Odyssey Restricted Area,
The atmosphere between official Ben and First Elder Casey stilled for a moment. Official Ben looked at his friend with a piercing gaze. He knows all about First Elder Casey. Right now by hearing his words, he feels his friend is going to calculate him.
The other hand, the First Elder sneered inside, "Neither of us were good fellows. Why is this guy reacting like that." He too didn't back away from looking at his eyes.
Both of them have good reason to be on guard.
Time passes,
A few seconds later,
The First Elder decides to break the ice. Since he is the one approaching his friend for favor. Right now other than his grand plan for the event nothing comes to mind.
So the First Elder decided to put aside his ego at this moment.
"Official Ben, First hear my words. Then you are free to make a decision." The First Elder said with an expressionless face without minding the oppressing elite aura on him.
Official Ben took a little bit back. "This guy is usually arrogant. What happened now?" He thought to himself.
But upon seeing his serious expression, he decided to hear him. So in response he slowly nodded his head.
The First Elder revealed a smile in his heart and said, "Academies have great expectations for our region warrior's. So in order to screen talented warriors across thousands. We decided to conduct the event in this monster zone."
Official Ben's expression becomes serious. He knows the dangers of these monster zones, so he asked, "Casey, Are you even serious?"
Then he added, "Are you really planning to send them on a dead road?"
The First Elder was surprised by his friend. His friend can literally see through his thoughts. Next second, he couldn't control himself and laughed out loud, "Ha....Ha....Ha..."
"Crazy," Official Ben muttered.
Next second, the First Elder controlled himself and answered, " What? Do you think I'm Crazy?"
"Harrumph"
He snorted back and said, "These academic people in normal days won't give sh!t about us. Each and every time, they find some fault in us. Especially this time. It's going to be much worse."
After saying that, the First Elder looked at Official Ben for a reply.
First Elder's words brought some sense to Official Ben. It's not that he is not going to allow them to conduct events.
Official Ben worries there might be some calculation against him. But now after realizing that it's about the Warrior's recruitment his worries ease down a little bit.
When comes to matter of Odyssey Monster Zone, obviously he believes there is going to be numerous causalities. So he decided to add on few clauses to safeguard himself. Before sending to his higher ups for final approval.
After gaining some clarity, Official Ben asked, "So when is the event day?"
It's not easy to arrange papers and get approval. There will be numerous scrutiny. So obviously it will take some time to confirm on his side. Then there will be some time to arrange things for the event.
The First Elder smiled and said, "We decided to conduct within 4 Months."
Outside Crimson Hall, many factions were guessing that it might take 6 months to 1 year. But no one would imagine that it's going to be held sooner.
Even Grand Elder Chris doesn't know about this. This is all within the calculation of First Elder Casey. He had already made so many blunders in his previous decision.
This time he wants no mistake in his plan.
Official Ben nodded his head and replied, "It will take a few days to arrange papers. I'll contact you once it's done."
First Elder finally let go of his worry. It's not difficult to get permission. But still his friend has the power to delay this matter. Fortunately, he didn't make things difficult.
So he reveals a small smile.
His first plan is worked out. Next he has to wait for them.
"Thanks for your Cooperation, Official Ben. Then I'll be leaving now. " First Elder said with satisfaction.
Official Ben was surprised and answered, "Why are you leaving now?If possible I can give you a small tour of our Monster Zone."
Now everything is settled. There is no hostility between them.
First Elder thought about it, he had a good opportunity to see the Monster Zones. Later he can modify some rules based on terrains.
Next second he smiled and agreed.
Official Ben laughed, then he brought the First Elder along with him to the Monster Zone.
Instead of walking, Official Ben flew in the air. He supported the First Elder with his power.
His sudden action caught the First Elder off guard.
First Elder really pissed off by his actions. Yet even if he feels wronged he can do nothing against Elite Warrior. So he gritted his teeth in anger and tried not to explode his anger.
Otherwise this will give him reason to delay things for him.
It's still morning, but the environment around this restricted area looks a little gloomy and dark.
Soon, Official Ben flew around the area and reached the entrance within a few minutes.
Finally, the First Elder relaxes. He can't spend time with this guy. It's really infuriating for him. Right now, they came in front of a huge metallic gate.
This gives him time to avoid conversation with official Ben.
Both of them land on the ground, Official Ben gone to register the First Elder's name. It's a compulsory rule. Even for Elite Warriors, they need to abide by the rules.
The First Elder waited for him, in the meantime he looked around the area.
There are few little buildings in this restricted area. In order to accommodate more than thousands warriors, it's not going to be easy. Various thoughts come to his mind.
He only needs to worry about the starting few hours of the event, not the end. Because in the end, he knows very few can survive.
Then he also needs to allocate land for medical treatment. Otherwise it will not end well among the public. All of them are going to watch the live event.
So no one should see through his plan. Even the academies won't raise questions against him. Because at the end of the day they asked for themselves.
Academies asked for better events, so even if there is any trouble they can face it.
