Roan had to admit it wasn't a bad idea. Kentucky was better at staying close to Celis, but other Demon Birds wouldn't have this issue. "That's true. Let's pay a visit to the Beast Taming Guild."
Rean and Roan had the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, so carrying a lot of things wasn't a problem for them while flying with a Demon Bird. There wasn't even a need for the two of them to be on the bird's back.
The attendant of the guild couldn't help but feel surprised, asking them, "Do you even know how to tame demon beasts?"
"Nope," Rean answered straight away. "But everything can be learned." Without even waiting for the attendant to answer, Rean and Roan left the Formation Guild's branch.
Most side occupations had branches in Cosec City, so it wasn't hard to find the one for the Beast Taming Guild. To prevent attracting everyone's attention, Rean and Roan changed their appearances. After all, they did create quite the commotion in the assembly.
The attendant there immediately asked when he saw the duo, "Welcome to the Beast Taming Guild. Are you here looking for a ride? The next departures are almost leaving."
Rean replied to the attendant's question, saying, "Not really. We would like to know how to tame a demon beast. A Stage Five flying one would be of great help. No, wait! If you have a tamed one to sell already, that would be even better!"
Hearing that, the attendant couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Hahaha! Do you think it's easy to tame that level of demon beast? Besides, their owners wouldn't sell them as they give them quite the profit with the travels."
"Then, how can we tame one?" Roan asked this time around.
The attendant couldn't help but ask, "Are you serious?" The twins nodded and waited for the attendant to continue. "Sigh...listen, taming demon beasts is extremely hard. It's not about simply being stronger than them. Instead, it's about gaining their trust. Flying ones are especially difficult as, obviously, they fly."
"Does that mean we don't need to beat them?" Rean asked back.
The attendant shook his head in response. "Not exactly. You still need to show that you're stronger. Anyway, if you want to know more, it would be better for you two to enter the guild as members first. Just tell me your names and cultivation."
Rean pondered over it for a bit before asking something else. "Would our identities be revealed? We're a little bit famous at the moment, so we would rather have others not know we're here."
The attendant narrowed his eyes as he tried to identify Ran and Roan. However, due to the change in appearance, they didn't look like their real selves at all. With that, the attendant nodded. "We will keep your names hidden. However, the guild won't cover you if you have broken some law. Keep that in mind."
"Great!" Rean and Roan then used their Divine Senses to tell the attendant their names.
'I'm Rean Larks.'
'I'm Roan Larks.'
Immediately, the attendant's eyes opened wide in shock. "What?! You aremmhhmhmmm-"
Too bad for him that Rean closed his mouth. "Are you trying to fuck us up?" It was a good thing as the attendant's reaction caught some of the people's attention there. However, they quickly lost interest as it had nothing to do with them.
Eventually, he calmed down and nodded at Rean, meaning that he could take his hand off. After that, he talked with Divine Sense. 'So-sorry. I didn't expect to attend to the assembly's greatest winners like this.'
Rean sighed in relief after hearing that. 'As long as you understand. Anyway, will you let us become part of the guild?'
'Sure!' The attendant didn't have a reason to refuse, especially considering who the twins were. 'However, you better not expect special treatment. The guild only cares about those who have taming abilities. Even if you are this famous, you won't get anything here if you lack this ability.'
Neither Rean nor Roan had a problem with that. 'That's good enough for us.'
The attendant registered the twins, not taking too long before delivering them two badges. From there onward, he began to talk normally again. "These are your proofs of membership. Your level is defined by the stars on the badge. As you can see, there aren't any stars on your badges, which means you aren't recognized as real beast tamers yet."
Roan then looked at the demon beasts that fly out of the guild before asking, "Do you perhaps have a Stage Five Flying Demon Beast we can try to tame here?"
"You will have to check in the demon beasts' dwelling area. However, those at Stage Five and above are very hard to tame, which means it's also hard to keep them confined. If you don't find any, you will need to head to the demon beasts' territories and look for one by yourselves," the attendant explained.
The twins nodded and made their way there. It was good as they could also watch how the Beast Tamers worked on their demon beasts. Sure enough, they saw some of them taking care of lower-level demon beasts. Some had already been tamed. Others had only been captured and were in the middle of the process.
Suddenly, a man called the twins' attention. "Are you looking for something? This area is restricted to Demon Beast Tamers only."
Rean then brought his badge without any star out, responding, "We just joined the guild. Is there a demon beast we can try to tame?"
The man shook his head as he replied, "Members of your level won't find any demon beasts here. You will have to start with Stage One Demon Beasts in the nearby demon beast territories. Here, Stage Two and Three Demon Beasts are the lowest levels."
"Do you have any Stage Five Flying Demon Beasts?" Roan asked in response."
"Stage...Five?" The man looked at the twins with a weird expression. "Oh, I see. Two more idiots who think their higher cultivation can resolve everything."
Rean and Roan didn't complain about the guy's words. "So, do you have it?"
The man snorted in response. "Hmph! We do have one. However, one of our members has been working on it for quite some time. He's a Four Star Demon Beast Tamer trying to get his fifth star with this Stage Five Demon Beast. Even if you start now, the Demon Bird has mostly accepted him already. You should really not try to jump the steps and start with Stage One Demon Beasts first."
"I see..." Rean nodded. "Then that means he hasn't completely tamed it yet. Could it be that we can try to tame the Demon Bird as well?"
The man felt helpless as he heard that. "If you pay the fee, sure. Capturing these demon beasts and making sure they don't go berserk costs money, a lot of it at that. If you want to try and tame this Demon Bird, you will have to pay 500 Divine Stones, and there's no refund if you fail. I truly recommend you to go out and start from scratch like everyone else. Otherwise, you will basically throw your money away."
Rean and Roan didn't really care about Divine Stones, though. "Alright, here you go." Soon after, they passed 500 Rank One Divine Stones to the man, much to his surprise. "Sigh...since you want to waste your Divine Stones, I won't be the one stopping you. Come with me."
