Capítulo 1717: Breakthrough: Spiritual Sage 

At the headquarters of the Longus family...

In a remote part of that headquarters built among the trees of the great forest in which it was located, a group of mid-level Spiritual Sages was gathered in secret.

This group was basically composed of hybrids of humans and beasts, members of the lower nobility of this family.

When they had come to this continent, part of the family that had mixed with spiritual beasts to ensure their survival had been demoted afterward and had lost part of their privileges.

Even though they used this strategy to strengthen the whole family, those who had remained pure and benefited from this decision to mix their lineage with others saw these beings as their inferiors.

Precisely because of this, the men and women gathered in this group were already opposed to the patriarch's group, even for matters not connected to the chosen one.
