Cursed Immortality-Chapter 636 Towards the Legendary Key

Pulane felt extremely uncomfortable as Jacob asked all kinds of strange questions, both personal and meaningless. Yet, he had no choice but to answer since Jacob wasn't someone to take a no.

Pulane led Jacob towards the estate treasury, where all the accumulation of the estate and treasures after an estate lord anointed were gathered. No one could take anything except the estate lord. The servants were to deliver anything to the Dark Rose in the absence of the estate lord, and then the Dark Rose would lock them into this treasury.

Only when they reached the estate treasury did Jacob stop questioning Pulane, and the poor butler sighed with relief.

Jacob used his star watch against the secret mechanism on the locked dark door. Once his ID was confirmed, the cogwheels began to rumble, and soon, the dark door opened.

The spacious treasury contained twelve emerald pine cone-shaped bottles in a glass case. Jacob's pupils dilated when he saw a faint wisp of dark blue particles with a tint of red particles around those bottles.

'Since this nectar is from Fulwood, I'm sure it is dilated with the life medicine. This red color is light on some bottles while heavy on others. I've already scanned many of the life medicines, life crystals, and even the dark beings' magic cores, and for some reason, their colors always contain shades of red with their rank colors.

'While any type of toxic matter like poisons have yellow shades mixed within their rank color particles, even the poison of zombies is the same. I started to understand how the Eyes of Judge works with this Judgement Gaze.

'Now, I can even see the small number of red particles around those bottles. The denser they are, the more life medicines are diluted in them. The dark blue color represents the potency of the nectar is Unique Rank, just like pills or potions.

'Nothing can fool me now, huh?' Jacob's lips curled up like a venomous snake before he swept those bottles into his pendant.

Although they were diluted, it didn't matter for Jacob since he was planning to test whether the Nectar now had a strengthening effect on his soul or if it could at least help him recover his soul force.

He was not very optimistic about the former, while he had some hope for the latter since he knew that the soul medicines above the Unique Rank would probably work on him now.

"Pulane, I'm about to leave the Dark City, and I don't want anyone to get the wind of it for three days. Do this, and I'll order Dark Rose to transfer 1 Million ZC into your account. Are you capable of doing this, Pulane?" Jacob looked deeply at startled Pulane, who didn't dare meet Jacob's gaze, which gave him chills.

Still, Pulane's heart raced since one million ZC was akin to his year's salary, and this task was extremely easy for the head butler of an estate.

"I'll follow my lord's order!" Pulane quickly bowed his head.

"Good. You don't need to announce this until you don't have to, and when the Marquis's people come to inquire about my departure, tell them I was gone, and you only found out about my absence from Dark Rose." Jacob instructed before he vanished like a ghost.

Pulane took a deep breath before pulling a wary smile. 'What an eccentric guy! He even dares to offend the Marquis while also taking his gift. Knowing the Marquis, he'll blow his top if he has some ulterior motives…but it has nothing to do with servants like us.'

Under the shade of night, Jacob used his stealth to silently visit a few places in the dark city before leaving without wearing any equipment that could be tracked, not even his Star Watch.

He feels that the Star Hackers were still monitoring his movement, so if he had exited in broad daylight, they would've followed him, and Fulwood might've tried to obstruct him.

Although he was confident in handing those guys over, he didn't want to be chased around by their higher-ups. After all, he was going to retrieve the Legendary Key now, which meant he needed to leave the Unique Plains' protection.

With his new weapon, he was 90% sure that he could protect himself even from Quasi Legendary Rank Expert, but this will also reveal his true power and trump card.

So, he didn't want to showcase his abilities and trump card unless he absolutely had to, and he wasn't going to be delusional enough to believe that those people would give up so easily if they really confirmed he had the Legendary Key.

After all, the allure of the Legendary Rank was simply impossible to resist. Even the Wyvern, like Flame Calamity, was instantly agitated when he heard about the Path of Legend. So, Jacob didn't want to find out if he could fight against all the old monsters of the Unique Plains together.

That's why three days were enough for him to leave the Unique Plains and then vanish into the boundless Star Ocean. He wasn't planning on returning here since he would start with the Immortal Chapter right away the moment he got the Legendary Key.

As for Sofie and Zoe, he had already thought of abandoning them since he knew the next part of his journey was too much for them. If he had the power, he might lend Zoe a hand before entering the path of legend.

After reaching a remote place, Jacob took out the flying ship of the Zodiac Night Federation. He loaded the marked map of the Legendary Key's location and then took flight.

With its advanced unique rank stealth, the ship vanished into the dark sky and headed northeast at full speed.

Jacob looked at the fading dark city's majestic walls from the ship's deck and sneered, "Consider yourself lucky for now, Fulwood, because I've already awakened the Soul Force.

"But I'm far from done with the Spirit Tree Race. If the nectar affected my soul recovery, I might be compelled to come back and take it all, even if it ended up extinct!"
