Chapter 1300: A Ride
Roan then looked at one guy called Ival, a person in their division, and ordered him, "Ival, guide everyone back to our side through the canyon. You know the route already. We need to leave this place with this senior here, so it's up to you guys to get back safely."
Ival was taken aback to hear that. However, he didn't have time to say anything before Trika used her spatial powers to take Ran, Roan, and Maeralya away.
Space warped around the twins soon after. Before they knew it, they were already thousands of kilometers away from the previous battlefield. Now that everything was more silent, Trika decided to stop for a bit to contact the clan with a Thoughts Transmission Talisman.
Meanwhile, Rean talked with Maeralya through Divine Sense, 'Sorry for the lie just now. However, it was obvious she wanted to kill us to see if she could convince you to go back.'
Maeralya was curious about something else, though. 'How did you not die from the Soul Binding Contract? We definitely never had a relationship.'
Rean smiled in response, telling her, 'There is a small trick behind it. Maybe I'll tell you about it in the future.' He then changed the topic as he asked, 'Now then, it's obvious that Trika is adamant about bringing you back. What do you plan to do?'
Maeralya immediately complained, 'I wouldn't be dragged away if you hadn't intervened in the first place. My threat of suicide should at least have prevented aunt Trika from making her decision there. Now, she's already thinking about teleporting us back to the clan on her own. She believes that I won't kill myself because of you two.'
Rean narrowed his eyes in response. 'Are you blaming us? Don't forget that she wanted to kill Roan and me simply because we were together with you. Aren't you the reason that we were forced into this situation? Trika said it herself. She would kill us if you didn't obey. However, would you care about that? We're not friends or anything. We just got together because of the circumstances. Don't come at me, saying that you would do what she said to save us.'
'I…' Maeralya had no words to answer Rean's accusations. It was the truth. It was her presence that forced Rean to come up with that shitty lie on the spot. Besides, Rean was right. Maeralya didn't consider Rean and Roan important enough to give up her own plans of staying away from her clan.
It was then that she remembered something. 'Oh, right! How did you find my aunt? Also, how did you know that there was a spy from my clan within our division?'
Rean and Roan shook their heads when they heard that. 'That's a secret.'
Well, the truth was very simple. When Rean and Roan noticed Trika's Divine Sense approaching, they knew it was too much of a coincidence. She only appeared after they decided to give up on that second mission. Naturally, someone told her that the mission wouldn't be carried off. Rean then immediately asked Sister Orb to scan if she could find any formation activated at that moment. Just using a Thoughts Transmission Talisman wouldn't be enough. There had to be some kind of tracking item in the midst of their group. Sure enough, Sister Orb immediately found it, and the twins acted on it straight away. It's just that they would never tell Maeralya about Sister Orb.
As for how Rean and Roan found the hiding location of Maeralya's aunt, that was pretty simple. The answer to that was other than the Divine Sense bending skill. It couldn't hide her from them since her Divine Sense was just too strong. With that, she looked like a huge sun in the twins' senses while using it.
Maeralya didn't insist on that topic after their answer. In any case, she also wouldn't tell others if she was in Rean or Roan's shoes.
Roan then shrugged his shoulders after that. 'Well, Rean and I can escape by ourselves anytime we want, though.'
Roan wasn't lying. There was a reason why Rean and Roan couldn't escape before, the fact that Trika presented a danger to their life. The Soul Gem Dimensional Realm was blocked because of that, so they couldn't escape. Now that she gave up on killing them, they weren't in danger anymore. With that said, they could enter the Dimensional Realm and use the Circuitry Teleport Formation to go away. All that Trika would be able to tell was that they had some spatial item she wasn't aware of.
Maeralya's eyes lit up when she heard that, though. 'You can escape if you want? Bring me with you, then!'
'Why should we? We almost got killed because of you,' Roan said in response.
That wasn't the only reason. To use the same method, the twins would need to buy a pass from Soul Gem Reward List, which cost 10000 Destiny Points. At the same time, they would need to bring her into the Dimensional Realm, revealing its existence. There was no way they would do that.
'Why are you still here, then?' Maeralya found it strange. 'Since you could have escaped, you should have done so already.' Of course, she didn't know that the twins couldn't use the Dimensional Realm when there was danger. Only now did Trika not present any danger, at least for the moment. It was different during the negotiations.
Rean smiled before asking, 'You clan is located closer to the center of the continent, right?'
Maeralya nodded in response. 'Obviously. That's where most of the resources gather, after all.'
'And there's your answer,' Rean replied. 'We need a ride to that place. That's why we were gathering War Points. We wanted to use the army's teleport formations and leave the conflict zone. If we traveled by foot, how many years would it take? Your aunt looks like a very fast ride.' He wasn't lying. The Lost Star Realm Realm was located in the Galanmord Region, which was close to the center of the continent in a country called Trimazo. Using Trika as a ride was truly very good for them. How many years or Divine Stones could they save because of that?
Maeralya felt like crying after hearing that. What would her aunt think if she ever found out she was being used as transport? 'Aren't you afraid that I'll tell her your objective?'
'Would she believe you at the moment?' Rean asked her in response.
Sure enough, it would be hard.
