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.

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.

Adian learned that the Dragon Turtles provide some protection to the village as long as they are careful to not provoke them. Any monster that looks like a turtle cannot be killed or harmed inside the village. In return for not harming the turtle monsters, the turtle monsters would also just lay on the beach side. The last time that someone harmed turtle monsters made them incur the wrath of the sea as they were suddenly hit by a tsunami.

"It seems that I am in the correct place. I feel some sort of divine energy in this village." Adrian thought as he headed towards the small shack located at the coast.

The Immortal named Taro seemed to be well-known amongst the villagers as he is said to have lived for at least three hundred years. They said that he did not age ever since he was missing at sea at the age of fifteen. The downside for that is his inability to move away from the village. There have been some immortals that came to know his story and tried to kidnap him to know the secret to his constitution, but they were killed before they left the village.

It is said that a mysterious force suddenly came down upon the immortals that dared to harm or kidnap the Immortal named Taro. All those that dared to harm him would suddenly explode into rocks without warning. Even normal human beings that tried to take him away were no different. In the end, the people grew distant and fearful of the Immortal named Taro but made sure to always be in his good side.

"They believed that his youthful looks are a result of the favor of the Dragon Turtle King." Adrian stated as he reached the small shack and saw a young kid drinking alcohol as if it is water.

"Who are you?! Go away! If you do not want to suddenly burst into rock shards or get swallowed by the ocean, then get the hell away from me." The young-looking kid stated.

"Are you perhaps, Urashima Taro?" Adrian asked as this was the full name that the Vermillion Bird and the Heihudie clan branch manager has given him.

"How do you know my full name?! Are you here to take me away or something?" Urashima Taro stated as it did not look like he was drunk at all.

"I came here because the Vermillion Bird told me that you would be able to tell me information about the Dragon Turtles as I need to know about them. You are the person that they have pointed me to when it comes to information about them. They even said that you can lead me to the Hidden Realm of the Dragon Turtles." Adrian stated.

"Do you want to die?" Urahishima Taro stated as he looked at Adrian because his current form did not make him look incredibly strong.

"I just need you to lead me to them. I am strong enough to protect myself." Adrian stated as he showed the token that represented 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.
