Chapter 789 Airheads

Chapter 789 Airheads

"Heavenreacher..." Ophelia repeated thoughtfully.

It was quite a suitable name if Vaan could bring the project to life as he envisioned. Moreover, its name would shake the world at its foundation once its fame spread.

The first to flock over would be the magic-engineering scholars around the world, followed by wealthy and powerful people. There wasn't a single person in the world who wasn't curious about the world beyond the sky.

Thus, if they could afford the experience, they would certainly be willing to pay for it.

Ophelia could see the Heavenreacher Project attracting countless wealth and fame to the country once it was completed.

By then, many countries would actively reach out to the Black Rose Empire despite their zero contact in the past. It would be a huge step forward for the Black Rose Empire.

However, whether the rest of humanity would benefit from it remained to be seen.

Although Vaan initiated the project to bring humanity into the interstellar age and advance their progress by leaps and bounds, he no longer needed to wait for the completion of the Heavenreacher Project, Space Station Project, and Space Gateway Project.

His goal was to bring people to the moon to build a training base to utilize the pure mana from the other side of the dimensional crack there.

Fortunately, a highly advanced old base already existed within the moon's core. They only needed to repair it and restore its life support functions.

With his current comprehension of the Spatial Law, Vaan could take quite a lot to the moon in an instant.

"Gather fifty High Witches, thirty Peak-stage Senior Witches, and twenty students at the True Witch rank, Aeliana. Also, call Cryrena, Dahlia, and your mother over," Vaan instructed.

"Yes, Lord Vaan!" Aeliana immediately complied and departed.

Shortly after, Vaan turned to Lord Narvim, "Return the clan and bring back a hundred dragons with at least Rank 5 Magic Engineering knowledge and two hundred Airheads, Lord Narvim."

"Understood, Supreme Leader," Lord Narvim left after giving Eniwse a brief glance.

"What do you plan to do with so many airheads? Or rather, the Red Dragon Clan actually has so many airheads, Sir Vaan?" Ophelia quickly asked with pure astonishment.

"Eh? I don't think we are thinking on the same page, Lady Ophelia," Vaan replied.

"Huh? Then, what kind of airhead are you talking about?"

"An Airhead is the name of a specific magitech headgear design with the function of adjusting its size to fit the user and provide a steady supply of breathable air to them. It's an essential gear for surviving in the sea of stars, Lady Ophelia," Vaan explained.

However, Ophelia couldn't help but feel speechless.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

She was originally impressed with Vaan's naming sense when she thought of Heavenreacher. However, she had to take it back after learning about Airhead.

Couldn't he have picked a better name for it?

"Teacher!"

"Vaan!"

Cyrena and Dahlia rushed over with excitement and joy while Solana lagged behind at a calm and steady pace.

As it would become the focal point of the Black Rose Empire in the future, it was the prime location for Hecate's first church. Given her influence, it would also provide a layer of protection to Sunpeak City once her religion took form.

Since he permitted her to establish her religion anywhere within his area of influence, how could he not take advantage of her influence for his own benefit?

In this case, both parties would benefit if a church of Hecate was built here.

Hecate's influence would add an additional layer of protection to the Heavenreacher from potential sabotagers. On the other hand, Hecate's worshippers would get a large population of witches to convert.

"But you have been quietly listening to the Heavenreacher Project. As such, you should be aware of this city's future developments. Would Lady Hecate like her official church to be built here?" Vaan asked.

"This... We will have to ask Lady Hecate about it," Fourth Dream replied with uncertainty. She couldn't make the decision for her mistress.

"We'll put a hold on that topic then," Vaan nodded.

Fourth Dream was immediately relieved and concerned at the same time.

She wasn't sure how to respond if Vaan pressed the matter since she couldn't give him an answer. Her mistress had cut off contact since returning to Illusory Moon City a moment ago.

As such, no one could reach Hecate, not even Ophelia or her other Devil's Contractor.

...

Sometime later, Cyrena, Dahlia, and Solana finished settling their businesses and returned. Lord Narvim and Aeliana also brought over Vaan's requirements as instructed.

Vaan spotted Sabrina, Louise, Cassandra, and Alicia among the True Witch-level students. They were all Redpine Academy students who had dual-practiced with him before.

However, they were still stuck at Peak-stage True Witch and had not entered the Senior Witch rank.

Although they had made some progress since he had last seen them, it was still small compared to Cyrena and the others. As such, he made a mental note to assist them on this trip if they had not broken their contracts.

He'd make sure to check later.

Vaan gave them a nod of acknowledgment after they made eye contact. He could see longing and excitement in their gazes.

"Since everyone is here, we'll prepare to depart. Lord Narvim, have your clan members distribute the Airheads to everyone and teach them how to use them."

"Yes, Supreme Leader."

On the side, Ophelia's lips twitched. She doubted she would ever get used to hearing such a name for a magitech gear.

Twenty minutes later, everyone became familiar with their Airheads amid their astonishment with their functions.

The Airheads were designed to cover the red dragon's entire head. But when used by the witches, they covered their whole bodies like skin-tight, elastic glass suits without producing any discomfort.

It was quite magical.

Everyone quickly became interested in the special materials used to produce the Airheads. However, they weren't given the extra time to study further.

"Since everyone is ready, let us depart at once," Vaan stated.

With a downward stroke of his hand, a large-scale spatial portal dropped from above and swallowed everyone, bringing them all to the moon's core on the other side.
