"You might be?" Karim impassively questioned while secretly gauging the giant before him as his third eye flashed montarily, 'He's wearing a disguise mask?'
Karim was secretly surprised; his spiritual eye prowess was higher than Jacob's epic mask, so he saw through it. Still, he didn't comnt on it since this kind of disguise thod was quite normal, but his guard was fully up.
"Slumber Hex!" Jacob directly used the slumber hex. Since this person was a witch then, the more ti he wasted, the more loopholes Karim would find, and he might do sothing.
So, he wasn't going to back down just because of Karim's identity and directly decided to drop the act. After all, as long as he was discreet enough, by the ti soone found sothing amiss, he would be long gone, and it wasn't like he was wearing his own appearance right now.
"Refine him into your puppet," Jacob ordered through ntal transmission, and Autarch didn't tarry and quickly got to work. Jacob didn't touch anything in the workshop and waited patiently.
An hour later, Kareem opened his eyes, and they were without any emotions; he had turned into an Autarch puppet.
"Let's go. You'll secretly control him and collect the titan iron. Once it is done, Karim will have vanished without a trace, and others will think he has run away with all the wealth of Potion Alchemy City. Oh, and make it look like that Karim killed this guy out of spite. I'm pretty sure no one will bla him and cover it up. As for Jeremiah's wealth, transfer it to his disciple. It's the least we can do for taking his life." Jacob coolly commanded before Autarch quickly followed his order and then entered back into his solar plexus.
When Jacob was left alone, the elf was waiting outside, and seeing that it was only Jacob and Jeremiah were still inside, he felt sothing amiss.
"Lord Karim said you should co back half an hour later." Jacob impassively told the elf before making his way towards the left.
'Just what happened in this hour, and what does the lord want with that bastard?' The elf thought, but since it was 'Karim's' command, he didn't dare to ignore it.
At that ti, he didn't know that after half an hour, when he returned, he would have to dispose of Jeremiah's body, and Karim imagined at that ti to be a devil in his heart.
Jacob exited the alchemy building and returned to his lodging. Autarch could easily control Karim's every action from this distance, and even if soone noticed Karim's uncanny death, they wouldn't be able to connect it with Jacob.
After all, the one who killed Karim was not him but Autarch, who was within Jeremiah's body, so even if that mysterious tracking curse appeared, it would target Jeremiah. That's what Jacob was aiming for.
However, when the witch race finds that Karim is still fine, they might think that it is just a false alarm, and with Autarch's manipulation, Karim can tell them that Jeremiah tried to attack him, but he easily disposed of him.
It was the perfect plan because Autarch puppets were extrely realistic, and no one could tell the difference until they began to decompose. But a corpse of a unique rank being would take at least a year or so before it began to rot, so by the ti it beca noticeable, Jacob would be long gone, and no one could connect the dots!
A few hours later, Jacob finally received the information he was waiting for the Faery Humans of Cardinal Spirit Temple!
Although Zoe couldn't find much because of her limited influence, it was still more than the information publicly available and the information he found from Captain Free Sword.
According to the information, the Faery Humans were the founders of the Cardinal Spirit Temple. The Faery Human race was known for their innate talent for the Light Elent, proficiency in healing arts, and holy magic.
But strangely, there was no information about their holy magic as no one had ever seen a Faery Human fight because they had Holy Spirit Knight Division, the special fighting force of the temple filled with different races and that division was also very mysterious, and their strength was unknown since they always live within the territory of Cardinal Spirit Temple.
But one thing was clear about them: no one was ever able to breach the Cardinal Spirit Temple defenses, and anyone who ever attacked them vanished without a trace.
The Cardinal Spirit Temple followed the faith of the Holy Justice God, and they had unknown numbers of believers all over the unique plains. The true ruling class of the Cardinal Spirit Temple were all Faery Humans.
They were divided into Holy Ranks, the lowest rank Devotees, and almost all the lower-ranking Faeries were of this rank. Followed by the rank of Deacon, this rank was given to the Epic Rank mbers of Faery Humans.
Then the Priest and this rank are only given to at least Tier-1-
Unique Rank mbers. Then ca the High Priest, and there were only 13 high priests whose powers were rumored to be far greater than the unique rank no one truly knew.
The second-highest rank was the Bishop, and there were only four known mbers of the Faery Human race of this rank, and they all belonged to the main family of the Faery Humans, the Edgar Family.
Finally, the leader of the Cardinal Spirit Temple and the person with the highest authority, the Holy Pontiff (Pope), Sebastian Edgar, is a legendary figure on the sa level as the leaders of factions.
Furthermore, there was also an unranked rank among the Faery Humans, the Holy Children. They were the future successors of the Holy Pontiff position, and there was no information about their numbers.
The only known thing was that these Holy Children were the most talented youths of the Faery Human Race and were selected through a very strict trial. But no one has ever seen one.
However, according to the information, it was known that the Holy Child had the sa authority as a Bishop.
Lastly, what truly draws Jacob's attention is an event that took place around 35 years ago when a Holy Child seed to have been kidnapped.
It was a huge event that caused a storm within the temple's territory, and almost the entire unique plains were turned upside down in search of this Holy Child, who had gone for five years.
But in the end, that Holy Child was proclaid dead, and the search finally stopped. This was the only major event that happened within the history of the Cardinal Spirit Temple, while others were not as grand as this.
'35 years ago? But I've only co to this world around 24 years ago. However, if it includes the ti of traveling all the way back to the common plains, then it matches perfectly.
'I need more investigation in this matter of missing holy child before I reach the conclusion. But there is a 50% chance that this body was the holy child's. But what is more important is there is no information about the Faery using any optical skills or having any traits matching with the Eyes of Judge. What a fucking ss…'
Jacob sighed as he got closer to his body's origin, knowing this would not be a pretty story!
