Chapter 1767 Cure for Dragonsbane III

"It seems that we need to move fast or else he might not be able to hold on." Adrian stated as he looked at the chat that Levin Cloud has told him.

Adrian wanted to tell his best friend that it was a foolish decision to actually sacrifice 10% of his total stats in order to use a forbidden spell but he cannot control him. Adrian also knows some forbidden spells from the Daemos race, but he does not even dare to use it. In fact, he was not even told the entire spell but only a piece of it so that he can use it in extremely dire situations.

"What are we going to do then, guild master?" Ark asked.

"Easy. We will ask the most intelligent scholar that actually has an interest in the outside world. Follow me!" Adrian stated as he called Ark and Pana to come with him.

The three of them went to one of the residences of the Daemos where a pocket dimension of only those that are invited can come in. Adrian activated the entrance to the pocket dimension and was suddenly transported to a place filled with scrolls, books and any literature known to the world. They met a rather young looking Daemos that is wearing glasses and a scholar's hat.

"It is nice to see you again, teacher. I hope that my visit is not something that will inconvenience you." Adrian stated as he greeted his Scribe Teacher, Aernas.

"It seems that you only come to me when you need help. Tell me, what do you need now brat?!" Aernas stated as Adrian does rarely visit him.

"Even if I do visit you, you only have time to read and research and send me away, so I barely bother. You only have interest in what I say when it involves a difficult question. This time, I have also come with that same proposition." Adrian stated.

"If it is regarding the matters of those dragons then drop it. I will not help those scaly lizards even if you beg me." Aernas stated as he seemed to be incredibly angry when he said that. You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin

"I know that you have a deep grudge against the dragons, teacher... but this situation involves our friends. You know them as they sometimes help you after all when you need some literature that is rare." Adrian stated.

"So, Peridot and Basil are affected. It is a shame if I lose such good underlings but the thought of helping the dragon race sickens me." Aernas stated as he still has a grudge from back then.

"What did the dragons do that made him act like that? He is one of the bigshots of the Daemos race after all." Pana whispered to Ark.

"I bet it must be so tragic that he would not help them even if the dragons are at death's door." Ark stated as he guessed that it must have been a sad memory.

"I think I do remember something, but I am not sure if it will be helpful." Aernas suddenly stated as he was contemplating if he should say it.

"Any information would be gold for us right now as time is running out for the dragons after all. The Daemos also has a pact with them which means we cannot actively help them as well." Adrian stated.

"There is a mystical herb that is said to be like a parasite from a world tree. If I am not wrong, then it should be called Orkid." Aernas stated.

"Orchid? Is that not a plant in the real world?" Ark whispered to Pana.

"It is not spelled the same. It is ORKID. Even the elves know of it as a mystical herb that is said to sprout out from a world tree, and it is something that can only appear once in a million years, or the legend goes." Pana stated.

"The dark elf is correct. It is a mystical plant that is said to be able to bring even the dead back to life. I have not witnessed it in action as it is also known with another moniker." Aernas stated.

"The Flower of War and Destruction." Pana stated which made Ark get shocked.

"It is indeed known by that name because that very flower has sapped vitality from the World Tree. Any being that eats this flower would be granted temporary immortality as they would not get sick by normal means or grow old for five thousand years." Aernas stated.

"But why is it called the Flower of War and Destruction?" Ark asked.

"It is called that because it is one of the reasons why a great elven kingdom and a human kingdom went to a great war that embroiled half the central continent. It was the most prized possession that one can have as it basically promised immortality. It might not look like it, but many races are envious of the Asmodian descendants for we are eternal." Adrian stated as he also learned of this history.

Half the continent fought for a single flower that no one got in the end. It was sacrificed to the gods by the elves as a payment for protecting them from the horrors of greed. The gods of life were given the authority to intervene as the Orkid is something that contains divine power.

"If we can find one like it then we might be able to save the dragons then?" Ark stated.

"It is easier said than done because world trees are not exactly easy to get a hold of and one having an Orkid is like one in ten million." Pana stated as he thinks that would be unrealistic.

"It is feasible, but one would need to make a grand sacrifice to get one." Adrian suddenly stated.

"You are forbidden to do what you are thinking. You might get swallowed up by time itself." Aernas stated.
