Chapter 1305 – Looking For
Rean wasn't an idiot. He knew that the story he invented about being lovers with Maeralya was the thing that led to this outcome. 'Fuck those guys! No wonder Maeralya wanted to leave them.'
Roan glanced at him before asking, 'You aren't thinking that you're the one at fault, are you?'
Rean shook his head, saying in response, 'Of course not! I won't feel guilty for something I didn't do. Who the hell would kill billions of people just to keep some weird story under wraps? First of all, no one would believe us unless we used Soul Binding Contracts. It was their fault, not mine. However, I do feel angry that my plan to get away from the war zone was used as a reason to do this.'
Roan was satisfied to hear that. 'As long as you understand that, then it's fine. However, you should know that there's nothing we can do about it. Simply put, we're too weak to face off against a behemoth like that.' Roan then turned around and went back to Kentucky. 'Since this city is gone, we need to find another one. Let's go.'
Rean nodded. 'Fine. Let me ask the guy first.' He then calmed down and asked the cultivator, "Brother, we need to find an intact city to resupply. Do you know which one is the closest?"
"Wasxi City is the closest one. You can find it by traveling northwest. I can see that you have your own Demon Bird, a Stage Seven one at that. It shouldn't take more than a few weeks to get there," he responded.
"Thank you, brother. By the way, did the people who raze these cities to the ground at least tell why they did it?"
It was then that the guy took a jade slip from his spatial ring and threw it at Rean. "Check inside."
Rean quickly sent his Divine Sense into the jade slip and saw his own image together with Roan's. Well, the ones on the jade slip were the fake appearances they were using back in the army. Naturally, they now took on a different appearance. However, all it said was that anyone who could find him and Roan should report to the Mercenary Guild. It didn't mention who was the power behind the task. The Croste Clan really didn't want others to associate them with the destruction of these cities.
The guy then explained, "These jade slips have been distributed in the many cities close to these destroyed areas for quite some time now. However, it doesn't seem like anyone found these guys. Everyone believes the cities were destroyed because some big power was looking for them."
Rean sighed in response. "That's really crazy." He then threw the jade slip back to the guy. "Thank you once again, brother." Right after that, Rean went back to Kentucky before the Minokawa took to the skies once more.
Roan then warned Rean, "Just forget about it, at least for now. There might be a day you can do something, but that day's not today."
"I know." Rean agreed with Roan. "Let's head to the Galanmord Region and find the Lost Star Realm."
It would take a few weeks for a normal Stage Seven Demon Bird to make that travel to the next intact city. However, Kentucky was much stronger than an average one. For him, it took only a week and a half to fly all the way. Eventually, they saw the big walls of Wasxi City.
However, just as Rean and Roan were about to enter through the skies, the city guards immediately stopped them. "Halt! Come down right now, or you will be considered an enemy of the city."
Naturally, the twins descended before Rean took his Beast Tamer Guild badge out, saying, "Brother, I'm part of the Beast Tamer Guild. Shouldn't we have a free pass into the city?"
The guard nodded, saying, "In normal circumstances, that would be the case. However, after what happened to the cities nearby, we're not willing to take any risks. Can I see your badge?"
Rean nodded and passed it over. Unlike the ID Rean and Roan used in the army, the Beast Tamer Guild badge was different. The guild existed in the whole Realm of Gods, so their badges were the same anywhere. Naturally, Rean's name was different in there. Roan also passed his own badge, as he joined the guild together with Rean back them.
After checking that the badges were legitimate, the twins' appearance, and their cultivation, the guard finally accepted them. "Very well. Before you go, have you seen these people?"
The guard then threw a jade slip, which was the same Rean saw before in the destroyed city. Naturally, he and Roan simply shook their heads before the guard let them go.
"They're really putting a lot of effort to look for us, aren't they?" Rean could not help but say.
Roan didn't seem to mind, though. "Forget it. Once we take the teleport formations to head somewhere else, these jade slips should stop appearing."
Kentucky then landed in an inconspicuous place before he was unwillingly sent back into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Rean promised him that it was only during the time they were using the teleport formations. After all, it would cost more to teleport Kentucky and themselves.
However, before they continued, Roan decided to enter the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm as well. "They're looking for two brothers. Although we look different both in appearance and cultivation, someone might feel suspicious. You go ahead and teleport between the cities on your own. I'll come out once you have teleported all the way to Trimazo Country in Galanmord Region."
Rean didn't mind it. "Sure. It will also save us a lot of Divine Stones if I'm the only one using it. However, there are definitely hundreds of cities, maybe thousands, before I teleport all the way to Galanmord. Since I'm also using the group teleports, I will probably take several weeks to arrive."
Roan nodded after hearing that. "So be it. I'll just cultivate during then."
With a plan of action in mind, Roan also entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm before Rean headed to the Formation Guild.
