บท 174: Partnership.

"And of course, you will have my cooperation with future matters that might be difficult for you to deal alone..." Ozul hit the nail while it was hot.

That was the most important reason for proposing this deal. The other matters only concerned the organization as a whole. Getting help from an individual at Rank-9 was better than having a whole Empire backing you.

A whole army consisting of their leaders at Rank-8 could not change the outcome of a battle between two Rank-9 Mages. That's why only the individuals at this level mattered in battles to them.

The Rank-10 Mages were too aloof to ever interfere in their matters, while the help from anyone weak did not matter.

"Of course, that is only when I find it reasonable," Ozul added.

"Yes, of course! But what do you want in return?" the man asked.

It was a wonder to Ozul how this person even thought of proposing a partnership with him with a little to no idea of what benefits he could give him.
