Chapter 1258: There is Nothing Else
The Sacred Land Master was delighted to see the Diamond Golem wake up. However, the golem seemed very angry, so he immediately moved to calm it down. "Wait, wait, wait, Senior Donkauhk. No one's attacking our Sacred Land. Please calm yourself."
The Diamond Golem looked at the Sacred Land Master and narrowed his eyes, saying, "I felt a huge danger against my life just a moment ago. How come nothing's happening, Kristio?"
Naturally, Kristio was the name of the Sacred Land's Master.
"Oh! You felt in danger because of me. Hello there!" Kentucky said on the other side.
Etherian and couldn't help but let out a bit of sweat. Not that he was afraid of Donkauhk, but that Donkauhk might take it personally after Kentucky put it so bluntly.
"Hmm?" Donkauhk looked back and saw the black and white Demon Bird. Only then did he notice the Divine Blood in Kentucky's body. "You are... a Minokawa? No, you're quite different from one. There are no feather blades on your body."
Surprisingly, he seemed to forget why he woke up after hearing Kentucky.
Kentucky then poured Divine Energy into his feathers, changing them into blades. "I can control when they're like blades and when they're just normal feathers."
"This..." Donkauhk didn't know what to say. "I didn't know Minokawas could do that. But then again, I've only seen one in my life. Perhaps he can do that as well."
Donkauhk then thought about what Kentucky said. "I see... if you're a Minokawa, then it makes sense why I felt I was in danger. Your beak has a special ability that allows it to break through any raw metal. My body just happens to be full of it even though someone of your level shouldn't be able to chomp it. That's the greatest proof that you're a Minokawa."
Kentucky was surprised to hear that. "Really? Does that mean senior knows where I can find more Minokawas? Oh, right! Sorry for waking you up. Making you feel the danger of being eaten was the only way I could think about that could wake you up."
Donkauhk then looked at Kristio and asked once more, "There really are no enemies?"
Kristio nodded. "There aren't, Senior Donkauhk." Kristio then continued, "We allowed him to try to wake you up because we had some things to discuss."
Donkauhk finally relaxed, knowing that everything was okay. "You brats really gave me a fright." He then sat down, making the whole place tremble with his weight. "You do know that I keep myself hibernating because I want to extend my lifespan as much as possible, right? I'm too old already and have no chance of breaking through anymore. Every minute I stay awake is another minute lost."
Kristio nodded in response. "We know, senior. We won't bother you anytime soon after we are finished."
Kentucky then cut them off. "Hey, I was the one to wake him up. I have the right to talk first!"
Kristio narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Minokawa. He was the Sacred Land Master, you know? How many people or beasts would intervene in his conversation?
However, Donkauhk didn't seem to care that much. "Go ahead, little one. It has been a very long time since I saw another Divine Demon Beast, so I'll let you talk first."
Kentucky wasn't by any means small. Still, in front of the Diamond Golem, he truly looked like nothing. "Great! I want to know if you know where I can find other Minokawas. The egg I was in was found within a group of bandit spoils, so even my friends have no idea how I ended up being separated from other Minokawas."
Donkauhk nodded after hearing that. "That's quite a sad thing. It's just that we golems don't have parents, so I can't really understand how you felt. Anyway, as I mentioned before, I've only seen a single Minokawa in my life, and that was around... errr..." Donkauhk then looked at Kristio and asked, "How long have I been sleeping this time?"
Kristio immediately replied, "This slumber lasted 3329 years, Senior Donkauhk."
Donkauhk then continued, "Good. Then the last time I saw a Minokawa was around 6000 years ago, more or less. I didn't really count the days. Unfortunately, that's about it. I didn't ask that Minokawa from where he came from or where he was going. Is there anything else you would wish to ask?"
Kentucky looked at Roan, trying to see if Roan wanted something else. Roan then pondered over something for a bit before saying, "Can you at least tell us where you found that Minokawa? We might be able to find some clue in that place."
Donkauhk didn't mind. "Just so you know, that Minokawa was much stronger than me. It simply passed by, but we never talked. With that said, I don't know if its business was in the place I saw it or not. I was in Hiwer Continent at that time. Now that I think about it, Hiwer is quite close to Jhiod. Considering that Jhiod seems to be allied with some big power, the Minokawa might have had some dealings there."
Roan was surprised to hear that. After all, Jhiod was the destination they had in mind. "Thank you."
Donkauhk asked once more. "Anything else? Otherwise, I will have to ask you to leave since little Kristio here seems to want to talk."
Kristio's mouth twitched after hearing that. Sure, he wasn't nearly as old as Donkauhk, but he wasn't a kid either. But then again, he didn't complain as Donkauhk wasn't saying that on purpose. It was just how he treated almost everyone.
Roan then contacted Rean through their Soul Connection and explained the situation. 'So, do you have anything you want to ask other than what I did?'
Rean stopped forging for a moment and pondered about it. 'Hmm... how about you ask him if he could give me a small part of his body? Since Kentucky found it delicious, his Diamond Golem body is definitely an amazing forging material.'
Roan completely ignored Rean's question before looking back at Donkauhk, saying, "There is nothing else, thank you."
