Zeix stood inside his house, adjusting a black and red elf dress. "Well, time to go," he murmured to himself. As he stepped outside, he was greeted by a crowd of elves. Some were cheering, while others were crying. "Thank you, everyone. I will return soon, so please wait for me," Zeix called out, and the crowd erupted in cheers.
Flitz approached from behind. "Master, why did you decide to go to the capital, Khandbari, all of a sudden?" he asked. Zeix replied, "Well, it's been a long time since I visited the human realm, and I have many things to do. I think it's time I go." Flitz's face fell. "Well, can I tag along?" he asked hopefully.
"No," Zeix said firmly. "You will stay here and protect the elves. There are still many demons or others who might harm this area, so you need to protect them." Flitz pouted, "Damn you, Master. Go to hell." Zeix looked at him, surprised. "Huh? What did you say?"
Rena approached Zeix, concern written all over her face. "Master, why are you leaving so suddenly?" she asked. Zeix smiled, "I have important work to do, but don't worry, I'll return. Until then, you can train with Flitz, Roky, and the others."
The king of the elves stepped forward, raising his hand. "Everyone, salute Zeix to show our gratitude." All the elves, including Roky, Rudy, and Runy, stood at attention and saluted him. Zeix reached the gate and looked back at everyone, a warm smile on his face. "Thank you," he said softly, and then he turned and began to move forward.
