Under the power of the Blood Cross, there were 19 Shelters. It was divided into 1 main headquarters (capital), 3 high-level shelters, 6 middle-level shelters, and 9 low-level shelters. Not too much, but obviously quite prosperous when compared to a group of people who have no shelter and have to keep moving from one place to another.
The main shelter was given the code of Shelter 1, the place it was the center of the Blood Cross, so it was the largest and most prosperous. Underneath, there were three high-level shelters namely Shelter 11, Shelter 12, and Shelter 13. Under him again, there were six middle-tier shelters namely Shelter 101 to Shelter 106. Lastly, there is a low-level shelter codenamed Shelter 1001 – Shelter 1009.
Based on the name alone, everyone knows that the higher the level, the larger the shelter and the more prosperous their lives. Of course, what is meant by prosperity is people who are strong enough, in other words the Hunters who live there.
As for the refugees, ordinary people .. wherever they continue to suffer. Even more suffering than in a low-level shelter.
At this moment, Alexander who was walking into his room slightly lowered his head. His eyes are not so focused. The young man thought about what to do after this.
‘Necessary materials are not enough. Even some of the main ingredients could not be found here. Conditions like this cannot be continued.’
Alexander took a long breath. Arriving at the room, the young man immediately closed the door. He hung his robe and sat on the bed. Then he gazed towards the simple wooden shelf in the corner of the room.
There, there seem to be a lot of things. At the very top, there are several small bottles containing various types of toxins. In the center, there are some strangely shaped plants and fruits. At the very bottom, there are several mutated animal body parts such as fangs, claws and feathers.
Unlike the level 1 evolution herbs that only had a general effect of being able to improve the body, the level 2 herbs had another effect.
After hundreds of years of development, the level 1 potion recipe had been refined and other potion recipes had also been developed. Level 2 evolution herbs themselves had two types, and there were several types in the next level.
First there was the normal level 2 type evolution potion that the Hunters used to consume. This herb improves the body without having any other effects. Only used to strengthen yourself and prepare to break boundaries.
Last is a special type developed with a very long time. The level 2 evolution potion was made with more valuable and rare plants. The herb not only improves the body, but also develops toxic resistance. In other words, developing the body's metabolism in a certain way and finally can be a special ability that is ‘poison’ resistance after breaking the level 2 limit.
You could say, one of the amazing discoveries made by mankind!
However, the recipe is not owned by many people. Even if there were some higher-ups who had the recipe, collecting the ingredients was still troublesome. It takes more time and struggle, more difficult than normal type potions.
Because of their impatience. Many higher-ups of the various guilds considered the choice a dead end.
For example, an ordinary Hunter might be able to purchase potion ingredients with points if it worked hard. At least one bottle every 2 or 3 months. That means, no later than 30 months .. 2.5 years to reach level 2. Of course, if they don't die in their hunt. If you are more lucky and hardworking, it can be faster.
As for the special potion, it was more difficult. If more common materials could be obtained by exchanging points, some rare materials would have to be obtained by searching for them themselves into the wild. If you are lucky, you can get enough material. If unlucky, death would greet before obtaining the first potion.
“Should I take the normal route?” mummy Alexander.
After saying that, he was stunned for a moment. The young man then covered his face with his left hand. He gritted his teeth while staring with eyes full of hatred.
“Even if talented, that normal route is still not enough! Miracle roots from creatures with special abilities (special), unique herbs that make the foundation more sturdy, and the best equipment. Only with it ..”
“Only in that way can defeat a Hunter at a higher level or powerful beings who cannot be hunted at the same level!”
Alexander took a deep breath. After a while of breathing, his face calmed down again. His expression became more stable than before.
‘Quiet. Calm yourself, Al. Excessive emotions can't change anything. Think positive. At least the first step can really be done and miracle root black ghouls are also obtained. More ...’
‘There is a bonus that was not even recorded and was once notified by the old man. Looks like this is a special case.’
Once he calmed down, Alexander began to search his little notebook. It was a book in which he wrote various pieces of information that were considered useful. Not his diary.
After finding the book, Alexander began flipping through the pages and began searching.
“Me!”
The young man again muttered in a voice that only he could hear.
“If want to go to a better place without having to be watched too closely, Shelter 11, Shelter 12, and Shelter 13 are the most suitable. Shelter 1's? Forget it because it's not necessary.
In terms of safety, of course Shelter 11 is the best. Shelter 12 had a spacious place and more people, suitable for blending in the crowd. As for Shelter 13, the place was more dangerous because it was close to the forest and the valley. Even so ...
Danger with opportunity!
If you choose this place. Growing to level 3 in a few years is not impossible. What's more, there must be more monsters that are suitable in the hunt at that place.”
After that, Alexander started circling the word Shelter 13. The young man then wrote some notes on another sheet, then closed the book with a satisfied expression on his face.
“Then it's decided!”
Alexander got up and started packing things that were considered valuable. He also cleaned the room, only then rested one day and warmed up tomorrow morning.
...----------------...
The next morning.
“Are you really going to go?” ask Old Woody.
Alexander stood in front of Old Woody with a large backpack on his back. There were two swords on the left waist, a knife behind the waist, a water container not too large at the right waist, and carrying a spear. The young man was also wearing a robe, dressed very completely.
“Ya.” Alexander nodded lightly.
“As I expected. You are not fit to be in a small hole like this. For a person like you .. the vast outside world is indeed more suitable.” Old Woody put on a wry smile. “Then I hope you can reach your destination.”
“I will receive your blessing,” reply Alexander relaxed.
The young man nodded lightly and then turned around. After walking a few steps, he stopped and looked back.
“There is still enough water and dry food in my room. I can't take everything. You can take it and share it with Claude.”
Without waiting for an answer from Old Woody, Alexander left.
Go continue the journey that had stopped at this place.
