Chapter 387: Jacob's Dark Plan
As the entire city suddenly started to buzz in alarms, Jacob dived, knowing that something like this would happen, and he knew he had little time to act before the most powerful people present in the city would be on his tale.
However, while he was heading down, he took out something from his pendant space and then let it go.
With his fast speed, Jacob quickly touched the ground while the public was still in a stupor about the whole alarm situation. The next moment, the disc under his feet quickly vanished, and he merged into the massive crown.
However, the very next moment, alarming cries started to appear from the sky, and they were becoming clearer and clearer as if something or someone was falling down.
The people in the vicinity quickly noticed, and they happened to see a three-meter black-winged eagle falling from the sky with one of its wings badly injured. However, no one dared to take it lightly as that eagle was a Tier-1 Epic Rank Magic Beast, and in that state, it was even more dangerous.
However, the city was filled with combatants of much higher ranks than the eagle, so it wasn't that big of a deal either.
But one thing became clear in everyone's mind the alarms were probably ringing because of this eagle who tipped off the city's alarm system when he suddenly fell down.
No one paid attention to a blue-armored barbarian who walked slowly in the opposite direction where the eagle just fell.
It was Jacob who chose to fill his face with barbarian-like tattoos since those guys were the closest thing to humans after elves.
Furthermore, the barbarian race was one of the strongest races present in the epic plains, unlike the Rare Plains, where their kind only had the potential of rare rank species.
Lastly, now that everyone thinks he is an elf, it is even more convenient for him to turn into a barbarian, and this identity will be perfect for hiding in plain sight, and he can do what he wants in City NO.543.
Jacob landed in some sort of market area as there were many shops in the street, and at this moment, the alarm around the city finally stopped ringing, and nothing out of his expectation happened.
This was the sign that using the Black Winged Eagle as a scapegoat was a very wise choice, and now he was a fish in the ocean.
Jacob then looked at those shops which were affiliated with one of the three hegemonies because only the member of the hegemony can open a shop in medium size city, not unaffiliated folks.
Then Jacob's attention was suddenly drawn by a very high-tech shop which has a Star Watch hoarding lit in lights. With his sharp eyes, he spotted a phrase line and was surprised.
'Epic Star Watches, control them with your thoughts and magic. Maximum Protection from the Star Hackers is Guaranteed!'
Jacob was intrigued by those words as he didn't expect the epic rank star watches would run on magic and could be controlled with just thoughts. But he wasn't going to buy it, even if he wanted to, because he had to pay with his bank account, and that would undo all the things he had done to protect his identity.
Furthermore, he was still not sure if those three leaders could track him down using his star watch, so he would not be using it at all until he was sure that it was absolutely safe.
Not to mention, he was going to have more star watches for what he was about to do.
"Cursed Immortality!" He summed up the cursed book with a grim expression.
"Oh, you're still alive? I thought I would be lonely in the ocean bed for a long time, but you really know how to race someone's heart, huh? It's not like I'm complaining though since I don't have a heart... haahahah..."
Looking at the usual impish words, Jacob wasn't impressed or even felt annoyed anymore since he was used to Immortika's eccentric behavior.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it. I summoned you because I want you to tell me which spices I should go after and who could give me a large percentage in Cursed Blood Condensing Stage." Jacob coldly questioned.
"Oh? Are you planning on hunting within the city? I must say you have developed some backbone, and day by day, you are doing things that are far more dangerous than they're worth. Are you sure you are following immortality, not death? Hehehe..."
"I've just recently learned the hard way that in pursed of immortality, I have to learn how to evade death, and the easiest way to do it is to keep it at a distance where I can see it coming. It's far better than dying unknowingly. So, cut the crap because I know you're having a blast, and just give me the damn names!" Jacob stated coldly.
He knows fully understands that Cursed Immortality was there to guild him on the way to immortality but not help him along the way. On the contrary, he was even vigilant of its help now, and that's why he was not planning on asking it since every time it helped him, he always found himself in some grave situation soon after!
Even though he was alone and wasn't as powerful as the other people present in the city, he wasn't helpless by all means. Instead, as long as he was targeting a single person, he was deadlier than anyone in the entire Epic Plains!
"Tsk, tsk, when was I become this obvious? Nevertheless, since you are planning to give me a show, I'll happily provide the stage for you. From what I've observed, this city is filled with Elves, Barbarians, Orcs, and Giants Races and their subspecies.
"The good news is those races have legendary ancestors, but the bad news is they are too far apart in generations from them. They can't even become Unique without external help.
"So, I'll give a roundabout estimate of how much you could increase your cursed blood in case you kill three people from each of their subspecies present in this city. Let's just say it should be around 30% which will make you equivalent to a Tier-3 Epic, physically!"
