Chapter 1592 1592. Concealed Fact

Jack was astonished after hearing it. He had been unable to send any message since he was trapped inside the forcefield cage, so no one in his guild should know his predicament. But it was true that he had told John and Jeanny about his intention to infiltrate the Order of Magi before they left. Could the person Ragorth and Hashi be talking about being Jeanny?

"Your guild member was also the one who gave us the divine might potion," Hashi added. "She said we will need it. Well, she was right."

Divine might potion? Jack was sure now that it must be Jeanny.

"Is my guild member you talking about called Jeanny?" Jack asked.

"I didn't use my Inspect. Did you?" Ragorth turned to Hashi.

"I did," Hashi answered. "Her name is not Jeanny. Her name is Quiet."

"Quiet…?" Jack was not aware of any guild member with this name.

He opened his status window and went to the guild page. He scrolled down the guild member names. There were now almost 20,000 members. It wouldn't be long before they hit the 25,000 members cap.

Unfortunately, there was no search function. He had to complain to Wilted about this later. But luckily, there was an option to sort the guild members in alphabetical order. Otherwise, it would take a long time to look for one person among these tens of thousands of members.

He found it then. Someone with the alias Quiet was there. She was a regular member, nothing exceptional. She was a level 69 druid, which was the level for an average player who hadn't died before or an expert who had just worked her way back up.

'Maybe she was Jeanny's friend? Maybe Jeanny entrusted her to contact these two faction leaders and gave them the divine might potions,' Jack conjectured. Anyway, he had to go talk to Jeanny directly to find out.

"I also thank you for your aid, Master Ragorth, Master Hashi," Ja.n.u.s came to greet the two faction leaders. "I'm also very sorry about all this. This is all because of my evil…"

"The evil spirit that possesses Ja.n.u.s' copy!" Jack interrupted abruptly, which startled everyone.

Ja.n.u.s turned to Jack, who gave him an eye signal that told him to play along.

"Ja.n.u.s here played with a dangerous magic which accidentally summoned a dangerous spirit ent.i.ty. Shame on you!" Jack scolded Ja.n.u.s, who was still baffled by Jack's interruption. "This evil spirit possessed his copies and imprisoned him. It then masqueraded as Master Ja.n.u.s and went around murdering other faction leaders. We didn't understand why it did so. When I came to visit Master Ja.n.u.s, I happened to find out about this and ended up getting imprisoned as well. We have been looking for a way to escape since then. Luckily, you two arrived when we were making our escape. Otherwise, we would either be dead or imprisoned again."

Ja.n.u.s slowly understood as he heard Jack's lies. If he was to tell the truth, it was not just about d.a.m.ning his faction. It would also expose the truth that one faction leader could absorb the essence of another faction leader to strengthen themselves. The perpetrator would have to delve into the mystic study to do that but it was possible. Knowing this truth might have a dire repercussion. What if another faction leader decided to follow Evil Ja.n.u.s' footsteps? It was better for this truth to remain hidden.

"It is… As King Storm Wind here said," Ja.n.u.s supported Jack's story. "In any case, it is my fault. I shouldn't have played around with such dangerous magic. I will send compensation to those factions whose leaders have been murdered or wounded. I don't know if they will ever forgive me but I will do my best."

Ragorth nodded. "I can see your sincerity. We have also seen you fight your best to destroy that evil spirit. We will put in a good word for you. Hopefully, those factions will be forgiving."

"Well, my faction is one of those factions," Hashi reminded. "What will you give to compensate us?"

"I will…"

"Nah, never mind that. I don't want to be bothered by these procedures," Hashi cut Ja.n.u.s off. "You go and negotiate with my faction elders. I'm happy enough we have gotten rid of my leader's murderer."

"I will do that," Ja.n.u.s said with grat.i.tude.

The two factions had finished resurrecting their members. Ja.n.u.s opened another exit portal for them to leave.

Before leaving, Ragorth said he would announce to other league factions that the situation with the murders had been resolved. He thanks Jack because Jack had been instrumental in solving this case. It was Jack who first suspected the Order of Magi and told his faction about his suspicion. It was Jack's guild member that led them here. Jack was also here before them and battled this evil spirit who was the culprit. Without Jack, they might not have been able to find out.

Hashi followed Ragorth's lead and thanked Jack as well. He told Jack if Themisphere needed any of the a.s.sa.s.sins Guild's services, they would give him a discount. Jack thanked him back and said that he might take up the offer. To which Hashi quickly corrected that his faction wouldn't target another country for Themisphere. The league factions were supposed to be neutral and they wouldn't offend one country for another, even if they had a better relationship with one.

Jack was genuinely disappointed hearing that.

After the two factions left, Jack talked with Ja.n.u.s a little bit more. The two confirmed their understanding to conceal the existence of Evil Ja.n.u.s so the secret method of absorbing essences remained hidden.

Ja.n.u.s thanked Jack for coming to his aid. If not for Jack, he would remain in captivity and Evil Ja.n.u.s would have probably gotten what he wanted. Ja.n.u.s awarded Jack with 50,000 knowledge points.

Jack celebrated after receiving the knowledge points. "Yes!" He exclaimed. "With these points, I will be able to exchange for the mega spell!"

"Are you talking about the mega spell in the minister section?" Ja.n.u.s asked.

"That's right," Jack replied.

"That mega spell is called Storm Rage, it is a six-runes mega spell," Ja.n.u.s said.

"The one you cast in the battle before has seven runes," Jack remembered.

"His one is called Storm Wrath. It is a more powerful version than Storm Rage," Peniel informed.

"That's correct," Ja.n.u.s confirmed. "If you are interested in a mega spell. There is no need to exchange for the weaker version. Here, I will give you the technique book for Storm Wrath."

"Thank you!" Jack exclaimed and accepted the technique book.
