Noah understood that they had entered inside the area habitable by human cultivators, but his mind was on something that didn't concern the meeting.
"Can I return to my training now?"
Noah asked Elder Julia, but the latter simply shook her head before speaking a few words.
"No, the Hive needs you at the meeting, you represent the new generations after all! Remember to change yourself before the banquet."
'Banquet?'
Noah was surprised by the turn of events and was about to ask more about that matter, but Elder Julia just vanished once again.
He could only heave a loud sigh before diving toward the ground.
His vision changed when he crossed the barrier of the invisible dome.
Tall buildings appeared in his view, a small city had been built in that area in those months.
Also, he could see small groups of rank 3 cultivators walking through the street, he couldn't help but realize how the human assets of the Hive had grown in the past years.
Noah looked in the distance, toward the area with the shining lakes, but he was only able to see that a tall defensive wall had been erected in front of them.
'A lot has changed while I trained, the life of the mortals seems so fast.'
He thought when he saw how his old home had been transformed into something entirely different.
It didn't take much for him to find where he was supposed to go, he only needed to follow the presences of the heroic cultivators under the dome.
Noah landed on top of a large building that stood at the center of the city and found Elder Duke waiting for him.
Elder Duke notified him that a bath and new robes had been prepared on the floors below, so Noah didn't find any reason to waste time.
The way he saw it, the sooner the banquet began, the sooner it would end.
Not even an hour later, he found himself in a large hall that featured many long tables.
Delicacies and fine wines filled the surface of the tables, and both human and heroic cultivators were seated next to them.
Of course, the order of the seats followed the rank of the cultivators.
Elder Julia, Noah, and Elder Duke sat on one side and faced Ian, Octavia, and Daniel.
In contrast, the other human cultivators sat at some distance from that group of powerful entities.
Noah ate in silence and enjoyed the excellent wine that was served on the table, but Daniel kept his eyes on him for the whole time.
Meanwhile, Elder Duke entertained the guests with a long speech about the features of the piece of Immortal Lands, he seemed the appointed mediator for that meeting.
The banquet ended after a few hours in which Noah never stopped eating and drinking.
The Hive was serving cooked magical beasts' meat after all, he preferred it raw, but he wouldn't waste such a nourishing meal just for his tastes.
Then, the human cultivators left the room, and large sofas and praying mats replaced the tables.
Even the remaining food was taken away with a gesture of Elder Julia's hand, and only the wine remained between them.
"You are free to begin with your requests, did you find something interesting in our territories?"
Elder Duke spoke as he turned toward Ian.
Elder Julia was a rank 5 cultivator, she was there only as a show of power, and Noah simply didn't care, he only wanted to finish the translation of the Warp spell.
"There is something that I wanted to ask before proceeding with the meeting."
Daniel spoke, surprising Elder Duke who thought that it would have been Ian the one to lead their side of the conversation.
"Noah Balvan, did you kill Phoebe and Manuel back in the Bare Dungeon?"
