Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 568 - Death Style Training

Calina and Qia didn't understand why those three were that shocked, so they ignored it. Instead, they asked something else.

"How are you going into the city? Are you going with Rean and Frandin again? Even if you bring Frandin together, would that be enough for you to enter the Alchemist, Formations, and Blacksmith Guilds? Chances are high that they won't allow humans inside, you know?"

Rean and Roan had to admit that the two girls were right.

"Hmm... to get access to those things, we would need a Zasfin who can at least reach the Earth Low-Level of each side occupation."

Rean and Roan then put one hand on Frandin's shoulders.

"We're counting on you."

Frandin felt like he had heard wrongly.

"What?! Me? But I know nothing about any of that."

Rean laughed, not minding it at all.

"Hahaha! It's fine, it's fine. I'll teach you the basics of forging, so it will be easy for you to become an Earth Low-Level Blacksmith. I believe Roan and Qia will have no problem teaching you the basics for a Formation Master and an Alchemist as well."

Agis immediately raised his hands.

"There's me as well. I'll teach Frandin the basics of Talisman Drawing."

Frandin couldn't help but sweat a little. It's very hard for a cultivator to have more than one side occupation. Now, they want him to practice four at once! Even if he succeeded in reaching the Earth Low-Level, he wouldn't be able to train all of them forever.

'Oh, well. They just want me to obtain access to the repositories of the guilds and bring the information from there. Perhaps I can bring one of them inside as if they were my slave again.'

Frandin decided to accept his fate since he was at least receiving Rank Two Spirit Stones now.

"Okay, that's enough for now. We can teach him the basics of each profession on the way. Now, let's make our way to Kastran."

"By the way, where is Kastran?"

Rean then pointed it out in the Jade Slip.

"It's in the next country to the west, Lacal. It's also on our way to Tuvaro, so it's convenient. Lacal is similar to Lumeria, a gathering hub for cultivators who wish to enter the Lacal Frozen Demon Beast Forest."

As Malaka looked at the map, she couldn't help but comment.

"How come the distances between each city are so big?"

Roan explained that.

"That's because the environment on this planet is incredibly harsh. That being said, the development of life here is several times slower. There are a lot less people here than there were in Sunkan. Not only that, but this planet is also bigger than Sunkan. Naturally, with fewer people and bigger space, the number of cities are lower. At the same time, the distances between each of them are farther."

Qia and the others nodded since that made sense.

"Alright, as per our agreement, we will separate into two groups while traveling so that we can optimize our training."

"Oh! Which group will Frandin be a part of?"

Frandin still didn't know anything about the Dimensional Realm, so they couldn't put him there.

Frandin couldn't help but look at Rean. He definitely didn't want to be on Roan's group.

Unfortunately for him, the world wanted him to suffer.

"It's relatively easy to teach him alchemy since I have the tools necessary with me. In that case, he will be staying in my group for the time being. Besides, Qia's at the same level as Rean in Formations. She can also teach him if he's free."

Frandin sighed, knowing that there was no escape from this.

With that, everyone nodded and departed straight away. As mentioned before, Rean and Roan kept a distance of close to 3000 kilometers between them so that their link wouldn't break. In the end, the planet was a lot more empty than Sunkan. After they left the Demon Beast Region close to Lumeria, they rarely encountered others.

On the other hand, they did find a few Zasfins. After seeing their group, those Zasfins tried to capture Rean and Roan's groups. Of course, the ones who received more of this type of problem were Rean's group. After all, Frandin could pretend to be the owner of Roan's group. His Rank Two Bloodline Mark still had some authority.

Well, the groups that tried to capture Rean, Calina, and Agis shouldn't have done that, though. They showed no mercy with their attacks, so Rean, Calina, and Agis didn't show any mercy either. When they finally understood just how stronger Rean's group was, it was too late. Rean and the others made sure that none escaped alive. After all, it was still better to prevent rumors from spreading. Not to mention that Rean, Calina, and Agis didn't think those guys would be lenient to other humans.

There was a good thing in receiving those attacks, though. Those who could usually travel between cities had good cultivations. There were even three groups with a few Core Formation Realm cultivators, which turned out to be good challenges for them. Besides, such groups always carried good spoils.

Rean had spent around 4500 Rank Two Spirit Stones for everything in Lumeria City, leaving his group with more or less 3000 stones in total for cultivation. But on the way to Kastran City, their small fortune had increased to over 5000! And that was already excluding the Rank Two Spirit Stones they used for cultivation.

Eventually, Rean and the others arrived in Lacal Country a month and three days later. Kastran City was now just a few days away from them. Because their destination was so close, Roan once again met up with Rean's group. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on (f)ir(e).nᴇt

"You could take this chance to teach Frandin about forging in the next few days."

Rean shook his head as he said.

"I lack the tools for that. I will need to rent another workshop before doing that. I might as well buy everything and put it all in the Dimensional Realm."

It was then that Rean noticed Frandin's cultivation.

"Oh! You broke through to the Middle Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Congratulations."

However, Frandin didn't seem happy at all. Instead, the guy was so tired that he was on the verge of passing out.

"Hehe... Thanks..."

Rean then looked at Malaka and Qia, who didn't look much better. Immediately, he understood.

'That's the Death Style Training for you...'
