Chapter 1492 – Plans
After that, Rean sent Kentucky back into the Dimensional Realm before Roan brought him out once again. Roan still had a few missions to do, so having Kentucky to help move around was better. This was a very good thing about the system, being the fact that the twins could put and take things from it, even though they were in two different places. It basically acted as a free teleport system.
At the same time, Falangia began to follow the kids around as they did missions for the Mercenary Guild. Of course, she also took the opportunity to cultivate while doing that.
Roan finished the missions he took from the Mercenary Guild three days later, just like he said to the worker. With that, he was once again promoted, now a Three Stars Mercenary. The next level of information in the guild needed three stars, so he got what he wanted. If Roan wanted to be promoted again, the requirements would be a lot harder. First, he couldn’t take any mission below his own cultivation level. The time to finish the missions that led to a Four Stars promotion was also reduced. Well, Roan didn’t intend to try it anyway.
The next day, Roan finished looking into all the information he cared about before going back to the hotel. There he started to cultivate, waiting for Rean to finish the teleport formation.
And just like that, an entire month went by.
Back at the exit of the Under Desert Sea, the super long-distance teleport formation was now flashing with Divine Energy. Rean looked at his entire work before matching it with the requirements in the jade slip. “Alright, it should be okay now. Also, it seems like the formation on the other side is also complete, so you can teleport anything.”
Gigi’s subordinate nodded in response before sending someone into the teleport formation. As mentioned before, Rean’s group always teleported from one city to another since it was much cheaper. The further one tried to teleport, the higher the number of Divine Stones one needed to use. At some point, the rank of the Divine Stones increased as well.
Rean then saw Gigi take out a few Rank Three Divine Stones, which meant that the other teleport formation was very, very far away. At the next moment, the formation flashed with silver light as the demon beast disappeared. Obviously, the Rank Three Divine Stones broke apart after their energy was used.
The result didn’t take long to appear, though. A few minutes later, the teleport formation activated once again before three demon beasts appeared on it. One of them was the aquatic demon beast that first entered the formation. “Everything is working fine.”
Gigi’s subordinate nodded before he looked back at Rean, telling him, “Alright, I’ll pass the message that you completed your task. You can head back to Utari again. Head straight to the City Lord’s mansion. He should have your map prepared for retrieval.”
Rean sighed in relief after that. “Phew… it’s finally over. Thanks for the job, sir.”
The guy nodded before leaving to talk with the two extra aquatic demon beasts that came through the teleport. Rean, of course, had nothing to do with it, so he decided to leave as well. After opening some distance from the area, he took Kentucky out of the Dimensional Realm and flew back to Utari City.
At the inn…
“Alright, I got the map,” Rean said.
Roan already knew that. “Indeed. We can finally depart. It seems like our plan of trying to find a way to use Salt Canyon Undersea City’s teleport formation will have to wait, though.”
Rean agreed with Roan, saying, “We need to try to find Havek, after all. The Glacial Corals region is three times as far as Salt Canyon, so we’ll obviously have to pass by it without using their teleport formation.”
Falangia was there as well. Of course, the twins didn’t tell why and how they knew him, nor did Falangia try to ask. Instead, she thought about how she could help them. “Perhaps it’ll be better for the two of us to stay in Salt Canyon Undersea City when we pass there. After all, you do intend to come back to Salt Canyon after you finish looking for this guy called Havek, no?”
Rean and Roan looked at each other after that. “Indeed, should we head back to Salt Canyon after reaching the Glacial Corals region? If that’s the case, it would be better to leave Falangia and Rafatia there.”
Roan pondered over it for a bit before asking. “Check the map. Which one is closer, the next city or Salt Canyon?”
Rean immediately took the jade slip and checked the map inside, soon responding, “From what I can see here, it would be faster if we continue forward instead of coming back to Salt Canyon Undersea City. Coming back would take us two months, while moving forward to Googh Undersea City would take just one. I’m just not sure if this Googh City has teleport formations or not.”
Roan nodded once he heard that. “It’s still better to try that one anyway. After all, it’s not just the two months to go back to Salt Canyon that we have to think about. There’s also the fact that we probably wouldn’t be able to take a teleport formation if we head back. In that case, we would have lost two months traveling back and another two months traveling forward.”
Falangia and Rean nodded after that. “That’s true.”
With that, the group decided that they might as well keep Falangia and Rafatia close and head straight to Googh Undersea City. Well, they still had no clue what would happen in the Glacial Corals region either. “Then it’s decided.”
Rean then looked at Rafatia and Luan, asking, “By the way, how’s their training going?”
Rafatia immediately answered, “We did a lot of mercenary missions. Look, I also got many Stage Two Demon Beast Cores!”
Luan nodded soon after. “Me too. We did get injured many times, but dad helped heal us after every day of work.”
“Dad?” Rean looked at Roan and asked, “Did you give up complaining?”
Roan nodded, saying, “It was a waste of time since I simply don’t care about how others call me. As long as they aren’t trying to provoke me, of course.”
Rean shrugged his shoulders after that. After all, he knew that Roan wasn’t pretending.. He simply didn’t care at all.
