Dorren, Madea, Elia, Norion, Cyran, Arion, and Helyra ca early the next day, as the queen had instructed them the day before.
She asked for all of them to co, and so they did. They were seated inside the hall where all etings were held.
Kent hadn’t arrived yet, for he had gone into the tower to handle a few things. But the elders were present.
Of course, Princess Elowen and her parents entered the hall a few minutes after the seven half-elves arrived. A few minutes after the arrival of the royals, Kent also entered the hall with Uncle Drake.
"Everyone is here," King Thalirion said, looking at the lineup that would be heading to the land of the Qilin race.
Of course, only three elders would go with them, considering Uncle Drake would also be heading there with them. The other seven elders would ensure the kingdom remained intact while they were away.
The tower would remain open for only three days.
"Since we are all here, we should be on our way." The king took out a cylindrical-shaped artifact and channeled his energy into it.
The mont he did, a portal opened for them to enter.
"Rember, if you can’t handle the fla tower, don’t force yourself. You are all less than 100 years old, so you can try again in the next three years when it opens," King Thalirion said, and everyone nodded.
"Very well. In that case, we can enter now. This portal will transport us directly to the Fla Mountains, where the tower is located. Expect the judgntal and hostile stares of the other races.
However, don’t mind them. We are there to show them what we are made of, so we should focus on that instead." The king turned to Kent and smiled, "You can do whatever you want, knowing your imaginary history with them."
Kent smiled and then stepped aside to let everyone enter. They did, and soon, he also entered with Uncle Drake.

[Fla Mountains. Five minutes before the Half-Elves appeared]
The Fla Mountain was as its na described. It was a mountain sitting inside a lava pool.
Of course, calling it a pool was an understatent.
It was more like a sea of lava, with the mountain standing at its center, towering several kiloters high. It was the location of the infamous tower, said to have been left behind by an immortal hundreds of thousands of years ago.
The history books described him as a very powerful fla cultivator, soone whose understanding of fla was on a different level.
He had created hundreds of fla arts.
According to observations, every three years, when the tower opens, these fla arts will be made available to all those worthy to have them.
They would be presented with different fla arts, and depending on one’s comprehension of fla, they would be required to learn the fla art to so extent.
This extent was, of course, the third form. The reason for this was that those who mastered fewer than three forms of a fla art wouldn’t be able to progress after they left the tower.
However, those who mastered at least three forms would get the rest of the skills imprinted in their mind.
This ant that long after they left the Fla Tower, they would be able to master the remaining forms, which typically numbered up to the 7th form.
Of course, there was no limit to how many one could master, but in most cases, due to the limited ti given, most only managed to comprehend one skill/fla art.
So, however, managed to walk away with two, and the record, which hadn’t yet been broken, was held by the Pill Princess, who comprehended four fla Arts, with the second-best only comprehending two.
So while the Supre Immortal Sect only required one to master one skill to the third form, one was not limited to only one skill.
The Fla Demons were the first to arrive, with 15 representatives that would be entering the Tower, three elders, and the Fla Demon King.
The Ice Demons ca second, with the sa number, and when all seven demon states, including the Dark Elves, arrived, each had the sa number of representatives.
On one side of the space stood the Shadow Demons.
Shax, the demon that Velyra beat the shit out and later beca Kent allies who he had been getting his information from stood beside the Shadow Demon King, looking as impossible as he could.
Of course, having purple skin didn’t exactly scream subtle when they were demons clad in dark robes. However, they are unique in their way.
A while later, the dwarves also appeared, numbering 26 short people. Twenty will enter the fla tower, and the remaining six are the elderly and the dwarf King.
Though they were expected to be short, to a pitifully low height, a few managed to reach five feet, and not all of them were muscular.
They were quite adorable, and watching them walk through their portal showed that, though short, they were not weak.
The Elves appeared after the dwarves and stood on their own spot, looking as prideful as ever. Of course, the mont they appeared, the hostility between them and the Dark Elves started to add more heat to the fire.
The Beastkins also ca. The Beast Empire comprised the Foxkin, Tigerkin, Wolfkin, Boarkin, Hawkkin, Serpentkin, Stagkin, Bearkin, Lynxkin, and finally, the Qilin.
After them, the dragons appeared, with the Earth Dragons erging first, followed by the Fla Dragons, and finally, the strongest of the dragons, the Crystal Dragons.
The only ones left to appear were the Half-Elves, who, after the dragons appeared, took two minutes to arrive.
Naturally, they were the main race everyone was waiting for, considering every last race there ca with not one, but at least three of their elders and either their queen or king.
They knew the Half-Elves were a hot commodity now and easy to intimidate, so they ca with their presence and started to wait for them.
Of course, they were waiting for soone else to co out.
When the portal opened and the first half-elf walked through it, all eyes landed on him.
Dorren was overwheld, feeling a chill run down his spine, but before he could freeze to death, King Thalirion appeared and placed his hand on his shoulder.
Arion, Cyran, Madea, Elia, Helyra, and Norion walked out after the king. After them, Lord Yael, Lord Orrin, and Lord Mylior also walked out.
Queen Jascia and Princess Elowen ca next, and then there was a short pause before Kent and Uncle Drake walked through the portal.
So eyes widened, a few frowned, while so smiled...
