He fills the missing lines one by one with a very smooth and precise movement. After the previous enlightenment, he felt really confident in this. He felt the previous barrier where he needs to be extremely careful was crumbled. But of course, it doesn't mean he is not careful. He is still very careful while drawing the missing lines. It just his speed become faster and his movement becomes more precise.
In an instant, he filled all the missing lines. He will begin to make twelve destroyed symbols consecutively. After adjusting his breath, his finger starts glowing again. Drawing line after line, a symbol finally complete. Alex didn't stop here, he immediately drew the second symbol, third, fourth, and so on. Sweat started forming on his forehead when he drew the fifth symbol. He makes the symbols in succession. When he reached the tenth symbol, his body is full of sweat. But his focus still didn't break. Not only it didn't break, but it is also even stronger than before. He is surely tired, especially his mind. But even though he is in that state. He seems rather enjoying it. He was like in the zone.
"Two more to go"
Alex didn't know why, even though he is very tired. He can't help but smile. He felt making symbols, making arrays is really fun at this moment. After making so many lines, so many symbols, his movement becomes faster, in less than a minute, he finished the last two symbols. He still holds his focus. He continued to the last step, 'Harmonizing'. He envelops the whole array with his mana, It wasn't like the previous spot, he needs to reconnect the twelve new symbols at the same time. He uses his mana like a thread sewing a cloth, he stitches the twelve new symbols with the old symbols. After two minutes, he finally finished.
Alex relaxed a bit. He replaced the materials inside, then he activates the array. This time, the array wasn't the only one glowing. Suddenly, all thirty of them glowing simultaneously. The light shoots out to the sky. All the people inside the Divine City noticed the light that pierces the sky, it was like a light pillar. Suddenly, a yellow-colored barrier appeared. The lights that pierce the sky were the light pillars and the barrier was like its net, protecting the tree. Everyone who saw this were shocked. They didn't know anything about this. But, the five leaders knew about this. After ordering their second in command to organize the troops in their territory, they immediately go back to Divine City. After they saw this spectacular scene, they immediately rushed to Alex's location.
When they arrived, they saw Alex who is leaning on the wall, asleep. His face and body full of sweat, his expression was very tired. But there is a happy smile on his face. After he succeeds, all of his tiredness suddenly come to him. He walked to the wall staggered. He leans on the wall and sat down and before he knew it, he fell asleep.
…
The next day, Alex slowly opens his eyes, the sun has almost set, he has slept for a whole day. He checks his condition, there is nothing in particular, no, more exactly, his mind felt refreshed, he somehow can feel his surrounding very perfectly.
"Is this what Master said back then?"
He remembered when Maxwell taught him about array. He taught him about Mental Energy too. This is the very difference between Array Master with Alchemist or Forging. Alchemist or Forging use their inner energy to refine a pill or a weapon, using their energy to flame their fire. But, Array Master used a different kind of energy which is Mental Energy. They make and control the array with the so-called Mental Energy. The higher, one's Mental Energy, the easier and stronger when they make an array. Of course, they can't forget about their inner energy too, After all, it is their fuel to activate the array. Maybe he will need to practice his Mental Energy when he goes back home. His Master leaves a book to practice his mental energy anyway.
He stood up and suddenly noticed that his clothes already changed. A white shirt with a green mantle, white long pants. Their pattern was similar to the Elven Queen clothes.
"Don't tell me…" Alex shivered. He checks his surroundings. He is still inside the array. So there is no way that happened…right? 'Oh right, I was sweating all over my body. That is the reason…yes, that's definitely the reason'
He immediately changes his clothes to his ordinary clothes he stored in his space ring. After he changed his clothes, he looked at the array one more time. Feeling satisfied, he left. When he left the barrier, there is Elven Queen who seems to wait for him for a long time. She bowed, "Thank you very much, Sir Alexander"
Alex bewildered, suddenly she changes her way when she addresses him. Now, she called him 'Sir'. He convinces himself inwardly 'It was because I repaired the array. Nothing else. Remember her previous treatment to you'
After calming himself down, He nodded.
"Would you like to rest?"
"No, I have rest enough"
"Would you like me to inform the other leaders? They have also awaited for you"
"Sure"
The Elven Queen immediately left. Alex makes a weird place. He really didn't know what the heck is she thinking. First, she threatened him, then she suddenly kneeled and wanted to be his slave, and now she treated him politely.
Not long after, the Elven Queen come back along with the other leaders. The dwarf leader immediately thanked him "Haha, Young Alexander. I really thank you for helping us. We can dispatch tomorrow. How about we go to the Dwarf Territory for a drink? Don't worry, our territory is not that far from here, we can arrive in one hour with our speed"
"Well… Fine, I already promised you about that"
"Sure, Let's go, right now"
'How Sly' all the other leaders thought
Alex and Dwarf Leader left. On the way, the dwarf leader makes a weird face. He looked back, "Why do you guys following us?"
"We can't let you have all the fun. We want to thank him too", Elven Queen
"That's right. You are sly even though you are small", Druid Leader
"Drinking with the Strong one and our benefactor to boot, It was my honor", Centaur Leader
"I am just following them", Titan Leader
"You all…"
After flying for one hour, they finally arrived at the Dwarf Territory.
Unlike the wooden gate he had seen in the Druid Territory, The wall in the Dwarf Territory was built with stones. He also traced metals inside them, even in Human territory, their wall was only built from stones. As expected of dwarves, their smithing was really top-notch. All the people inside have the same side as the dwarf leader. The kid was a bit smaller than them though.
"Please treat it like your home"
Alex looked at his surroundings. It seems that this dwarf leader already prepared for this. And his speculation proved to be true. They saw a big field in the middle of the town, Alex was confused why such a big field was in this place. But when he sees the people bustling in it with many food and jar. He knew the reason. It wasn't only a drink with the dwarf leader. He seems to want a drinking party.
"Haha, Please this way, Young Alexander"
All the leaders have the same thought at this moment, 'I know it'
"Look, our leader has come back"
"Leader"
"Look, there is a human beside him… Don't tell me, he is the legendary…"
"Yes, he must be him"
"Cough" The dwarf leader coughed, the crowds suddenly quiet down. "Let me introduce you. This is the savior of our Divine Tree. His name is Alexander Sirius. We will always be grateful to him. I announced from today onward, he will be our, dwarf, eternal friend"
"Woo"
"Long Live Dwarf, Long Live Leader, Long Live Divine Tree, Long Live Alexander Sirius"
"And also, I would like to formally apologize to you, Young Alexander, for what I have done in the throne room. But because of your kindness, not only you save our Divine Tree, but you also repaired our barrier. I am very sorry" The dwarf kneeled to him. The Elven Queen followed the suit along with Centaur Leader, for Centaur race, kneeling like this for a prideful race like the is their utter shame but it can mean another thing. It also can be their most sincere apology. The Druid Leader also kneeling in front of him. The Titan Leader is the same.
"Sigh, It's alright. Please stand up"
"You can punish us if you want. You can kick me, punch me, or anything. I won't stand up, This guilt burning me from inside. If you let me go unpunished. I feel like I…"
On the other hand, Alex makes a weird face. 'Are you an M? but this farce won't stop if I don't do something' Alex pondered for a moment before saying "Fine. I will kick you once, with my full power. But only you. I don't want to do it anymore"
"I'm very grateful"
'Grateful? As expected you are an M. F*ck!' Alex cursed inwardly. The dwarf leader stands up, Alex prepared himself and finally kick him. The dwarf leader was blown away and crashed to the ground. After that, he came back immediately.
"It's fine, right? Since it is a party. Just start the party"
"Folks, you heard him. Now it's time for the Party"
The dwarf handed Alex a glass of wine. It seems to be their tradition, even without saying anything, they raised their glasses.
"Party Start. Cheers"
"Cheers"
All the dwarves immediately drank their wine. Alex followed the suit. This is the first time he drank wine. He drank the wine completely.
"Haha, good. That is the way you drink. More, we need more!"
A dwarf girl suddenly poured more wine to Alex's glass. A brownish skin, Cute Face, beautiful hair, flat chested, small body. This is the first time he carefully observed a dwarf beside their leader.
"How about it? our dwarven girl is pretty nice, right? My granddaughter is prettier. You will feel a different feeling when you are doing it with a dwarven girl. Even though we are small, we are pretty vigorous, especially in bed? How about it? I think you are pretty match up with my daughter"
"Wait!" Centaur Leader suddenly comes in. "If it's about that. I think my daughter is the most appropriate. We are the most vigorous race, of course, we don't lose in the bed. I think it's better for my daughter to be with him rather than your granddaughter"
"Shut up, you horseman. You are just a muscle brain."
"Shut up, you small man. Like your body, your brain must be small too"
"Grrr"
Suddenly, the Elven Queen came. But, she is drunk.
"Oh, that's right. We forgot about that"
"Yes, We forget we can't give her the Wine"
Dwarf Leader and Centaur Leader who was grumbled with each other suddenly stop and agree with each other.
"Sir Alexander. Thank you for helping us. I'm…burp…Very sorry about the way I treated you back then. As a punishment for that and a reward for helping us, how about I become your slave? Burp… If that's not enough, how about with my daughter too? Burp…Uhehe…"
Alex's eyes widened. He pretty sure he didn't treat her with kindness? Even after she gave him a lap pillow, He was pretty sure to make a neutral treatment. No, If summing up to this point, Ain't he treat her pretty badly? Compared to the other leaders, he surely treated her badly. But suddenly, she was drunk and blurted that out. He thought that people usually give a truth when they were drunk, but now, He can only in his mind 'What the heck with this woman? I treated her pretty bad right? Is she an M?'
Alex grabbed her head, suddenly a few symbols appeared on her forehead.
"Wai… One sheep…two sheep…three sheep…zzzzz" The Elven Queen acting weird after a few symbols appeared and suddenly fell asleep.
Alex made an Illusion Array. It makes her saw sheep flying in front of her. It was pretty famous on Earth, saying that counting sheep make one sleep faster. But he never thought it was effective. He was bewildered but, at least he was relieved. The troublesome one has gone. But, it still didn't stop there, suddenly, the Druid Leader also join along.
"That's right! It's better for our Druid to take care of him. Our women are prettier than them, they have a mature and sexy body that didn't lose to the Elven Queen. They are very gentle and mature. I'm sure they will take care of you and will make you happy"
"Shut up, you druid love wood, right? just go F*ck the wood, you Druid", Dwarf Leader retorted him.
"Shut up you small person. Your small girl will just break after a round" Druid Leader gave it back right through him.
"That's right. It's better for my Centaur girl to…"
"You need to shut up too, Horseman."
"Do you want to fight?", Centaur Leader
"I am not afraid of you", Druid Leader
"I will let you see the mightiness of our dwarven people", Dwarf Leader
Alex makes a weird smile. He looked at the Titan Leader who was silent in the corner for help.
"We, Titan… is a bit too big. It's a shame that we can't join"
'So you too' Alex cursed secretly.
"If I can become small, I don't really mind"
Alex almost spurted blood when he heard that. 'Eh, you? What about gender? Not some girl but you? Are you a ***? What the fuck with this whole demi-human race! Please let this party over soon, after they help me, I better not meet them anymore'
"That's right? How about we ask the person in question?" The three leaders suddenly looked at him. Alex felt a chill.
"Young Alexander, which one will you choose?" Dwarf Leader asked him.
"You asked that in front of someone who will get married in a month?" Alex sweatdropped.
"What? You are going to marry next month?"
"That's right. How about a few more brides?"
Alex can't take it anymore. He took out his SR wine, The Rainbow Wine, he got from gacha. "This is a party, right? How about we drink first?"
He pulled out the lid. The wine inside was sparkling in a rainbow color. This might be the reason why its name is Rainbow Wine. Suddenly, a very fragrant wine aroma filled the air. All the leaders stop and looked at wine. Even the other dwarves also smell the wine aroma and dumbfounded.
"Young Alexander…what is this wine?", of course, the dwarf leader will be the first to ask.
"This is Rainbow Wine. It was a good wine" Alex said. While adding in his heart. 'It was an SR wine. Of course, it is good'
The Dwarf Leader immediately took the jar. He poured out the wine for Alex and himself.
"You can pour it yourself" The dwarf leader looked at the Druid Leader and the Centaur Leader.
They held their anger inside. After all, this wine aroma really captivated them.
"You all also pour it for yourself" The Dwarf Leader seems to want to share the wine with his subject too. And he remembers it was Alex wine. He looked at Alex hurriedly.
"It's fine." Alex gave him confirmation.
