'A Bigot Barbarian!'
Jacob wasn't ignorant about the species of the Rare Freedom Plains like he once was about the Common Plains.
He had remembered every intelligent and local species of Rare Freedom Plains. They were ample information on the star network.
He instantly recognized those unique racial features of the Barbarian Race, which were just below the Giants in comparison to their physical strength!
The Barbarian Race was born with monstrous strength like Giants but every barbarian was born with strange markings on their bodies that look like tattoos.
The Bigot Barbarians were a branch of the Barbarian Race and one of the few intelligent species present in the Rare Freedom Plains. Anyone could recognize them with bronze skin and blond hair, as well as their unusual heights and massive builds.
The Bigot Barbarian was a Rare-Tier-6 Species and fell in the category of Fighter type species with over 600-Ton physical strength.
From Rare Tiers, there were two different categories of species because not every rare tier species has such physical strength.
These two categories, the first one was Fighters who represent pure physical strengths
The physical strength measuring system for the Rare Fighter Tier Category was in tons.
Any species with at least a hundred tons of pure physical strength could be called a Rare-Tier-1 Fighter type species. With every 100+ tons, the tier increased all the way up to the Rare-Tier-9 with over 900 tons of strength.
The other categories were known as Wiser, and the strangest thing was there was no information on the Rare Wiser Tier Category at all, but just a name.
Jacob instantly guessed that it might have something to do with the elements or magic, Immortika told him about. Because for some reason there wasn't any information on element power, mana, or magic cores on the star network.
The only clue he had was this mysterious Wiser species.
Anyhow, Jacob can be considered a Rare-Tier-8 Fighter with over 800 tons of strength, and this Bigot Barbarian might not even take a punch from him.
A Rare-Tier-8 Fighter was so rare that Jacob had yet to find even one clue on them, or his star network was just too limited.
Still, this battleship was not going to be enough to stop him, but he didn't want to turn hostile, or if those over fifty cannons were fired at once, his precious black ship will be blasted into bits.
Although this ship also had an energy defensive barrier installed within, Jacob wasn't sure if it was enough to block so many cannons.
So, he thought for a moment, before he said while looking at the Bigot Barbarian, who was still waiting for his reply.
"I'm afraid I have none of those things you want because I'm a Star Oceanographer and Adventurer who likes to study and explore the mysteries of the Star Ocean. I think I wandered into the Golden Swords Country's territory unknowingly.
"I don't want any trouble, so I'm willing to pay any type of fine for breaking this law, and I'll leave immediately," Jacob stated.
There were many star oceanographers out there who like to explore, so his reason wasn't a complete lie.
However, the Bigot Barbarian wasn't a fool as he coldly uttered, "I don't care who you are or what your reason is for wandering in Golden Swords Country's territory. Either you accept the detention peacefully, or I'll happily send you permanently inside the ocean and let you explore the ocean forever."
Jacob deeply looked at the Bigot Barbarian, who was also staring back at him with cold eyes.
Jacob's eyes suddenly become emotionless before he vanished from his spot with a blur under Bigot Barbarian's flabbergasted expression.
"Where did he go?" He was shocked because he couldn't even see the man's movement at all.
"I'm here." An icy voice sounded from behind, making Bigot Barbarian startlingly turn around.
There were other people in the same navy-blue uniform on the deck as well, and all of them were gobsmacked by how this man appeared on the deck like a ghost.
"Still want to do this? I don't want any trouble, and we can all be on our way." This time Jacob's words were more like a threat than a persuasion.
Since he was already on the other party's ship, he had already decided to kill them all if they still did not back down, even after seeing his capability and continued being ignorant.
But killing them might set some kind of alarm, or if they were not returned within a set period of time, more ships might come searching for them. Jacob was still far from the shore so he didn't want to fight with fleets and become an enemy of Golden Swords Country.
Since even a scouting or patrolling ship had a Bigot Barbarian instated, then they clearly weren't a pushover.
"Interesting. A Skull hesitated to kill while he had the chance? You're not from the Killer Skull Society, are you?" At this moment, a mellow aged voice rang from behind Jacob.
Jacob's expression turned serious when he heard this voice and looked back.
He saw another Bigot Barbarian, but he was 3.4 meters tall and had a wizened face. His blue eyes were without any fear or agitation as he faced Jacob. On the contrary, he seemed to … glad.
Jacob instantly felt amiss when he heard the work skull and the old Bigot Barbarian's smile. He didn't know why he said those words or why he wasn't afraid of him, but he sensed no hostility from him.
So, he decided to reply, "No, I'm not a Skull if that's what you think."
The old Bigot Barbarian's smilingly replied, "Care to explain how that stolen Black Ship by the Killer Skull Society's Earth Slayer came into your possession?"
Jacob's heart turned cold when he heard A-995's Star Network's ID, 'They knew, but how?!'
The old Bigot Barbarian's smile widened when he noticed some ripples in Jacob's cold eyes. He coolly said, "You're an ascetic expert, right?"
"Why do you think that?"
Jacob had many questions now, and he was feeling on edge because they all knew about the black ship background, and from his old man's tone, he could tell they might be specifically here because of the black ship.
Then this also means they came prepared!
"Hehe, it's because you're traveling with a stolen good without even knowing it was stolen, which could only mean you're not registered with any Private Star Servers of four powers.
"Neither you have a permit for that black ship, or you seem to know just how expensive and hard to get that ship from Black Sea Company. Furthermore, you do not know that the Black Sea Company can easily track down that black ship without the help of a stealth guard.
"A Skull would never make such a rookie mistake. So, that guy met with the misfortune to encounter you." The old Bigot Barbarian explained without hiding anything, and the smile on his face never faded.
"Lastly, you have prowess above tier-6 fighter and still have no idea what kind of naval force Golden Swords Country had and still dared to resist the detention in the middle of star ocean.
"Unless you're overly confident that you could swim all the way back, or you're an ascetic or an aboriginal who lived on some island and came all the way here after encountering an idiot skull.
"And I'm willing to wager that you're the second case because you don't even know that the ID we were asking for was your Star Watch's ID. And I don't believe you didn't have a star watch since that black ship won't work without it.
"So, tell me Stranger, who are you?" The old Bigot Barbarian questioned again with a smile.
Jacob again fell silent because he did not know that there was such a thing, and it also appeared that he was still ignorant about the customs of Rare Freedom Plains.
He also got to know the Star Network's importance and why his Private Star Servers were empty. It might be where the true function of the star network lies.
But right now, he had to find a way out of this mess because the other party seemed to be quite confident in handling him.
The old Bigot Barbarian spoke again as his smile vanished. "Let me suggest something?"
"What might that be?" Jacob questioned, but was quite interested in this old Bigot Barbarian since he was so calm about the situation and almost told him every flaw he had.
"As long as you show me your Star Network ID and your Private Star Servers, if it is empty and you're really what I just said you are, I'll let you join the ranks of our Golden Swords Country.
"We always welcome new experts like you and will not mistreat you. On the contrary, you'll get a huge reward for 'finding' that missing black ship from the Black Sea Company as long as we told them that 'our personal' found it and was just on his way to submit it.
"From then on, you'll be a member of Golden Swords Country. What do you think?" The Old Bigot Barbarian solemnly expressed!
