Chapter 546 A Mythical Secret (3)
?At this point, Jacob was absolutely shocked, and he didn't know what to think. This was simply too much for him to swallow.
But then he calmed down and looked at Immortika, who was still in front of him; he didn't unsummon it just in case he needed it.
He only asked one question, "Is it true?"
"Hehehehe... how interesting. Yes, he's telling the truth." Immortika wrote.
Jacob took a deep breath as he asked another question, "Can you explain?"
"All I can say is, although you know about the structure of Zodiac Plains, you are still not qualified to learn the entire truth. Just continue what you're doing, and who knows, you might find something very interesting. But this matter is still something I can't speak about because you merely scratch the surface." Immortika wrote ambiguously. The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.
Jacob could only give up and looked at Captain Free Sword before saying, "So you learn about the Zodiac Plains structure and that's why you were hunted down by everything? For some reason, I can't believe that, since unless you won't announce it to the world, how could they find out that you learned all this?"
Captain Free Sword smiled wryly, "Indeed, it wasn't the reason I was exposed, but it was my greed that got the best of me. You see, after learning this, I didn't want anyone else to get that information. So, I try to destroy that tablet. But who could've thought the moment I destroyed it, I completed a trial condition, and the announcement exposed me."
Jacob was again astounded as he finally understood why everyone tried to go after Captain Free Sword. He unknowingly cleared a trial condition that had drawn the fury of the life faction because Captain Free Sword was a star criminal.
But Captain Free Sword was still not done, as he continued, "But even that wasn't enough to draw all the power's attention to hunt me down so furiously. Right after that announcement, another announcement was made, which was completely out of the ordinary.
Captain Free Sword was under oath, so he didn't have any choice but to transfer the map by using a star application.
After confirming the map and coordinates were authentic, Jacob was very excited as this gain was out of his expectation. Now, all he had to do was to go to the unique plains, dig out this key, and then research more about this Path of Legend.
"Am I free now?" Captain Free Sword asked hopefully, as he had already disclosed everything, and he knew Jacob couldn't go back on his promise.
"What's the hurry? I still have more questions for you." Jacob chuckled coldly as he began to ask about the powers of unique plains. Since Captain Free Sword was a native, he knew many things, and he was also a 3-star criminal, so his approach was very deep, especially in the underground area.
This was very helpful for Jacob as he would start his journey soon.
Captain Free Sword was startled when Jacob asked him about the Unique Plains, as he thought Jacob was from the Unique Plains. But now, he begins to question this notion because, from Jacob's questions, it becomes clearer that he doesn't know anything about the Unique Plains.
Furthermore, even if Jacob didn't know, the Dark City would have that information. This was really strange, as Captain Free Sword suddenly began to sense something was wrong, but he had no choice but to tell Jacob everything.
This integration lasted for about two hours before Jacob was finally satisfied, and Captain Free Sword's throat was dry because of speaking all the time. He was now fully sure that Jacob wasn't from the unique plains.
Once Jacob was done, a sword appeared in his hand, startling Captain Free Sword and blurted, "What are you trying to do?"
Jacob smiled coldly as he suddenly removed his mask, and upon seeing Jacob's face, Captain Free Sword's eyes fully widened, "YOU! I-Impossible!"
With a cruel smile, Jacob said, "Let me reintroduce myself. I'm Jacob S. King, your former slave and new master. Don't think too much about how I reach this point. Just know that I'm going to enjoy every bit of what is about to happen.
"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for giving me a chance to live. But alas, I'm not an idiot like you!"
Afterward, the entire torture chamber was filled with blood- curdling screams and begging for death!
