Star Fortress,

Strands of sunlight shine on the towering city walls, emitting a magnificent glow through the prismatic crystals.

This is the largest trading city in the 'Falling Star Cave' and also the gateway to the 'Falling Star City'.

Many oasis caravans came here like pilgrims, amazed at the prosperity here, and curious about the other Fallen Star Oases behind the Star Fortress.

Unfortunately, most people have no chance to see it. All they can see is this magnificent corner that the "City of Falling Stars" is willing to show.

at this time,

Behind the Star Fortress, in an unfathomable place that cannot be demarcated by the conventional east, west, south, and north, stands a city that is even larger and more majestic than the Star Fortress.

The city wall is not as tall as that of the Star Fortress, but a quick glance at the size of the city shows that it is at least several times the size of the Star Fortress.

Inside, there are tall towers with spires, topped with magnificent orbs that emit a faint blue glow, like stars dotted in the city.

Guarding the center of this majestic city is a giant hexagonal crystal that is slightly tilted and perhaps thousands or tens of thousands of meters high.

...

...

This giant hexagonal crystal has existed since the founding of Falling Star City. It is the symbol of Falling Star City and is still shocking no matter how many times you see it.

Starting from the Xinghui Fortress, the Three Princesses' convoy took a special passage and drove straight in.

Afterwards, the third princess went straight to the palace without stopping for a moment.

…

…

A court meeting was going on at this time.

Sitting high on the throne is the monarch of Falling Star City who holds worldly power, Xingler XIII.

A dignified man with slightly graying hair but few wrinkles on his face.

He doesn't look old, but he is actually over 150 years old. He has been in this position for hundreds of years, and more than a dozen of his sons have died.

However, the only one who could be outlasted by him was his useless son.

Here, only the most outstanding royal descendants are qualified to be granted the honor of princes and princesses and enjoy true royal treatment. Otherwise, they are just aristocrats with royal blood.

Among all his children, Xingler XIII liked his youngest daughter the most. She was well-behaved, intelligent and gifted.

She was awarded the title of the Third Princess at an early stage.

Much better than the dozens of sisters before her.

When he thought of his little daughter who had gone out for experience and finally returned, Xingler XIII smiled like a kind old grandfather.

"Let little Irene wait in the study."

He turned his attention back to the court meeting and listened to the discussions of the ministers and nobles.

We were discussing something...a rather big and unusual matter.

A brave outside world.

"From what I understand, this new world called 'Blue Star' is likely to have obtained treasures left behind by an ancient civilization. It has the means to slow down erosion, and perhaps other things as well."

"Your Majesty, I propose to send elites to enter the Blue Star World to investigate and obtain this treasure."

"Your Majesty, I agree with this proposal. It would be a waste of natural resources if this kind of technological heritage fell into the hands of the native world of Blue Star. Only in the hands of our Fallen Star City can it truly shine."

"I object! Don't forget what happened to 'Suya no Sato'!"

"The Village of Suye is entering the battlefield to fight against the evil god camp without knowing its own strength. We are not fighting against the minions and servants of the evil god, so how could we attract the attention of the evil god camp?"

"Humph! Foolish!"

"Humph! Coward!"

"snort!……"

"snort!……"

The two ministers seemed ready to roll up their sleeves and fight. They were not just pretending. If they couldn't convince someone verbally, they would try to convince him physically. This palace had been renovated more than a dozen times in the past hundred years, which was one of the reasons why the ministers were fighting.

We won the fight, it makes sense, and there is nothing wrong with adopting the suggestions.

but,

Xingler XIII had already made a decision on this matter.

"During this period, the depths of the strange world have been changing unpredictably. A war broke out in the evil god camp. It is even rumored that the indescribable evil god seems to have taken action. It is a time of trouble, so..."

"Don't meddle in Blue Star's affairs."

"This is an order!"

One of the nobles moved his throat, but was attracted by His Majesty's gaze and finally said nothing. He lowered his head to show that he understood.

There are indeed troubled times, but the most fundamental reason for not intervening is...

Afraid of being affected!

The tragic situation of Xuye Township was in front of us! That was a dominant force that was much more powerful than their Falling Star City, but it was still reduced to ashes in a day and a night.

Of course, they did not support Blue Star, they just went there quietly and took away Blue Star's heritage without making any noise.

It is highly unlikely to attract the attention of the evil god camp.

but,

"How precious can a piece of technological heritage be? Isn't the heritage of our Falling Star City enough?"

This little gain is dispensable to their Falling Star City.

In comparison, it involves considerable risks.

Moreover, their Falling Star City is quite large. Even if other large oases leave traces on the Blue Star, they are too weak to attract attention, let alone the overlord-level forces.

Such a risk is not worth taking.

…

"It's not that we are afraid of the evil god camp. Our Falling Star City has been able to pass on for thousands of years. We rely not only on hiding ourselves, but also on having the means to survive in times of great crisis."

"In the past thousands of years, our ancestors were also targeted by the evil god camp, but they still survived in the end."

"When you become strong enough in the future, you will be qualified to know these secrets."

In the study,

Xingler XIII, with a kind face, was imparting his experiences to the third princess Irene.

"The core of our Oasis operation is to develop in a low-key manner. It's not impossible to explore ruins and dig up treasures, but we have to weigh the risks."

"Becoming rich overnight also means that we may disappear overnight. Only by making steady progress can our country and civilization go further and further."

Irene nodded, not quite understanding.

After her preaching father finished speaking, she began to narrate her own "adventure", from the start, to the journey, to the turning point, to the turning point again. Things that could have been summarized in a few sentences took her more than half an hour to talk about.

He talks a lot and chatters non-stop.

But perhaps it was because Xingler XIII was old. When people get old, they like to listen to stories, especially stories about the experiences of their descendants, and he listened with great gusto.

At some point it suddenly stopped.

A while ago,

Irene talked about her experience inspecting the No. 19 mining area, and enthusiastically talked about how she used strategies to catch several corrupt officials... All this was very normal.

But, on the way back, I encountered a regular evil spirit?

Encountering such a terrifying evil, how could you, a child, still be alive? Even if he went up, he would just be defeated.

Xingler XIII slowly typed a question mark.

"Little Irene, storytelling also requires basic logic." He frowned.

I was only halfway through when I heard,

"So, we met Sister Xitina. She is a Mythical Queen. She killed that terrible Guixie with one sword... If you don't believe me, you can call Captain Zel over to ask."

Xingler XIII can’t hold it anymore!

His Majesty the Myth?

This story is even more exaggerated than encountering a regular evil spirit! But little Irene said it with certainty, and it seemed that she was not joking.

Fall into a desperate situation.

Encounter His Majesty the Myth.

Miraculously, the evil core was found and killed with a sword!

Gained the friendship of His Majesty the Myth.

This... Even novels don't dare to write like this. The way Xingler XIII looked at his little daughter had changed, as if she was the daughter of destiny!

Soon, he called the captain of the guard, Zel, and asked people to learn about the situation from the other guards.

It's true!

If we squeeze out the water from little Irene's story, there is not a single bit of falsehood or exaggeration in the whole process.

One, most likely a Majesty from another realm?

As Xingler XIII pondered, his expression gradually became serious, much more serious than he had been at the court meeting just now.

The topic of the palace meeting was only 'Indigenous World Blue Star'.

In his eyes, it was not a big deal. He only needed to issue an order to restrain all the nobles and prevent them from interfering in the affairs of Blue Star. As the monarch, he could finalize this matter with just a few words.

But when a mythical master appears, that’s a big deal!

He needs to be extremely careful.

"If it's not handled properly, it will be a disaster. However, being able to have a relationship with His Majesty will be of great benefit to our Falling Star City. And the start is obviously good, thanks to little Irene."

"As for the rest, His Majesty proposed to buy the Stone of Eternal Glory..."

Thirteenth generation pondering.

He can make the final decision on such a deal.

But after much thought, he still asked his ancestors for advice.

I would like to ask one of the two guardians, the protector of falling stars, the explorer of the hidden star land, the ruler of the power of starlight, the favored one of the stars, His Majesty the great Bai Laizemon.

…

In the core area of ​​Falling Star City, a being wearing gorgeous clothes and with an extremely handsome face walked out under the starry sky.

He wore a crown, held a scepter in his hand, and his eyes were deep, as if containing the sea of ​​stars.

Xingler XIII, whose face looked much older, lowered his head slightly in front of this person, with a mixture of respect and fear. This was a fear that came from the instinct of life.

"...I see. Since a myth is coming to visit, I will go out to greet him."

He turned his head slightly and looked at Irene, "This little guy ran into that myth, right? Well, not bad."

He looked around for a moment.

Irene opened her eyes wide and looked at this living... no, this was the first time she saw this ancestor in person.

"Yes, ancestor, I am Irene~"

Even in front of her ancestor, the great Lord Bai Laizemon, she remained unafraid and recounted her experiences along the way in great detail.

quite a while,

The Falling Star Ancestor interrupted her.

"In that case, let little...little Irene go with me."

“No need to arrange a convoy.”

He shook his scepter slightly, and starlight suddenly spread out, and the surroundings seemed to have turned into a starry world.

As Bailezemon shouted "go", the starlight turned into a brilliant carpet, extending to the sky, holding up both him and Irene, and disappeared in front of the palace in a moment.

…

Star Fortress,

Apart from the waiter occasionally bringing food, Xitina was not disturbed during these days.

The nobles here were not clear about her identity. They only knew that she was a distinguished guest of the Third Princess and lived a secluded life.

suddenly,

At the highest point of the fortress, the Starlight City Lord turned his head and saw a starry avenue appearing from afar and rushing towards him.

"It's His Majesty!"

"I saw that one thirty years ago!"

"I saw that forty-seven years ago!"

The nobles were excited.

They all rushed to the highest point of the fortress, the place covered by starlight, to prepare for the welcome.

See,

The star carpet flew straight over and landed on a ground in the city in an instant.

That place, uh, seems to be the place where their Star Fortress entertains foreign guests?
