Crocodile Island, as a guest of the Eternal Sect, offered up a significant gift.
The clash of royal and divine powers, striking without shattering.

Intelligentsia can indeed contribute significantly, but the illiterate are countless; those with some specialized training are rare animals, usually forced into school by their elders if conditions are slightly better, yet they are not suited for it, nor is there a paved path for them—better to drop out and head to the adventurer guild for a few bottles; knowledge has been monopolized.

At times like these, the Holy Personnel of the Eternal Sect are needed, ready to help you solve your problems and act as official guardians.
