Chapter 199 Envelop, Meteoroid Incoming
Chapter 199 Envelop, Meteoroid Incoming
21st December, 7 in the morning.
[The third and final stage of the training is for you to feel and grasp the intent of any medium that contains knowledge. There are carved stones, tablets, scrolls, books, symbolic language carved platforms, and everything else you see in this hall.]
[Do not touch them. You must feel their intent, hear their whispers, and grasp their knowledge. Depending on your performance during this stage, the starting rank of your passive skill—Whispering Knowledge—will be determined as this stage is the most important.]
'What the actual fuck?' Almond was dumbfounded.
...
Meanwhile, the grand meeting once again began as Rudra sat in his chair with a huge screen in front of him with small sections, each showing the top guild leaders, old monsters, and other top heads of families and organizations.
"The auction list is here. I won't publicize the effects of items, but only their appearance, name, and rank."
"That's better. We don't want anyone to find their effects after buying them."
"That's right."
"I'd also buy some for research if they catch the eye."
"Indeed. The legendary items are quite complex and have much knowledge in them that we can extract in regards to mana applications and crafting."
Admiral Rudra saw everyone's expression and internally snickered. He knew their jaws would drop once they saw the list of items.
"That said, I think we should start the auction on 25th December, morning," Viktor Volkov said while caressing his thick beard.
"I agree," Bianca Moretti nodded. "The monthly event of the Labyrinth is going to be announced and start on the 25th, we'll likely get the notification at seven in the morning. Once the auction concludes and some of us are armed with new legendary items that Rudra promised to put on the auction, we'll be able to perform better in whatever event the Labyrinth throws at us."
"Indeed. Rudra, you told me there'd be a Legendary sword," Silvester grinned. "I'm gonna buy."
"You have no chance unless there's two of them," Hiroshi Ryugiri calmly quipped in.
"Dream on, old fart."
"Just stating a fact."
"Alright, here's the list. You all take a look first," Rudra posted the list, seeing the duo begin to bicker.
Everyone's eyes went to the panel with a list of items, their names, appearance, and rank.
And in the next second, everyone's eyes flickered with surprise and shock.
"Old man, so many items?!" Aryan was dumbfounded.
"Admiral, why don't you just share it?"
Rudra crushed the envelope as it scattered and smiled, "You can buy it and then release the information to the public."
"Since you all talked about generosity on how we should share the information, I'm sure one of you big-hearted fellows will buy it and release the information."
"..."
"..."
"Alright, the meeting is adjourned. The auction building will be constructed in two days by GAA in Firefly City's northwest ocean bay. You all do whatever publicity you can and get sellers if you want to. We'll discuss this in tomorrow's meeting."
...
Admiral Rudra turned off the monitor as he got up.
"Astra, show me the research progress on Almond's flying ship. How is it going?"
"Very well. I've made a rough blueprint of the ship and am now adding the structural and formative details as per the research team's progress in analyzing its magic formation, engine, and function runes. In my estimation, we will extract all details in the next 19 hours."
"Good. Make sure the team gets enough rest and energy. It's fine if it takes a bit more time."
"Understood."
But just as he was about to begin his daily training session, an alarm rang, accompanied by Astra AI's voice.
"Admiral, a meteoroid impact just entered our earth's mesosphere. It's coming down at 71 kilometers per second, and it will crash in the Frozen Tundra sector in approximately 62 seconds based on atmospheric factors and the high surface of Frozen Tundra."
"The meteoroid will survive based on its size and crudely estimated structure definition and result in a meteorite of some unique material."
"The impact is going to break the frozen tundra and affect the ocean belt of the planet. I've started calculation of tsunami chances at coastal areas and other factors that could affect population due to weather."

"We couldn't detect this coming in?" Rudra frowned.
"Yes, we couldn't, Admiral. This has never happened before."
"Something's wrong." Rudra's guts churned. "Scan it, photo it. I want all the details since it entered the atmosphere."
There was no chance of stopping that meteoroid from crashing because Frozen Tundra was one of the highly affected areas by magic, and its atmosphere was dangerous enough. Sending even the closest guild there would take an hour.
Meanwhile, the rats had already arrived at the Frozen Tundra and were at a certain mountain digging holes to find something according to the emissary's instruction.
