I just went around the academy and looked around casually. Even so, since this academy is so vast, it would take me almost a full day to get around. After making sure that the academy's actions were running on the path it should be, I was satisfied and left the academy to return to the Palace.
When I arrived at the palace, a green silk-haired woman knelt before me. His face lowered respectfully without daring to look at me.
Filia:"Thank your head."
As she raised her head, her beautiful and gentle face gave her the impression that she was a kind-hearted gentle older sister. His emerald green eyes looked at me with great respect and adoration.
Philia:"Your body has just been rebuilt. You have to start all over again."
Nara:"Yes, Your Highness. I am so grateful to be back from that endless abyss of darkness. I swear I will always serve you, Your Majesty."
Phile:"I take your oath. Right now, Arkne will help you level up and restore your strength."
Filia:"Thank you, Your Majesty."
I told him to go to the guild warehouse to pick up equipment suitable for him. With good equipment, he would be able to level up faster.
Philia:"Arkne, I'm handing him over to you."
Arkne:"I understand."
Next, I need to think of a way to find more worlds and refine a star map that has been overdue for twelve billion years. Actually Moon Palace managed to find the other nine universes in such a short time was already very extraordinary.
It's all because we're looking for the universe through the approximations of the maps we have. With a few simple calculations, we managed to find nine worlds separated from the mainland. I'm sure, as long as the resources are sufficient, the Moon Palace will be able to repair the star map again.
In addition to the map showing the location of the universe, we also had to explore each universe to determine where the celestial bodies in it were, including planets and stars.
Philia:"Arkne, tell Mala to meet me immediately!."
Arkne:"As your orders, Your Majesty."
Arkne is leaving. In just a few minutes, Arkne is back with Mala.
Mala:"What are your instructions, Your Majesty?!."
He immediately knelt down with his head down. His voice was firm and loud like a member of the military.
Fili: "I want you to create a space base in every universe we visit and do a thorough mapping of that universe and also to mine the resources that exist in space. In addition, you also have to create a space ship assembly plant to find a way to another quadrant."
In fact:"I will soon lead the fleet to carry out your duties, Your Majesty."
Filia:"Good, go!"
Instead:"I'm sorry!."
Mala immediately left to carry out her duties. I feel very happy because I have subordinates that can be relied on like them.
Philia:"Arkne, you arranged everything. I want to rest."
I immediately used teleportation and immediately arrived at my room. I didn't go to sleep immediately, but thought of a way to speed up the exploration of the Moon Palace. But before that, it might not hurt to explore the universe that Moon Palace had discovered first.
I want to find the planet of life that exists in every universe. In Alterion only 1/3 trillion planets can be inhabited in each universe, the rest are gas planets, ice balls or fireballs. Such a minuscule number would be extremely difficult to find in the vast universe.
But I also don't have to worry. Not only do the planets of life have resources, but the planets that are not habitable also have many resources including various types of precious metals and minerals.
Even in the void it is also possible to hunt extraterrestrials and make them a resource. But no less important is, space itself is an almost infinite source of energy. Starting from the stars, dark energy, negative material, and so on, all of which are very useful for the Moon Palace.
Negative material is very important for Moon Palace. Apart from being a major source of energy, negative matter also plays a role in cross-light travel as well as the formation of stargates that help the mobility of Moon Palace troops.
With negative matter as well, Moon Palace can create a worm hole that can connect between two quadrants.
With such a thought in mind, it seemed worthy to give the order for the Moon Palace to gather more resources in space.
I suddenly sat down and remembered something.When I was still in Alterion, there were many blueprint designs of various types of weapons and equipment that we could not make due to limited resources. Now that Moon Palace has a lot of resources, can't I make those things?!.
The thought immediately flooded my head. I got up and contacted the workshop to hand over the blueprints to them and tell Arkne to gather the resources she needed.
I think I'm going to be a little busy...
.....
A week passed quickly without me noticing.
While I was working in the assembly workshop, Arkne came and told me that a welcoming event for new students would be held today.
Because I'm not too busy, so I want to go. I can leave the rest of my work to the working dwarves.
I cleaned myself first and changed into blue clothes. When I finished changing clothes and was ready to leave, I saw that Arene was waiting for me impatiently.
Arene was wearing the academy uniform that was white in the moon with a gold tire on her right arm. There are two types of armbands in Moonlight Academy, Namely: A golden tire with a crescent moon emblem signifying that he is a Banner Holder which means that the student is the best student in the academy. If any other student wanted that armband, then he would have to challenge the previous Banners Holder in the ring and win it. Thus, he was able to seize the title of that Banners Holder.
The second armband is a blue armband with a different emblem depending on student achievement. Students who have armbands are referred to as Title Holder. The Title Holder is a student who has certain achievements and whose abilities have been recognized by everyone including the teaching instructor. Currently in Moonlight Academy there were five students who had such armbands. One of them was Lusian, a man of the Celts. His abilities are above average and even beyond my expectations. He can become quite powerful in a short period of time.
He was currently at Tier one pinnacle and was referred to as the Son of Sword. He was given the nickname because his sword skills were very strong, especially during the second war in Helheim.
Arene: "Sister, are we leaving soon?"
Filia:"Yeah, come on!."
This time I did not use teleportation to go to the academy, but we went by ship. The distance between the academy and the palace was indeed a bit far, but with the flying ship, it only took me two minutes to arrive at that place.
.....
The Academy...
(Listian)...
Today is the day I have been waiting for the most. I am a princess who hails from Petram Empire on the other side of the monster mainland. One day, suddenly our country was attacked by foreigners. On the continent of glory, my country is a very powerful country, but when facing that person, the empire simply can't dwell. It was then that I knew that there was a very terrifying power in this world.
No matter how much the God of War attacked that person, they could be knocked down very easily. There is no other way for us to survive than by giving up. I thought that when the empire surrendered, that person would plunder all the wealth of our country, but he didn't. They built a strange gate connecting the glory continent and the monster continent.
The entire country was strong and the powerful academies on the monster land had been conquered by that power. At first I was wondering why they still had such a happy face after their country was defeated, but I finally found out.
The country that has lost and surrendered will never be touched by the power called Moon Palace, but the kingdom that has given up must be their subordinate and follow the orders of Moon Palace.
In addition, Moon Palace will choose people who have talent to bring to Moonlight Academy which is under the rule of Moon Palace. They said that people entering Moonlight Academy would learn a lot of new knowledge and would not be bridled.
How could such a thing happen?. How can they provide valuable knowledge for free and not curb?. I wouldn't believe something like that, but it turns out it's the real thing. Other than me having to obey the rules of Moon Palace, I can do things of my own free, including bringing the knowledge that I can back to the empire.
After three years of studying at Moonlight Academy, I learned a little of the power that Moon Palace calls it. It is only fitting that they do not curb people who have knowledge from them, because it is not necessary. With the power that Moon Palace has, it is impossible for people like us to fight back. It can be said that Moon Palace does not trust us, but they believe strongly in their own strength.
In that time, I studied harder and I ended up being selected as one of the lucky students to study directly at Moon Palace.
Knowing that I was so happy. I don't know if this is a misfortune or an advantage, but since my country became a vassal state of Moon Palace, my country has become much more advanced and stronger than before. His people also became more prosperous after I transferred what I learned from Moonlight Academy to the empire.
For this blessing, I promise to work even harder to thank Moon Palace.
There were a hundred other students selected besides me. They came from ten academies in the monster continent and the glory continent. We were picked up using a very large starship in pitch black with the Moon Palace emblem on the hull.
Although it's not my first time seeing it, it's my first time aboard a starship. The inside is very spacious with a very complete range of facilities. The length of the starship that picked me up was about four hundred meters, but according to what the Moon Palace people said, this ship was a small ship that only functioned as a transport ship.
Obviously, knowing this made us all surprised. This is so incredible.
Listen:"I'm getting a little impatient to see what Moon Palace looks like."
"Truly, so am I."
"Yes, so am I."
I smiled and looked towards the two girls sitting to my right. We met and became friends very quickly. I love their simple and cheerful personalities, they are named Adeline and Roselle
Adeline comes from a small village on the continent of glory who originally studied in the Dominate misty valley while Roselle was the son of an elder from the Medicine Forest Domination. They managed to grab one of the top ten spots in their academy, so they had the chance to go to Moon Palace.
Roselle: "I wonder what kind of place it is."
Adeline:"Obviously there must be a lot of talent and strong people there."
Hearing the conversation of the two of them, I had to nod in agreement. After all it was the center of the Moon Palace's power. It's impossible if there aren't many strong people there, right?!.
In just a moment, we arrived at a world with a bright red sky. I looked at the scene through the window in amazement. I've never seen a scene like this.
"It's so weird and wonderful."
"I didn't know that there was still a world with a sky like this."
"..."
The other children have started to make noise about the strangeness of this world. In space, I could see a beautiful red giant moon with a bit of a creepy feel.
There:"Instructures, where are we?."
I asked one of the instructors from Moonlight Academy named Farias. I knew that the instructor of the Firias was from the legendary Moon Palace.
Sirias:"At this time we have arrived in Helheim, where the Moon Palace is currently located."
Adeline:"Currently?."
Kirias:"That's true. Moon Palace can be moved anywhere as Your Majesty wishes. But at this time, Moon Palace made Helheim a temporary stopover."
While listening to the explanation from the Instructor, the ship continued to fly across the sky. The ship flew higher and higher until I could finally see the surface of the curved world which reminded me that the shape of the world was round like an uneven ball.
The ship stopped at a height, as if waiting for something. In addition to our ship, there were three other ships that also floated in the air. I don't know what kind of people are in those ships because I can't see them.
After a few moments of waiting, the ship moved again. I saw another ship advancing first. The tip of their ship disappeared slowly as if the sky was swallowing the body of the ship. I felt as if my body had broken through a thin layer that could hardly be felt.
Listen:"What's going on?!"
I looked at my body in curiosity. The feeling of penetrating something as mysterious as that, made me doubt if there was anything wrong with my body.
Mirias:"Don't worry. The ship had just broken through the protective layer of Moon Palace."
Hearing that, I became even more relieved and did not think about it anymore. When I looked out the window, I was shocked. The sky that was originally red, was now turning into a blue sky with white clouds floating about, as if I had just crossed another world.
Graoooo...!!
Ahhh....!!
Everyone who looked out the window was shocked and shouted. Outside the window was a gigantic golden eyeball that was extremely frightening. The eyeballs looked at us coldly and looked terrifying.
After watching us for a while, the eyeball blinked and moved away. We immediately ran to the side of the window to see what creatures had such large eyeballs. We saw thousands of giant dragons with silver scales flying with our spaceship. Such a sight made everyone exclaim in astonishment.
Among those giant dragons, there were about a dozen small dragons a few meters away that flew rapidly. They made many beautiful maneuvers among the large dragons while roaring in a funny voice, signifying that they were young dragons.
But the most amazing thing is that there are people who ride the little dragons. The men wore special headgear that covered their faces.
But from the transparent glass on their faces, I could see the happy faces of the dragon riders. They look the same age as us which is made up of men and women. They were wearing white moon-colored clothes that fluttered in the wind.
As if looking at us who were watching them, they waved at our ship. Everyone on board cheered in awe and happiness, especially the boys.
Dragon riders. A mysterious figure who is admired by everyone in ancient storybooks and fairy tales. I understood the wishes of that boy who was mainly expecting adventure.
Firias:"They are your seniors. Looks like they want to show you off."
The instructor told us while smilingly looking at the dragon riders.
"Instructures, they're amazing. Can we also ride a dragon like that one day?."
The boy asked with an excited face to the instructor.
Firias:"When you arrive at Moon Palace, you can take part in various extracurricular activities at the academy including extracurricular dragon knights. There will be a special instructor who will teach you."
"really?. This is so incredible. Moon Palace is awesome!"
"That's right. I'm impatient."
The dragon riders crossed the sky very quickly and disappeared among the giant dragons.
I still saw those awesome dragons, but suddenly there was a huge shadow covering their bodies. When I looked ahead, I could only open my mouth without saying a word.
(The end of this chapter.)
If I have time, maybe I'll update tomorrow morning or noon. So happy waiting...
I also have to apologize for the delay these few days.
