Chapter 293 - Trust (1/2)

”What is it?” Asked Kilia.

”Right after you leave, I'm going to go to the place indicated to me to join the Demonic Tree. I want to ask you some questions.” Calmly said Evan.

”Mr. Rave told me you were busy with an experiment, did you decide to put it off for later?” Kilia asked.

Evan nodded, ”Yes, the one year that Rave gave me is not enough for me. I have other things to do, just like all of us.”

”I understand what you want to know?” Said Kilia. She didn't mind answering Evan's questions, but only because Rave was interested in Evan.

A mere mage on the - Two-Pointed Star stage couldn't get her attention. She was many times stronger.

<Hmm, this guy has already reached that stage. It's unbelievable. However, if by the time he was in our castle, he was already close to breaking his third Barrier, it's not surprising>. Kilia thought.

There weren't many mages at the Two-Pointed Star stage in every organization. On the other hand, there were a huge number of them compared to the mages in the - Three-Pointed Star stage.

”When I join the Demonic Tree, will I have to obey the orders of my elders? And if I have to, for how long?” Evan asked.

He wanted to join the Demonic Tree, but he wanted to get resources from this organization and become stronger with it. He was particularly interested in forbidden spells and the Seven Princes of Hell spell quest.

”I see. You want to finish your business first and then be active within the organization. But, it's not that simple. Even though you're already in the - Two-Pointed Star stage, you'll still be a novice for at least one year when you join the organization.” Kilia quickly replied.

”I take it pledges aren't allowed to act on their own?” Evan was cautious.

”Not exactly, but the gist is similar. Regardless of your strength, you'll be a newbie pledge because we have to see if you're loyal to us first. We are the most dangerous and powerful dark organization in The Kingdom of Fallen Hopes. We have to trust the person and know that their goals are the same as ours before we can call them a full member.” Pronounced Kilia.

Evan thought to himself, <Hmm, that makes perfect sense. They are entitled to assume that another such newcomer or I might be a traitor. If I were them, I would do the same.>

He sighed and asked, ”What does a newbie have to do to earn trust?”
