In the blink of an eye, four years had passed since the strange gift Minos had received from a level 110 Sovereign identical to the enemy who had almost killed him and Maximillian earlier.
In those years, he hadn't had a chance to leave the guild headquarters, nor had he encountered the previous Sovereign. From the looks of things, his time to meet that strange tree had not yet come. As for the one interested in him, the creature had shown no reaction during this period.
Minos merely continued with his responsibilities as an external member, fulfilling his obligatory individual and collective missions, doing his Law Enforcer work, and accumulating merit points.
He was already an Elite Soldier, so his next promotion would be to the level of a Junior Officer. However, Minos still didn't feel ready to compete for this position, as he had yet to finish gathering his merit points, and he still wanted to advance a few more times before making his attempt.
