Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord Chapter 359 – Chapter 359: The Collapsed Ruins

Chapter 359: The Collapsed Ruins

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Tristana had no interest in the Lords and their junk. She left Xu Yuan, Su Wan, and the other Lords in the main hall and went to her room. She wanted to find Claude to study the Victory Gem in detail.

The Lords watched as Tristana left and then turned to Su Wan, who was sitting at the head of the long table.

The Lords were confused. Lavender Manor wasn't an ordinary manor. The guards were all Level 50 soldiers. There were even some heroes who were at Level 59.

They were even more puzzled when the noblewoman left. They wondered if this Overlord and her handsome hero owned the manor.

The servants and the maids stood in a corner in attention.

The Lords were baffled. They hadn't even been offered a seat at the table.

“My name is Mo Liqing. I'm here to sell some top-notch treasures. Are you in charge here?” The leader calmed himself and stepped forward.

…..

Su Wan watched him with interest. “Then, the rest of you must be named Mo Lishou, Mo Lihai, or Mo Lihong?”

The Lords nodded.

Su Wan couldn't help but laugh.

“To answer your question… Yes, I am in charge of this manor. Can you show me your treasures?”

Mo Lishou hesitated. Their “treasures” could fool others, but a Lord could easily open the attribute panel for the treasures and find out that they were all junk.

He cleared his throat. “We aren't different from each other. We're all Lords. It took us so much effort to find these treasures,” said the Lord. “We could give you a 10% discount for this.”

“Don't worry. If the treasures are decent, I will pay you well,” said Su Wan. They were indeed smart. “However, you'll need to give me every detail about the items and their origins. Just tell me what kind of creatures you met, where the items were originally located, etc.”

The ruins had already collapsed, so the Lords didn't think that would be a problem. It wasn't like Su Wan could go and check the ruins personally.

“No problem. As long as you pay us a decent price, all the information is yours.”

“Then, take them out and show me.”

The oldest Lord, Mo Lishou, opened the sack and placed the badly damaged treasures on the table. It was a pile of junk.

In front of the others, the Lords could pretend that these treasures were valuable. With another Lord, they didn't bother to pretend.

Xu Yuan perked up when he saw the withered branch at the bottom of the pile. He could sense the dark aura.

He was right. The aura was similar to that of the Dark Withered Tree. This branch seemed to be even more dark and evil than the tree.

He looked at Su Wan and nodded.

Su Wan pretended to be indifferent in front of the Lords. She picked up one or two weapons and pretended to examine them. Then, she lifted the withered branch from the bottom.

“This branch is stained with the aura of the undead. Where did you get it?” she asked.

“It's not “stained” with the aura. It's the branch's aura,” said Mo Lishou.

“What do you mean?”

“The origin of this branch is extraordinary. It's something we broke off from a withered tree.” Seeing that Su Wan was interested, Mo Lishou became a persuasive salesman. “That tree is different from ordinary trees. It grows from flesh and blood.”

Seeing Su Wan so lost for words, Mo Lishou chuckled. “This is the first time we've seen such a strange tree. Unfortunately, the tree had withered away before we found it. Only this branch was intact. If we'd found it a while before, we'd be rich by now.”

Xu Yuan was interested. 'Is it possible for that tree to replicate the Dark Withered Tree?'

“What's that tree called?” Su Wan asked.

“Dark Demonic Tree. According to the system's information, that thing was an evil tree that grew from corpses. It could also bear blood fruits. Unfortunately, we didn't find anything more,” said Mo Lishou.

“Where is it located?” asked Su Wan.

Mo Lishou opened the system map and shared the location with her.

“There was a mythical ruin in that place, but it collapsed a long time ago. We explored it for two months but didn't find anything good.” Mo Lishou sounded disappointed. It wasn't easy to find a mythical ruin. They had expected to find decent treasures but got nothing out of it.

Su Wan opened the map and looked closely. There were conspicuously marked points on it. It was about 500 kilometers from Canglan City and was in the desert.

Xu Yuan and Su Wan decided to check the place out to see what exactly was wrong with the Dark Demonic Tree. If the Dark Demonic Tree was considered so powerful, it shouldn't be withering away so easily.

[Withered Branch]

[Characteristic: Gives off a dark aura.]

[Note: A broken branch from a unique tree.]

The tree looked very ordinary. If the Lords hadn't opened its attribute panel to check, they would have passed by it without giving it a thought.

Su Wan activated the True Eye of the Demon Dragon to find out more about the tree. The withered branch of the Dark Demon Tree had a weak vitality. However, it could regain its vitality if it consumed mana.

'This branch is still alive?!' Su Wan was stunned.

If the branch was still alive after being separated from its tree, was the Dark Demonic Tree really dead?

Su Wan was intrigued. She didn't mind planting a Dark Demonic Tree in her territory.

Su Wan continued to inquire about the ruins.

Mo Lishou was still hopeful that Su Wan would buy their junk at a high price, so he told her everything about the ruins. There was nothing good inside anyway.. He had searched the whole place for two months!

Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you very much!
