2050 Journey to the East II
It is not just Adrian that was unable to teleport to the Eastern Continent. Players that tried using a Long-Distance Teleportation Scroll also failed. Fortunately for them, the scrolls did not get destroyed as each of those cost like 30 gold each. All of the player suddenly bombarded the forums that the Eastern Continent could no longer be teleported to because of some interference.
Adrian suddenly saw the forums of teleportation to the eastern continent being impossible. Seeing that no world message was given, the source should not be a powerful beast that can destroy the world. It was then a video of the source of the events is uploaded to one of the streamers called Funky Samurai. It uploaded a few seconds ago but a lot of players started to watch it.
The video started with a beautiful woman wearing a flowy kimono flying to the sky. The beautiful woman wore a golden headdress that had the features of an oni. She then held a large crystal-like thing that looked like a red spider lily. With the power of the crystal red spider lily, she vaporized every being that was supposed to subjugate her.
It seems that the streamer named Funky Samurai is also one of the people that died due to the beautiful woman. Adrian then read the descriptions of the video that the Funky Samurai was part of a subjugation team called upon by the Four Divine Beasts. They were all sent to the area to stop the resurrection of the Goddess Izanami, but they all failed. It seems that there were also players that allied themselves to the people that revived the Goddess Izanami.
Adrian managed to pause the video to a specific time frame to see the players that seem to have allied with the Goddess Izanami. He was able to recognize two of them as they were none other than Tai and Vixen. Tai was the oni masked player that he fought before, and Vixen was the player that has the Kitsune as her race. Adrian could tell that their organization was the one that revived the Goddess Izanami.
Adrian knew of the Goddess Izanami because she is one of the Gods of Death that were sealed because she became mad. He does not know why but the Goddess Izanami did not look like she was under madness. He also wondered if his authority could compel the goddess, but he does not know if it will affect a goddess with madness. Gods or goddesses that have gone mad will no longer adhere to the laws in place by the world.
"Seeing that there is no world quest that popped out meant that she might be containing her madness somehow. The other gods of death are not sending any cry for help which means that she is not wreaking havoc upon her revival. If she enveloped the eastern continent in her own divine energy, then teleportation would only alert her with my presence. The only way to the eastern continent now is to either traverse via air or sea." Adrian stated.
Adrian adjusted the coordinates of his teleportation to the area outside of the eastern continent. He did not need to fully fly or sail towards there as he can also teleport in the area outside of the eastern continent. He was able to safely choose a location where the spatial interference is not in effect. As soon as he locked in on the coordinates, he immediately vanished from his location.
Adrian appeared around five hundred miles away from the land of the eastern continent. He had Sirius in his shadow while Wisteria is his hands in her chibi form. He then summoned Kanlaon to ride towards the eastern continent but suddenly chose not to do so. He did not want to gather attention as there might be people that are spies of the organization where Tai and Vixen are a part of. He might suddenly get ambushed if he was not careful which is why Adrian chose to fly towards land instead even if it will take him double time.
He teleported just east of the southern part of the Eastern Continent. He wanted to enter Vermillion City as fast as possible and talk to the Vermillion Bird. It took Adrian about two hours of continuous flying before he reached land as he also needed to evade the eyes of fishermen. The fishermen might be watchmen stationed there as nobody will fish in the dangerous waters unless they are powerful.
"I finally reached the place, but I need to disguise myself." Adrian thought as he used Glamour to change his appearance to that of a native wandering swordsman in the eastern continent.
Adrian will still need to walk about a day in order to reach Vermillion City. Since it would take that large amount of time, he decided to walk by villages along the way as they might be able to tell him the status of the eastern continent. In under two hours, Adrian was able to arrive to a sizeable town, but he could feel that it was almost a ghost town.
"Pay the toll." The guard stated.
"How much is it, good sir?" Adrian asked as he did not know the price.
"Two silvers." The guard stated without a hint of deceit.
"Here." Adrian stated as he gave three silver coins.
"You gave too much." The guard stated.
"The extra silver is for information. I wish to know why this is the state of the town. The town seems to almost resemble a ghost town." Adrian asked.
"It became like this when the Red Sun Cult was able to revive the goddess that they serve. All of the towns and cities under the Four Divine Beasts are in full alert. You must be from the mountain village or a coast village which is why the news has yet to reach you." The guard stated.
"I see. That might also be the reason why I did not encounter merchants." Adrian replied to make it his background believable.
