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.

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.

"It was; the path of Legend will open in a century. I don't know what that means, but the moment that announcement was made, all those powers came after me like bloodthirsty hyenas.

"Furthermore, I discovered an old key in the debris of that tablet, and if I'm not wrong, that key has something to do with this path of Legend. So, I have no choice but to flee. I somehow managed to exit the trial plan and then wanted to wait for more information.

"But who could've thought that those bastards would place such a lavish reward on my whereabouts, and then those traitors appeared, and everything went sidehill." Captain Free Sword couldn't help but furiously gritted his teeth.

This miserable state he was in was exactly those traitors' fault, and now he had no choice but to become a slave to someone else and sell his secret to preserve his life!

"Where is that key?" Jacob hurriedly asked as this path of Legend made him think about the Legendary Rank, and it might be a way to enter the higher plains.

Captain Free Sword might not know about the legendary rank, but Jacob does, and he knew those powers also knew, so they went after Captain Free Sword for more details.

But even they hadn't imagined just how difficult Captain Free Sword was to deal with, and he managed to flee all the way to the epic plains.

"I've hidden it on a barren island in the unique star ocean once I found that everyone was coming after me. The coordinates are saved in the map of my star watch." Captain Free Sword revealed.

Jacob couldn't help but comment, "How sly, if they had captured you, you could've used this same method to buy your life back and if they had killed you, this secret would've also gone with you. I have to admit, you are full of surprises, Mr. Pirate.

"Nonetheless, since we are in agreement, give me that map and coordinates right now, and you'll be a free man and reap many benefits." He coolly said before throwing a star watch to Captain Free Sword.

Jacob also thanked his stars that he didn't kill him, or this huge secret would've been lost. Now that he knew this key might have something to do with the legendary rank, he absolutely had to have it.

So, he decided to give Captain Free Sword an epic star watch to reconnect with his star ID and transfer this map since he also needed this once he entered the unique plains.

Furthermore, he only remembered that the star network was still down, and Captain Free Sword once said that a unique rank species like him couldn't connect with the Epic Star network.

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!
