The Story Never Ends -
Chapter 192 - The Mysterious Woman
The person looked slim, was wearing black robes, and had a veil covering the face. The outer characteristics definitely resembled a woman. When he peeped through her with his Mind-Eye, he only saw a fuzzy red-colored aura enveloping her body. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see past her.
"Don't tell me she is an expert above the Domain Realm?" Davion panicked and had beads of sweat on his forehead. But that uncomfortable feeling disappeared in a couple of seconds. Even without his Heavenly Body, he was good to go.
"Did she withdraw herself?" He pondered. Nonetheless, seeing her acting coolly as if nothing happened put him in a tight spot. Moreover, her hidden face also added a layer of mysteriousness. After all, facial expression gives away many details.
"What is her motive? Is this a test?" He guessed as he knew that it was not a mistake on her part.. A powerful individual like her certainly knew what would happen if she even leaked a small part of her bloodline aura.
Despite all this, Davion didn't go back. He innocently went through the books on the shelves and chose a few of them. He then sat on a nearby desk that was some distance away from her and opened one of them.
Time slowly passed by,
Although Davion had his sights focused on the book, his mind was not there. He was in deep thought.
"This woman still bothers me. Why does an expert like her linger in such a rundown library? Did she pull the same trick with these baboons?" He glanced at them in curiosity.
"Humm, they seem quite relaxed. Did they not experience it?" Since they were just in the Nascent Soul Stage, it would have been impossible for them to hold on. Either this woman didn't bother them, or they were simply behaving ignorantly like him.
"Young Master, is there something you like to know?" One of the men asked politely with a smile on his face when he saw him gazing at them. It was rare to see demons who were interested in books. Especially a charismatic young man ahead of him.
"Indeed. Did you feel anything strange after entering here? Like your blood boiling and going out of control." Davion asked in a low voice even though he was sure that woman could hear it.
"No." They glanced at each other and shook their heads.
"Is that so? Maybe I am feeling sick." Davion decided to let go of this matter.
"Do you need help? Feel free to ask us." They patted their chests.
Davion was amazed as he couldn't believe that there could be kind-hearted people like them in the Demon Beast World.
"Yes, I do. I can't understand this part of the book." Like the library, the books here were also not in a good condition. There were pages missing, the text had become unrecognizable due to the passage of time, and many more.
"Haha, is this it? You can leave it to us." They became happy when they heard it.
In this way, Davion became friends with them and managed to learn more about them. Firstly, he introduced himself as Davion, the Second Young Master of the Vermillion Bird Tribe.
This was a name he heard frequently from the novels in his past life. Since he caused trouble at the pill shop due to some random name, he decided to go with a name that should not exist in this world. After all, he hadn't seen it in the map obtained from Anders.
However, their reactions completely threw him off-guard.
"What? Are you really from the Vermillion Bird Tribe that resides in the Legendary Phoenix Island?"
"I thought that it was a myth because nobody can go to that place nor catch a glimpse of it."
"Furthermore, not a single person has descended from that place to our lands."
They looked at him with their mouths wide open.
"Damn, I messed up once again." Davion cursed in his heart.
"Nonetheless, it might be a good opportunity for me to bullshit." While he was thinking, he felt the temperature of the room plummeting at a rapid rate.
"This.." His body reacted in an instant by releasing powerful heat waves.
The room returned to normal and only did he withdraw it.
"Wew, thanks for your help, Young Master." The baboons sighed in relief. They nearly froze in place.
"No problem. But who could it be?" He pondered while glancing at the woman. She seemed to be the biggest suspect here.
"Haiz, she is still motionless and doesn't seem to be bothered by all this." He shook his head.
"Young Master, let's not bother about this. Maybe an expert passed outside." One of the baboons suggested.
"I hope so." Davion went along with him.
"Young Master, you really surprised us. You possessing such strong flames makes us believe that you are a real deal; a visitor from the Phoenix Island."
They trusted him wholeheartedly while praising him.
"So, why don't you tell us more about that place?" They were interested.
"Ahem." Davion cleared his throat and started babbling nonsense.
"It's not as good as you think. But it's quite peaceful with no battles and chaos like here. The people cultivate in tranquility and are in seclusion most of the time. The same goes for me."
"Thus, I sneakily left the place to escape the boredom. Not only that, I want to make a name for myself here and prove my talents to the rest of the world. Especially to the Phoenix Clan."
"Wow! Young Master, who could have thought that you would have such an abominable will. We believe you endured a lot your way here." The baboons now saw him in a different light. He was a great character.
Davion nodded and showed a pitiful expression. Although he lied about almost everything, he in fact suffered a bit when coming here.
Seeing him acting this way, one of the baboons who seemed younger decided to light up the mood.
"Hehe! Why the Phoenix Clan, young master? Trying to marry the little princess of the Phoenix Clan with your achievements."
"Did I get caught?" Davion laughed awkwardly.
"Haha" They all laughed, but they suddenly came to a halt as the surrounding temperature dropped once again. This time dangerous coercion far greater than earlier was felt. However, it only lasted for a couple of seconds.
"Fuck"
"What does she want? Is she warning us? We didn't even do anything." Davion was furious inside. Nevertheless, he showed no emotion outside and said, "Now, why don't you both address yourselves. It's your turn."
"Oh! How can we forget that?" They embarrassingly looked at each other and started the conversation. As for the coercion earlier, they thought another expert had passed by.
Listening to them, he learned that the younger one was named Brycen while the bigger one was Brodie. They were siblings from the Baboon Tribe that were affiliated with the Six-Armed Ape Tribe.
This Six-Armed Ape Tribe didn't lose out to the Golden Lion Tribe in both influence and strength. They established themselves in the easternmost part of this World in the territory of the Black Tortoise Clan.
"Can you tell me more about the Black Tortoise Clan?" From Anders' map, he knew that this Clan had territories almost as equal to the Dragon Clan. So, they should be one of the powerhouses here.
"Since you are not from here, it's not unusual for you to ask this. But you would certainly offend the other person with this question. All the people living here know about the Black Tortoise Clan." Brodie reminded him and continued.
"The Phoenix Clan, The Black Tortoise Clan, The White Tiger Clan, and The Dragon Clan are the ones who rule this world. This is due to their superior bloodline and owning Saint Realm Experts."
"Oh! Only these clans have Saint Realm Experts?" This was why Davion was being friendly to them. It was to collect information.
"Yes." Brycen interjected and said, "The Black Tortoise Clan is similar to your Phoenix Clan on the outside. There are no battles and the territories seem to be in peace."
"But they are involved in trade and business. The Sky Heavens Restaurant you see in this city is the main showcase of their strength as this is only a branch restaurant. They have established similar branches all over the world."
"Humm, now I know why they were friendly to me." Davion finally realized why these baboons had good personalities.
As a tribe affiliated to the territory of the Black Tortoise Clan, they must love peace and should be here for trades too. Besides, it was common knowledge for people involved in trades to always increase their influence by making friends all over the place.
He asked them this question, and they replied just as he had guessed. They were bringing materials from their tribe to the Sky Heavens Restaurant. The other surprising thing was that these restaurants were not so simple. They sold goods and materials used in making treasures, pills, artifacts, and many more.
