Chapter 2054: Learning about the Turtle Dragons

”I need to know more about the Turtle Dragons.” Adrian asked the Vermillion Bird.

The Vermillion Bird then looked at Adrian with a bit of surprise as she did not expect that at all. She was not able to see or hear what Adrian was up to these past few days because of the increased wariness towards the Goddess Izanami. The Vermillion Bird already knew that Adrian will not do something that would harm the Turtle Dragons which is why she decided to tell him everything.

”The Turtle Dragons are also Divine Beasts just like us, but they are in the realm of creation. They are beings that breathe life to the eastern continent which is why they are often hidden. They move through the ebb and flow of the world which is why they are very elusive beings. They were born from the drops of blood of the Mother Dragon Goddess when those fell into the sea.

They are beings that are older than me and would often prefer to hide and be in peace. They are not beings to be trifled with as they are incredibly fierce when provoked. One could even say that they can easily destroy an entire continent should they be brought to rage.

This was already proven once back then when a small dragon turtle was killed by islanders south of here.” The Vermillion Bird stated.

”How long was back then? You do know that long lived beings have no concept of time. Also, is there a way to meet them?” Adrian asked.

”It was a time when the world just fragmented. This was also the time where humanity regressed as they a lot of beings died. One could say that an apocalypse occurred that regressed the intelligence and wisdom of all beings. The way to meet one is possible but would be incredibly difficult.” The Vermillion Bird stated.

”Please tell me as I need to help one of my soulbounds evolve.” Adrian stated as the Vermillion Bird suddenly remembered that one of his soulbounds looked like a dragon turtle.

”Do you mean to tell me that Wisteria is a dragon turtle? I thought that she was merely a turtle that has dragon features but to think that she was a pure blood. She is very different to the Dragon Turtles that I have encountered before as she is softer in features. The ones that I have seen were beings that have sharp spiked shells and even body parts.” The Vermillion Bird stated.

”You are correct. She is an Arboreal Dragon Turtle that hatched from an egg that I got. She is not a typical turtle dragon which is why I want to ask them if it is possible to know how to make her stronger.” Adrian stated.

”In order to get to the place that Dragon Turtles hide, you would need do three things.” The Vermillion Bird stated.

”What are they? I can do them even if it is difficult.” Adrian stated as a hidden quest suddenly appeared.

”The Dragon Turtles are being that will forever cherish the ones that help them. You already have my trinket that will aid you to find the Immortal named Taro. Show him my trinket and he might be able to help you.” The Vermillion Bird stated.

”You said might… does this mean that he might not help me? Is he the only one that could lead me to the hidden realm? How would I even find him when the eastern continent is in turmoil?” Adrian asked.

”He was the one that is blessed by the Dragon Turtles as their eternal friend. He was given immortality because of it but his tales could have been twisted due to how long it happened. He is one of the few beings in the eastern continent that could never grow old and is not intimidated by other beings because of his connection with the Dragon Turtles.” The Vermillion Bird stated.

”Any idea where to find him?” Adrian asked.

”I believe that you know how to, my friend. You are still affiliated with a great information clan in the eastern continent after all.” The Vermillion Bird stated.

”I see. If the Heihudie clan can tell me his location, then that would be great. Anyways, I feel bad that I am only taking from you. Do you wish for me to help you in your current situation?” Adrian asked.

The Vermillion Bird is a bit amused that Adrian would mention of him helping as he disliked troublesome situations. The fact that he offered even though he does not like it meant that it is genuine because he is indebted. The Vermillion Bird laughed heartily as it never knew another being that would want to reciprocate good will to a Divine Beast.

”The situation now is something that I can handle, my friend. Although your offer of help might of use to me in the future when I am in need of it. I only ask that you do not abandon me in my time of need when I call for you help.” The Vermillion Bird stated.

”Of course! I will make sure that I will come running here even if I have to destroy the dimensional disruptions. Even if the Goddess Izanami herself detects my presence, I will come to aid you here as you have done so much for me.” Adrian replied.

”Since you have said that then I will hold you to your word. I am thankful just for that. You may now go, my friend. I need to take some rest as I need to recover some of my strength.” The Vermillion Bird stated.

”Thank you for the information. May you have a great rest so that you recover fully.” Adrian stated as he bid farewell to the Vermillion Bird and headed to a tea house in Vermillion City.

The tea house was actually quite bustling at the moment as he knew that these customers were not here for just normal tea but actual ʼteaʼ about the situation in the world outside of Vermillion City. The hostess thought that Adrian was a first timer in the tea house when he suddenly showed the trinket that symbolized the Matriarch of the Heihudie clan.

It was then that the hostess remembered that they have a very special benefactor that can change his appearance.

Seeing the token, the hostess immediately led Adrian to a more secluded room. He was served tea and some cakes before the branch manager came to his room. As the branch manager sat down and greeted Adrian, he immediately isolated the space in the room so that it would be totally soundproof.

”Your methods are as secure as always benefactor. You did not even age a day as well.” The branch manager stated as Adrian showed his real form.

”I actually remember you as well. Who knew that a good few years ago have already passed but you also become like wine.” Adrian stated as he made the branch manager blush.

Adrian remembered her because she was the one that gave him the bug that now became Kenos. He was still surprised that something like that happened, but he got a great soulbound in the process. He will definitely give a generous tip to her after she answers his questions.

”You jest, benefactor. To what do we owe the pleasure of your visit?” The branch manager stated.

”I need to know where the current location of the Immortal named Taro is. I want to reach the Hidden Realm of the Dragon Turtles, and they said that he is the one that can guide me there.” Adrian stated which shocked the branch manager.

”Is there something wrong with my request?” Adrian asked as he noticed the odd expression of the branch manager.

”The information is actually quite easy, benefactor. The problem are the risks.” The branch manager stated as she looked worried.
