Herag followed the Squirrel to the long table and found an empty chair on each side, with another empty chair at the head of the table.

"Where do you want to sit?" the Squirrel jumped onto the long table and asked, turning back.

"Anywhere is fine," Herag replied.

The Squirrel scratched its head and said, "Then sit next to the White Weasel. He's a bit foolish but won't suddenly go berserk like Udman."

The Udman in the Squirrel's words refers to the headless giant. After speaking, the Squirrel jumped into the chair next to Udman and sat down.

Udman remained seated in his chair, arms crossed, with no reaction.

But from what the Squirrel said, Udman was likely a dangerous figure.

Herag then sat next to the White Weasel, and tea splashed next to him.

Turning his head, he saw the White Weasel still feeding itself tea, just missing the right spot.

"Hello, my name is Elizabeth. May I ask how you managed to dress so exquisitely?" Lady Green asked.

Herag wore a puzzled look and replied, "I don't understand."

He used very brief language, deliberately acting a bit confused.

"You couldn't be newly awakened, could you?" Elizabeth seemed to have thought of something and looked at the Squirrel, hoping it would explain since it brought Herag.

Seeing Elizabeth's glance, the Squirrel said, "He might be newly awakened, possibly an old-timer."

Elizabeth nodded, looking at Herag with added respect and no longer pursued the question about his attire.

The Squirrel continued to ask Herag, "What's your name?"

Herag took a moment to recall and uttered, "Eternal."

He used the term 'Eternal' from the common language of the Abyss Plane, which, besides its literal meaning, also implied ancient and inherited.

Everyone who heard turned to look, even the White Weasel halted its actions and stared at Herag, seemingly very shocked.

This time, Herag truly didn't understand why they were so excited. He had only used the name he held as a God, the Eternal God.

The Poker Gentleman looked at Herag and said, "Unexpectedly, it's a newly awakened lord. Thank you for choosing to attend our tea party. I am Dionysus."

Herag didn't understand why they concluded he must be a newly awakened lord just from a casually spoken name.

Upon reflection, he suspected that perhaps the word 'Eternal' had some special meaning he was unaware of.

This term in the Abyss Plane was probably not one that anyone could use, and when combined with the aura of his Ancestral Bloodline, these people essentially assumed he was some newly awakened figure.

Herag suddenly remembered that when he entered his Divine State, Misu had asked for his title, and he casually said "Eternal."

Looking back now, certain things might have happened then.

Normally, not everyone can achieve the Divine State; only those with significant strength and status qualify.

When Herag gave himself the title of Eternal, he likely subtly changed some things.

The term 'Eternal' in the Abyss Plane was not something just anyone could bear; the fact that Herag could easily utter it without any burden indicated he could inherently carry the word.

This alone was enough to evoke respect and apprehension from the Squirrel and others.

"Lord Eternal, the Mushroom King should be arriving soon. You might want to try the red tea in front of you first. The Mushroom King himself brewed it," the Squirrel said respectfully.

Herag opened the teapot lid and found it was brewed with many red mushrooms and some red leaves, seemingly gathered from the Red Forest outside.

The tea was bright red, resembling blood, though not as thick.

The tea's aroma was sharp and incredibly unpleasant.

At least from a human perspective, this smell was very pungent.

However, judging by the Squirrel and others' expressions, they seemed to enjoy the scent, as if it relaxed their minds.

Despite a moment of hesitation, Herag poured himself a cup of tea from the teapot and drank it in one gulp.

The taste was indeed very off-putting, like swallowing a cup of gasoline that exploded in his mouth.

Herag dared to drink it purely because of the existence of his Inner Domain.

With the Inner Domain, even if this tea were deadly poison to him, it would have no effect.

The taste and texture were hard to endure, but these were minor issues.

Herag finished drinking without a change of expression and said, "Not bad."

He then picked up the teapot and poured himself another cup, sipping it slowly.

If an ordinary human drank this tea, they would likely be severely injured or worse, as it was something humans simply couldn't consume.

The Squirrel, seeing Herag seemed to enjoy it, was quite pleased.

As Herag drank tea, he also observed the others.

Seeing Herag not being particularly talkative, the others didn't dare interrupt, so they silently drank their tea.

Elizabeth occasionally stole glances at Herag, seemingly envious of his human appearance.

Herag felt strong auras from these demons, certainly stronger than his Level 3 Wizard powers.

Even the Squirrel across from him was likely at least a Level 4 or 5 Demon.

Without activating his Bloodline Mark, Herag was no match for them.

But now they seemed to have misunderstood his identity, never considering him just a Level 3 Wizard.

Even with the Ancestral Bloodline Power boost from activating the Bloodline Mark, he couldn't surpass them by much.

After a while, there was movement from the cabin.

Herag turned to see a plump man with a peculiar hat emerging, holding a teapot.

Looking closely, the man wore the teapot as a hat, inverted and placed on his head.

"Hello, Mr. Eternal, welcome to the Red Forest and thank you for joining my tea party," the Mushroom King said with a smile, sitting at the head of the table with the teapot.

Herag nodded, "Hello."

He sensed an intense aura of threat from the Mushroom King, evidently far stronger than the Squirrel, Elizabeth, and the other demons, a presence not to be underestimated.

"Well then, since everyone is here, let's officially begin today's tea party. While enjoying the tea, we need to discuss some subsequent matters. Recently, the Dark Elves over in the Dark Swamp have been causing us trouble. We in the Red Forest are not to be trifled with; it's time they paid some price," the Mushroom King said solemnly.
