Chapter 1907 There is always a way
"Alright, alright! I'm here to give you the latest news within the demon beasts' territory," said Zuo as he entered the cave. "It's quite hard to obtain any information from the demon beasts as they aren't exactly good at spreading it. From the looks of it, the demon beasts still haven't found Qia and Calina as the posters continue to be renewed."
Qia sighed in response. "Of course, they haven't! Aren't both of us right in front of you?"
Calina shook her head, clarifying, "Zuo is probably saying that there weren't other Qias or Calinas traveling together that had been captured. At the very least, not the Qia and Calina the demon beasts want."
"Exactly!" Zuo nodded in agreement. "The longer the posters continue to stay, the higher the chances that you're the girls they're looking for."
"What about Vrix Race City? A few of the demon beasts there heard our name while we were staying there. Is no one looking for us in that city?" Calina took the chance to ask. "There were even some who saw you with us, so wasn't anyone looking for you?"
Zuo shook his head, telling her, "I didn't feel like it was the case, at least. In the end, this is a hub city where quite a few people from the humanoid race pass by. I can only guess that no one paid attention to your names or the fact that I was with you. Otherwise, things wouldn't look that calm over there."
Qia then added, "If they're looking for us, that's most likely because they're looking for Rean and Roan. I can't think of any other reason since we've never done anything that would warrant a search for us."
"What if it was Rean and Roan who started the search, though?" Calina also had her ideas.
However, Zuo and Qia didn't think that to be the case. "If it was really them, it wouldn't be a search for people with just our names. It would have information about our appearance, Zuo, Red, etc. However, only our names are present, which shows that things aren't that simple."
"We can't stay here forever," Calina still insisted. "Neither the twins nor we will ever find each other. We must find a way to spread the news about us without anyone finding our names."
Qia and Zuo could only sigh after that. "Oh, yeah? Then how should we do that?"
"This..." Calina had no answer.
That was exactly the same problem the twins were having. Roan had taken the super long-distance teleport formation a few times and teleported all the way to the center of the continent. But even with that, the same posters could be found there as well.F
'So, how do we put up a search for those two girls without looking like we're looking for them? Above all, a search that can reach the entire demon beasts' territory?' Rean asked.
[I have an idea.] Sister Orb suddenly intervened. [We know that these posters were put out after what happened in the Free Continent, right? It's obvious that the demon beasts here wish to find you two. Or, to be more specific, Rean, Havek, and the other Formation Masters of the System Sect. We're already in the demon beasts' territory, so why don't we just give ourselves to them?]
Rean understood where Sister Orb was coming from. 'Use the demon beasts to do a more detailed search, huh? In exchange, we can do what they want. It does look like a good idea. However, what if they don't want our knowledge about formations? What if they want us dead instead? Wouldn't we be delivering ourselves to our death?'
Roan narrowed his eyes for a moment before changing his direction. He was heading straight to the building listed in those posters for those who had information about Calina and Qia. 'Let's do as Sister Orb says.'
Rean was taken aback. 'Really?! What if I am right?'
Roan shook his head. 'I told you before, didn't I? If the posters don't have any more specific information, it means the girls are hiding quite well if they're still alive. If that's the case, forget about ever finding them in a place as big as the Realm of Gods. Our best bet is to form a trade with the demon beasts and spread more detailed information. Don't forget that Zuo and Red were also with them, so they should be able to help when the new information comes out.' Obviously, there was no way for Roan to know that Red had stayed behind in his race. Fortunately, Zuo was indeed together with the girls.
[It's too difficult for information to spread through the demon beasts' territory. Look at these posters. They're all about the two girls. The few others that exist are most likely spread by powerful demon beasts for other matters. Just how much power do you need to spread this kind of information throughout the demon beasts' territory? I don't think this is a problem of how rich you are, but how important your position in the demon beast races is.]
Roan agreed with Sister Orb. 'Exactly. All the other requests were some incredibly difficult things that only those with power would be able to spread. Of course, not counting requests made in the cities themselves, but those are marked as local requests anyway, so it's easy to tell them apart. We can't do the same thing even if we have the necessary Divine Stones. It's not about wealth. If we want to spread the information about the girls to find them, we need to be related to these powerful demon beasts at the very least.'
'So much for trying to stay hidden all this time...' Rean couldn't help but murmur.
Kentucky also heard that conversation, though. 'Errr... that's good and all. However, what will we do after getting the two of them back? Live in the demon beasts' territory forever? That's considering they really don't wish to kill you.'
As mentioned before, the twins still needed to travel everywhere to find the fragments. If not for the girls, Rean and Roan would probably be heading to the so-called Floating Islands of Time by now. Yet, Roan just shrugged his shoulders in response. 'There's always a way. Don't worry, the demon beasts won't be the only ones to appear after I show myself.'
