Chapter 2758 Teleportation
After chatting with them, Jared learned that they had started their career as robbers after learning how to teleport in an ancient ruin by accident.
However, that particular teleportation technique had a limited range of tens of meters, which was how they escaped Jared’s arcane array earlier. They started by using their energy to open a small hole in the arcane array. Once the space inside and outside of it were connected, they could then escape via teleportation.
Jared had an epiphany upon hearing their story. He had thought that the Three Bandits were formidable opponents, not expecting them to be using teleportation instead.
Nevertheless, he admitted that it was a good technique, albeit with limited range. The technique was similar to Skylar’s Necro Ring, which was a magical item that allowed its user to teleport hundreds of meters away. Unfortunately, it had broken after several uses after it was damaged.
“Since you agreed to obey me, hand over your bodily spirit to prove your loyalty!” Jared ordered the trio.
“Um…”
The mere mention of handing over their bodily spirits triggered a sense of hesitation among the three brothers. After all, doing so was the equivalent of handing their lives over to Jared.
However, their pause triggered a snort from Jared. “If you refuse to do so, I’ll take your lives instead. But don’t you worry, I’ll only kill you and not destroy your soul remnants. Who knows, you might get lucky and be resurrected sometime in the future.”
Just as he was about to take action, the Three Bandits were cowed into submission by his words. “Sir, spare us… We’ll do as you say… We’ll hand them over.”
With that, the trio forced out their bodily spirits from within their bodies. After storing their bodily spirits, Jared tore off the trio’s masks with another wave of his hand.
“Now that you’re serving me, you have to stop committing petty crimes. Just let me know if there’s anything you need,” Jared said to them. “All right. You’re the boss going forward. We’ll listen to everything you say,” Crixus answered quickly.
No sooner had he spoken than a rumbling sound echoed from their stomachs. It was obvious that the three of them hadn’t eaten yet. Therefore, Jared took them to a luxurious hotel and treated them to a feast.
Upon further interaction, the Three Bandits learned of Viola’s identity. Emerald Cauldron Sect was famous in the area, and they were surprised that she was actually the lord of the sect. The trio immediately felt as if they had struck the lottery in being able to secure such a powerful patron.
After the meal, Jared and his companions walked toward the square where the airship was parked, as it was time for it to leave.
Now that the Three Bandits were serving Jared, they naturally joined him on his journey to Jipsdale. After all, getting a few more tickets for them didn’t cost much at all. In fact, it was peanuts to someone as rich as Viola.
Ghaylen and Yuven were already waiting on the airship. When they came forward to greet Jared and Viola, they were stunned by the sight of the Three Bandits.
After Jared introduced everyone, Ghaylen got three more tickets for the trio before all of them boarded the airship.
The airship was massive and measured over a hundred meters in length. It also had an expansive cabin with a comfortable interior.
Furthermore, the airship was filled with members of Stellaris Sect working as service staff. As the sect depended on airships for their income, they naturally tried to provide the best experience possible.
The Three Bandits were visibly excited as this was their first time flying in an airship. In contrast to them, Jared wore a grim look on his face as he formulated a plan to rescue the three wyverns.
Taking in Jared’s expression and cognizant of what was on his mind, Yuven suggested, “Mr. Chance, now that we’re within Stellaris Sect, it would be extremely difficult to save the three wyverns. A better option would be to rescue them halfway through the journey. However, there’s a risk that the airship’s passengers might object to your actions and potentially attack you.”
