Talin's words made Rode ponder for a long time.

Although the royal city allocates resources to potential geniuses and deliberately cultivates emerging stars, Thalorian's resource distribution is not entirely mandatory; it is more based on position, status, and battle merits.

The royal city places great importance on a fair environment and a good atmosphere, even surpassing cold tactical considerations to some extent.

What surprised Rode the most was that the royal city did not emphasize sacrifice and dedication excessively. Instead, it repeatedly mentioned preserving combat power when necessary and avoiding unnecessary sacrifices.
