However, instead of explaining the situation, he told them that everything would be understood once they qualified... for now, they needed to earn their spot in the tournant, and the registration period was around the corner.
He handed them a file filled with information about their other rivaling regions, as there were plenty of them signed up for the event... Five noteworthy ntions:
Veythralis’ Region – Northern District, North Arica.
Auravel’s Region – Central District, Europe
Eryndral’s Region – Southern District, Africa
Thalurean’s Region – Eastern District, South Arica
Elyraeth’s Region – Far Northern District, Asia.
Veythoria’s Region – Eastern District, Australia.
Those five regions were powerful enough to contest against Halamar’s region.
Then, he expanded the holographic globe on the continent of Africa, or more precisely, the Northern District... Heliodor’s Region was positioned on the western side facing the Atlantic Ocean. From its location, it was clear that Morocco’s capital, Rabat, was the one blessed.
There were other Holy regions near it, the closest being Lumoria’s Region... which was across the diterranean Sea, positioned in what used to be called Madrid.
But everyone focused more on the highlighted, shadowy pillars covering great areas of the Northern District... So were small, and so devoured a decent amount of territories.
These were Nightcrawlers’ nests, and each of the known ones was docunted depending on how many attempts were made to destroy them.
Lord Hicham pressed a relatively small nest about a hundred kiloters east of their region... Its details appeared as such:
//Nest Rank: Shadow Castle.
Nest Leader: Syc’closs (Tier 4)
Leader’s Conqueror rank: Invader
Conquest Team: Zyrr’Kalith, Druv’Shaar, Kraev’Morr, Thyss’Rahl, Orr’Vekth.
Conquest Team Na: The Drowned Court.
Successful Defenses: One.
Territory Size: Fifteen square kiloters.//
"After thorough research, we believe this nest shall serve best as your first Raid... It’s challenging compared to what other raiders start with, but you aren’t like any other raiders." Lord Hicham smiled, "Still, if you feel like it’s too much for you, do tell."
Everyone turned to Levi, their captain, who was already in the process of studying the nest’s details... he read about the nest’s leader, his powers, his team’s fighting style, and such.
Once he finished, he nodded in approval. "Seems good."
The others supported his decision imdiately.
"When do we start?" Arthur cracked his knuckles with a grin.
"Create a team first, give it a na, and put an application on the CRS Platform... If all the requirents match, it will be approved, and you can start putting out challenges on nests." Lord Hicham shared.
"I believe the team’s na is already decided." Levi smiled, "Heliodor’s Raiders... no need to make it too extravagant."
"Agreed."
Shia, Nurah, and Jojo nodded in approval.
"Really... it sounds lukewarm." Arthur tightened his fist in front of them, "We need a glorious na, a na that will strike terror into everyone’s hearts!"
Seeing his friends’ unmoving expressions, Arthur turned to Jasmine and asked for her help with a pleading look.
Alas... Jasmine shook her head and pointed her slender finger at Levi’s... her choice was clear.
"Damn it... Fine, Heliodor’s Raiders it is." Arthur gave in, seeing that all the girls were on his brother’s side.
Once the decision was made, everyone opened their CRS spiritual Profile Interface, which resembled a nocturnal contract, but with their details written on it.
CRS Platform – Raider Faction Profile:
Profile Na: Levi Larson
Raid Team: Undecided.
Current Rank: Marauder (3000 RP required for promotion)
Total Raid Points (RP): Null
Total Raids Won: Null
Total Raids Failed: Null
Winstreak: Null
Value of Total Treasures Sacked: Null
CRS Genie Wishes Earned: Null
Fastest Raid Recorded: Null
Privileges Unlocked: Null
Next Rankup Requirents: 3000 RP
Achievents: Null
Profile Title: Null
The profile interface was more or less similar to Nocturnal’s Ring with slight differences... such as the promotion criteria depending on Raid Points collected.
The Raid Points were collected throughout four criteria: the value of the treasuries looted in the end, the size of the territory raided, speed & efficiency (how fast the raid went), and last but not least, the Raid’s title... which was connected to the CRS Genie Wishing chanism. But more on that later.
Three thousand RP as a promotion was quite significant, but it wasn’t based on the individual, but the team... In other words, if the team collected the points, they could be used to get promoted together.
Levi pressed the Raid Team button and was sent to another tab, showing him his na as the team’s founder and captain... five empty boxes were listed underneath it with three words written in the center.
-Invite a mber-
Levi sent his brother and friends invitations, which they received and accepted in a heartbeat. Imdiately, their pictures showed up in the boxes while their details were written beside them.
Once the six boxes were filled, a button lit up at the bottom: -Approve.-
Levi pressed it, and everyone watched three dots appear in the middle of the spiritual screen, resembling a loading screen.
Though the wait lasted barely ten seconds before a sentence showed up.
-Congratulations... Heliodor’s Raiders Team has been created! You are eligible to start your Raids... Best of luck!-
"I guess we are in business now," Shia smirked, removing a lollipop from her mouth.
"Heliodor’s Raiders... I wish it were taken or sothing. But again... who will take such a crappy na?" Arthur mumbled under his breath, still not fond of the na.
Everyone heard Arthur’s mumbling protests, but no one gave him any attention but Levi, who uttered calmly, "Arthy, a na is nothing... until you make it an sothing."
Lord Hicham smiled in approval, knowing that there were thousands of epic-sounding team nas across the globe... yet, none seed to rember them.
"If you want to voice your challenge, just will it, and a similar spiritual map of the world will show up before you." Lord Hicham said.
Levi did as he was told and was fascinated to see a nocturnal contract lie flat in front of him, and then, releasing a spiritual map with black and golden pillars spread out across it.
Levi moved the planet with his finger and zood in on the Northern District until he found The Drowned Court team and their nest.
Once he clicked on them, he was t with two choices:
-Standard Raid.-
-Customized Raid.-
Levi pressed on Standard Raid and clicked again on the confirmation ssage... once he confird his decision, four ssages appeared on everyone’s screens.
-The Raid will be launched in fifteen days... Ti is based on the Tizone of the nest.-
-The CRS Platform will choose a Gamaster, who will handle the Death Ga’s details... but, as per the rules, the map chosen will favor the defending faction.-
-You will be invited to the Ga Hall in twenty-four hours.-
-May your plunder be plenty.-
"The nest should have received our challenge, and will start their preparations thoroughly." Lord Hicham crossed his hands behind his back, his expression stern but tone soft, "Based on the timing, the Raid will begin a week after we register in the Great Campaign, which will help us keep up with the rest of the contesters."
"So, it’s best to take those fifteen days seriously and work together to build so cooperation and familiarity." Lord Hicham concluded, "Lord Idriss will take it from here... visit him in an hour, he will be waiting."
Once he finished, Lord Hicham nodded at them with a gentle smile and a gaze that lingered on his daughter’s face... then, he turned around and left, knowing that his daughter must be given so alone ti with her new friends to get along with.
Jasmine gazed at her father’s back for a mont and then turned around to look at Levi and the others, who started talking about visiting the restaurant’s rooftop for lunch.
Of course, everything uttered was shown as holograms for her... only Levi was using hand signs since he couldn’t use holograms.
Seeing this, Jasmine’s gothic dark lips couldn’t help but curl slightly in intrigue.
’How can he see? He seems too natural for soone blind...’ She thought as she touched her ear, ’I should ask him... maybe he knows a way to help hear?’
However, just as she was about to ask him, Shia and Nurah slipped their arms around hers and said, "Jasmine, let’s go grab so food... There is so much to talk about, and you ain’t running away this ti."
’Ah...’
Jasmine glanced behind her at Levi’s, but in the end, she couldn’t muster a sound...
