Death... and me

Naturally, the twins would head back to the Lukimira Sect first so that they could get Kentucky. They more or less decided to take the same route back and stop at the nearest city from Erqs Forest to leave Fatax and Eminia there. "Well then, I wish you two good luck. Remember, try to change your appearance to something else before leaving the Kamos Kingdom. It will give you the best chances in the future."

Fatax and Eminia immediately nodded in response as Eminia thanked the two. "We understand. Rean, Roan, thank you for your help."

Roan just nodded while Rean laughed. "Hahaha! I have to thank you as well. This journey was a lot more interesting because of the two of you. Besides, the information regarding the Fallen Light Star Fragments was very important."

Eminia pondered in silence for a bit before taking out a jade slip from her spatial ring. Following that, she used her Divine Sense to save some information inside. "Here, take this. I have poured Matriarch Langara's memories from the time she visited that deadly place. Chances are most of the places have changed now, but it might still be of some use for you."

Rean quickly took the jade slip as he flashed a smile at Eminia. "Great! Any help is more than welcome. Now then, goodbye!"

With that, the group bade their farewells before Rean and Roan took flight with Rascal once again. As for Fatax and Eminia, who knows what they would do from now on...

On their way back, Roan asked Rean to change their route slightly. "Last time, we avoided Werlin City since we were in a hurry to reach Erqs Forest. This time, try to stop there."

Rean knew from where Roan was coming from. "It's the biggest city on our way back to Lukimira, right? Surely they should have a Royal Office there where we can use our tokens."

Roan nodded in response. "You already have an idea on where to get Light Element materials for your breakthrough to the Elemental Transformation Realm. However, I have no idea where to find Dark Element materials. I guess it's normal for it to be hard as these elements aren't part of the mainstream elements."

Rean didn't mind and asked Rascal to change his flight direction slightly. Just like that, they made their way to Werlin City during the next few weeks. Of course, they kept cultivating and stopping at demon beast territories to train. Naturally, that wasn't all, as Roan didn't want to fight only demon beasts. With that, they often intervened in some cultivators' affairs. As one could imagine, robbery was the main affair. These fights for the sake of training ended up delaying their trip to Werlin by at least four days, not that the twins were in a hurry anyway.

As for cultivation, they could still feel the Divine Energy reaching them through their connection with Celis and Kentucky. Those two weren't holding back at all. Rean and Roan could tell that it wouldn't take more than a few more weeks before they reached the Late Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. It had been only five months and something since the last breakthrough. If it was back in the Mortal Realm, several years still wouldn't be enough for them to achieve something like that.

Eventually, the twins sighted Werlin City's walls in the distance. "Sure enough, it's even bigger." Rean immediately noticed that Werlin City's walls were ridiculously high compared to the 'small' cities like Cosec. Not to mention that the walls spanned even further.

"Since Cosec already has hundreds of millions of humanoid residents, like humans, perhaps this city has over a billion?" Rean wondered. Because of how high and long the walls were, Rean and Roan could see it from much further away. Obviously, they could already see many cultivators, caravans, as well as flying and terrestrial-tamed demon beasts entering and exiting from it.

Fortunately, they didn't need to queue in front of the many gates of the city. Since they were part of the Beast Tamer Guild, they could enter for free and through the skies since they had a flying demon beast. Well, they stopped on the top of the wall to ask the guards there where the Demon Beast Taming Guild Branch of Werlin City was located first.

After leaving Rascal to be taken care of by the guild members, Rean and Roan made their way out of the city before heading to the Royal Office. Their Royal Family Token made everything much easier as well.

As they were at the entrance of the Office, the Royal Family Office in Werlin City was definitely worthy of its name. There were huge queues with thousands of people waiting for their turn to reach the counters. As for counters alone, there were definitely a few hundreds of them.

However, the twins didn't enter any of the queues. Since they had Fabio's token, they might as well make use of it. After showing the token to one of the guards there, they were immediately brought to a private room, not having to wait even a second before being attended. "Welcome to Werlin's Royal Office, esteemed friends. I'm the vice manager of this branch, Ricao Sidixa. As you have the Royal Family Token, you have priority here. However, would you mind letting me check the token first? This is all part of our security measures."

Rean nodded after hearing that. "No problem at all," Rean replied as he passed the token to Ricao.

Ricao then put the token on something that looked like a formation, which activated straight away. Seeing that, Ricao nodded in satisfaction as he told them, "It's genuine. Thank you for your patience, friends." It was then that he noticed something else. "Oh! It seems like there is a message for you as well."

"A message?" Rean and Roan asked.

Ricao quickly took a jade slip and put it on the formation. A stream of energy entered it right after before Ricao retrieved it. "Here you go. Only those whose the message is destined to are allowed to check it, so I don't know what's inside."

Rean and Roan didn't need to think much to know that it was Fabio who had left it to be delivered. "Since Fabio didn't use the Thoughts Transmission Talisman he left with us, it shouldn't be anything urgent."
