Chapter 2257 Helping Hand
Turns out the price was quite elevated. The Formation could definitely deliver Rean and Kentucky to the other side with around twenty Rank Seven Divine Stones from what Rean could see. Yet, he was charged fifty, which was outrageous. But then again, the Deflace Race wouldn't pay much attention to you, which was why Jeskli told them to come here.
Rean paid the price even though he found it a little too high. He and Kentucky then stepped on the Formation and were just about to teleport away when suddenly, a voice came from the teleport room entrance. "Wait! Don't go yet!"
The formation activation stopped as Rean and Kentucky raised their guards. Perhaps their existence had been found, so they were ready to flee if necessary. Rean saw an old woman desperately coming in his direction, and then...
*Thud!*
She kneeled in front of him and Kentucky. "Please, allow me to accompany you on this travel to the humanoid continents! I'll give you everything I have on me at the moment."
The Formations Master Guild worker obviously noticed that the woman didn't come to pay for the service, so he immediately ordered. "What the hell is happening here? Take her away. She is bothering our customers."
However, Rean raised his hand. "Wait a moment." The reason he did that was because the old woman wasn't a Demon Beast in humanoid form. Instead, she was truly a human. That wasn't a common sight on this side of the territories, which raised his curiosity.
The woman seemed to see a glimmer of hope and kneeled even more deeply. "Please, you can have everything in this Spatial Ring. I just need you to pay for my teleportation as well." She quickly threw a Spatial Ring to Rean.
Rean used his Divine Sense to check the contents. If he was still in the Transition Realm, that Spatial Ring would be quite valuable. There was a weapon and some Rank Five Divine Stones. There were some materials that would be considered quite rare for anyone at the Transition Realm, too.
Considering the old woman was at the Transition Realm herself, she could be considered quite wealthy. Yet, for Rean, who is in the Elemental Space Realm at the moment, those items truly were of little value. In fact, those things couldn't pay for even a half teleportation, let alone all the way to the Humanoid Territories.
'So, who are you? It is quite rare for humans to be found so far from the humanoid territories. Usually, only those with enough resources would travel this distance, and they would definitely be able to pay their way back or perhaps use Spatial Gates to move themselves,' Rean asked her through a Divine Sense message.
The woman nodded and immediately explained. 'I indeed came to these parts because, at that time, my partner had the resources to pay for it. Unfortunately, some things happened to us, and now we are separated. I must go back to resolve some extremely important matters. That's why I'm willing to part with all these things.'
Rean then looked at the worker on the side. "Would that be a problem if she came with us? She did offer some good things." Both Rean and the woman knew it was a lie, but Rean didn't seem to care.
The worker shook his head. "That is not possible, sir. If you want to bring her with you, there is an extra cost of 25 Rank Seven Divine Stones." Since it cost 25 for Rean and Roan, the guy obviously charged another 25.
Rean narrowed his eyes, much to the woman's fear. It was incredibly difficult for anyone to ask to teleport to the humanoid races from this place. Who knows how many years she would have to wait until someone else appeared. By then, perhaps she would have already gathered enough resources on her own, but that would truly take a long time. 'I can do anything you want. Also, if you help bring me back to my clan, I can guarantee you will be properly compensated with more valuable goods than just what you find in this Spatial Ring.'
Rean could simply throw the woman inside his Pocket Dimensional Realm and call it a day. However, he and Kentucky as suppressing their cultivations. Using a Pocket Dimensional Realm might attract unnecessary attention since they aren't that common on the Demon Beasts' side. "Fine, here you go."
In the end, Rean paid another 25 Rank Seven Divine Stones, paying for the woman's teleportation. The worker didn't really know why Rean did that, but that wasn't his problem. As long as he was paid and no problems were created in the Formations Guild, the Deflace Race that controlled the city and managed that guild branch didn't care.
The woman was delighted to hear that and tried to kneel once again. Yet, Rean used his Divine Energy to hold her, stopping her movements. "There is no need to go that far. Besides, kneeling means nothing to me. Just come up on the Formation."
The woman quickly nodded. She stepped into the Formation with Rean and Kentucky as the worker activated the teleportation.
Kentucky obviously had his doubts on the side, so he asked Rean through a Divine Sense Message. 'Why did you help her? It's not like she is weak or in danger. Did you really buy that bullshit? Even I could tell she wasn't telling the truth. At the very least, not all of it.'
Rean smiled in response. 'I know. However, have you noticed? She has quite a familiar aura attached to her body. It is probably another one of the Soul Gem System's Destiny Attraction results.'
Kentucky narrowed his eyes and used his Divine Sense to deeply check the old woman. She did indeed have a different aura attached to herself other than her own. Yet, Kentucky truly couldn't remember having felt it before. 'Well, if that's another event caused by the Destiny Attraction ability, then so be it.'
A moment later, a flash of silver light appeared where they were staying, quickly disappearing together with Rean, Kentucky, and the old woman.
