"Um…. Lily, you got summoned by the High Council again…." Lhorne replied. His face seemed tired because he had organized another food shipment from Regoia and cultivated new farming fields in the new village.
"Again? What is the letter about? Is it because we traded another food with ores? Why do they nitpick everything we do?" Lily sighed. She was getting less sleep lately organizing the new resources from Silvainesse's domain. Lily needed to make a profit but could not raise the price that much. And thus, she crammed the carriage from Silvainesse with iron wares to be sent to Silvane's foundry on the return trip.
"It is about the golderite and titan ores. You must come this time as this summon was from the king," Lhorne explained.
"Alright. Let's prepare the carriage." Lily sighed once more.
Lily came again to the capital of the elven kingdom. The city was covered by a weird white wall of trees. Once again, we were delivered into the meeting room for the high council. However, unlike the previous meetings, this time, all the lords attended the meeting. The four assholes with their boss Resse, Alistar, Edelweiss, Silvane, Silvainesse, and Master Ghander.
"Greetings once again, Lord Lily. You are certainly very busy lately." King Garme commented while smiling. He didn't talk much when we were at Hoeth Academy, but he behaved like other lords here. He was more amicable than I thought.
"Excellent work Lord Lily. We finally knew why those cave dwellers didn't trade their golderite and titan ores for over twenty years." Resse also applauded us even though his words were derogatory. I felt that the elves remained exclusive and didn't progress because of these badmouthers.
"Lord Lily, we now figured out how to gather Titan ores and Golderite. While their price is indeed steep. We are willing to pay the price. I shall write a letter to King Sigliendurne, and then, I shall ask you, Lord Ghander, and Lord Edelweiss to gather these Titan ores." King Garme said. It was clear from his voice that the subjugation of the undead lands was a priority above all else.
"What? But if Lord Edelweiss and Lord Ghander are absent, who will guard our borders and heal our wounds? There are epidemics on dwarven borders right now! We can't afford this!" The central assholes made a fuss again, but the king paid them no mind as he was firm in his word.
"King Garme, Please let me accompany their journey instead of Lord ghander. He is needed at the border. I am sure my sword shall be useful, though not as much as Lord Ghander." Alistar promoted himself.
"Very well then. I apologize for the trouble Lord Alistar," King Garme nodded.
"Who shall be the sacrifice for Golderite then?" Lily finally talked about the elephant in the room.
The elves can only look at each other back and forth without words. The central assholes were very quiet as well. Appointing someone was against the high magic of the elves, but no one was willing to go into the torture of getting poured by molten gold either.
"We shall discuss that at a later date. For now, we shall move forth to obtain titan ores." King Garme finally broke the silence, and then the party was set.

Whoa… So Lord Alistar also had blessings. I never got to take a look at his status before. He seemed like a prim and proper businessman from the outside. I never thought he was like Hercules or hulk on the battlefield.
"What a shame we could not bring Ghander to Deep mountain. He is level 200. I am sure our journey would be much easier with him on our side." I complained, but Lily replied negatively.
"He would steal all of our experience points. We are only level twenty. We can level up more in such a dangerous dungeon!" She retorted to me.
Alistar and Edelweiss shall bring five retainers each, and we shall get Nora, Mattheus, Lhorne, Jona, Alith, and Sana. I hoped our entire group could level up after this trip.
"And such is the group that shall traverse in search of titan ores." King Garme declared. "The group shall depart when we receive their message that the epidemic is over. Could I trouble to deliver this message to one of their traders?" King Garme gave us the letter.
We were free to read it, and I was shocked that the king apologized to the previous golderite and titan ores which were used to make pendants for his wife. He honestly stated that he didn't know the value of such ores. If he knew that Golderite embodied someone's soul, he would not waste them.
After a lengthy explanation for the previous Golderite incident, he asked for help regarding the new Golderite and Titan ores. He said that he was willing to expend some help traversing the deep mountain for such ores as the subjugation of the undead takes priority, and he asked dwarves for help. For Golderite, he also said he would find some willing candidates later. And thus concluded the letter that would be given to King Sig of dwarves.
"What a lazy elves…. I think they dumped all their job on us." I complained, but I understood that there was no way else with the quarantine law, which was in effect between our countries.
"I thank you for your summons. May the sun bless you all. I shall now depart to my region to deliver the letter." Lily bowed down, and the meeting was over.
Two weeks later, The dwarves traders arrived at the quarantine zone for trade with Jack just a day later.
