To the Northwest of the Lightdusk Continent stood a wonderous mountain known as Dawnstone Mountain.
Dawnstone Mountain was 8000 ters tall and huge in size-the base of the mountain covered 19 kiloters of distance while its peak was 3 kiloters wide.
The upper half of the mountain was empty with only nature covering it, but there were a few secret structures of the Longinus Empire situated there that not everyone could visit.
From the middle to its base, the surroundings of the mountain had an abundance of structures—a city filled with 20 million people.
Above the city, in the middle of the mountain stood tall a 700-ter palace made of crystals, woods, and exotic stones that overlooked the city. The palace was half-carved out of the mountain and half-constructed outward-Royal Palace of Longinus Empire.
Dawnstone Moutain--the Royal Capital of the Longinus Empire.
Above the palace and to the back side of the mountain was a structure constructed inside the mountain, a huge hall with a big magic circle and tallic formation around it.
It shone faint silver for a brief mont before several people appeared-Aleron, Riki, Darzax and Princess Rias, Roxen, and the three knights.
A short-white-haired man with a scar on his neck stood outside the formation, standing beside an eccentric one-ter-tall crystal with magical patterns.
"Welco back, Princess Rias," he said and bowed while his eyes scanned the new people before stopping on Aleron.
'So he is the one? Humph.'
"Sir Raphile," Rias said with a smile as she walked towards him. The others followed her.
"Please make arrangents regarding Lotusdawn courtyard. I want it to be prepared as soon as possible."
"Lotusdawn courtyard is occupied by Mr. Hansel," Raphile said in a respectful tone.
Rias's eyes smilingly narrowed, "Empty it, please. As soon as possible."
"Understood," Raphile left.
'It will give rise to so trouble, Rias,' Roxen wryly smiled.
'Humph. Just because he is the brother of my mother, he doesn't get the right to it,' Rias snorted.
"Follow , please. We are at the back of the mountain right now," Rias said with a smile as she turned to Aleron, Darzax, and Riki.
The group exited through a wide gate and saw beautiful scenery from 4000 ters height on the mountain.
Aleron and others could see a vast forest filled with small mountains, hills, and small water bodies spanning forty kiloters before stopping at the vast ocean.
The group rode on a big open carriage pulled by two Epic-rank Ereld-Horn Horses and started moving towards the other side of the mountain by road.
"So that's the Starlit Ocean?" Aleron's eyes shone. "It's sparkling."
The ocean was sparkling indeed as if it had so special magical phenona attached to it.
"Starlit Ocean," Rias nodded. "It is dangerous just as it is beautiful to look. Up until now, we haven't managed to fully cross it. Only Exceed-rank powerhouses can survive passing through the ocean, but they also don't have a guaranteed survival unless they have their Domain Awakened like Mr. Darzax."
"But didn't the army of Beastfolk Empire attack this continent five hundred years ago by crossing this ocean?" Aleron asked in confusion.
"Yes, they arrived on huge ships fully intact according to history, but we still can't create ships that can survive that ocean," Roxen said with a sigh. "The magic power and phenona in that ocean prevents such things."
"I see."
The carriage was going fast, so it soon arrived at the other side of the mountain.
'Such a big and beautiful city,' Aleron was surprised as he looked at the aesthetic structures littered on the mountain till its base 4 kiloters below!
People were riding on flying carpets while wheeling on roads with various types of carriages and cars.
...
Lotusdawn courtyard was a beautiful courtyard with an aesthetic wooden palace, a pond, two different types of pavilion, a training ground, a garden, and beautiful trees and plants arranged in it.
It was at the top west of the Palace, built at the corner with privacy and peace of mountain nature surrounding it.
Princess Rias and Roxen arrived there with Aleron, Darzax, and Riki.
"This is your residence," Rias said with a smile. "I hope it is to your liking."
"It's amazing," Aleron said with a laugh. "Thank you."
'It is the best courtyard we have. Of course, it's amazing,' Roxen internally thought.
After talking for a bit, Rias left saying she would return after half an hour.
Taking this chance, Aleron also decided to talk with the Beastfolks he saved.
The Necropolis had plenty of space and houses, but its atmosphere was only suitable for the undead.
The beastfolks couldn't live there properly, but Aleron had a whole island now with plenty of
space.
As such, he decided to start building another settlent for people.
After treating Beastfolks's untreated injuries and giving them healthy and energetic food, Aleron sent them to the new settlent area five kiloters west of the necropolis.
The settlent was roughly built with wood and stone, consisting of simple houses constructed by Vampires and Werewolves who had higher mastery in the Plant and Earth Arcane Syllabus.
Riki stood beside Aleron on the Central Hall's terrace in the Beastfolks settlent, watching the people settle in houses with their faces lit up in happiness and relief.
"Boss, you are really treating them well."
Aleron smiled, "I like it when people are happy and not suffering, so I am making the positive changes I can bring to their lives."
