808 Convincing Elizabeth (1/2)

”There are a few detailed plans, but I don't think I can cover all of them right now. Hence, I am going to unite the other influences first and bring them here. We can then talk about it.”

”Sounds fair.”

”At that time, the rulers of the four kingdoms should arrive here, so we can talk about this.” Alex glanced at them.

”I think it's easy to convince them.” The second prince nodded.

”It's settled then.” Alex took a deep breath.

”In that case, are you going back after this?”

”Yeah. We might need to sync our time later when I bring them here.” Alex nodded.

”Alright. As much as I want to help you, I don't think I can help.” Shakdi sighed. ”I need to remain here to ensure the portal does not become bigger.”

”Yeah.” Alex then turned around and asked them to follow him again because they needed to walk back.

They didn't need any words because they understood Alex's intention. They nodded to him, asking him to guide them outside.

”Then…” Alex glanced at Shakdi and the others before making his way back.

The group followed the same path like previously, maintaining their speed until they came out of the pillar.

As soon as they saw the blue sky again, they then looked at Alex, who waved his hand and said, ”Alright then. Convincing them to participate in the next meeting might take me one or two weeks, so you should prepare before I arrive.”

”Yes. Thank you for your help,” they said in unison.

Alex then flew away.

Meanwhile, their guardians appeared again, looking at them with a worried expression.

However, the group seemed to have the same thought, and the same speech as all of them said at the same time. ”I am going back. There is an emergency.”

Of course, Alex didn't know this. He simply felt lucky to have such understanding heirs from the four kingdoms because they thought with their brains.

Alex then arrived at the previous spot where he dug the hole.

Before that, he suddenly fell into silence, watching the array.

”What… What if I am making a tunnel underground? It might be a bit long, but I can bring those people safely…” Alex thought for a moment and shook his head. ”No. I will suggest it to those leaders to have their disciples make an underground tunnel. In the meantime, I should start negotiating with the other leaders.”

After realizing this, he summoned the dragons again before opening the array.

It seemed he had gotten used to this situation after two times doing it, so his speed was faster than before, and the gate was more stable.

Not long after that, he arrived at his base and met Anya. ”Anya, how is our condition?”

”Ah?! So fast?” Anya was startled, expecting him to go for another few days. However, she quickly regained her calm and explained. ”For now, Firia is with Aileen and Song Hun discussing the matter with the Divine Kingdom. I think they are in the middle of negotiation right now. Of course, she has managed to persuade the Phantasm Sect, but they need time to prepare.”

”Hmm…” Alex thought for a moment and smiled. ”I will let her handle this then.”

…

In the Divine Kingdom, specifically in the middle of their throne room, the three people were meeting the current ruler of the Divine Kingdom, Queen Elizabeth.

”So, you want my cooperation from something that is caused by not my influence?” Elizabeth squinted her eyes, looking at Aileen.

Firia raised her hand and stopped her. ”They are not at fault too. Because this is coming from another place.”

”Is there any proof?”

”No.” Firia shook her head calmly. ”I only want to state this one. If we lose, your kingdom will also perish.”

Suddenly, the system gave her a notification.

[Firia. Alex is giving you a trump card for the negotiation.]

”!!!” Firia slightly widened her eyes before taking a piece of paper from the Inventory.

Elizabeth immediately furrowed her eyebrows and raised her guard because she didn't know what Firia's plan was.

However, when she saw a paper, she was confused. And as soon as Firia smiled after reading the paper, she seemed to have a strange feeling, knowing there would be something happening soon. Hence, she took out her sword and asked. ”Why are you smiling?”

”This is just a message from my husband. He told me to take this one out when the negotiation is not in my favor.” Firia lied, using Alex as her shield. Of course, the writing came from Alex.

”Hoh? Your husband.” And that was what made Elizabeth more curious.

”Yeah. He simply wants to ask you… Why do you think the Gods and Goddesses disappeared from this world in the past?”
