(philian point of view)
after listening to Arkne's report that the ship's energy won't last much longer, I called Moon Palace. I actually wanted to return this ship to Alterion, but after I made a call to this world, I called, the relationship between this world and Alterion seemed to be cut off and could not make any connection.it could be said that this was a one-way trip with no way back.
well, doing a summoning to Moon Palace was also not a bad thing.at least I didn't have to bother about finding shelter. I sat on the throne and saw the daughter of Aneria and the others leave.
in the throne room there was only me and Arkne and Upirina. For now, I ordered the little Arkne, ah, no. Arene to rest.Little girl like her had made an uncomfortable long journey, I was afraid that it would affect her growth in the future.
Arkne:"Your Majesty, insects like them, are they worth it?"
Filia: "yes Arkne, from the beginning this is what I was waiting for"
Upirina:"from the very beginning, Your Majesty?, have you planned this from the very beginning?"
Philia:"mostly yes.from the beginning because of my purpose and she was the same, I agreed to the agreement.I also realized that with the position of a princess would not be able to do much, she said, especially to give foreigners permission to enter the secrets of their country"
Arkne:"do you agree because you have the same goal?"
Filia: "can be said like that. Without any agreement, I will definitely go and finish off the monster, but suddenly the opportunity is sent to the door. I had expected that his hasty decision to make a deal in panic would be a wrong decision.it was finally proven that he was unable to keep his promise.that was what I was after from the start".
Upirina:"have you guessed such a thing, and then wanted to take advantage, Your Majesty!?"
arkne and Upirina tone became even more excited after hearing my reason.well I did not lie. indeed that was my reason at first. With my strength, I was sure that I would gain some benefits.
Filia:"I originally only wanted to take a small advantage, but after calling Moon Palace, I realized that in this world we still needed a supply of resources. the fastest way to get resources is to conquer, so I immediately decided to take control of this country"
Arkne:"but wouldn't it be easier if we made a direct attack and seized all the resources, Your Majesty?"
that is indeed true, but that way will do more harm to me, especially at this time when the resources in Moon Palace are being limited.
Filia:"direct war is a waste. If we can do it subtly and easily, why do it in such a rude and bar-barous way, we will only get a limited amount of resources, but it's all different if we control from behind. Besides we get an injection of resources on an ongoing basis, we also do not have to endure unnecessary problems"
Arkne:"so that way.if we conquer directly and roughly, we will be difficult to gain the trust of the insects and easy rebellion.if that happens, it will be, we must expend extra manpower and resources to deal with it. As expected, Your Majesty always thinks things through"
he was indeed worthy of a title as a commander.it was just that sometimes his rational thinking would be affected by his ruthless mind, so that was the importance of Upirina who had a calm mind to always be beside him as the vice commander.
Philia:"not only that, rebellion and war will lead to unnecessary deaths.I also consider people as resources to be employed, so losing them, it is the same as losing resources. if we take control from behind the scenes, we'll be able to take advantage of them more easily - after all they'll have more confidence in the old leader than the new leader they don't already know"
I stood up from the seat of the throne and walked away along with Arkne and Upirina.my goal was a treasure room to pick up and look at some items.I traced a long, sunny hallway, but it was a bit quiet until I finally arrived in front of a large door guarded by two female knights with spears and silver armor. along the corridor were many monster statues and knights who were actually Golems for the security guard layer of the treasure room.
"Your Majesty...!"
the two knights gave me a deep respect.well, I was actually a bit nervous about their behavior, but I should always behave to be a worthy ruler for them. Actually is my nervous face visible?. no, not visible, right?
Philia:"ya"
but I was surprised to be able to answer that calmly without a vibrating voice. Generally if you are nervous or hesitant, your voice will tremble when answering.is this possible effect of the title Holy Queen?. just wish it were like that.
I put my hand on the doorway and opened it. In fact, this door can be opened by anyone, but if I do not use my mana, once the door is open it will only be an ordinary room, at least it will be the Golem storage room. Those golems will attack unknown intruders.well, let's just say this is a trapdoor.
there was a staircase at the side that would circle around this sea of gold and head straight to the door opposite it. I climbed the stairs and saw the sea of gold from above. I even remember an old figure named Scrooge from an ancient animation left in the data bank.if I brought in a few billion GCs, who were here probably many times as many as I brought. in the distance I saw some knights pouring gold from chests and combining it with other gold. Behind them there were still rows of other treasure chests. all those treasure chests came from the fight with those monsters. It seemed like the result of the fight was not too bad.
in the midst of the golden sea was a little girl who shouted and gave orders to the knights to pour gold carefully. I saw the boy waving his little hand at me with a bright smile.I just greeted and let him continue his work.
I finally got to the end of the road and went down the stairs to go to the next door.This door is big and black. on the surface were engraved images of five dragons with gems of various colors in their mouths.In the middle of the door, there were carvings of a monstrous devil mouth and facing right at me. is the design I made a bit tacky?.well, no problem. at least this place will give a scary impression.
I put mana in the direction of a red Orb that was in front of me. The color contrasting with the door would make it striking and easy to find, but if anyone else tried it, it would be easy to find, they would only receive curse magic in return.
when I put mana into it, the red Orb glowed with a black red aura attached.from the inside came out sharp red thorns that would be wrapped around me, but the thorn immediately shattered like glass.the other five gems immediately emitted light and the door slowly split open.
"Your Majesty, welcome back"
a soft and sweet voice echoed throughout the room.I will always recognize this voice.
Filia:"Selene.thank you. How are you?"
"i'm very good"
Filia: "thank you, work hard for you for looking after Moon Palace"
although her voice echoed here, but I knew that the real Selene was in the central tower to watch over everything that was happening on the flying island. Her job of monitoring and watching the knights was quite busy, she said, so he had just greeted me this time.well, after all the treasure room was the closest place to him right now.
I immediately entered this bright room.in the interior is a very spacious room with various objects.on each wall there are shelves that store many items and equipment. there are also many glass shelves like in a traditional store with a variety of cards in it. The glass used is a layer of magic and protection spells, so it will be very safe here. all the objects stored here were at least from the Epic Tier and above. I continued walking and looked at the five altars with various different characteristics. one of the altars froze with thick white smoke like ice.This altar froze because of the coldness of an ice bow on it, the other altars lit up like flames with a black spear streaked with flames like magma on it. These five altars were special storage altars for top Legendary weapons that almost matched divine items.
indeed I could make them into cards and put them inside glass shelves, but for aesthetic sake, I bought this altar with some money from the system. After thinking about it, it seemed like I was indeed wasteful of money.
although many treasures are rare, but I went straight to the direction where the Soul Orb was stored and retrieved it. In fact if noticed further, this super spacious room has a dark side in one corner. the dark corner was in stark contrast to this bright, faint room, but it could be seen a humanoid high metallic luster standing in that corner. the height of the object was about four or five meters, but because it was enveloped by darkness, it would be difficult to see its entire form.
I only watched it for a few moments and went to another smaller room.The room was empty and inside was only a glowing blue magic Aray.
Philippines:"Arkne, Upirina"
"yes, Your Majesty"
Filia: "you know what to do with the next step.I'll be in the healing period right now, so do it well"
"well, Your Majesty"
the two of them answered simultaneously then immediately left this place.The door that had been there slowly began to illusory and disappeared without a trace. I stepped into the magic Aray and took out a brightly glowing Soul Orb.
succeeding or failing will be decided at this time...
