"If you insist." Adrian stated as he was not one to fool around when it comes to treasure that he might need.
"If you wish to give us something then it would be very discourteous of us to not accept. This is the way of the eastern continent after all." Levin Cloud added.
"These two really are best friends because they can be very shameless at the same time." Peridot muttered.
"That just means that they understand each other." Frey added which made both of them giggle.
"Thank you for not refusing us. It would be wonderful if you also have something in mind that you might like. If we have it in our treasury then we would be very gracious to give it to you." Ina stated as she could be seen to have become stronger as some of the karma seems to have empowered her.
"I am looking for a plant that should be very native to the eastern continent. All of you call it the Immortal Peach Tree. It should be commonly known as the plant that creates immortals due to eating its fruit.
I do not expect you to have it in your garden or such. I would like to know if you have any related literature or even a small part of it. It would really make me very happy if you are able to give me that." Levin Cloud stated.
Ina and her husband Hajime looked at each other as the one that asked them was the Guardian of Forests. If they were to give any details of the Immortal Peach Tree, then they might also be graced by its fruits should Levin Cloud be able to make it grow. Ina and Hajime have no item related to the world tree, but they actually know someone that might.
"I am incredibly sorry that we do not have any news or journals regarding the Immortal Peach Tree. It is quite a taboo topic in the eastern continent as the immortals are very picky in deciding on who would join their ranks. Any news about the Immortal Peach Tree have been confiscated by them and the imperial family also allows it as that lets the business of immortals not interfere with how the country is ran." Ina stated.

This someone is also a bit special like you because this being was once a house god of our land. Her name is Rotasu Hana, and she would be something called a flower spirit as she was a lotus demon that gained intelligence." Saito Hajime stated.
"Please have this small lotus flower that she left. She said that we can contact her using this flower if we go to the Lotus Pond that is located a bit far south from our land." Ina stated as she gave the lotus flower to Levin Cloud.
"Thank you so much. This would be very helpful for me." Levin Cloud stated as he bowed.
"For me, I do not need anything but if you have a spiritual crystal of any kind that you can give then I will happily accept." Peridot stated.
"If the Ryujin princess wishes for that then we shall grant it. Please have a set that I have crafted personally as this is the main source of income for me. These are a set of elemental spiritual crystals that are more powerful than ordinary elemental stones." Ina stated as she told a servant to fetch a box.
Ina opened the box and inside of it were six crystals. Each of the crystals had a powerful aura to it that is tied with an element. It is different from elemental stones that Peridot casually uses as this one has ten times more mana.
"These are perfectly made! You are a skilled craftsman but is also very lucky. It is not easy amplifying the elemental energy inside of a spiritual crystal." Peridot stated as she needed these six crystals to make his weapon increase in rank.
"Actually, my wish is more related to a sister of mine. As you can see, I am a Valkyrie, and it also happens that this is the Land of Yamato. I wish for my sister to have her ban lifted so that she could return to her hometown." Frey stated as she did not need anything material.
"Is this Valkyrie named Kuina?" Ina and Hajime asked.
"That is correct! If I am not mistaken, then that ban happened two hundred years ago. She was banned by the owner of the land itself which means that the land rejects her. I wish for her to be able to return to at least see her hometown." Frey replied.
"If she was banned two hundred years ago then I can lift the ban, but she must also be restricted to a degree. The destruction that she caused back then was due to an unfortunate incident but the family that was affected has already forgiven her offense. Please give her the news that she is welcomed back but tell her to please control herself." Shirohe stated as she was already the house god of the family back when that incident happened.
"Thank you very much!" Frey stated as she graciously bowed.
"Such wonderful and selfless wish… I wish I could do the same, but I have a lot of things that I need which is why I must activate my shameless mode." Adrian whispered.
"How about you, Nether? We will fulfill your request even if it is the most difficult. The events that unfolded would not have happened if not for you." Ina stated.
"In that case, I will need a Lodestone Heart. Do you happen to have that?" Adrian asked which shocked Ina and Hajime.
"Seeing your shocked faces. You must not have it." Adrian added.
"It is not that we do not have it, but it is being restricted by the Azure Dragon of the East himself. Our family actually owns one such item, but it is also a powerful lightning conduit that it is impossible to use by even immortals. The item is also extremely coveted which is why we have entrusted its protection to the Azure Dragon of the East. We might need some time in order to recover it." Ina stated.
"We can actually have Nether visit the Azure East Capital. We can just directly give it to him there as those that covet it will not be able to steal it from him if he teleports away immediately." Kondo stated as he joined the conversation.
"I actually did not expect that they have it." Adrian thought as he was actually not that serious when he asked them.
"Can you return to us after a week? The discussions in giving that item to you would be finished by then." Ina stated firmly as they are willing to give such a priceless treasure to Adrian.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I am not forcing you to give it. I just asked halfheartedly. I actually did not need a reward as I was just doing my duty." Adrian stated.
"He says that but there is this smirk on his face that he cannot hide." Levin Cloud whispered to Peridot and Frey as the two nodded and giggled.
"We insist. We shall give it to you without any problems." Ina and Hajime stated firmly which only made Adrian back down since he could no longer reject their offer when they are hellbent on giving it to him.
"We actually need to go. There are other people that have arrived, and it seems that one of them has the same aura as the being that attacked me before." Peridot stated as she felt numerous beings come to the Land of Yamato.
"They must be guests that you need to also greet. We have taken too much of your time already and I know those that are visiting have different motives. All of you will enter a new battlefield of wits compared to an actual battle that happened earlier." Levin Cloud stated.
"Thank you for the gifts." Adrian stated as he was about to open a portal.
"Nether! You promised that we would visit places together!" Yumeko stated as she clung on Adrian's cloak.
"My little princess… that is a bit much for now. I am sure that Nether is very busy which is why he cannot accompany you now." Hajime stated.
"But Father!" Yumeko stated as she started to get teary eyed.
"No worries as my promise still stands. Your body has yet to fully recover which is why I cannot take you with me to those places yet. How about this… I will return in an earlier date so that we can go visit places?" Adrian stated.
"Really?!" Yumeko stated as she wiped the tears on her eyes.
"I promise. You must become very strong so that we can go around the world if you even want to." Adrian stated.
