Chapter 3933: Drora
Back at Donafela’s place, she called the twins’ group to tell them the decision of that meeting. Of course, they already knew it, although they had to pretend they didn’t.
"So everyone preferred the neutral option, uh?" Roan said. "That’s good. At least we don’t need to run away from here."
Donafela looked at them. "That will not stop the countries from sending you more offers, you know?"
"It won’t," Rean agreed with her. He knew Ximao also mentioned that in the meeting. "But such offers can’t be made in the open, and we can simply ignore them. Even better, we can act as if we already accepted someone, even if we don’t tell anyone about it in clear words."
"So be it." Donafela didn’t want to get involved in this anymore. "I got you what you wanted, so, in th future, if we happen to need your help, I hope you won’t forget our deal."
"We won’t," Roan understood.
Back then, when they met, she put out that condition to the twins’ group. She wasn’t forcing them to join Galantes or anything like that. It was just one favor, a helping hand in a moment of difficulty if necessary.
"However," Rean also added his part. "We can only help if we are nearby and if we have the power. Don’t forget we are too young at the moment. There is no guarantee that by the time your country needs help for whatever reason, we will be around, or that we will have the strength to do so. You understand that much, right?"
"I’m not an idiot," Donafela already considered that possibility. "If that’s what will happen, then I can only say we weren’t lucky enough. Well, I actually hope we will never really need your help forever. Because if we do, that means we are in a pretty bad condition."
With that, they talked for a while longer before the twins’ group left her residence.
During the following year, the twins’ group continued to get missions inside the Runia Continent, sometimes close to the borders, but never outside. However, things eventually turned out like Rean said. The Divine Military Academy also had tasks to be completed outside the continent. It wouldn’t make much sense if the twins’ group were kept inside forever.
Above all, the other students would notice this difference and would complain about the fairness system of the academy, so the academy system had to sooner or later pass the same type of tasks to them.
Kentucky was the first one to get such a mission.
At the Mission Console Hall, Kentucky examined the mission assigned to him. "Hum? Envoy Escort?"
-Meeting Point: Zonel Country.-
-Escort Envoy Suliao Frutes to Lobokian Country in Vous Continent.-
-This is a business-related mission, and the safety of the Envoy is the number one priority. Failing to accomplish this mission will result in penalties.-
Kentucky took a look at the list of participants in this mission, seeing that he was one of those with the lowest cultivation. There was one leader at the Space-Bending Realm Initial Stage, and the others were mostly in the Peak and Late Stage of the Void Tempering.
Those in the Middle Stage of the Void Tempering, like Kentucky, were no more than three. Well, that was only the numbers for the academy’s students. There were several more escorts that would bring Suliao to Lobokian Country, older ones with even higher cultivations. It’s just that those others were not part of the academy for obvious reasons.
Kentucky didn’t waste time, leaving for Zonel the same day.
He wasn’t the only one going out. A week earlier, Rean was also given a mission outside, this one related to a Trading Route Mediation between two regions bordering the Runia and Kloweqi Continents. He hasn’t made his way out yet, but he would soon.
Of course, the number of tasks that required participants to leave the continent was significantly less than those within the continent. That said, Kentucky and Rean were the only ones to take a mission each with such requirements, while the others received tasks inside again. The others would eventually receive similar missions, but not right now.
At the northwest side of the Runia Continent, Kentucky and his group came out of the teleport formation. They were received by a subordinate of the Zonel Country’s government, and were brought to the Envoy’s residence.
"Let me do the talk," Suimarlo, the Space-Bending Realm Initial Stage cultivator and leader of the students’ group, spoke to everyone.
At the residence, they were brought to a big room where Suliao waited. He wasn’t alone, as there were two Space-Bending Peak Stage Experts on both his sides. Suliao himself was a Space-Bending Late Stage, so he had some capability of defending himself if needed. "Took you long enough. I almost thought the Academy cared not for the business between the continents."
Suimarlo smiled at him. "Sorry for the wait, friend Suliao. The academy is a joint effort of all countries, including yours, so how could we not take it seriously? It’s just that the system took a little while to decide who should come. However, know that everyone in this group is a genius in their own right, so we will keep you safe. I don’t want to brag, but I could fight one of your guards by your side to a standstill even though I’m three stages below their cultivation realm."
The two guards narrowed their eyes. Sure, it was easy to tell they had never been to the academy since they didn’t pass the test. They didn’t have the potential. However, they were still experienced, so hearing that from Suimarlo hurt their pride. "Do you wish to give it a try?"
"That’s enough," Suliao intervened, though. "Chances are, there will be no need for any of you to act. This is more a display of strength than anything else. As the Envoy, I have to show some degree of power from our continent, after all."
Suliao then looked to the side, speaking. "Please, come in, Senior Drora."
Everyone looked in that direction, seeing a man... No, a demon beast in humanoid form entering the room. Suimarlo narrowed his eyes, not being able to see the demon’s cultivation.
Kentucky, who was at the back, shrugged slightly. He obviously noticed the man there from the very start. ’Elemental Space Initial Stage. I guess he will be the real leader during this visit to Vous Continent.’
Drora stopped in front of everyone, saying nothing. From there, Suliao continued. "Senior Drora here will accompany us this time around. If you find anything suspicious, you can report directly to him. That’s all. We leave the next morning, so go get yourselves prepared."
