Death… And Me Chapter 1049 - Newcomers

Chapter 1049 - Newcomers

The Demon Birds that came from the Beast Taming Guild were considered part of the guild as well. Because of that, they could fly in and out of the city as the guards knew that Beast Tamers that could get such demon beasts had a free pa.s.s because of the guild.

Rean and Roan, obviously, exited through the north side on their Golden Rascol, disappearing off into the distance after some time. As they flew ahead, Roan couldn't help but say, "This Golden Rascol is so slow."

Rean shrugged his shoulders in response. "There's no helping it. We got used to flying with Kentucky every time we needed him. Kentucky is a Divine Demon Beast, not to mention he has some connection with the system as well. His flight speed is always an entire realm above his cultivation level. On the other hand, this Golden Rascol is only a common Stage Five Demon Beast. It can't possibly be as good as Kentucky. It would need to go up two stages for it to match Kentucky's speed."

Roan knew that Rean was right. "Anyway, with Kentucky, we would take somewhere around a month to arrive. By foot, it would be eight months. As for this Rascol..."

Rean pondered over it for a bit before saying, "Probably three to four months. It's still much faster than we would be by foot, after all. There are no obstacles to care about."

Roan nodded in agreement. "Kilas City should be just two or so days away by flight then."

"Are we stopping there or pa.s.sing through?" Rean asked.

Roan then looked at the Rascol under his feet. "We better stop since this Rascol wouldn't be able to fly for much longer without rest. We can make a quick stop on each city along the way to do the same thing."

To make sure nothing would stop their travel, Rean activated his Light and Divine Sense bending skill, turning the Golden Rascol invisible from the skies. Thanks to that, their travel to Kilas City was quite smooth.

Kilas City wasn't much different from Cosec, also being considered a 'small' city. When the guards of the south gate saw the Golden Rascol approaching, they didn't even try to intervene as they knew it could only be done by the Demon Beast Taming Guild.

Rean and Roan then landed by the guild's branch, where they let the Golden Rascol rest while they went out to get some extra information. Because they didn't expect to take another Demon Bird, they also took the chance to resupply food for their Rascol.

Everything went smoothly in Kilas City until a few hours later. When the twins came back to take the Rascol again, there seemed to be two cultivators waiting for them. Roan kept quiet as always, letting Rean do the talk. "Errr...do you need something from our Golden Rascol?"

The two cultivators were a female and a male. Naturally, their attention was taken when Rean called them. "Oh, hi! We've been waiting for you. The worker responsible for your Golden Rascol told us that you're planning to travel straight to Giliga City north from here. Is that true?"

Rean nodded in response. They told the worker that so that he could prepare the Golden Rascol for the long ride. That's because Giliga City was much further away than Cosec was from Kilas. They didn't want to stop if not necessary. "That's true."

The male there then made a request. "Would you mind giving us a ride? We can pay, of course."

Rean couldn't help but ask in response, "Why would you ask us? Couldn't you take one of the guild's transports to Giliga? "

The man shook his head in response. "They can't. Giliga is too far away, so we would need to make a few stops in other smaller cities. Simply put, we would have to travel in an arc instead of heading straight there. Considering your demon beast's level, we would take one week and a half to get to Giliga. If we took the other route, it would take us a full month. We don't want to wait this long if possible."

Roan glanced at the two of them for a moment. Although most people wouldn't notice it, he could tell that those two seemed concerned about something. He then used Rean's Divine Sense bending skill on those two as they were very close.

Of course, this was the Demon Beast Taming Guild. Many cultivators were walking around and using their Divine Senses. However, the moment Roan did that, he felt that one of those Divine Senses began to approach quickly until its owner stopped somewhere further away, trying not to be seen. Roan didn't need to look in the onlooker's direction to know that he was watching these two. 'Oh-ho...'

Rean was just about to refuse them when suddenly, Roan raised his hand. "Fine. However, that will depend on how much you pay. As you know, we will pa.s.s through the demon beasts' territory if we do that. It's also because of this that the other Beast Tamers aren't willing to travel straight to Giliga. That should show you the risks of this journey."

Rean was surprised to hear that. Since when did Roan like to help strangers? He would rather pretend they don't even exist in a normal situation. 'Could it be that his heart began to change because of Calina?'

[Hmph! As if! The Realm of G.o.ds will be devoid of G.o.ds before that happens.] Sister Orb answered straight away.

Rean nodded in agreement. 'That's true. Ice blocks don't have emotions.'

Roan felt nothing more than giving these two a beating. He was sure that they knew he had a reason for this action. Nevertheless, they didn't let a chance to test his patience pa.s.s up as neither one tried to hide their voices at all.

The man and the woman were delighted to hear Roan's words, though. "Sure, sure! How much would it cost?"

Roan then looked at Rean, who was responsible for the financial affairs. "Hmm...such a long journey through the usual path would cost you 30 to 40 Divine Stones. Since we're doing this much more dangerous one...how about a hundred Divine Stones?"

They immediately nodded without even thinking. "Deal!"
