Jacob fell into deep thought; he was expecting to think much, since the Dark City wasn't much different than the three hegemonies in regard to their member recruitment.
But it was still far stricter than the three hegemonies because they give ranks according to a person's power and occupation. However, in the dark city, everyone has to start from the bottom, and their rules also can't be taken lightly.
At least Jacob was expecting something like that bronze invitation. Still, it seemed even if Dark Marquise wanted to do the same, she probably could only do it with the outer member, or she might have already found the matter between him and Ellie and don't dare to play tricks.
Whatever the case was, at least she was telling the truth, so Jacob couldn't play any tricks.
