Death… And Me

Chapter 1907 There is always a way

”Alright, alright! Iʼm here to give you the latest news within the demon beastsʼ territory,” said Zuo as he entered the cave. ”Itʼs quite hard to obtain any information from the demon beasts as they arenʼt exactly good at spreading it. From the looks of it, the demon beasts still havenʼt found Qia and Calina as the posters continue to be renewed.”

Qia sighed in response. ”Of course, they havenʼt! Arenʼt both of us right in front of you?”

Calina shook her head, clarifying, ”Zuo is probably saying that there werenʼt other Qias or Calinas traveling together that had been captured. At the very least, not the Qia and Calina the demon beasts want.”

”Exactly!” Zuo nodded in agreement. ”The longer the posters continue to stay, the higher the chances that youʼre the girls theyʼre looking for.”

”What about Vrix Race City? A few of the demon beasts there heard our name while we were staying there. Is no one looking for us in that city?” Calina took the chance to ask. ”There were even some who saw you with us, so wasnʼt anyone looking for you?”

Zuo shook his head, telling her, ”I didnʼt feel like it was the case, at least. In the end, this is a hub city where quite a few people from the humanoid race pass by. I can only guess that no one paid attention to your names or the fact that I was with you. Otherwise, things wouldnʼt look that calm over there.”

Qia then added, ”If theyʼre looking for us, thatʼs most likely because theyʼre looking for Rean and Roan. I canʼt think of any other reason since weʼve never done anything that would warrant a search for us.”

”What if it was Rean and Roan who started the search, though?” Calina also had her ideas.

However, Zuo and Qia didnʼt think that to be the case. ”If it was really them, it wouldnʼt be a search for people with just our names. It would have information about our appearance, Zuo, Red, etc. However, only our names are present, which shows that things arenʼt that simple.”

”We canʼt stay here forever,” Calina still insisted. ”Neither the twins nor we will ever find each other. We must find a way to spread the news about us without anyone finding our names.”

Qia and Zuo could only sigh after that. ”Oh, yeah? Then how should we do that?”

”This...” Calina had no answer.

That was exactly the same problem the twins were having. Roan had taken the super long-distance teleport formation a few times and teleported all the way to the center of the continent. But even with that, the same posters could be found there as well.F

ʼSo, how do we put up a search for those two girls without looking like weʼre looking for them? Above all, a search that can reach the entire demon beastsʼ territory?ʼ Rean asked.

[I have an idea.] Sister Orb suddenly intervened. [We know that these posters were put out after what happened in the Free Continent, right? Itʼs obvious that the demon beasts here wish to find you two. Or, to be more specific, Rean, Havek, and the other Formation Masters of the System Sect. Weʼre already in the demon beastsʼ territory, so why donʼt we just give ourselves to them?]

Rean understood where Sister Orb was coming from. ʼUse the demon beasts to do a more detailed search, huh? In exchange, we can do what they want. It does look like a good idea. However, what if they donʼt want our knowledge about formations? What if they want us dead instead? Wouldnʼt we be delivering ourselves to our death?ʼ

Roan narrowed his eyes for a moment before changing his direction. He was heading straight to the building listed in those posters for those who had information about Calina and Qia. ʼLetʼs do as Sister Orb says.ʼ

Rean was taken aback. ʼReally?! What if I am right?ʼ

Roan shook his head. ʼI told you before, didnʼt I? If the posters donʼt have any more specific information, it means the girls are hiding quite well if theyʼre still alive. If thatʼs the case, forget about ever finding them in a place as big as the Realm of Gods. Our best bet is to form a trade with the demon beasts and spread more detailed information. Donʼt forget that Zuo and Red were also with them, so they should be able to help when the new information comes out.ʼ Obviously, there was no way for Roan to know that Red had stayed behind in his race. Fortunately, Zuo was indeed together with the girls.

[Itʼs too difficult for information to spread through the demon beastsʼ territory. Look at these posters. Theyʼre all about the two girls. The few others that exist are most likely spread by powerful demon beasts for other matters. Just how much power do you need to spread this kind of information throughout the demon beastsʼ territory? I donʼt think this is a problem of how rich you are, but how important your position in the demon beast races is.]

Roan agreed with Sister Orb. ʼExactly. All the other requests were some incredibly difficult things that only those with power would be able to spread. Of course, not counting requests made in the cities themselves, but those are marked as local requests anyway, so itʼs easy to tell them apart. We canʼt do the same thing even if we have the necessary Divine Stones. Itʼs not about wealth. If we want to spread the information about the girls to find them, we need to be related to these powerful demon beasts at the very least.ʼ

ʼSo much for trying to stay hidden all this time...ʼ Rean couldnʼt help but murmur.

Kentucky also heard that conversation, though. ʼErrr... thatʼs good and all. However, what will we do after getting the two of them back? Live in the demon beastsʼ territory forever? Thatʼs considering they really donʼt wish to kill you.ʼ

As mentioned before, the twins still needed to travel everywhere to find the fragments. If not for the girls, Rean and Roan would probably be heading to the so-called Floating Islands of Time by now. Yet, Roan just shrugged his shoulders in response. ʼThereʼs always a way. Donʼt worry, the demon beasts wonʼt be the only ones to appear after I show myself.ʼ
