"HAHAHA...!" Loud laughter erupted. The laughter was from John, Jet, Paytowin, Bowler, and The Man. The Man quickly stopped laughing when Jack glanced over.

"What are you people laughing at? This is all because you people didn't will it enough. You all disrupt the flow of my willpower. If only I am alone here willing it, we will surely have gotten an eternal-grade guild hero," Jack uttered.

"You are still talking about that crap? Stop embarrassing yourself with excuses," John said.

"Getting a mythical-grade hero is very good already," Jeanny said.

"That's right," Peniel agreed. "Even though we were using a legendary-grade hero token, there is still a big chance to get lower-grade heroes. Even the chance of a mythical-grade hero using a legendary hero token is only 20%. So, I say this result is already considered very good."

"I know. I am glad about this result," John said. "I'm just happier with the chance to laugh at his absurd confidence."

"Whatever," Jack ignored the ridicule. He went and checked their new hero's statistics.

Like the previous heroes, Rahab also provided a passive boost to guild soldiers. All guild special units received +10% to their stats and damage dealt. They also have a 10% damage reduction when receiving attacks from non-demon units. These buffs were doubled to all friendly soldiers within a 30-meter radius of Rahab.

Rahab's passive buffs were geared toward special units. Special units were those that were not from the guild's six standard units. Footsoldier, archer, knight, cavalry, mage, and healer.

In their case, their guild had quite a collection of special units. Eagle rider hunter, blood count, twilight champion, brave rider, and demonic legion. So, Rahab's buffs were pretty beneficial.

Their guild also had ice cannon tanks and brave golems, but these were not considered special units. They were mechanical units. So, these two units didn't get Rahab's buffs.

After finishing checking the statistics, Jack turned to Jeanny and said, "Jeanny, go ahead and increased his level with mana cores."

"Why don't you use yours?" Jeanny asked.

Jack smiled awkwardly and answered, "I need the mana cores, hehe."

"And I don't?" Jeanny asked, but she still went to the hero altar and injected her mana cores. Rahab's level increased to level 75.

Like the previous time, Jack used his mobile blacksmith tools and started working on equipment suitable for Rahab. Rahab's current equipment was all just common grade.

Rahab wore heavy armor. This indicated that the demonic hero was a tank. But seeing the casting glove in Rahab's left hand, Jack figured Rahab was a hybrid of melee and magic combatant.

Jack had a selection of heavy armors and sabers of super rare grades, courtesy of the fusion result using the transformation prism. What he lacked was the casting glove. That equipment was pretty rare. Even after all this time, Jack only got enough to fuse the equipment to an uncommon grade.

Jeanny said not to worry about the casting glove. A member had recently acquired a recipe for a super rare grade casting glove, so she told Jack the guild would take care of the glove.

Since donning the regal outfits, Jack hadn't upgraded his equipment for some time. So, he had plenty of ores to spare. He had also taken the stock from the guild warehouse before coming here. With those ores, he upgraded Rahab's equipment until level 75. Jack's blacksmith level upgraded to Intermediate Master after the chores.

Starting from level 75, Jack needed 11 iron ores, 6 steel ores, 4 copper ores, 3 silver ores, 1 gold ore, and 1 mithril ore to attempt a level-up.

Rahab could wear higher-level equipment, but Jack stopped at that level because the success chance for the next level-up was only 25%. That was also after Jack's blacksmith level had upgraded and even after the success chance was boosted using the runestone of probability.

He didn't want to waste too many ores with such a low success chance, so he stopped. John mocked him, where was his previous confidence? Jack again ignored the ridicule.

Jack inserted the leveled-up equipment into the interface on the hero altar. Aside from the casting glove, all of Rahab's equipment had changed. The saber in his right hand emitted ice energy. The saber dealt ice damage and had a small chance to cause Freeze.

Jack then sent Rahab to the training hall to train with the other guild heroes and soldiers. Rahab flapped his demon wings and flew in the direction of the hall.

"What are you going to do now?" Jeanny asked Jack after Rahab left.

"I'm going to Verremor," Jack answered.

"Again? A proper state visit this time?"

"More like a secret state visit. A formal state visit takes a long time to arrange, I also have no time for all the festivities they arrange for me when I visit. I've called an inside man to sneak me into their meeting so I don't have to go through all the red tape."

"Is that proper?"

Jack shrugged. "I don't have time for bureaucracy crap."

Jeanny shook her head. "Do you want some of our guild members to go with you?" She asked.

Bowler and the others were also listening. They immediately raised their hands, signaling their willingness to accompany Jack as they did in Palgrost.

"No need," Jack rejected the offer. "I want this visit to be low profile, so I am going alone."

Bowler and the others showed disappointed expressions.

"All right then. Good luck," Jeanny said to Jack.

Jack nodded and left.

He went to the teleportation chamber and transformed into Iamanorc before teleporting to Magna Masat, the capital of Verremor.

Coming out of the zone portal, he looked around. He quickly spotted two familiar faces.

"You certainly took your sweet time," Water Lily greeted.

"I'm sorry," Jack said apologetically. "The thing I dealt with took longer than I thought."

"Four Winds is waiting in the palace. Let's go," Water Lily said.

"I will go hail a carriage," Coca said. He ran to the exit.

"Has Four Winds gotten the hang of ruling?" Jack asked as he and Water Lily walked to the exit.

"He is doing fine. Thanks to Peniel for her tips," Water Lily answered.

"You're welcome," Peniel said.

When they arrived at the street outside the exit, Coca had managed to get a carriage. It was a traditional carriage like the ones in Themisphere. But instead of being pulled by a horse, this carriage was pulled by some kind of an ox creature.

Coca told the carriage's driver about their destination and the three went inside.
