"А? How do you know ?"
Evan was sure he had never t this girl before. He didn't understand how she could know him. Evan was wary, this situation seed very strange to him.
"Don't worry, it's nothing unusual, my na is Avice Ront. As you have already realized, I'm a mber of the "Demonic Tree." Before I answer your question, tell the purpose of your watching us and following ." Avice guessed the reasons for Evan's actions, but she had to be sure of his intentions.
Evan was silent for a while. He decided to answer honestly, there was no point in hiding anything, "It's simple, I want to join you, and so I tried to find mbers of your organization to talk to. As you can see, I succeeded."
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA," Avice suddenly laughed.
"Bitch, it even hurts to laugh, that monster's beat up so badly, sorry, but it's really funny."
Avice's spatial ring glowed, and a small vial of blue liquid appeared in her hands. She quickly drank it and continued:
"How do you think new people co into a secretive organization like the "Demonic Tree"?" Avice said calmly.
This question threw Evan into a stupor. He wanted to answer that the recruits probably found the "Demonic Tree" mbers themselves, but he felt he had missed sothing. So important detail kept slipping through him.
"Evan, about a year and a half ago, the "Demonic Tree" found out about you. It's not the recruits who find us. We pick the ones we want and offer to join us."
"Hmm, that makes sense, but you took your ti, you said a year and a half ago you found out about ? And in all that ti, you never once tried to contact ?"
It was strange for Evan, moreover, he didn't even know what criteria the "Demonic Tree" used to select people for its ranks.
"Well, it's not ti yet. You must realize that not everyone is worthy of joining us. Sure, strength and skills are important, but there are many other factors as well. I'm not the one who chooses the decent. But I know that my seniors consider you an up-and-coming candidate."
"So why haven't you still co after if I'm so important?" Evan asked, puzzled.
"It's simple, you're still too weak. You must break through the first "Barrier" on the "One-Pointed Star" stage to join us. That rule applies to everyone, with no exceptions. I was only noticed when I'd broken through my second "Barrier." If you haven't co here yourself, then as soon as you fulfilled the necessary conditions, you would have been found anyway."
"I see, but what do they do with those who refuse? I doubt so many people want to join you, you don't have the best reputation, I'd even say it's the other way around."
"Well, there are two options here. If a potential newcor behaves aggressively, he will be killed, but they simply wipe their mory in other cases. It's not that hard to do to soone much weaker than you", Avice replied calmly.
Evan nodded: "Well, then, what should I do now? To break through my first "Barrier" and wait for you coming?"
"Hmm, not really. You're a unique case, as far as I know, it's only happened a few tis when a candidate figured out the location of the "Demonic Tree" on his own. You're really not allowed to join us now, but you don't have to wait for their coming. When you break through your first "Barrier," you'll co to us yourself. Here it is."
Avice said and threw a small, scarlet stone in Evan's direction.
"When you're ready, put so mana into this stone, and all the information about one of our bases will appear in your mind. Just be careful, you have to get there without a mask, your face is known, and so you won't be killed."
"Okay, to be honest, it was easier than I thought it would be," Evan mumbled, moving the stone into the spatial ring.
"Alright, I should be getting back now. I'll be glad to have you in our ranks."
Avice was about to leave, but suddenly Evan stopped her.
"Wait, I wanted to ask you sothing. Your commander, you called him Ryan, what was that spell he used? And what was the "Seven Princes of Hell?"
Evan was very interested in the spell that the magician in the red mask cast. He had never seen anything like it before, and given the power of this spell, Evan felt it had to do with demons.
"The thing is, as you haven't joined the organization yet, I can't fill you in on the details. I can tell only one thing- to use this spell, you need to learn more about demons. That will be all."
Avice left quickly, she needed to et her comrades and tell them about her sudden encounter.
