Cursed Immortality-Novel

Just as Jacob thought, three of the bags were filled with tranquilizer shots, and they were a total of 120 shots, and he mused one shot would last for 8 or 10 hours because only with this ration one could reach the lionheart city with this much supply.

Two of them were filled with dry meat and water.

While the last three were probably the personal belonging of those three hob trolls.

He found, a total of 143 bullets for all the firearms, three mercenary IDs which were affiliated with the Earthen Kingdom, nothing to surprise about. Three long knives, 433 bronze coins, 303 silver coins, and 105 gold coins.

Lastly, he found an unopened envelope with a sword stabbed into a human skull insignia imprinted on the back.

'Interesting.' Jacob opened the envelope.

But he frowned when he saw the letter inside was filled with symbols, and nothing make sense.

'An encrypted letter? There's a conspiracy behind this, and they are superb at hiding their tracks. This letter was probably meant for someone important, and only they could decipher this letter. Or even if something happened just like now, this letter will be useless even if someone read it.' Jacob smiled and store the letter and envelope away.

Although he wasn't interested in the politics of this world, he was interested in information because nothing was set in stone, and he might need this information someday for his own use.

Afterward, he controlled the carriage and changed its route, and headed toward the Rain Town.

He was planning to hide this tiger bull in a remote region before he would quickly make a trip to his house and make an injection of heart essence and then absorbed it close to the carriage.

After he reached the ten percent mark, he would then slaughter this tiger bull and collect his heart and blood before devouring it for nutrition before coming back and continuing to create reaming injections.

Although his plan seemed flawless, nothing was flawless when nature was involved.

On the first night, the rain started to pour like mad and the carriage nearly turned upside down on a hill slope. If not for Jacob using his strength to keep it steady, he didn't dare to imagine what would've happened if that beast broke out of that cage.

Jacob had already examined that cage, and he even shot it with his rifle, but it didn't leave a scratch on it. This made him excited since he could use this cage to forge high-quality gun parts.

But he knew it was a pipe dream for now since it would take some time to set up a forgery and make the equipment he needed to work with. Furthermore, he didn't want to abandon this kind of lab in the future.

So, he was still hesitant to decide and leave that thought for the future, when he would be powerful enough to protect his things.

Anyhow, Jacob become more careful after that incident and his pace plummeted.

The travel that took him over ten days to reach that point, it took him a whole month just to reach the outskirts of the rainy mountain ranges, and he was still half a journey away from the rain town, only if he traveled alone at full speed.

Despite that, he wasn't planning to go there with this cage carriage, so he headed toward a remote area where he could hide this carriage.

He quickly found an old cave that was abandoned by some wild animals, and it was size-wise perfect, as well.

After taking care of the carriage, he first released those horses since he won't be needed them anymore and then break the wheels.

Now, even if someone found this cage, they won't be able to take it away, and they definitely won't be crazy enough to provoke that Tiger Bull unless they had a death wish.

After giving the Tiger Bull a large dosage of the tranquilizer, which was enough for two days, he hid the cave with a huge bolder and left toward the rain town, carrying those bags and guns on his shoulder.

Dawn was already breaking, so he entered the town without any hitch.

But he suddenly noticed the commotion on the streets and heard some bystanders talking about something interesting.

"I heard the Golden Claw Mercenary Team came back yesterday after they left for the wolf king's hunt with an enormous wolf king hunting party. But the thing is, they came back empty-handed, and it turned out someone else has already killed the wolf king, and they only found its bones and the agency refused to pay them without evidence of killing the wolf king!" A person gossiping in front of a butcher's shop.

"Heh, it's ancient history now. Just this morning, the Leader of Golden Claw Mercenary Team, Jonty, with the leaders of Sharp Sword Mercenary Team, and Purple Mercenary Team storm the gates of town lord mansion and demand the rewards.

"They accused the town lord of publishing a hoax mission and wasting their time. But the truth is the wolf hunting party they gathered is demanding compensation for wasting their time as well.

"So, they had no choice but to look for the town lord for payment, or they might go bankrupt this time. But seriously, just who killed the wolf king and left it to rote? That person might be a B Rank character and killed it when he was passing by.

"Now the whole town is talking about this." The butcher presumed.

Jacob smirked at hearing this and silently moved toward his house.

He wasn't worried that someone would find out about him since nothing could connect that corpse to him.

On the contrary, they might have found the bullet wounds on its skull, and the only one who was carrying this kind of bullet was none other than Gus's party.

So, this thing might come back to bite that sole witness and survival of this entire hunt, Jennifer!
