Second World

"With how desperate things are, shouldn't your mother just accept my offer for help?" Jack said.

"As I said, my mother is especially stubborn," Aldryth replied.

Jack was exasperated hearing that.

"Is there truly no way…?" Jack asked.

"I'm very happy about your enthusiasm to help us defend this invasion. I will try to talk with my mother again. But before she agreed to it, please don't do anything rash, either you or your army."

Jack's enthusiasm was due to the worry of Liguritudum becoming stronger after defeating Hydrurond. But if that happened, he would just go along with John's plan to attack after Hydrurond lost and before the enemy could recuperate.

Since there was nothing more he could do to change the queen's mind, Jack excused himself. "Thank you, princess. If you have good news, please ask Arthur to send me a message."

"What will you do now?" Arthur asked.

"Since my army can't help. I will go and aid my guild mates in whatever way I can in the war," Jack answered.

"It is dangerous for you to show yourself without an army in the war," Aldryth said.

"I will be using my disguise," Jack said.

"I still don't think it is a good idea, but thank you for your help."

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ "If only you are the queen. Our two countries will have been able to cooperate to fight against this invasion."

Aldryth again only replied with a smile.

When Jack was about to leave, Arthur said to Aldryth, "Your Highness, I will go with him."

Jack looked back with a surprised expression.

Seeing Jack's questioning glance, Arthur said, "My old bones are getting itchy for staying idle for too long. Seeing a youngster's burning desire for action, I can't help but get fired up as well."

"You are never my subject, Sir Arthur. You are free to do what you want," Aldryth answered. "I'll pray for both of your safety."

"Thank you, Your Highness. I will take my leave now," Arthur followed Jack out. He then told Jack, "I don't really understand warfare well, so I will just follow where you go."

"I'm happy for your companion," Jack uttered. "First, you need to go to take the War Summon Quest first, so you don't do this for free. Since you don't have a guild, we will go to the Adventurers Association for the quest."

"You will take the quest as well?" Arthur asked.

"My guild had taken the quest. I am included as long as I am a member," Jack answered.

Arthur knew the capital better, so he took Jack to the Adventurers Association. There, Jack took over and guided Arthur through the process. While Arthur was being processed to be a member, Jack also took the chance to cash in the many non-faction quests he had completed in the past.

It had been a long time since Jack came to the association, so he had quite some quests to submit, Escape the Lost Forest, Dragon Form Trial, and several others. Even though many of the quests were high difficulty, they were not formal association quests, so the adventurer points granted were halved.

From all the quest completions he submitted, he gained 65,000 adventurer points. His adventurer points were now 87,504. It was still a long way from the required one million points to become a diamond rank, but he didn't fuss about it.

He was no longer interested in climbing the rank of this association. He would have to spend a lot of time doing the association quests if he did, and he didn't have the time for them. He bet by now, lots of the members in this association already had adventurer points closer to the diamond rank than him. Perhaps there were even some players who had already reached that rank.

He checked the exclusive exchange list for the gold hall. As expected, all four exclusive items had been snatched.

Since he was no longer interested in climbing the rank, there was no need for him to save the adventurer points. He looked around at the available items on the general exchange list. Most items didn't catch his interest. The highest grade was super rare.

Jack spent 70,000 adventurer points to get a super rare grade mount, which was a silver horse with a blue mane. He needed this steed for his current affair.

After Arthur completed the process of becoming the association's member and accepted the war summon quest, the two went to the zone portal and traveled to the city nearest to the battlefield in the north.

Outside that city, Jack asked Arthur to wait while he worked on the process of recruiting his ethereal disguise into Everlasting Heavenly Legends.

As Princess Aldryth pointed out, it was better if he didn't show up on the battlefield using his real identity. World Maker should already know about his mage disguise due to their ties to Death Associates. As for his orc disguise, after what happened with Long, World Maker would soon hear of it as well. That left his last disguise. The one with the ethereal race, Master Slayer.

During wartime, all races of the opposing side were temporarily banned. If he walked around the city as an ethereal, he would be kicked out, or worse, captured. But on the field, as long as he was a member of the guild joining Hydrurond's side, he won't be considered hostile by Hydrurond's natives. Just like how Life Runner stayed with Themisphere's army during Verremor's invasion war even when he was an orc.

"How many disguises do you have actually?" Arthur said.

"Three," Jack answered honestly. He equipped a super rare sword for his off-hand sword. He couldn't use a magic staff unless he wanted this last disguise to get blown as well.

"All right. Let us go hunt some Liguritudum or Aurebor's soldiers," Jack said.

Jack summoned the super rare grade silver horse that he had just exchanged. He couldn't just travel around with Pandora if he wanted to keep his cover, thus the need for this steed.

Arthur's steed was also a super-rare-grade horse. After the two checked their map for the location of the battlefield, the two galloped in that direction.
