YM778.TV Chapter 299 The Incoming Danger
But even after eating those five guys whole and their hearts, only a deep scar over his left eye was recovered while his charred socket and the eye were still the same.
After his inquiring with Immortika, he found that his eye was destroyed by the magic, and he had to regrow it, which meant he needed far more nutrition than just five extraordinary rank beings with legendary descendants states.
If he needed to regrow his eye, he needed Advance Type-2 herbs or high-tier epic-rank beings, which was clearly impossible to achieve in rare plains!
So, he thought of another solution, the Type-2 Titan Tears!
After he managed to learn the rune language and philosopher language, he naturally examined this miraculous formula that can help anyone advance to a higher rank.
He discovered the titan tears book not only contained type-0, and type-1, formulas of the potion, but there were still four unidentified formulas that he couldn\'t read because they were probably in type-2 philosopher\'s language.
But with his current attainment in alchemy and the philosopher\'s language, he could still decipher the basic type-2 titan tears formula.
As for the remaining formulas in the book, he knew they were probably above type-2 or even type-3 rank. He never thought this book discovered in the common plains would be so terrifying, and he almost traded it for a map.
Anyhow, he knew as long as he created type-2 titan tears, his eye would be recovered.
As for the advanced type-1 titan tears, which he already had in his pendant, he knew it was not enough, and he would only waste it, and he has other use for it, so he didn\'t want to use it as all the titan iron he bought from the champion\'s space was already used up.
The advance type-1 rank titan iron was quite rare. Even in the guild, he only found around eight hundred grams, and he took it all.
To make the basic type-2 titan tears, he naturally needs basic type-2 titan iron, and in the rare plains, he could only think of one person who might have it or at least knew where to find it, and he was currently headed to meet him right now.
Lastly, he also got to see the final percentage of his Cursed Blood Condensing, which was 5.1%, and it was after eating eight legendary descendants\' hearts!
This naturally left Jacob depressed because he only got 0.2% added into his previous 4.9% Cursed Blood Condensing Stage. It was too low in his mind, and it wasn\'t seemed like worth trading his eye for and almost dying.
"Welcome to the Rare Dark City, Esteem Wanderer!
"Please Identify yourself!
"Seeking permission to scan the Star Watch
"Will you accept?"
Jacob heard Dark Rose\'s voice and the same notifications he heard when he entered the dark city for the first time. So, he allowed the scanning.
"Identity Scan Complete!
"Faceless Ancient (Senior Grandmaster Gunsmith Alchemist)
"Dark City Status: Alchemy Guild Leader
"Dark City Criminal Record: None
"Dark City Noble Title: Upper Dark Noble (Temporary)
"Welcome Back, Sir Faceless Ancient!
"You have an appointment with the Dark Earl.
"You have been allocated a 7-day pass in the Dark Noble City Circle by the Dark City Administrator (Dark Earl). Do you wish to start your visit right now or on a later day?"
\'At least he was the real deal.\' Jacob felt somewhat good after confirming that the Dark Earl was really the real thing, and he arranged for his visit as he had promised.
His evaluation of the guy raised a bit, but this didn\'t mean he would forget about the fact that the Dark Earl also has a 1-star privilege like him in the rare plains.
"I\'ll take it today," Jacob replied without hesitation, as he didn\'t have time to waste after the assassination an hour ago.
"Very well, please embark on the lift Sir Faceless Ancient. It will take about 2 hours to reach the noble circle. I\'ll inform the Dark Earl right away!"
With Dark Rose\'s fading voice, the entrance slide opened for Jacob, and he entered without hesitation.
If Jacob had known he had dodged a lethal bullet by deciding to enter the Noble Circle of the Dark City without wasting more time, he would appreciate Hallberg even more.

Within the Dark Castle of the Dark Earl,
Hallberg, wearing a dark mask, sat on a dark throne like a king while there were nine figures sitting on the chairs two steps below his throne. It looked like a royal court of a king.
Hallberg also didn\'t have that happy-go-lucky air around him anymore as he sat there with dignity, and those nine figures didn\'t dare to even breathe heavier in his presence.
"Did someone find out why the Lich King specifically said he would flatter the Dark City with the Magic Beast Forest? Who offend him from the Dark City?" His voice was extremely gloomy.
A giant with a masculine build and deep scars over his face answered with a heavy tone, "My men approached him and tried asking the same thing, but he killed them. It\'s clear he had gone mad after his defeat in the dark ruins. He knew his days are number, as we all know with the incoming reinforcement, the Dark Beings will probably send his replacement."
"We let him take the Freedom Plains exactly because he won\'t take this kind of foolish decision. But not only did he not appreciate our kindness, but he even dared to march his troops toward our city. Did he really think, since we don\'t interfere with day-to-day matters, the Dark City is afraid of some corpses?!" A tall orc woman with a white lion head roared furiously.
"Whichever the case is, I\'m pretty sure many people in the dark city will try to run away as they are all here since they are cowards in the first place. I have already noticed people exiting the dark city silently, and those are probably the guys who know what is coming.
"Even some of our lower and upper dark nobles have shown signs of uneasiness, and some leave outright. Even some Dark Nobles in the Noble Circle are suggesting to evacuate the city post hastily as this fight is a lost cause." An elf worriedly stated.
"Heh, you\'re just expressing your own intentions in the sham of others. It\'s so like you, Dark Viscount Cloven." A 2.9-meter-tall giant woman wearing black battle armor scoffed disdainfully.
"Dark Viscount Water Wave, don\'t slender others without proof!" Cloven retorted with a dark expression while there was a hint of panic deep hidden in his eyes.
"Enough with this nonsense!" Hallberg slapped his hand over the handle of his throne and said in exasperation, "If the Dark Being Armies wanted to annihilate the Dark City, they needed to sweep through the magic beast forest first, and unlike Freedom Plains, we won\'t let them do that anymore.
"Let\'s chip away their numbers as much as we can before we deliver the killing blow once they enter the Dark Zone. Dark City has been silent for too long; it\'s time to show why even three hegemonies have to show respect in Dark City!"
Hallberg coldly declared before his Star Watch vibrated…
