——Having actually exchanged for the Natural Seed, no collateral is needed anymore.

"Thank you for your detailed explanation. You are indeed very considerate."

Fa Fuke said earnestly: "I will inform the sage of this matter and think about what to exchange for next..."

"If you want to know the effect of the Natural Seed, you can ask Linda."

Luo De nodded slightly and suggested: "I’ve already given her one."

"She’s already exchanged it?"

Fa Fuke was somewhat surprised, "Then I will consult her first... of course, I will first help you drain the energy from that knight’s body."

"Mm, thank you for your hard work," Luo De said with a smile.

"It’s no trouble, as you have already paid the labor points."

Fa Fuke stood up, bowed deeply, and then stepped back.

After he left, Vivian took the initiative to approach and sighed, "The attitude with and without labor points is really different."

"Of course, no one would work for you for free."

Luo De chuckled and said, "People are not puppets to be manipulated at will."

"As for me."

Vivian crossed her arms over her chest, "I’ve always worked for you for free."

"Hmm?"

Luo De smacked Vivian on the buttocks and pulled her into his embrace, "What have I wanted that I haven’t given you?"

"Besides, most of the time it’s me making the effort, and you hardly exert any force."

"That’s also true."

Vivian nodded earnestly, then changed the topic and reported: "Sister has also investigated some information about Divine Artifacts, and Lusen basically got it right." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"However, the Wheel of Light Erosion isn’t missing; it was destroyed, so we don’t need to worry."

"That’s indeed good news."

Luo De was really worried that the Church might suddenly produce some kind of Divine Artifact, something even the transformation into a dragon couldn’t counter.

"However, such Divine Artifacts are quite something."

Luo De held Vivian by her slender waist with one hand and picked up the Core of Light, "For instance, this is an energy core. Based on it, one might create something different."

"Have your sister check the information to see if there’s any news about temple ruins," Luo De casually suggested.

"Mm, sure."

Vivian nodded and then said, "However, I feel that the people from the Dawn Society might know more about this kind of thing?"

"All aspects need to be investigated."

Luo De pondered with a touch of thought, suddenly recalling the Sea Abyss Wizard Tower ruins.

Now, his spiritual power is over twenty-five points, perhaps with the Spirit Amplifier, he might be able to unlock the next level?

It’s better to handle the Empire’s matters first.

Luo De thought to himself, then looked at Vivian, "Let your sister set off for us here. In the future, I’ll need her help in dealing with many matters."

...

...

At the border of the Broken Rock Empire and the Western Alliance.

Wind Song Hills.

The mountains undulate here, and the wild wind howls like a kind of mournful song.

In the spacious hall of the underground ruins, runes emit a faint glow.

The dome of the hall is as high as ten meters, surrounded by a forest of stone pillars.

In the center of the hall stands an altar built of black stone, covered with complex runes painted in fresh blood.

The runes are layered and intertwined, as complex as a spider’s web.

Around the altar stand thirteen stone pillars, each holding a sturdy man suspended by chains.

Their faces are pale as paper, eyes vacant, arms bound above their heads, bodies hanging in the air, with slashed ankles dripping blood continuously into the grooves of the altar.

In front of the altar is a giant humanoid statue like a skeleton, holding a huge bone magic staff.

But this statue is incomplete, with only half of the head remaining, as if it had been cleaved off by something.

Only one eye socket remains, inlaid with a dark red gemstone that glimmers with an eerie light.

A stone coffin is placed on top of the altar.

At this moment, Prince Jin Chui is lying inside it, with Lomisa standing beside.

"Can I really obtain the power to slay dragons?"

Prince Jin Chui questioned hoarsely.

Prince Jin Chui had been lying in this coffin for three days.

For three days, he felt his life force ebbing away, with occasional wails sounding in his ears, driving him insane.

If it weren’t for the pursuit of power, he would have given up long ago.

"Of course, I swear to my master, you shall gain great power."

Lomisa held the edge of the coffin and said incredibly seriously: "You will inherit my master’s power and have control over tens of thousands of undead."

"This time, you shall surely be king."
