Chapter 697 A Hope (1)
Jacob reached the Unique Plains without a hitch and couldn't help but feel slightly nostalgic after seeing lush plains without gravity or water.
However, he knew this peace wouldn't last long because if his guess were right, the Unique Plains would soon plunge into chaos, and in truth, for him, chaos was a huge opportunity.
Nonetheless, he still had some unfinished business he needed to take care of in the unique plains, so he steered the flying ship in another direction, which was his next destination. Moreover, he was also on the lookout for some living beings to experiment with the Gluttony Mask.
At this moment, Jacob suddenly thought of Zoe and Sofie, whom he hadn't contacted for over two decades. He was supposed to help Zoe become the Dark Duke, but then his circumstances changed, and he left the dark city and the surface.
He knew Zoe and Sofie had tried to contact him several times during his seclusion, but he completely ignored everything and stowed his star watch in the infinity pendant.
Now that he was back, he decided to try contacting Sofie again to get some up-to-date information about the Unique Plains or what had been happening since he was in the deep ocean. But he wasn't too hopeful about her picking up.
However, to his surprise, she picked up the moment his call connected with her, and Sofie's anxious voice rang, "My Lord! Is that you?"
She really sounded worried, which made Jacob feel something foreign that he seemed to have forgotten, and he couldn't put his finger on it. Still, he completely ignored it and said in an impassive tone, "Indeed, it's me, or do you think someone else can use my Star ID?"
"Thank the heavens that you are alright. We were really worried about you when we weren't able to reach you," Sofie said, sounding both relieved and indignant.
Jacob was about to end the call when Sofie spoke in a hurry, "Wait, my lord!"
"Is there anything else?" He asked with a frown.
"N-nothing... it's just... will I be seeing you soon, my lord? I can now properly serve you since Lady Zoe helped me with my bloodline. Now, I'm a Tier-8 Unique Rank Sorceress and Advanced Unique Rank potion, rune, and pill alchemist. Moreover, soon, I'll break through to Tier-9!" She asked with an expectant tone, and she sounded quite proud when she told him about her progress.
Jacob was also a little surprised to hear that Sofie had managed to reach almost a peak unique rank and three alchemist fields in over two decades.
After mulling it over for a moment, he replied, "If you really want to follow me further, you have to become an expert in the three steps of legend. Unique Rank is nothing in front of me anymore, nor do they serve any grand purpose in the place where I'm heading."
"What is Three Steps of Legend?" Sofie was baffled by those words since it was the first time she had heard them, and she couldn't help but feel her heart racing since Jacob hadn't directly refused her and even told her she could really follow him.
"That's for you to find. If you can't even find this information, then I don't think you have any chance to progress. Now, I'm hanging up." Jacob impassively stated before he cut the call this time without waiting for Sofie's reply.
But he frowned deeply, 'Why did you give her hope? Are you really planning on letting her tag along? What the hell is going on...'
Jacob's eyes narrowed as he felt something he hadn't felt for anyone in this place ever since he had come to the Zodiac Plains: anticipation!
