《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

Luti looked at the twins with a weird expression as he could not help but ask, "You're participating in this mission, and you don't even know that? I even heard that you killed a Soul Transformation Realm Zasfin. Also, you guys don't know about the agreement between humans and demon beasts. Just...what are you even doing here?"
Roan glanced at Luti for a moment before answering, "Training."
Rean and Kentucky nodded their heads in agreement, confirming Roan's words.
"Tr-training? You guys are weird..." Sure enough, that was the normal reaction. Luti then sighed before answering Rean's question, saying, "Anyways, the list of items available is enormous. They range from high-rank Spirit Stones to Heaven-level materials. There are even a few pieces of Heaven-level equipment up for grabs."
Rean and Roan shook their heads after hearing that. The high-rank Spirit Stones might be good, but the rest didn't seem that appealing to them. After all, Rean and Kentucky already got a lot of Heaven-level materials back when they were in the Demon Beast Continent. "Isn't there anything else more useful?"
"U-Use...ful?" Luti almost vomited blood after hearing that. The things he had just mentioned were as useful as they could possibly be. Which Nascent Soul Realm cultivator wouldn't want something like that? "Are you guys big tycoons or something like that?"
Rean scratched the back of his head in response, saying, "Well, I guess you could say we're well-off. Besides, I can craft my own Heaven-level equipment, while Roan can concoct Heaven-level pills. We don't really need those things since we have a decent amount of materials with us."
Luti couldn't help but feel even more shocked after hearing that. "You guys can fight Soul Transformation Realm Zasfins, are rich, and are a Heaven-level Blacksmith and Alchemist respectively. Is there anything you guys can't do?"

Roan pointed at Rean for a moment before saying, "I would love to make him grow up."
Rean's mouth twitched in response, saying, "Fuck you! I, your grandfather, am very mature."
Even Kentucky rolled his eyes at Rean when he heard those words, let alone Roan. Naturally, it bothered Rean even more. "Hmph! It's just that this ice cube of a brother doesn't know how to take jokes."
Luti didn't know what to do in that situation as he said, "Somehow, I feel like we're deviating from the initial topic of our conversation." Nevertheless, he stopped to ponder for a moment on the reward list he saw back in the Demon Beast Continent.
"Oh, right! You might like this one. They have several drops of Divine Beast Blood. The Phoenix, Basilisk, Black Tortoise, and the White Fenrir decided to make them available for others to purchase. This might be a very good addition to your friend here," Luti said as he looked at Kentucky.
However, it was then that Kentucky answered, "Ahem...I have no need for those." What a joke. Kentucky was a Divine Demon Beast himself. Why would he need other beasts' blood? It would only conflict with his own.
Rean and Roan agreed with Kentucky as Rean said, "Indeed, we have no need for those. Is there anything else?"
Luti was on the verge of fuming already. Things that would make anyone go crazy over them had simply no appeal to these fuckers' eyes. How could he not be mad at that? 'Can I beat you? Just a little, please?!'
"Errrr..." Luti calmed himself down and thought a little more. Soon, he said, "Maybe an airship?"
With that, something that caught Rean's interest had appeared. "Airship? Do demon beasts have airships?" Naturally, he thought it to be weird.

Luti nodded, responding, "Yes. It's not that they use them, at least not often. However, they obtained a few from other Zasfins who lost in battle. Or maybe they got them from some weird trades in the Demon Beast Cities, things like that. After so long, they've accumulated a few of them, with most gathering dust because almost no one uses them."
Rean, who already knew a little about them, couldn't help but ask, "What level of airships do they have? Earth Grade? Heaven Grade? What rank of Spirit Stones do they use?"
Rean found out in the Soul Rulers' headquarters that a few airships were even faster than Saint Realm experts. The airship that brought him and Roan to the Soul Rulers' headquarters just so happened to be one of those. They could keep it in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm for future travels. Usually, they weren't good choices for running away, though. After all, they took too long to gather speed. Only in the long run would they be much better than flying with one's own body.
However, Rean had an idea of building quite a few protection formations and improving the existing ones. Depending on the situation, it might be used for escaping as well. 'Hehehe! I might as well use the Circuitry Weapon Formations I've kept secret until now. Maybe I can change it into a flying fortress. How cool would that be?!' Rean couldn't help but feel excited at the thought.
However, Luti shook his head in response, saying, "How would I know? I have no interest in the airships to start with, so I didn't look at what type they were." Sure enough, only Rean would show interest in something like that. For humans in the Demon Beast Continent, an airship would only be considered a big target for flying beasts.
Rean nodded, not minding that at all. "It's fine. Do you perhaps know how much they cost?" Rean's problem was that airships weren't made with formations alone. Otherwise, he could have crafted one himself. They carried many expensive materials since they had to fly at ridiculously high speeds. One could only imagine how expensive it was when the term 'faster than a Saint Realm expert' was mentioned.
Luti pondered a bit before saying, "Well, I just glanced at them for a second, so I might be wrong. But I'm sure they cost around a few hundred merit points. If I'm not mistaken, the cheapest I saw was 340."
Roan and Kentucky looked at Rean after hearing that, soon asking, "Isn't that too expensive?"
Rean nodded, saying, "It is, but it'll be worth it. Trust me."
Roan and Kentucky didn't have much to do with the merit points, so they simply nodded. "Alright then. Let's save the points."
