vision.
It was a nest piled high with all kinds of food and magic ores. She would no longer have to worry about food or magic power. All she had to do was help this generous mage find minerals and Magic Veins.
That was all it took to get them!
The gentle voice washed over her consciousness again and again, presenting those images directly before her.
How could a little ant queen withstand such temptation?
Survival of the fittest-even magic insects wanted a safe place to thrive and reproduce, and now just such a place lay before her.
She soon became immersed in that wonderful vision, and a thought gradually arose: Find ore! Finding ore will let the colony live more comfortably and evolve!
The desire was so strong that even the pheromones she released were saturated with it, spreading it to every other gray magic ant nearby.
And so, things really did unfold just as Kroya had expected.
The same intent emerged in unison from the Astral Spirit Bodies of the surrounding gray magic ants-
"Find ore veins and Magic Veins!"
Although a single ant's consciousness was tiny, with so many ants together, even Kroya could feel their determination.
It was almost deafening.
A smile appeared on the mage's face. He knew his experiment had succeeded.
