Today was the first eting Debauchery had in more than four months with everyone sitting in the sa room at the sa ti. Leader nodded to Bai to start explaining their current predicant.
Bai stood up and started narrating the events and speculation that was ford recently. "We have two pieces of very bad news, the cult has its own bases in Tartarus, they have ones in levels, 10, 20 and 25, those are the ones we know of, second, there are people in the cult referred to as heirs, they hold a very important role, we assu they are the next generation of leaders the cult has nurtured and they are so scared of leaks about these heirs they have out a whole section of the eternal forest under search to get to who ever tried to attack the heir and even terminated the escorts that grew up with the heir."
"We also know about a military departnt that is responsible for all the military action in the cult, we only know they have only ever done small scale clean up after the masters of the cult, but recently they are making communication with the science departnt and are looking for military grade technology, especially from the old era, indicating that they are on the move, or sothing is pushing them to act, it should not be us since they have ignored us no matter how many bases we destroy. We assu there is conflict within the decision makers and the recent movent of the military departnt is thanks to that. Therefore we have decided it is ti to get back inside of Tartarus, if their troops are still inside the bases we can deal a crippling blow to the cult and delay a good deal of ti"
"We have notified the guild about how the adventurers of the cult hid inside Tartarus and how they are being smuggled outside while being considered dead or disappeared. As for the how long, we are going to raid the bases on the 20th and 25th levels before we return to the surface, as for the kids, you can follow us inside when you are 14 as in around 8 months from now, you have freedom to use that ti as you wish."
"We expect that you would at least reach peak level two or level 3 as soon as possible, we will stay here for one more month to guide you youngsters on anything you need to learn, if all goes well, we will be there on your first day in Tartarus." Bai sat down after making his report and plan heard. Leader had an apologetic look on her face as she looked at the perplexed faces of the Valyrians.
"We were supposed to train you kids until you reach 50 attributes points but we have been rather stuck in this mire with the cult, although we are not sure what will happen or how fast it will be, but we will do our best, so let's hope for luck and we can et sooner than later" Leader dismissed the eting, telling the youngsters they had a free day to do whatever they wished to, before an intense session of training for the next month to boost the kids as best as possible.
The Valyrians took the opportunity to catch up with each other after the long separation, they choose the baths because it was their first day off in a while, they had missed the feeling of being able to relax and enjoy being lazy.
The first order of business is to check everyone's status and compare their harvests during the previous months and there it was, gasps and sharp air intakes sounded as one. " 2 points in 4 months? Did you guys go away to laze about?" Asked Yunan in an aggrieved voice "are you a monster?" We fought day in and day out with level 3 monsters like there was no tomorrow" replied a hurt Lili.
"What do you an? I worked very hard for my 8 points, smithing at least two items per day and fight a horde of dwarven masters for the rest of the day, when they are not too frustrated by my good work, i get to sleep 6 hours, the spirit heart had very little to do with this". Continued Yunan in self defense.
"And you think it's easy fighting level 3 monsters? I can not say we would win against your dwarven horde but there must be sothing with the smithing lessons that boosted you up" Reina felt like she wasted her last few months.
"Yeah, doing dual training and having the spirit heart in combination with your endless luck, is the only thing I see getting you to 30 points this fast" said Lili accompanied by grunts and nods of acknowledgent. There was a temporary silence followed by hearty laughter from all the four, no matter what happened to them during the ti they separated, it was just adding to their banks of experience.
When the laughing voiced quieted down, Yunan made a sad statent. "The heart is dying, i think we only have 10 months left, we tried feeding it the mana bomb and another pure mana construct, but it did not even leech mana from them, i will need you to spend this ti with , we can get those 50 points if we add a bit of harshness to the regi, at least you can get the last ten points from it passively if you stay around for the next year"
"10? Are you trying to get a head start on us?" Growled Lili. " I think it's ti to see if your dwarven horde is as helish as level 3 monsters" said Leol, Reina also nodded her head "how bad could they get?". Yunan replayed deliberately" I have been fighting against level 5 dwarves ever since you left, sotis even defending is not possible, and they swarm, how can level 3 monster compare to that?" he took a mont to let that sink, "they said only by reaching level 5 combat wise will I be able to make level 5 items and improve my skills enough to use the drops from level and higher"
Soon the laughter returned to the baths and the chat topics changed from complaints about Training to complaints about the teachers,
