"A man without a passion is a man with no sauce." - No one lmao.
Standing in front of the royals I looked unbothered without fault as Rowena and Conrad stood behind me with might and confidence. Rewora only looked at the ceiling admiring the infrastructure as she planned to use the buildings as a reference to her own when building her school. Which she proudly exclaimed would be a large castle with impenetrable defences. Though the name of the school was up for debate. I planned to see what she would pick Hogwarts or a different name.
"The last time we met, I was incredibly rude. I apologize for that we were short-sighted. Although we still believe humans are evil we understand that there are... Less evil humans. You must understand that even after all you've done are people still have our doubts," She reasoned.
"When you first arrived you left a half our royal palace in near ruins but because of your courageous act of saving our people we are grateful of your efforts and will condone two of your requests," She stated causing the old man to clench his fists madly. Fury in his eyes as he stopped himself from pouncing on me and bashing me to a bloody pulp.
"You are mad for this queen. How could you spit on our faces? You young ones were never there when they struck." He muttered angrily as he walked out of the building.
"What's wrong with him?" I asked the queen.
"Forgive him... He was the child of one of the soldiers during the elven war he still despises humans of all their worth. Don't mind him he still lives in the past," she reasoned towards me while throwing him under the bus most likely due to the prowess I first showed during our showdown.
"Don't worry I understand the old man's reasons, in fact, humans still despise elves in the same manner but a lion doesn't concern himself with opinions of sheep I came here to do two things and two things only. To guide the former elven slaves and to cash in my favours," I stated crossing my hands as I leaned back.
"And what will they be?" She asked.
"Gold and access to your archives," I stated.
"My goodness! You dare try to access our sacred archives?" The old man entered drawing out his blade.
"Move an inch Old man and you taste my blade." Sir Conrad threatened as he swiftly drew his sword out a hint of electricity surrounding his arms as he stuck it near the old man's neck. The guards seeing Conrad's blade next to the old man's neck immediately aimed their rifles towards him.
"You're starting to make me regret being generous to your people you know. I should've just created another secret Villiage then coming to this shit hole," I muttered looking up at the ceiling.
"I tell you what give us some gold and access to some of your magic spells and infrastructure for buildings every time I come here I get a slight headache," I stated tiredly of their shit.
"You can stand down now Conrad," I ordered Conrad.
"That is doable." She replied before ordering the elves to arrange my requests.
"Say how is Leafy?" I questioned.
"He's doing just fine," she replied.
"Where is he right now?" I asked.
"Well we offered him a noble title but he refused. He stated that he's contempt of living the life he is right now but he just doesn't want to be bothered by all the nobles and everyone so he lives in the upper district living in prosperity with his mother though he still gathers berries outside the barrier just with a weapon strapped," She replied. Finishing her sentence multiple elves came out with multiple bars of gold. Counting them it seemed to reach the thousands. Counting them all it came about to 700'000 next to it were a stack of about a thousand books as well.
"That's... Quite the amount," I stated at the amount. Just how did they get so much? There was no way that they collected this amount it was way too much. Comical. Only a philosophers stone could possibly do such a thing.
"Our magic is just that good," The queen snickered. The old man only smiled.
"So how are we going to take in all this gold sir? I could get our men to do it. It's not like a few bars won't hurt us," Conrad stated shocked and at awe at the amount.
"Your magic might be just that good but my powers are beyond your comprehension," I stated with indifference as I used my void abilities to suck the gold bars and books into the void leaving a now empty room gone with golden bars. This caused the elves to frown.
"May we not see each other again," I replied unbothered. That whole interaction was for the elves to try and to prove our arrogance and foolishness only for it to backfire. There was no understanding between us just another interaction and deal.

"Say where will you be going, Conrad? Rewona and I will be travelling alone with each other to Scotland what of you?," Escanor replied giving Conrad three Bars of gold.
"Although not as much as to what I hold as you saw before this will surely make your travels much easier besides you can only carry so much in that satchel of yours. I believe you are more than competent to not die. May we meet again," Escanor smiled before swooping Rewona by the legs and flying off. He had already planned on where to go.
"Indeed Equinox, may we meet again in the future," Conrad smiled stripping off his armour dawning the infamous suit. Shaking vividly a smile instantly flashed on his face as electricity started to violently spread through his body before zooming off unknown to Escanor.
"Say what should be my Sir name?" Escanor asked Rewona wrapped in his arms.
"Maybe superbia Imperium?" She replied.
"Escanor Superbia Imperium sounds good though what does it mean?" Escanor asked.
"Well, imperium means power while Superbia is well the sin of pride," She stated.
"Sounds good though hold on tight we're going to need to make our way to Scotland quick now" Escanor smiled before boosting himself towards Scotland without holding to tight down on her or flying to fast that she dies of the speed.
