Chapter 398: 394 Preparing The Empire's Security

"Three days from now, the first wave of guests is expected to arrive in the teleportation stations and the city gates. Is all our curse detection orbs in place?"

In a large conference hall,  there was a great assembly of people who were working with the Anti-Curse Committee.

Mishael, the Captain of the Temple Knights took the lead in ensuring that all the preparations for receiving the guest that would come to visit the Empire for the tournament.

It was not only the members of the faculty and the delegates who were expected to come to the Empire to watch the tournament, even some of the other territories' citizens and their royal families might come.

"Yes every curse detection orb has been installed on every possible teleportation station and Empire gates. We also had the permission of the Spatial Spirit King through His Highness, Third Prince Leon to restrict all unauthorized teleportation arrays within the Empire." Nathan reported.

"The Third Prince is so amazing! We're basically the owner of the teleportation voids in the Empire!"

"I know right, it's basically the best scenario we can get! No one could sneak inside the Empire without any authority!"

"We have become like an impenetrable fortress!"

The other knights who were invited to take part of the security briefing all discussed it excitedly. In reality, maintaining security in this world was quite hard because of the existence of teleportation magic.

So even when there are established teleportation arrays, strong mages can still make a way to infiltrate the territory as long as they circumvent the laws inside the void space which is the doorway to any part of Prasinos in teleportation magic.

But having Leon being contracted by the king, partnered by Siegfried Astaze, who is well known to contract spatial creatures, the collaboration with setting up rules of trespass within the doorway to the Empire has been easily set up.

"The way spatial security works is that the spatial sentries inside the void space will just deny arbitrary access to the surface of the Empire except for the designated teleportation spots in our borders. That means that the intruders may still come here; however, they would be concentrated on the teleportation stations we have set up in the Empire." Leon looked at the relieved knights and explained.

"That meant that the intruders would most likely appear on the teleportations and those places would be the probable places of conflict." As soon as Leon pointed this one out, everyone in the hall became silent and the atmosphere became tense and serious.

"And if we fail to detain these infiltrators then it would entail another skirmish along the  different parts of the Empire. Remember, we are to protect not only the capital but our entire territory, for the enemy would most likely assume that we would concentrate our forces here and neglect the others."

"That's right. Moreover, it is another thing to encounter the infiltrators but it is another thing to handle the problematic guests who would refuse to perform our security procedures, especially the magic detection array." Antoine supplemented Leon's explanation with other possible challenges in handling the guests of the Empire.

"We tried our best to hide the fact about the detection orb, however, the hidden forces who were against our Empire had already anticipated that we would do a lot of extreme measures to keep our security intact. But they would surely take advantage of the nobles and royalties who would act offended by our tight measures." He continued.

"What we need from you, honorable men right now is to ensure that all the forces under you would never waver from the instigations of these people. Remember the despair that we have been into during the recent war. One careless move would cost our comrades and our families' lives." Surprisingly, it was Kazimir who ended the speech and even highlighted the most recent war which he was probably the most affected one.

At the three princes' reminder, the leaders inside the hall changed their view of the things about the security setup of the empire. As they listened they understood the crucial part of their role as the leader of their own platoons.

It would be futile for the Empire to employ even the most strict security measures when their own military power does not have any way to resist the hostile attacks from the enemy, may it be physical or physiological attacks made by the irate guests who were denied entry.

"We will heed your words, Your Highnesses!" They all stood and saluted in unison.

"Alright, now that you have understood we will be discussing the rotation strategy that we will do. The event, including the Main Temple's visitation, would take place for at least two months, but that does not mean that we would easily loosen our entry and exit measures after that…" Mishael then proceeded to the next agenda.

The meeting actually took half a day, discussing everything that needed to be done by everyone who was involved in protecting the empire.

After the meeting, the excited look on the knights' faces was replaced with a serious and determined look. They were reminded and informed of the possible outcomes of any lack of security and so everyone believed that they have to take everything seriously.

"It is somehow a relief to know that we have enough cure potions to store for every security point." Mishael sighed upon looking at the faces of the knights who exited the room."

"How was the Main Temple's stance regarding the cure potions?" Leon asked as the core team stayed in the room to talk a little bit more about what would happen.

"The High Priest feared that the Main Temple would have to demand all the stocks of the cure potion that our Temple had in stock…" Upon Leon's mention of the Main Temple, Mishael's expression darkened.

Kazimir, Antoine, and the rest of the Anti Curse Committee core members were shocked by his reaction.

And so it was Kayden who explained to them, "The  Main Temple is actually pressuring our side to give up not only the formula of the potion but also the stocks that we had at hand claiming that  this is the Temple's propriety."

"What!" Antoine and the others slammed the table in disbelief.

"How ridiculous! It was you Dr. Einz and your team who were able to discover the cure?! Why would they even claim that  it is a property of the Temple!" Kazimir also exploded.

"Indeed, but they argue that all the matters of the curses should have been under their jurisdiction since it was a concern for the entire Prasinos. They went on to say that we would not even know if the formula was effective until the cursed users appeared in the Empire." Mishael answered with a disheartened expression.

"Ha! The audacity to claim glory after someone had done the work! Hahaha! For decades, no… centuries, the matter of the curse has been left unresolved by the Main Temple and now they are acting like this!" Grandmaster Andi was also present in the meeting hall and had stayed for a while with Randel, who would have thought that he would hear this ridiculous matter.

"Grandpa, everyone… don't worry. Dr. Einz and I have already taken countermeasures for this thing." Eli tried to soothe the raging Grandpa Andi as she looked at everyone and explained.

"After the first discovery of the cure potion, I informed Dr. Einz that I will immediately publish the formula and receive his patent through the Prasinos Medical Association. That was even before the war actually started.

And so, that meant that the formula had already been tested outside our Empire by the medical council, which we could also conclude that the potion was certified as Dr. Einz's creation before its first usage.

Therefore, he has been properly credited for this formula which even the temple could not deny."

"What? How and when did you have time to do all that?!" Grandpa Andi looked at Eli with surprise.

"Ahaha… people like me had our distinct eccentricities." Eli vaguely answered as she could not explain to them that she had long foreseen that there would be a dispute regarding the ownership of the formula.

From the moment the High Priest warned her that there was still a higher authority of the Temple other than the Temple in Seirende, she had already persuaded Kayden to protect his work.

"It was the first version anyways… Now since it was already a public formula, every territory had already access to making the cure potion as long as their local temples would cooperate and cultivate the ingredients with divine powers." Kayden smiled at Eli and declared to everyone.

He was actually relieved that Eli and he had already decided to have two versions of the formula. One that would be made public, which would also not require Eli's powers, and of course the other one with only Eli could make.

"Well, what you did was not bad, at least the Temple could not do whatever they wanted upon getting the formula…"

"However, are we still good? We have already offended the Main Temple twice… can we bear the consequences of going against them?" Kazimir looked at Leon, Kayden, and Eli as he asked the question that haunted everyone's minds that night.
