Death... and me

Chapter 1485 – Map

Gigi immediately shook his head, telling Rean, “If you’re not an idiot, you should have inquired about it in the city already. Although there are a few exceptions, the humanoid races are prohibited from using teleport formations.”

Rean couldn’t help but ask, “What if I pay for all the materials of the teleport formation?”

“Hahaha!” Gigi laughed out loud in response. “Sure, the teleport formation is expensive. However, do you think the Sacred Undersea Kingdom lacks resources for it? Paying for it won’t make any difference. That’s why we’re even paying for the construction of the formation.”

Rean sighed in resignation. “Is there really no way to use the teleport formations?”

“Why do you even need it?” Gigi asked. “Do you want a better life in the center of the continent? Just so you know, there are barely any islands in the center of the continent. Although the concentration of Divine Energy is higher, things there aren’t much different for the humanoid races than they’re here. Just enjoy the fact you were able to leave Treavin and cultivate quietly here.”

Rean wanted to say that he wasn’t going to stay in the Pol Continent. However, he decided it was better to not tell that much. Instead, he used his Soul Connection with Roan to see if he had any idea. ‘I don’t know. Just tell Gigi you want to meet a family member or whatever.’

‘There’s no way such an excuse would work.’ Rean obviously didn’t like the idea.

Then again, it wasn’t as if he had any better one. “Ahem… my father came to this continent a long time ago. From what my brother and I know, he definitely traveled to the center of the continent. We wanted to go meet him.”

Gigi shook his head, adamant in his decision. “Then you better cultivate to the Transition Realm and fly there by yourself. There will be no teleport formation for you and your brother. However, if you have some other requests, I can listen to them. I was planning to pay you with Divine Stones for the teleport formation, but I can make an exception and provide you something else.”

Rean pondered over it for a bit when an idea popped into his mind. “Oh! Since that’s the case, would Senior at least provide me with a map to get to the center of the continent? I looked around, but they don’t have such maps here.”

Abriu, the City Lord, shook his head, saying, “It’s not that we don’t have them, but only a few have access to it. I’m one of those people who have such maps. Sir Gigi, I wouldn’t mind providing a copy of my map if you’re okay with it.”

Gigi didn’t seem to care. “Sure. No one will stop you from traveling there on your own.” Well, the main reason was that Gigi knew Abriu’s maps didn’t have anything of concern marked. It was basically a map of the known undersea cities and the inhabited islands. If it was his own map, then he would have to refuse or at least modify the copy he would make for Rean.

Roan was obviously listening to everything through the twins’ soul connection. ‘That’s definitely a good idea. If teleport formations are really impossible, at least we know the path we should take. Besides, nothing stops us from trying to get a teleport formation in other undersea cities.’

Rean agreed with Roan before looking back at Gigi, saying, “Thank you, sir. Should I depart now? I would like to build the formation as fast as possible.”

In fact, Rean wanted to furtively use that teleport formation he was going to build. However, the risk was way too big. After all, even if he wasn’t stopped, he didn’t know what to expect on the other side. Not to mention he had to take Falangia and Rafatia as well.

Gigi nodded in response. “Go. You should already know where the Under Desert Sea is located since you came from there. After that, Gigi passed Rean a token, telling him, “If any aquatic demon beast in the Transition Realm or above tries to stop you, just show it to them. That’ll be enough for them to leave you alone. By the way, do you have any means of transportation, or do you need me to arrange one for you?”

Rean was surprised to hear that, asking, “Senior isn’t coming with me?”

“I have other things to take care of. Don’t worry. There will be someone else waiting for you at the Under Desert Sea’s exit,” Gigi explained. Naturally, it was one of his subordinates. As for Gigi himself, he had to go back to the Sacred Undersea Kingdom first. One must remember that Gigi had decided with the others that they would go back to tell the Undersea God as to what happened. He only stopped at Utari to have the construction of the teleport formation started.

Rean nodded in the end. “Don’t worry, sir. I came to Pol Continent with my own Demon Bird. I can use him to fly back to the entrance.”

“Very well.” Gigi was satisfied. He then looked back at Abriu and said, “I’m not sure if I’ll be back by the time he finishes the teleport formation. If he happens to complete it before then, just give him the map as his reward.”

Abriu obviously wouldn’t defy Gigi’s orders. “As you wish.”

Gigi didn’t stay to talk any longer, though. “Alright, I’m leaving. You better not try to escape with the items in the spatial ring. I can guarantee you we can find you if we really need to.” Without waiting for Rean to answer, Gigi disappeared from the room.

Only Rean and Abriu remained after that. “Rean, right? To be honest, you should stay and cultivate first. Someone with your talent has a bright future ahead. I wouldn’t recommend venturing across the Pol Continent’s seas at your level.”

Rean smiled in response. The city lord wasn’t half bad. “The Guild Master of the Formation Guild told me the same thing. Still, I need to go.” Rean then turned around after that. “I’m going ahead too. If senior needs anything, let me know..” With that, Rean left the City Lord’s mansion and met up with Kentucky before flying away from Utari City.
