Rules of the Silent Alliance

After careful consideration, Punk still chose intelligence as his reward. Although he was actually very interested in the "Legendary Equipment" and "one favor" mentioned by the Chairman... when it came to Legendary Equipment, Punk already possessed "Haitzita's magic box," as well as the "Crimson Gemstone" necklace obtained after killing Ovakain. More importantly, Punk himself was a spellcaster quite skilled in alchemy. He could manufacture Legendary Equipment on his own in the future, so there was no need to waste an opportunity to obtain such a valuable reward.

Besides Legendary Equipment, the "one favor" mentioned by the Chairman was also quite tempting. However, Punk had keenly caught the limitation attached to that reward—only when it was within their ability and did not violate their principles!

The phrase "did not violate their principles" greatly reduced the usefulness of this so-called "one favor." Every sign showed that the "Silent Alliance" was clearly an orderly spellcaster organization. Who knew how strict its so-called principles were, or whether they would conflict with the conduct of a mage from the Chaos Faction like Punk.

Therefore, although the "one favor" option might save his life in the future, Punk still gritted his teeth and decided against it after thinking for a while.

It would be better to leave something like saving myself to myself. Relying on other people's help... is far too unreliable!

Hearing the spellcaster before him make his choice so quickly, the Chairman's projection displayed no emotional fluctuation. He merely spoke to Punk slowly
