Adrian has now completed all the things that he needed to do for the territory. All he needs now is an architect that can build the things that he needs. He wanted to create the guild already, but he needs at least five more members to be present.
He decided to hunt for the material that is needed for Kimat to evolve into a Thunderlight Tigris. He does not know where to actually find the Large Lightning Magic Stone, but he knows that it might be obtained from lightning attribute monsters or areas where the lightning element is prevalent.
The thing that he needs to do is find an area that is governed by lightning attribute monsters, but he has never heard of an area like that. He then remembered that the northern part of the eastern continent is under the governance of the Azure Dragon.
The Azure Dragon is a holy beast that is said to govern the lightning of the heavens. If Adrian could find a large Lightning Magic Stone, then it would definitely be in the northern part of the eastern continent. The only problem for him is the way to the northern part as the other holy beasts do not like him.
While Adrian is pondering of a way to get to the northern part of the eastern continent, he suddenly remembered that Peridot is actually a resident of the Azure Palace that is located at the northern part of the eastern continent. She is practically royalty in the eastern continent and would be Adrian's ticket to success.
Adrian immediately called Peridot and learned that she is currently in the eastern continent. They already decided where they will meet. They will meet in an area that is not under the four holy beasts but by a mysterious sage which is the middle part of the eastern continent.
Adrian immediately teleported to the southern part of the eastern continent where the Vermillion Bird reigns. It is only this part of the eastern continent where he is safe. The inhabitants of the southern part of the eastern continent are even very respectful to him since he is the friend of the Vermillion Bird.
Adrian noticed that the southern part of the eastern continent has greatly changed from his last visit. There are now more inhabitants and definitely bustling energy for the whole territory. It seems that the Vermillion Bird is getting more powerful by the second that it is being revered.
Adrian did not have time to talk to the Vermillion Bird, but he also needs to know the passage to the area of Kunlun. The middle territory of the eastern continent is a large mountain that is named Kunlun by the mysterious sage said to be inhabiting it.
Thankfully, Peridot sent Adrian a copy of the map of the eastern continent which is very rare. To actually just give a complete map of the eastern continent meant that she is loaded. A map like that is generally priced at a thousand gold coins at the very least.
Adrian summoned Sirius and rode the Abyssal Fenrir around which garnered lots of attention. A demon riding a gigantic wolf is definitely something eye catching. It is also the first time that Adrian learned of what buff Sirius gave.
[You have summoned your soulbound Sirius.]
[Your damage is increased by 15% while Sirius is active on the battlefield.]
[Your evasion rate has been increased by 5%.]
[This buff is active to the summoner and all sources that is linked to him.]
The two buffs that Sirius gave are an increase in damage and evasion rate which is plenty overpowered in Adrian's opinion. Sirius just basically buffed himself by 15% increased damage and 5% evasion rate just by being summoned.
Adrian felt that the buff is definitely helpful because a decrease in a summoner's way of fighting via soulbound meant that they will be weakened. The buff is a way for the summoner class to have enough damage as before but lesser the soulbounds active since they are literally a one-man army.
Adrian set off immediately upon seeing what the buffs given by Sirius are. He headed towards the north of the southern part of the eastern territory. The map that was given to him told him to follow a stream that he will encounter just outside of the Vermillion Bird's territory.
With the help of the map and Sirius' speed, Adrian reached the end of the Vermillion Bird's territory in under an hour. He encountered a stream immediately upon exiting the territory and followed it due west.
On the way to the mountain called Kunlun, Adrian encountered a situation that can only be said to be in every historical drama or novel. A carriage is being attacked by bandits and it seems that the guards protecting it are losing.
Adrian wanted to ignore the carriage since he does not want to get ties to the eastern continent as the central continent is already difficult and tiring as it is. Adrian is about to ignore it when one of the guards in the carriage had a black butterfly as a tattoo in her arm.
The carriage might not be related to the Heihudie clan but that woman acting as the handmaiden of the one inside the carriage is definitely someone from that clan. Adrian had no choice but to summon two more of his soulbounds that focused on attack.
"Greater Summon: Kanlaon."
"Greater Summon: Kimat."
[You have summoned your soulbound Kanlaon.]
[Your fire and water elemental damage are increased by 15% while Kanlaon is active on the battlefield.]
[Your fire and water resistance are increased by 30% wihile Kanlaon is active on the battlefield.]
[This buff is active to the summoner and all sources that is linked to him.]
[You have summoned your soulbound Kimat.]
[Your speed and agility are increased by 15% while Kimat is active on the battlefield.]
[Your lightning resistance has been increased by 10% while Kimat is active on the battlefield.]
[This buff is active to the summoner and all sources that is linked to him.]
