Death… And Me

Chapter 2961: Fragment Deal



"I'm a member of the Rusbav Royal Family, so just tell me what you need. As long as it is nothing too outrageous, I can see it done," Ariana gave her conditions.

However, Roan had his doubts. "You complained about a thousand Rank Five Spiritual Stones. Such a number should be nothing to the Royal Family. Are you truly in a position to offer such a reward?"

Ariana was taken aback before her expression turned dark. Rean expected the other girls around to be angry with Roan's remark. Yet, They all had weird expressions. Finally, Ariana spoke. "Don't talk as if you know me. Do you want this deal or not?"

Rean quickly accepted. "Alright, we want this deal. However, what we need is some time alone with the Ore. Don't worry, we will not get rid of its Light and Dark Elements or Yin and Yang Energies... if that is truly what you need this for."

Ariana narrowed her eyes. "I won't allow you to be alone with it since I don't know what you intend to do with it."

Roan spoke from there. "Then you can observe, but no questions asked. How about that?" Rean looked at Roan. 'Is that fine?'

'Do you think they even know about Stellar Energy? Even if they do, it is obvious no one here seems to care about it,' Roan answered. 'On the other hand, we need the items for the next grades of the Starlight Body.'

Rean wasn't concerned about that. 'Don't worry, I already found out about them back in the Gondel Clan when I was checking the databases. Although they have different names, they are the same. The Gargantuan Mikrel Worm blood, for example, there is another Demon Beast very similar that should fulfill the requirements. We should be able to buy that thing's blood here in the capital. As for the Pearls, I got them in my Spatial Ring. They were very cheap.' That would allow the twins to reach the Third Grade Starlight Body. In their actual state, they can already fight those in the Soul Transformation Realm. If they get their bodies to reach the third grade, perhaps they can even fight someone in the Saint Realm.

Ariana continued to use her Spiritual Sense in the Ore, but she simply couldn't find any other uses for it. After pondering for a while, she finally decided to accept the deal. "Very well, I'll be observing you two myself. If you try anything funny with my Ore that could cause it to lose its properties, don't expect to leave this city alive."

Neither Rean nor Roan were concerned about that. The Fragment itself will not change at all. The Stellar Energy inside isn't part of the Fragment to start with. Otherwise, their own fragments in the past would have suffered some changes as well. "Then how about meeting again the next day early morning? We need to prepare as well."

Ariana had no issues with that. "Alright. However, it won't be in the Royal Palace. Come back here to the auction house when you are ready. The private rooms are perfect for doing things in secret while no one will intervene."

The twins nodded and quickly left. Back in the room, one of the girls couldn't help but ask. "Lady Ariana. What do we do after they pass over the method?"

Ariana thought about it. "We can't act here in the Auction House or the capital. Besides, the two old geezers of the Lincae and World Splliting Sects seemed very interested in these two. Have someone tag those two after our deal is concluded. If a chance presents itself, get rid of them. If not, then let's consider it fate. They don't know what I'm going to use this for anyway."

Outside the auction house, Rean walked with Roan to the market street while speaking through their connection. 'She totally intends to get rid of us.'

'Obviously,' Roan agreed. 'Although it was faint, the killing intent was there. We are safe in the capital, though. That inquisitor seems to hold a very big influence. We can think about the rest once we are finished here.'

After that, Rean and Roan separated. They found a few stores online that were worth checking for the blood they needed. In a city of this size, all shops were open day and night, so even though it was already late, the streets were brimming with people and other intelligent races. Around two hours later, Rean finally contacted Roan back. 'Found it. The guy pretty much ripped me off, but I got the blood. Oh well, it was Rank Four Spiritual Stones, so who cares?' The blood wasn't hard to get, but few sold it since there was just too little use for it. That's why Rean was forced to pay more in the end.

During this entire time, the twins had Rean's Divine Sense Bending Skill active. Of course, they kept it at a very low level so that any Spiritual Sense would easily break through it. They only used that to perceive Spiritual Senses focused on them. It wasn't just the people in the streets that recognized the two, but various other higher-level experts seemed to keep an eye on them... with a few killing intents mixed within.

'It is hard to be famous...' Rean shrugged. He did have a lot of Rank Five Spiritual Stones, after all. Others might be interested in getting rid of them due to their performance in the contest. Regardless of the reason, everyone seemed to be holding themselves back in the capital. Of course, Ariana's own lackeys were in that group.

The twins returned to the auction house early morning, just like agreed with Ariana. The worker brought them straight to her room, which now had Ariana alone.

That was the deal, after all. Only one observer. "Seems like you are ready."

*Sush...*

She threw the Fragment to the twins. "Go ahead. You better keep your side of the word as well."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
