Chapter 1484 – Request
The Pristine Jade Dolphin was actually the aquatic demon beast called Gigi, the same one who was at the Under Desert Sea’s exit. Rean was told that he could find the dolphin in the City Lord’s mansion, so that’s where he went.
“Halt! State your reason for the visit,” said the guards at the front.
Rean looked around and could see many more guards, all in matching uniforms and positions. That showed how well the security was around this place. “My name is Rean. The Formation Guild sent me to meet Senior Gigi.” Rean then showed his badge to the guard.
“Very well. We have been waiting for you.” The guards then opened the way and let Rean through. Inside, one of the servants guided Rean to the City Lord’s office, where the Pristine Jade Dolphin could also be found.
Outside the room, Rean could hear the voices of the City Lord and the dolphin speaking.
“So the Flash Beast is now running rampant in Treavin Continent?”
“That’s correct. From now on, it won’t be so easy to find people from other continents entering the Pol Continent through this side.”
“Well, that’s a good thing, no?”
“Not really. We’ve done many trades with the people of the Treavin Continent for resources that you could only find in the desert. Since the Under Desert Sea’s exit was being watched all the time, there wasn’t really a risk of invasion without anyone noticing.”
“That’s true. Our Utari City usually traded quite a few items with Ertos City on the other side. Our Pol Continent is especially lacking in Fire Element materials, so we’ll definitely feel a pinch over time.”
Suddenly, the two heard a knock on the office’s door. “City Lord, Senior Gigi, I’ve brought the Formation Master from the Formation Guild.”
The City Lord nodded in response. “Good. Let the person enter.”
The City Lord was obviously part of one of the humanoid races. As for the dolphin, he was in his human form, so only a few features of his race could be seen. Nevertheless, it was impossible to mistake the demonic aura. “Hello, seniors. My name is Rean. Senior Tuvaru mentioned that Senior Gigi was in need of a Golden Peak-level Formation Master.”
Gigi immediately nodded with a surprised expression, saying, “That’s correct. Are you really a Formation Master? You’re quite young to be at Golden Peak-level. No, wait, your cultivation is also very high.” The dolphin then looked at the City Lord after that. “Abriu, is he part of one of the local powers?”
The City Lord, Abriu, immediately shook his head. He knew very well the geniuses of the city as he kept a close tie with the local powers. If there was a genius like Rean around, Abriu would have already known. “He isn’t. Did you come from some other Island?”
Rean shook his head as he replied, “No, sir. I’m one of the travelers who used the Under Desert Sea to enter the Pol Continent. I’ve heard from Senior Tuvaru that the Continental Barrier suddenly changed, so he thought I would be interested in taking this job since it’s probably related to this issue.”
Gigi wasn’t surprised to hear that Rean came from another continent. As mentioned before, quite a few people and demon beasts used the Under Desert Sea to cross over. After all, Pol Continent did have better conditions for cultivation. It was an open secret. “With that being said, aren’t you afraid I’ll connect you with what happened to the continental barrier? Since you’re new here, you probably passed through the Under Desert Sea during the time things changed.”
Rean didn’t deny that, saying, “Indeed. Not only was I in the Under Desert Sea when the continental barrier began to change, but I was also almost killed by it. Can you imagine how scary it was for an Elemental Transformation Realm ant like me to suddenly see himself inside a gradually strengthening barrier? I was lucky that I was close to the end of the Under Desert Sea at that time.” Roan had mentioned that their cultivation was the main reason they would be fine. At their level, they simply couldn’t do anything to the Flash Beast, and Gigi knew that. Of course, Rean also added one more guarantee. “If senior doubts my words, this little one is willing to sign a Soul Binding Contract stating that my words were true and I have nothing to do with what happened in the barrier.” Rean then took a Soul Binding Contract out and passed it to Gigi.
Gigi, of course, could tell that the contract was genuine. However, he simply threw it back at Rean. “Whatever. Someone as weak as you could never force that thing to come out of its confinement.”
Rean nodded and didn’t say anything.
Gigi, obviously, decided to enter the main topic after that. “The reason I called you here is that we need to build a teleport formation in front of the Under Desert Sea on our side. Since it will be a super long-distance teleport formation, it has to be at least at the Golden Peak-level. Are you capable of doing such a thing?”
Rean was taken aback to hear that. He came here so that he could have a chance to ask for a similar thing. It’s just that he was planning to use the Salt Canyon Undersea City’s teleport formation instead. “Absolutely, sir. However, a super long-distance teleport formation will require quite a few expensive materials. Also, I need someone to tell me the formations’ specifics so that the person who’s building the other end of the teleport formation can match my own.”
Gigi immediately threw Rean a spatial ring in response. “You seem very confident in your skills, so there you go. Inside, you have a few jade slips with the specifics about the formation and all the materials you need to build it. What I need from you is speed, so you must depart immediately. Don’t worry. You’ll be well rewarded for your efforts.”
Rean naturally didn’t find a problem with it. “Definitely, sir. However, I already have something I want to ask Senior.”
Gigi narrowed his eyes in response as he replied, “What is it?”
“I would like to use the teleport formation to travel further into Pol Continent.. Would that be possible?” Rean asked.
