Chapter 415: Chapter 190: Changes in the Fragment

In the ornate piano room, waves of melodious music flowed out.

However, sitting before the black and white keyboard was neither the girl who should have been there, but rather a blue-grey kitten and a semi-transparent young dragon.

At this moment, they were earnestly cooperating to play the masterpiece created by the Elf music master, McCarthy Star Chaser, on a night without stars.

This was his last work, and it is said that upon creating this music, McCarthy perceived some form of revelation.

Thus, after leaving behind the music score, he pursued something and eventually got lost deep within the Dream World.

“That’s good enough, Kate, Feiya, this rendition of Star Illusion is pretty good! The number of mistakes has been reduced to within three times!”

At the end of the song, Fiona, who was standing beside them listening, nodded her head and took out a few pale golden Radiant Crystals, feeding them to the two little ones as a reward.

This special secret magic crystal not only enhances the spiritual synchronization of Mid Rank Professionals, but also permanently increases the upper limit of their spiritual power when used by Low Rank Professionals and pets.

It also permanently enhances their spiritual power activity, making it easier to increase their spiritual synchronization in the future.

Thus, the two little ones happily took the crystals to a corner, licking and absorbing the special energy within them.

Feeling their joyful emotions, Fiona rested her chin on one hand and gazed out, her lake-blue eyes slightly lost in thought.

It has already been over half a year since she last saw her brother, Anvis.

Although there had been a separation of a year previously, this time was different from the last because there were dangerous enemies attacking, and her brother had to separate from her to protect her.

Meanwhile, the girl’s schedule also became busy; every day either practicing, taking various resource potions, learning different magical knowledge, or combat training against illusionary opponents.

Only during the occasional relaxation time after practice could she play with the two little ones for a while.

This is the price of being born into a prominent family; although she has a status and resources others can hardly imagine, the pressure and threats she needs to face are proportional to her status.

Even because of her uniqueness, the threats Fiona faces are far greater than those her brothers and sisters face.

Lately, she has been practicing within her family’s independent secret realm, and she is entirely under the Guardian’s protection of the Ninth Rank Limit of the family.

The family has tightly protected her, restricting her range of activities to the core of the magic tower within the family’s secret realm and strictly prohibited her from meeting anyone apart from her family’s Ninth Rank and the Duke couple.

Lonely, dull, and uninteresting.

But most importantly, without Anvis by her side, the girl suddenly felt somewhat at a loss.

Some seemingly ordinary things in life can only be appreciated for their value after they are lost.

At the same time, she also slightly changed her previously playful character, beginning to force herself to study diligently.

Living in the family’s secret realm for over half a year, the girl’s strength improved drastically, not only breaking through the Fourth Rank but also advancing to a high segment of the Fourth Rank.

Most importantly, it has barely been a year since she broke through the Third Rank.

This speed, if mentioned, could shock everyone.

Moving to the black and white keyboard herself, the girl also began to play the tune[Star Fantasy].

Beautiful and dreamy notes flowed once more, and accompanied by Fiona’s playing, illusory stars seemed to descend into the room, singing along with the melody.

The girl used her spiritual power while playing, truly bringing out the artistic conception of the music.

According to the theory proposed by the Minstrel Guild, music is inherently a magical thing. When stimulated by spiritual power, it displays different effects.

As the melody ended, Fiona embraced the two little ones into her arms, quietly lost in thought, letting the illusion of the starry sky in mid-air gradually dissipate.

If her brother were here now, he would probably gently smile and praise her progress.

However, at this moment, the girl suddenly sensed something abnormal.

She reached out her hand, and a familiar dark blue rock fragment appeared in her delicate palm.

This was indeed a fragment of the Star Body Stone Plate she had obtained earlier. To her perception, it had just seemed to suddenly erupt with a ripple of magic power.

At this moment, it seemed that the power of the music she just played triggered some mechanism, causing the white Starlight Gem on the fragment to flicker and emit unique waves.

“This… I remember it was sealed by my father. Why would it suddenly react?”

Holding the flickering stone plate fragment, Fiona was a bit puzzled.

But just as she was about to put down the fragment and ask her father about it, an unexpected accident suddenly occurred.

After flashing urgently a few times, the fragment suddenly released a small-scale special teleportation field. Fiona was caught off guard, abruptly swept into it, and then disappeared!

During this process, the two magic ornaments on her body flashed, seemingly trying to urgently interrupt the teleportation, but ultimately they did not function properly.

Almost at the same time, the Family Guardian who sensed something was wrong appeared in the room, but by then, there was no trace of the girl.

With a grave expression, the Guardian’s silver eye on his forehead opened, a radiance fiercely delved into space, trying to use a secret technique to trace the girl’s whereabouts.

After a while, he somewhat resentfully closed his single eye, his expression grim.

Just now, the teleportation’s residual waves in mid-air had been smoothed out instantaneously by some force. Even though he acted immediately, he could only barely trace the last remnants.

Through these traces, he could only tentatively pinpoint the teleportation’s other end, located within the northwestern part of the Yiter Free Federation.

Realizing the urgent situation, the Guardian immediately sent out a summoning signal, urgently convening the Duke and Duchess and other Ninth Rank members of the family to support and discuss possible remedies.

“Isn’t the Family Secret Realm currently in a state of spatial confusion, prohibiting teleportation? And she also has ornaments to prevent teleportation. How did the enemy manage to teleport her away?”

Upon learning of the current specific situation, the Duke found it hard to believe.

“I’m not sure, according to the results of the Prophecy Magic, she seems to have been actively teleported away by some entity. The power of that entity is very special, and spatial confusion can’t block it.

I had used a secret technique to track earlier, but I could only confirm the teleportation endpoint is located on the northwestern side of the Federation.”

The Guardian, with a grim expression, stated the conclusion of the magic detection.

“Alright, then please guide us in that direction. We will depart immediately. Also, to avoid traps set by the enemy, let’s make some preparations and prevent the outside world from noticing our departure.”

Nodding, Duke Carrot swiftly set the course of action, and the other two Ninth Ranks did not object either.

Unlike the previous scenario Anvis orchestrated where ‘Fiona was taken away’, this time, Fiona was truly lost.

In such times when the outside world is frantically searching for her, each missing second increases her danger.

Although very anxious, they had no choice but to proceed carefully.
