Chapter 321: Gathering the band (1/2)
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.
