Chapter 2177: Moon Chasing Lotus Festival I

”I only adjusted the coordinates based on what was given to me. Maybe I am a bit wrong in the height department.” Adrian stated as he could see the clouds from where they are now.

”You were wrong in all the departments. Still, you managed to get us in the actual mountain itself so that is a plus.” Peridot stated.

”I think the eastern continent shifted differently than the central continent. Such a unique discovery! I need to make sure to record that while I am here. Maybe I can even find the correct conversion rate.” Adrian stated.

”We are here to have fun though.” Levin Cloud stated with a fake cough.

Adrian then looked at Frey and saw that she was also hoping to have fun at the festival that Peridot told them about. Adrian put way his journal as he wanted to experience the fun of a festival with the others. The only thing they need to do is get off the mountain peak and land on the pagoda area. The only difference is that the mountain also became bigger as a result of the world expanding which meant that they cannot view the pagoda from the peak.

”Will we get shot down if we descend the mountain?” Adrian asked as he knows how heavily defended the place of the Ryujins are.

”I will descend by myself for now. I will contact all of you once I informed them of our arrival.” Peridot stated as she changed her form to her dragon form to descend the mountain.

”So, how is the northern continent? Is it still as frosty?” Levin Cloud asked as he did not want to have an awkward atmosphere of Frey and Adrian just shyly looking at each other.

”It is still cold, but it became more bearable than the harsh winters before. The expansion of the world actually made the northern continent have different biomes where some could nurture life. Still, the people of the north are still tribalistic in some areas which is why there are often fights that suddenly show up. How about you? I learned that you unlocked the Faekin race. Congratulations!” Frey stated.

”Thanks even though I got help most of the way there. I just hope that new Faekin would mean more jobs for others in balancing the natural world.” Levin Cloud stated.

[Peridot has added you to the Moon Chasing Lotus Festival Chat.]

[Peridot: All of you can go down now. They will not attack.]

”Will they really attack if we did not give a heads up?” Frey asked.

”Breaking through the barrier in this mountain is already tough. If you trespassed, then prepare to get bombarded with numerous elements until your body turns to dust.” Levin Cloud stated.

”The worst thing that could happen is you becoming trapped in an endless cycle of elemental catastrophe. They use that as training for the young Ryujin so that they can master control over the elements.” Adrian added.

”I thought the northern continent was barbaric, but the eastern continent is really different.” Frey stated in shock.

”Oh! The northern continent is barbaric, but they are not shy about being upfront about it. The eastern continent is like a refined barbaric cousin of those in the north. They might seem noble and majestic with their flowy robes and martial arts, but they are barbaric to the core.” Levin Cloud exclaimed.

”You need to be incredibly ruthless if you want to survive in the eastern continent. The fight for resources here is incredibly difficult. This is also the reason why most of the players consider the eastern continent as the Land of Warriors. You need to be careful here as a random beggar looking grandpa could be a grand master or a cute looking child might be a powerful immortal.” Adrian added.

”This land becomes more and more interesting with the way you describe it.” Frey stated with a dry laugh.

”Just be respectful or mind your own business. That is the two general rules of the eastern continent in order to stay alive longer.” Levin Cloud stated.

”If you cannot do those then what happens?” Frey asked.

”You better know how to kill them or else it will be you.” Adrian stated as he summoned Kanlaon for them to descend on.

The three of them descended towards the pavilion where Peridot, her master, and some other Ryujin are gathered. All of them bowed towards the three as they are considered guests of the next leader. Nu Wa looked surprised when she saw Adrian and Levin Cloud because she sensed such powerful authority etched into their souls. She could feel that both of them could overturn the rules of the world.

”Greetings, mediators and honored guest.” Nu Wa stated as the other servants also did the same as they bowed.

Nu Wa referred to Adrian and Levin Cloud as mediators while Frey became the honored guest. They were then led to the decorated table where a pond could be seen stretched out before them. The entire pavilion was incredibly beautiful as it was landscaped to perfection. The servants were filling the table with numerous assortments of sweets and teas.

”I am glad that you have finally woke up, master. A lot has changed in the world while you and the others were asleep.” Peridot stated.

”A lot has changed but it seems that you still call me master. I thought I told you the proper way to address me.” Nu Wa stated.

”Apologies, mother. I was not able to get any practice because I could not call you such. I hope that your body has already internalized everything as the first few weeks is the period where the Ryujin need utmost concentration.” Peridot stated as she knew about the effects on the body after hibernation.

”Well, I would like to be introduced to your new friend. She is someone that I have not met before.” Nu Wa stated as she wanted to shift the topic of the conversation.

”Oh! She is Frey and she is the Avatar of the Goddess Freyja.” Peridot stated as she proceeded to say more things about Frey that made the latter blush. Most of the things that Peridot told Nu Wa are praises and incredible feats that Frey has done.

”Enough about me, Peridot. It is nice to meet you, Lady Nu Wa. Peridot has also told me a lot about you and how much she respects you.” Frey stated as she wanted to stop Peridot from saying more things about her.

”It is also nice to meet you, Frey. I hope that your stay here will be to your satisfaction. I also hope that you could enjoy the Moon Chasing Lotus Festival as it is a celebration that aims to honor us Ryujin after all.” Nu Wa stated.

”Does the Moon Chasing Lotus Festival have ties with the Ryujin? I would have asked the Vermillion Bird, but it seems that she has gone quiet for the time being. It seems that the hostilities in her territory have yet to stop.” Adrian stated.

”I have also learned that a lot of chaotic things happened when we were asleep. It seems that some of our brethren also fell while those that returned are heavily injured. At the very least, we have awoken at the perfect time. The Moon Chasing Lotus Festival is what the other people in the eastern continent call it, but it is different to the Ryujin.” Nu Wa stated.

”What is it called for our race then?” Peridot asked as even she did not know this lore.

”To the Ryujin, we call this time as the First Emergence. It was the time where the first moon hatched and gave birth to a hundred of us.” Nu Wa stated.

”You mean to say that the Ryujin hatched from the moon?!” All of them stated in surprise as they sipped the tea to calm down.

”Refreshing!” Levin Cloud stated.

”Is it not cannibalism if you are drinking tea?” Adrian jested.

”I cannot believe that you liked me to dried leaves.” Levin Cloud stated but then he noticed the dried leaves on his hair and muttered,” Touche.”

”No more jokes! I want to hear the story!” Peridot stated as she wanted to stop the two from speaking.

”It was not really a moon but a piece of the Goddess Tiamat that broke off when she died. That piece of her floated to the skies above and attached itself to the moon. One more moon was added in the dark sky back then. It was at this same time when the ʼmoonʼ that people considered to be created by gods suddenly hatched.

The ʼmoonʼ hatched and released a hundred Ryujins that also fed on it as they were not cared for by the Goddess Tiamat since she died. Some myths actually were created like dragons eating the moon because of that situation. The First Emergence is also a special day for every Ryujin as it is the days where our powers peak.” Nu Wa stated.
