Death… And Me Chapter 886 - Possible Second Path

Chapter 886 - Possible Second Path

"Hmm? Frandin? How come?" Rean asked as he worked on the communication system.

The disciple on his side then explained as he shook his head, "I don't know. The Zasfin guy who came here simply asked to deliver this jade slip to you."

Rean couldn't help but ponder over it, thinking to himself, 'There's no way the demon beasts keeping watch over the Wringan Continent didn't notice this guy. For him to pa.s.s through this easily meant that he wasn't a risk for the humans in the first place. Well, it seems like they sent someone at the Nascent Soul or the Soul Transformation Realm to deliver the message.'

It's just Rean also saw a problem there. 'However, Frandin was one of the Zasfins that helped Roan and me when we were new to this planet. Could it be that they found out about it?'

Rean quickly put those thoughts behind as he looked at the disciple, saying, "Alright, give it to me."

-Rean, Roan, it's Frandin. I'm using this method to contact you since it would be impossible for a Zasfin of my level to get close to your Freedom Sect. Don't worry, the one I asked to deliver the message was my father.-

Rean couldn't help but nod after hearing that. 'Sure enough, it was a Nascent Soul Realm Zasfin that delivered the message.' Back when Rean kidnapped Frandin, his father tried to stop it. That's why Rean knew Frandin's father was at the Nascent Soul Realm. Rean continued to check the message after that.

-He's the only one, other than Xiria, that knows about my time with you guys.- Xiria was the girl from Asume Clan. After Calina's group left the city, Xiria followed them. It's just that she and Frandin separated from Calina's group after the war started. -He obviously decided to keep it a secret and was quite happy with my progress. He intends to make me the next City Lord. Fortunately for us, the continent we lived in wasn't one of the demon beasts' ones. That being said, our city is still more or less intact, with only having a few cultivators dying far away in the war.-

Rean could not help but be happy for Frandin after that. It seemed like everything went fine after they separated. He knew that Frandin went out to fight for the Zasfin race during the war, but the same could be said about him for the humans. 'Still, if everything is fine, why would he send me this jade slip?' Rean thought for a moment before continuing with the message.

-The reason I sent you this message is that I need your help with something. I know I'm not in the position to ask any favors. After all, I did fight on the Zasfins' side. However, I don't know who to ask.- With that, Frandin entered the main topic. -Do you think it's possible for me to be granted a safety pa.s.s to your Freedom Sect and Freedom City? I found it out from the news spreading around the Zasfin territories. Something about the fact that humans have created a sect of their own. It's deemed as a joke here. Nevertheless, I knew that it would definitely be connected to you.-

Rean was taken aback after that. 'If your life is already smooth sailing, then why would you want to come here?' Rean asked himself for a second as he continued to read.

-You probably noticed it already, but our Palif Empire is located right above your Wringan Continent.- That was true. Palif Empire was indeed part of the continent of Zasfins closest to Wringan. -Although Wringan Continent wasn't very populated, our Danve City was one of the towns that carried several trades with the cities at the north of Wringan. Many of the materials only found there were sold to us, so be it Danve City or the several others around them, a great part of their income depended on it. I would like to establish a trading agreement with the humans that now occupy that region.-

Rean finally understood what Frandin wanted. 'Sure enough, only with the influence of someone like me would this kind of trading be possible.'

Rean couldn't help but think even further. 'Wait! How come I haven't thought about that yet? I'm such an idiot! Until now, I have always thought about how to protect the human race if the Zasfins decided to attack again. The communication system was one of the methods to help with that. However, why can't we grow amicable relations with them first? Aren't trades a very good first step for smooth relations between sides?'

Rean understood that his idea was very unrealistic. After all, they would at most create friendly relations with the cities and maybe the countries at the south of the Palif Empire. The rest of the Zasfins would still not like humans anyway. There was also the issue with the human race, which definitely didn't have a good opinion about the Zasfins at the moment.

'No, I can't think only on the bad side of things. With the agreement of non-aggression to the humans in Wringan active for a thousand years, this is the perfect time for that. Weren't there Demon Beast Cities where Zasfins and demon beasts traded? If their mortal enemies, the demon beasts, could still create such a thing, why couldn't the humans?'

The more Rean thought about it, the more he thought it was possible. 'Besides, we're talking about a thousand years of ceasefire. Well, at least a ceasefire inside Wringan Continent. People might hate Zasfins now. However, the majority of these people will eventually pa.s.s away, and their descendants will remain. These descendants won't understand their parents' grievances. As more generations come and go, the hatred is bound to diminish.'

Of course, Rean wasn't an idiot either. 'Well, it'll be great if it works. However, I should also guarantee that the defenses of the Wringan Continent in the future will be rock solid. I probably won't be here at that time, so I should do my best to achieve both objectives. I can only hope that the mutual coexistence will be the real outcome of the humans and Zasfins' future.'

Soon after, Rean spread his Spiritual Sense and called Roan, Malo, Fizer, and other members of the sect over.. He obviously wanted to share his thoughts.
