"let me formally introduce myself, I'm princess Leiliana Cloudia of the Alte Kingdom, this is my father King Leo Cloudia and my mother Queen Elaine"
Lei said as she turned to look at me and introduced her parents
"who is this? Why does he don the Royal figure?"
A man who wore a crown moved forward and spoke
"it's a pleasure to meet you your highness, my name is Via Von, uh, Vertis"
I quickly thought up an impressive sounding last name, my family were merchants so we didn't have a family name as one wasn't conferred to us by the emperor
"sir Via Von Vertis, I thank you for saving my child"
The King said as he shook my paw with his
"well, my work here is done, bye!"
I turned around and left through the door leaving them speechless
'aren't you surprised? Aren't you going to ask for a reward? Aren't at least going to try making connections with the royal family?'
The three Elari stood dazed for a while, as for me I had already shook all their hands and upgraded my Elari associated talents to lvl 11
Now what I wanted to do was explore this new world, as I looked down from the royal tree I spread my wings and flew down to the city below
"hey! Learn to fly!"
Someone shouted as they flew past me nearly crashing into me, I decided to land before I caused more trouble, it seems they had a special and organized way of flying
I could hear telepathic calls coming to me from someone claiming to be control tower telling me to land
All of it seemed really confusing so I decided to walk as I explored the city
"did you hear? The royal family has begun searching for someone all over the city"
I over heard other Elari talking
"probably just another criminal, it's best to stay out of this"
Hearing this I quickly hid in an alley and gathered my thoughts
'it seems they found out I wasn't an Elari and want to prevent me from escaping and telling others, I must hide from them, this won't be easy'
I tried transforming my shape but failed, it seems that the shape I took on was what I had the most 'affinity' with, maybe it was because it was the first Elari I had seen or maybe because of how excited I was to gain so many great talents, the best I could do was change my fur color to a patchy grey instead of black
The best part was that Elari were naturally gifted in Xin arts, they had heart talents for all elements and the royal family had high level heart talents that were even better than my Frost Heart talent
After a few days I learned about the lifestyle of the Elari through reading books in their library, unlike the humans the Elari valued knowledge greatly and the Royal Library that contained all the books was open to the public, except for forbidden knowledge and evil tombs everything here could be read for free
The Xin techniques here were much better than those in the 4th floor of the Mindar sect and most likely in the entire Lin empire as the Elari were extremely advanced in their arts
After I sneaked past the oblivious guards using my high level Stealth talent and martial arts I found super advanced books on rune carving, pill refining, and array setting
Arrays was a category of rune carving that used large areas to set up large scale effects such as this pocket dimension that the Elari had set up
