Death… And Me Chapter 2908: Bad People



Rean went forward, having the sa idea as Roan. He touched the sphere by the terminal. This ti, however, he knew what he should do to control the Werdlem Stone on his body and have its energy guided. 'It is a little complicated to do it since I'm isolating the stone with Light Elent. Fortunately, the example we needed to see about how the Werldem Stones worked was given by Gliml himself. Let's see... Hum... I extract a little of the energy like this... then I empty the ridians... the hands, yes, the hands are good enough... It should be more or less like this...'

Imdiately, the terminal showed Rean's Sanso Village ID and Rean's na. "Di-Did I do it right, senior. I-I'm sorry."

Glimmle sighed and patted Rean's head. "You did nothing wrong. No doubt our equipnt had a mismatch of sorts. It wasn't either your or your brother's fault."

Roan, still with a stern expression, took the chance to ask. Well, he at least tried to be respectful. "Senior Gliml. What is an Unidentified Werdlem Stone? Why is it such a big deal?"

Gliml worked on a few options in his CD while he answered Roan's question. "Unidentified Werdlem Stones are only used by outlaws, the sort of scoundrels that refuse to be part of the Werdlem System."

Rean and Roan looked completely puzzled, which made Gliml put his hand on his face, noticing his own mistake. "Right, you ca from a pretty isolated place, so you obviously know nothing. Let start it again."

"As your Village Chief probably explained already, a warrior can't cultivate without a Werdlem Stone. It is the stone that allows you to feel the cultivation energies of the world. You see, Werdlem Stones are also how a cultivator is identified inside the Werdlem System. The Werdlem System was made so that the empire would have full control over who can or can not cultivate."

"This way, the Werdlem Empire can prevent bad people from causing problems for the community as a whole. If a bandit, for example, can't use cultivation energies, he is basically the sa as a mortal. You have a lot of mortals in your village, don't you?" Rean and Roan nodded and waited for Gliml to continue. "That's about it. We can connect to the stone and stop that bandit from using cultivation energies. It makes it very easy to capture him and keep everyone safe."

"However..." Gliml didn't stop there. "There are a few groups who created fake Werdlem Stones. Such stone can't be accessed by the system, so the bad people can still do bad things without being afraid of having their ability to cultivate stolen from them. Yet, they are truly idiots for taking such a path."

Roan pondered a bit and asked. "From the way you speak, it does feel like these fake stones have their own drawbacks."

Gliml smiled and patted Roan's head. "Aren't you a smart kid? That is correct. The fake Werdlem Stones, or Unidentified Stones, can't give you a proper connection to the world around you. Cultivating with them is prone to leave behind many defects in one's cultivation. Shacky foundations, defective Dantians and Cores, clogged ridians, you na it. Anyone who resorts to this thod only does so when they are up to no good."

Gliml then warned the twins. "Do never try to use a fake stone, understood? Once you remove your real Werdlem Stone, there is no way back in the system. You are bound to live with that kind of defect for the rest of your lives. You don't want that, right?"

Rean and Roan nodded. "Thank you for explaining, senior Gliml. We will definitely not take a fake Werdlem Stone."

"Well said," Gliml was happy to hear that. He had no suspicion about the twins whatsoever. Of course, that was mainly because he couldn't see any cultivation in the twins' bodies, so he was certain the alarm earlier was a bug in the system identification program.

"Senior Gliml," Rean quickly spoke. "What do we do now? Are we in trouble?"

*Beep, beep, beep...*

Gliml smiled and finished ssing with his CD. "Not anymore. I have already finished your registration in the Gondel Clan. You can go back to the registration office and get a room for yourselves. Also, a piece of advice. I can see you two are quite old already, so many of the kids at your age are far ahead in cultivation. You might feel sad, or they might mock you because of it. But do not let it get to you. I was also soone who arrived here much older than others, and today, I occupy a position in the clan higher than many of those who once caused trouble to because of my age. Keep your heads high. As long as you are alive, there is hope. Understood?"

The twins nodded, and Rean even felt like laughing. If Gliml just knew who they really were, he definitely wouldn't have such concerns. "Yes, senior Gliml. Thank you."

Soti later, Rean and Roan were brought back to the west side of the Gondel Clan. As one can expect, they caught a lot more eyes than previously. After all, no one expected they would return here after being caught with Unidentified Werdlem Stones.

'The soul reading and torture we were expecting didn't really happen...' Rean couldn't help but comnt.

'Hmph!' Roan snorted. 'Underestimating us just because we are kids and have no cultivation. What a terrible protection system.'

Rean shrugged. 'It would be a lot harder to find anyone who wouldn't have such a reaction after seeing the two of us, you know? Well, I'm not complaining, that's for sure.'

"Hey, you two," It was then that a young man, probably around fifteen years of age, approached the twins. "I saw you being taken away earlier. What did did you do?"

Rean stopped for a mont while Roan didn't even bother to look at the guy.

Seeing that, Rean bitterly smiled and tried to talk. "Ahem... ignore my brother. He has social issues and is very shy when strangers co to talk to him. He is like a delicate flower that can die with the slightest touch, truly not worth wasting your ti with."

Roan's mouth twitched, feeling like giving Rean a beating. However, he quickly cald down and made his way into the registration office.

As for Rean, he continued his explanation. "As for the event earlier, senior Gliml- Ah, that's the man who took care of our problem. Anyway, he said that the Unidentified Werdlem Stone news was a bug in the system... Perhaps so ants entered that equipnt we used earlier."

"Hahaha!" The young man couldn't help but laugh out loud, and so did the others around. "You got it wrong. He didn't an there was really a bug inside. Anyway, if an inquisitor said that, then it must be the truth. Sorry for bothering you, friend. Oh, right. I'm Suzumaki. If you need so help later, look for . I can make your life here in the Gondel Clan a lot easier... for the right price." He then winked at Rean and turned around to leave.

Rean smiled as well and quickly entered the registration office with Roan. Roan had already finished his registration, and this ti, it worked without issues.
