The dark elves were a matriarchal society, and the Qingqi tribe was diminishing in male influence; both places were known for their beauties. As Ivan traveled through, he did not see a single person of below-average appearance.
From the water pavilion to the council hall, Elder Bayer acted warmly, but unfortunately, the others had their minds occupied and showed only lukewarm responses.

Engaging a Level 3 Sorcerer for a month and involving the tribe's first sorcerer's advancement was not something to be settled with mere words of thanks.
Out of respect for Dorothy and Angus, Ivan kept his demands reasonable. He only had two specific requests; one was for a recipe of a lifeforce potion, and the other was fine wine.
