Death… and me

Chapter 1085: The Royal City



Chapter 1085: The Royal City

The twins were quite far from the Royal Capital, so they decided to depart on the same day. However, when they asked the manager regarding the fastest way to arrive there, the guy replied, “Oh, you can arrive today if you want.”

“Today?” Rean and Roan were surprised to hear that.

The manager then explained, “Indeed. Since you have the Royal Family Token, you can use the Intercity Teleport Formations for free. Didn’t you know that?”

“We didn’t…” They had just recently got it, so how would they know? They also noticed how they traveled this far for no reason. “Oh well…we at least trained and cultivated a lot, so it wasn’t a bad experience.” Sure, the Intercity Teleport Formations were very expensive. However, if it was free for Royal Family Token users alone, that couldn’t even be considered an expenditure worth noting.

Of course, since they could do such a thing, they might as well head straight to the Royal Capital. “Senior, we would like to use the Intercity Teleport Formation.”

The manager nodded before saying, “You can find the Royal Family’s exclusive formation in this building of ours. Let me bring you there.”

Rean then remembered something. “Oh, right! The Golden Rascol.” He pondered over it for a bit before asking, “Senior, would you be able to deliver my Golden Rascol to the Lukimira Sect as well?”

“Sure, but I need you to show that our Beast Tamer is a friend and that it should follow its command. Once that’s done, our Royal Office will guarantee the safe delivery of your Demon Bird there,” the manager explained.

“Great! Let’s go there, then.” 

Rean then left with the Royal Office’s Beast Tamer and returned around an hour later. Roan was already waiting in the room with the Teleport Formation. Without wasting more time, Rean and Roan took the teleport formation to the next city. There were teleport formations that could send one straight to the Royal Capital. Of course, such formations were too expensive and complex, depending on the distance. Unless it was urgent or one was a direct descendant of the throne, they wouldn’t be used.

Rean and Roan didn’t mind, though. They simply had to use each Intercity Teleport Formation and jump from one to another. The process took around half a day to be complete, but it wasn’t a problem for them. First of all, if they had traveled with the Golden Rascol, it would have taken them over half a year to arrive. What was half a day compared to that?

Suddenly, a teleport formation in the corner of a giant building began to activate. A moment later, it shone brightly before a flash of silver light came out.

*Vup!*

As soon as it disappeared, a pair of white and black-haired twins appeared over it. Naturally, they were Rean and Roan. They looked around and could see the other teleport formations in the area. However, the building was almost empty, with very few teleport formations being used.

Suddenly, a well-dressed woman came to receive the twins. “Welcome to the Royal Capital, friends. This is the Royal Family and its representatives’ exclusive teleport formations. Would you mind showing me the Royal Token?”

Rean and Roan nodded before giving it to the young woman. ‘No wonder it’s so empty. Others can’t use it…’

The woman tested the tokens and confirmed they were genuine. “Thank you very much, Rean, Roan. You may come back to use this building’s teleport formation anytime you desire. Do you have any requests?”

Rean nodded as he said in response, “Can you have someone show us the path to the Royal Palace? This is the first time we came to the Capital.”

“Sure, one moment, please.” The woman quickly left and returned a minute later. Beside her, Rean and Roan could see a young teenager. “Hello, I’m Farius. Let me guide you to the Royal Palace.”

The Royal Token was really useful. With just a few words, Rean and Roan were already set to go to the palace. Farius guided them out of the building, which allowed the twins to see the environment. “That’s quite the view.”

Turns out the Royal Capital was built around a giant mountain. The building with the teleport formations for the exclusive use of the Royal Family and its representatives just happened to be on it. Obviously, that gave the twins a privileged view of the rest of the city below and how far above they could go as well. 

There were no clouds close to the mountain. In fact, Rean couldn’t see any clouds as far as his eyes could reach. He was a Formation Master, so it was easy to tell that it was like that because of a formation. ‘Most likely, it was made to allow the ones from above the mountain to always be able to see the city below and vice versa,’ Rean thought.

The top of the mountain, however, wasn’t exactly a mountain top. Instead, it was the palace itself. It looked as if the top had been slashed out, and the palace was built similarly to fit the top’s old shape. In a certain way, it was quite a stellar piece of architecture.

As Farius guided the twins through the streets leading to the top, Rean took the opportunity to ask, “Can you tell us a bit about the Royal Capital?”

Farius smiled and nodded before explaining, “The Royal Capital has been in existence for over 12000 years. It was built once the Kamos Royal Family ascended to power. The Capital, however, isn’t the biggest city in the empire. It only ranks 19th due to its young age. The total range is 430 kilometers, but it’s expanding year by year. Even though it’s the 19th biggest city, it has the third-highest population, with a total of four billion, three hundred and fifty-two million residents. It’s obviously the number one when it comes to the total amount of business being done per year.”

“Over four billion…” Rean was truly impressed with that number. Back on Earth, the entire planet only had around 7 billion. This city alone had above half of that amount.
