Chapter 703 Holy Mountain Range
After his strange encounter with the wood elf and Elia, Jacob focused on his true target, the Cardinal Spirit Church. He was naturally here to investigate the Faery Humans and find some more clues about the Eyes of Judge. As for his body's background, he wasn't interested in it from the start.
After all, he was no longer a Faery Human and was becoming something else entirely. Although he was somewhat curious about his body's past at first, it no longer interested him; even if he found something, he wouldn't care.
Furthermore, the neutral plains were in the center of the conflict plains, so this was the perfect place to observe and lay in wait for what was about to come. However, he wasn't completely sure if the Ice Fiend Locust Queen even took this bait and attacked the conflict plains she couldn't send above the unique rank Ice Fiend Locusts.
Nonetheless, he was still hopeful and wanted her to take this bait and come here. As for going to the Dark City, he still didn't want to reveal the fact that he was back. If someone were on the lookout for him, many troubles would come that he didn't want to handle at that moment.
However, he didn't take the Dark Elf's disguise anymore, especially since he knew that the Wood Elf might not give up on finding his daughter so easily. He only showed him some kindness because he took his daughter and spared his life. But if he didn't know how to appreciate his kindness, he didn't mind getting rid of him for good.
But he knew once he fed the gluttony mask another race, that wood elf would never be able to find him again. As for sending Elia back, it would all depend on Immortika's evaluation and why she makes his hex core react this way.
Jacob had been scouting and observing the holy mountain gates for a few days now, and with Autarch's help, he had gathered quite a lot of information. So, now was the time to enter this so-called Holy Mountain Range ruled by the Faeries!
At night, when the Holy Mountain Gates were closed, and the people who were waiting were either asleep or doing something in their temporary lodgings, he found an alone monkey-faced orc and disguised himself as that orc.
Thereafter, in the guise of the orc, Jacob approached the colossal mountain gates without hesitation and then ordered Autarch, "Open the small gate!"
As if Autarch was waiting for his command, a few moments later, the small doors on the side suddenly opened, revealing a giant race guard. Some people who were still outside also noticed this, and they were shocked when they saw the small gate suddenly open at this hour, and then a cloaked figure entered through it!
This caused some small commotions since this had never happened before. However, Jacob didn't care at all since he couldn't just climb the walls because there were very powerful formations protecting them. Raising the alarm just to enter this place was not worth it, especially when he could easily get in without drawing the attention of the entire city.
The giant guard led Jacob inside a huge hallway within the wall. Even more giant race guards stood around this hall, but they didn't react to Jacob's presence at all, as if they didn't see him. It was naturally all Autarch's doing!
After Jacob crossed the hall, the giant guard opened another door. Behind it was a vast forest with many paved roads. Once Jacob crossed the gates, the door behind him was shut.

'So, this is the holy mountain range, huh? I can feel the mana is far denser than outside, and those trees are different from the trees outside. Well, it doesn't matter since I need to find another disguise to move around easier. frёewebnoѵēl.com
'Hmmm… the highest rank Faery Human here is the Priest, who is also the overseer of this place, and he has the strongest holy magic. Then there are the ranks of Deacon and Devotee. 'Only Faery Humans can claim these ranks, while the other races can only become 'believers' whose job is to do chores or serve the Faeries or 'Holy Spirit Knight,' like those guards who protect the Faeries.
Jacob's lips curled up in a cruel smile. He had already decided what he should do next, so he released the disguise, used his own power to enter stealth, and then headed toward the core of the Holy Mountain Range.
There were many abodes all over the Holy Mountain Range, some small and some large and grand. They all belonged to the Faeries, and many other people were here to heal. Jacob saw them kneeling outside some of the large abodes without moving. 'So, I need to be at least a Faery Human to move around freely, but why would I be satisfied with a Devotee rank Faery when I can just take over the Priest and do everything I want to.'
Jacob's lips curled up in a cruel smile. He had already decided what he should do next, so he released the disguise, used his own power to enter stealth, and then headed toward the core of the Holy Mountain Range.
There were many abodes all over the Holy Mountain Range, some small and some large and grand. They all belonged to the Faeries, and many other people were here to heal. Jacob saw them kneeling outside some of the large abodes without moving. Jacob also noticed that some races among these people were wearing completely white robes, and their faces were covered by transparent muslin. They were bringing those kneeling people inside the abodes while taking others out. They were the 'believers' who devoted their lives to the church and served the Faeries in the name of faith.
Jacob didn't know what kind of magic the Faeries had used to make them devote their lives to servitude like this, but he knew they were nothing less than fanatics when it came to serving the Holy Justice God.
Furthermore, the Faeries called themselves the holy race or children of the Holy Justice God, further evaluating their status in the minds of these people. Some of them were even fugitives who became believers to avoid their enemies, while some were the same people who had come here for healing once, and then they wanted to show their gratitude by serving the God who gave them another life and saved them from the torment.
As Jacob headed deeper, he started to see guards wearing white armor on patrol. The forest started to become clear, and many mountain peaks started to appear with adobes on them.
Furthermore, these adobes were like small castles, and those people who wanted to seek the help of the owner of these mountain abodes were kneeling all over these mountains. They were also wearing lavish clothing, and their ranks were even more powerful.
However, Jacob easily avoided them all since this wasn't his target. At this moment, he finally saw a huge mountain in the center of these small mountains. On top of this mountain was a huge, magnificent golden cathedral, shimmering under the starry sky like a godly palace.
Furthermore, the foot of the mountain was surrounded by high walls, and giant guards stood guard with solemn expressions. But there weren't any people here, or they simply didn't dare approach this place because of those guards.
Jacob's eyes lit up as he looked at the tall mountain and the cathedral on top. He knew what kind of place this was, and his eyes turned sharp, 'The Cardinal Spirit Church where the Priest lives!'
