Chapter 1831: Schemes

The Ancient Celestial Ruins expedition was an event of paramount significance, and its outcome had far-reaching implications for the new generation of magus within the universe. It was a high-stakes endeavor, marked by the potential for the rise or fall of those who embarked on this journey.

The challenge of not being able to assign senior or influential elders from different factions to accompany the younger magus frequently compelled these factions to enlist mercenaries. These hired individuals served various purposes, such as reinforcing their ranks, safeguarding faction interests, or conducting discreet investigations into the activities of rival factions. This environment made it ripe for secret plots, hidden agendas, and intricate schemes to unfold among the participants.
