Chapter 1276 - Try To Find Another Solution
"What about the teleport formations at the City Lord"s mansion? Or maybe the big clans and other organizations?" Rean asked.
The worker pondered for a bit before saying, "Well, I"m not sure. However, with the war still ongoing, I doubt they would let you use their teleport formations."
Roan shook his head after that. "Forget it. It would be too suspicious if two unknown cultivators suddenly appeared at their doorsteps, asking to pay to use the teleport formations. It would look more like we"re some spies or something."
Rean nodded and asked the worker, "Can you tell me what regions are fighting in this war?"
"Have you been living under a rock?" the guy asked back. "Sigh... whatever. Some people just get too focused on their cultivation that they forget the rest of the world." He then proceeded to tell Rean the ten regions currently engaged in a fight.
"Thank you." Following that, the twins left the Formation Guild.
After some time, Rean narrowed his eyes. "The country we are at the moment is at the border of the continent. The same could be said for the region this country is part of. Now, there are ten regions with many countries involved in this war. If all of them have their teleport formations blocked, then we"ll need to make our way through them with Kentucky."
Roan shook his head and told him, "Even with Kentucky"s speed, it would take years to pa.s.s through all the regions. Don"t you remember? Just to go from Cosec to the fairies" territory, we took several months, and we had the Golden Rascol to fly us over. The round trip took over a year. Let alone the fact that we didn"t cross the country. And now, we"re talking about crossing tens of countries as the ten regions are connected to the other."
Roan then took a second look at the map, continuing, "If we take the fastest route, trying to leave the conflict area, we"ll have to pa.s.s through 32 countries. All of them aren"t much different from Kamos as they"re just countries close to the Continental Barrier. Sure, Kentucky is much faster than the Golden Rascol, but we would still take around a year and a few months to cross each country by flying."
Rean sighed, dejected. "What do we do, then? Joining the army is also not a good idea. After all, no one knows about us. We might be discovered as people coming from Huring Continent."
Roan then reached his spatial ring before bringing out two tokens. "That"s not a problem. Etherian gave me these tokens. They"re used in Lanqueas Continent as a way of identification."
Rean was surprised to hear that. "Why would someone like him have these things?"
"Why else?" Roan asked in response. "He probably had times during his travels where he didn"t want to be recognized. These tokens are just fruits of his journey. Well, to be honest, I don"t think these are hard to make with the necessary amount of Divine Stones. It"s just that this isn"t a good time to go look for it because of this annoying war. The countries are probably keeping a very close eye on this kind of shady business to prevent enemies from joining them in bulks."
Rean had to admit it made sense. If not because of the war, they would eventually do something similar. "So... are you saying we should join the army?"
"Do we have any other choice?"
Rean pondered for a bit before saying, "With the amount of Divine Stones we have, I doubt we can"t buy the use of teleport formations."
Roan immediately pointed out three issues with Rean"s idea. "It"s not gonna work. First, we"re just two cultivators at the Initial Stage Saint Realm. What do you think will happen if we suddenly showed Rank Two Divine Stones to gain usage?"
Rean bitterly smiled after hearing that. Chances are that they would be attacked by the seniors of the power they tried to buy their pa.s.sage. Even Rank One Divine Stones were very rare in a small city like this.
Roan continued, "Second, the price. We would only be able to pay for a single teleport formation. Once we arrived at the other side, we would need to find some other power willing to let us teleport even further. Don"t forget that these cities usually only have teleport formations capable of sending you to other nearby cities. None of them would have the power to teleport us straight out of the ten regions. First of all, to use such a teleport formation, Rank Two Divine Stones would be needed. Do you think they would have teleport formations capable of using Rank Two Divine Stones? Even if they had one, we would need to provide the stones, putting us in danger once again."
"Third, let"s supposed we"re lucky enough to find some clan or whatever here willing to keep their side of the deal. What about the destination? Where will they teleport us to? They can only teleport us to some other clan or organization on the other side since the Formation Guild blocked all teleport formations. Would the power that receives us not be interested in the way we paid for to be teleported there?"
Rean finally gave up on taking the financial route. "Alright, alright! I already understand what you mean. In the end, this war f.u.c.ked up everything."
Roan nodded. "I"m not saying there isn"t another solution. But at the moment, joining the army and gaining the merits to use the teleport formation seems the most feasible way for me. In order to gather enough personnel to defend their backs, the countries have definitely put a merit system in play. I would have definitely done that for sure. We can try to use it to gain access to the teleport formations. The best thing is that the army"s teleport formations are all part of the same power. Whatever we can do here, we can do in other places as well."
Rean could only accept that. "Alright. Let"s try to find another solution first.. If we can"t, then we can join the army."
