"If that's the case, then do you mind if I talk with Miss Veronica in peace?" Jacob impassively asked ambiguously.
He also asked through telepathy, "Is it done?"
Diminutive eyes shimmered sharply, clearly reluctant. But since things were not going
according to his plan, he nodded, "Why, of course, you can speak with little Veronica as much as you want. I also have things to take care of. After all, we have to make sure to satisfy Mister Crimson's bloody needs."
However, unbeknownst to Jacob, Diminutive used another aspect of Soul Force that Jacob was still unaware of; soul telepathy, and sent a warning that directly rang in Veronica's head!
"I want to hear everything and don't say anything I wouldn't, or I don't want to use 'that.' Remember, you are nothing without me, and you are alive because of me!"
The next moment, Diminutive silently retreated from the chapel, leaving the grim expression Veronica behind. She never expected that Diminutive would be so wary of Jacob that he broke his promise to her, and without any care about the consequences, he directly threatened her.
But alas, she couldn't do anything. She didn't even know how to retort without alerting Jacob and then incurring Diminutive's wrath.
"So, Miss Veronica, did you really call this meeting, or was it also that goblin's idea? If it's the former, please speak your mind freely." Jacob stated at this moment after Diminutive was gone.
Once he read it, a glint of shock flashed past Jacob's eyes. When he was done, the translucent scroll suddenly turned into light particles. It was clearly a magic item, and after reading its content, Jacob was sure of it.
At this moment, Veronica finally spoke in an ambiguous tone, "That's all I have to say. If you agree, please contact me any time. I'm sure you know how. I'll take my leave now, and I can assure you that the task you entrusted the treaty will be fulfilled without any hitch!"
Veronica then nodded farewell and left without waiting for Jacob's response. Once, Jacob was alone in the chapel, resting his head on his gloved hand, deep in thought about what he had just read.
"Why are you thinking so much about it? They're already done for, and no matter what kind of scheme they are hatching, it is meaningless now." Nyx's chuckled coldly at this moment.
"I know that," Jacob replied before he clenched his fist. "But I read something in that scroll that got my attention. If she weren't a mere puppet, I would've had Autarch infiltrate her mind. But I guess now I must rely on you to get all the information from those two.
"That goblin is hiding many interesting things, and despite his careful personality, he lets that woman get a hold of his secrets. Or that woman is even more sly than that goblin."
"Oh, what is it? Tell me! I'm itching to test my new powers on them," Nyx quickly asked, clearly enthusiastic.
Jacob revealed with a solemn tone, "In that scroll, along with the lines about her being Diminutive's slave, she wrote that the thing he was using to enslave a peak quasi legend like her is actually related to an 'Hourglass.' She wrote that she had only seen him use that Hourglass two times. First, when he enslaved her, and second time, she saw him manipulating time with it. Furthermore, no matter what she tried, she wasn't able to release that slave mark on her at all, and that's also what she wants my help with.
"Although I don't know if that was his own ability or some spell, the part about the 'hourglass' reminded me of something that was very beneficial for me. I want you to find everything relating to this 'hourglass' for me. Also, confirm that the woman is telling the truth and not hiding more information."
Jacob's eyes shimmered with great interest, "Things are getting more and more interesting!'
