Death… And Me Chapter 159 - Conclusion

Chapter 159 - Conclusion

Time pa.s.sed, and Rean eventually healed every one. Oritis and Rolim already brought back clothes for those women to use. Luina, as the only woman in their group, was responsible for talking with them. Some teared up straight away and wept for hours. Others had bleak expressions, showing that they already had a mental breakdown a long time ago. Nonetheless, Luina treated all of them carefully.

Sometime later, Rean and Roan went inside the Fort and began to look for their spoils. Sure enough, the place was packed with Spirit Stones, Treasures, Medicines, Art Pieces, etc. However, what really called Rean's attention was a large number of High-Quality Materials for forging. Not only that, but there were even a few Peak Quality ones. That's was the main reason they took this job to start with, so Rean was obviously ecstatic.

Luina noticed Rean's happy face and couldn't help but ask.

"Did you find something you like?"

Rean nodded and then looked at Luina's group.

"Yes. You might not know this, but I'm a blacksmith myself. These metals are essential to me. How about it? I will take all the materials, and you can have the rest. Does it sound fair?"

Luina, Oritis, and Rolin were taken aback. They could see a large amount of metal available. But above that, there were many other things, specially Rank Two Spirit Stones. Would he really trade everything just for those ores?

"No can do, it was the two of you who made most of the job. You should take a few more things than just the ores available."

Rean shook his head.

"Don't worry, this is very fair. You can't identify those ores and materials, but I can. Believe me when I say that I won't be losing. If anything, it would be a lot harder to acquire all of this with Spirit Stones alone."

Luina looked at the two behind her, and they nodded their heads at her. None of them were blacksmiths, so the other treasures were a lot more useful to them.

"Alright. Then let's do like you said."

With everything resolved, they separated everything. Later, they went back to rest as well.

However, before that, Luina had to ask something else that was puzzling her.

"How exactly did you take control of the formation?"

Roan smiled and took a hexagonal plate from his robe.

"Simple, I had a similar formation plate. All I had to do was see how the formation worked, and the change it to control the formation myself. However, don't ask where I got it. Don't ask how I did it either. That's all a secret."

Luina's group was surprised to hear that, but at least they had an answer now. Of course, Rean and Roan knew that it was just a lie, but it was better than tell her about Sister Orb.

At some point, Roan disappeared from the Fort. Rean then quickly explained that he went back to Cinquel City to call for help. They wouldn't be able to move all these ordinary people on their own, after all. They didn't need to feel afraid of anything while in this place. The formation was in Sister Orb's hand, and she didn't need to sleep, so she could protect everyone even if they were resting. Besides, the bandits left more than enough provisions for them to use.

Three days later, a group with a hundred or so City Guards from Cinquel City arrived. The formation opened and let everyone inside. They were surprised to see this Fort in the middle of nowhere. But above all, they confirmed that Roan wasn't lying in his report. Rean, Roan, and Luina then talked with the captain of those guards. They also pa.s.sed back the plate that could control the formation for them to use.

"Alright. The mission is concluded, let's go back to Cinquel City. We need to report back to Uive and deliver the heads of the two sub-leaders."

Luina couldn't help but ask.

"What about our prizes in the fort?"

Rean shrugged his shoulder before saying.

"I already had my metals sent back to my sect. It's up to you what you will do with your part."

Oritis, Rolin, and Luina were shocked to hear that. Just when was it that they moved all those metals away? The didn't see anything at all! In the end, Luina's group decided to give up understanding these twins.

"Give me a second."

Luina left her group and went to talk with the captain of the city guards' group. After pa.s.sing her token as a Lagan Sect Disciple, she instructed that those were their rewards of the a.s.sault. Later, her sect members would come to help bring everything away. She wasn't afraid of anyone stealing anything. Very few would be idiot enough to buy a fight against one of the five Major Sects.

"Alright. Shall we go?"

Everyone nodded and departed.

Back in Cinquel City, Uive was already expecting their return. After all, Roan had come to ask for a group to move the hostages in the Fort. As mentioned before, they brought Reabar and Laxin's heads, which was enough to prove their success.

"So, Lovak escaped in the end."

Roan nodded.

"There wasn't much we could do since he was stronger than I predicted. I was quite surprised by that ability that increased his combat power by an entire stage. I don't know if he was lying or not, but before we went through our last clash, he said he would leave the country if he survived. You might try to ask the border patrols to keep a look around. As for if you will find him or not, that I don't know."

Uive nodded, still finding it hard to believe that Rean and Roan really fought Lovak in that state to a standstill. Talented cultivators being found in the five Major Sects is normal. But the twins far surpa.s.sed those other talents he saw in the past. Not to mention that he still felt bewildered with how mature Rean and Roan seemed every time they talked.

"Very well, I'll pa.s.s this order over to the border. It will be almost impossible to find Lovak, but at least he won't be our problem anymore. I doubt he will begin another group after what he experienced here."

Uive continued.

"Leaving that aside. Here are the tokens that represent the accomplishment of the mission. Also, you can go to the treasure room and take what was agreed before."

Rean's eyes lit up after hearing that. After all, he had some extra High-Level material to take as the reward for completing the mission. Roan didn't say anything since he only came for the combat experience. Luina's group was also ecstatic. From the looks of it, the rewards agreement between Cinquel City and the Lagan Sect was different from Dalamu Sect.

Rean couldn't use the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm in front of everyone, so he simply selected the things he wanted and told the guards to deliver it in Dalamu Sect. It would take a few days for them to arrive, but he didn't care since he got a lot from the bandit's Fort.

In fact, the number of High-Level Ores and other materials for forging in the bandit's lair was higher than the payment for accomplis.h.i.+ng the mission. One could imagine how happy Rean was at the moment. Rean and Roan then talked with Uive once more before biding their farewells.

On their way out, they met with Luina's group once more.

"Thanks for the help in the mission. Without the two of you, we definitely wouldn't have succeeded. Chances are that someone would have even died in the end."

Roan just waved his hand and continued on his way. Rean, of course, could only sigh helplessly.

"Well, I guess you already expected this kind of reaction of him."

Luina, Oritis, and Rolin couldn't help but laugh. Indeed, after so many days together, they already understood that it would be meaningless to ask Roan to act like any other person.

"Anyway, I'll be leaving too. See you around."

"Wait!"

Rean stopped and looked back at Luina. She then took a token from her bag and pa.s.sed it to him.

"If you need help in the future, you can send this token to our Lagan Sect. I will know that it was you. Just attach a message to it, and I will know where to go as well."

Rean took the token and smiled back at her.

"Alright."

After that, he ran to catch up with Roan.

Luina then sighed as she looked at Roan's black hair and his back in the distance.

'If just he wasn't a kid...'

She then turned around and left with her subordinates.

Rean and Roan quickly arrived where they left their flying Demon Beast. The people working there seemed to already be used to it, so their Mountain Eagle was well treated. They quickly mounted it and left, going back to the Dalamu Sect.
