Death… And Me

Chapter 1605 Recruiting More

Fortunately, it turned out that Aefer wasnʼt like Pol Continent. In fact, it was even smaller than Huring. The only doubt they had now was why cities were so separated from each other and smaller. It made sense that this was the case in Pol Continent. After all, the only places where one could build a city outside the water were on the islands. Naturally, this place had no issue. Other than a few rivers and giant lakes, pretty much everything was covered by land.

ʼI found out why,ʼ Suddenly, Roan contacted Rean, telling him, ʼThatʼs because this is a continent similar to Pol Continent. It isnʼt dominated by humanoid races but demon beasts instead. That explains the huge amount of demon beast territories we passed through until we reached this city.ʼ

Rean immediately had an idea, suggesting, ʼIn that case, we might as well take the chance to fill up the demon beast forest inside our Dimensional Realm.ʼ

Roan nodded in agreement. ʼI also thought the same. But first, Iʼll teleport to the capital of this country. I would get better information about the demon beastsʼ territories around there. I intend to enter a territory with a wide variety of demon beasts.ʼ

Rean couldnʼt help but ask after that, ʼHow many teleports would it take to reach the capital? And what are their prices?ʼ

Roan shook his head. ʼThe prices we will only find out when we arrive at each city. However, the number of teleports necessary is easier to discover. The capital is only six teleports away from here. Itʼs just that instead of going northwest, we will need to go north.ʼ

Rean sighed in relief after that. ʼIt seems like the number of teleports we need to cross Aefer will be around a tenth or less than we did in the other continents. Of course, except Pol Continent.ʼ

Rean then returned to his Formations Repository. ʼAnyway, Iʼll leave the travel up to you. Once Luan finishes his jobs in the city, you can just bring us over.ʼ

Roan didnʼt mind. ʼIʼll stick in this city for a week. That should be enough for Luan to finish everything I prepared for him. We will depart straight away after that.ʼ

Everything went according to the plan, and a week later, Roan left the city through the teleport formation. As for the teleport to the capital, it took a lot longer. Itʼs not that Roan couldnʼt teleport, but that the cities had their specific times where they activated the teleport formations. Teleport formations that sent one much further away needed higher maintenance, so it wasnʼt worth teleporting a single person or two every time. Instead, they activated once per week to send and receive the guildʼs customers in a single go. Depending on the day he arrived at each city, he had to wait a full week or a few days until he could teleport again.

That wasnʼt all bad, though. Rean and Roan took those opportunities to go around the city to look for new members for the System Sect. The cities werenʼt anywhere close to the size of the other continents except Pol, but they still recruited another two hundred people or so before reaching the capital.

”Father, do I still need to take those tasks?” Luan asked with a serious expression. ”I feel like theyʼre starting to be a waste of time.”

Roan had to admit that Luan was maturing very fast. Around a month ago, he even stopped calling Roan dad and used father instead. Well, even if Luan called him by his name, Roan wouldnʼt care. ”Thereʼs no need. You will be joining the other members of the System Sect that will be hunting demon beasts.”

”So weʼre finally starting to fill the demon beast forest that uncle Celis created, huh?” Luan obviously knew about that plan.

”Correct,” Roan nodded in response. ”That will be a good test of your own strength since you canʼt kill or permanently cripple any of the demon beasts you capture. In your case, I will not accept any demon beast below Stage Five, understood? Also, you have to capture at least five demon beasts at Stage Six.” Stage Six Demon Beasts were equivalent to average Soul Transformation Realm cultivators. Then again, Luan had a First Grade Star Body and Roanʼs tailored cultivation technique and training.

Luan finally showed an excited expression after that. ”Yes, father. Iʼll show you I can definitely answer your expectations.”

Roan was satisfied with the answer. ”Very good. However, try to not turn out as I did before. Even I ended up getting weary after so much trouble, so let me know if you start feeling the same way. Rest is also important for oneʼs training.” He did it for Luan and himself. Luan was turning out to be someone who knew how to act and almost never gave him any problems. That kind of behavior was something Roan liked very much, so he kind of got a little attached to the kid. Well, he was a teenager right now.

Luan, after this long, could also tell that Roan cared about him in his own way. Since he already liked Roan to start with, that only made him more motivated. ʼItʼs kind of say heʼll never say such things with his words,ʼ Luan thought for a moment. Soon after, he agreed with Roan. ”Yes, father. Thereʼs no need to worry. I donʼt feel tired or weary at all.”

With that said, Rean came out of the Dimensional Realm once again. Not only him, but they also brought a few other people from the sect out. Hage, Marcela, Fosxin, Tatiana, Hurian, Jessica, Leonardo... basically, all the people who got high average scores on the test back then. In fact, they also pulled out Elianaʼs builder group.

”Alright, itʼs time for you guys to give some help as well. From now on, when we stop at some big city, we will recruit people for our System Sect. The rules are the same ones we used for all of you, so make sure the other party knows what they need. Do you understand?”

Everyone nodded. If anything, they were happy they could come out for a while... not that they couldnʼt before. Itʼs just that they would need to leave the sect, which they definitely didnʼt want to.

After that, they all separated to start recruiting once again.
