The other city lords looked at each other, obviously surprised by this confrontation. City Lord Alfa was secretly glad that Alvin's arrival had changed the situation. He whispered to the city lord beside him, "Alvin does have his reasons. We shouldn't waste time here."

"You're right." The other city lord nodded. Although he had some reservations about Alvin, he had to admit that Alvin was indeed a capable young man.

The Storm Lord's expression became increasingly gloomy. He obviously did not want to back down at this time. "Do you think I will be affected by your words? I have ruled Storm City for many years and have never seen a young man as rude as you."

"Rude?" Alvin raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes sharp. "If rude means telling the truth, then I am willing to continue being rude. You can choose to continue arguing here, or you can choose to work with us to find a solution to the problem."

"You are such an arrogant fellow." The Storm Lord's voice was low, as if he was suppressing his inner anger. "I want to know, what ability does the representative of the Alpha Magic Kingdom have to make all of us obey your command?"

"Ability?" A gleam flashed in Alvin's eyes, and he smiled slightly, as if he had already anticipated the Storm Lord's reaction. "I don't want to command anyone, but I believe that true ability lies in unity and cooperation, not unilateral threats and suppression."

The Storm Lord's expression became even uglier. It was obvious that he was not used to this attitude. He was silent for a while, and finally chose to compromise. "Well, since you want to cooperate so much, let's discuss the specific matters."

The atmosphere in the conference hall gradually eased. Alvin knew that although the Storm Lord did not completely accept him, at least the conversation between the two sides had begun to take a turn for the better. He nodded slightly to show his agreement.

"First, we need to clarify the goal of this negotiation." Alvin began to analyze seriously, "The common enemy we face is those forces that try to destroy peace. We must unite and deal with it together."

The other city lords nodded in agreement. Alfa City Lord also stepped forward and added, "Yes, we must clarify our respective responsibilities and obligations in order to achieve success in future cooperation."

"Then, let's discuss the specific cooperation plan." Alvin continued, "I suggest that we set up a joint committee to coordinate the affairs between the cities."

Although the Storm Lord still felt dissatisfied, he also realized the necessity of such cooperation. He nodded slowly to show his agreement. "Okay, I also support this proposal. We must take action and not let the enemy take advantage of us."

As the negotiations progressed, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious, and Alvin's performance won the recognition of other city lords. Although Storm City Lord still had some grudges against him, he had to admit that Alvin was indeed an excellent negotiator.

"It seems that the young representative of the Alpha Magic Kingdom is not as simple as I imagined." The Lord of Storm City thought to himself. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he had a new opinion of Alvin's abilities in his heart.

"Thank you for your support." At the end of the meeting, Alvin smiled and thanked everyone. He knew that although the negotiation was full of twists and turns at the beginning, it eventually laid the foundation for cooperation between the cities.

On the high tower of the Dark City, Alvin Stormson quietly gazed at the cloudy sky outside the window, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. Since the outbreak of the First Wizarding War, the whole world has fallen into endless war and chaos. He knew that only through peace talks could there be a glimmer of hope for this war.

"Alvin, do you really believe they will come?" Anna, the female mayor of Crystal City, frowned slightly, with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.

"Of course," Alvin turned around, his eyes firm, "If we don't try, we will never know the result. Only through dialogue can we find a solution."

"I still think they might not trust us." Anna shook her head, inevitably feeling a little doubtful.

At this moment, Carl, the Lord of Thunder City, walked in with a hint of disdain on his face, "Huh, trust? In this era, trust has become worthless. Do you think the Lords of those dark cities will lay down their weapons and listen to the nonsense of us Lords?"

"Karl, can't you think about it from another perspective?" Alvin sighed, "We are here for peace. We cannot give up hope because of past hatred."

"Peace?" Carl sneered, "In this cruel world, peace is just a luxury. How can we talk about peace when each of us carries a heavy hatred?"

"I think that only by facing each other's hatred can we find the possibility of reconciliation." Anna interrupted, trying to ease the atmosphere.

"You are all too naive." Carl's tone was still sharp, "I hope you can understand that war is the norm in this world."

At this moment, Storm City Lord Emily pushed open the door and interrupted their argument. "That's enough, Carl! Can't you just try to believe it? We have already lost too much in the war, do you want to continue to let more lives disappear in the war?"

"Emily, you are too optimistic." Carl retorted, "We have already seen each other's cruelty. Do we have to continue to spin in this vortex?"

"I'm here to negotiate, not to argue." Alvin's tone became more resolute. "We must unite to face greater threats."

"Threat?" Carl raised his eyebrows. "Are you referring to the lords of those dark cities?"

"That's right." Alvin nodded. "We must let them understand that only unity can resist foreign enemies."

"So, how do we start this negotiation?" Emily asked, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"I would like to invite the Lords of Dark City to participate in our negotiations." Alvin said, "We need a neutral location to ensure that they will not feel threatened."

"A neutral location?" Anna thought for a moment. "Perhaps we can consider the meeting hall in Storm City. The environment there is elegant and suitable for negotiations."

"Good idea." Alvin agreed, "I will invite them myself."

Karl shook his head, seemingly not optimistic about the peace talks. "Do you really think they will accept your invitation?"

"I believe they will see hope for peace." Alvin's voice was firm and powerful.

A few days later, Alvin arrived at the Dark City as promised, and faced the city lords in black robes. Their eyes were full of vigilance and disdain, as if they were questioning Alvin's motives.

"Alvin Stormson, why are you here?" Dark, the lord of the Dark City, asked coldly, his voice as piercing as ice.

"I'm here to invite you to participate in the peace talks." Alvin was not afraid, his tone was calm and firm, "We have lost too much in the war. Only through dialogue can we find a solution."

"Peace talks?" Dak sneered, "Do you think we will believe your lies?"

"I'm not trying to convince you, but I hope we can find a common solution." Irwin continued, "We all know that war will only bring more pain."

"Pain?" A trace of anger flashed in Dak's eyes. "You Lords of the City of Light simply cannot understand what we have been through."

"I understand your pain." Alvin's voice was low and sincere, "but we can no longer let hatred dictate our future."

Dak was silent for a moment, as if thinking about what Alvin said. Finally, he slowly said, "If you really want to negotiate, I will consider participating, but I will not trust you easily."

"I will try my best to show you our sincerity." Alvin smiled slightly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

A few days later, the day of peace talks finally arrived. The meeting hall in Storm City was decorated solemnly and elegantly, and the long table was filled with rich food and drinks. Alvin, Anna, Carl and Emily had already been waiting in the hall, their hearts full of anticipation and nervousness.

"Do you think they will come?" Anna asked with a hint of uneasiness in her voice.

"Yes." Alvin said firmly, "I believe they will come for peace."

At this moment, the door slowly opened, and the lords of the Dark City walked in, led by Dak, followed by several burly guards. Their arrival instantly quieted the entire hall, and the air was filled with tension.

"Welcome." Alvin walked forward with a smile, trying to ease the atmosphere.

"We are here to negotiate, not to listen to your pleasantries." Dak said coldly, his eyes like sharp blades.

"I understand." Alvin nodded and motioned for everyone to take a seat. "We hope to find a common solution here."

The negotiations unfolded in a tense atmosphere. Irwin elaborated on the pain brought by the war and the necessity of resolving the problem through dialogue. Dak interrupted from time to time, questioning Irwin's motives and even proposing some harsh conditions.

"You must withdraw your attacks on us before you can talk about peace," Dak said mercilessly.

"We'll consider it, but we also hope that you can stop attacking other towns." Alvin tried to remain calm and try to make the other party understand.

"This is just the beginning." Anna interjected, "We need to find a solution that both sides can accept."

"Solution?" Dak sneered, "Your Lords of Bright City don't understand what we've been through."

“We are willing to listen to your voices,” Emily said gently. “If you are willing to share, we may be able to find a way out together.”

"City Lord, have you really decided to invite the envoys from the Alfa Magic Kingdom?" A burly consultant named Arno frowned and looked a little uneasy.

"Of course, Arno." The Lord of Crystal City's voice was gentle but firm. "We need to establish a good relationship with Alpha in order to gain a foothold in this turbulent era."

"But their relationship with the Dark City has always been unclear. Should we be concerned about this?" Another consultant, named Lily, sounded worried.

The Lord of Crystal City smiled slightly, his eyes firm, "I will make it clear at the meeting that we will never have any alliance with the Dark City. We must convey the position of Crystal City."

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the city gate, and everyone looked towards the gate. As the gate slowly opened, several messengers in gorgeous robes walked in slowly. They were obviously representatives of the Alpha Magic Kingdom.

"Lord of Crystal City, our king sent me here to express his friendly intentions." The leading envoy, named Carl, had a voice as gentle as the spring breeze.

"Welcome, Carl." The Crystal City Lord nodded slightly with a smile on his face, "Please come in, let's have a good chat."

Everyone walked into the city lord's conference room. The room was gorgeously decorated, and the crystal chandelier emitted a soft light, reflecting everyone's face. The crystal city lord asked everyone to take a seat, and then said: "I hope we can take this opportunity to enhance mutual understanding and cooperation."

"Of course, we are very much looking forward to cooperating with Crystal City." Carl smiled slightly, with wisdom shining in his eyes. "However, I think we also need to clarify the matter about the Dark City."

The Lord of Crystal City frowned slightly, realizing that this topic was a sensitive one. He cleared his throat and said seriously, "I solemnly declare that Crystal City will never establish any form of alliance with Dark City."
