"Now that you all know the name and element of your new brothers and sisters let's get down to business, unlike other units we'll have a good time getting to know each other better after our first mission. One of the reasons for this is that apart from Ulric who can even gain a lot with the help of the other team members, all only green core mages and warriors are preparing for their advance, the duty of those who have already succeeded in advancing to the core. orange help our brothers and brothers in this challenge."
"Both I and the high command want everyone who has a green core here to be able to advance before the end of the war to the orange core. Apart from Ulric you all wish to make a career in the kingdom's army, if not for that the superiors were not so willing to give advantages to our unit, for every one of you who succeeds in those who are already in the orange core will be rewarded."
I feel like I'm the different meddler within the unit, I already expected to be a highlight in the unit, but I feel like Raven is emphasizing that I'm different to others on purpose and in a pretty blatant way.
"Happy? Having more than one person who can tell you and advise you during this phase of your cultivation is very helpful, and it's normal for you not to think about it too much right now, but it will become completely clear in the future. The moment you advance completely without a single flaw at your core, each of you will have to pay a lavish fee to the entire group as a thank you and celebration for having advanced perfectly."
"Just to give you an example how good your luck is to be here, when our first mission is over the army will start looking for an elemental source completely compatible with your elemental seed of the proper level and also some elemental crystals that will be useful during your advance. Absorbing an elemental seed can be seen as a risky move to advance, but doing so makes the right move, not only can fighters who specialize in their elemental energy take advantage of this elemental source to improve their chances of advancement without negative side effects."
"An aura-focused fighter as an example trying to absorb an elemental source compatible with him is going to be a lot of loss and his elemental energy can get a little out of control until he gets used to it. But if you absorb it with the help of a rune formation customized to your needs, the help of a fighter or mage with great control over the same combination of elements, and a few more assistance products, the number of gains you will get from absorbing the source will be huge and that includes a drastic improvement in your elemental control."
"All of this combined pruning even improves your chance of advancement by sixty percent of what your normal chances are, that's an overwhelming difference. The mages also have their own assistance plan that can give you as tremendous an improvement as the warriors for your advancement."
"That alone is a tremendous gain for all of you who have the dream of reaching the orange core, but you have to understand that this is not being given away for free to you. This is a reward for your present and future work, only those who are dedicated during missions and outside of them, can you deserve such expensive and rare treatment as this to improve your chances of advancement."
This is shocking, I may not know much about the pressure of planning such an important breakthrough, but from what I've learned before from Ana the advancement from the green core to the orange core and a struggle against nature and fate. Without the divine power of a god to protect you and help luck plays a very strong role during this situation, having so many helps to improve your chances of advancement prepared in a personalized way for each one is an incredible reward.
I wonder if this is true for me as well or will I receive a different reward for my efforts while I am part of this unit. I just hope I don't get forgotten at a time like this of giving out abnormally expensive and personalized rewards, it should never be too early to prepare for my advancement and this advancement doesn't have to be the same as my other companions, an aid to advancing to the next level. green core would already be an incredible help.
"Happy?! I would be in your place, but now that you're happy, let's go to the dangerous mission. I hope none of you think this initial mission is going to be easy, this is not a training mission but a real mission it is very dangerous for all of us, remember to try not to die, Ulric you have to be very careful and stay away from the strong enemies that are basically everyone."
She's really kidding me, but it makes me think she didn't get to use my name when she talked about helping out while advancing to them. Maybe I don't even have a reward related to the word or idea of advancement, that's very sad. I hope I'm wrong.
"As I said before, our team's area of expertise is basically eliminating evil that can or will harm the interests of our kingdom. I'm not going to say this will be easy in any way possible, you'll probably see and have to deal with horrible situations that can mark you in a negative way forever."
"Don't think you've seen cruelty because you've seen some bizarre things like human sacrifices to gift evil gods, that's basic to some of our possible targets. I'm going to share one of my worst memories without too much detail just so you can understand what you can find when entering a place where true evil resides and has acted."
"I was nineteen that year, I was serving as an assistant to learn my family's arts and crafts. I won't say the exact location for obvious reasons for all of you, if you don't understand the reason for this you must remember a rule and it's simple, remember that you should never share the content of our missions with other people even if they superior, Mia and I are responsible for doing that."
"I entered a small house in a dark forest the air upon entering that place smelled of death, but this smell was not simply of blood and rotting flesh that attacks your sense of smell, there was a coldness that penetrated my flesh and chilled my bones I felt the pain and despair in that house. When I entered the trapdoor that led to the temple of a god, I barely saw the most horrible scene of my life until that moment."
"The sacrifices weren't people being ripped to pieces or their bodies mutilated, they were children and youth under thirteen and over four. Everyone was dead, but that wasn't the reason I threw up at that moment."
"The bodies of the children showed how much they were tortured, there were some that their skins are being ripped off and exposed by hooks like a macabre piece of art, the guts of others are scattered on a table, where other blindfolded children ate them to be later sacrificed. like pure cannibals in a disturbing ritual, I had many nightmares about this image when my aunt explained to me what had happened at that red table."
"Avia countless bodies of young girls and boys that showed they were tortured, abused and used as toys by the insane cultists, all in that basement were used to worship an evil goddess who must not be named because her name is linked with countless curses that have been of her own making, a twisted way of hurting her worshipers' enemies and making them suffer to worship her by living up to her damned name."
"I would rather live in a world where not one of you can see such a scene, but such a world does not exist. There are countless places where evil can use the innocent in terrible ways and we're going to destroy those places and if we're lucky we might even save the innocent, but that usually doesn't go as we would like. I have already had to use my blade in order to give peace to a victim who could never recover from the wrong done to her."
"Our first mission is to track down a criminal group that has created an extremely complex route of questionable use materials in our realm. This group called the Three-Eyed Snake, which uses a three-eyed red rock snake as its symbol, has trade links with a group of cultists in another realm."
"Certain clues and rumors have worried many officials, it seems that this group of cultists may be interested in profiting when war breaks out, which is a very common attitude. Our mission is to capture the leader of the smugglers and preferably not destroy their business in the kingdom by doing so."
"I know it's quite complicated to do this and probably some of you may not even have a good idea how to do it, but this is essential for us to be able to trap the cultists in case we can't eliminate the cult leader of this group of cultists first. of them being in the kingdom. We have to plan for the pyro senary before making a move against the cultists, after securing information and control over the leader responsible for this smuggling line we can assess the scenario of attacking the cultists."
"Let's start with the information we have on the smugglers."
I feel like shit because I don't want to see what Raven saw in his life, but the fact that I don't know if I can handle such a violent scenario is an insecurity I can't control.
Hope I can handle this.
