Chapter 513: Base
513 Base
The next day, Alex came out of his room with Anna, whose face looked s.h.i.+ny. No one needed any explanation for that and just looked at Alex, waiting for his order.
"There are a few things I want to say first. First of all, I am thankful for you guys to help me this whole time and without all of you, I don"t know what my fate would be. The second thing is I am still unsure whether to destroy the entire Joyful Union Sect.
"It"s not like I am sparring them. From the information, they are a kind of brothel, right? They help people relieve their stress. I don"t say they are good, but if we destroy their influence, I am afraid we will be targeted by many. Although I am not scared of them, I can"t be sure if they would just target me or even target Rose.
"That"s why, after destroying the seven branches, we will retreat and wait for a while. Since we have Ngina on Rose"s side, they can at least run away for a while. In the meantime, we will completely destroy their sect.
"Of course, if they don"t fight us again, then I will ask the N Squad to check upon them. As long as I have become a Martial Monarch, they should not dare to fight us again anyway." Alex explained the thought he had after learning their information last night.
Anya pondered for a moment before saying, "It"s okay. As long as we have one dedicated spy to keep an eye on them, it will be fine. Though I personally want to end it as soon as possible, yeah, I know if the entire world turns their eyes to us, it will be a bit of trouble for us. Even if we have a Martial Monarch, as long as they have a thousand or so Martial Emperors, it will be hard to wipe them out."
"Yeah. It"s only a matter of time." Alex nodded.
"We would obey your order." The spirits bowed, not finding a problem with Alex"s plan.
"Alright. It"s time for us to go to our new base." Alex smiled, looking at Anna to lead them.
Anna then stepped forward and said, "Follow me."
They came out from the base and destroyed every evidence in this place, making sure no one would know something from this place.
Anna then led them east and it took them a half-day before arriving at a forest near the sea. This place had been cleaned up by Leoz and the others in the past few months, not leaving a single monster alive.
He looked around, trying to see if there was another person or not in the area. After checking, he ordered, "I am going to make a Special Realm with one kilometers radius. Leoz, Jeanne, Anna, Artur, and Greg will set the perimeter.
"Fabio and Vera will check our surroundings to make sure no one or monster is around. Jean will help Anya to supervise them. Stina, Kyle, and Sherry will stand by at the moment."
Before the others replied, Greg called him, "Young Master."
"What is it, Greg? Is there any problem?"
"I don"t have any problem with the plan. However, my element is tingling. There should be a Spirit Stones Mine in this area, but I can"t pinpoint it. I have felt this long ago, but I believe Young Master"s Spirit Eye can find them. We can use it as our source to establish the Special Realm," he said.
"Spirit Stones Mine?" Alex activated his Spirit Eyes, looking at the ground. He was surprised to see the ground didn"t really have rich energy, but considering what Greg said, he tried to look around.
"This place only has a 2-Star Martial Emperor as the strongest," Anna added.
Alex pondered for a moment and flew to the air while searching for the Spirit Stones Mine. After searching for an hour, he finally found it. It was a bit deep underground and it would seem the ground was a bit special around this area. Because of that, the mine"s energy did not reach the surface, making this place unnoticeable to all influences.
"The mine itself is situated three kilometers from our original position… Should we use this as our center or can we make a hole to channel the energy." Alex pondered for a moment, recalling the map they had. After a while, he decided. "We will use this place as our base. But the problem is how to connect this place with that mine so I can make a Gathering Array to supply this array…"
"As long as I know its position, I should be able to build a small hole to that hole. After that, Young Master can trap the Spiritual Energy and use the Gathering Array to gather the energy." Greg said.
"Alright. Greg will stay here while Stina and Kyle are going to replace him. Kyle, since you are the senior with how we work, it"s time for you to s.h.i.+ne." Alex smiled.
Kyle blinked as a star appeared in the center of his eyes. "Leave it to me, Master! I will surely meet your expectation."
"Sherry will follow me and protect me when I make the array. As for the others, move out!" Alex ordered.
"Understood." All of them then disappeared at the same time, moving toward their positions.
Alex then took out the Rank 6 monster blood he bought in the previous world. He bought many blood bottles at that time as to make sure he had enough supply to make this Special Realm.
To make a giant Array like this, Alex needed more than fifty biggest bottles, costing him fifty million Spirit Stones right off the bat. This was the same size as his master"s Special Realm, while Zwaka"s place was twice as big.
This was certainly a big sum even for a normal rank 6 Array Master. If he did not have his spirits and the medicinal ingredients from the previous world, he might need to think twice before making something this big.
Luckily, he did not need to maintain the entire array with his Spirit Stones as he could just use the Spirit Stones Mine.
He channeled his energy, directing all the blood to come out of the bottle. The blood started taking shape into many symbols where Alex skillfully controlled it and planted the symbols on the ground.
On his side, Sherry was watching him, wondering if she could learn this too. Ultimately, she shook her head as she might give up before she learned it.
Since he had s.p.a.ce to work with, he really wanted to turn this special base as a fortress. He might even build a special realm inside a special realm. It could become a prison, trap, or whatever he wanted.
He then started making the symbols around Anna and the others, setting up the extent of his barrier.
10,000...
20,000...
30,000...
The array building took him around a half-day as he needed to build seventy thousand symbols. And unlike his normal array, the planted one needed more concentration as there were still trees, gra.s.s and such, hindering him from planting the symbols. This was why Alex needed such a long time despite only needing a few seconds to use an original Array.
After setting up the Special Realm, he began to add Illusion Array to camouflage the area and made the barrier transparent.
The third thing he needed to make was a key to this place. At the moment, he only created thirty keys. Although the Spirits could get the key from the Inventory, it was still good for them to carry one around.
Sherry, Kyle, and Stina also got the keys. It would seem that they could access the Inventory even though they were not his spirits. With that, he already gave fourteen keys. He gave the others the N Squad the keys too.
In total, he had given 22 keys for his spirits, contracted beasts, and himself. There were eight more keys in which Alex would give one of them to Rose later. As for Evelyn, Song Yu, and Putri, he had yet to decide whether it was alright for them to know about his s.p.a.ce Element. He kept the keys for the time being.
After the keys, Alex created a few smaller Special Arrays. The first one would be Jeanne"s Torture Chamber, which could be used as an interrogation place. The second one was Alex"s Alchemist room. Inside was his Simulation Room, Refining Place and so on.
There were three rooms for training if someone wanted to use it to have a spar with each other. Looking at Sherry and Kyle, these rooms were necessary. The other one would be cultivating s.p.a.ce. Alex made five Gathering Arrays, so anyone could enter this room if they wanted to cultivate.
The next and most important thing was their core base for the meeting room and bedrooms. Alex hoped there was a mansion in this place and Anya said he just needed to ask his Common and Uncommon Spirits to make a big mansion for him.
He nodded, planning to ask them after the Special Realm construction was finished. Other than the mansion, they also needed to build training s.p.a.ce and such for other smaller special realms.
Last but not least, he built a special realm for the power room where he built a Gathering Array that would power up this entire base.
He did not know why, but this place felt like his inheritance palace. With the mansion as the core, he thought about calling this Alex"s Mansion… Maybe something more mysterious, so even when they left, Rose could use this place as her base or shelter.
The construction of this base took two days. Anna and the others sometimes found people coming around this place, and luckily, they did not need to kill or anything as they were only a pa.s.serby.
After he finished, he summoned fifty Spirits and asked them to construct everything he wanted. Although the spirits were not construction workers, they should be able to make a good mansion with Anya"s supervision.
"Anya, I will leave it to you."
"Yes. Leave it to me. We should finish in a week or so." She smirked. "For the time being, you can train or whatever."
"Yes." Alex nodded before looking at Greg. "How many Spirit Stones inside?"
"It"s around one million Spirit Gems," He said.
"!!!" Alex noticed that the mine was not that big, but knowing it was filled with Spirit Gems, he was delighted. "That"s quite a big one."
"Yes. It"s a Pure and no Spiritual Energy escape, so all of them mutate to Spirit Gems." Greg nodded.
With that reserve, this barrier should last long and bred to even more mine in the future, creating a sustainable Special Realm. He was satisfied with the result as he did not have any plan in extracting those Spirit Stones for two reasons. It was deep and would take too much time. He would rather refine pills than mining.
He then ordered everyone. "Everyone can also start doing your own task. If you want to kill monsters, then go. I will use the EXP cards a bit later. And We are going to attack the seven ranches in two or three months, so make sure you remember that."
"Understood." Everyone except Anna, Anya, and Alex left. Of course, the contracted beasts also stayed, increasing their strength in the Gathering Array.
Alex then looked around and activated the entire realm by channeling his energy. The dim light shot out to the sky and made a giant barrier, concealing everything inside.
From the outside, they would not see anything as Alex made the illusion as similar as possible. If they had the token, they could activate the token to give a general direction of the array, which would lead them to the Special Realm itself.
The latest thing he needed to do was to test everything from the token, illusion, to his Simulation Room, making sure everything was working.
After that, he quarantined himself to use his Gacha and EXP cards.
