Evan and Zak were drinking great ale and talking about the upcoming tournant, and also about the Whitehead Family.
Even if the Whitehead Family were to do sothing at the tournant, Evan would be protected by the strongest n in all of Mossy Vulture. Evan was a little relieved to hear that. He was confident in himself and his strength, but he was well aware of one thing - if a man comparable in strength to Zak or Koen wanted to kill him, there would be no way he could survive.
"Commander, do you know how strong is the young talent from the Whitehead Family? I'd like to see a decent level."
Evan would be interested in fighting the offspring of the Whitehead Family. Abigail was arrogant, but rather stupid and weak. Evan had been able to kill her, despite his horrible physical and emotional condition.
Of course, he`d used the power of the 72nd demon, Count Andromalius, to defeat her, otherwise he would have died in that prison. But, for that kind of power, he`d expended a lot of life energy.
Evan considered Abigail as a weak magician, but given her age, that wasn't surprising. Especially, since there was no way she could have expected Evan to be capable of harnessing the power of demons. He caught her off guard and was able to attack just in ti.
Zak took a sip and calmly said: "I think the offspring of the Whitehead Family will be a problematic, but not a strong opponent. According to Marcel, they have talented young n, but they are far from geniuses. Nevertheless, I think their young man will be able to get a decent place."
"Why? Won't only the most talented and strongest young people participate in the tournant?" Evan didn't understand how a weak participant could get very far in the tournant.
Zak quickly replied, "They aren't capable of making it to the quarterfinals or semifinals by themselves, but the Whitehead Family is known for its untold riches. I'm sure they'll dress their contestant in high-end artifacts and provide a quality "Catalyst". It's not against the rules, so there's nothing we can do about it."
Evan wanted to ask sothing, but Zak beat him to it, "Besides their riches, the Whitehead Family is also known for their terrible reputation. They are not liked by commoners, nobles, or magicians. The only ones who deal with them are scum and greedy bastards like them."
Roughly said Zak draining his glass and imdiately ordering another.
"Commander Zak, is it okay to allow a fight with a lot of artifacts against soone who doesn't have any?"
Evan didn't understand why it was so.
He was sure that Koen and Fane knew very well that there were people who would succeed not thanks for their own power, but external one.
Nevertheless, there was logic in the actions of the two heads of the big Families.
"On the one hand, you're right, but it doesn't really matter whether it's external power or your own. If you et on the battlefield, you won`t tell the other man to fight fair, are you? This is the sa logic Koen and Fane used when they wrote the rules. They want the tournant fights to be as close to the real one as possible, that's why it's allowed."
Zak explained everything in detail.
Evan nodded, and thought to himself,
