Chapter 1002: Compromise
Once Jacob accepted the invitation, the Myth of White Swordsman seemed pleased, while the three legendary kings were visibly relieved since they were pardoned. After all, if two Quasi-Myths clash, it won’t benefit anyone, not to mention they can’t afford it.
At this moment, the Myth of White Swordsman suddenly flipped his hand. A black runic crystal appeared on his palm. Without any hesitation, he sent that crystal towards Jacob.
"This is a coordinate crystal that will lead you to my abode. I’ll be waiting for your arrival, fellow Ancient." The Myth of White Swordsman smiled.
Jacob took the coordinate crystal. He knew these crystals were made with rune crafting. They were like compasses, but they could only show location to recorded space coordinates, nowhere else. Constant Baron-0 was also using the coordinate crystal, which led her here, and the legendary kings were the same.
"Now, if you’ll excuse me. I’ll be taking my leave. I need to figure out how to get to the bottom of this matter, and maybe I might need your help. Of course, only if fellow Ancient agreed to it." The myth of the White Swordsman is ambiguously stated.
He clearly indicated the Serpent King’s treachery as he glanced at Constant Baron-0 behind him. Although he might not have shown it, he clearly knew that Serpent King wanted to target that woman behind Jacob for some reason.
But unexpectedly, the Serpent King had calculated wrong, and Jacob was not part of his plan. He wouldn’t have allowed Constant Baron-0 to walk away if Jacob weren’t here.
Furthermore, he didn’t know Jacob’s attitude towards this matter, so he probed his intentions. After all, if Jacob was protecting this woman, then it wasn’t worth offending him to chase after a ghost.
The Serpent King might be important, but he wasn’t worth offending a Quasi-Myth. Lastly, Jacob had already given him face and accepted his invitation, so there wasn’t any need to hasten this matter.
As for whether Jacob would really come, the Myth of White Swordsman sent an unexpected soul transmission to ensure that.
