Karna and SMG gathered about 48 other members , both from the old members and the newly hired assasins to make a team of 50 members for the robbery.

Karna was pleasantly surprised to see that all 300 of the new recruits had all crossed the level 40 tier one threshold. They were worthy of being members of the True Elites. He was satisfied with the overall strength of the group. 

The team had set out for Nineclouds kingdom on the signature wolf mounts. The enterouge of 50 black hodded men on wolves naturally gained a lot of attention , as it was common knowledge at this point that it was the Elites. 

Unknowingly as it may be the elites had started to make a cultural impact. Especially in the Hazelgroove region , they were extremely popular and hence many wished to imitate the guild. 

Sculptors who made wolf figurines sold out faster than other animals , whereas black was the preffered color of all hoods. 

Even the term ' i am an elite gamer ' had to be modified in Hazelgroove. You either said ' i am a professional gamer ' , or you said ' i am a league above ordinary gamers '. One could not use the term Elite. Only the members of the True Elites guild could call themselves Elites . This was purely organic reaction that ordinary gamers had came up with , out of respect for the guild. 

Ofcourse the larger second and first rate guilds did not accept the terminology , calling their core members Elites. However the impact was definitely there. After repeated humiliation at the hands of the True Elites guild , many were ashamed to call themselves Elite gamers. 

It would take about 3 days time on mounts to move from capital city of PurpleHaze to the mountain range having the royal vault. 

The party members chatted and shared in game experiences as they journeyed towards the designated destination. 

----------------------------------

( In the True Elites Headquarters , virtual world ) 

Rudra was massaging his temples currently , Neatwit had just expressed his willingness to talk with Ethan Grey about the issue , hence he gave him the week off , to try sort things out. 

With Fatty Kalash being busy with Lifestyle guild duties , Karna gone on mission , and Neatwit on leave , his workload had a significant increase. 

The investigations about the chalice were a huge headache. Rudra knew the storyline a bit from his past life experience. 

He knew that the organization needed the chalice as part of a relegious ceremony paying tribute to the fallen angel Lucifer. 

The chalice was actually a sealed semi legendary artifact which could be used to purify any liquid poured inside to its highest purity grade. 

Pour in basic mana potion , the chalice will make it highest purity advanced mana potion. 

Pour impure water , the chalice will make it divine water with healing capabilities. 

Sealed by a tier 5 wizard , the artifact in his hand was currently meaningless , and his own power far from being sufficient in unsealing the object. 

It would be a lie to say that Rudra was not interested in the artifact , and had he not have his previous life knowledge never would he even think in his dreams that the artifact in his hand is actually a semi legendary item. 

All kinds of inspect spells even those cast by tier 4 appraisers would not be able to see through this item. 

The unsealing of the item was an extremely ugly ordeal , with 10 tier 3 wizards sacrificing the blood of over 250 different species of humans and animals alike to cast a forbidden unsealing spell. 

The unsealing will cause a massive shockwave that will trigger the first calamity event in the continent , the eruption of Mount Tai. 

The entire ordeal was just bad for buisness , Rudra had two possible plot lines that he could follow , one was to surrender the chalice to the Church Of Light , and request help from the pope to unseal the item and protect it from the demonic forces. 

Or option two was when the mysterious faction came knocking , and yes according to his past life memories , some NPC 's approached the guild who won the bid for the item. To negotiate a sale. To sell them the item , and extort maximum payment from them. Then after they unseal the item , Rudra could storm the location along with his NPC army and his sister Patricia Won Knight , doing a great meritorious service to the country while also regaining possession of the unsealed item. 

Option one was not risky at all , it would probably deepen his relations with the Church Of Light and gain him some rewards. 

Option two was a lengthy plan with a lot of headaches , but as he aldready knew the location of the blood ceremony, and an NPC army at his disposal. He had some chances of succeeding. However should he fail , he would gain even less than the Church deal. 

Rudra had a huge headache about which direction to move forward , when Amelia came in announcing that two Hooded NPC'S request audience. 

Rudra straightened his back , thinking ' ohh , that was quick ... I need to make a decision fast! '. 

He told Amelia , " okay let them in , i think its related to the quest item ". 

Amelia nodded as she ordered an npc maid to guide the visitors in. 

One huge and one tiny figure soon entered the guild hall , and took a seat infront of Rudra , both took off their hoods and looked at Rudra. 

One was a girl , the other was a burly man , but from their body language it seemed like the little girl was actually the leader in the group. Rudra squinted his eyes as he said " To what do i owe the pleasure of this visit? ". 

The burly man instantly frowned sensing the disrespect in Rudra's tone , however before he could speak , the girl said " You are in possession of an item we require. Its a chalice that your guild has purchased in a recent auction , we want to negotiate the price to buy that item ... ".
