Chapter 627 The Banquet of Dark Marquis (3)
After the banquet, Fulwood kept Jacob back while dismissing everyone else under the pretext of discussing the star hackers' matter with him.
The Dark Earls didn't tarry and bid Jacob farewell; some even invited him to their own estate, especially an only female Giant among the Earls. She seemed overly passionate and gave Jacob a luscious smile before she left.
Jacob didn't react much as he humbly thanked everyone and promised to visit whenever he had the chance. The source of this content no/v(el)bi((n))
After everyone left, Fulwood led Jacob into a beautiful garden behind the mansion. There was a small pound glowing under the moonlight and a small pavilion with a table and chairs.
"What do you think about this place? I've personally nurtured these plants, as they help me not only calm my mind but also cultivate my race's power.
"You see, we Spirit Trees are the only race in the unique plains with the highest affinity with the wood element. Once we approach unique rank, our wood element even contains a sliver of life, one of the most sacred elements in the Zodiac Plains." Fulwood proudly stated while leading Jacob inside the pavilion, and they both sat around the table.
Then Fulwood took out a beautiful emerald bottle and two glasses before he poured the liquid in them. A starry green liquid poured into the glasses, and there seemed to be countless glitters in the liquid. A powerful scent of nature filled the air.
Jacob's eyes contorted when he took a whiff of that mind-soothing scent because he suddenly felt the same sensation from this liquid that he felt whenever Nyx integrated soul vitality into his soul. Although it was far vaguer, he knew he wasn't wrong.
'A soul-type medicine?!' Jacob's heart raced slightly as he looked at the small, exquisite emerald bottle in Fulwood's hand, shaped like a pine cone. It could hold around 500ml of liquid, and it seemed more than half full.
"This liquid?" Jacob had to ask while he kept his wild desire in check.
"Haha, you are indeed smart, Jack. I'll be blunt then: the reason I've told you about my race and show you this Spirit Tree Nectar is simple, and what I'm about to ask of you is also the will of the Dark Duke, my father, and also the Patriarch of the Spirit Tree Race." Fulwood solemnly stated, "I'm inviting you to join our Spirit Tree Race by changing your bloodline and marrying my niece Zoe!"
Jacob was startled a little when he heard this unexpected invitation. He could still make some sense with the second part, but the bloodline-changing demand really stumped him.
Although he knew the bloodline evaluation was a possibility in the higher plains, he had never heard about an entire bloodline change.
"I'm sorry, but I don't understand. By bloodline change, do you mean to say you have the means to make me a Spirit Tree Race Member?" Jacob asked with narrowed eyes.
Fulwood nodded solemnly, "Indeed, but this is only achievable with my Father's help. You have to endure excruciating pain to change your bloodline completely, and you need to acquire the purity of a Spirit Tree descendant with excellent bloodline density. My niece Zoe is perfect.
"However, once you succeed, you will acquire a far stronger bloodline than yours, and most importantly, you'll be part of the Spirit Tree Race. Your future prospects will be limitless!
"This kind of offer only appeared once in a blue moon, and my father has a very favorable impression of it; if you agree, then you can leave for the Dark Kingdom tomorrow, and you will not have to worry about the Star Hackers ever again."
Fulwood's words were filled with temptation and made sense. If it were someone else, they would've agreed in a heartbeat since the Spirit Tree Race was one of the ruling races of the Unique Plains.
But Jacob sensed consOriginal behind it, and even if there weren't, he would never change into any bloodline, even if it was from a dragon. After all, the cursed bloodline was mandatory in his path of immortality!
Jacob impassively replied, "Forgive me, Your Highness, but I must refuse, and it's time for me to leave. Thank you for your hospitality and this generous offer!"
