Omega Summoner

Chapter 654: Mt. Thunder

”So, how did you meet the Mistress of Sound?” Peridot asked as even she knows important persons in the eastern continent.

Peridot even knows her by face because she is often invited to her masterʼs parties just to play music. She is under the protection of the Ryujin because they fancy her talent and understanding of music. She did not talk to her, but she remembered that Yinyue played such heavenly music.

”Her carriage was attacked by bandits, and I just happen to pass by the area.” Adrian stated but Peridot looked at him with disbelief.

”You are not the type to help someone willingly unless they are your friends, or you feel pity for them. At least, that has been your usual reaction, but you are always a softie and end up helping others albeit small.” Peridot stated as she remembered times where Adrian would help strangers with small acts of kindness.

For example, one of the kids were being bullied in plain view of everyone. The others did not want to get caught up with the bullying, so they stayed silent. Adrian did not stay silent and even shouted that the bullies are shameful for ganging up on one person despite being five in number.

When Adrian said those words, small whispers and judging eyes surrounded the bullies which made them back off. Adrian did not necessarily confront the bullies, but he gave the one being bullied a chance to get away while scaring the bullies away.

”One of them had the mark of an acquaintance which is why I helped them out. There was even a bandit that was a former martial artist, but I managed to beat him with my soulbounds.” Adrian replied.

”Why did they want you to go to the governorʼs office so bad?” Peridot asked.

”It seems that they want me get rewarded but at the same time give me a mission. The attack on Yinyue is not a coincidence after all.” Adrian stated.

Adrian is sure that the attack on Yinyueʼs carriage is not an accident but planned out. All the details point to it, but Adrian did not want to accept a mission to find out the culprit. He is already having difficulty with his missions on the central continent, so he did not want to add another burden on him.

”Why did you not want to accept the mission? The reward should be very good considering the governors are direct disciples of the sage that protects Kunlun.

”I did not accept the mission because I am busy as it is. I am hunting a doll mask after helping Kimat evolve. I should be able to hunt it down by now. Also, did you not see how the governor reacted when I mentioned about him having a large lightning magic stone?” Adrian stated with a smile.

”The governor was there? You mean the guard that was accompanying Yinyue was the governor?” Peridot asked.

”He was. I already knew it the moment they started flirting with each other on the way. I almost wanted burn them down or send them to outer space. Even Fei looked like she wanted to go away from that couple. Anyways, who is your companion for our little excursion?” Adrian replied.

”Oh! I forgot to introduce him. His name is Saru and he is my guard for our outing today. He is a newly appointed guard so be easy on him. He is very diligent and a great combatant, so he is very reliable.” Peridot stated which made Saru shy.

”Mistress!” Saru stated as he got shy from the praise.

”I am Saru of the Demonic Monkey Brigade. Pleasure to meet a friend of the Mistress.” Saru stated as he slightly bowed towards Adrian.

”Although, it seems that he is not the only one though.” Adrian muttered softly as he could feel the gazes of two other people that is much more powerful than Saru.

”Did you say something?” Peridot asked as she did not catch what Adrian said.

”Ah! I asked you where we will be going to find the Large Lightning Magic Stone. I am not that familiar with the eastern continent so please be my guide for today.” Adrian stated but Saru heard what he said which made the latter increase his evaluation.

”We are going to Mt. Thunder for that large lightning magic stone that you want.” Peridot replied with a large smile, but Adrian felt goosebumps when he heard it.

”Do not tell me that we will mine for that stone ourselves?” Adrian asked as that is the face that Peridot makes when she wants things done.

”No…it is not we but you. You are the one that needs the stone. I will go there to improve my lightning magic as I am not able to easily control its direction.” Peridot stated as she had a pumped-up face.

”If I knew this would be happening then I would have resorted to sneaking inside of the Azure Dragon Palace.” Adrian stated with a heavy sigh while he noticed that the gazes of the people often landed on them as they are an unusual pair.

”We really are getting a lot of attention though.” Adrian added.

”If that is what you are worried about then worry not. Veiled Mist!” Peridot stated as mist suddenly came out of her clothes and covered the three of them.

The citizens of Kunlun that are looking at them previously got shocked upon the creation of mist and the disappearance of the three. In the end, the people of Kunlun ended up gossiping about a demon and a Ryujin walking together for the whole day.

”Nice skill although it must be difficult to maintain.” Adrian stated seeing that Peridotʼs mana started to decrease at a fast rate.

”It is but I can keep this up until we are out of town. This skill is very useful if you want to escape from enemies or from your masterʼs training.” Peridot stated which made the two friends laugh at her antics.

”I bet your master is furious every time that you vanish like this.” Adrian stated as this was the skill that Peridot got from the dark god raid.
