Chapter 853: Pure Moon Palace



"Lord Vaan! Will the Heavenreacher be accepting more people in the future?"

"Is it also true that only a select few who meet the requirements will have the opportunity to be sent to the moon, Lord Vaan?"

Shortly after Vaan's shocking announcement of moon colonization, countless questions were raised by the excited mass.

Everyone wanted the opportunity, but they also knew not everyone would get it. Even so, they couldn't help but feel hopeful about the future.

"As you all know, while it is true that we have established habitable living spaces in the sea of stars and on the moon, it is still limited," Vaan calmly mentioned.

"As such, we will only prioritize those with outstanding contributions to the country or those who could assist with the expansion of space colonies and the moon base. Of course, the latter must still be a citizen associated with the United Nations."

"It is only right that our own people will be prioritized over outsiders. That said, the quota will naturally increase along with the expansion of the space colonies and moon base."Nôv(el)B\jnn

"Although it isn't possible right now, everyone under the United Nations will get an opportunity to visit the sea of stars and explore the moon base in the future," Vaan stated.

The crowd quickly became rowdy once more with fervored discussions and excited gossip after listening to Vaan's statement.

Nevertheless, they all had the same doubts and concerns.

"What is the United Nations, Lord Vaan?" a person asked.

"The United Nations is an alliance between countries under my control, and its current members include the Seven Witch Kingdom, now called the Black Rose Empire, the Holy Knight Empire, the Great Ratholos Empire, and the Red Dragon Clan," Vaan answered.

"In the future, the United Nations may have more members. But right now, this is all we have and all who will be granted access to the space colonies and moon base via the

Heavenreacher."

"Of course, my United Nations welcomes all new members who wish to join and submit to my cause. However, don't expect to enjoy the same benefits for joining later than others," Vaan stated.

"Lord Vaan! Won't the other countries become jealous of the United Nations keeping a tight monopoly of this Heavenreacher and its associated benefits to themselves?" a humble farmer raised his concern.

"That's right!" a hot-blooded merchant chimed, adding, "It is unfair that only the United Nations gets to enjoy the benefits of the Heavenreacher! It should be equally shared with the rest of humanity!"

The moment the hot-blooded merchant uttered such words, it was as if the entire Sunpeak City went silent.

Even the people around him forcefully created space to distance themselves from him. They feared if they didn't do so, they would be associated with him.

As such, the hot-blooded merchanted was instantly singled out, and all attention was fixed on him.

Many people frowned with disagreement, while others smiled with anticipation as if they were looking forward to a good show as they stared at the fool.

At the same time, the hot-blood merchant instantly cooled down as he realized he was in deep trouble. When Vaan's gaze rested on him, his heart shivered with trepidation.

"What a foolish thing to say, Merchant from another country," Vaan coolly uttered.

"It is unfair that only my United Nations gets to enjoy the benefits of the Heavenreacher? It should be equally shared with the rest of humanity? Such courage, such boldness, such audacity!"

"How dare you come to this land and criticize others on what is fair and what is right," Vaan spat.

Although his voice was not loud, it was clear to everyone. But to the hot-blooded merchant, his words shook like thunder.

"In your own words, you should offer all the rooms in your home to strangers and also split all your wealth with them because that is only fair and the right thing to do for humanity, right?"

Although much fewer in number, the Pure Moon Palace's position as one of the Divine

Serpent Empire's four major forces was firm and undeniable.

Within the endless fog and mist covering the Divine Serpent Empire, the Pure Moon Palace was founded on a snowy mountain peak in its northeasternmost region.

At that moment, the Palace Mistress and Nine Moon Fairies were gathered inside an ice room, watching a recorded scene of what happened in the Black Rose Empire's Sunpeak City on one of the large, runic-engraved ice pillars.

On the other large, runic-engraved ice pillars, texts quickly appeared, seemingly matching the words spoken by the person of focus in the projected scene.

Although each of the Nine Moon Fairies was breathtakingly beautiful, there were no men around to admire or appreciate them.

All of them wore high-quality white-robed dresses and possessed mixed hair colors of black and white and fair complexions. Some also had black eyes, while others had blue eyes, but

none that were a mix of the two.

Only the Palace Mistress possessed full white hair and blue eyes among them.

Unlike the Nine Moon Fairies, who possessed mixed Darkan and Lunaran origins, the Palace Mistress was a pure-blooded Lunaran.

After they finished watching the scene between Vaan and the hot-blooded merchant, the seventh and youngest Moon Fairy, Sue Eversnow, frowned.

"That's the ruler of the northern countries? How could he let some nameless merchant ruffle

his feathers so easily? He's more disappointing than I thought," Sue Eversnow casually

commented.

"You can't say that about Lord Vaan, Sue. He is not as simple as you think," the third Moon Fairy, Levia Eversnow, chided before saying, "While it seems like Lord Vaan was scolding that foolish merchant, he was actually giving the other countries a warning."

"Those who wanted to pressure the North will have to think twice about the consequences of

their actions before making them-That is the kind of message Lord Vaan was trying to deliver through the foolish merchant," Fairy Levia stated.

"Hm? Lord Vaan? Did I hear that right, Levia? Do you have the hots for him or something? Why are you addressing him like that and defending him?" Fairy Sue teased as she changed the focus of the topic.

"..." Fairy Levia stared at Fairy Sue speechlessly before refuting, "What nonsense are you spouting, Sue? I was just stating the facts."

"Levia is right. You are underestimating Lord Vaan too much, Sue. Do you really think a disappointing person could have achieved so much in such little time? He is definitely a shrewd person," Palace Mistress Celestia Eversnow calmly stated.

"Even you are calling him Lord Vaan, Palace Mistress?" Fairy Sue was astonished.

However, Palace Mistress Celestia didn't feel like she had said anything wrong. She calmly replied, "What's wrong with addressing someone stronger than myself, Lord?"

"Do you think Lord Vaan doesn't deserve such respect and recognition despite slaying a Great

Devil, Sue?" Palace Mistress Celestia added.

"I..." Fairy Sue was tongue-tied, unable to reply.

She couldn't help but sigh and lament in her heart. It was so hard to crack a joke with her

sisters when they were so serious all the time.

Such was her dull life in the Pure Moon Palace. 'Ah, woe is me,' Fairy Sue mourned.
