Adrian was able to maintain order when it came to the players that wanted to change into Deep Ones. After all, the waters in the world are yet to be explored which means that they have a lot of dungeons that are unexplored. He also learned that the new players that spawn Deep Ones arrive in the Deep Spring only. They will always arrive at Avalon as this is the only spawning grounds for them.
Adrian also learned that there is a new dungeon located in the Deep Spring. It is called the Deep Ones Training Grounds which spawns low level aquatic monsters that the new Deep Ones players can defeat for them to level up. Since Adrian's territory is close to the ocean, he was asked by the Deep Ones to create a teleportation circle that easily leads to it. It takes about half an hour of walking to reach the ocean, but he easily complied.
Adrian created a teleportation route to the ocean which made all of the players that were Deep Ones cheer. They can now access the ocean through a managed teleportation gate which they can pay ten copper coins per use. The players did not say much of the payment for the teleportation as it was relatively cheap since it is only one way. They would need to either walk back to Avalon or use a Return Scroll which costs one silver to return back.
Adrian seeing that there was no longer anymore job for him to do has gone to Old Man Pann. While he was walking with his soulbounds, the cute floating turtle that is Wisteria suddenly went in front of him. He could feel the tense atmosphere that Wisteria is emitting which made him worried. He knew that some soulbounds could get sick and all of his soulbounds are rare monsters that any sickness they get would definitely be difficult to cure.
"Master, I want to become stronger! I want to evolve like my brothers and sister!" Wisteria stated as she wanted to become dependable like the others.
"I thought you were feeling unwell. I also want to make you stronger but even I do not know how. Do you have access to something like Knowledge of your Ancestors? Saena has something like that which is why her evolution path can be done since she has information." Adrian stated as he cannot see any information about Wisteria's evolution path at all.
"Unfortunately, I do not have anything like that master. I am a new species myself as far as I know." Wisteria stated looking defeated.
"We should ask Old Man Pann since we are heading towards him. He should be able to help you evolve as he is the leading monster rancher!" Adrian stated in a cheerful tone in order to make Wisteria happier.
Adrian knew that Wisteria had this thought because she was defeated in the fight. She was able to defend the guild members which Adrian praised her for, but it seems that she also felt useless. Adrian knows that this is Wisteria's instinct as a beast as she believes that deep down, she is weak. Monsters would always want to become strong in order to fend for themselves as they are still bound by the laws of the jungle even if they become soulbounds.
"You finally arrive. You did not treat me as a priority now that you have a divine lake below your territory." Old Man Pann stated."Hello as well, old man. It is also nice to meet you again, Farmhand Vince." Adrian stated. "Wassup! I learned that form one of the people helping here sometimes. They say that it is the trendy way to say hello." Farmhand Vince stated.
"I am glad that you seem to be adjusting well." Adrian stated as he was worried that a person that is out of place in the timeline would never adjust but Farmhand Vince surprised him.
"Get back to work! You still have a lot to do!" Old Man Pann berated his farmhand.
"I am going. I just needed a breather for a moment." Farmhand Vince stated as he returned back to his duties of taking care of his crops that are fed to the monsters.
"So, let the strange one out." Old Man Pann stated as Adrian summoned Kenos.
A magic circle that looked like a ball of cosmic silk webs appeared and Kenos is summoned to the real world. If one were to look at him then they would see an odd sight of a glittery silk web attached to nothing, but it is floating. The force of gravity does not exist to hold down Kenos as if he is free from its restraints. Kenos woke up from his slumber but all they could see are dark beady eyes that look like a cosmos and not his body.
"Amazing! It is really an Origin Insectoid! You are one lucky and unlucky being, young brat." Old Man Pann stated.
"Why am I both lucky and unlucky?" Adrian asked as he suddenly became curious.
"You are lucky that you managed to tame one, but you are also unlucky because they take thousands of years to molt. You would be at least a thousand years old when Kenos shows its juvenile form to you." Old Man Pann stated which made Adrian speechless.
Old Man Pann basically told Adrian that Kenos will not evolve in a thousand years. Kenos' ability to perceive the worlds around it might be in the realm of the impossible but that is also the only thing that he could do. Unless Adrian can fast forward time by thousands of years then Kenos will not evolve ever.
"There must be some way to make him molt. We are demons that can bend time itself. What if I made Kenos' time move forward using temporal magic." Adrian stated.
"It might be possible but the most you could do is one day per spell cast. It will take you ten years if you continuously use it but even that will not guarantee an Origin Insectoid to molt." Old Man Pann stated as it was now Adrian that had the look of defeat.
