First Expedition [3]
The Norn Family was openly hiring mercenaries that could pass their tests, so Damien didn't need to do too much digging to find what he needed.
The only real requirement was combat power. Everything else was relative, and things like unity were completely unnecessary. There was already the Norn Family's personal army among the participants, so the mercenaries were being treated more like meat shields than anything else.
Though, Damien didn't care much.
The reason he chose this task out of everything else wasn't that complicated. He wanted to form a connection with the Norn Family, and if possible find himself an audience with the Sapientia Clan.
If he could get that far, finding ways to gain experience wouldn't be difficult and he'd have an umbrella to shield him if the need ever arose.
He didn't doubt that he could've gone straight to the Veritas Clan with Yulia if he just asked, but that wasn't what he wanted.
