Novel Full Chapter 416 Eternal Starfire
Chapter 416 Eternal Starfire
Alice’s first day living at the damp and gloomy bottom of the cliff left her in a terrible state, with no mood to enhance her own strength.
Especially at night, when it was silent all around.
She could only see the hazy moonlight and sparse starlight in the sky.
Her sleeping place was just a simple tent.
For a young lady who had grown up in luxurious surroundings, this was undoubtedly a hellish experience.
Her cooking skills, needless to say, were not up to par. Apart from someone unselective like Zoey, who could stomach the food she made?
William did bring her plenty of seasonings, but cooking meat was absolutely more difficult for her than alchemy.
Alice had cut a lot of meat from the carcass of an ancient dragon in the pond, but she soon discovered something: regular fire simply couldn’t cook it, so there was no point in discussing whether her cooking technique was correct or not.
It wasn’t just a matter of taste anymore,the fire Alice conjured couldn’t properly cook the ancient dragon meat!!
If the Sword of Soulbreaker was needed to cut the meat from the ancient dragon, how could Alice possibly chew it?
It was a joke, right?
So, since William left, Alice hadn’t managed to eat anything…
“Where’s the coffee we talked about? You brought it the first day and then never again.” At this moment, Alice had no mood to research alchemy or integrate the energy of the Dragon Pearl.
She was extremely depressed.
She felt completely defeated by William. He had promised to bring coffee every day when he left, but now the day had turned to night, and he hadn’t shown up.
Coffee, indeed…
As expected, a man’s words can’t be trusted!
Alice sat in the tent, unable to sleep no matter what. When had she ever suffered such indignity in her life?
“Liar!” Alice bitterly chewed on a blade of grass, grumbling angrily.
“Who are you calling a liar?”
Just as she was brooding, suddenly a voice sounded in her ear.
Hearing the voice, Alice trembled with excitement but quickly calmed down, clenched her fists tightly, and huffed, “Who else could it be? You, of course!”
As she finished speaking, William had already silently seated himself next to her, holding a cup of coffee in his hand.
“Cold Brew Coffee, with sugar added.”
Alice finally couldn’t hold back anymore, took the coffee, and asked, “Is there a lot of ice added?”
“I don’t know.” William had no idea about these things; he just ordered the best-selling coffee. As for how much ice was added, he really didn’t know.
Alice opened the lid, took a sip, and whispered, “This is with less ice.”
“Then give it to me!” William reached out his hand.
Alice blankly handed the coffee to William.
William held the coffee for a moment, then handed it back: “Now check if there’s enough ice?”
Alice took the coffee again.
Took a slurp…
Oh dear…
It was all ice chips.
Indeed, there was plenty of ice!
“I’ll drink it later.” Alice laughed and cried, thinking it was already quite good of William to add ice for her without turning it completely into a block of ice.
William said, “Okay, then I’ll be going. You should focus on improving your strength.”
“You’re leaving so soon?” Alice widened her eyes in surprise.
Her real desire wasn’t just to drink coffee,she actually just wanted to chat with William.
William squinted and said, “Have you done nothing all day? Do you not want to leave this place?”
“No, it’s not that! The roasted dragon meat just couldn’t be cooked thoroughly, and I haven’t eaten anything all day.” Now, as a mid-level Soulmancer in the late stage, Alice can go one or two days without feeling hungry at all.
But when a girl says such things, her actual hope is usually to receive care and concern.
William pondered for a moment, then said, “I’ll teach you how to use Eternal Starfire. It should be sufficient for this task.”
Alice felt a bit let down.
She had hoped for William to show some concern or offer comforting words, rather than immediately starting to teach her how to use Eternal Starfire.
But with William already starting the instruction, Alice had no choice but to set aside her coffee and pay close attention to learning.
William began to explain, “Eternal Starfire is not just a flame,it is an ancient magic intimately connected with the energy of the universe. To master it, you need to learn to feel and manipulate this energy.”
He continued, “Imagine the oldest stars in the universe. Their energy is stored in this flame. To ignite the Eternal Starfire, you need to concentrate your mind and feel the power deep within your heart. Remember, its power can be as warm as the spring sun or as intense as the summer blaze.”
“Feel it with your heart, let your thoughts merge with the flame. It will be your shelter when you need warmth or light, and it will become your weapon when you face an enemy,” William gently guided Alice.
As she delved deeper into the learning process, Alice gradually entered a wonderful state, feeling a warm power flowing within her.
William then stood up, glancing at the coffee beside him.
He picked it up and left.
He knew that with Alice’s talent, this training session might last for a long time.
Eternal Starfire was not easy to learn,if it were Zoey, she might learn it in three days, and Lucien in about a month.
As for Alice…
Without three months, she probably wouldn’t be able to light even a small spark!
William took the coffee and disappeared from the cliff bottom again.
She wouldn’t be drinking that coffee now. 𝑖𝘦.𝒸𝘰𝘮
The reason he taught her Eternal Starfire was quite simple: to properly cook the meat of the ancient dragon, ordinary fire certainly wouldn’t suffice.
In William’s view, increasing abilities wasn’t as important as eating, which always came first.
The next morning, Steven was already waiting outside William’s yard.
After William had spoken of such significant matters the previous night, how could Steven possibly sleep?
But since William had said they would talk the next day, Steven didn’t dare to disturb him and chose to come over and wait in the morning instead.
“So early?” William greeted Steven with a smile upon seeing him.
“Good morning, Mr. Johnson,” Steven greeted William at the gate.
“Come in,” William said, already sitting on a stone bench in the yard.
His wingback chair had been commandeered by Luna, who was using it to enhance her abilities.
She certainly knows how to choose the best spot.
Erebus, on the other hand, was pitifully tending to Seraphina, shoveling manure and watering behind the fence.
The difference in treatment between the little boy and the little girl was stark.
“Mr. Johnson, about what you told me last night, what do you think we should do?” Steven, having prepared his words, asked, “The deities of the Divine Realm should all be benevolent, right? They wouldn’t harm us?”
William didn’t know where Steven got the idea that all deities of the Divine Realm were benevolent.
“Do you think a more advanced civilization, if forced to coexist with a lesser one due to the collapse of their world, would harbor benevolent intentions?”
William posed this question.
Steven was immediately taken aback.
A more advanced civilization?
They also worship deities!
Although not as devout as in ancient times, in his heart, deities were mostly considered benevolent, and if they descended to this world, they would be expected to save the common people from disasters and troubles..
