(From MC Perspective)
Hansen Campus- Red Stone City,
Elder Thornton fell into contemplation. Why would Zack want to replace it with body enhancing treasure? He had no clue about it, he had made up his mind to not ask him any questions about it.
Then looking at Zack he said, "I will contact you. Once I finished collecting the treasures."
"Thank you so much Elder." I said with a smile. I thought there was going to be some negotiation. But surprisingly he agrees with me directly. My worries eased a little bit.
Then I can focus on increasing my strength.
Time progresses,
We talked about a few other things before ending our meeting.
After walking out of the meeting room, I headed straight towards my home.
...
Crimson Hall,
The First Elder is sitting behind his desk leisurely. Because after long research, he succeeded in finding a suitable Monster Zone for their Crimson Hall Event.
He has completed only the first step. Next he needs to acquire necessary permission for the event. So he decided to visit some officials in person.
Coincidentally, the targeted monster zone and officials office were in the same area. He doesn't need to make two separate visits to verify his plans.
Since, Grand Elder had already given him full control of the event. First Elder wants to tell after sorting out all things. Thinking about the murderous monsters in that monster zone, First Elder grinned wildly.
He can imagine the entire monster zone is washed away with blood.
The Following day,
The First Elder made a long journey to visit the Odyssey Restricted Zone also known as Odyssey Monster Zone.
Since it's a restricted area other than officials, no civilians are allowed to enter. This place is barely known to public.
So the First Elder guesses boldly that no Factions will be able to find out about the monster zone. For this journey, he made it secretly. He didn't even tell the useless Head Master of the Crimson Hall about it.
Time Progresses,
Two days later,
First Elder reaches the restricted area via special train.
As he walks out of the train station, he plans to visit the official's office right away. Along the way, various thoughts about the monster zones come to mind.
He made up his mind to fix the deal at any cost.
Odyssey Restricted Zone, If placed in the sea it will look like a large circular island. One of the particular reason, First Elder chose this monster zone is because it's an unranked zone.
Normally, In Level-4 Monster Zones it's normal to find Class 4 Monsters. First Elder Casey actually desired Level Monster Zones in his heart.
But once he reveals it, he knows he will face unilateral opposition. Even the Grand Elder warned him about it. Yet for him it's impossible to hide his blood thirsty thoughts.
So he chose this zone which is as much as deadly as level- 4 Monster Zones.
Odyssey Monster Zone is filled with carnivorous forest. Even some random plant can cause death to the warriors. There are numerous Class 3 Monster Trees in it.
Meat eating plants, Poisonous Plants and hallucination plants were just part of the Odyssey Monster Zone.
Apart from the plant kingdom, there were dangerous Class 3 Blood devouring rats. As the name suggests, these monsters evolve by consuming monster bloods.
Any monster infected by it will lose its strength due to poison. Then next the monster gets ripped apart by the swarm of blood devouring rats.
The First Elder knows these few monsters will be enough to wipe out half of the participants. Then there are other deadly monsters waiting for them, If warriors escape from the first few monsters successfully.
A couple of minutes later,
First Elder Casey walks in front of a four storey white building. From a distance it looks like some kind of medieval castle.
The First Elder stepped inside and walked upstairs to reach the 4th floor. Where his appointment is fixed with the important official.
In a few breaths, First Elder reaches the 4th floor. He walks towards the last room on the floor.
As he reaches the room he sees the male staff is looking at him. "He must be an assistant," First Elder Casey thought to himself. Because there is another steel cabin inside the room.
After confirming it, he talked about the meeting with the official. Next second, the male staff informs his superior. Then after getting his permission from him, the male staff allows First Elder to enter.
"Creak" the door opens.
First Elder stepped inside with a smile.
"Hey, Casey. How are you?" Official Ben walks towards him and gives him a warm hug.
First Elder smiled and greeted him back, "Official Ben, I'm fine. But looking at you. I feel like you finally got used to the atmosphere here."
"Ha...ha...ha..." Official Ben let out a hearty laughter by seeing his close friend.
Then both of them sit in their respective seats.
Official Ben smiled and asked, "So why do you want to meet me all of a sudden? I know there must be some reason behind it."
Official Ben is a Water element Warrior. His cultivation base is at Initial Elite. The Odyssey Monster Zone is located in a tricky area. It's very close to Tier-7 cities.
So most of the officials here were Elites, even though there are no Class 4 Monsters in the Monster Zones. They are safeguarding the Tier-7 cities from monster breaks outs.
Official Ben appears to be a middle aged person, but actually he is very old. Due to Elite level essence he can keep his young appearance so far. Both of them were belong to same generation. Yet First Elder failed to reach his level in strength.
First Elder expression turned solemn and said, "I think you know about our Crimson Hall Event."
Official Ben nodded his head. His home is at Tier-7 City he obviously knows about it.
Official Ben replied, "I heard this time academies were going to be very picky. So, What are you guys planning to do?"
First Elder answered, "I came here to meet you exactly for this reason."
His words immediately stunned Official Ben. For a moment, he lost his cool.
Official Ben asked back in stern tone, "What do you mean by this Casey?"
The atmosphere turned a little bit chill as Official Ben is unknowingly leaking out his elite aura.
