It turned out that the Mech Trade Association was a lot more meaningful to humanity than Ves thought.
He previously thought it was a cabal of former cultist rebels who successfully overthrew the Five Scrolls Compact and became the new overlords of human civilization!
Once they gained a taste of power, they eagerly took advantage of being on the right side of history and transformed the MTA into a perpetual blood-sucking octopus that continually harvested other people's wealth!
Though Ves did not invalidate this negative perception of the MTA all of a sudden, the latest revelations put the powerful organizations in a much more favorable context.
Of course, he was well aware that he was getting a one-sided retelling of history.
If he filled up a number of gaps with the secret history centered around the Five Scrolls Compact, he gained a better understanding of the true purpose of the Kingdom of Mechs.
