Chapter 260: Above Rank-10? (1/2)

Although Haley didn't ask this time, Irvin spoke up, ”But young master... what will this elite team even do to require so many resources?”

His question was purely out of curiosity as he wasn't able to hold himself back any longer.

”They will be exploring everything on this continent, so I want them to be as strong as they could get,” Ozul answered which surprised the husband and wife who never in their wildest dreams thought that an elite team was created for exploration even when they were an organization based on information collection.

”But what will they be exploring the continent for?” Irvin asked again.

There was only a vague answer from Ozul, ”Whatever I ask them to explore for.”

He would rather just directly inform that future elite team. He didn't have the time nor the mood to explain anything to Irvin and Haley.

”You can go now,” Ozul waved off Haley who bowed her head before swiftly leaving the room.

Irvin stayed back as he noticed that Ozul had only given Haley the permission to leave and not him.

”Start the preparations for moving this headquarters now, Irvin,” Ozul spoke after a moment of a dreadful silence for Irvin.

After hearing everything from Kure, anyone could happen in the Neutral Lands, so he wanted to move as fast as possible now. Just that he didn't know how long it would take.

”How long will it take, Irvin?” Ozul asked because he remembered that it had previously taken a couple of months before finishing this headquarters.

Irvin bowed his head a little in respect and answered, ”We already have all the basic resources required to move locations, young master. Now I only need to visit the Ashin family to get the artifact.”

”Artifact to move locations?” Ozul muttered with a questioning face.

Irvin realized that he hadn't told his young master about this artifact before so he was quick to give a brief explanation, ”Young master, it will take us a couple of months to create this same structure with all the formations set up inside and outside in a completely new location.”

He continued after a pause, ”That's why the most prominent factions use these artifacts to transport the already set up formations to a new location without disturbing it!”

'Hm? That is useful...' Ozul thought inside his mind.

If that was the case, then it would only require them a few days before they could move the whole headquarters to a completely new location.

And if there was really such an artifact, then he didn't need to bother about moving the headquarters.

Instead, now he wanted the headquarters to remain in the Neutral Lands for as long as there were people here.

Not everyone could simply migrate to some other location on a whim. Most people didn't have the resources to move places so suddenly, so he expected that people would take a couple of years to completely move out of these Lands.

Until then, it was best to keep the headquarters running here.

”Is the artifact costly?” Ozul asked as he wanted the Three-Eyed Strangers to have one for themselves for emergency situations.

Irvin helplessly nodded his head and answered, ”We will need to have it made specifically for us, and that would require time since we now have enough connections and more than enough funds.”

Ozul told him not to proceed with moving the headquarters and instead told him to contact the Ashin family to have their experts build one such artifact for them.

This artifact couldn't just teleport things from one place to another. Things were much more complicated than that.

In fact, they would have to physically carry the formations as a whole from this place to where they wanted to move the headquarters. What made this artifact useful was that it preserved those formations which would have instantly broken apart otherwise.

Creating a tower like this wouldn't take so much time as they would need to organize all the formations from the scratch.

After giving Irvin a few more instructions, Ozul also gestured him to leave. Although he had planned just a nap previously, he wanted to sleep more now.

Even after closing his eyes, he couldn't help but think about the ruins marked on the old parchment inside his Spatial pouch.

He mentally told himself that he would visit it before the five years of time given by Old Gu. He had a feeling that he might find something interesting there.

'I also have to start their training,' Ozul sighed before he shook these thoughts of his mind.
