YM778.TV Chapter 293 Contact!
After giving those complex numbers a last glance and finding nothing wrong, he opened his star watch interface and saw it was an audio call from Dilly, which he was expecting in the first place.
So, he accepted it without any delay as he was hoping to hear good news.
"Greeting Guild Leader." Dilly\'s somewhat apprehensive voice rang.
"Get to the point." Jacob coldly commanded as he didn\'t have much time to waste.
"Right away." Dilly quickly stated, "I contacted my connection in the noble circle, and according to him, it\'s impossible to send a message or even approach the Dark Earl\'s manor. Only if Dark Earl invited someone himself, only then can someone approach that place." His voice sounded depressed and fearful.
Jacob frowned as he didn\'t blame Dilly since he knew just how high-status dark nobles held in the dark city, so how could the lord of the city be approached so easily?
At least that guy didn\'t try to cheat him out of his ZC by providing false information. So, he knew he had to search for those reaming materials himself. The only problem was that Black Robe Alchemist still hadn\'t replied to his message, and he didn\'t know any places which matched the inhabitant environment for Nightmare Lilly in the rare plains.
So, it might pose some problems.
Anyhow, he would worry about that bridge when it was time to cross it, he was still busy dealing with the plutonium, and he had to be very careful not to blow himself up.
"Alright, you did well." Said Jacob, and he was about to end the call when Dilly promptly said, "Wait, there\'s something else, Guild Leader!"
Jacob frowned, "What is it?"
"Bank Manager Leroy called three hegemonies collective meeting today and invited the upper echelon of the three powers in the dark city. He even invited Dark Earl." Dilly quickly reviled.
Jacob\'s dismissive look at the end turned sharp, "Something like that happened? I don\'t care about this meeting. Just tell me, how did Dark Earl respond?"
"How could that be? The Dark Earl had never bothered himself with matters of three hegemonies as long as they were not related to the dark city itself. So, this time wasn\'t any different.
"What I want to talk about is that Bank manager Leroy didn\'t send an invitation to you, the active Guild Leader but Senior Braylon in the common circle. He even changed the meeting place to the common circle so he could easily attend it.
"He didn\'t even bother to invite anyone from the inner circle. This is blunt disrespect towards you, Guild Leader, and everyone is unhappy." Dilly angrily stated.
Jacob cocked an eyebrow since this matter was really fishy, and he guessed it was likely related to the massacre three days ago.
Because this Bank Manager was the one who called this meeting, and the star mercenary agency was affiliation organizing of the bank.
Whichever the case was, Jacob didn\'t care about those small characters\' schemes anymore. As long as he is in the rare plains, he\'ll just kill anyone who wants to die early.
He dismissively asked, "Is that it?"
Dilly was speechless on the other side as he didn\'t expect this kind of response from the tyrant Guild Leader.
"That\'s what I think so. I\'ll be back in a week, so don\'t disturb me unless you have a way to contact Dark Earl or he appeared outside the noble circle." Jacob scoffed before he cut the call without waiting for a reply.
This matter wasn\'t even worth remembering for him. He was just about to go back to whatever he was doing when his star watch vibrated again, making him scowl. When he looked at the interface, astonishment flashed past his eyes because it was an unfamiliar caller ID.
"Great Hallberg wanted to send you a Projection Call!"
"Accept / Reject / Projection Setting!"
\'Hallberg? Someone from the Killer Skull Society or from the Bank?\' Jacob\'s frown deepened as he clearly had no idea just who this fellow was, and his ID was at least 1-star, so he guessed it was another character from the epic plains. And he only offended two sides in that place, so those two names came to mind.
Nevertheless, he still picked up the call with a blurry projection setting since this guy could be from the guild for all he knew.
The moment he accepted the call, Hallberg\'s dark yellow blurry figure materialized. He also didn\'t want to show his true appearance to Jacob not yet.
"Who are you?" Jacob asked coldly, looking at the blurry figure.
He never got the point of a projection call. If you still want to hide your face, you can directly send an audio call. But these bigwigs like to put the façade of mystery.
"Heh, aren\'t you been looking for me? I\'m the Dark Earl of Rare Plains Dark City!" Hallberg revealed imposingly in a deep tone. He had no intention of hiding his identity.
Jacob\'s eyes widened as he felt like it was some kind of trick, he was looking for this guy and to no avail, but now he was contacting him on his own. So, no one could blame him for thinking that it was some kind of joke.
Still, only a few alchemists knew he was looking for Dark Earl, and this guy seemed to know he\'s been looking for the Dark Earl. Not only that, but his Star ID was also at least 1-star, and if he was really the real Dark Earl, then this meant he wasn\'t the only one present in the rare plains who had a 1-star privilege Star ID.
The enigmatic Dark Earl was also a 1-star privilege Star ID holder, and the reason was enough for Jacob to take this guy seriously if it turned out to be the real deal!
