Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 1275 - This Is Quite Annoying

Roan then asked Rean, "So, what do you want to do with these people? You're not planning on bringing all of them along with us, right?"

Dilan, who was also amongst the people who were rescued in the end, couldn't help but say, "Your Demon Bird can carry all of us, so what's the problem? I saw your concealment skill. Isn't it enough to bring us all safe outside?"

Roan snorted in response. "We've already saved your life. Shouldn't you be grateful for that much already? We also have to make sure you leave? Why?"

*Clap!*

Rean then called their attention. "Alright, alright. How about this? The safe trip outside will cost each of you a hundred Rank Two Divine Stones. You saw what those bounty hunters are capable of, so I don't think this is a bad price."

"What?!"

Naturally, everyone was shocked to hear the huge price. "That's too much!"

Rean then pointed at Dilan and said in response, "How come? He charged me exactly the same price just to point out where we are at the moment on the map. I'm doing a much harder job here for the same amount. I believe it's very cheap in that regard."

Everyone then looked at Dilan, who scratched the back of his head in response. He had given that price as a way of provoking Rean and Roan. Never had he thought that they would pay straight away, let alone that it would come back to haunt him. "Ahem... here, one hundred Rank Two Divine Stones."

Rean took them and smiled, saying, "Thank you for your patronage."

Most of the people wanted nothing more than to simply beat those two. But in the end, the contract prevented them from doing that.

Eventually, the first one other than Dilan gave up. "Fine! Take it!"

With him taking the lead, the others also paid Rean the same amount. There were 21 people rescued by Rean and Roan, so Rean immediately recovered 2100 Rank Two Divine Stones. The barrier crossing cost 4000, which meant he had now recovered half of the stones he had used at first. "Great!"

Rean then jumped on Kentucky's back and said, "Everyone, come on board!"

Roan was already there, while the rest joined them soon after. Thanks to Kentucky's breakthrough to Stage Seven, he got even bigger, so carrying those additional 21 people was very simple for him. "Well, we're taking flight. Hold on!"

Kentucky didn't hold back and flew straight in the direction pointed in the map by Rean. They had just arrived, so they first needed to go to a city. There, they could think about taking a teleport to Trimazo Country, where the Lost Star Realm was located.

With Rean's Light bending technique and Roan's thin layer of water, their group had become literally invisible. It would already be hard to find them in the normal way, let alone now. The most update n0vels are published on Noᴠelꜰire

Dilan had mentioned that leaving the blind zone would take a week, but that was considering that they would move through the land. Now that they were flying, it only took three days to leave the zone. The surprising thing was that the lizard-mounted cultivators were the only cultivators they found. The blind zone seemed to be an area of training as well, as they found a lot of cultivator groups trekking the zone from the skies.

Kentucky flew for one extra day until Rean finally gave the command. "Alright, Kentucky. Let's head down."

"Okay!"

Kentucky landed on the ground before Rean looked at everyone. "My part of the deal is done. We left the blind zone and got quite far away from it. From now on, you will have to rely on yourselves."

A few people didn't like that Rean didn't bring them to the next city. But then again, they weren't so helpless that they couldn't take care of themselves now that they were here. "Fine, we're leaving."

Following that, the twins took flight once more before Rean looked at Roan. "See? We were able to help a lot of them and even earn a bit of money from it. It's not bad to help others."

Roan shrugged his shoulders in response, telling him, "You're the one responsible for our finances, so I won't complain."

Kentucky then asked the twins, "By the way, how far are we from the next city?"

Rean immediately answered, "According to the map, we'll need to fly for two more days. Why? Are you tired already?"

Kentucky shook his head. "No. It's just that I want to go back and eat Diamond Golem Ore. You had me stop digesting it halfway through."

Rean sighed and told Kentucky in response, "I'll send you back into the Dimensional Realm once we arrive there."

Other than the blind zone, the rest of the trip was pretty much safe. Rean's group occasionally found one or another group of cultivators from the skies, which they used to ask for information. Eventually, two days later, they arrived at a city called Optigo.

Before entering it, Rean and Roan had Kentucky land in a concealed area and sent him back into the Dimensional Realm. Only then did they head to the city's gate a few tens of kilometers away.

The city wasn't much different from Cosec. It was considered a small one in a place like the Realm of Gods. The twins didn't want to waste much time on it, so they quickly looked for the Formation Guild, where they could pay for the teleportation.

"I'm sorry, sirs. The teleport formations are out of service," the worker behind the counter apologized.

"What?! Why?" It was the first time the twins had seen the Formation Guild not accepting teleports. That's because they were considered expensive, so anyone who could pay for it would give a lot of profit to the guild.

The worker looked at Rean and Roan with surprise, saying, "Isn't that obvious? The Ten Region War has made it impossible to work with teleport formations. Our Formation Guild is neutral to any power struggle, so we block the teleport formations for everyone on all sides of the battle. If you want to teleport somewhere, you will need to use the army's teleport formations."

Rean and Roan looked at each other, with Roan saying, "Well, this is quite annoying."
