The twins took the notice from the board and passed it to the disciple on the counter. After checking the rank of the mission and their cultivation, he narrowed his eyes, though.

"You are not allowed to take this mission with your cultivation. Select a Rank 3 one or lower."

​​

Rean smiled as he took a token from his bag. Sure enough, as soon as the disciple looked at that, he was taken aback. He couldn't help but reassess the twins in front of him. For an Elder to give special permission for higher rank missions, they must be far above the average disciples.

He quickly marked down the twins' mission and passed the command order forward. Rean and Roan then got the detail of their employer, as well as the Sect identification. With those two, they would convince their employer that they were really there for the mission.

They had to also pass by the Iron and Blood District to tell that they would be leaving for a mission. That being said, they would be exempt from doing the morning practices.

Thanks to Rean's prestige in the Demon Beast Taming Faction, he could once more borrow a flying demon beast. It's just that this time it would take a lot longer for him to come back, so they had to pay for it as well. However, the payment could be made with Spirit Stones, so the twins simply didn't care.

The demon beast they got was a Stage Two Mountain eagle. Quite a common type that all sects liked to use for travels. Rean had also learned how to use the taming flute, which he could use to command the eagle. With everything prepared, Rean and Roan immediately departed.

They thought for a moment if they should bring Malaka to experience the outside world too. However, they recognized that she was probably in the Spiritual Rebirth Formation still. That being said, there wasn't much of a point in waiting here.

They didn't notice that when they left the Sect, a certain woman at the top of the Dalamu Mountain was observing them. Suddenly, her face showed some surprise as if she heard something unexpected. For a second, a cold light flashed in her eyes as she disappeared from her spot.

Cinquel City was quite far from the Dalamu Sect. Even with the Mountain Eagle's help, Rean and Roan took an entire week to arrive there. Obviously, they had to stop several times on the way to let the eagle rest and eat too. The same could be said for themselves.

Finally, they spotted the city in the distance. Although it wasn't as big as Majorias City, it was definitely several times their Home City, Astreg. From the information they got, the lord of this city is a Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivator called Palan Jialin. As anyone can guess, he is a descendent of the royal family.

There wasn't anything strange about it. After centuries of development, the royal blood spread a lot due to several marriages and offsprings. Many of the bigger cities in the country were managed by the royal family blood, thanks to that. The cities that weren't would have city lords with some connection with the sects that commanded that region.

Still, Rean and Roan's employer wasn't the city lord, but the Leader of the city guards. It was common practice in big cities to invite the sects' experts to deal with bandits around. That would preserve the cities' forces and help build good relations with the secs, a win-win situation.

Thanks to their Damalu Sect Robes, no one stopped them from entering the city with their Mountain Eagle. Still, Rean and Roan stopped by the gate to ask where they could leave the Demon Bird. The guards respectfully told them that there is a place in the City Guards Hall, especially for these beasts.

Conveniently, that was also where they had to meet their employer. They told the city guards employee in that place that they came to talk with their Leader as they passed the Sect's command order and information. The man who received it was quite surprised to hear that those two kids came for this mission. Still, it wasn't his place to judge them. Rean and Roan were then guided to the City Guard Leader Office.

*Knock, Knock.*

"Enter!"

The guard entered the room, followed by the twins.

"Sir, these are Rean and Roan. They were sent by the Dalamu Sect. Please inspect the command order."

The City Guard's Leader's name was Uive Olanmine, a Late-Stage Core Formation Realm cultivator. Uive narrowed his eyes when he saw the kids as he grabbed the paper. After reading which mission they were assigned to, his expression turned even worse.

"Are you elders messing with me? This is a Rank 4 Mission. How come the Dalamu Sect sent you? Go back and tell your Sect to send me Peak Foundation Establishment Disciples at the very least."

Rean smiled, already expecting this kind of reaction.

"There is no need for that, Sir Uive. Although our cultivation is at the Middle Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, our real combat power is definitely at least at the Late Stage. We had even killed a Stage Three Inferno Wolf when we were still in the Initial Stage of the same Realm with only the two of us. We can guarantee that we are suited to this job."

Uive opened his eyes wide. Even if they worked together to bring down the wolf, the fact that they did it in the Initial Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm was terrifying.

Rean then brought Elder Guliva's Token, which allowed them to take higher missions.

Uive, as the Leader of the City Guards, obviously knew how to recognize the identifications of the sects. He could tell with a glance that Rean's Token was genuine. Of course, even after hearing all of that, he still harbored doubts in his heart.

"This mission will be conducted by members of the Dalamu and Lagan Sect. From the information I received, the Lagan Sect's disciples should arrive by the end of the day. If you can defeat one of their disciples in a spar, then I'll acknowledge that you have the means to carry off this mission."

Rean and Roan nodded, not caring too much about that. Roan wanted to experience combat, so the chance to fight other Sect's disciples was more than welcome to him.
