Chapter 469 Bureau of Attribute Acquisition


    ??Bureau of Attribute Acquisition!


    "His Majesty, the Emperor has sent in confirmation today." Standing before an auditorium filled with Royals was Amita Brimgan, addressing with power, "The Attribute will reveal itself in four years. Or to be exact, there are 1468 days for its appearance. The mining team confirmed the site but unfortunately, lost their lives in the process."


    Staring at the audience, she continued, "Based on our investigative reports, there will be 16 entrances to the site in total, of which eight will be within the Empire. Task forces ought to be established for the entrances outside. It''ll be dangerous to allow entry for the Pranic Beasts."


    "Director, since we confirmed the site''s danger, why don''t we test the path using the Pranic Beasts?" A Royal in his early twenties raised his hand and posed the question, "Why should we risk the lives of our people needlessly?"


    "You''re right about that, but here''s the issue." Amita Brimgan said and caused a Spirit Weapon to hover before her, shaped like a spiderweb with sixteen spokes. She pointed at the spokes, "Each of these serve as the entrances. But the problem lies in the fact that beyond the entrance lies a maze."


    There were eleven concentric hexadecagons—a polygon with sixteen sides—connecting the sixteen spokes. The centre was a hexadecagon where the Major Treasure of Attribute existed, representing the zerothyer.


    Until then, the spokes and the remaining ten concentric hexadecagonsbined created 160partments. Everyyer had 16partments, with thepartments on the tent –outermostyer spanning thergest area. The areas of thepartments shrunk steadily from the ninth, eight, and so on, until the zerothyer, which was the centre.


    Pointing at the spokes that extended beyond the tenthyer, Amita said, "Each spoke will reach the surface to form an entrance. If we enter it, we''ll enter the respectivepartment. For convenience, we''ll number theyers and call thepartments on the respectiveyer with symbols from A to P."


    Thepartments in the tenthyer will start from ''10-A'' and end at ''10-P'' for a total of sixteenpartments. Simrly,partments in the ninthyer will start from ''9-A'' and end at ''9-P''.


    "We''ll call the centre, where the Attribute lies as Zero." Amita said and disyed the diagram, "This is what our mining team has surveyed until now. The region affected by the Major Treasure of Attribute is a t ne divided into 160partments plus the centre. The entire ne spans a radius of 176 kilometres, with eachyer spanning a length of 16 kilometres. The ne has a height of two kilometres. It''s a massive region."


    It was shaped like a disk—two kilometres thick—sporting sixteen edges. This was the region influenced by the Major Treasure of Attribute. "The reason''s unknown, but the influenced region has such a shape."


    "Then, based on the diagram…" One of the Royals lifted his hand to ask, "Have we spotted the Major Treasure?"


    "Yes," Amita nodded, hearings bouts of shock and exims from the crowd. But, her following words downed the enthusiasm, "Unfortunately, even though we could see it, we''re unable to near it. The region influenced by the Major Treasure has been named the Attributed Region by our bureau. The walls of the Attributed Region are made out of streamlined water, as a result we''re able to see through it. It''s how we managed to detect the Attribute."


    "If it''s just water, don''t we have plenty of means to deal with it?" A Royal seated at the front asked.


    "Except, a nail-sized portion of this water weighs as much as a mountain range. It also flows at speeds surpassing the Emperor''s Spirit Weapon. This has personally been confirmed by His Majesty." Amita Brimgan said, "As a result, we''re unable to damage it. There''s a powerful force maintaining the ce. So, other than heeding its will, we have no other choice."


    "Which brings me to the initial problem," Saying so, she pointed at the spokes, "Suppose we enter entrance A and make our way through, we''ll reach Compartment 10-A. It seems there''ll be missions organised by the Attribute. If we''re able to clear the missions, we''d get what are known as keys. Each key will allow us ess to anotherpartment. From 10-A, we''ll be able to gather keys for 10-B, 10-P, and 9-A."


    "Only by getting the key for 9-A will we be able to progress forward. Otherwise, we''ll be stuck moving throughpartments on the tenthyer aimlessly." She said, urging everyone to concentrate, "The number of keys leading to 9-A are limited. Only ten of them will be avable. And this number will decrease by one for everyyer we head in."


    There will be nine keys inpartment 9-A that would lead intopartment 8-A, so on, and so forth. Finally, there will only be one key inpartment 1-A that would lead into the centre. "So, as each key can only allow entry for one person, it means only sixteen people have a shot at reaching the Attribute. And since it''s firste first served, if we were to allow Pranic Beasts to head inside first, they''ll gain the keys to head to the inneryers, which prevents us from even getting close to the Major Treasure, not to mention getting it."


    If ten Pranic Beasts inpartment 10-A manage to get topartment 9-A, it would make the rest of the Pranic Beasts in thepartment gather the remaining keys to head intopartments 10-B and 10-P in an effort to get intopartments 9-B and 9-P respectively.


    This means that as long as a group of Pranic Beasts head inside, they could swiftly spread across the tenthyer and gather all the keys leading into the ninthyer. Only 160 people could enter the ninthyer.


    The Major Treasure of Attribute cared naught for one''s strength. The first one to reach it couldy im to it, as simple as that.


    "So, it''s a race." A Royal muttered innocently and asked next, "How are we able to confirm so many details when you said we cannot enter it?"


    "There are monoliths engraved with the rules in allpartments." Amita said, "They have been engraved in all thenguages spoken in this region. Moreover, there are monoliths present that are visible from the top of the ce, the side, and even the bottom. It''s impossible to miss them, for they are disyed in all possible directions."


    Thenguages weren''t limited to the ones spoken in the Brimgan Empire, but thenguages used by all Pranic Beast races native to the region, whether major or minor. Based on the list ofnguages, the Brimgan Empire scoured through the wilds, and noted the farthestnguage was that of an Iron Grade Pranic Beast race that lived four thousand eight hundred kilometres from the Brimgan Empire.


    This meant that the Major Treasure of Attribute intended to draw in living beings from at least a radius of approximately five thousand kilometres, since ns had been made to ensure the creatures living there too could understand the missions upon reading the monoliths.


    "We even noticed Information Slips," Amita Brimgan concluded with a sigh, "This means that there will be no time wasted to understand the rules. The battle will erupt the moment we set foot within. Therefore, to increase our chances of iming the Major Treasure of Attribute, we would have to upy all sixteen entrances."
