Chapter 2064: Kametaro
"Why would you choose that name, mediator?!" King Kame Yashashi asked as something about that name bothered him.
"I do not know. I just felt like it." Adrian stated as the door to the room slowly opened.
"Father, are you there?" Princess Mizuki stated as she entered the room.
"My daughter! Are you already in good health?" King Kame Yashashi asked as he in incredibly worried about his daughter.
"I am fine as I have already accepted the effects of my wish. I guess the sudden hit of maturity to my brain made be faint, but I am not fine." Princess Mizuki stated.
"Kame!" Kametaro suddenly stated as he looked at Princess Mizuki.
"Oh! A dragon turtle hatched! What a very auspicious day!" Princess Mizuki stated as she suddenly patted the head of the newly hatched dragon turtle.
"His name is Kametaro. I hope that you will treat him like your best friend." Adrian suddenly stated with a smile.
"Mediator... I have yet to agree with that name." King Kame Yashashi stated but it seems that his ramblings are falling into deft ears.
"Kametaro?" Princess Mizuki stated as something within her or rather she suddenly became calmer when she looks at Kametaro.
"Kame?" Kametaro exclaimed in a tone as if it is bewildered.
"I will make sure to take care of you. As they say, it is an adult's job to be a good example to those that are younger than them." Princess Mizuki stated as she proceeded to carry Kametaro away.
"Wait... my daughter!" King Kame Yashashi stated but he was still ignored by the daughter that she cherished so much.
"I hope that you have a great life this time around, my friend." Adrian thought as he saw the two smiling happily.
"I am sorry for my daughter's intrusion, mediator. Where was I in our discussion?" King Kame Yashashi stated.
"You told me that I need the Spirit Jade to absorb the blood of the Mother of Dragons. Are there any other things that I need to do?" Adrian stated.
"That should be the best requirement, but I think you should have Wisteria absorb the two things in an area that is lush with nature. The story that I told you about told us that the Dragon Turtle that attempted that was able to absorb the energy around them. It might be that there is some form of resonance that should happen." King Kame Yashashi stated as he told every bit of information he knew about the legend.
"I see. Thank you for your kindness even though I literally destroyed your realm entrance earlier." Adrian stated.
"Actually, we are very much glad that you did such a thing." King Kame Yashashi stated. "How so? I thought you were there to punish me earlier." Adrian stated as he did not think that he would be thanked for destroying a gate.
"Actually, the entrance to the realm has long been faulty which makes time flow differently here compared to the outside world. We, the Dragon Turtles, have long lifespans but there are beings that live here that do not. They would wither and die should they step out of this realm which is why I prohibited the short-lived ones to ever venture out." King Kame Yashashi stated.
"I see which also meant that Urashima Taro's return a hundred years into the outside world is coincidence. He was unfortunately caught in a storm of plausibility, but he was saved because of the Cintamani that the princess gifted him. I did notice that something was a bit off earlier when I entered but I also fixed it when I recreated the gate." Adrian stated as it was mostly due to him being bothered that there was some disruption in the time stream.
"For that, I humbly thank you. We would now be able to trade with the outside world again as time has finally stabilized. You could say that your presence here has changed a lot of things for the better. I would like to give you this in return as it might help you in your journey." King Kame Yashashi stated as he suddenly took out a small red box and revealed a beautiful pearl.
"This is a Dragon Bead or others often call it Dragon Orbs." Adrian stated as he is familiar with this thing as Kanlaon has multiple of them.
"Yes. This is actually an old treasure here in our realm and I would like you to have this." King Kame Yashashi stated.
"There is no need to go that far. I only fixed what I am supposed to fix anyway." Adrian stated. "You have done a great service for us. Also, this Dragon Bead is not something that we can even use. It is actually just gathering dust in our treasury, but it resonated earlier with the true dragon that you have as a companion. Please take this as a sign of respect from us." King Kame Yashashi stated as he even bowed to Adrian which made him unable to refuse.
"I guess I should leave that decision to Kanlaon then. What do you think about this Dragon Bead?" Adrian stated as Kanlaon was peacefully napping coiled loosely around his neck.
"It is a Dragon Bead that has no element, master. It also seems to be a bit broken, but I believe that it is interesting. Please let me have it." Kanlaon stated.
"If you want it then we shall take it. Thank you for the wonderful gift that you have bestowed upon us." Adrian stated as he took the Dragon Bead and handed it to Kanlaon.
Kanlaon infused some of his blood into the dragon bead and it suddenly shrank to the size of a marble. The Dragon Bead vanished in the blink of an eye, but Kanlaon must have done something to it or stored it in a place where no one can see it. Seeing that the gift was taken, King Kame Yashashi felt that a load was taken off his shoulder.
"Thank you for the information once again. It was very helpful for me. I shall be on my way as I have other things that I must take care of." Adrian stated as he gave respect to King Kame Yashashi by bowing which the king also did in return.
Adrian went out of the hidden realm and time did not pass greatly like what happened to Urashima Taro. It seems that he was able to fix the temporal anomaly deep in the ocean, but he also thought that the anomaly might have been due to the world shrinking back then. It is only recently that the world has expanded to almost half its original size.
"I need the blood of the Mother of Dragons." Adrian muttered as he sent a conversation ton/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Basil.
Equinox: Where are you right now?
Basil: Guild Master! Uhm... I am at the Isle of the Dragons tending to the dragon eggs.
Equinox: I see. I need your help with something so I will meet you there.
Adrian did not even wait for Basil's reply and immediately teleported away. He arrived in a blink of an eye to the place where Basil was. The sudden appearance of a spatial rift alarmed the dragon lords and ancient dragons, but they already knew who this energy signature was. Basil also informed them that he was coming which is why he was not greeted by dragon breath bonanza.
"Guild Master! What do you need me for?" Basil asked.
"I need some of your blood. A bucket would do." Adrian stated which made Basil go in shock as her face suddenly became pale.
"You dare want something from the mother of dragons! You might be the mother of dragon's friend and leader, but you shall not covet her body!" One of the ancient dragons that was
beside Basil stated.
"Please do not be rude to the guild master. I am sure that he needs my blood for something important." Basil stated as she reprimanded the dragons that rose with killing intent.
"I guess I should have started with the reason." Adrian stated as he sounded like he just got why he sounded rude before.
"The other guild officers did tell me that you were straightforward when it came to personality, but I did not expect this much. Why do you need my blood for?" Basil asked and Adrian proceeded to explain.
"To create a Cintamani for a dragon turtle that is not half spirit. I guess there has been a case like that back then." One of the ancient dragons stated.
"So, it is actually real?" Basil asked.
"Apologies, mother. My memory is still a bit hazy as I have just woken up, but I have heard of something like that from the elder that trained me. What the demon says might be plausible, but I should caution you on not giving your blood to others easily. The blood of the mother of dragons contains the power of the Mother Dragon Goddess Tiamat as you are her mortal reincarnation." The ancient dragon stated.
