At night,
Jacob again sneaked out of the Rain Town and headed toward the cave, where he hid the cage carriage with Tiger Bull.
He had already made a heart essence injection from Hob Troll's heart and blood, and it was in his pendant right now.
However, when Jacob reached the hidden cave, his expression turned ashen because the boulder he used to close the entrance was now completely shattered apart as a huge bulldozer hit it.
He ran toward the cave and when he saw that one side of the cage was broke opened, he cursed out loud, "That damn bull escaped!"
Jacob couldn't help but doubt the tranquilizers because he clearly gave it an overdose, and it was enough to let it sleep for two or three days. But it didn't even last twenty hours.
He suddenly had a dangerous proposition about this as he thought with a grim expression, 'Could it be that bull fake its sleeping hours and when I finally drop my guard, it took advantage? I still underestimate a rare species like Tiger Bull in the end. Fuck!'
However, Jacob knew there wasn't any reason to cry over spilled milk anymore. He had already done his best and just miscalculated the intelligence of a rare species.
They adapt just too fast, and this was his first time experiencing this kind of defeat by an animal. Truth be told, it kind of hurt his pride.
Nevertheless, he wasn't overly worried because he knew that bull would wreak havoc soon, and it won't be too late when it got spotted. Or it won't be too late to hunt it down himself once he broke the 10% threshold.
He didn't mind hunting it down at that time, but now he was hesitating to inject this heart essence since he didn't know how much longer he had until he experienced that hunger attack.
To find that answer, he summoned Immortika and asked, "Can you tell me how long I can last without eating after crossing the 10% completion?"
However, as always, it didn't answer the question without its sarcasm. "Hahaha… that little bull really pull a fast one on you, didn't it? Well, don't worry, you won't experience a hunger attack for 3 months after every 10% completion, and that's only if you don't eat anything. So, go for it."
"Can't you just answer the damn question for once?" He rebuked and closed the book before it could say anything.
'I should head back and inject it when Pig Head is head around. It's not safe here anymore with that livestock on loss.' Jacob left the cave, but he didn't forget to take the broken cage with him.
Even the Tiger bull wasn't able to break this iron and only managed to break the bindings.
Furthermore, despite this cage size, its weight was extremely light, only 150 KG and, as for drawing attention, Jacob was confident in his speed. Even if someone spotted him, he could just say he was bringing it to raise livestock, which wasn't strange at all.
This time he wasn't stealthy because of the enormous cage, but the guard didn't stop him from bringing it in since it was empty.
But Jacob failed to notice just after he left that one guard quickly headed toward Lord Manor.
Jacob's appearance was quite eye-catching because of his bright silver hair, and everyone knows in the rain town that the new C-rank mercenary had silver hair and a handsome appearance.
Jacob reached Isaac Smithery and when Isaac noticed the iron used in that cage he nearly jumped in shock.
"Where did you find it?!" He exclaimed as if he was in a dream.
Jacob coolly answered, "Don't ask a meaningless question. Can you work with it or not?"
Isaac didn't ask again and thought for a moment as he shook his head with great regret, "I'm ashamed I can't craft it into those parts you ordered. If I'm not wrong, this is the famous Uncommon Grade Titan Iron of the Earthen Kingdom. It's not only extremely sturdy but lightweight.
"I don't know how you get your hands on it but just a gram of it worth, 10 Gold Coin, and here we have almost 200KG of pure Titan Iron. Which means almost 2 million gold coins!
"Only the Gun Smith Guild has this much Titan Iron in their possession, and only they can help you with it."
Jacob's eyes narrowed with a hint of disappointment, but he knew Isaac won't play tricks with him. As for those two million gold coins, he wasn't fazed by it at all. Money was the least bit of his worries right now.
Because he knew if he sold it to the agency, some people might take an unwanted interest in him or from where he got it from.
Jacob asked, "Then can you make two short swords and turn the rest into iron bricks of one KG each? You can have five bricks, and we'll consider our account close?"
Isaac's eyes brighten hearing this, he knew even if someone had money this Titan Iron wasn't easy to get and five kg of it was generous enough for someone like him who probably could never get into contact with this Titan Iron in his entire life.
He couldn't help but felt grateful to Jacob because, from the moment he met him, his skills improved tremendously. He was an honest man and an upright person. Furthermore, he wasn't greedy for momentary gains.
Additionally, he knew someone like him won't be able to survive with this much wealth, so it was enough to just have a good relationship with Jacob.
He replied, "I can do that. Your previous order would take three more weeks and included this order. Give me one more week."
Jacob shook his head. "I need those swords in two days. You can take your time with the rest. But don't show this to anyone, hide it. I don't want unnecessary attention, and it would also put your life in danger. I hope you understand."
Isaac thought for a moment and nodded solemnly. "Don't worry, I understand. You can collect your swords in two days!"
