We have not even started on which "condiment" the rest of the 5 color blades should be nicknamed. Yet...
This talk made me reread the beginning. I remember when I decide to read this novel or not, the description of the story on NU page made my first image for Rod is he's a merciful and caring god XD
considering how great this author is at using side characters i have no doubt at some point they will list everyone's names as they pray to Van giving him a powerboost in a boss battle against the gods later. I'm still waiting for Van to create a planet sized dungeon and just move his people there.
Why planet sized? Why not just skip straight to infinite pocket realm of happiness and free mayonnaise.
Not sure what the guild master suggested. Given the reactions, beating your pets into submission is probably on the lower end of what he might have offended Van with.
Considering that the suggestion seemed to specifically apply to his female tamed "monsters", I can think of a few possibilities.
I would assume breeding them to produce troops. This would likely involve prostitution, quite possibly drugs and/or magic designed to enhance fertility and breeding speed.
And people who suggest/do things like that to other people should have horrible things happen to them. Terrible, horrible, soul-shattering things
What's more disturbing is that Van is what, 9-12 years old? Can't remember his current age off-hand. And he's always looked smaller/younger than his age. Yet he's already had one guy trying to beat him up for his ghouls, another wanting to put them in 'missionary' work for Vida, and then this guy with whatever he's been on about. The world's kinda messed up for kids, apparently.
Well that's life in a stagnated pseudo middle-ages society run by A**holes who want 'peace' and 'order'.
If you think of Vida races just as animals, then it's quite normal. Effed up, but normal. How do you think we ended up with hundreds of breeds of dogs, horses ... Wow, this thought is deeply disturbing. What would resercher mages do to more monstrous Vida races in the name of science, if they didn't hide themselves
