But this rule has a premise - it only protects active mercenaries.
If a mercenary retires and leaves this circle, naturally they will no longer be protected by the rules.
Therefore, retirement is a very contradictory thing in the mercenary realm.
Because if you want to climb higher as a mercenary, you have to execute many missions, during which you will offend many people.
The more people you offend, the more you need the rules of the circle to protect you.
The more reliant you are on protection, the less you can leave this circle, and the further you are from so-called retirement.
It's a dead end.
Mercenaries without fame, of course, can retire without much fuss, as nobody cares about the small fry.
But for those great mercenaries who have achieved success, they often have to keep fighting within the circle until the day they die.
