Death… And Me

Chapter 3136  One Minute

Zangeshu looked at Rean with shining eyes. ”He told me that it was you who hacked into the formations of the Inquisition Forging Hall. There wasnʼt supposed to be anyone on this planet capable of such a thing, so your Formations Master ability must be even higher than those in the Inquisition Hall.”

Rean immediately refused. ”First of all, it wasnʼt just me. I helped, I know how it was done, but that wasnʼt a job for a single person. I had help. Second, I literally destroyed the Inquisition Forging Hall. You are the directorʼs great-grandson. How the hell are you here asking me to become my disciple or whatever? You should be thinking about a way to flee instead.”

Roan commented. ”I already told him that I was going to send him away. He insisted he didnʼt want to. Something about we owing him for using his identity to get to destroy the Inquisition Forging Hall.”

Rean felt like crying. ”And since when do you even care about such things?”

”I hate owing favors,” Roan answered as a matter of fact.

”Good!” Rean nodded, preparing to leave. ”You were the one who came up with the idea to steal his identity, so you are the one who owes him. Find a way to repay him by yourself. And donʼt come at me saying that you helped spread the bracelets. It would take longer, but Iʼm certain I would eventually get to all the Sub-Branchesʼ cores. I didnʼt need you.”

Roan snorted. ”And yet, you also wanted to know about this planetʼs future in the Divine Werdlem Stone competition.”

”This...” Rean swallowed his words. Indeed, when Roan went to meet Gratlur as Zangeshu, he was definitely interested in what Gratlur would say. Too bad that Gratlur lost control of his mind and tried to kill Roan. ”Anyway, thatʼs not my problem. Did you forget? We already agreed we wouldnʼt take a disciple on this planet. Even you thought about taking that guy as a disciple if the situation was different.”

Zangeshu then raised his hand. ”To be honest, Iʼm not very interested in being anyoneʼs disciple. I just want to learn from you. There is no need for us to treat each other with all that bullshit about disciple and master. In exchange, I will definitely help with whatever I can. Iʼm very good at Talismans and Seals as well. We can kind of teach each other.”

Rean couldnʼt think about a use for Talismans and Seals, though. In fact, even though Rean didnʼt know much about Talismans and Seals, chances are his knowledge was still similar to Zangeshuʼs. After all, he lived for way longer and had much more experiences. ”Doesnʼt seem very useful...”

Zangeshu pondered a bit, thinking about what he could say to be accepted. It was as if he didnʼt care about what happened to the Inquisition Forging Hall at all. No, truth be told, he truly didnʼt. From what he heard from Roan, Rean didnʼt kill anyone with the Forging Hallʼs destruction, so why should he care? At the same time, Rean talked to Roan through their connection. ʼWhat is all this shit about? Do you truly want to take him as a disciple?ʼ

Roan nodded. ʼI want, but not me, you. I checked his memories from the recent years. His combat ability is pretty poor. His mind for formations, talismans, and seals are different, though. Why am I even talking to you about it, just check my memories of what I saw in Zangeshuʼs memories. Make use of this shit connection of ours for something beneficial for once.ʼ

Rean didnʼt know what he would find but decided to take a look nonetheless. As long as the other allowed, the twins could share their memories, which was indeed very convenient. Rean quickly went through Zangeshuʼs memories inside Roanʼs mind. At first, he didnʼt seem to care much. However, his expression a few seconds later once he organized all the memories in his own head.

Finally, Rean turned back to Zangeshu, looking at the young man with different eyes. ʼHe is even better than Havek... Only 27 years old and already holds so much knowledge. Above all, his precision is just ridiculous.ʼ

Be it Circuitry Formations, Seals, or Talismans, precision was something that helped immensely. That also helped with the speed at which a person worked on something new. For example, during the development of new Circuitry Formation Runes, Devices, etc, one can not always count on the equipment they had in hand to produce the necessary pieces. The masters must often work with their Spiritual/Divine Energy and hands to create these new things.

Seeing Zangeshuʼs memories, Rean had to admit Zangeshu was in another dimension compared to anyone he had seen at the same level before. Zangeshu definitely didnʼt lose to Rean himself when Rean was at Zangeshuʼs level! He wasnʼt as good as Rean right now, but he should have no problem getting there one day, especially with Reanʼs interference. Perhaps Zangeshu could surpass him in that specific precision category. ʼShit, why did I have to see it? Now Iʼm interested...ʼ

So far, Roan had been pretty much always the one who took in disciples. At most, Rean helped with their training, but Roan was the whole responsible for them. Rean was truly not used to having such things. Even those people back from Earth that he brought with him to the Realm of Gods werenʼt his disciples. They were all experts in their own fields. Instead of only Rean teaching them, it was a mutual exchange. Had Rean really ever had a disciple he could call his own? Probably not.

Seeing Zangeshuʼs pensive expression, Rean waved his hand, and a device appeared in it. ”Catch!”

*Zush!*

Zangeshu was taken by surprise before using his Spiritual Energy to catch the item. It was one of Reanʼs communication badges. He worked on it and tried to improve with the Werdlem Empireʼs technology in case he could return to Lisan in the future. That way, he can also improve Lisan.

”It looks similar to our Portable Interlight Spectral Communication Projector,” Zangeshu commented. ”Although it seems different as well.” Zangeshu is talking about the CDs Rean and Roan are using on this planet. As mentioned before, the name was too big, so everyone just called them CDs.

Rean didnʼt give him much time to think. ”You have one-minute to disassemble every single rune of th device and reassemble it back. You can start now.”
