Cursed Immortality

Under Jacob's impassive eyes, Curtis controlled his star watch, but he didn't touch the interface, and everything was happening like magic. Jacob instantly understood that the star watch was the same one he saw on his way here.

'He's not just controlling it with his thoughts, but mana is also in play here…' Jacob mused as now he could feel the faint undulation of mana in the atmosphere, especially after he formed the epic water core.

At this moment, a half projection appeared, it was a woman clad in a violet dress, and she was 1.9 meters tall and had black hair. But her most distinguishing feature was her foxy ears covered in white fur, and her foxy eyes were icy and astute. She was a demi-human and the Vile Witch Valley's Regional Guild Leader of the Alchemy Guild because of her status as a Basic Elder Grandmaster, Sofie!

"Guild Leader Curtis, did something happen for you to call me so abruptly?" Sofie's icy voice rang as she looked at Curtis.

If she wasn't the Regional Guild Leader and Curtis hadn't been working under her, she would never have bothered to pick up the call of a Senior Grandmaster so easily. But it didn't mean Curtis could disturb her whenever he wanted.

Curtis didn't dare to waste Sofie's time as she knew this bode nothing but bad news for him, if he displeased her and quickly stated, "I know you are very busy, Elder, but this gentleman claimed that he has a Rune Artificer Legacy which he's willing to trade for your help!"

Sofie's cold eyes finally widened in disbelief as if she just heard something absurd, "Are you messing with me?" She coldly stated.

"I won't dare! Please hear him out. He's right here." Curtis quickly stated before the projection suddenly revolved toward Jacob and stopped when Sofie was facing him.

Sofie squinted her eyes when she saw the 'barbarian' looking at her impassively, "Is there any truth in Guild Leader Curtis's words?"

Jacob smiled meaningfully, "It's an honor to meet you, Elder. You should know we barbarians don't like to lie, nor do we have a tendency to cause trouble for others or ourselves. My time is also precious, and yours is even more, so let's get this over with. You can judge for yourself if what I'm telling is true or a lie by seeing this."

Jacob then flipped his hand, and a white parchment filled with inky rune symbols appeared, which were shaped in a formation and profound words.

Not to mention the elf and Curtis, even Sofie's eyes went wide after a moment of seeing that parchment, and they all seemed to be immense in it.

Right at this moment, the parchment in Jacob's hand vanished, snapping everyone out of their focus.

"Now, do you want to continue this conversation?" Jacob asked with a meaningful smile while sitting comfortably in his seat. He just showed a part of the entry-level formation blueprint he has.

He knew as long as Sofie wasn't an idiot, she would know what it was and believe his words because these blueprints could only be bought by a Senior Grandmaster Rank Rune Artificers!

Sofie's eyes shone with greed at this moment as her heart raced, "What do you need my help with?"

As an Elder Grandmaster, she knew just how big this opportunity was, and unlike Curtis, she didn't beat around the bush as she knew only something with ample confidence would dare to reveal that he had a rune artificer legacy or a complete idiot, and Jacob struck her to be formed.

Furthermore, she didn't think this barbarian would try to trick her or run away because if the fact were revealed that a barbarian has an entire legacy of Rune Artificer to the public, the entire barbarian race would become a target. Everyone knows just how much these barbarians care about their own.

Jacob knew the fish had taken the bait and said, "I want you to concoct 200 Basic Epic Rank Pills. I will provide the formula and all the materials, and I also want to monitor the entire process."

Sofie narrowed her eyes but didn't reply right away, as if she was mulling over this while Curtis and the Elf were holding their breath since this deal would also affect them as a whole.

Jacob didn't rush Sofie as well since he already knew what her answer would be. He was going through all this trouble so he could make Sofie come here on her own accord.

In the end, she agreed with a nod, "Very well, come to the Alliance City NO…."

But Jacob suddenly cut her short, "I think I failed to mention that you need to come here. For a personal purpose, I can't come to you, or do you think I don't know where you live and had to go through so much trouble to contact you?"

"Why can't you come here?" Sofie inquired with scrutiny as she found this extremely strange even Curtis was the same.

They were all wondering about this exact thing, and now it seemed there was more to this than met the eye.

Jacob coolly replied, "I'm not obliged to answer that question. I think Rune Artificer Legacy is enough to make you come here, is it not? You and I both know you're getting it at a very cheap price, so stop asking meaningless questions.

"You will make those pills in the guild, so you don't need to worry about me running away after we are done or having malicious intentions towards you. We all know that only a fool would try to do anything to an alchemist within the alchemy guild."

Sofie didn't find any falsehood in Jacob's words as she knew better than anyone that it was a fact. But this also made her think something else, 'Could it be he wanted those pills for something else? And that person can't leave the city, so it needed to stay put… to actually make him trade that legacy….'

A peculiar glint appeared in her foxy eyes, and for the first time, she smiled, which was extremely alluring, "Very well, I'll be there in three days, and in the meanwhile, you will be my guest, and until I come, Guild Leader Curtis will entertain you on my behalf, Mr.? sorry I didn't know your name?"

Jacob dismissively replied while looking deeply into those astute eyes, "I'm Nobody!"
