Their conversation flowed smoothly, covering topics like the lives of the elders, the structure of the Sanctus Lux Realm, other sects, and notable events that had taken place in the region.
As a Third-Level King and a long-standing elder, Thurok shared many stories with Lein—each one filled with insight and wisdom.
Lein listened intently, occasionally sipping his drink. He began to realize that Thurok wasn't the kind of person who sought fame or power. He seemed to prefer a peaceful life, only stepping in when necessary. Most of his time was spent on the Elder Island, unless an important mission required his presence elsewhere.
Between conversations, a few other elders came over and greeted Lein, who had just arrived at the island. Their welcome was warm, like they were greeting a long-lost family member. At first, Lein remained formal, but gradually, he began to sense the sincerity in their interactions.
