Jacob pondered grimly, as this revelation was also very important to him as well.
'If this is true, then didn't this mean if someone wanted to go into the Unique Plains, they also needed this Medallion at all cost? Event these Uniques didn't dare to venture toward the Unique Plains without it!'
Nevertheless, right now, all that matters is escaping this terrifying group and then finding a way to break free from their clutches, and then he can be relieved and think about anything else.
Jacob asked with scrutiny, "Then Captain want me to seek help from the three hegemonies?"
He knew only those three powers who ruled the entire Alive Plains of the Life Faction could pull this off, if not a single individual. But this was also a good thing for him since Captain Free Sword didn't ask if he was capable of such feet.
Captain Free Sword would never have thought that the person in front of him was a sole champion of a Plain Trial because it was already miracle enough for someone from the Rare Plains to have an Honorary Badge.
The moment Captain Free Sword confirmed Jacob wasn't the person he was thinking him to be, all that interest vanished and was replaced with his own motives.
Captain Free Sword nodded with a cunning smile in response, "Of course, only those guys can stand a chance in Epic Plains Trial. In the norm, it should've been a problem, and you had to do some more groundwork.
"However, you had an Honorary Badge of the Life Faction, which made you a sort of celebrity among the three hegemonies of the Epic Plains. I can bet there aren't even ten persons who might have Honorary Badges in the entire Epic Plains.
"Because every plain generates only 1 Honorary Badge after each reset, and almost every prominent individual will do anything to acquire it. But it's far easier said than done. That's why you are extremely lucky to have acquired that badge in the Rare Plains.
"Or I should say we also got lucky to find the only person who had acquired an Honorary Badge in the Rare Plains and even managed to travel all the way to the epic plains. You might have some well-wishers in the Epic Plains already, which made you even more perfect for infiltrating their ranks on our behalf before stabbing them in the back!"
Captain Free Sword burst into delightful yet evil laughter while both Harold and Masha snickered with malicious looks on their faces.
However, Jacob also wanted to laugh at them in disdain because, contrary to having well-wishers, he had enemies instead. After what happened with Hallberg, he might not trust even his own kin anymore.
In a sense, Jacob was like these pirates who could betray anyone when it came to wealth or their own benefits, and the only difference between them was his goal was not wealth but immortality, which also made him even deadlier than them.
"I understand. I'll follow your orders and do as you tell me to." Jacob agreed with a reluctant look on his face as if he was unwilling to take that risk, yet he had no choice.
This only made Captain Free Sword even more assured that sending Jacob on this mission was the right choice. Because only those people who cherish their lives are most motivated when their lives are on the line. Captain Free Sword was such a person himself.
Now that Jacob's freedom was in his hand, he didn't doubt for a second that Jacob would even think of doing anything which jeopardized it.
"Very good, Mr. King, you're indeed a very admirable person, and if you perform well, you'll not only get your freedom, I might even take you with us to the Unique Plains to broaden your horizon!" Captain Free Sword promised.
Jacob pretended to be elated and quickly thanked Captain Free Sword, "I won't disappoint you, Captain Free Sword!"
"Masha, I'll be handing over Mr. King to you so you can implement certain conditions on him. I shouldn't need to tell you the specifics, right? Just the usual staff." Captain Free Sword coolly asked Masha.
Masha nodded in understanding, "I know what I need to do, don't worry. I know what you want, Captain."
Nodding in satisfaction, Captain Free Sword then looked at Harold, "Prepared for Mr. King's departure tomorrow according to the Retaliation Plan-3, just degrade it to the Epic Plains. Oh, and prepared an Advance Epic Rank full body Combatant Set for Mr. King. This will assure his survival in the Epic Plains even further and keep our confidant safe."
Then he turned toward Jacob again and said, "See? I'm going to prepare everything for you, Mr. King. You just need to follow my plan, and you'll be free in no time. Now, you can enjoy your stay with Masha. Try to charm her, if I might suggest, she's a very lovely girl, and you might earn your freedom much sooner."
"Ahh, Captain, can't you do the same yourself?" Masha didn't mind Captain Free Sword's joke and played along coquettishly.
"Dear Masha, you are a lovely woman, but the fact remained the same, I'm not a masochist." Captain Free Sword candidly chuckled.
"Tsk, tsk, no fun for me, I guess." Masha clicked her tongue, pretending to be heartbroken.
"Alright, follow me." Masha then didn't waste any more time and commanded Jacob.
Jacob, who wasn't taking that conversation as a joke, felt his body starting to move its own the moment Masha's words fell into his ears, and he started to walk behind her.
Then Jacob suddenly thought of something, "Tell me, Immortika, if I can't hear her voice. Will my body be free?"
Jacob knew how those parasite gems worked. The parasite gem had two components to make it work, the Parasite Gem, which was like a responder that responds to anything that will be commanded through its receiver. It was another gem normally embedded in jewelry.
But to give the receiver the command, two things were essential, the life signal and the voice of the life signal owner. If any of these two things were missing, the parasite gem wouldn't react.
So, if the same rules apply to these Slave Runes, then if he could stop his hearing sense, then any command Masha would give would be nullified!
