Chapter 58: War preparations (2)

Rudra sat in the lab with fatty kalash, and accompanying them was Neatwit , that guy thought that bombmaking would help him level up superfast hence he chose the class bomber. 

This choice was a blessing in disguise for Rudra as he still needed time to figure out how explosion artist worked ... Time is not something he has on hand , and there are no skills or recipes currently available on the market for the Explosion Artist class. 

This is the drawback of the special classes, the rarity of the class makes its resources available a great challenge , however thanx to Neatwit the current situation wont hinder Rudra's original plan .... They could craft the ice bombs and spike bombs. 

Unlike how most MMORPG's work , in 'omega' the finished product is not a single production item but has a series of components. The sword and hilt are forged seperately and soo is the scabbard. In the bomb department the core of the bomb the outter shell and the explosion safe mechanism all had to be forged safely. 

Although blacksmith's cant forge the core of the bomb they can still forge the other parts , hence with Neatwit focussing on the core , Kalash worked on forging the other parts. 

With Kalash being an experienced blacksmith , well not really experienced but more than the other 2 members in the room , the process was going on smoothly. Bombs being produced every 10-13 minutes. 

At the rate they were going they could make upto 100 bombs a day and considering the 2 n a half days they had till the war about 100 spike bombs and 100 freeze bombs could be made easy , with some spare to use.

What elated Neatwit was that crafting gave EXP ,The levelling maniac was sad to be forced into forging bombs for the guild , however learning that it gave exp he was instantly motivated.

This was not a lot , but it was enough to tip the scales of the battle at a critical moment. With them focusing on the task at hand , Rudra decided to head out to the library to checkout some information about common chemicals and read some alchemy books to gain inspiration for a bomb . 

As Rudra was going towards the royal library in the inner city , he saw a long line outside the building , nerds were demanding entry into the building , but noone was allowed entry , there were also some adventurers there trying to cause a ruckus as they had quests that required them to gain information from the library. However infront of the lv200 Royal knights noone could use brute force to gain entry. 

Everyone was being rejected no exceptions barred.Then a haughty adventurer strolled through skipping the massive line towards the guards , acting as if it was normal for him to do this , like he was a VIP. 

Upon reaching the guards he said " Im a baron , let me through ". 

The guards looked at the baron and although there was a tinge of coldness in their tone , still showing basic respect they said " Sorry sir , not even count' s may gain entry without his majesty's permission . 

The adventurer was dumbfounded and tried to cause a ruckus however was kicked out by the guards. The onlookers laughed at the guys misfortune , while the person scurried away in shame. 

Rudra in the robes of the True Elites guild walked confidently along the line , the crowd jeered " another idiot who thinks he is special and can gain access to the library ". 

" It will be fun watching him being kicked out ". 

" Those robes , He's a True Elite ! ". 

Many turned heads after this comment , many started recording , the scene of a True Elite being denied access would make hot news . 

Rudra approached the guards and showed the mark on his shoulder , the guard's eyes widened in surprise as he quickly opened the door and bowed to Rudra in respect saying " Welcome , sir Von Knight ". 

Rudra strolled through uncaring ..... The entire audience was dumbfounded at the scene , even counts cannot gain entry , which meant one needed to be atleast a marquis to just walk in like that ? But there were no marquis in the current player base , also with the system making the requirements much more stringent it wasnt possible in such a short time , it would take years before a player reaches that level , soo just who was the guy who walked inside then? The haughty guard even bowed? . 

The scene caused a sensation on the forums , and Rumors about a player named 'Von Knight' joining the True Elites began spreading . 

The parties keeping a close eye on the war situation were trying to analyse the new variable .... And how it could affect the war ... Many emergency meetings were called to discuss about this new incident. 

------------------ 

( Inside the library ) 

Rudra walked into the quiet and lavish library , there was but two people beside him inside the place. One of them looked like a librarian , wearing grey robes and spectacles , however Rudra could tell that the person was immensely powerfull , he activated the eyes of truth and checked out the stats 

[ Rahim ] ( Wizard/ Librarian ) ( Lv 230 ) : A wizard thirsty for knowledge , serves the Royal family of Patel' s in Hazelgroove kingdom. 

Then he looked at the other youth seated on the table reading books 

[ Aman patel ] ( Crown prince of Hazelgroove kingdom ) ( Necromancer ) ( Lv 160 ) : The first prince of Hazelgroove kingdom , the next in line to the throne , practising the dark arts of Necromancy , he is someone not to be provoked. 

Rudra retracted the Eyes of Truth , he was shocked seeing the two men in the room , and they were shocked to see him. Not many could enter the Royal library as and when they wished .... Just who was the guy who entered ? Aman knew all the Marquis and Dukes of the Kingdom and their family , yet never did he see this young gentleman. 

And to their dismay they could not use identification magic on the person. Having no idea who he was Aman frowned.

" You are....? " He asked in a cold voice . 

" Shakuni von knight " Rudra replied nonchalantly 

Both their eyes widened in surprise , a Von Knight , Amans attitude took a 180 as he smiled and pointed to the seat against him for Rudra to sit. He said " Please.." .

Even the librarian who was throwing dirty looks to Rudra a moment ago was now respectfull. 

" Dont mind if i do .... " Said Rudra as he took his seat
