Chapter 2496 Jembei's Council
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
The moment he found himself face to face with Minos, remembering his death and feeling that there was nothing he could do against this human, Jembei laughed bitterly."It seems that I made a mistake with my plans... I just didn't expect that one of my own would still be here. Looks like you chickened out, Sender." Jembei commented as he looked at the individual weakened by Minos' powers.
Sender said nothing. There was no point in arguing with a corpse. Jembei was dead, under Minos' control, and as soon as the effects of Abby and Minos' abilities wore off, Jembei would disappear.
"Now that you're among us, I hope I can count on your support in dealing with the enemies. Is there anything you can tell me now to help me deal with the General you left behind to kill me?" Minos asked.
Being under Minos' control, Jembei could never refuse to answer his new master. He quickly said what he had to. "I don't know how far your powers can go, but dealing with Artaud won't be easy.
Perhaps the use of Sender, your innate ability and all those corpses will help you a little. But I doubt it will be enough to kill him and make sure you at least escape. To defeat him, you need stronger help than you already have, or a level up. Anything else won't work."
"I agree." Sender said.
Minos sighed and then, with a wave of his hand, Jembei joined the other corpses stored in his special urn, where he could wait for the call of his masters.
Minos placed the six new coffins at the edge of the cave before picking up the eggs he had obtained in the Magma Barrens.
"Hollie, come here. Pick one of these three for yourself." He motioned to his youngest daughter.
Hollie's eyes lit up as the others realized these eggs were of great value.
"This is some kind of ancient beast egg. I don't know what will happen in the future. It could become an ingredient for pills or potions, or even give birth to a beast. Take good care of it and use it to your advantage."
Hollie thanked her father by choosing the egg she found most interesting.
Determined to give the other two eggs to his other two children who were in Zocarro, Minos took the essences with him before turning and leaving the cave.
"Go back to what you should do if I'm were not here. I'll take care of some business before I watch Kendrick's fight." Ruth and Sender followed him, while the others either stayed behind or left the cave to attend to their guild business.
...
After leaving their faction's cave, Minos and Ruth followed Sender's instructions.
This man had promised to introduce his master to contacts he had in the inner city, and since Minos had to prepare for a deadly battle in no time, he quickly made use of his slave's contacts.
After 15 minutes, they were in a commercial area of the guild's inner area while Sender explained who they would meet first.
Any contacts Sender would introduce to Minos would obviously have to be non-members of the Jade Chainsaws faction. Although Sender knew more faction members than members of other groups or even neutral guild members, he had enough names to spend at least an afternoon trying to negotiate alongside his master.
As a level 113 Sovereign who had been in the guild for over a thousand years, Sender had made many contacts over the years, old rivals or even companions with whom he had carried out missions together.
"Master, Segiel is the one I believe is the best companion for you to bring to your side. She is a Morgen, a water spirit, with a cultivation similar to mine, but much more relevant than me.
She doesn't belong to any faction. Yet, she is a member of the Armhands for over 2,000 years. She is very close to one of the Elders of the guild. Of all the people who want to be the guild's next Chief Commander, she is one of the favorites in the competition.
Jembei has a good chance because of the influence of the Jade Chainsaws and his ability to make deals and gain the cooperation of the right people. But Segiel is different. She doesn't have many supporters, but her big backer can move even the current Chief Commander!
I can't promise you that winning her alliance will guarantee you the support of the Elder, but having someone with such contacts on your side has many advantages".
"She's close to an Elder? How is that possible?" Ruth asked curiously.
"They say she's from the same world as the Elder." Sender commented. "Maybe that's why. But regardless of how, it's a fact that Segiel is often seen entering the Guild Council and has met this level 120 Elder several times."
"Level 120?" Minos swallowed his saliva after hearing those impressive words.
Sender smiled in confirmation. "All the elders in the guild are stronger than the Chief Commander. They all have cultivation beyond level 117."
"How does one become an Elder?" Ruth asked. "There are only 10 seats in the guild's Elders Council. Unless one of those seats opens up, there's no way for a new member to become an elder. However, when a vacancy occurs, the Chief Commander has the option of giving the seat to one of the Generals, or they can become an Elder and leave their seat vacant.
Supposedly, one of the Council Elders is at the end of his life after living for over a million years. If he doesn't enter the Upper Realm in the next few centuries, he will die. That's why several high-ranking Sovereigns are already preparing for the opportunity to become the next Chief Commander of the guild, as well as the next General."
This was one of the main reasons Minos suffered so much upon his return.
Jembei, as well as others who were left alive to harass him, wanted to grow and become more influential in order to take advantage of the death or ascension of the eldest member of the Guild Council!
