Omega Summoner
chapter-1179

Adrian denied the quest this time as he does not want to be hunted in the eastern continent. He would have accepted the quest if Kondo agreed with the exchange, but he did not. Adrian felt sorry for Kondo as he knows that what he wants to achieve is almost close to impossible even with his help.

"If we can inquire on what the Elixir of Calling does?" Xiaoyan asked as she is naturally curious.

"It should not be a problem to tell you what that elixir does as only the scroll should not be here in the mortal realm. The Elixir of Calling does what it is called as it calls upon those that are affected by what we call the Great Sleep. It calls upon the souls of those that are wandering in the afterlife even though their mortal body has yet to expire." Adrian stated.

Adrian wanted to say those that are in a comatose, but the game system referred to it as the Great Sleep instead. Xiaohei and Xiaoyan are shocked upon learning of this as there is no known cure for the Great Sleep. The only known method for this would be to have a Mystic Shaman send their souls to the afterlife to fetch them.

The Great Sleep is a disease of the soul in Pandemonium as a result of a sudden shock to it. The Aspect of Sleep Hypnos is said to be the twin of the Aspect of Death Thanatos which is why sleep is often referred to as a gentle death like state. It is said that our souls travel to the afterlife when we sleep and our souls could also be trapped there.

"If this elixir is created then the great benefactor would be incredibly rich. A lot of influential people are affected by this Great Sleep, and I even heard that the Princess of the Yamamoto clan is also affected by it." Xiaohei stated.

When Xiaohei said that the Princess of the Yamamoto Clan is afflicted by it, Adrian put two and two together. The person that Kondo might want to save must be the princess of the clan that he is serving. Still, it would be impossible for him to complete the elixir by himself.

"If the great benefactor is kind enough to tell the ingredients for the elixir, then our clan might be able to get it for you to produce." Xiaoyan stated as money is needed in anything that involves getting powerful.

"If you can get this then we might be able to create it." Adrian said as he said the ingredients.

When Adrian muttered the ingredients, the color of the faces of the two started to whiten. Just thinking of getting the ingredients made them lose their souls. The ingredients Adrian said would make anyone walk into a death trap.

The ingredients that Adrian said can only be taken from the four divine beasts. A piece of the shell that came from the Black Tortoise. A fang that came from the White Tiger residing in the west. A dragon scale from the Azure Dragon in the east. A feather from the Vermillion Bird in the south.

All the ingredients that Adrian said are taken from the Four Divine Beasts of the Eastern Continent. Only a madman or someone incredibly powerful could pull that off. Those that wanted the things from the four divine beasts would need to trade their life in getting them.

Adrian did not say that that in order to craft the said elixir then one would need someone to channel the energy of death. The elixir can only be created by a being that can call upon the energy of death to combine all the ingredients. It was an elixir that did not even need to have an alchemist to craft it.

Kondo looked rather glum as he did not expect that something that he pursued could be attained by sacrificing the scroll. He would have done so if he was the owner of the scroll, but he was just someone entrusted with it. He then walked to a rather shady area of the city and came in front of a beggar.

"Take this note to the Intelligence Officer of the Yamamoto family. Make sure that no one knows what is inside or else you know what will happen to you." Kondo stated as he gave five gold coins along with the note to the beggar.

"No worries. You do know that we of the Beggar Sect always keep secrets to the grave when it comes to our premium customers." The old beggar stated as he suddenly vanished.

The note that Kondo gave details of his interaction with Adrian. He also said that the scroll will be the repayment of the elixir, but he knows that they will never exchange it. Kondo still has one last chance as he can talk to the Black Tortoise himself as he can present himself as a person that is under the Yamamoto family.

It is said that the Black Tortoise has a vast amount of knowledge, and it should be able to help them without exchanging for the scroll. Kondo believes that the Black Tortoise will be able to solve his problem but the words that Adrian said carries a heavy weight in his mind. Without even knowing who the elixir will be used for, Adrian gave him a warning of four hundred days.

"Two hundred days has already passed since the princess has been afflicted by the Great Sleep. If what the scribe says is true, then I only have two hundred days left to fetch her soul. We must reach the northern region as fast as possible." Kondo stated as he started to become active.

The aloof ronin that was passive before is now actively participating in the battles that he previously slept on. The travel speed to the northern region became much faster as a result because of this. They were already on the outskirts of the northern region before they knew it.
