Still Loved Even In The New World
CHAPTER 85: The Moon Palace
His Majesty's condition was getting better, and continued to improve, but the empty part of his left hand still looked a little miserable. This is the result of our inability to protect His Majesty, but even so, His Majesty did not even say anything to us. One day, I will have to make up for this failure, at any cost.
Upirina and I continued to wait until His Majesty woke up from his sleep. During this time, the airship continued to float in the air. In addition, the monster bodies and various drop items had been found and piled up in the storage warehouse.
Not yet convinced that all the drop items have been found, I still ordered them to continue searching and slightly expand the search area.
The search continues until two days have passed. His Majesty's body shone with a strong golden light like the light of the morning sun that was capable of blinding the eyes. Did he finally wake up?. Slowly, His Majesty's eyes that had been closed for two days began to open. Seeing this condition, Upirina and I immediately knelt down to greet His Majesty.
Together with the golden light that began to dim and disappear, the sparkle of eyes that were like a starry sky looked beautiful and innocent, but still exuded the pressure and majesty that a true ruler deserved.
Consciously, I and Upirina lowered their heads and faced the floor to give the highest honor to His Majesty who had just awakened from his sleeping condition.
Filia:"Lift your heads!."
Hearing His Majesty's voice sounding grand despite being childish, I raised my head and watched His Majesty sitting on the throne quietly.
"Welcome back, Your Majesty!."
Such words came from me and Upirina. This was not only a feeling of respect, but also words that came out directly from my innermost heart. A sense of admiration, respect, and pleasure mixed into one for His Majesty.
Philia:"Yeah.how long have I been unconscious?."
Arkne:"According to time, you should have been asleep for two days, Your Majesty!."
Although there is no clear division of day and night in the world, the time on the airship clearly calculates the corresponding time.
Filia:"So so. I want to ask you guys something."
Arkne:"Please say Your Majesty."
Filia:"It seems I felt a trace of Selene's activated power. What's going on?."
Arkne:"I will explain it Your Majesty. Actually it's like this...."
I explained everything that had happened in these two days to His Majesty and asked His Majesty to take a decision on this matter.
Filia:"Just do that later. For now, how is the monster?."
Arkne:"We can confirm that the monster is dead, Your Majesty. In addition, we have searched and collected the drop item as well as the monster's body and stored everything in a warehouse, waiting for His Majesty to make a decision."
Filia:"Good job. Sorry to bother you."
"No, Your Majesty. We don't feel bothered at all. This is our duty and duty."
Your Majesty is really kind. This is why we are all proud to serve His Majesty. Because of that as well, the entire Moon Phoenix Guild had given up all of its trust to His Majesty. It could be said that His Majesty is the absolute ruler of everything for us. Oh... Your Honour.
His Majesty stood up from his throne and walked past me.
Filia:"Take me to the storeroom."
"Okay, Your Majesty!!."
Me and Upirina followed His Majesty closely. I noticed that small back that gave off a feeling of boundless elegance. In my memory, His Majesty's appearance was a dignified and formidable ruler, but with his current appearance, the noble one gave an even more graceful and beautiful impression even though he looked like a little girl.
If her former appearance depicted a transcendent emperor, then now her appearance clearly depicted as a noble princess like a holy maiden.
A short while later, we arrived at a room heavily guarded by four Tier two knights with their combat-ready complete equipment. On the left and right of the door to the room, there was a four-winged angel statue holding a spear in its right hand and a shield shield in its left hand. Maybe the statue just looks like an ordinary marble statue, but actually the statues were Golems made using monster bone materials and various kinds of rare metals with a strength of no less than Tier three. When fighting, even Tier three would have a hard time fighting against one of them because Golems had a strong defense.
The huge door slowly crackled and split into two, showing the inside filled with neatly arranged items at every corner and wall. His Majesty stopped and watched the entire room.
Philia:"Arkne, have you started to identify?."
Arkne:"No, Your Majesty, we await your decision."
Filia:"It really doesn't matter if you identify it first. So, did you find the Soul Orb of that monster?."
Arkne:"His Majesty."
I led His Majesty towards the center of the room. There was a tall platform on which he placed a round pearl with a faint white light. All around the platform was a protective magic formation to keep the Orb safe.
His Majesty paused for a moment while looking at an incomplete skeleton on the left of the item pile. The skeleton had a strange skull shape and a pair of large horns were black in color, although the horns attached to its skull were black, the researchers said, but the other bones were pure white like oyster pearls taken from the deep ocean.
Filia:"The material is legendary. Is this the remnant of Soul Eater?."
The strength of a Tier five monster was truly terrifying, even with the attacks launched by His Majesty, the Monster still left behind its skeleton and bones. Can't compare to the other monsters that attacked us, not even them leaving any residue left. Only drop items thrown into the distance can be retrieved. The rest of the drop items below the peak level that were still left on the battlefield were also wiped into dust along with the attack. That's why the items that can be collected are much less than the amount that we should get. At least there are only thousands that can be taken and utilized.
Filia:"Save epic level equipment and materials that we get. For the item below, you can share it with the golden knight."
Arkne:"As your Majesty wishes."
Filia:"Oh, I forgot something. If there is an item that you think is suitable for your own use or that can be used by the Phoenix legion, you can pick it up, but if there is a Legendary item, it should be stored for future needs."
"Your Majesty"
I also glanced at the expression of Upirina who looked happy and full of gratitude for His Majesty's gift. The good that His Majesty has given us has exceeded what we have gained since childhood.
His Majesty again walked towards the platform and took that Tier five Soul Orb and carried it. Before Her Majesty saved that Soul Orb, Upirina stepped forward and said something.
Upirina:"Sorry, Your Majesty. Do you want to use that Soul Orb?."
Philia:"Yes, if I do not use it, then the injury that is in my hand will not be healed."
Upirina:"Please wait a moment Your Majesty, with your current condition, the success ratio will decrease. If, if it fails then...."
Sally:"It's okay. I won't fail."
Upirina:"But..."
Filia:"Take it easy. I'm not gonna do anything without certainty."
Her Majesty stepped forward and convinced Upirina. Although I don't want His Majesty to take any risks either, but if His Majesty has already decided on something, then no one can stop him.
Philia:"I will only absorb this Orb. For a month or two, I'll have to rely on you to take care of me."
"As you wish, Your Majesty."
When we are needed by His Majesty is the happiest moment for me. Nothing exceeds this.
Arkne:"But Your Majesty, where are you going to do the absorption?. If done on this ship, the energy left on this ship is only enough to support for ten days."
Hearing what I said, His Majesty seemed to be pondering over something. In just a few seconds, His Majesty raised his head and revealed sparkling eyes.
Filia:"Bring this ship to its maximum height!."
I don't know what His Majesty will do, but if it's His Majesty's order, then His Majesty must have thought of a proper plan. Without delay, I directly contacted the control department and gave orders to those who were in accordance with His Majesty's instructions.
Although it was faint, I could feel the ship increasing in height. A few minutes later, the airship stopped increasing its altitude. I along with Upirina followed Her Majesty out of the ship and stood on the deck of the ship.
All I saw around was an empty sky with a blackish-red sky that was darker than what I had seen in the beginning. I saw a small transparent blue hologram screen emerging from my hand. Read the data and statistics displayed on the screen and report them to His Majesty.
Arkne:"Right now we're in the Mesosphere, Your Majesty."
His Majesty nodded and replied with a faint 'um' without turning around and still looked at the empty expanse of sky in the distance with nothing as far as the eye could see.
"*C* pieces from eternal heaven and falling into the mortal world.a dream place for mortal beings who consider themselves noble.come «Moon Palace»"
I listened to the chant spoken by His Majesty neatly like a beautiful song echoing in the void of the sky.
I could see enormous energy gathering in the distance. The energy was cruel and raging. If anyone dared to enter that energy storm, their bodies would explode as turbid and violent energy would infiltrate and enter their bodies.
The gathered energy grew denser until space suffered an enormous black rift. It was fortunate that the crack only sucked up the energy in the speckled sky, if it absorbed everything, it was even possible that the entire land would enter into the crack because of the enormous, gaping size of the hole in the sky.
Slowly, from the inside of that black space rift appeared the tip of the flying island. The tip is shaped conical down like an upside down mountain with the longer the part that looks bigger. Many giant roots dangle at the bottom of the island. At some end of the roots are small islands that can accommodate a small town that can accommodate several thousand people.
When the whole island, ah. As the entire flying continent was visible, it had two levels, top and bottom. The two halves were joined together by the roots of an enormous tree. The roots are a series of millions of smaller tree roots that fuse into hundreds of thousands of stronger and larger roots.
The lower level is smaller and contains a different small forest and housing with the upper level containing houses as well as white-walled or metallic skyscrapers. Unlike the smaller bottom and like a view of the village, at the top there are many tall white-walled buildings that are inside the high and thick circular walls. An extremely dense forest surrounded the two kilometer high and seven hundred meter thick barrier wall. A gigantic palace that stood in the middle of the flying continent was as the center of the flying continent. In the interior of the wall there are also many plants and large trees that are neatly treated without damaging the beauty of the city and palace environment. The city itself was vast and divided into seven layers. Each layer would be bounded by a wall as a barrier that surrounded like a ring.
The entire flying continent was protected by a kind of transparent blue protector that surrounded the entire place without leaving any room to break through. The best view was not only that.from a distance there were already many white and golden dragons flying around the flying continent. Some of the dragons were perched on small islands at the ends of the roots while roaring towards the sky.
Moon Palace, the fallen paradise...
