384 Tralons Opinion on Life or Death (1/2)

”Sorry about that,” Jack walked back to his wives while explaining himself to the room. ”Me and Daruun had one last chat before he left. Which reminds me…”

Taking out the ring Sterfen had given him long ago, Jack looked to Maura and Daliea. ”You two, hold out your hands with your storage rings.”

As they did so, they soon found a vast amount of spellbooks being poured into their storages.

”Jack, you don't have to--”

”Daliea, calm down. Consider this your duty as my wife,” Jack stated. ”I'll always try to protect you, but we'll be facing gods. There's no telling what might come our way, so the least I can do is offer you these. This is one way that I can help protect you, okay?”

”... Okay.” Daliea wasn't well accustomed to receiving such a plethora of gifts or so much help from other people. It was a new experience but she felt good about it, albeit a little awkward to respond to.

”That goes for you too, Maura. Learn all these spells, even the legendary ones,” added Jack. ”You'll have to be very careful managing your mana, but it's better to have them just in case. Since your lv. 40 now, you should be fine to use a mythic-tier spell if the need arises.”

”And what about me?” Eliza asked, smiling at Jack.

Jack sighed. ”Sadly, I don't have much at the moment, but I can get you a legendary blessing and a couple of mythic spells from the storehouse. Will that be enough for now?”

”That's more than enough,” Eliza replied. She held her hand out as well, but she pulled Jack in for a quick kiss before he could transfer a couple of mythic spells. When she broke the kiss, Eliza added, ”Just don't forget any of us. I get traveling when necessary, but you have to promise to treat us all equally. And no more wives, either!”

Laughing, Jack held up his arm to the square. ”I promise, no more wives. You three are already too much for me to handle, so having more is out of the question.”

Taking the two mythic-tier spells and a handful of peak-tier spells, Eliza then asked, ”So, what do we do now?”

”Well…” Jack sighed, looking around the room with a slight tinge of pink in his cheeks. ”I'll be leaving to raid a few ancient tombs and then I'll go visit Dragas with Eliza, but I want to talk with Tralon in private first. Then, I'll talk with everyone about what the guild will be planning next.”

”We'll be waiting outside,” Hadurt commented, throwing his arm around Lorwynn and dragging Lorwynn out the door.

The others did the same, leaving Jack and Tralon inside to talk alone. And with the special bookcases that auto-cast Silence, they never had to worry if someone outside could listen in on the conversation.

Jack hesitated to reply at first, but Jack answered Tralon with a question. ”Did Daruun tell you about the two major paths we could focus on?”

”No, I'm not sure what those two paths are.”

”Then… let me explain them. I want your honest opinion on these two paths and your personal feelings as well. Okay?”
