??"It seed Senior Braylon has taken a keen interest in you. He is coming here tomorrow from the Dark Inner Circle of the Dark City to et you!"
Jacob's eyes narrowed, "You an the only Senior Grandmaster Magic Smith in Dark City?"
Rita nodded with a prideful expression as if she was talking about herself, "Not in the dark city but in the entire rare plains. If I'm not wrong, he might invite you to join as a permanent mber of our guild."
Rita revealed with a mysterious smile as she thought Jacob would be shocked hearing the term 'permanent mber,' but he remained as stoic as ever, which made her lost for words.
'I should've guessed.' Jacob thought, but his interest in Braylon only amounted to this much.
If it was before he got Ellie's invitation, he might give the guy so face, but now, in Jacob's eyes, Braylon was like any other person in the rare plains, soone he could crush at will!
But he can't be too obvious, so he ended up asking about a permanent mber as well, and Rita was instantly enthusiastic.
She even infiltrated his apartnt without his concern and started to tell him about a permanent mber. But like any other person on the rare plains, she didn't know what was a permanent mber's statue actually ant.
She just knows that a permanent mber was a genuine upper echelon of the three hegemonies, like Braylon, who was an overseer of the Dark Inner Circle's alchemy branch's business.
In her eyes, Jacob really deserved this place since he was the youngest of them all.
"I ever heard Senior Braylon's disciple in freedom plains is also coming to the dark city tomorrow, and he will be here as well." The mont she spoke about this disciple, a hint of coldness flashed past her eyes as she continued, "That guy's character is like a real piece of trash. Although he's very talented, he's too ruthless and arrogant."
She was like a gossiper as she talked about Braylon and his disciple.
However, Jacob had no interest, and he suddenly thought of sothing and asked, "Do you know about Freedom Lords?"
He was hearing this term from big characters, so he decided to ask Rita since she seed to know a lot.
Rita glanced at him as if she was looking at an alien, "You didn't know about Freedom Lords despite living in Rare Plains?"
"No," Jacob answered dismissively.
Rita's lips curled up, "You're really like a hermit old man despite your age. Let
enlighten you then. The Freedom Lords only appeared in recent years when the secret about 'Plain Trial' surfaced.
"It was then that people got to know that the four nations of the freedom plains were under the command of four mysterious existences who called themselves Freedom Lords. They all have unique titles according to the nation behind them.
"However, currently, we have five freedom lords. You know the fifth freedom lord is actually the infamous leader of Killer Skull Society, which is now recognized as the fifth power of the freedom plains, Skull Kingdom!"
In the end, Jacob was astonished because he never thought the Killer Skull Society would reach such an agreent with these four freedom lords.
'I really missed out on quite a lot.' Jacob thought with a hint of amusent and decided to check on the star news occasionally.
"Well, good for them, I guess." He coolly comnted.
The killer skull society could be considered his enemy, and he knew those guys might co looking for him if they knew he was there or they might already have.
After all, he still has their data on the cannibal plan, and from his short interaction with Important Grace, Jacob knew that data was quite crucial to society. So, they might never give up on him until he hands over the data.
But he was pretty sure they had to move even more carefully if they wanted to attempt to capture him in Dark City, and with his current strength, he was not overly worried about them as well.
"Heh, you got that right." Rita giggled as she took his words for an entirely different aning, "They really chose the worst ti to strike such a deal with the Freedom Plains. Everyone knew that they had taken advantage of the Dark Being's looming threat on the Freedom Plains to negotiate the terms of becoming the fifth power of the freedom plains.
"However, the plain trial was cleared by so mysterious person before anyone could react, leaving both Dark Being and the Freedom Plains in shock. The barrier which prevents the two sides from approaching each other is also lifted because of it.
"The Dark Beings' Ruler, the Lich King, was furious as he mounted a full-scale invasion on the freedom plains and almost killed three freedom lords. If the newly appointed Grace Freedom Lord hadn't used a mysterious trump card and forced the Lich King to retreat, I'm afraid the freedom plains won't even survive to this day."
Jacob was quite alard when he heard this, 'I was lucky I didn't encounter this Lich King at that ti. Even three of the five most powerful beings were almost killed by him. It quite evident that he was really pissed by the trial rewards snatched right under his nose.'
Jacob couldn't help but felt sowhat giddy when he thought about how he pulled a fast one on such a powerful guy, and the price had to be paid by soone else, including the killer skull society.
He couldn't help but look at Rita, who seed to be quite happy gossiping with him like a friend, and it was indeed a long ti since he had talked with soone like this.
pαпdα`noν??1`сoМ "Don't you feel remorse for those innocent lives in the freedom plains who were going to be implicated by soone's selfish decision?" Jacob asked Rita, or he was probably asking himself again without any emotions backing his voice.
Rita was started by this question as she looked at Jacob's profound eyes, and her lips curled up as she replied, "It's not like I don't care. But what can I do with my ager power? I may as well let them live in my mories. Besides, I wasn't the one who was responsible for their current state."
Jacob was in a daze for a mont before his lips curled up, and he looked at Rita before he said sothing unexpected, "Want to go in my bedroom?"
