What era is it, still traditional card making

Looking at the guests who walked into the library in an orderly manner, Edas's face was calm, without any ripples at all.

This is her daily life. Although it is boring and tedious, she actually likes this feeling.

Occasionally I read a book, do some fishing, and the day just passes by like this.

If possible, she really hopes that this kind of daily life can continue, but unfortunately, reality does not allow her to live so comfortably.

Feeling the throbbing coming from deep in his blood, the expression on Edas's face became much gloomier.

As soon as she left the library yesterday, she went to find someone to investigate the information about this outsider.

Judging from the current situation, this outsider is most likely a pure-blooded dragon from heaven. Apart from the information that he came to the City of Progress two days ago, no other information can be found.

Looking at the blond man walking towards him, the expression on Aidas' face remained cold.

Ye Qiong didn't care about this at all. He bowed and greeted Edas:

"Good morning, Miss Eddas."

Although Adas was very wary of this fellow tribesman in front of her, she still maintained the proper etiquette as a noble. She nodded slightly and replied:

"Hello, unknown guest."

Hearing this name, Ye Qiong couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that the other party didn't believe the two names he reported yesterday.

But this is normal. How could the daughter of the Moon Witch act like a naive person? She easily chose to believe the one-sided words of an outsider.

Ye Qiong didn't care about the other party's address at all. After saying hello, he walked straight into the library.

What he had to do today was no different from what he had to do yesterday. He just had to go to Area F, find the book about humans and star beast masters, and read it slowly.

This kind of leisure time always passes by very quickly.

At dusk, Ye Qiong would walk to the front desk with a few books he had not finished reading, and after applying for a borrowing card, he would leave the Dusk Library.

After arriving in the City of Progress, he spent his days like an NPC.

During the day, I go to the Higurashi Library to read books. At dusk, I go outside the city to deepen my connection with the star world to see if I can get something useful out of it. Around 8 o'clock in the evening, I will return to the hotel where I live to rest.

This kind of day lasted for half a month.

He saw with his own eyes the expression on Edas's face change from initial vigilance to confusion, and then to habit.

Over the past half month, he has behaved quite honestly, as if the conversation that day had never happened.

Sometimes, Adas wants to ask proactively, have you forgotten what you and I talked about in the Magic Cat Cafe half a month ago?

Adas understood that the other party was actually waiting for her to speak, but because she was still wary in her heart, she had not taken the initiative to contact the other party.

Another day's dusk has arrived,

The blond man came to the front desk with three books as usual.

"Miss Eddas, I'm sorry."

Before he could finish his words, the half-dragon girl had already used her dragon tail to throw a reading card in front of him.

After spending half a month together, the two have developed a preliminary understanding, and can understand each other's intentions without communicating.

This is like going to a restaurant regularly and at the beginning you have to say:

"Boss, give me some wontons, and one more."

After we got to know each other better, we just needed to say, "Boss, same as always."

Finally, as soon as you enter the store, the boss will bring the prepared meals to you.

This may be the advantage of being a fixed NPC. Once you become familiar with the boss, you can always save a lot of trouble.

Ye Qiong smiled, then took the library card from the table, said thank you, and chose to leave the Rimu Library.

Looking at the departing figure, Adas still said nothing.

At this moment, there was a noise under her feet.

A red-haired cat came out, jumped nimbly, and landed on the front desk.

The red cat looked at Ye Qiong's back and actually spoke:

"Little Eddas, was that the man who found you and told you about Ann Jones? It doesn't seem like anything special."

"You never have a very good eye for people."

Upon hearing this, the red cat immediately became anxious, stretched out its cat claws and pointed at the half-dragon girl in front of it, and angrily shouted:

"Slander! If I didn't have good vision, how could I have expanded the revolutionary army to its current size!"

When Adas heard this, he looked somewhat helpless.

Is it possible that it is because of your poor vision that the revolutionary army has been able to grow to its current size?

Don't you see what kind of people have sneaked into your team? There are fugitives, mad scientists, and even cops.

If it weren't for the fact that this so-called revolutionary army poses no threat at all, the major forces in the demon world would have already begun to encircle and suppress you. How could they allow you to continue to grow?

Adas decisively skipped this topic and returned to the main point.

"Kelly, how much of what he said do you think is true?"

"How would I know? I have never been to the Extreme Ice Mountains. That is the closest place to the heavens. How could I dare to wander around there?"

"Other than that?"

Kelly looked thoughtful, shook her head after a moment and replied:

"We saw it with our own eyes at that time. He has already left and there is no way he will come back. Moreover, his personality is very different from the Ye Qiong we know."

"So your answer is no? He's not the man we know?"

"Well, the only thing that puzzles me is where he knew these two names. The name Ann Jones may be known from the White Rose Academy, but what about the name "Ye Qiong"? The only ones who know this name should be the two of us and those natural disasters."

"Scourge revealed this name to him? Why? What was the reason?"

"I'm not a natural disaster. What's the point of asking me these questions?"

Kelly sighed deeply, and then continued:

"So? You really haven't had any contact with him in the past half month?"

Eddas shook his head and replied:

"No."

"He didn't take the initiative to look for you?"

"Except for borrowing books, he never took the initiative to contact me at other times."

Hearing this, Kelly couldn't help but sigh again. What kind of gods are these?

If what that guy said is true, then the entire Tak planet should be in a critical situation right now, right?

Why are these two guys able to play the roles of librarian and customer so calmly?

Were you two high school students who had a crush on each other, but you didn't dare to take the initiative to say a word to each other?

Kelly was also convinced. In her opinion, if there is a problem, just solve it. If you procrastinate, you will only delay yourself in the end. Maybe the other person was so calm because he had a way out.

how about you?

If you are really not curious, just ignore it and continue with your daily life.

But since you have come to me, it is obvious that you are curious about what that guy said.

Based on Kelly's understanding of Edas, the reason for her curiosity was probably not because of the things sealed in the Arctic Mountains, but because she wanted to know where her mother had gone.

The two of them have known each other for so many years and already know each other inside and out.

Basically, as soon as Edas called, Kelly already knew what her old friend wanted to do.

She stared at the half-dragon girl in front of her and spoke in a serious tone:

"Aidas, you want to know the whereabouts of your mother, right?"

Adas didn't say anything, but the expression on her face betrayed her.

Kelly didn't know what to say at this moment. How could Sharan have such a filial daughter? It was outrageous that she left Tak Star without leaving anything behind.

Sometimes Kelly even doubted whether Sharan had no feelings for her daughter at all, otherwise how could she do such a heartless thing?

Kelly would naturally not say such things to Edas. They have been friends for so many years. Even if she didn't say some things, she believed that Edas would understand them. She raised her head and confirmed again:

"Aidas, if he knows where your mother is, what are you going to do? Are you going to try to find her like you did before?"

The subtext of Kelly's words is quite obvious. If someone wants to leave, no matter what you say, you can't keep him/her.

I'm afraid that in Sharan's eyes at this moment, there are more important things to do, this matter is so important that she can even abandon her own daughter.

Kelly felt that even if she found Sharan again, this guy probably wouldn't choose to go back with Adas.

Adas also understood this truth, and she fell into silence at this moment.

Seeing this, Kelly just sighed, didn't say much, jumped down from the front desk, and left a sentence: "I'll go talk to him first." Then she left the Dusk Library.

On this day, Ye Qiong planned to go outside the city to feel the connection with the stars as usual. Just as he was about to reach the city gate, he suddenly noticed a prying gaze.

The owner of the sight did not deliberately hide his presence, and told Ye Qiong openly:

"I'm watching you."

Ye Qiong looked in the direction of his sight and saw a figure that was very familiar to him.

The red-haired witch walked towards him. She was not very tall, only about 1.5 meters. The witch had a smile on her face and looked like an ordinary, harmless person.

Kelly took off her hat and saluted. After saying hello, the witch went straight to the point:

"I heard you were looking for me?"

Even though she seems to be defenseless now, if the other party suddenly attacks, she will immediately crush the nameplate in her hand and transfer space immediately.

Ye Qiong smiled and then answered:

"This isn't a good place to chat, right? Why don't we go to the Magic Cat Cafe?"

Kelly nodded and agreed to the proposal. I have to say that the Magic Cat Cafe is really a good place to chat.

After the two sat down, Ye Qiong wanted to order a cup of coffee, but was stopped by Kelly:

"Don't bother with that. Let's get straight to the point."

"I'll treat."

"Iced mocha, thank you."

Hearing this answer, Ye Qiong couldn't help but laugh. In his last reincarnation, he had already obtained information that the witch in front of him was very short of money.

Magic research requires a lot of money. She had no time to earn gold coins while fleeing everywhere. As time went by, her life became increasingly difficult.

Although she was a powerful person at the legendary level, she lived like a refugee every day. If she hadn't had her friends' help, she would have been homeless long ago.

The coffee was served quickly.

Kelly couldn't wait to pick up the iced mocha in front of her, and after taking a sip, she showed a satisfied expression.

"It's been a while since I last had a drink. I've been too busy lately and haven't had time to come to the cafe."

Ye Qiong did not expose the other party's lie. After ordering a few desserts, he went straight to the point.

"What do you want to know?"

Kelly didn't expect the other party to ask so directly.

As it happened, she was not the type to be indecisive, so she immediately stated her problem:

"I want to know where the Moon Witch went?"

This question was not unexpected to Ye Qiong. After spending such a long time together, he already knew what Aidas valued most.

However, although he knew it, he had no clue about the answer to this question.

"I do not know."

Kelly had a look of surprise on her face.

"do not know?"

"Why do you think I would know? Edas should have investigated me, right? I just arrived in the City of Progress half a month ago, and the Moon Witch had already started the ritual and fled before I arrived in the City of Progress.

To be honest, I don’t know much more than you do.”

After hearing this answer, Kelly hummed. It was unclear whether she believed it or not. After a moment of silence, she finally spoke:

"You told Edas earlier that you wanted to get the star power in my body? I'm curious, how do you know that the witch still has star power in her body?"

"I once received a gift from a witch."

Having said that, Ye Qiong directly showed the other party the star power in his body.

When Kelly saw Ye Qiong's right arm shining with starlight, her eyes suddenly widened.

Wait, what did she just see?

Star power actually appeared in the body of a dragon?

Could it be that the ancestors of the star realm have Alzheimer's disease? Shouldn't this power only be harnessed by humans?

After being transformed into witches, they also tried to communicate with the astral world by using the star power in their bodies.

But without exception, they all failed. The Star Realm did not respond at all, as if it had completely given up on these humans who had been transformed into witches.

Originally, they thought that the reason why the star realm did not respond was because the star realm would only respond to humans, so the reason why they retained the star power in their bodies was more of a commemoration, as if by preserving this star power, they still retained their human identity.

However, after Ye Qiong appeared, their guess seemed to be completely shattered.

It seems that it is not only humans who are recognized by the star realm, even the dragons who once destroyed the civilization of star beast masters can absorb star power.

After realizing this, Kelly immediately fell into self-doubt:

"Why, why can you absorb star power but I can't? Which one of you and me is the star beast master?"

Regarding this question, Ye Qiong actually didn't know the answer. Looking at the witch who was close to collapse, he began to comfort her:

"I'm not a star beast master."

"Hmm? You are already able to absorb star power, so why haven't you become a star beast master? Oh, I see. The star realm did not respond to your request. The star beasts in the star realm are unwilling to recognize you as their master."

No, you seem to have misunderstood.

The star realm not only responded to him, but also met all his requests. The surging star power in his body was the best proof of this.

As for why he did not have a contract with a star beast, it was not because he did not have the recognition of the star beast, but simply because he did not want the contracted star beast to divert his star power.

Ye Qiong did not explain too much, as if he agreed with Kelly's statement, and then asked:

"Besides training star beasts, does your star beast master's star power have any other uses?"

After asking this question about her professional field, Kelly immediately showed a hint of confidence:

"Of course, we occasionally use star power to make potions for cultivating star beasts, and we also use star power to cultivate special plants."

"Besides that? Is there any more magical use?"

"magic?"

Hearing this, Kelly couldn't help but show doubt.

Besides these uses, are there any other uses for star power?

"Since you are so interested in Star Beast Masters, why don't you go to the Higurashi Library to look for books about Star Beast Masters? They should explain it clearly."

"I've read them. "Basic Star Beast Master Tutorial" and "Training Star Beasts from Scratch". I don't know how many books I've read."

"Then why are you asking me these questions? You should be very familiar with the use of star power. Oh, I understand. You can't contract a star beast and can't use the star power in your body at all, so you want to find another way to use the star power.

I am also a person who has been through this, so I would like to give you some advice.

Star power has basically no other use except for training star beasts. If a star beast master wants to become stronger, the only way is to contract star beasts and train star beasts.

Boy, since you can't contract a star beast, your path is basically over."

Just as Kelly was talking with the air of an experienced person, Ye Qiong suddenly handed her an apple.

"Give."

Seeing this extremely familiar fruit in front of her, Kelly showed a puzzled look on her face. She couldn't help but raise her head and look at Ye Qiong with puzzled eyes:

"What do you mean?"

"Other uses of star power."

Hearing this, Kelly became even more confused. What were the other uses of star power? Didn't she notice what had just happened?

Her gaze was fixed on the apple in front of her. This was a fruit that only existed in the human era and should have been extinct by now. Why could the other party produce this fruit from the last era?

Kelly couldn't help but reach out and touch it, and immediately a familiar feeling came over her heart.

"It really is an apple. Where did you get it from? Can you please give it to me? Don't worry, I will return it tenfold in a year. Don't underestimate the creative ability of a magic master."

"In less than a year, I can now produce ten times as many apples."

As he spoke, Ye Qiong stretched out his hand. Kelly unconsciously shifted her gaze to Ye Qiong's palm. Within a second, a second apple appeared in his palm.

Kelly was immediately puzzled when she saw this scene.

She didn't even blink, where did this apple come from?

She didn't feel any trace of magic just now. How did this dragon boy do it?

Ye Qiong put the second apple aside and continued to use the "prayer technique".

Soon, the third and fourth apples appeared on the table.

Kelly looked at the apples piled up like a small mountain in front of her, and her mouth unconsciously turned into an O shape.

This is no longer something that can be explained by science and theology. It is absolutely impossible to use any words to explain what is happening before our eyes. It is as if these apples appeared out of thin air in the world. Before we can react, the apples have already appeared.

What about the consumption of mana?

What about the casting process?

Kelly had too many questions at the moment. She looked at Ye Qiong with a curious eye, hoping to get the answer from him.

Ye Qiong did not disappoint her and gave her the answer directly.

"This is another use of star power."

Kelly's first reaction when she heard this was:

"You're just bragging!"

But then she felt something was wrong. Since the process of creating the apple did not consume any magic power, was it possible that what was consumed was actually star power?

Although this is a magical world, it is actually quite scientific. The law of conservation of mass is an unchanging truth.

If you want to get something, you have to consume something.

For example, if you want to cast a fireball spell, you need to consume 10 mana + some fire element particles to get this blazing fireball.

This is an indispensable part of spellcasting. Once the fire element particles are missing, what is released is just a sphere made up of magic power.

If, in the process of generating the apple, the other party did not consume magic power, then it seems that it could only be star power?

Thinking of this, Kelly suddenly became excited.

"Can you show it again? I want to see if the star power in your body has been lost."

"of course can."

Ye Qiong demonstrated it again.

This time, Kelly saw clearly that during the process of generating the apple, the star power in the opponent's body did lose a little bit. Although it was not much, she still captured it accurately. (End of this chapter)
