Death... and me - Chapter 2940: Grand Arrival

Things got a little weird in the lower levels of the Gondel Clan. Tubun Tubalcain and his group, the ones Rean and Roan saved in the Parton Sect Territory, reported the events that happened there. The managing people went after these experts of the Clan who were in the area but found nothing regarding Rean and Roan.

When Rosa came back, she was inquired about Rean and Roan… or Tom and Jerry, for that matter. She also told them all she knew, even her friend Sun Urpin. The only thing she didn’t mention was the Sunlight Realm events in the future.

In the end, Tom and Jerry became a mystery. There were no records of Gondel Clan members above the Core and Soul Fusion Realm in that area in the Clan. But then again, it was a fact they were saved by two people with the Gondel Clan attires. The higher-ups couldn’t understand why someone would pretend to be a Gondel Clan member and help their people. The answer never came up.

The days continued to pass, and the royal festival arrived.

Due to the festival in the Royal Capital, all powers were invited, as well as any other smaller organizations, clans, and sects. Naturally, the Gondel Clan was one of such powers since they controlled the Travil Region. Many airships were prepared to take the cultivators to the Royal Capital, and even so, there weren’t enough seats for everyone.

There were also the teleport formations, which, to be fair, was better than using the airships in the case of higher-level experts who could afford them. Yet, there was that thing about a show of power, thus those many airships. Few cultivators truly used the teleport formations… like Rean and Roan.

Qyev City, also known as the Royal Capital. Deep at its center, one could see the gigantic palace that made the Gondel Clan’s one look like a toy. Flying vessels and cultivators could be seen everywhere, and things got more lively every minute. The great Festival started today. *Zush, zush, zush, zush…*

On the east side of the city, you could find a Formations Masters Guild branch. There, one could use one of the hundreds of teleport formations that connected everywhere in the country. Today, however, there are countless times more people and other races arriving than leaving the city.

*Zush, zush!*

One of the teleport formations activated, and soon, two young men appeared together with a few more cultivators. They all wore the attires and the emblem of the Gondel Clan, showing where that formation was connected to. Sure enough, the two young men at the back of the group were Rean and Roan.

“Meh, we could have taken the airships, you know? Kuslau insisted it was a grand event that I shouldn’t miss,” Rean complained with his hands on the back of his head.

“I couldn’t care less about the event,” Roan didn’t share the same thoughts. Let’s just find some hidden place and change our appearances. The last thing we need is for people to bother us because of our ‘low’ cultivation. Besides, if a Transition Realm experts check us closely, he might notice we are just suppressing our power.”

“Fine…” Rean didn’t complain anymore before the two left the Formations Guild. The city’s layout was as advanced as the Gondel Clan, although many times bigger. Circuitry Formations can be seen everywhere and used in many different forms. If Rean didn’t know better, he would definitely think he was in some sci-fi movie from Earth.

The twins quickly found a relatively empty corner and used Rean’s Light and Divine Bending skill to disappear there. Right after, their appearance changed once more, and Roan used another potion to give them a different hair color. This time, they went for a common black. Not the same Black as Roan’s normal hair, which was absolutely pitch black, but a lighter and more common version that one could find anywhere around.

As soon as they finished changing, Rean and Roan released the suppression in their cultivations, showing their Middle Stage Core and Soul Fusion Realm. Yes, during the many days that they had to wait in the Gondel Clan before coming, Rean and Roan got even more Spiritual Stones, which they used to go further in their cultivation. Nonetheless, it was obvious how much slower it was getting.

The first thing they did was to visit a communication device store, or CD store, for short. The ones Rean and Roan were using were issued by the Gondel Clan, and if they suddenly had to provide it for some reason, it would be weird to explain their much higher cultivation. That said, they each bought new ones and registered new names… Asterix and Obelix… Rean seemed to be in a cartoon mood recently.

“Alright, the auction house is near the palace on the south side, city center. The first auction, the one that only Spiritual Stones count, will be tomorrow,” Rean explained.

Roan looked at the crowd around. “What about today? It started today, right?”

Rean nodded. “The idea was to check the Royal Family’s database for the Salite Roots, which we found no clue back in the Gondel Clan. We must use this time to get in the palace and check it ourselves.”

Roan closed his eyes for a moment and then shook his head. “There are quite a few Transition Realm experts in that palace. As good as your Divine Sense Bending skill is, we would still be too close to bend their Spiritual Senses.”

“I know,” Rean thought about that. “Our cultivation is too low, after all. However, there will be an event related to the Royal Family today. It is a little competition, or you could say it is a demonstration of sorts. They call it the Royal Prize Contest. If we win, we will gain access to the palace to gain some rewards. We could use that chance and ask to check their databases. It is worth a try.”

Roan didn’t see why not. “Tell me more.”

Around an hour later, the twins joined a huge crowd in front of the Royal Palace. On the side, many terminals had been prepared for the various cultivators wishing to take part in that competition. Even so, the queues were quite big.

Rean and Roan just joined a random queue and waited for their time. However, just as they were about to register themselves, the sky began to grow dark, and tens of thousands of block spots covered the sun. The crowd looked above, all excited.

“Seems like they arrived,” Rean commented with a smile.

Those were the airships of the fourteen powers controlling the fourteen different regions of the Rusbav Country. Naturally, the twins could identify the airships from the Gondel Clan in

that mix.
