King Jorik frown for a moment from hearing Rex calling his exact name, but realizing that he was dealing with a Werewolf that has taken a human form made it all make sense. With his hearing senses, it's not a surprise for Rex to know King Jorik's name.
Under the gazes of many, Rex and the others followed King Jorik into the great tree.
Most of the Dark Elves that lived inside the great tree which shows their high status went outside, they were making a path to the great tree, neatly lining on either side alongside the guards that are holding their weapons ready at hand.
None of them pointed at Rex and the others though, but they are ready to fire at any given time.
Rex and Evelyn looked around the place as the air inside this place feel more refreshing than the air outside, it seems there was something about the great tree that have this kind of soothing effect on the air.
In a moment, they finally entered the great tree's entrance and stopped there.
'Hmm... they have houses inside this tree too, maybe for a diversion?' Rex thought while inspecting the place, he already bought information regarding the Dark Elves and basically know their cultures and power.
Knowing their exact lifestyle, Rex smiled and inspected down rather than looking up.
Evelyn, on the other hand, was looking up at the houses that are attached to the great tree, they look more like mansions than houses. Viewing such a sight is the first time for Rex and Evelyn, not for Flunra though.
At the center of the place is a long rectangle-shaped table made of dark wood.
King Jorik went to the further side of the table while Rex sat at the other, Evelyn and Flunra are standing beside his chair the same as General Theodas and one other Dark Elf standing beside King Jorik's chair.
Sitting leisurely with his leg crossed, Rex supported his cheek with his fist.
"Tell me, King Jorik. Which one is the Dark Elf called Uncle Isniu?" Rex finally opens his mouth and breaks the silence, he already knows what happened during the cursed creatures' attack from Flunra and this Uncle Isniu helped Adhara fend off the cursed creature.
Rex is not an unreasonable man, he would of course repay good with good.
Waving his hand to the guards on the side, they brought forth a Dark Elf wearing a loose crimson robe with a black combat suit underneath. Rex already scanned him and finds that he was quite strong for a Dark Elf, mid-seventh rank realm.
From one glance he can also tell that the Dark Elf is old, the wrinkles clearly show that.
"Greeting to the Alpha of the Sivlerstar Pack, I'm the Dark Elf that goes by the name Uncle Isniu" Uncle Isniu introduced himself and bowed his body slightly in respect, he's presenting himself in front of a powerful entity after all.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the Dark Elves' eyes, Rex is an entity that has overwhelming strength.
Such an entity that can go against the likes of Kings and Queens of the high-ranking Supernatural races, even Queen Shanaela got submitted completely by the Alpha of the Silverstar Pack. In front of such a presence, they need to humble their arrogant nature inherited from the Elves.
Looking at Uncle Isniu, Rex caught sight of the black blindfold covering Uncle Isniu's eyes.
Wanting to know if the Dark Elf is really the one that helped Adhara defend the castle from the cursed creatures' attack, Rex glanced at Flunra before he nodded his head affirming that it was indeed the same Dark Elf.
"You've helped my Female Alpha to protect my castle, why?" Rex went straight to the point.
Although he was quite grateful for the fact that Uncle Isniu and a couple of other Dark Elves helped Adhara to defend the castle, he knows that every piece of kindness is never completely sincere, there are always motives behind it even if it's only a little bit.
Gazing at Uncle Isniu curiously, he then added, "Are you seeking my help?"
Upon hearing this King Jorik can't help but look at the Dark Elf that is the head family of Uncle Isniu's family, he doesn't know that Uncle Isniu sent help to the Silverstar Pack castle. More than that, he doesn't even know that the Silverstar Pack's castle is near their territory.
Receiving that gaze, the Dark Elf only shakes his head showing that it was not his order.
Without even pondering for too long, Uncle Isniu glanced at King Jorik, asking for permission to answer out of respect for him. After receiving a nod, Uncle Isniu then replied confidently and loudly, "I saw the movement of the cursed creatures, and decided to help out. I did all of that for the sake of creating a friendly tie between our kingdom and the Silverstar Pack"
"Our kingdom already signed the Oath Pact, and I think it's best to engage with you" he added.
"Oath Pact...?" Rex mutters in confusion.
King Jorik saw the confusion in Rex's eyes, he then signals to the guard to bring the Oath Pact scroll and explained, "It's the Oath Pact to not join in the war between humans and Supernaturals, Queen Shanaela from the Elves created saying that you have given her a chance to make a change"
'Queen Shanaela...?' Rex thought with a frown.
But soon he remembered that he lets go of an eighth-rank realm Elf when he first gain the Banished Dark Moon King Mark, it was Queen Shanaela asking him to give her a chance to end the war that is hurting both sides.
Rex shakes his head upon remembering this, he's a different man now compared to back then.
It happened when he was still on humanity's side, he told Queen Shanaela that he was not going to stop and told her to only save the low-ranking Supernatural races. Other than that, the Vampires, Werewolves, Demons, and the other high-ranking Supernatural races, Rex would destroy them all.
Now that the incident has happened, he has no desire in pursuing the war anymore.
Soon a Dark Elf brings the Oath Pact scroll and puts it at the table in front of Rex, but it's written in Dark Elf language. Rex already learned Dark Elf language before, so the language barrier is not a problem anymore as he takes the scroll and reads it.
Upon seeing this, King Jorik clears his throat, "We can translate it for you if you want"
"There's no need" Rex replied shortly as he reads through the scroll, and this caught the Dark Elves by surprise as they didn't expect a Werewolf can read their language. Even for the Elves, there are not many Elves that can read the Dark Elf's language.
Reading through the content swiftly, Rex finds that it was exactly as King Jorik said.
Inside the Oath Pact, it was written that the Dark Elf Kingdom agreed with Queen Shanaela's suggestion to essentially abandon supplying forces for the war done by the high-ranking Supernatural races at the appropriate time and simultaneously allying together.
Below the actual Oath Pact is the signature stamp of all Dark Elves' nobilities.
Something like this is not what he expected Queen Shanaela would do, 'Well I did tell her to save as many low-ranking Supernatural races as she can. On top of that, this might come in handy for me right now'
Putting down the Oath Pact, Rex then shifted his attention back to King Jorik.
"I'm curious, how many Supernatural races have agreed to this Oath Pact?" Rex asked, that is the million-dollar question. Coming here is him trying to make a relationship with the Dark Elves in honor of Kyran.
Kyran seems to really want him to trust the Dark Elves, and he came here to honor that.
On top of that, he also wanted to learn about the humans since the Dark Elves should be nearing the high-rank Supernatural races. Rex is certain that the Dark Elves know a thing or two regarding the state of the war.
Pausing for a moment, King Jorik then replied, "Only two races have agreed if I'm not mistaken"
"Dwarves and Ogres have already submitted fully to Queen Shanaela's cause, some of the Orcs Kingdom is about to agree but the other Kingdoms haven't responded anything yet. Including us, there would be three races that agreed" he added.
Although he was not expecting anything, Rex is quite surprised by the answer.
It's not that long ago since he let Queen Shanaela go, but she already managed to rake three races including the Dark Elves into her side. 'She must really want to end the war, but I can use this to my advantage'
Nodding his head, Rex then finally confirms what he's going to do with this.
"Back then it's true that I give Queen Shanaela a chance since I'm going to destroy the high-ranking Supernatural races, every single one of them I wanted to kill" Rex declared which makes the Dark Elves' that heard this feel their blood runs cold.
Saying something like that would instantly get them killed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut since it comes from an entity like Rex, the declaration makes their spines shiver in utter fear. If he's the one that said it, then that actually can happen especially knowing that King Baralt and Queen Catsha failed to kill him.
Not only that, Rex even managed to injure them quite a bit.
It's just another proof of his overbearing reputation.
Despite never actually fighting with Rex on the battlefield, the story of him in many instances defeating the Supernaturals reaches the Dark Elves' ears. Most of them thought that the stories are fake, but some has already given Rex a nickname to satiate their fears.
Black Owl is the nickname used by the Dark Elves for Rex.
Since he has resulted in Supernaturals' defeat numerous times, the Dark Elves called him a Black Owl which simply means that he's a creature that brings bad luck to the Supernaturals. Even now some of the Dark Elves are uneasy to stand near him.
From the showcase of power Rex did in front, now they realized that the stories must be true.
More than that, the Dark Elves' nobilities inside the great tree right now feel like the stories are not only true but also watered down to not crush the Supernaturals' morale. Rex surpassed everything they expected him to be just by saying that nonchalantly.
"I've changed now, I don't want to be involved in the war again. I assume you also don't"
Upon hearing this the Dark Elves' has changed in expression showing that they also don't want to be sacrificed in the war fighting for the high-rank Supernatural races, they are content with what they have right now.
It might change in the future but right now they are living the best lives just by having a home.
Rex smiled lightly seeing their change of expressions, "With respect to one of my pack members" he mutters before he glanced at Uncle Isniu, "and you for helping to defend my castle. I suggest that we become allies, we'll protect each other from the backlash of our doings"
"We'll help each of us strife in the midst of the Chaos, creating an untainted place"
Gazing at King Jorik with his red eyes flashing brightly, Rex then added, "How about it, King Jorik? I can tell that you need my help, and this is your chance. If you refuse, there's no turning back in the future"
With that invitation, the Dark Elves burst into a discussion as they were not expecting this.
But despite their conflicting opinions Rex doesn't seem to be fazed as he believed that the Dark Elves would accept his offer. "I'm surprised that you wanted to become allies with a Supernatural Kingdom, are you sure?" Evelyn asked from the side.
Not even looking at her, Rex pointed at Flunra with his thumb.
"Flunra just said something interesting to me, he said that someone like me can't just pull away from the war that involved the entire world. If I know that I wouldn't be able to hide, isn't it better to face the problem head-on?"
"Because of that, I have come to a decision" Rex trains his hopeful eyes forward.
"I'll make a nation that is cut away from the war, and will fight both sides if necessary..."
