"People of the Earth, welcome to the White Moon City." (Moon Language)
Hearing these words, "I" instinctively tensed my cheeks.
The owner of the voice was a woman standing on the edge of the Moon City.
She had a pair of pure white eyes, her long hair shimmered like silver threads, and her robe was simple in design, with pure white as the main tone, exuding a modest style.
Her voice, like her simple appearance, bore neither hostility nor warmth, just a gentle plainness. This language, unheard of by us before, entered our ears, yet we could clearly understand the meaning of the words.
"Captain, she seems to be using a High-level Language!"
"Shut up, did you really need to say that?" Hearing the First Officer's whisper of surprise behind me, I couldn't help but lightly scold him.
High-level Language doesn't refer to having a grammar or structure more complex than the Universal Language, though it indeed is; the essential difference is that the process of pronouncing this language itself mobilizes the Magic Power, even directly affects the Magic Element in the atmosphere, achieving spell-like effects.
Simply speaking is a form of chanting, this is where the high level of the High-level Language lies.
For humans, who aren't born with Magic Power, mastering a High-level Language requires a certain level of skill, followed by rigorous study and extensive practice to barely imitate it, as it involves not just simple rhythm, but also intricate manipulation of Magic Power.
But for those living in a rich Magic Element environment or inherently possessing strong Magic Power, such as legendary beings like dragons, having Magic Power in their voices is a natural instinct.
An Alien Race having its own language isn't something to be surprised about, as even within the Kingdom there are various dialects with vastly different pronunciations.
But a High-level Language is different. If what the Moon People speak is a High-level Language, it proves that this species has an innate powerful strength. Though they may not possess Dragonkind's formidable individual power, they are definitely not entities to be underestimated.
This is a symbol of power.
Realizing this, I gradually adjusted my breathing, forcing myself to calm down.
Without a doubt, this is an unprecedented and unparalleled adventure, but precisely because of this, I cannot afford to be impulsive.
I relaxed the muscles on my face, trying my best to squeeze out a friendly smile, using my hands to gesture harmlessness, indicating that we bear no ill will.
Seeing the Moon People before us showing a look of understanding, I began to softly recite Spell Chants, transforming my words into thought waves understandable by all intelligent beings.
[I activated the Spell: High-level Language Proficiency]
While seldom used at sea, this spell is extremely handy for travelers, allowing most intelligent creatures, like Siren in the seas, to understand you, an essential tool when making friends.
Fortunately, the other party's attitude is consistent throughout, and after quietly watching me cast the spell, our in-depth communication began smoothly.
After conveying to the Moon Person our identities and intentions through thought waves, she not only invited us to enter this pure and immaculate pure white city, but also promised to help us repair our ship.
Though our old companion is a treasure vessel sufficient to conquer the Seven Seas, this great voyage across the sky and the sea has left it battered, so, considering the long return trip afterward, a comprehensive overhaul is evidently indispensable.
Interactions with the Moon People were smoother than anticipated—perhaps this should be credited to my extraordinary Charm.
Miss Moon turned around, preparing to lead us into the Moon City.
Next, we will step into a mysterious city never before visited by Earth People.
However, as our gaze swept over the pristine streets, no one dared to move first.
The streets before us were just too clean, even those who normally feared nothing behind me hesitated, afraid that their filth might taint this immaculate city.
It felt like setting muddy feet onto the purest white carpet in a palace, even the normally least hygienic seamen hesitated at this moment.
But I didn't give them much time to hesitate, shoving them into the Moon City one kick at a time.
"Captain, you don't mean for us to first—"
I shot a glare at one of the fools, making him shut up immediately, listlessly following behind Miss Moon.
"Everyone, please relax, don't feel burdened, the purity of Moon City is not fragile."
The Moon Lady walking ahead spoke softly, a gentle smile of tolerance graced her lips.
Without reprimanding a few who were dazed and spellbound, I took a deep breath and, with a measured stance, finally stepped onto the streets of the Moon City.
This is the Moon City the Earth People have never reached, a city inhabited by the Moon People not recorded even in legends.
—Entering here is a feat enough to be recorded in the annals of the Kingdom.
Though here isn't the sea, as a sailor, what's the reason not to venture into the unknown?
I slightly lowered my head, peering down at the foot stepping onto the Moon Street, gripping my fists with excitement, then turned back to see the footprints left behind.
