The whole continent was beaming with happiness on the arrival of the people of the 3 kingdoms , as soon as the news reached the King's chamber everyone was delighted and happy , they have waited for a long time and now it was time to meet them , welcome and hold a marvelous Banquet.

King Adwerd was standing with the heads of 10 families in front of his palace and their children waiting for the elves, dwarves and cultivators to finally arrive , all the 3 of them were coming from different gates of Eldoria kingdom with the people cheering for them and welcoming happily , they were surprise to see that people held them in high regard and were impressed.

The elves were coming from the East gate so the people waiting there were astonished to see on thing Princess Seraphina her beauty was out of this world every single person was amazed by her breathtaking beauty , the people were only talking about Seraphina and nothing else , on the north gate people were amazed to see that the cultivators were flying straight towards the palace , people were gossiping about there strange powers and as for dwarves they were coming in their carriages , soldiees surrounding them drom all sides until they reached the palace, the 3 of them arrived at the same time in front of palace.

King Adwerd stepped forward and said " Welcome you all we have been waiting for you all come in , you must have been tired we have already prepared the rooms for you all so rest for a while and in the night a massive banquet will be held for you all, the elven king said " Thank you , well we'll meet at the banquet, the dwarven king and the cultivators also ' Thanked him and entered inside for a short rest'.

Princess Seraphina became the talk of the town because of her extravagant beauty , seraphina was sitting in the guest room the long journey was really tiresome and now she had to attend a banquet , people would be swarming around her she knew she was beautiful but the amount of reaction she got after here was something else she knew it would be troublesome , Seraphina had one goal maintain her image build some connections with influential people and grow stronger she didn't wanted to get mixed up in some politics .

Inside the Palace of the King's chamber the head of the 10 families were sitting together , Riggs was the one who spoke " As you can see , we only have one chance and that is tonight at the banquet we have to do everything to please them and after that reap benefits , make sure to tell your children to come there , you know what I'm talking about Princesses Seraphina she is beautiful , tell them to approach one by one to get close to her and to be honest I literally want someone from our families to bind a contract through a political marriage , she is a real beauty and apart from that the daughter of the dwarven king is also beautiful so make sure you prepare your kids well ".

Ling tianhuo was listening to their conversation and no one even noticed it's all thanks to their cultivation techniques , ling tianhuo thought it's what he expected they wanted to form an alliance through political marriage that's a smart move but they don't know one thing well I won't spoil their surprise it's impossible in the case of elves but as for dwarfs there may be a slim chance well this is going to be interesting ,at first I thought coming here was a waste of time but now it seems I'll be able to watch something funny , well it's not that bad.

Levin was leaning on a tree he was very tired after constantly using wind magic he was exhausted , he wanted to rest on 3 days remain I guess levin thought , well I know I will reach the town tomorrow so I guess I can relax and recover my strength, all he wanted my a normal happy life away from a big crowd of people and look how mh life turned out fighting monsters, hatred towards those who were responsible of the changes in this world ,levin thought.

I have alot to do in future but now let's just rest.

In the Eldoria kingdom it was the time of banquet all the membrs of 10 families were inside the banquet hall waiting for their distinguished guests to arrive suddenly the massive door of the hall opened and the guard standing announced " Distinguished guests are entering at their arrival all eyes turned towards them , Seraphina didn't like the attention she was attracting , she simply wanted this banquet to quickly over , she had great ambitions but getting too much of attention isn't a good thing.

On the other hand the the dwarves and cultivator's were also welcomed in a grand way , when all of them arrived the King stood and raised a glass of drink in his hands and said " Thank you all for coming here , it's an honour for our kingdom to hold a banquet for you all we all know why we have gathered here it's for the sake of our children's future , we are going to hold an opening ceremony from 2 days now on and every child is allowed to enroll in it , although we will test all of them to ses if they are worthy to be taught , no offense ladies and gentlemen but we would like to it and for the sake of our future let's raise a glass ".

After Adwerd finished speaking it was Elven king who spoke " I'm Calador Silvermoon , king of Elven kingdom , I have a question what kind of future do you see or rather what kind of world do you want to create " his voice a stern , calm and carried a sense of authority.

This question was simple but the meaning behind it was something else and the whole crowd unserstood what he meant , after listening to his question the King Adwerd said '' This world is the survival of the fittest you have to change with the world and this world only listens to those with power as for poor and weak people all they need is a little comfort and food so we don't have to worry about them , we don't want people who stand against us but the one's who work with us".

The moment he said that every person from the 10 families were clapping in applause like what he said was true , Calador thought ' So they are rotten to the core , well I did expect that '.

After that the banquet was filled with chatters of talking , everyone wanted to talk about something with eachother as for the Kings of 3 kingdoms were sitting together with King Adwerd and heads of 10 families , they all wanted to talk with them but it was Riggs again who spoke first " So sir Calador what do you think about us were you satisfied with your stay here although it was short , Calador replied ' It was wonderful , your hospitality and everything else was good but you're simply not asking these things to make impression so say what do you want to ask '.

Riggs and the others were astonished by the sudden remarks of Elven king and they understood on thing that he is a clever man so Riggs said not hiding anything " We would like to form a friendly alliance between you all he also referred to Ling tianhuo and Dwarven king Grimli ironheart , the three of them looked toward Riggs and said " We are listening , at which Riggs smiled and said " As you know about the situation of world we would like to explore everything ,although we have resources and other things but when it comes the Dark continent and Narnia continent we haven't even explored them a bit , well to be honest we have entered the forest on Dark continent but we can't go any deeper because of the threats that dwell in there , we want to learn the secrets it's been hiding but for Narnia continent we send some of our capable people there they never returned so we would like you all to help us in that ".

After Riggs finished speaking the 3 of them were in deep thought eventually ling tianhuo spoke " What's in it for us , if we are talking about alliance what do we get and what do you want from us ", both Elven and Dwarven king agreed with this.

Riggs thought ' This is what we are waiting for , here goes nothing ' and said " We would like for you all to teach us about your unique powers although we have elemental affinities but we need something more to move forward , so what do you say".

The 3 of them were baffled by his sudden request at which Ling tianhuo said " Well I wasn't expecting that although I can teach you about cultivation , it's upto you we can provide you techniques and breathing methods mastering them is upto you.

At which Riggs, King and the other heads of family said " Thankyou for your help, they look towards King Grimli , sensing their gazes he said " We don't have some unique power like these two and all we know is molting metal , blacksmithing and we have good control in Earth element so that's that", at which the other's show dissatisfaction but Ling tianhuo said " What the dwarf king said is true , so there's no need for you to doubt" , after confirming Dwarf king said was true , the looked toward King Calador , sensing their piercing gazes at him he said ' I'm sorry'.
