Sister Orb, who knew what was happening, immediately disagreed. [What are you talking about? The chances are very small for sure. Didn’t you notice? The system hasn’t closed the Dimensional Realm at all. It obviously thinks that these demon beasts are not able to pose any danger to you.]
Roan had to admit Sister Orb was right. ‘That’s good, then.’ Following that, Roan took the opportunity to bring Rean out and explain what was happening.
”Oh! So we got some company, huh? Let’s meet them.” Rean became interested in those demon beasts. They did capture a lot of demon beasts, but he also believed the same thing as Roan. There were too many of them for the core region demon beasts to care about. Little did they know that it was the exact reason for those two to come.
*Vup, vup!*
Netako and Hariado were planning to get rid of the cultivators along the way here since they knew these guys were part of Roan’s group. They were helping the Transition Realm cultivators capture the demon beasts. However, they noticed that Rean and Roan’s Divine Senses were no smaller than their own. The moment they saw the twins, the twins’ Divine Sense also reached them. Naturally, they put the low-level cultivators aside and flew to meet the twins.
Rean then smiled at those two, saying, “Hello, seniors. Is there a reason for you to come out of the core region?”
Netako snorted in response. “Have your humanoid races forgotten that no one in the Elemental Transformation Realm and above is permitted in our Tinlin Forest? However, here you are, right inside Tinlin Forest and capturing our demon beasts.”
”This…” Finally, the twins understood why these Demon Beasts came to see them at all. That was a piece of information that even Roan didn’t know about.
Rean sighed before explaining, “That’s our bad, seniors. My brother and I are new in this country. We had no idea that such a rule existed in the Tinlin Forest.”
”New?” Netako and Hariado narrowed their eyes in response. Though, after looking at the twins for a bit, they could see that the twins seemed to be wearing different clothes than what the people of this country usually did. “Where did you come from?”
Rean and Roan looked at each other, wondering if they should say they came from another continent. However, they gave up the idea in the end. Destiny Avoidance Mode was activated, but if they started talking too much, even it wouldn’t be able to stop trouble from coming their way. Fortunately, Roan had acquired more information about the other countries and regions in the capital.
”We came from Lukres Country, halfway to the center of the continent. We’re traveling with our juniors through the continent for them to gain experience. As you probably noticed, we have a lot of Core Formation, Core and Soul Fusion, and Nascent Soul Realm cultivators following us. We’re all part of the same sect,” Rean explained. As for Lukres Country, it was just one of the countries on the map. They obviously had never been there.
”Lukres?” Netako and Hariado didn’t really know much about the other countries outside, especially one so far away. Not that they couldn’t gather the information, but that they didn’t care. Demon beasts weren’t exactly known for being well-informed, after all. Nevertheless, they found it strange. “Why would you come all the way here to have your juniors hunt in our demon beast forest? This is a continent ruled by demon beasts, after all. There should be no lack of demon beast territories from where you came.”
Rean agreed with them. “You are correct. However, as I mentioned before, we’re traveling to gain experience. We stopped by your Tinlin Forest by mere coincidence. We simply asked in the capital where we could find a demon beast territory with a wide variety of demon beasts in them, and we heard that Tinlin would be the place. If seniors wish it, we can leave straight away.”
It was then that Netako had an idea. “Hehe! It doesn’t change the fact you came into a place you shouldn’t have. However, everything can be resolved properly. You came from Lukres, right? That’s really far, which means you spent quite a lot of Rank Two Divine Stones to arrive here. How about it? Give each of us three thousand Rank Two Divine Stones, and we’ll let you go. Seems like a fair deal, right?”
Hariado’s eyes suddenly lit up after that. Indeed, for them to have come from that far, they must be loaded with Divine Stones. They’re probably part of some big sect from their home country. “You heard my friend here. How about it? Will you pay for the mistake, or should we take the payment ourselves?”
Neither Netako nor Hariado seemed concerned. They didn’t think the twins would be able to flee even if they gave it their all. In their heads, it was already a big favor that they only asked for payment and didn’t attack the twins straight away.
Rean then looked at Roan and asked, ‘Should we pay? Although the Dimensional Realm isn’t closed, which means these guys aren’t dangerous to us, we definitely can’t kill them. After all, they’re both in the Void Tempering Realm. Perhaps only Kentucky would be able to match their speed when they’re using their spatial powers.’
Roan narrowed his eyes in response as he pondered if they should go along with it or not.
