Jack didn't hang around for too long around the three guilds. He tried asking around some more regarding the last phase of the meeting without trying to make it too obvious, but everyone was tight-lipped about the subject. It was probably because they had been bound by the Shackle of Vows. He gave up after a while and departed from the ruin.
When he was out of Starlight Ruin, he asked Peniel, "Do you have any idea how Earmouth only lost one level despite being killed in the wilderness?"
"I do," She answered.
"How?"
"He was probably wearing the Amulet of Rebirth"
Hearing the name, he could more or less guess the function. "I reckon this amulet allows the wearer to reduce the penalty of being killed in the wilderness to the same as being killed inside a safe zone or dungeon?"
"That's correct?" Peniel replied.
"So lucky for him to get himself such a rare item," Jack commented.
