Can't Catch A Break
Alex and Venedikt talked for a long time about each possible scenario and their approach to it, deciding that they would keep growing their strength as before but with some additions.
They understood that it would be easy for Magnus to find their members even if they made them not affiliate with any guild that was linked to the organization or the Shiekh.
Because even if they found a third party, kept it hidden, and funded the players through them, it would only work until one of the players flipped on them. Then, they would be back where they began, if not in a worse situation, since now Magnus would know that they were trying very hard to hide from him.
They did add a few things, including that each player who had access to the training chambers would spend two and a half hours training every day, including the players who had entered the ancestral realm.
