"Your Forest Sages' Association is so eager to recruit new blood... Could it be that you're facing some troublesome enemy?"
Chen Yu's voice was still soft and mellow, but the content of his words made Oldes's heart skip a beat.
Chen Yu continued, "I'm sorry, but the Slime Kingdom already has enough trouble to deal with at the moment. Under these circumstances, rashly joining an ancient organization that could mean more responsibilities and more potential enemies... doesn't seem beneficial for the Kingdom. On the contrary, it might bring unnecessary risks."
Oldes was dumbfounded.
It was the first time he had ever heard such a "realistic" and "utilitarian" reason for refusal. This completely contradicted his perception of a "Sage."
'Shouldn't a Sage possess great love, selflessly dedicate themselves to protecting nature, and not worry about personal or small-group gains and losses?'
'Where did this Slime learn so many convoluted human ways of thinking?'
