Chapter 1187: What’s the Reason?
Rean did exactly the same with the next two clients, who ended up paying the Divine Stones as well. With that, Rean had finally run out of Earth’s Remnants. It didn’t matter, though. ‘A good thing about being part of the Sacred Land is that they have many subordinates to take tasks for the disciples and elders.’
That made sense as those people could live in the Sacred Land as well. It’s just that they didn’t have access to the facilities or the resources. They had to earn it all by themselves. Nevertheless, it was the same as the worker in the Blacksmith Hall. Just the huge concentration of Divine Energy due to the innumerous Divine Veins was definitely worth it.
However, Roan immediately denied the idea when Rean told him. ‘Don’t send anyone there, or it’ll turn ugly.’
‘Why?’ Rean asked in response. ‘Even if the blacksmiths of the Sacred Land find out, they won’t know how to use the Earth’s Remnants anyway.’
Roan shook his head, saying, ‘They won’t know, but that doesn’t mean they won’t try. It means that they will offer much more than what you did to them. Worst case, they will capture those village members, and you will never find other members of the Cosgles Race’s village there anymore.’
‘Ah!’ Rean had to admit Roan was right. ‘Then…I wonder if I should go there by myself.’ It was then that Rean had an idea. ‘Oh, right! This is a perfect task to give to Kentucky.’
Roan pondered over it for a bit and shook his head. ‘If Kentucky was at the Transition Realm, then I would agree with it. However, do you think you can have Kentucky fly into the cities alone to use the teleport formations? All the cultivators there would think he is a savage demon beast and attack. Even if he talks to them, who knows what could happen? You better let him stay in Lukimira to keep cultivating.’
In the end, Rean couldn’t help but sigh in response. ‘Well, I guess I’ll have to head there by myself.’
‘That isn’t too much of an issue. You have the Sacred Land’s badge, so you can use the teleport formations of the entire Huring Continent for free. If you teleport to the closest formation, it won’t take more than two or three days to make a round trip,’ Roan told him.
Rean had to admit Roan was right. ‘Well, I guess I can only do just that.’ Rean didn’t have anything else to do in the Blacksmith Hall after finishing the third piece of equipment. With that being said, he didn’t waste time and immediately went to the Teleport Formation Hall. Sure enough, he didn’t have to pay anything before he was teleported away.
Of course, Rean made sure to use a different appearance once he arrived in the city with the teleport formation. Also, Rean wasn’t exactly teleported to the closest city. Instead, he arrived somewhere else and then hid the fact he was part of the Sacred Land. Then, he paid with Divine Stones to be teleported to the closest city to Cosgles village.
Aien was in doubt if Rean would ever come back, but he did keep the Earth’s Remnants, just like Rean instructed. Seeing Rean appearing after a few months really made him ecstatic. The same could be said for the rest of the village members. “So you weren’t lying. You really came back.” Rean’s Divine Stones were of great help to the village, so they obviously took a liking to him.
Rean laughed as he patted Aien’s shoulder, saying, “Hahaha! How could I not? Didn’t I tell you? Your Earth’s Remnants are way too important for me. However, make sure you keep it a secret, understood?”
Aien didn’t mind. Many people, including members from the Blacksmith Guild, saw his village’s Earth’s Remnants, but they didn’t find any use for it. The last thing he needed was for Rean to stop buying it from them because he opened his mouth. “Don’t worry. I’ll keep my word.”
Rean nodded, satisfied. “Now then, since you were not throwing the Earth’s Remnants out anymore, how much of it did you gather?”
Aien smiled and asked one of his village members to bring a huge sack. “Hehe! With the last Divine Stones you gave us, we were able to use it to cultivate our best village members much more efficiently. As a result, they ended up gathering a lot more Earth’s Remnants.”
Rean’s eyes lit up as he measured the weight of the sack. “Wow! You got 21 kilos in just these few months! I can make at least ten pieces of equipment with all of this.”
Rean immediately took out the Divine Stones from the Dimensional Realm, and he even threw a bonus over. “Here, I’m also giving you 10 Rank Two Divine Stones as a gift for your loyalty.”
“What?!” Aien’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he felt the ridiculous amount of Divine Energy coming from those ten stones. “This…this is too much! We can’t accept it.”
Rean pulled Aien’s hand over and put the stones there. “If I’m telling you you deserve it, it’s because you really deserve it. Believe me, I’m doing a lot more because of your Earth’s Remnants.”
Aien was happy that Rean felt like this about him and his village. However, he still pushed the stones back to Rean, saying, “We can’t accept it. It’s not that we don’t want to, but that it would only cause trouble.”
“Cause trouble?” Rean became puzzled. “Do you mean it’ll generate internal strife?”
Hearing Rean’s words made the other village members narrow their eyes in response. Obviously, they didn’t like what Rean said. Of course, Aien understood why Rean thought like that, as it was a normal thing in the Realm of Gods. “Calm down, everyone. You should know how the world outside is, so it makes sense that Sir Rean had such ideas.”
After that, Aien looked back at Rean and said, “That’s not it. I can vouch that no one in our village would try to steal it for their own good. We are Cosgles, who can’t leave this place for obvious reasons. If we dare to think about something like internal strife, we’re basically dooming our village to extinction.”
Rean couldn’t help but show an apologetic expression. “Sorry, everyone. I have misspoken.”
Seeing Rean’s sincere actions eased the mood immediately.
In any case, he was still confused, so he asked, “Then, what’s the reason?”
