?There were two types of Zodiac Oath Contracts: the virtual one and the physical one.
The virtual Zodiac Oath Contracts were more common, and as long as someone had at least a 2-star star privilege, they could buy it directly from the star network, and each cost 100 million ZC.
As for the physical Zodiac Oath Contracts, they were rare because only Champion Shops could produce them, and their prices were also higher than the virtual ones, 150 million ZC each. But their effects were the same nonetheless.
After his encounter with Nelsen, Jacob brought five virtual and three physical Zodiac Oath Contracts for himself.
Now that Jacob has plundered Captain Free Sword's everything, his advanced unique rank star watch wasn't an exception, and he claimed it for himself as it was more advanced than the epic one.
Furthermore, he didn't dare to let Captain Free Sword use a star watch since that guy might sneakily do something, so Jacob took out a physical Zodiac Oath Contract.
Looking at the translucent blue sheet with white rune writing before him, Captain Free Sword was even more shocked since he knew just how rare these physical Zodiac Oath Contracts were.
One of the reasons they were rare was because the parties involved needed to drip their blood on them to bind the oath, and there was no need to say, 'In the name of Zodiac, I hereby acknowledge this Oath' as well.
These contracts were so miraculous that if someone weren't willingly dripping this blood on it, the contract wouldn't activate no matter what.
Furthermore, to write on them, one needs magic energy and knowledge of magic rune language.
The terms of the contract were very simple: as long as Captain Free Sword told the truth without hiding anything or omitting any details, Jacob would not kill him as long as Captain Free Sword wouldn't scheme or betray him.
Jacob has already dripped his blood on the contract, and all left is Captain Free Sword to do the same.
Captain Free Sword didn't expect Jacob to agree to this so quickly, but he didn't dare to miss this chance to preserve his life and instantly sweep blood from his chest and place it on the translucent sheet.
The very next moment, the contract turned into two streaks of blue lights and penetrated into both of their hearts.
But like before, the moment the contract tried to attach itself to Jacob's heart, his heart beat powerfully, and that feeling of something gripping his heart shattered.
Jacob hides his mocking expression, looking at the ecstatic Captain Free Sword. He was probably thinking that he was now fully safe.
"Now go on," Jacob said impassively.
Captain Free Sword no longer hesitates and reveals, "The Unique Plains Trial has been active for over 800 years now, and to this day, only one shackle has been broken by the Dark Beings.
"The Life Faction is furiously trying to do the same and leveling the field. They were even recruiting independent experts for the sake of it. I'm a 3-Star Criminal, so stepping on the Unique Plains will alert many authorities.
"But I have an Offender Ring, another product of the Star Hackers, which will allow anyone below 4-Star Criminal to hide from the scrutiny of the SAAI. So I can enter the unique plains without incurring another's attention.
"Since they were letting people enter the Unique Plains Trial, I also wanted to go because the trial this time was Kingdom Type. Sir should know that a kingdom-type trial is where an entire Kingdom exists in a trial or even more.
"The Kingdom-type trials are very difficult as well, as they contain far more opportunities than any other type of trial because there are living civilizations with different power systems than us. Sometimes, they also have different types of treasures and extinct materials, lost technology, and miraculous medicines.
"That's why whenever a kingdom-type trial occurred, both life and dead factions would go crazy, and they do everything to plunder from the kingdom while searching for shackles.
"I even heard a story that the last time when a kingdom type trial appeared, it lasted for ten thousand years because it was filled with rare precious minerals lodes. So, both sides signed an agreement that no one would fight for shackles until the life faction extracted those lodes, and they would let the dark beings kill the natives of the trial without interfering.
"This time was probably the same, as the life faction needed as much manpower as they could muster up. I wanted to try my luck as well. So, when I entered the Unique Plains Trial with the help of an associate, I was teleported into a hall that was filled with murals." At this point, Captain Free Sword's eyes were filled with emotions.
Even Jacob was startled when he heard about this trial plains of kingdom type. His knowledge related to the trials was extremely limited, and Immortika only revealed limited knowledge suitable for his circumstances.
Now that he has heard about this kingdom-type trial, he is quite shocked since he doesn't think there will be an entire civilization in the trial plains and can't help but think about Nyx.
According to her, she was put on trial, not born there, which clearly means the trial was some kind of farming grounds for the natives of the zodiac plains. As for their purpose, it was still a mystery.
Anyhow, he let Captain Free Sword continue.
"In those murals were multiple battles recorded, and they were extremely vivid, and I can only describe those battles as godly. But in the center of that hall was a stone tablet filled with bizarre information. It describes the structure of the world, the Zodiac Plains!" At this point, Captain Free Sword sneakily looked at Jacob.
Jacob's eyes were narrowed as his heart trembled. He never expected there would be this kind of secret hidden in trial plains.
"Continue." He coldly urged.
Captain Free Sword took a deep breath and said, "I don't know how much was true or how much was fake, but according to those writings, the Zodiac Plains is divided into twelve Grand Absolute Galaxies named Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces Galaxies.
"These galaxies are further divided into Higher, Middle, and Lesser Galaxies. Furthermore, all of these galaxies are connected and connected with each other through none other than the Star Ocean. Together, they made the Zodiac Plains.
"There was no information about the higher and middle galaxies or their structures, but it was written that the Kingdom in the trial plain was located in the Lesser Grand Absolute Galaxy of Taurus, and they worship the Taurus Demiurge who rule the entire Taurus Grand Absolute Galaxy!"
