Chapter 506: Chapter 356: You Know Nothing About Benefits and Compensation

The four rear ritual arrays, the most valuable being the ’Myriad Woods Vital Roots Defense Array’, the main material required for this array is plant roots. The toughness and vitality of the roots greatly affect the defensive capability of the array.

And one of the fields our organization excels in is plant cultivation.

Liu Chang is a big shot in this area; with the Tree of Life from Yiduola, along with a variety of special plant seeds he drew from fate extraction, and other humanoid demon plants created by Liu Chang and the like to assist with growth.

If arrays and secret information are the weaknesses of Sparkfire, then the cultivation of mysterious plants is definitely a strong point of Sparkfire.

With a boost in materials, the Myriad Woods Vital Roots Defense Array might approach or even rival Legendary Tier arrays.

"Liu Chang and others could also research this array for possible improvements... However, Sparkfire’s accumulation of array information is still too little, and our technical reserves are insufficient, making improvements challenging."

At the same time, this defense array is also the most costly to set up among them.

Arrays, unlike Strange Implements and potions, have consumption requirements that depend not only on the tier of the array but also on its scale. It’s not uncommon for a blue-tier array to exhaust more resources than a Legendary Tier upon deployment.

Defensive arrays, when combined with city walls, have costs that would make any power furrow their brows, requiring careful calculation. An additional kilometer of city wall might mean an enormous increase in expenditure.

"Fortunately, the investment in the Myriad Woods Vital Roots Array is less compared to other types of defense arrays, with the main consumption in the cultivation of root materials... and currently, Sparkfire is not lacking in Mysterious Crystals."

He contemplated starting with fortifying Blazefire Oasis.

Firstly, Blazefire Oasis is small, so the investment in encircling it is not significant. Secondly, Sparkfire Oasis has already built an array-enhanced city wall, and building another one seems a bit wasteful.

Secret arrays and notary arrays both have considerable value. As for the Blood Source Infusion Array, Fang You lost interest after reading the description and decided to let it gather dust in the data archives.

"However, what exactly is the mysterious entity in the notary array?"

"Is it a symbol, an indescribable being, or...?"

Staring at the description that had been entered into the system and displayed on the panel, Fang You fell into deep thought.

A notary array is one type of array that, as the name suggests, establishes contracts under the witness and authorization of a notary, endowing the contract with mystical restraining power.

Different notary arrays use different mysterious entities.

It’s just that what exactly is a mysterious entity?

"Is it of the ninth tier, or maybe the tenth tier, or something else?"

"It can’t possibly be an indescribable Evil God, can it?"

He had such worries. The notary array set up earlier by the elder Bai Yao indeed emitted faint traces of a presence that became incredibly terrifying when probed deeply.

However, this presence was vastly different from the Evil God he had ’looked straight into.’ Not only was it not as bone-chilling, but there was also something fundamentally different about it that he couldn’t quite articulate.

"Notary arrays, mysterious entities, these seem like common knowledge within superpowers, but Sparkfire has no access to such information!"

Just now, Qianqiu had even asked him what a mysterious entity was.

Fang You, too, would like to know, so why don’t you just cling to that white-haired elder and ask him?

Fang You could only pretend to be busy and ignore Qianqiu’s messages.

"Taking over the Hidden Assassination Pavilion may allow us to find relevant documents, but we need to be quick."

For this mission, he had arranged for Qianqiu to accompany the Pavilion Master of the Hidden Assassination Pavilion to the Shattered Sea. He also assigned over thirty individuals with management capabilities from the organization’s third and fourth awakenings to establish a foothold for Sparkfire’s front - the Blazefire Commerce Guild - in the Shattered Sea.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to dispatch more specialized personnel – professional accountants, lawyers, HR managers – but given the risks of traveling across a Great Domain, and the potential for sudden peril despite having a myth-tier ally in tow, this temporary solution was necessary.

It’s just unclear how much information they could gather and whether the documents would be moved before they could obtain them.

In his view, even if notary arrays were potent, exploiting loopholes in the contract, which consisted of fewer than three hundred words, didn’t seem difficult.

He had even considered hiring a team of lawyers to draft a detailed and carefully constructed contract. However, due to a lack of familiarity with notary arrays and in order to preserve the enigma of the Blazefire Commerce Guild, he put aside such thoughts.

Fang You never put his trust solely in the small paper contracts of arrays; profits were of course a more significant motivation.

Even if the Pavilion Master of the Hidden Assassination Pavilion sought revenge, it would be a matter of six months, a year, or even several years down the line. By then, Sparkfire...

Images of myth-tier allies standing in rank flashed through his mind.

However, the assault by the Pavilion Master of the Hidden Assassination Pavilion and Youlius, both myth-tier figures, also exposed a shortfall in his own ranks.

— Insufficient reconnaissance and early warning capabilities.

If it wasn’t for Youlius’s disdain to conceal himself, showing off his myth-tier aura early on, the poisonous fog might have enveloped Blazefire Oasis’s skies long ago. This wasn’t to say Blazefire Oasis was weak, because no oasis could detect a myth-tier being intent on hiding.

Only a myth can detect another myth.

On the other hand, stepping out of the oasis leads to the vast grey mists, which obstruct vision and are littered with Mysterious Evil roaming about, making any arrangement difficult to maintain and hence, scouting and early warnings all but a dream.

After some thought, Fang You was unable to come up with any plans and decided to resort to the measures used by most oases and super oases — that is, to protect the land with defense arrays and to prevent enemy infiltration with detection and barrier arrays.
