Chapter 2055: Finding the Immortal Taro I



"Risks? Will I be targeted by a specific evil organization or something if I meet with the Immortal Taro?" Adrian asked.

"No, it is not like that. The Immortal that is named Taro is actually a drunkard that looks like a child. He is also someone that cannot be harmed as he possesses the Blessing of the Turtle Dragon King. He cannot leave the coastal village he is staying at due to it as well. Anyone that tries to approach the Immortal named Taro would often be subjected to the torment of unknown entities that they cannot see." The branch manager stated.

"I do not have any malicious intent in approaching him. I only need to know where he is currently. I guess it is a good thing that I will be able to meet him easily since he is trapped in one village." Adrian stated as he sipped his tea.

"If that is what the benefactor wishes then you can find the Immortal named Taro in Kameryuu Village, but he is said to be elusive. It seems that his existence has already transcended that of a human which is why even normal people cannot see him. Given the benefactor's state, you will not have any trouble encountering him at all. Is there anything else that the benefactor needs?" The branch manager stated.

"Nothing for the moment. Please give me the bill so that I can start looking for him." Adrian stated as he finished eating the cakes as well.Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

Adrian paid the bill and headed to the location that the branch manager has given him. Even though he knew that he would have some difficulty in finding the person in question, he had no other leads. He had to risk it all as there is only one being that has the power to go to the Hidden Realm of the Dragon Turtles. He just needs to believe that the Immortal named Taro will be the one that can solve his problems.

He arrived at Kameryuu Village easily as it was not that far from Vermillion City. He just needed to go south of the city and ride Sirius for about three hours. Since Sirius had to go full speed, he did not encounter any other people as they would just see them like a blur. If Adrian walked, then he would have taken at least nine hours to arrive at the location.

"The village itself seem to be quite peaceful as the people here are interacting but they are still wary. The check in the gate was very hands on but the toke from the Vermillion Bird was very effective in getting inside." Adrian thought.

Adrian also asked the guards if they knew of someone called Taro in the village and they had this strange expression. They asked him what he needs the Immortal named Taro for and he told them that he has questions about the Dragon Turtles. The guards were a bit shocked, but it seems that the Dragon Turtles are also revered in this village along with the Vermillion Bird.

"Even if you have that token, I cannot help you." Urashima Taro stated as he suddenly looked distant.

"Why? I was told that I only needed to show you this token." Adrian stated.

"Let us see if you think so. Do you wish to know of a story of an innocent boy?" Urashima Taro asked.

"Sure. I am not going anywhere right now." Adrian stated.

Urashima Taro then started the story of a young innocent boy that fishes in the ocean as his mother was sick. He was enjoying his time and then he saw some young boys tormenting a turtle that looked cute in his eyes. He scared off the other young boys and saved the cute turtle only to be shocked that it was not an ordinary turtle.

The cute turtle returned to him one day when he was out fishing and gave him a precious medicine. The medicine was able to cure her mother, but he needed to follow the cute turtle in return. The young innocent boy accepted the request as it was a miracle medicine that cured his mother upon consumption. He promised the turtle to follow it to its place the next day as his mother is now cured.

The young innocent boy bid farewell to his mother as she knew the price for her medicine. He was invited to another place that can only be called magical as it was a place of corals made of gold. The turtle that he managed to save was actually a princess of the Dragon Turtles and she toured with her for three days. The two beings managed to play with each other to their heart's content without even minding the time.

Seeing that he spent too much time, the young boy decided to return to his mother. The dragon turtle princess was reluctant to say goodbye, but she knew that the boy needed to return. The princess went to her father as he also wanted to reward the young boy. The Dragon Turtle King blessed the young boy with his blessing while the princess gave the boy a box that she told to never open.

The boy became able to breathe in water due to the blessing and returned back to his mother or that is what he thought. He did not expect that a hundred years suddenly passed when he returned. The mother that was young is now an old woman that managed to live because of her strong will and the effects of the medicine. She waited for the return of her son before peacefully dying after a month of his return.

The young boy saddened with grief suddenly became distraught. He threw the box given by the princess to the ground and it shattered. As soon as the box shattered, a pearl like object came out and it fused with the boy which gave him his forever young image. It also made him unable to return to the Hidden Realm of the Dragon Turtles.
