In the central square of the Alfa Magic Kingdom, the morning sun cast mottled light and shadows through the treetops, and the breeze blew gently, bringing a breath of fresh air. In the square, the city lord Calder was walking back and forth nervously, with a sad look on his face. He was filled with anxiety, because he knew that today would be a day that would determine his fate.

"Alvin, are you really determined to do this?" Calder finally mustered up the courage to ask Alvin Stormson, who was standing in the center of the square. Alvin was tall, and his white robe fluttered gently in the breeze, making him look particularly majestic. His eyes were like the deep ocean, as if he could see through people's hearts.

"I have no choice, Calder." Alvin's voice was low and firm. "If the city lord really wants to accuse me and force me to leave the Alfa Magic Kingdom, then I can only respond in my own way."

Calder frowned, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew Alvin's strength, but he was more worried that Alvin's determination would bring irreversible consequences to the kingdom. "Don't you think this will plunge the kingdom into chaos? What we need is unity, not division."

"Unity?" Alvin sneered, "What do you think true unity is in this kingdom? Is it to let those selfish people continue to control everything? All I want is freedom and a just kingdom."

"But, Alvin, if you destroy the kingdom, there will be no turning back." Calder tried to persuade him, his tone revealing helplessness, "Have you ever thought about it, if we lose all this, we will have nothing."

"I have already lost everything." A trace of sadness flashed in Alvin's eyes. "I have lost trust, respect, and hope for the future. If I have to sacrifice my beliefs for a corrupt kingdom, I would rather choose to destroy it."

Calder took a deep breath, and his heart ached. He knew that Alvin's determination could not be shaken, and as the city lord, he had to make a difficult choice. "Then how can I make you feel at ease? What do you want in order to stop everything you are doing?"

"What I want is simple." Alvin's tone softened a little. "I hope you can recognize me as the new city lord and give me a real chance to change this kingdom. If I fail, I am willing to accept all punishments. If I succeed, it will be a victory for you and me."

Calder was stunned, and it was difficult for him to calm down. He knew that Alvin's proposal was not only a challenge to him personally, but also a challenge to the entire kingdom. "Are you sure you can do it? This is not an easy thing to do."

"I won't let you down, Calder." Alvin said firmly, his eyes shining, "I will use my power to protect this kingdom and bring it back to its glory. As long as you are willing to support me, I will let you see a brand new Alpha Magic Kingdom."

"Okay, I promise you." Kald finally made up his mind. Although he was still worried, he knew that Alvin in front of him was his only hope. "I will recognize you as the new city lord. I hope you can lead us out of this predicament."

"Thank you, Calder." Alvin smiled slightly, his eyes sparkling. "I will show you my determination. Now, we need to take action immediately, mobilize the power of the kingdom, and awaken those sleeping souls."

As the two talked, the atmosphere in the square began to change. People gradually gathered together, whispering and discussing Alvin's decision. The city lord's support surprised them, but they were more expectant and curious.

"Have you heard? Alvin is going to be the new city lord!" a young wizard said excitedly.

"Really? Can he really change anything?" asked another old man doubtfully.

"I think he can! He is the son of the storm and possesses powerful magical powers." There was admiration in the young wizard's eyes.

"But what if he fails? What price will we pay?" The old man's voice was low and seemed particularly heavy.

"We have to give him a chance, don't we?" the young wizard responded, his face full of confidence.

At this moment, Alvin stood on the high platform in the center of the square. The breeze blew his robe, and his voice echoed over the square: "My fellow countrymen, I stand here today not to fight for power, but for our common future! I am willing to dedicate everything I have to the Alfa Magic Kingdom, and hope to rebuild a home full of hope and justice with you!"

There were cheers from the crowd, and many people began to feel inspired by Alvin's determination, as if they saw the dawn of the future.

"Alvin! Alvin!" People shouted in unison, the sound surged like a tide, stirring everyone's heart.

"I need your support. Only by uniting together can we overcome the difficulties we are facing!" Alvin continued loudly, his eyes firm and fiery.

The city lord Alder sat behind a large wooden table, tapping his fingers unconsciously on the tabletop, looking a little anxious. There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and Alvin Stormson strode in, followed by his follower Locke.

"Alder, I heard that you have been doing some small things in the city recently?" Alvin's voice was as loud as thunder, instantly attracting the attention of the city lord.

Alder was slightly startled, and looked up at Alvin, trying to hide his inner panic: "Alvin, I don't know what you are talking about. I always follow the laws of the kingdom."

"Follow the rules?" Alvin sneered, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes, "Do you think I don't know that you are secretly colluding with those termites? What you are doing will only make the kingdom more seriously ill!"

Alder's heart tightened and his face turned pale: "I just want to protect my city, Alvin. The enemies outside are already making moves, I must have my own way out."

"A way out?" Alvin's tone became even more severe. "Don't you understand? Such a way out will only push you into the abyss! I warn you, if it happens again, I will send you to see the Dark Council!"

"Dark Council?" Alder's voice trembled. "Do you really dare to do this?"

"I don't want to do this, but if you continue to make stupid decisions, I have no other choice." Alvin's eyes were as cold as ice, merciless.

Locke watched quietly from the side, thinking in his heart. Although Alvin's words were sharp, he also knew in his heart that Alder was not completely without reason. Surrounded by foreign enemies, the city lord's situation was indeed difficult.

"Alvin," Locke finally spoke, trying to ease the atmosphere, "Can we listen to Alder's explanation first? Maybe he has a better plan."

Alder seized the opportunity and said quickly: "I admit that I have had contact with some people, but that was to obtain more information. As you know, there has been unrest in the kingdom recently, and I need to ensure that my city can resist attacks from foreign enemies."

"Your so-called information may just be lies told by those worms." Alvin's tone remained firm. "I will not allow anyone to endanger the safety of the kingdom, not even you, Alder."

Alder felt powerless, and a trace of anger surged in his heart: "Can't you understand my difficulties as a city lord? I am not betraying the kingdom, but protecting my people!"

"Protect? You use despicable means to protect the people?" Alvin's voice was like an icy blade. "You will only make those termites more rampant by doing this, and eventually you will be devoured!"

"I..." Alder was speechless, feeling bitter. He knew that what Alvin said was not entirely unreasonable, but he also understood that the pressure he faced was not as simple as it seemed.

"We need to unite." Locke tried to break the deadlock again, "If we can find the real enemy, maybe we can fight together."

"The real enemy?" Alvin raised his eyebrows and softened his tone. "Are you talking about those termites hiding in the dark?"

"That's right." Locke nodded. "We can first investigate and find out those who are truly threatening the kingdom. Then we can decide on the next course of action."

After hearing this, Alder felt a little relieved: "You mean, we can temporarily put aside our disputes and fight against the foreign enemies together?"

"Of course." Locke said with a smile, "We are all fighting for the future of the kingdom, aren't we?"

Alvin was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, I agree to put this matter aside for now. But you have to promise me that you will never have any contact with those termites again!"

"I will." Alder nodded heavily and vowed to himself that he would never put himself in such a predicament again.

As the atmosphere eased, the three began to discuss the current situation of the kingdom and future plans. Alvin proposed to set up a secret investigation team to track down the enemies hiding in the dark. Alder expressed his willingness to provide the necessary resources and support.

"We can start with the Chamber of Commerce in the city," Alder suggested. "They have close ties with the outside world and may be able to get some useful information."

"That's right." Alvin agreed, "And we also need to look for villages that were once infested by termites to see if we can find more clues."

Locke added: "We can also use magic to contact the lords of other towns to see if they have encountered similar problems."

"Very good, the plan is set." Alvin patted the table, his eyes flashing with determination, "For the sake of the Alfa Magic Kingdom, we must unite as one and never let any enemy take advantage of us!"

Elvin Stormson sat at the long table in the City Lord's Mansion, staring at the treaty sent from the Dark City with a serious expression. His fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if he was thinking about something. "Is this treaty really worthy of our trust?" He whispered to himself, with some doubt in his tone.

"Alvin, what are you thinking about?" Leah beside him asked softly, with concern in her eyes. Leah was Alvin's best friend, and as a Star Guardian, she had always been by his side to support him.

"I wonder if this treaty is just a trick of the Dark Kingdom." Alvin frowned, his voice low and firm, "We can't trust them easily."

"I agree." Harold, another wizard sitting at the table, interrupted with a hint of disdain on his face, "The Dark Kingdom has always been known for its cunning, and they will never give up their own interests easily."

"But if we reject this treaty, what will be the consequences?" Leah asked worriedly, her eyes moving between Alvin and Harold. "We need a solution, not an endless war."

Alvin nodded, understanding what Leah said. "We must find a balance that can protect Alfa's safety while not being forced into a desperate situation by the Dark Kingdom."

"I have an idea." Harold's eyes sparkled with wisdom. "We can send an envoy to the Dark City to investigate the situation in person and find out their true intentions."

"That's a good idea." Alvin looked thoughtful, "But who's willing to take the risk?"

"I'll do it." Leah said without hesitation, her tone firm, "I can transform into starlight, sneak into the dark city, and find out their movements."

"It's too dangerous for you to do this!" Alvin said anxiously, frowning, "I can't let you take such a risk."

"Alvin, I am the guardian of the starlight. I have the ability to protect myself." Leah's eyes were firm, as if conveying her determination to Alvin, "Besides, only I can get closer to them better."
