Omega Summoner-Novel

Adrian teleported to the Eastern Continent in search for the lost soul of the eastern rider. He does not know if he will find it intact and hopes that it has not dissipated. If he really wanted to then he could just get a random soul here and present it to the other riders.

The place where the eastern rider fell in battle is located at the northern part of the eastern continent. It is under the territory of the Xuan Wu which means he needs to be stealthy. Among the Four Divine Beasts of the Eastern Continent, the Xuan Wu or the Black Tortoise.

The Xuan Wu is also called the Divine Beast of the Frigid North. It has peak elemental affinity with water and is said to have mastered ice as well. Even Adrian will not be able to block an attack from a divine beast of that caliber unless he has an aid of another divine beast.

What Adrian is curious about is the fact that the Xuan Wu is also said to be a Divine Beast of Death. Due to the cold being synonymous to death, the Xuan Wu is said to be linked to death as well. This is also supported by the fact that those that anger the divine beast would end up in a death like state as if they are frozen, but they are not encased in ice.

Although the Xuan Wu is called The Black Tortoise of Death, it is rather passive and benevolent. The divine beast also tends to use its abilities to protect the northern region where it is revered. It is a region that is actually different from the others as the Xuan Wu created a paradise in the middle of a frozen wasteland.

"I can only use the token that was given to me by the Heihudie Clan. I need information on how to reach the northern part of the eastern continent without being detected." Adrian thought as he walked towards a brothel that has a small black butterfly in the insignia.

Adrian decided to blend in and Polymorphed himself to look like a native of the eastern continent. He is currently located at the southern region as that is also the safest place he can go as he is a friend of the Vermillion Bird or Zhu Que.  When he entered the brothel, a lot of people looked towards him but then returned back to what they are doing as they only saw a young kid enter.

"Can I help you, young master? It seems that you are still quite young to avail our services." One of the courtesans stated but Adrian immediate showed her the trinket that the Head Mistress of the Heihudie clan gave him.

"Please follow me." The courtesan stated as she guided Adrian to one of the rooms.

As soon as the courtesan saw the trinket, she no longer had this playful attitude as she immediately became respectful. She guided Adrian towards a room at the far end of the corridor and this room could be said to be the most extravagant of all. She then bowed towards Adrian before saying her farewells as she is not high enough to entertain such an important person.

The room is decorated with a butterfly motif in the shade of purple. It also has paintings of mountains and rivers. The whole room could be said to be decorated to the point that everything makes it alive and beautiful. Everything blends together in harmony, and nothing is unpleasant to the eyes.

"Greetings, revered guest. This humble one's name is Ai Fang. I shall be the butterfly that will entertain you for any thing that you asked. May I know our revered guest's name as this is the first time that I have seen you?" Ai Fang asked Adrian.

Ai Fang is dressed like a courtesan that is off the highest rank. She could be described as very beautiful that has the alure of a refined young woman. She exudes confidence and beauty because she herself knows that she is all that. She still has that calm and humble aura around her that makes it easy to talk to her.

"I was still polymorphed. I am Equinox of the Daemos and Champion of the Twin Gods." Adrian stated as he took off his polymorph and showed his real form.

Ai Fang could be seen a little bit startled as this is the first time that she has seen a demon, but it was that demon. The most important benefactor of the clan that not only saved them from being destroyed back then but also saved their current mistress.

"This humble one could not believe that she will be able to serve the greatest benefactor of the clan. I shall do anything within my power to help the benefactor." Ai Fang stated as she bowed towards Adrian.

"The bow is unnecessary as I only helped your clan because of some circumstances. I apologize if I came in a disguise, but it is needed to make sure that I do not get too much attention." Adrian stated.

"If that is the case great benefactor then take this advice from me. If you are to use a disguise, then please use an older looking disguise because your current one was a bit too young looking. You are quite lucky that the demographic for our brothel is those of a younger age group which is why they did not think you are strange.

Other brothels controlled by the clan tend to have older age groups. Please bear that in mind if you decide to enter another of our clan owned establishments." Ai Fang stated as she gave Adrian good advice should he go to one of the establishments of the Heihudie Clan in the northern region.

"I see. Thank you for the advice." Adrian replied as he only used his default human look that is identical to his appearance in the real world.

"I am happy that I am of service to the great benefactor. Please tell me what does the great benefactor need." Ai Fang stated as she looked at Adrian with a serious gaze which means she is now ready for business.

"I need to go to the northern region where the Horseman of Conquest was vanquished. Can you tell me how to go there without gathering much attention?" Adrian asked.

"If travelling to the northern region is the thing that the great benefactor wants then we can assist you with that. Traveling merchants are currently here in the southern region and they would need guards to escort them to the northern region which is their first destination. The trades between the north and the south are in great number because of the demand for food.

The Divine Beast of the North might have created a paradise in the northern region but that does not mean they can feed everyone living there. We also have some merchants on our side that is headed there so we can just let them escort you to the northern region without getting much attention." Ai Fang stated.

If Adrian was not the greatest benefactor of the Heihudie Clan, then Ai Fang would have interrogated more but he was. They were given strict instructions to never question the motives of the great benefactor unless it is detrimental to the clan. Since their great benefactor wants to go to the site where the Horseman of Conquest was defeated then it does not affect the clan's wellbeing.

"If you can arrange that then I would be extremely grateful." Adrian replied as he did not expect that he would get easy access.

"I also have to warn the benefactor though as the place where the Horseman of Conquest has died became a dangerous place." Ai Fang stated as she felt that she needed to inform him to the best of his abilities.

"How did it become dangerous?" Adrian asked.

"The area has become tainted with the mana of the Horseman of Conquest and the fallen dead spirits of warriors have transformed into Yakshas. It is also under the surveillance of a hidden group that killed the followers of the dark god. We do not have complete information about this group as even the name of their organization eludes us." Ai Fang stated.

"If that is the case then they would find my purpose of being there as very suspicious." Adrian muttered.ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet - novelenglish.net . bin

"If the great benefactor wants to go there then you will not be seen as suspicious because you can just give the excuse that you are looking for a sword in the Ten Thousand Sword Mound that has risen after the fall of the Horseman of Conquest. A lot of the people in the eastern continent have been trying their luck to find a sword that is tailored for them in that location." Ai Fang added to which Adrian looked at her with disbelief.

"If it is called the Then Thousand Sword Mound then the dead soul of the eastern rider might have inadvertently created a dungeon." Adrian thought as he slightly smiled as this might be easier than he expected.
