Vltava's words left Emerald momentarily at a loss for words, and the little girl looked to Moen for help.
"Take it."
Moen thought for a moment and then spoke.
"You can buy another one later to return to your advisor."
Moen smiled. Since Master Voltava was willing to give the Lyra key to Emerald, then let Emerald accept it. Master Voltava even brought up the concept of "lineage of master and disciple," so he seemed to be very serious. There was no need to go against his wishes.
"Is it really possible?"
Emerald stared blankly at Moen, hesitating to reach out and take the key.
"Don't feel burdened, child. Your master is a genius, so he doesn't need it. I've been studying for so many years, so I don't need it either. Right now, you need Lila the most."
Master Voltava smiled and began to persuade Jade. His words were quite true; among the three of them, only the novice Jade needed Lila's company.
"Why am I not happy at all after you said that?"
Lila, who had been all smiles, was deeply hurt. What hurt her the most was that Voltava wasn't just spouting nonsense, and she really couldn't refute it. Neither Voltava nor Moen needed her; she was of no use to them.
"Then I will accept this as a disgrace."
Under the persuasion of Moen and Voltava, Emerald no longer hesitated and reached out to take the silver key from the Lyra Celestial Spirit.
Voltava and Lila terminated their long-standing contract.
"But I'm also a little reluctant to part with it."
After the contract was dissolved, Lila suddenly spoke with a smile, which made Master Voltawa smile and shake his head at her.
He and Lila had been together for many years, and their relationship was far from ordinary. In fact, he felt that it was good to hand over the key sooner rather than later, as it was better for everyone than for him to suddenly die of old age one day.
"It's not like we'll never see each other again. I should still be able to live for a few more years."
Voltava smiled and said that at his age and with his experience, he had become quite detached from these matters of life and death.
"I must live a long life; I don't want to say goodbye to my friends so soon."
Lila said earnestly to Voltava that, as a Protoss, she should be more indifferent to life and death.
After all, over the long years, they have seen countless people off. Of course, everyone has a different personality; some Star Spirits may have become numb, while others may still care.
Lila clearly values a friend like Voltava, a friendship that has lasted since their youth.
"."
Moen watched silently from the side, and he could probably understand the feelings between Voltava and Lila. For some reason, he had a feeling that "the elves are eternal and one will live on forever".
Unlike Moen, Emerald was already teary-eyed, as if she could already picture herself parting ways with Lila when she was old.
This seems to be something every Celestial Spirit Mage goes through as they live to old age. It's really cruel when you think about it; it's cruel for Celestial Spirit Mages, and it's cruel for Celestial Spirits as well.
It might be even more cruel for the Protoss, since they not only have to face the birth, aging, sickness and death of their friends, but also the situation where they are defeated and fail to protect their friends, resulting in their friends being killed.
Therefore, Moen felt that it was normal for the Protoss to be indifferent to life and death, even if it was a self-preservation mechanism.
With Jade and Lila signing the contract, Master Voltawa and Jade have officially completed the handover of the key.
Moen hadn't expected things to end this way. He didn't know if it was just a whim of Master Voltava, but now that things had come to this, he probably wouldn't have the heart to back out. He couldn't very well ask for the key back.
"Your father will still have to collect the keys for you."
Moen reminded Emerald that it would be best to find another Lyra Celestial Key. Lyra had accompanied Master Voltava for so many years, and seeing it through to the end would be a way of not betraying that friendship.
"Yes, Master, I understand."
Jade readily agreed. She was also moved by the friendship between Lila and Master Voltava, so she would ask her father to do his best to help find it, but such things really depend on fate.
"Learn the harp well."
With the matter settled, Moen, Lila, and Voltava jointly taught Emerald a class. Three harp masters served Emerald alone, which was a great blessing for her.
However, opportunities for the three of them to teach together are rare. Whenever Moen goes out on a mission, one of them will be missing for ten days to half a month. As the master, he actually spends the least amount of time teaching Emerald.
Half a year later, it was the year X779. In those six months, Moen hadn't spent a very long time teaching Emerald, but he was the most important one because only he could guide Emerald to connect with Lyra.
This greatly frustrated Lyra, the Celestial Spirit of Lyra. She said more than once that the position of Celestial Spirit of Lyra should be given to Moen, although in reality it should not be given. Moreover, Moen also said that if it should be given, it should be the Celestial Spirit King who should give up his position, since he is not only able to influence the stars of Lyra.
"Great, you're getting better at it, aren't you?"
Under the starry sky, Moen guided Emerald to resonate with the stars of Lyra.
As it turned out, his disciples were indeed hard to match him in this regard. Even with his constant guidance, it took Jade half a year to just get the hang of it and be able to absorb a small amount of star magic for her own use.
Unfortunately, she couldn't wear the Saint Cloth, so she couldn't take shortcuts like Moen.
Moen had discovered before that the Saint Cloth could indeed help him quickly establish a connection with the star map in the sky, but these disciples had to establish a connection with the stars first before they were qualified to be granted the right to use the Saint Cloth, which was naturally very difficult.
Moen had practiced the "Pegasus Meteor Fist" for a long time but still couldn't communicate with the stars. If Emerald hadn't been there to help establish the connection, it would have been impossible for her to even get close to it in six months.
"Such pure magic—is this the power of the stars?"
Feeling the starlight magic falling from the sky, Emerald was extremely shocked. This pure magic flowed into her body, making her feel refreshed. This was normal, as magic is the source of life for all things. Pure magic flowing into the body would naturally make her feel refreshed.
This is actually the bug of "Dragon Slayer Mages". Those "Dragon Slayer Mages" can quickly replenish their magic power by eating fire, iron, and lightning, and suddenly become full of magic power and vigor, which gives them a huge advantage over ordinary mages.
Moen's "Celestial Spirit Magic," which draws upon the power of the stars to power himself, is in some ways even more monstrous than "Dragon Slayer Magic."
After all, "fire, iron, and thunder" are not necessarily everywhere, but the stars in the sky are always high up and can be seen no matter where you are.
