The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God
Chapter 66 Setting Array Formation
After Maximus decided to set up the artificial array, he first looked up the jade slip for the materials needed for the artificial array.
He let his spiritual consciousness in the jade slip of the architectural blueprint that was generated yesterday.
[Materials needed:
Small Magic Crystal Vein
Aethercore Nexus
Void Stone Dust
Spectral Sentinel Proobe
Blue Spirit Grass Seed
...]
Looking at the list, the first item was the small magic crystal vein.
The magic crystal vein is the core of the mine that gathers and condensed magic crystals.
He thought that the magic crystal mine would be abandoned, but it seemed useful for the formation array.
Magic crystal veins were not listed for sale in the system mall since they were naturally formed by the world with its original laws.
However, extracting the magic crystal vein from the mine was difficult as it naturally formed to gather and crystallize mana through the laws of the world.
Moving it would disrupt the magic crystal vein and assimilate it into the world stopping the production of magic crystals.
Only those proficient in manipulating laws, like Tier 9 mages or knights, could do it.
Moreover, they could also create an artificial magic crystal mine.
This is also why tier 9 beings theoretically have infinite money, as with the help of mana and the laws they have mastered, they can create anything.
Now the problem was that Maximus didn't have a tier 9 being to help him move the mine, so he could only look for help from the system.
After browsing for a while, he came up with a solution.
[Mana Vein Extractor: Can perfectly extract any size and quality of mana vein without damaging it. Price: 10 million top-grade magic crystals.]
That was worth over 10 quadrillion GP, which was insane.
The price although expensive was reasonable since anything that touched the law was worth millions of top-grade magic crystals.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf low to high-grade magic crystals were the crystallization of mana, then top-grade magic crystals were the crystallization of law.
Moreover, only a Source World Magic Crystal Mine could gather enough law for it to crystallize into top-grade magic crystals.
So, even though Tier 9 beings could create artificial veins to crystallize mana they were only theoretically rich.
As top magic crystal was the only currency they accepted when trading for tier 9 items.
However, although items that touched the law were expensive, knowledge about it was much cheaper, costing only a hundred to a thousand top-grade crystals.
But still, the price of the mana vein extractor was insane, and he couldn't afford it.
Luckily, similar to Methamorp Architecture, he could just pay for each use without buying it as a whole.
Still, the price for moving and extracting each small magic crystal vein cost 1 billion GP, which was equal to 1 top-grade magic crystal.
And according to the architectural blueprint, the more magic crystal veins there were, the more mana it would gather, with a maximum of a hundred magic crystal veins needed to reach a peak tier 3 mana environment.
There were a total of 83 magic crystal veins in the whole Sunburnt Plateau alone.
So, moving 83 magic crystal veins would cost 83 billion GP.
...
As for the second material, it was the Aethercore Nexus, the main processor or the brain of the formation array.
It was quite cheap, costing only 100 million GP for one tier 3 Aethercore Nexus.
However, what he needed was one Mother Core Aethercore Nexus, which cost 10 billion GP, and a hundred Aethercore Nexus units.
This totaled 20 billion GP.
...
The third material was void stone dust, which would integrate into the void, forming the connection to the array of materials.
He needed a total of 1000 tons of it, costing another 10 billion GP.
...
The fourth material was the spectral sentinel probe, which would function as the data receiver and monitoring probe for the array.
He needed 100,000 pieces of it, costing 1 billion GP.
...
The fifth material was the blue spirit grass seed, which would purify the corrosive properties of the mana.
He needed a large quantity to spread all over the range of the formation which was 10 million kilometers of land, costing 10 billion GP.
As for the miscellaneous materials required, they also cost 3 billion GP.
All in all, for the materials alone, he needed more or less 127 billion GP.
With the cost of the beast pets for his children, using the metamorph architecture, reserving GP for upgrading the talents of his wives and children to legendary, and the materials for the artificial formation, he only had less than 200 million low-magic crystals left from the 489 million low-magic crystals he borrowed from the EGCC.
With a sigh, he bought all the needed materials and stored them in his storage ring as he boarded his flying boat.
...
While Maximus was setting up the artificial formation array, the great relocation was underway.
In the previous territory of Feris Helmsworth, which was the nearest kingdom to the Moonlight Kingdom, a hundred enormous flying vessels were parked outside the capital city.
Landon walked out of the ship and looked at the city in front of him.
"This will be the first city to be relocated," Landon cheered himself.
With the opening of the gates, Landon looked at the curious citizens watching them.
Before their departure, he already sent a notice to the branch of Aetheria Pavilion to inform people to avoid confusion and panic.
Walking in front of the people he used mana to amplify his voice.
"People, As you know His Majesty planned to move all of you in Moonlight King-"
Before he could finish speaking, some citizens interrupted him.
"I will not move! This has been my home for decades, and I will not leave for some bullshit kingdom!" one of them yelled.
Landon paused for a second, realizing that relocation was not an easy decision for them.
If it were you, would you be happy if some stranger told you to move to a new house that you knew nothing about?
These people didn't even know if all of this was real, if their king had truly left them.
It had only been a week since Maximus negotiated with Feris, so it was understandable.
Even though Feris had informed his ministers and guards about the change in rule and that he was leaving, many people still didn't believe it.
It was too abrupt.
Perhaps this wouldn't be a problem in a few months, but it had only been a week, and they still felt like they were dreaming.
"Don't worry, we will guarantee your food, housing, and clothing, and provide you with satisfactory work that will fill your stomachs," Landon thought for a while and said.
As he said that, some people were moved, especially the farmers and hard workers.
With the opening of the Aetheria Pavilion, they could barely pay taxes, as they needed to sell their crops at lower prices than the Pavilion.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven the previous king didn't care much about them. As they only came here to recruit talents and to mine resources.
Some rulers of other kingdoms were even grateful to the Aeteria Pavillion as they can just spend some mortal money to feed their people.
They just needed the common people to give birth and increase the chance of talented individuals appearing.
As for the mortal money they were just for the nobles who were greedy for mortal pleasure.
For these rulers, it's for the contribution points that they can get for every talented individual they recruit for their family.
So although the common people suffered from the opening of the Aetheria Pavillion, they would not die from hunger.
As their king would not allow that from happening.
Moreover, Aetheria Pavillion offer discounts to these affected farmers and even provided other jobs.
But it was limited after all, and not everyone could have those jobs.
So when Landon said that they would provide for all their needs and even offer satisfactory jobs, they were moved.
As for those who had been working for the Aetheria Pavilion for a while, they didn't have much resistance to moving to the Moonlight Kingdom.
They already knew a bit about the kingdom, so they weren't completely clueless and were even a bit excited about the move.
"Today, about a hundred thousand of you can board the ship. For those who are undecided, you can wait until tomorrow or the day after," Landon announced.
"If by then you still choose not to move with me, I'm sorry, but you will be left behind. The Aetheria Pavilion will also be leaving, so don't take any chances," Landon said with a serious tone.
Most of the farmers had already stopped farming.
So most of them rely on the Aetheria Pavilion for food.
"Now, for those who want to leave now, you have one hour to prepare," Landon waved his hand and dismissed them.
Soon, people started heading home and began packing what they could bring.
The poor and hungry had no choice but to leave, as they sought a better life.
The workers of the Aetheria Pavilion were excited and couldn't wait to relocate.
Some smart individuals even saw this as an opportunity to change their life against the sky.
The most reluctant ones were the nobles.
They were the ones most against the relocation because all their wealth was tied to their land.
Some even contemplated forcing others to stay, so they could continue enjoying their lavish lifestyles and live like kings.
However, the soldiers of the previous king had been incorporated into Maximus' army and were instructed to watch these nobles not to do anything funny.
These reluctant nobles could only sigh in sadness.
After all, without people to serve them, were they still nobles?
Without people, were the wealthy still wealthy if their money couldn't buy anything?
