n That's fine. What do you want her to see?

n

"The logbook, I mean that record left by the prince...

"

nAce answered while smiling mysteriously. Instead of carrying the translated version of Prince Zamphail's logbook. He decided that it would be better and much more convincing if this book was some kind of top-secret information kept within Veda's database.

nThe higher the requirement it needed to be viewed, the higher chance that it would be treated as the real deal. It was an idea he thought so he would no longer have to explain where he found it and how did he manage to translate it.

nHe found it better to explain that it came from the mysterious network connection called Veda.

n

"Wait, this is Veda? I mean... It has consciousness?

"

nLacus doesn't seem to believe him at the moment or she was confused by the sudden mention. She had never thought that it was possible to communicate with Veda... Well, everyone thought that it was only a mindless database powered by mysterious energy which was understandable.

n

"Well, not really but yeah, it has intelligence... although artificial.

"

n

"Artificial?

"

n

"Yeah, an evolved one at that. Anyway, you'll learn more about this someday. In other words, I managed to get its help after confirming everything within the record I found so I think you can check it as well...

"

n

"This...

"

nLacus was not only impressed by Veda's existence but due to the fact that Wallace, her junior apprentice, has a deeper connection to this artificial intelligence!

nCompared to her who was trying to slowly acquire more reputation to increase her access level, this guy who only had Veda's terminal for a few months was the one who was truly something else. It seems like he was better than whatever she felt that she was good at.

nShe had a lot of questions on her mind but she asked the most important one for now. They have a lot of time to talk about this later.

n

"What's the content of that record you found?

"

n

"The content... was the reason why I'm doing all of this... Everything I know was in there... So you can check it now before we enter this hangar.

"

nAce answered as he let her decide on what to do after reading that. The help that Wallace can only give was a bit of hope or chance for the magicians to fight back. He doesn't want a slaughter to happen once the empire arrives.

nHe wanted to at least give them a chance to fight for their land. Whatever they would achieve, Wallace believes that even small things can make changes in such a large population.

nHe even provided the non-magicians pieces of knowledge about how to create useful things in war since their population was greater than the number of magicians.

nHe was also looking forward to working with them once more of his spaceship was made.

n

"I'll give you some time... You can bring out your terminal...

"

n

"Fine...

"

nLacus waved her hand and a different circular device appeared in front of her. It was the size of her palm and has a different design to what Wallace has.

n'Her Spatial Bag was quite unusual, huh...'

n

"Whoa! I'm really at level six access! Unbelievable...

"

nLacus exclaimed and seemed to be very curious as she quickly tried looking around the information she could have access to.

n

"Mana Formations... Arrays... Sealed Mana Artifacts... Celestial Beings? Introduction to Galaxy? Unsolved cases around the world? Mana Calamity... Untainted History?

"

nLacus was only staring at the floating information she could see. She hasn't read the content yet and only softly muttered the titles or subjects she could find.

nThere was a lot more she could view as it seems.

nShe also remembered Wallace's instruction to Veda, this was only supposedly a

"bit

" higher!

nShe doesn't desire to acquire the highest level possible and was already happy to learn many things that could help her. This would surely broaden her horizon and help her create more things!

n

"Wallace... I... How can I thank you? Oh, wait... I should read the record... Where was it?

"

n

"Yes... Right... Veda, can you help?

"

nAce was honestly unaware of where to find the information so he asked the A.I.'s help.

nSoon, a record that would take more than 100 pages of a book was shown in front of Lacus...

nThe introduction about the identity of the prince threw her a bit off since she had never heard of such a name. However, after the Galactic Federation, Meredith Empire, and Ancient Relic was mentioned, she realized that it wasn't confusing, it was actually a hard-to-believe story!

nShe skimmed to many unimportant ones and focused to may interesting bits of information.

nAs she reads more on the record, she couldn't hide the shock and realization on her face.

n'This story... it would make everything sense...'

nThe part where the prince warned that the protection his team used to cover the whole planet may also be removed someday had alarmed her for a bit... If this was real, it would only mean that the Empire would have ways to trace them and it would end their peaceful days.

nIf anyone else would tell her this, then she may have thought that they're crazy.

nHowever, she was well aware of how legitimate Veda is!

nVeda was something that was being used not only by one country but the whole continent to hide information or to create the best place to find information.

nShe trusted this database so much that she had done many experiments based on the information she received from it. It contains a lot of information about mana beast and other existences that weren't event taught anywhere else other than Veda.

n

"This... How am I supposed to-

"

n

"Well, you don't have to be too much pressured by this... Just take it as an information we can use for the future. It's already good that it opened your mind a little. Now, I'll let you see my creation...

"

nAce said after seeing that Lacus was already holding her temple while thinking about what she had just read.

n***

nSeveral days had passed and the day of the two clan's space launch has arrived.

nEveryone was watching online and many people attended the event near the capital. Even the government got involved and was closely paying attention.

nYes, although the government doesn't have plans to fund projects like this, they surely wanted this to be successful at some point. After all, it would still be under the banner of the country once it was launched successfully today.

nThis would also prove that their country was more advanced than the others and would surely help them to make little changes to the government's current priorities.

n

"Oh! Here they are!

"

n

"The Sages and the Arcanists!

"

n

"Look at them!

"

n

"Whoa, what are they wearing?

"

n

"It is protection once they were in outer space...

"

n

"This is quite scary... I hope nothing goes wrong.

"

nThe five people showed up in front of everyone attending the event.

nAbout 300 meters away from the space shuttle and its space booster, the gathered attendees were also praying about the group's safety and the success of their mission.

nEveryone was excited to see the space shuttle fly across the sky.
