493 World Summi
Alex had co back after washing all the blood on his body while recovering from his injuries with Rank 5 Wondrous Healing Pill.
It took him one hour inside the bath, but still made Lexi shocked seeing he appeared like nothing happened despite having so many injuries.
She blinked a few tis, wondering if he had shed his skin like a snake inside the bath. Of course, Alex was also surprised by everything inside the castle since everything was so large.
At first, he saw a 100x100 ter mattress inside the room that dragons used to sleep. He could say that with a bed that big, he could even train his sword arts or sothing on that bed.
The second surprise ca from the bath. It looked like a normal royal bath such as a huge bath, fountains flowing with warm waters, and the others, but their size was almost 50 tis more than the one in his mory. Even the bath was too deep for Alex to even enjoy it, so he only wiped all his blood, healed and ca out.
Looking at Lexi's shocked face, Alex simply ignored it and turned to Stina. "Can you explain to about this world summit?"
She glanced at Lexi first before explaining it herself. "World Summit is the highest conference in this world that requires all six races to attend. We usually have this when there is sothing that threatens a race and might bring that race to extinction.
"For example, if you decide to exterminate the entire race with the crystals, or back when the Angel Race attacked three races. The world summit was convened to calm the three races' anger to make sure the Angel Race would not be exterminated.
"And for soone who would get the last crystal, I think the world summit is needed for many things." She said while looking at Alex with a serious face.
"When and where will the world summit convene?"
"It probably will be held in Sea Race's capital, Atlantis. As for when... this is sothing you decide, I guess. According to my prediction, they would hold the world summit right when you challenge the Sea Race's Trial."
"So, the others would watch beating the trial?" Alex asked.
The mont Lexi heard that, she was taken aback on how confident Alex was.
"No." Stina shook her head. "You will have your own trial and no one will see that. If you get the six crystals, the world summit would be for the portal. They will decide whether to open the portal or separate it again.
"They would discuss the pros and cons since this world had experienced sothing horrible a few thousand years ago. I personally do not really want to experience it again, so I don't want to open the portal… or at least, I ask Ellen not to support it. Not that much convincing since it is coming from though, who decides to accompany you.
"Anyway, that is the purpose of the world summit, so you don't need to worry about it since it would not affect your trial," Stina assured.
"I see…" Alex nodded. "Though I still need to beco a Marti- Ahem, Tier 6 first before I can challenge the Naga Race trial."
Seeing Lexi was still here, he decided to change his wording. Both of them then looked at Lexi, wondering why she was still here.
"I…" Lexi blinked a few tis, trying to think up sothing with her big brain… literally, since she was still in her Dragon Form.
Stina sighed as she looked at Alex, "I think we should go back after the envoy arrives… we are talking about the sea race here, so I assu they are nearby."
Lexi suddenly asked, "May… I know how you can possess the Human Crystal that is supposed to be lost for a few thousand years?"
Stina also had not heard about this because she did not really care. All she needed to know was her position, which was Alex's contracted beast. And her job was to support Alex in her journey, including stopping him if he stumbled on the wrong path as well as having 'ABC' with Kyle. Though since the question was out in the air, she did not mind learning it.
Unfortunately, Alex was still thankful to the priest and did not want to disclose his information. He answered, "No comnt for that."
"..." Lexi made a weird expression before asking another question. "Then, are you coming from the other world? After all, we can't get any information about you. So, I assu that with your weird fighting style, you are like soone from another world and just want to get back… Not a Supre of this world…"
Alex pondered for a mont before changing the topic. "Supre… I am Alexander Sirius, not a Supre. Besides, when you beco Supre, the other would most likely call you with that. It will be pretty sad if everyone only rembers your title, not your na."
"Ah, I have experienced it too. It is quite sad since I have been called Phoenix Queen this and Phoenix Queen that for a few thousand years. Only after Ellen was born, was there soone who called differently. Of course, you are different too." Stina smiled at Alex.
He nodded before turning back to Lexi. "Anyway, If you are going to ask a personal question, just know that I won't answer any of it."
"..." She could only sigh. "Then I will lead the Phoenix Queen to another room, so she can rest. I will inform you if the ssenger has arrived."
"No. I am going to stay with him since I still don't trust Dragon Race. There is no way I will leave him in this room alone." Stina declined while adding inwardly, 'I am his contracted beast, his safety is only second to Kyle.'
"I understand. Then, if there is anything, you can ring the bell over there." She pointed at a big bell in the corner of the room.
Alex and Stina nodded while Lexi turned around and left. However, hearing about the bell made Alex wonder what kind of servant would co if he rang the bell. If it was in the Phoenix's castle, all servants were at least Martial Lords and already learned shapeshifting ability. They wore a typical maid or butler suit, making them look like a butler or maid on Earth, except their wings.
He was wondering what kind of servant the dragon race would have. He started imagining a dragon on their human form, having a horn, wings, and tail, wearing a uniform like in manga or ani from Japan. Sadly, the mont he pictured it, it would instantly be replaced by a huge western dragon wearing a uniform. It even made him shudder.
Stina did not know what Alex was thinking and just ignored him as Kyle ca out of Alex's body. She just took her ti with him.
The next day,
As Stina predicted, the envoy from the Sea Races had co to the palace, handing a certain invitation to them.
Alex was astonished to see soone had a fish head with hands like a frog and joined at the waist to the body and legs of a snake. Alex only had curiosity and amazent while there was no trace of disgust in his eyes since he had seen monsters that had an uglier appearance.
The envoy said while taking out three scrolls. "I am honored to hand the invitation of the World Summit to the Majestic Dragon King, Your Majesty Phoenix Queen and the Challenger Alexander Sirius.
"The world summit will be held in our capital city, Atlantis. As for the specific date, May I inquire for Sir Alexander Sirius to specify the date? A range is fine too. After all, this invitation is also for the other races' rulers and each of them has different distances from our Atlantis.
"If you could provide the date, it will be better for all of us. Thus, his Majesty, Neptune, asks for a specific date." He said in front of all the dragons that were standing inside the Dragon Hall.
"..." Alex pondered for a mont, recalculating the ti he needed to advance to the Martial Emperor. He would need around one month or so to reach 9-Star Martial King and a few days more to reach 10-Star because he had an Energy Pill.
After that, he would need to consolidate his strength as well as challenging his tribulation. It would take at least two months while considering the journey ti. Hence, Alex replied, "Six months. I need around six months."
All the people inside the hall except Stina were dumbfounded hearing that. He was only an 8-Star and he said he only needed six months to beco a Tier 6, no one could believe it. Although they had heard about Alex raising his strength from 6-Star to 8-Star in a re six months, it would be different if he needed to advance through a whole tier.
This stupefied the entire hall and even the envoy could only reply to him with, "With all due respect, may I ask if Sire is sure to hold it in six months?"
"Yes." Alex nodded. In fact, he had stretched it quite a bit, allowing him to train other things and refined pills for the dicinal ingredients quest.
All of them exchanged looks, still could not believe it. After all, each ruler would have a busy schedule and if Alex suddenly said 'Sorry, I still need more ti.' and canceled the eting, it would invite rage from the rulers.
Seeing this, Stina decided to take a step forward and said, "In the na of Phoenix Race, I would surely bring him to Atlantis six months from now, so you don't need to worry about that.
Her na had already resounded throughout the world for a few thousand years and surely carried a big weight. Because of that, they sohow accepted it.
"Then, I shall declare, in the na of the great Neptune, the world summit will be held in Atlantis six months from now."
Alex nodded then turned to Stina, sending a thought transmission to her. 'Thank you.'
'It's a small problem, Master. According to the tale I heard from Anya, Master must have stretched it a bit.'
'Well, I also need to train other things and refine the pills for the dicinal ingredients. Besides, if you are going with , it will leave your Phoenix Race unprotected. If all of them at least have a hundred dragon strength more, it will enhance the security, so you can be more assured when you leave this world.' Alex explained.
Stina opened her eyes wide, astonished by his intention. She smiled and thought she and Kyle did not choose the wrong master. 'Yes.'
After the declaration, the invitation was updated by the date that they agreed upon. He then handed one to the Dragon King, Stina, and even Alex had his own invitation. It was said that he could invite a few people as his companions or guards and this certainly made him happy.
He was planning to invite Anya and Sherry with him. After beating the last trial, he was basically invincible in this world, so if the situation beca a bit more chaotic, he could just recall Anya back and had Sherry hide inside his body. This way, no one would be able to touch them.
As for the Phoenix Queen, she should be alright if she and Kyle also entered his body, but it would be a different matter since the current queen was Ellen, albeit was still not announced to the world, so the invitation still fell onto her hand.
"Then, with this, our business on this continent has officially finished. I am thankful for the good reception, Dragon King Zephyr." Stina said.
"Are you not going to stay for a few more days?"
"No. Since we only have six months, we need to go back right now, since we also need to consider our departure ti," Stina replied.
"Umu." My Dragon Race shall escort you back so you won't have any trouble in your journey and I bet the Naga race would also allow this, right?"
"Your Majesty is right." The envoy nodded.
They then concluded the eting there and started their journey again.
