Chapter 1245 - 1245: Spring Shadows of the Vernal Day

The planning of the Moon Capital's city is exceedingly orderly, as if crafted by a builder with severe obsessive-compulsive tendencies.

The temples and palaces at the center form a perfectly circular area, with a straight and wide main boulevard extending along the tangent of this circle, precisely from the front to the rear gates of the temple group.

In other directions, more slightly narrower roads fan out like radiating beams from the center, reaching across the entirety of the Moon Capital.

These roads are not merely city planning designs; in the sense of mysticism, they also play a crucial role, like the magical circuits spreading through the body of this Great Demon city.

Although the Pure World Moon Capital itself is the entire city, just like humankind cannot effortlessly manipulate every part of their body, always having actions that are difficult, according to road planning, building scale, and distance from the Central Region, the city's magic output similarly displays varying levels of delay, with differences in strength and weakness of power.

This is knowledge also recorded in the Taboo Legacy.

And it is with this knowledge that the High Priestess, deeply familiar with the city, can skillfully navigate the Moon Capital even after leaving the Queen's palace.

If the Ancestors had known this information back then, perhaps when retreating from the Moon, they wouldn't have been so miserable. They lost important subordinates, and even left themselves with a lifelong disability.

But now, even with the High Priest's branch familiar with everything about the Moon Capital accompanying them, the Hero shows no intention of "taking the small paths," instead proceeding majestically along the central main boulevard, crossing the boundary of the temple region decisively.

In an instant, the darkness beneath the girl's feet expands wildly.

The dark, lightless color rushes outward like a tide, swiftly engulfing the entire surrounding area.

At the same time, accompanied by the surging magic power output by the girl, the Spring Light Piano Keys under her hands also emit an unprecedented brilliant radiance.

Using the heirloom musical instrument as the core, with etheric construction as the framework, a vast material structure rapidly takes shape in the storm of magic.

A gigantic pipe organ rises behind the girl.

Moreover, the pipe organ is not entirely composed of inorganic steel and brass materials; between the metallic body, emerald green vines twist and climb, and clusters of spring flowers bloom exuberantly.

Petals drift, scent floats.

On this monotone, lifeless Moon Capital boulevard, an indisputably vibrant spring color blooms boldly.

"Oh, oh... Is this Her Majesty the Empress's talent ability?"

Witnessing this scene, even the High Priest couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The Moon People were not incapable of similar feats, but to create such a massive ritual device from thin air with just magic power in such a short time, throughout her long memories, perhaps only the past Her Majesty the Empress could manage it.

In the distant ancient era, this Moon Capital was gradually established on a land filled with chaos.

The lunar soil back then was far from as pure as it is now, and not easy to process. To craft an ordinary brick, the Moon People first had to devour the remaining impurities on the surface, then reshape the material's structure, finally applying a long-term maintenance self-cleaning technique.

Only when all steps were executed flawlessly could the most basic material be created.

And a house constructed by strictly following all procedures was certainly the sturdiest refuge for the Moon People.

Yet if any step among them faltered, the house meant for shelter could instantly transform into a demon cave that devours its inhabitants.

Just as surface dwellers' houses need regular cleaning and maintenance, or else dust and dirt will gradually accumulate, the consequences of such accumulation on the Ancient Chaos Moon were thousands of times more severe.

If just a trace of impurity was overlooked inside a house, it wouldn't be long before it multiplied alarmingly, spreading, corroding nearby materials, ultimately devouring the life residing within.

Past Moon People referred to this phenomenon as "Chaos Spider's web spinning."

Once disregarded, one would become prey trapped on a web woven from death threads. The more one struggled, the more one became ensnared, ultimately awaiting a grim fate of digestion in despair.

Thus, the ancient Moon People had to meticulously scrutinize each procedure, ensuring no trace of impurity remained within the buildings.

From this perspective, today's Moon Capital's near-neurotic runaway purification is, in some sense, directly inherited from the Moon People of the past.

However, even though the Moon People could achieve near material-transformation feats, they still had to build upon existing materials.

They can transform the nature and structure of existing things but cannot generate matter from thin air using their magic power alone.

Thus, although pure-blooded Moon People of this Demon Species excel in spells of the light and dark spectrum, they are notably clumsy with the other four elements, especially those involving matter creation and manipulation, like water and earth magic.

When the Ancestors engaged in lunar culture exchanges with the Moon People, they were most frequently asked not about her expertise in wind magic, but rather the principles and techniques of other elemental spells.

Luckily, the naturally gifted Ancestors had some knowledge of other magical systems, and their attainment in Water Magic could even be considered advanced.
