BXBX NOVEL Chapter 137 A Secret (1)
He didn\'t even let King Philip hear it, so it naturally drew others\' attention.
Jacob looked at the top members of three organizations and coolly asked, "Before I start, can I ask why the three of you wanted to visit me together? I can understand the mercenary agency and gunsmith guild, but what about the Apothecary Guild? I had no ties with them."
Jacob looked at ebony face man who looked ordinary and calm, but he was actually the Miracle Hands, Blake, the top Apothecary of the Humane Kingdom, and beside him was a middle age man with noble bearing, he was the vice leader of the Apothecary Guild Dylan.
Blake had observed Jacob\'s conversation with Philip and knew how hard it was to deal with Philip, but even that man seemed helpless against him and could only give up.
Nevertheless, Philip got what he wanted, and there was no need for him to push Jacob around. All he wanted was authority over the Humane Kingdom, and since Jacob wasn\'t interested, he had no reason to make an enemy of Jacob.
As Jacob said, this place was like the countryside to him, and he would leave when the time comes, and everyone believed him.
Blake smiled politely and said, "I\'m Blake. Your excellency is far more extraordinary than the rumors describe you to be. I also didn\'t enjoy beating around the bush, nor do I know how. I\'m just a public servant and here, for this exact matter, which will increase the variety of our servers.
"My two fellow associates from the Gunsmith Guild and Star Mercenary Agency might have the same purpose as me."
Blake suddenly looked toward the tall, middle-aged man with a handsome appearance, wearing light black armor. He was Loop, the mercenary agency leader, and then Isham, who was an old man with bronze skin and white hair.
Blake smiled meaningfully at them, which made both of them glare at him.
This revelation did not surprise Jacob, and neither was Galant, who was silently watching.
Since Loop and Isham didn\'t retort to Blake\'s claim, he continued, "Your excellency, the thing is since you\'re the first A-Rank Mercenary among the humans, this signifies something extraordinary for the entire human society."
"Oh? I\'m listening." Jacob was slightly intrigued.
Blake nodded and spoke, "As you may know, Humans are known for being an uncommon species since we originate from an uncommon region. But this is not our actual rank, or more clearly, this rank is not perpetual."
Jacob\'s eyes narrowed when he comprehended the hidden meaning behind Blake\'s words. "You mean the uncommon rank is like a price tag that can be changed by the quality of the goods at any time? But who put this price tag or put it simply, who decided the rank of the human species?"
Jacob clearly had no idea about how a species\' rank was decided and after he found out about the bloodline limit break, this also means a species\' rank wasn\'t permanent. They can evolve with limit breaks, and the titan tears\' existence was proof of this.
Meanwhile, the twelve common tiers and nine rare tiers sound more like some level system than species classification.
It would be more accurate to say that beings were divided into levels with countless possibilities to reach a higher level. As for the threshold of these levels, it might be the real scale to separate species.
Nevertheless, it was still unclear, and Jacob wasn\'t strong enough to know about these levels yet. As Immortika said, with his meager strength, it won\'t make any difference, even if Jacob had all the knowledge of this world.
pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ But what Blake just said also straightened his theory about the levels of individuals and that nothing was permanent besides one\'s own limit.
Blake couldn\'t help smiling profoundly when he heard Jacob putting a complicated thing in such a simple way. He nodded. "As his excellency just said, it\'s a mere tag that can be changed by the quality at any time.
"But it\'s not so simple either. We were given an uncommon title when we joined the ranks of intelligent species. Although even those mindless animals also have the uncommon tag, as an intelligent species we have the right to change it as long as we complete some certain conditions."
At this time, Loop spoke, "Guild Leader Blake, as always, left some important details. Let me fill them up to make it easy to understand."
Blake merely glanced at Loop but didn\'t stop him.
Loop also won\'t let Blake stool the limelight and quickly say, "The uncommon species rank was given to humans on the base we can only remain in uncommon ranks.
"To gain this rank, we have to show our ability to adapt and prove that we were worthy of this rank. But even that wasn\'t enough unless we could draw the attention of someone with the power to give us this rank.
"More than a hundred years ago, when we were hunted down by the goblins and trolls like livestock and still live in rural tribes, we didn\'t just acquire the kingdom title of our own. But with someone\'s help, who happened to be the person who had the authority to grant us the uncommon rank!" Loop stated mysteriously.
Jacob\'s eyes narrowed slightly. \'It seemed I was right about humans having the protection of someone from the upper regions, or those trolls and goblins won\'t let them establish their kingdom so easily and then let them grow.
\'This might be the biggest secret of the Humane Kingdom, and even the killer skull society might didn\'t know about it, and if they continue to push them around in that war…\'
Galant coldly spoke at this moment while meaningfully looking at Jacob, "I think you have already guessed it!"
