Chapter 112 First Member of Hidden Dragon Guard

Flute in illusion space cannot interact with Melody. Edgar has only developed the illusion space recently. He can't make the character act like an AI. He can only make Flute demonstrate the Art of Zither. It is like Melody is watching a recorded tutorial. historical

Flute will only show the basics of the Art of Zither, the first few rhythmic movements and breathing to reach the first level of aura, so Melody could use life detection to see.

Edgar pulled his consciousness out of the illusion, but his hand is still on Melody's head. He felt a stare. He turned his head, and he saw the little girl staring at him with unkind eyes. The chocolate had been eaten by her completely. She remembered that she had to guard her older sister. She is surprised and looks angry that the handsome brother is touching her sister's head. She crossed her arms, and a frown appeared on her face.

"Is he taking advantage of sister Melody? But why is sister Melody not resisting? Did handsome brother threaten her? That is not good. I need to think of a solution to take sister away from the claw of handsome brother," the little girl thought.

Edgar smiles as he sees the frowning little girl.

He put his right hand in his pocket and took out another chocolate from his storage space. He raised his right hand, which holds the chocolate, and shook it. The little girl saw it, but she snorted.

"Hmpf! Handsome brother, you think the same method will trick me twice! You are underestimating me too much!" Thought the little girl as she saw Edgar shaking the chocolate.

Edgar put an imperceptible wind on the chocolate bar and threw it in the direction of the little girl. The chocolate gently landed beside the little girl.

The little girl snorted, but her eyeballs turned, and she looks at the chocolate bar.

"A Belgian chocolate with walnuts and a new flavor?" The little girl took her vision away from the chocolate and started to think.

"Yes, that's right! My brain cells need energy to consume. I will take advantage of what he gave me to think of a solution on how to handle him! Ha, I'm so smart!" She looks at Edgar and grins as if she outsmarted him. She took the chocolate bar and started eating it.

"Hmm? This chocolate tastes better than what I ate earlier." The little girl is analyzing the flavor of the chocolate. Her feet are swaying while eating with relish, and Edgar and Melody are blown away from her mind again.

After Flute taught Melody the basics of the Art of Zither, Edgar appeared in the illusion space again to explain the situation of hyperbeings. The monopoly of knowledge and hyperbeings seem compelled not to spread.

"That is one of the reasons why I have to hide that I am an aura master and magician. When you successfully cultivate magic and aura, I will give you magic equipment to temporarily hide your energy. When the day comes that you no longer need to hide your true energy, you will already be one of the strongest hyperbeings in the world," said Edgar.

Melody does not seem to believe it.

Edgar smiles at the expression of Melody, who does not believe what he said. She doesn't know how strong she will become.

"Don't practice the rhythm of the art of zither yet. I will prepare a place where you can practice and the medicines that you will need for cultivation. I will take you from the orphanage tomorrow and bring you there," said Edgar.

Melody nods.

"Thank you," Melody softly said. Although she doesn't truly understand how powerful aura and magic are, she understands that it is a rare opportunity based on what Edgar said to her.

"Why are you helping me?" asked Melody.

"You know the danger of a magic beast, right?" asked Edgar.

Melody nods, but she feels confused about why Edgar asked it.

"If your orphanage is suddenly attacked by a magic beast, don't you want to have the power to fight back? You heard the news, right? A sudden world's burst could happen anywhere, and help might be too late to arrive," said Edgar.

Melody's grip on the zither became hard. She lost her parents to a magic beast. She cannot allow that tragedy to repeat. Her eyes are getting more determined. She will not just train to see. She will get the strength that will crush beasts!

Edgar smiles when he sees her eyes, which yearn for power. He did not explain to her yet that she would be one of the main forces of the hidden dragon guard. He also did not explain the mission of the dragon guards. She is not ready to carry the burden yet. He will train her first, and with the help of illusion, he is confident that he can train her to have an iron will and carry out the mission of the hidden dragon guard.

They went out of the illusion. It's only been twenty minutes since Edgar cast the illusion, but Melody stayed in the illusion for eight hours.

Edgar took his hand from Melody's head.

Melody opened her eyes. The world of darkness surrounds her again. Her grip on her zither became stronger.

"Soon. You will disappear from my vision soon," thought Melody, as if she were telling it to the world of darkness in which she stares.

The little girl finishes eating the chocolate and remembers that she has to think about how to handle Edgar.

"Oh right, I need to think about how to handle handsome broth—waaah! Handsome brother tricked me!" The little girl looks shocked. Her hands are put on her cheeks, as she can't believe she fell for handsome brother's trick. She jumped from the bench and ran toward Edgar and Melody.

"Sisteeer! Move away from handsome brother! H-He is a scheming man!" Shouted the little girl. Edgar and Melody laugh.

Edgar put money in the box as a promise and sent money online to the bank account of Saving Grace Orphanage. He called for a driverless taxi and accompanied them to the orphanage. He will return tomorrow and bring food for children as promised, but he did not expect to meet another Legatee when he returns to the orphanage, a Legatee of Feiyu.
