Death... and me
chapter-1423

The City of Valantior was located in the Guyi Region, one of the regions at the center of the continent. It was only in this city and the surrounding ones that the twins finally began to see cities similar to those in Huring and Lanqueas in size.

Of course, these were supposed to be the biggest cities in the entire continent, while they were just as big as some medium cities in adjacent continents. Valantior had around four hundred million residents, but it was still located in the middle of the desert. With that being said, this city had a gigantic oasis with several islands in the middle.

Even though the oases in Treavin Continent would eventually disappear while others would take form, this one would take a long time. Most predicted that the oasis in this city would still be enough for the entire city for at least another four to five thousand years.

The twins didn't mind that, though. Whether the oasis was there or not didn't matter as long as they could get the information they wanted. On their way to Valantior, the twins had inquired the Formation Guilds they passed by about the best place to gather information. From what they heard, Valantior City was one of the most recommended ones.

One of the various teleport formations in the Formation Guild in the center of the city shone with silver light. Soon after, a small group of five people appeared. It was two young men, a woman, a little boy, and a little girl. Naturally, they were Rean's group. As for Kentucky, he was sent back into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm so that Rean wouldn't spend Divine Stones on him.

One of the workers there saw the arrival of Rean's group and came to greet them. "Hello, friends. Please follow this direction so that you can exit the Formation Guild. If you wish to take another teleport formation, then please head this direction instead to pay for the travel."

Rean smiled in response, asking, "Thank you. Are people like you working in such simple jobs, friend?"

The worker smiled in response, knowing what Rean meant by that. He was just guiding people in this city, but he was already a Saint Realm expert. Usually, one wouldn't find this kind of cultivation in such common jobs. "Sir must be new here. The center of Treavin Continent isn't much different from the cities on the borders. Although the number of crimes is smaller, it isn't something we would dare call safe. With that said, there is no lack of newcomers who arrive already trying to cause trouble, thinking the whole world revolves around them. That's why we have workers like me with this level of cultivation."

Rean nodded in response. "I see... the average cultivation level in this city should be quite high too, then."

The worker confirmed Rean's words. "Indeed. Would sir mind telling me what your cultivation level is? I can see the woman and the two kids' cultivation, but you are too high for my perception."

Rean pointed at himself and Roan before saying, "We are both at the Peak Stage of the Elemental Transformation Realm."

"Very well," said the worker. "Sirs must be careful in Valantior City. I'm sure your cultivation gave you a lot of 'liberties' in the place you came from. However, even though this is still a very high level of cultivation in Valantior, which would definitely open many doors, it won't give you the freedom to do whatever you want."

Rean's group nodded in response as the twins once again were made aware of the difference between Treavin and Huring or Lanqueas. Valantior was supposed to be one of the biggest cities in the Treavin Continent. However, back in Huring and Lanqueas, the biggest cities would have countless Transition Realm experts, and they weren't considered anything special. Here in Valantior, one could already be considered a top expert even before that realm.

"We understand. In any case, we have no intention to cause any trouble here in Valantior," Rean told the worker.

The worker was satisfied with Rean's courteousness. It was rare for people of his level to treat others that friendly. Especially since Rean looked very young, which meant he was definitely one of those geniuses. "That's very good, sir. Since we're already at this, I might as well give you some information. Is there something you might be looking for? I might be able to help."

Rean was obviously happy to hear that, responding, "As a matter of fact, we are indeed looking for something. Do you know where we can get information about the other continents surrounding Treavin? I heard this city would be one of the best places to inquire about such things."

"You are correct," confirmed the worker. "Once you go outside, look for a place called the Vulture Organization. Although selling information isn't exactly their main business, the organization is definitely one of the best places to buy it. Just be aware that it might be somewhat expensive, so just head there once you have prepared a sizeable amount of Divine Stones."

Rean obviously had no issues with that. "Thank you, friend. We will be on our way, then."

Following the path the worker indicated, the twins quickly exited the Formation Guild. "Now then, do you guys want to do anything here, or should we head straight to the Vulture Organization?"

It was then that Rafatia complained. "Mommy, I wanna sleep."

Rafatia sighed as she shrugged her shoulders. "Well, we have been traveling nonstop, after all. I'm sorry, Rean, Roan. Would you mind if my daughter and I stop for a moment somewhere?"

Rean shook his head, saying, "No problem... unless the ice block finds it too bothersome."

Roan glanced at Rean before saying, "Sleeping is a very important part of one's training. Deprivation of sleep can even hinder your cultivation speed. You and I don't need to sleep anymore due to our cultivation, but it's not the same for them. Look, Luan is also nearing his limit. Why would I be against it?"

Roan then grabbed Luan and threw him towards Rean, telling him, "You go ahead and find a place for them to rest.. As for me, I'll do my job and look for the information we need."
