Chapter 45: Bloody Mandrake



As the sky was just starting to brighten, Su Nan left the tavern with Amy.

Amy’s owner, the mysterious wizard, lived in the Spiky Stone Valley east of Stone Bell City.

After traveling more than ten kilometers out of the city, there was a pine forest. Following the dense trees eastward, they crossed two mountain peaks and entered the Spiky Stone Valley.

The deeper they went into the valley, the more desolate the environment became, and the terrain grew increasingly rugged.

There was almost no vegetation on the surface, only jagged spiky stones everywhere. Withered grass and thorns grew from the cracks in the rock walls, making a creaking sound as the mountain breeze blew past.

Su Nan wondered why the wizard would choose such a desolate place to live.

But then he thought about the fact that this was a thousand years ago. Maybe the Spiky Stone Valley wasn’t like this a thousand years ago.

Amy lay quietly on Su Nan’s shoulder, licking her paw listlessly.

Finally, after the sun rose from behind the distant mountains, they reached a river beach.

“Meow, follow the river, and you’ll get there,” Amy pointed ahead.

Su Nan didn’t move immediately but ordered the Hidden Dragon nearby to scout ahead.

This place had long been known to the Starfire Sect. If they wanted to capture them, they would most likely send someone here to lie in wait. It was better to be safe than sorry.

However, after a round of searching, no one was found hiding nearby.

“Looks like those guys haven’t recovered from last night’s fight yet.”

Su Nan relaxed, confidently heading towards the river upstream.

Following Amy’s directions, he quickly found a cave in the middle of a rock wall.

With the addition of wind element energy particles, Su Nan easily climbed the rock wall and entered the cave.

The cave was pitch black, but the passage was very smooth and spacious, showing signs of artificial construction everywhere.

Su Nan casually took out a night pearl as a light source and stepped inside.

At the end of the passage was a spacious ring-shaped hall. The floor was paved with square granite tiles, engraved with dense, strange patterns, like some kind of large magic array.

However, many of the patterns had faded and blurred, and the magic array was no longer able to activate.

There were more than ten doorways on the surrounding walls.

“That door behind is the apprentice living area, the wizard apprentices usually rest there.”

“That leads to the plantation. There used to be many strange magic plants in it, and many little sprites, but they’re all gone now.”

“That’s the warehouse, and that’s the magic experiment square…”

Amy introduced each door and what it led to to Su Nan, as if she were very familiar with the place.

The entire building was unusually large, with passages leading in all directions and countless rooms. It could be considered a castle built inside the mountain.

Judging from the residual marks resembling crystal marks on the walls, this should have been a building similar to a wizard tower.

However, it was now dilapidated and decaying.

Su Nan was originally thinking about whether he could find a bargain here, but he found nothing on his way.

The Starfire Sect’s operational capabilities were higher than he expected. They had directly emptied the place, not leaving a single valuable thing behind.

“It’s a pity that this place is too remote and the surrounding environment is too desolate. Otherwise, I could have built a laboratory and magic plant garden here.”

Su Nan thought regretfully.

Since he couldn’t find anything valuable, he didn’t stay any longer and turned to leave with Amy.

As he walked out of the cave, Su Nan suddenly remembered something and asked Amy, “The Starfire Sect said you’ve been wandering around the north of the city. Why?”

Amy was stunned for a moment, then cried out, “Meow, I almost forgot, there’s something I haven’t gotten back!”

Su Nan was surprised, “What is it?”

“It’s the Bloody Mandrake. Those bad guys took this magic plant, and I don’t know why they left it in a big house. I wanted to get it back, but there was a very powerful evil spirit guarding it. I couldn’t beat it!”

Bloody Mandrake!

Su Nan was startled.

As he remembered, it was a very evil magic plant that fed on human blood. Every time it matured, its roots would turn red, until they became as red as blood.

Once it fully matured, the Bloody Mandrake would release hidden mental waves, creating illusions to lure nearby creatures and devour their souls.

After devouring enough souls, a terrifying evil spirit would be born within the Bloody Mandrake, starting to kill nearby humans and devour their souls to strengthen itself.

It was precisely because of this characteristic that places where Bloody Mandrake was cultivated were generally set up with corresponding restrictive magic arrays.

Otherwise, it would ultimately lead to an evil spirit disaster.

Thinking back to the ghost stories he heard at the tavern, Su Nan suddenly understood.

The big house Amy was referring to was most likely Baron Cubero’s manor.

“It seems that the Starfire Sect planned to put the Bloody Mandrake in that manor. But what was their purpose in doing so?”

After a moment’s thought, Su Nan quickly figured out the connection.

Stone Bell City was the center of the Silver Moon Territory, and the Viscount of Silver Moon happened to be one of the nobles who was at odds with the Marquis of Golden Rock.

If an evil spirit appeared in his own territory, the Viscount of Silver Moon would have to find a way to deal with it. Otherwise, if they left it alone, the evil spirit’s harm would soon escalate, eventually threatening the entire Stone Bell City.

However, relying solely on the power of knights to eliminate an evil spirit, it was unknown how many lives would have to be sacrificed.

Even if they finally succeeded in removing the evil spirit, the Silver Moon Territory would surely be severely damaged.

At that time, the Marquis of Golden Rock and the Starfire Sect could take advantage of the situation.

This evil spirit incident was most likely another part of the Marquis of Golden Rock’s plot to control the Golden Rock Province!

“This guy really can’t stop bothering people.”

Su Nan muttered to himself, then his mind became active again.

Although the Bloody Mandrake was very harmful, it was also a very rare magic plant with many uses.

For example, in Angus McLain’s diary, he saw a formula for an evil illusion potion that could increase spiritual power. The main ingredient was the sap of the Bloody Mandrake.

The Bloody Mandrake that Angus McLain had been looking for for decades was found in this situation. It was ironic, to say the least.

“Among the materials for making the evil illusion potion, the Bloody Mandrake is the rarest. The other materials can be completely obtained through magic cube synthesis. As long as I get this Bloody Mandrake, I can produce evil illusion potions continuously.”

Su Nan was suddenly excited, but he quickly calmed down.

“Evil spirits are not easy to deal with. It’s best to prepare some more trump cards before going.”

Su Nan thought of the two half-damaged magic items he had just obtained last night.

If he could repair those two magic items, it would undoubtedly be easier to deal with the evil spirit.

Besides, he couldn’t just help the Silver Moon Territory solve the problem for nothing. He should get the reward he deserved.
