, the recommended individual would be exposed to both members, making it possible to deduce the identity of the member through their connections.
That was unadvisable considering the nature of the Assembly.

Both Roel and Charlotte frowned as they pondered over this issue.
Seeing this, Isabella chuckled out loud.

“I know the doubts you have in mind, but you are misunderstanding something here.
In fact, we never recommend people we know.”

“You don’t? Then how do you ascertain the character and ability of the newly joined members?”

“It’s quite simple actually.
We simply take plenty of time to assess them in an appropriate environment.”

Looking at the surprised duo, Isabella pondered for a short moment before deciding to reveal the answer.
Considering Roel and Charlotte’s incredible talents, they should be more than worthy to join the Assembly.
Not to mention, she was going to marry Winstor in the near future too.

“There’s an academy in the Country of Scholars, Brolne.
The Assembly chooses its talents from there.”

Isabella revealed the truth outright to them.

“At the start of every academic year, the Assembly would send blessed tokens, disguised as ordinary protective magic tools, to a selected group of students.
The members of the Assembly would recognize these blessed objects and observe the actions of these students before making an evaluation and selecting who to recommend.

“The members of the Assembly who wield the power to recommend changes every year, and the recommended individuals aren’t immediately brought into the Assembly either.
Rather, the Assembly would send a messenger over to speak to the recommended individual during a period when the individual is most likely to join the organization.
It could be a year after leaving the academy, and it could also be decades later.
These measures significantly reduce the likelihood of the identities of the members being exposed to one another.

“I see.”

Hearing Isabella’s explanation, both Roel and Charlotte nodded in realization.
The measures put in place by the Assembly was quite reasonable, and they, to a large degree, reduced conflicts of interest amongst the members.

At the same time, Roel found himself utterly speechless at the revelation too.

In the end, it’s still the academy!

However, on further thought, it did make sense.
After all, a famous academy would boast the greatest gathering of the world’s talents, so it was only reasonable for headhunters to search for new members there.

But at the same time, Roel also realized that knowing how the selection was done didn’t really make much of a difference.
After all…

Wait a moment!

A question suddenly surfaced in Roel’s mind.

Based on the evidence gathered thus far, there was indeed a high possibility that the Twilight Sages Assembly had been disbanded for whatever reason, but there was a chance that its members might still be around.
After all, it was an organization filled with high-level transcendents from all over the world, and high-level transcendents tended to have long lifespans.

In other words…

If he could somehow obtain one of those blessed tokens, he still might be able to get the attention of one of the Sages, and through that, learn more about the Assembly!

【Countdown to the end of the Witness State: 44 seconds】

With such thoughts in mind, Roel glanced at the limited time he had left before desperately grabbing Isabella’s sleeves to continue his questions.

“Big sister Isabella, we’re going to head back soon, and I’ll definitely have to rest for a long time afterward.
I won’t be able to obtain the Assembly’s blessed token even if they did send me one.
Can you tell me where I could claim one?”

Isabella was surprised by Roel’s words for a moment before realization struck her.
Roel and Charlotte had been teleported here by a member of the Assembly, and now that the danger was over, it seemed only natural for them to be teleported back.

“Since that’s the case, you should look for the Drunkard Treant in Karon Forest.
Remember to use the Ancient Austine’s Conti Wine, or else he probably won’t show himself…”

“Ah? Drunkard Treant? What is…”

【Countdown ended.
Commencing return.】

Before Roel could finish his question, darkness had already descended on him.
Right before the eyes of the smiling Isabella, the two of them vanished without a trace.
