Chapter 492. Blacksmith Haestus

Prince Alonzo's pale face, upon hearing Jack's pledge, brightened considerably. "Good! I'm extremely glad for your support. Please stand up!"

At that time, Jack heard another notification, informing him that his Social skill, Influence, had upgraded to Advanced Apprentice. Earning a prince's gratitude must have pushed that skill's proficiency by a great deal.

Jack said as he stood, "However, I must say, I'm just a weak outworlder. I doubt I can cause any ripple in your power struggle."

"I disagree," the prince said. "If I remember correctly, when we first met, you are still level 18, even lower level than me. Now, even though I have improved, you have improved much further at level 32, while I'm now lower level than you at level 27."

"I agree. The rate by which you outworlders is improving is scary," Commander Quintus said.
