Chapter 1111: Igor
Chapter 1111: Igor
Qingbao looked up at him.
Indeed, this was a powerhouse... Qiao Sang reflected inwardly, thinking that it was no wonder this person, like Teacher Mikara, could move freely in the air without relying on a familiar.
After all, since Qingbao had been exposed to the public and participated in the Strongest High-Class Beast Companion Match, she hadn't heard any audience members recognize Qingbao's legendary familiar status at the scene.
People searched online and used Beast Identifiers, but this elder only needed a glance, without any search tools, to recognize Qingbao's identity, showing the depth of his knowledge.
Qingbao's identity, even on Blue Star, might not be recognized outside the Dragon Nation Hollow Region, as it wasn't as well-known as the Wind Deity Cloud.
Qiao Sang put on a surprised look and asked, "How did you know?"
Pausing, she inquired, "Are you from Blue Star?"
"Not really", the elder chuckled. "I just read some books about legendary familiars in the interstellar legends and have some impressions from them."
As he spoke, he glanced at Qingbao and the others, then looked at the black-haired, black-eyed girl and asked, "Are you from Blue Star?"
Qiao Sang nodded and said, "Yes."
The elder's tone was probing, "Then this Clear Hidden Sprite?"
"It's my familiar", Qiao Sang admitted openly.
The elder's expression became complex again.
He had seen Beastmasters bonded with legendary familiars before, but they were all at the peak of power and strength. The young girl in front of him, however, radiated the vital essence of a deity that matched her age, not someone pretending to be young.
Although he had some suspicions when he saw the ID Bracelet on the Clear Hidden Sprite's claws, getting confirmation was still hard to believe.
How did such a young child manage to bond with a legendary familiar...
The elder collected his thoughts, controlled his facial expression, and reflected, "I used to want to bond with a legendary familiar myself, but I never found the right one."
He suddenly realized he had said too much and changed the subject, asking, "Are you here to study?"
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, you could say that."
Apart from the different methods of learning with classmates at school, the essence was the same—getting stronger and acquiring knowledge. As long as Teacher Mikara was with her, it counted as studying, no matter where she was.
The elder asked again, "Are you a student at Yan Tian University?"
Yan Tian University, the top-ranked institution in the interstellar system, was one of the oldest educational institutions on Flame Sky Star. It was said to have been established when humans officially began living on Flame Sky Star. Known for its excellent academic level and teaching quality, it produced students who went on to serve in the Beastmaster League every year.
Even more impressively, many Interstellar Cup champions had graduated from Yan Tian University, so no one ever questioned its ranking.
In the past, Qiao Sang would have been flattered by such a question, but now, she just smiled and calmly replied, "Yes."
“I’m not.”
Pointing to a plate of chicken wings in front of her, she said:
“These are delicious. You should try them.”
Seeing that Qiao Sang didn’t want to elaborate, the old man didn’t press the topic. He picked up the chicken wings Qiao Sang recommended, put them in his mouth, and said while chewing:
“The chicken wings here are infused with aromatic spices, which fully bring out their delicious flavor.”
Qiao Sang looked at him and asked, “You’re a regular here?”
The old man smiled and replied, “Not exactly a regular, but I’ve eaten here a few times.”
After a pause, he added:
“I have a habit of checking the ingredients and recipes of the food at a restaurant before eating. After all, health is important. Just because we are Beastmasters and our bodies are stronger than ordinary people, it doesn’t mean we can ignore the components of the food we eat.”
Just from the way you floated down here, are you really just a bit stronger than ordinary people... Qiao Sang thought to herself, noting that this person was quite particular. It seemed that he didn’t eat junk food, which was a significant loss of one of life’s pleasures. Then, she thought of something and said:
“This habit of yours reminds me of Igor. I’ve read about him, and he has the same habit.”
The old man’s hand paused for a moment, then he resumed his normal demeanor and smiled, saying:
“Is that so? It’s truly an honor.”
Igor, the champion of the previous Interstellar Cup, was almost a household name. Qiao Sang wasn’t surprised that the old man knew about him.
They chatted a bit more. After finishing their meal, the old man glanced at Qingbao, put down his utensils, and suddenly said:
“I can’t eat your food for free. I have a message for you.”
“What is it?” Qiao Sang asked, playing along.
The old man picked up a napkin, wiped his mouth, and said:
“In a week, you can take Clear Hidden Sprite to Wolin. You might find something there.”
Take it there? Qingbao looked at the old man again.
“Wolin?” Qiao Sang asked, puzzled.
“It’s a forest on the north side of Azure Light Island, usually shrouded in mist. Familiars often get lost there, so not many go there anymore.”
Qiao Sang asked curiously:
“What will be there in a week?”
The old man smiled slightly:
“You’ll have to see for yourself. You might find something, or you might find nothing.”
With that, he stood up and said:
“Thank you for the meal. I’ll be going now. I hope we meet again in the future.”
Without waiting for Qiao Sang to respond, he turned and walked away, floating down to the ground.
What a mysterious expert... Qiao Sang looked down at the old man’s back as he walked away, finding his demeanor to be quite carefree and unrestrained.
“Dodu!”
Just then, a Dodu leaped down, blocking the old man’s path. It pointed angrily at the seat the old man had just vacated and called out.
The old man’s aura of mystery dissipated, and he fished out some cash from his pocket, hurriedly saying, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I forgot.”
The Dodu took the money, huffed, and hopped back up the tree.
The old man straightened his back, regained his composed demeanor, and continued on his way.
Qiao Sang: “...”
Even someone who can float can forget to pay. Suddenly, he doesn’t seem so mysterious anymore...
Wolin, huh... Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts and called up to the Dodu with the “16” mark on its body:
“Check, please.”
...
The old man walked through the dense forest. When he reached a spot where no familiars were around, his face suddenly contorted and changed.
A few seconds later, a young man with deep-set features and a smile on his lips appeared in the forest. Despite his young appearance, his demeanor carried the weight of years of experience.
If Qiao Sang were there, she would have immediately recognized him as the champion of the previous Interstellar Cup, Igor. (End of Chapter)
