The Author's POV

Chapter 367

The moment I stepped into the hall, a bright light invaded my eyes, prompting me to cover them with a hand.

Taking a few seconds to adjust to the light, lowering my hand, the first thing I saw was an enormous table that stretched all the way to the other side of the hall.

Seated along the table were the representatives of each race as well as the dwarven elders.

They were all mixed together, and there were no particular seating arrangements. It brought for a nice atmosphere, as all races mingled together.

The moment we entered the hall, all eyes were on us.

As Douglas smiled kindly at the others, Waylan, who was next to me, whispered in a soft voice, "Looks like we are the last to come."

"Yeah."

The fact that there were only three empty seats did not go unnoticed by us. We realised that our group was the last to come.

"Humans, you are finally here."

But fortunately, the others didn't seem to mind this, as Gervis stood up and warmly welcomed us to the hall.

He pointed at the seats close to him.

"Come, come, I've reserved seats just for you."

"Thank you."

Lowering his head, Douglas did not stand on ceremony and walked toward the seats that Gervis had pointed at.

Naturally, I followed behind him.

As we were walking toward our seats, from the corner of my eyes, I caught sight of a familiar figure.

'Isn't that Malvil?'

Sitting next to his disciple, Malvil was taking a sip of his drink.

Seeing me looking at his side, he raised his cup slightly before turning his attention back to his drink.

Smiling back at him, we soon arrived at our seats.

Right after, standing up, Gervis warmly greeted us.

"I'd like to thank you humans for coming."

"It is our honor," Douglas politely replied. His reply caused Gervis to laugh out loud as he patted him on the back.

Well, he tried, but he ended up patting his thigh.

"Hahaha, there is no need to be so polite. Your people have made great contributions alongside Jomnuk, and…"

Pausing, Gervis squinted his eyes before looking towards a not-so-far-away seat, his voice turning into a quiet whisper.

"…and that guy."

His voice contained hints of anger and bitterness.

The guy he was referring to was none other than Randur, who helplessly shook his head.

It was clear that he was still not over what had happened a while ago, back at Inferno.
