"Giving up the position of princess... seems to be some kind of strategy."

Compared to the astonishment of ordinary people, Aarons did not react much to Keliya's announcement.

Although he was indeed a little surprised at first, he soon realized that this was a strategy to force Duke Booker to show his hand - and a few days later, an alien mercenary belonging to the Kulan Mercenary Group sent him a secret letter written by Xia Ye, which further confirmed his guess.

"I didn't expect them to meet that bastard Kulan there... Don't worry about it for now."

Duke Booker had been recruiting mercenaries to hunt monsters before, so it was not strange for Kulan to appear there.

However, Xia Ye's letter specifically mentioned the matter of the Son of Star, which surprised him a little.

Because the new girl who came to the door claimed to be the sister of the Son of Star, and said that Aarons had some connection with the Son of Star... The subtle connection between them made him a little suspicious.

After telling the inhuman girl named Yalu by herself about the things mentioned in the letter, the other party gave an uncertain answer.

"Sister, she hasn't awakened yet. I don't know who she is."

"Will it be too late when she really awakens?"

"Sister will become very strong, and humans will not be able to defeat her. Don't worry, brother."

Aarons was originally worried that the Son of the Star would be controlled by others after awakening, but Yalu said that there was no need to worry about it.

According to Yalu's explanation, after the Son of the Star truly awakens, he will not only gain the power of the planet, but will also be immune to human fighting spirit and magic.

After asking a few more questions, Aarons learned a key piece of information.

——The so-called power of the star is actually spiritual power.

"In other words, the magic source stone used by humans is actually equivalent to the blood of the planet?"

After telling Jiangyue his guess, the sage also agreed with it.

"In fact, the fighting spirit and magic used by humans were originally learned from magic beasts. Magic beasts can naturally transform their powerful vitality into special power, and humans are just their imitators."

Although these powers do allow humans to gain the right to compete for survival territory, there have always been people in the academic community who believe that humans have actually gone astray.

"If the star child mentioned by Miss Yang really has the power to control spiritual power at will, then it means that humans have chosen the wrong path from the beginning."

"...Is it too late for me to start learning how to use spiritual power now?"

"Marquis, you think too much. I don't think spiritual power is the kind of power that humans can directly control with their bodies. Miss Spider has also come to a similar conclusion."

The essence of the magic source stone, or high-density carbon uranium crystals, is actually a geothermal ore that can release high-energy radiation.

The spell created by Jiangyue can convert those high-energy radiation into magic power, and after the mutation transformation, the magic source stone can release huge heat energy.

How can humans manipulate radiation and heat energy? Even Karin, who can use this power to fight, can only absorb and release it.

"I think the so-called Star Child should be able to let humans further understand how to use energy, so that human civilization can develop to the level of leaving the planet and going to other worlds."

Since this guess is quite reasonable, Aarons no longer considers cultivation.

However, another thing mentioned by Xia Ye in the letter aroused great interest in the sage.

"Your Highness said that the people of the Covenant Alliance discovered a crystal that can store magic power? It is said to be a companion ore of the magic source stone... How come I have never seen it?"

"Is the environment of the ore vein here different from that of the other side?"

"Maybe... I haven't been to such a far place, so I don't know what's there."

"Ya Lu, I know."

Although Aarons and Jiang Yue had no idea about this, at this time, the girl who had always been with Aarons suddenly said something unexpected.

"Magic crystals need to be compressed before they can appear."

"Compress... You said compression?! How could I forget this method... Marquis, is Miss Yalu really the illegitimate daughter of the old marquis?"

"How is that possible..."

Because Jiangyue's spirit had been secretly tampered with, in her eyes, Yalu was just an ordinary little girl with beautiful black hair.

——Only Aarons could see her snake-like vertical pupils and sharp long ears, as well as the faint red and blue fluorescence on her hair.

"I have to verify this matter quickly... Sorry, Marquis, I'm afraid I won't have time to accompany you these days."

"It doesn't matter, business is more important. Yalu, let's go back."Apart from always sticking to Aarons, Yalu did not show any abnormality in front of outsiders - even if she did something suspicious, she could use her terrifying mental power to erase the other party's sense of disobedience.

Just now, when giving Jiangyue advice, Aarons found that she secretly used her mental power on the sage.

"...So who are you?"

"Brother, I will be scared. So Yalu, you can't say it."

"Okay, I won't ask."

Although Yalu didn't say a word about her true identity, when he thought that she would call the Star Child sister, Aarons knew that she was definitely not a normal human being.

Aarons didn't mind the other party keeping some secrets, because the girl not only had no hostility towards him, but also took the initiative to use her mental power to help him search and lock the hostility around him.

If he still wanted to get to the bottom of it, he would be too narrow-minded.

"Master, the enemies lurking outside the base have been cleared."

"Thank you for your hard work. I don't have anything else to do. You can take a rest first."

"Yes, and I also want to thank Miss Yalu for her assistance."

With such an extra-standard radar at home, Mo Qianyun's security work has become much easier.

As long as Yalu points out the direction, Mo Qianyun can attack immediately and quickly annihilate the mercenaries or killers who try to approach the base.

Of course, Mo Qianyun, who was also affected by mental power, did not realize that there was anything abnormal about the girl.

"Brother, Yalu is very powerful."

"It is indeed very powerful... but am I becoming less and less useful?"

Mental power detection was one of Aarons' few specialties, but the appearance of Yalu made his ability dispensable.

Although his safety was effectively guaranteed, Aarons only felt that the value of his existence was getting weaker and weaker.

——This family may not need him at all.

"Brother, that's strange."

As if she could sense the depression and emptiness in Aarons' heart, the inhuman girl tilted her head and looked at Aarons for a long time, but in the end did nothing.

Because she didn't understand why Aarons had such an idea, and she didn't know what she could do.

"Don't worry, I'm fine... Okay, now it's time to study the plan for preparation."
