MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master-Novel

Chapter 321 - Gathering The Band

After a long time it was time to go questing again , the objective of the quest being to procure key materials needed to make the teleportation array. Namely

1)?Bohemian Crystal : 20 pcs ( large)

2) Arcanian Crystal : 100 pcs ( medium )

3) Ceramic Glaze Crystal : 20 pcs ( small )

4) High quality mana stone : 20,000 pcs

5) 10 tonnes of silver : roughly 10 million silver coins

6) One piece of Rhodium crystal ( Humongous )

If one tried to buy these items off the market directly , just one high quality mana stone costed around 1500 gold coins , hence the 20,000 mana stones itself would bankrupt a treasury. Not calculating the price of other rarer crystals , especially the humongous rhodium.

The teleportation array was a complex formation , where different crystals with different nature was needed to be placed at different conjectures of the array. The heart of the array being the massive Rhodium crystal , where a group of 100 could stand at a time to be teleported.

It was the standard size and the load that could be carried out by the teleportation array Rudra planned on building , a larger array that teleported 1000 people was possible to be made , however Rudra did not want to entertain such designs due to two main reasons.

1) the cost : which would be a hundered times more than the one he was building

2) security reason : Rudra needed to make a thorough checkpost around the teleportation array , he could not let unsettling characters into his city.

Hence Rudra wanted to only let 100 people immigrate at a time , to inspect them all , and deny them access to his city if they were coming with malicious intentions.

Rudra was not worried about the mana stones , he had the cheat called the chalice of purity , he would just refine cheap basic mana stones into purest advanced mana stones. However the rest of the crystals needed to be procured and it would be a massive expedition to say the least.

While the other crystals could be stored inside the system inventory , Rhodium was a crystal with special spacial properties. Hence why it's use in teleportation arrays, however it could not be stored inside system space as it did not obey the spacial laws .

The size that Rudra needed to make his teleportation array was about that of a house. The first challenge being finding such a large crystal , and the second challenge being the bringing of the massive crystal back to Purplehaze city.

All the crystals mentioned in the list were only available in a level 80 map called the valley of crystals , and it was a two day journey on foot to reach , with the wolves it was about 18 hours . However the problem was in the return trip back home , as the safe transport of such a large crystal was a very dangerous ordeal .

The excavation of Rhodium was also a very difficult process , because there was a special kind of explosive worm , that usually nested around Rhodium deposits. They were nocturnal in nature and would explode upon coming in contact with sunlight.

Ontop of all this , Rudra was not really 100% sure about taking his team into the heart of a level 80 map , because the average guild levels were only around 65 . However the making of the teleportation array was an urgent necessity for the future plans Rudra had in mind. Many new kingdoms would open up , and trade would flourish. Hence he needed to carefully plan this next expedition.

Rudra needed people with the miner subclass , also people with knowledge about crystals , within his current guild member base there was only a single miner called ' PickthatAxe ' , however Rudra needed atleast 10 more miners , hence he had to outsource that labour , from the miners union , where he borrowed 10 NPC miners and one crystals expert at 5 gold an hour rate.

Rudra finally decided to bring along Karna , Neatwit , Yume , SMG , Naomi , PinkLotus , Skyla , Medivh , PoisonToadGamakichi, Tank ,Rhino and Fattykalash for the expedition.

Rudra wanted to bring along Sir Jhonny English , however he was currently on a secret mission for Ethan Grey , hence unavailable in the game.

Along with all these guild members , Rudra took a small contingent of 500 soldiers from the Purplehaze city forces with him. The reason being that he needed reliable workforce to ensure the safety of the crystals in their journey back home.

Finally Rudra purchased 500 NPC slaves which would slog the weight of the crystals back to Purplehaze city.

Kalash had prepared a wooden log platform which could be loaded with the large Rhodium for transportation. Hence the initial preparations had been completed for the expedition.

The large envoy of mixed people started their journey , Rudra , the Elites and the miners rode on their mounts ahead , whereas the soldiers on horses were tasked on bringing the slaves on foot to the location within 1 and a half day time.

On the entire journey , Rudra kept playing with little Furball , as be had placed it infront of him on his mounts back. Rudra had grown extremely fond of Furball , as he spent increasingly more and more time with the little beast.

Rudra even fed it with the most exotic treats and foods , expenses that he would never make for himself and Furball also responded in kind , showering Rudra with cuddles.

Naomi and Yua were instantly in love with the cute pet , but Furball just won't let anyone except Rudra touch it. Biting whoever else tried to , within half a day of the journey it became clear to Yua and Naomi that the little one had outranked them both in getting Rudra's attention , as Furball clearly marked Rudra as her property.

The little fox was very clever , it's innocent side was only shown to Rudra , otherwise it was overly possesive of its human , stealing his attention back to herself when he talked with any other female. However not caring at all when he talked to Karna or Neatwit.

The two girls knew at that moment , that they had a new furry competitor !
