Omega Summoner

"How did you get such a prized possession? Any person in the eastern continent would have died trying to get this token." The Vermillion Bird stated in shock as it could not believe that the elusive Princess Yinyue would actually give her token to someone else.

Adrian then explained how he got the token as he did not get it just by meeting the princess in question by chance. He was able to meet her by saving her from bandits but that was still a huge stroke of luck from his side. Princess Yinyue is said to be very elusive and does not like to interact with other people.

Princess Yinyue is said to only interact with those that she has deemed as trustworthy. It is said that she has the ability to hear the hearts of people due to her special nature. General Li was not even the only one that wanted to become one with her as she is drop dead gorgeous upon seeing.

It is even said that General Li was not even that handsome of a fellow compared to his competitors, but he was the one chosen by the princess. Among the hundreds of men lined up to sought after the princess, it was only General Li that got the warm reception. It is even said that he was chosen because only his heart was pure of love for the princess which she heard from his heart sound as they call it.

The rumor that the princess could hear the sound of hearts is not just fabricated with just this story. It is said that she held this ability even as a small child as she was often the one that pointed out the traitors inside the family. She was also present when the current emperor would meet people as she could detect the lies and deception from their hearts.

"He has that kind of luck where he is attracted to unlucky and burdensome things but he conquers them with ingenuity and dedication." Levin Cloud blurted out as that what often happens to Adrian even in real life.

"Hey! Even I hate burdensome things you know." Adrian rebuked but he also knows that it often happens to him.

"Anyways, it should be impossible for the princess to be attacked by bandits easily. She should have her own secret guard that the emperor himself appointed. I am not doubting your story but that should not be the case if we are speaking about the Mistress of Sound." The Vermillion Bird stated as Adrian's story did not mention any secret guard.

"I was not able to ask about what really happened as I only saw them like that." Adrian replied as he did not stick around after he sent Yinyue to the lower district of Kunlun where she met with her betrothed.

"Maybe the secret guards were already fighting the hidden expert that was the mastermind of the bandit attack. You did say that their charm lost the power to disperse the eyes of others. You did not see the hidden guards because they were battling another mighty foe!" Kabrakan stated as he speculated of what happened from the many novels that he read.

All of them looked at him and wanted to rebuke his story but they could not do so. His story might be plausible enough that it might be true if what the Vermillion Bird says about Princess Yinyue is true. Adrian did feel that the normal guards around the Yinyue back then were rather weak, or they might have become weak due to an unknown influence.

Adrian then tried to remember, and the bandits did know martial arts. He always thought that bandits should just be ruffians. Bandits back then never targeted anyone with great influence but the lowly masses and merchants. Even bandits knew that they would be exterminated if they targeted the son or daughter of a noble or anyone of power.

"Anyways, if this is the token of the princess then could I use it to enter the Imperial City of Hinomoto?" Adrian asked.

"You will be able to do so but you could also be sent straight to the prison. If you only used that then they might claim that you forged an important token of a member of the imperial family. Fret not my dear friend as I will send you with a token of my own and even send note to the emperor himself.

I have enjoyed our story session this time and the stories from your dear friends are also great to hear. The close friends of my dear friend are also my friends as well." The Vermillion Bird stated as notificatios popped up for Levin Cloud, Kabrakan and Peridot.

All three earned the Friend of a Divine Beast title which they greatly appreciated. They liked the fact that they could not easily traverse the southern part of the eastern continent without much difficulty as they have the Vermillion Bird as their backer.

"I would like to ask a question to the great Vermillion Bird if that is fine with you." Peridot stated as she wanted to ask the Vermillion Bird if it knows something about what is happening in the eastern continent.

"If you are asking about the ones that are hunting the Ryujin then even, I do not know. The Ryujin are the safeguards of the eastern continent as they are usually the ones that creates balance. Your race is also the only reason why the whole eastern continent is not embroiled in total war right now.

The fact that there are beings that could threaten a powerful race such as yourself then it only means that they must have a demigod backing them at the very least. Even, the four divine beasts, have started to wonder what type of hidden power has sprung up as we could feel that our influence is also starting to slowly dwindle." The Vermillion Bird stated.

The four went out of the tower with another question but they have an answer to their current struggle.
