Jack was astonished after hearing it. He had been unable to send any ssage since he was trapped inside the forcefield cage, so no one in his guild should know his predicant. But it was true that he had told John and Jeanny about his intention to infiltrate the Order of Magi before they left. Could the person Ragorth and Hashi be talking about being Jeanny?
"Your guild mber was also the one who gave us the divine might potion," Hashi added. "She said we will need it. Well, she was right."
Divine might potion? Jack was sure now that it must be Jeanny.
"Is my guild mber you talking about called Jeanny?" Jack asked.
"I didn't use my Inspect. Did you?" Ragorth turned to Hashi.
"I did," Hashi answered. "Her na is not Jeanny. Her na is Quiet."
"Quiet…?" Jack was not aware of any guild mber with this na.
He opened his status window and went to the guild page. He scrolled down the guild mber nas. There were now almost 20,000 mbers. It wouldn't be long before they hit the 25,000 mbers cap.
Unfortunately, there was no search function. He had to complain to Wilted about this later. But luckily, there was an option to sort the guild mbers in alphabetical order. Otherwise, it would take a long ti to look for one person among these tens of thousands of mbers.
He found it then. Soone with the alias Quiet was there. She was a regular mber, nothing exceptional. She was a level 69 druid, which was the level for an average player who hadn't died before or an expert who had just worked her way back up.
'Maybe she was Jeanny's friend? Maybe Jeanny entrusted her to contact these two faction leaders and gave them the divine might potions,' Jack conjectured. Anyway, he had to go talk to Jeanny directly to find out.
"I also thank you for your aid, Master Ragorth, Master Hashi," Janus ca to greet the two faction leaders. "I'm also very sorry about all this. This is all because of my evil…"
"The evil spirit that possesses Janus' copy!" Jack interrupted abruptly, which startled everyone.
Janus turned to Jack, who gave him an eye signal that told him to play along.
"Janus here played with a dangerous magic which accidentally summoned a dangerous spirit entity. Sha on you!" Jack scolded Janus, who was still baffled by Jack's interruption. "This evil spirit possessed his copies and imprisoned him. It then masqueraded as Master Janus and went around murdering other faction leaders. We didn't understand why it did so. When I ca to visit Master Janus, I happened to find out about this and ended up getting imprisoned as well. We have been looking for a way to escape since then. Luckily, you two arrived when we were making our escape. Otherwise, we would either be dead or imprisoned again."
Janus slowly understood as he heard Jack's lies. If he was to tell the truth, it was not just about damning his faction. It would also expose the truth that one faction leader could absorb the essence of another faction leader to strengthen themselves. The perpetrator would have to delve into the mystic study to do that but it was possible. Knowing this truth might have a dire repercussion. What if another faction leader decided to follow Evil Janus' footsteps? It was better for this truth to remain hidden.
"It is… As King Storm Wind here said," Janus supported Jack's story. "In any case, it is my fault. I shouldn't have played around with such dangerous magic. I will send compensation to those factions whose leaders have been murdered or wounded. I don't know if they will ever forgive but I will do my best."
Ragorth nodded. "I can see your sincerity. We have also seen you fight your best to destroy that evil spirit. We will put in a good word for you. Hopefully, those factions will be forgiving."
"Well, my faction is one of those factions," Hashi reminded. "What will you give to compensate us?"
"I will…"
"Nah, never mind that. I don't want to be bothered by these procedures," Hashi cut Janus off. "You go and negotiate with my faction elders. I'm happy enough we have gotten rid of my leader's murderer."
"I will do that," Janus said with gratitude.
The two factions had finished resurrecting their mbers. Janus opened another exit portal for them to leave.
Before leaving, Ragorth said he would announce to other league factions that the situation with the murders had been resolved. He thanks Jack because Jack had been instruntal in solving this case. It was Jack who first suspected the Order of Magi and told his faction about his suspicion. It was Jack's guild mber that led them here. Jack was also here before them and battled this evil spirit who was the culprit. Without Jack, they might not have been able to find out.
Hashi followed Ragorth's lead and thanked Jack as well. He told Jack if Themisphere needed any of the Assassins Guild's services, they would give him a discount. Jack thanked him back and said that he might take up the offer. To which Hashi quickly corrected that his faction wouldn't target another country for Themisphere. The league factions were supposed to be neutral and they wouldn't offend one country for another, even if they had a better relationship with one.
Jack was genuinely disappointed hearing that.
After the two factions left, Jack talked with Janus a little bit more. The two confird their understanding to conceal the existence of Evil Janus so the secret thod of absorbing essences remained hidden.
Janus thanked Jack for coming to his aid. If not for Jack, he would remain in captivity and Evil Janus would have probably gotten what he wanted. Janus awarded Jack with 50,000 knowledge points.
Jack celebrated after receiving the knowledge points. "Yes!" He exclaid. "With these points, I will be able to exchange for the ga spell!"
"Are you talking about the ga spell in the minister section?" Janus asked.
"That's right," Jack replied.
"That ga spell is called Storm Rage, it is a six-runes ga spell," Janus said.
"The one you cast in the battle before has seven runes," Jack rembered.
"His one is called Storm Wrath. It is a more powerful version than Storm Rage," Peniel inford.
"That's correct," Janus confird. "If you are interested in a ga spell. There is no need to exchange for the weaker version. Here, I will give you the technique book for Storm Wrath."
"Thank you!" Jack exclaid and accepted the technique book.
