The fragrance emanating from these plants made Brenna feel like she had stepped into the forest of the Elf Tribe.
In this world, plants are not simply plants.
The birth of plants combined with mana has produced new subspecies of plants that are far different from regular plants. This magical plant branched out into countless more varieties.
There are plants that can detoxify, there are plants that can heal, there are plants that can be used to absorb strength, there are plants that can be used to make poison,... compared to energy gems, it's really have diverse and vast classifications, levels of use and uses beyond imagination.
Brenna once read in an ancient book that, in ancient times, there existed an apple tree that was older than time itself. The first being to ever exist ate the first apple, thereby becoming the first God of time.
Of course, the veracity of this story will forever be a mystery. But it cannot be denied that plants are an important link in the entire ecosystem.
This place has existed for so long, plants grow in piles, all pure and abundant with energy. Brenna guessed that aside from the time factor, the power drawn from those unfortunate enough to die down here had turned into nutrients.
Brenna calculated again, if she could get all of these plants, compensating for losses and taking a little profit would still be nothing. She will even be ten times richer than before, even more.
However, Noir's note inside the card did not mention this pile of plants. It's another object, the one that's being placed in the center.
It was a sword stuck in the rock.
What Brenna needs to do is let this sword cut into her soul.
Having reached this step, Brenna began to hesitate again.
She hesitated, because allowing her soul to be attacked was a very dangerous thing to do. Just a little mistake can cause irreversible injuries, and even death is a possibility.
But thinking that everything Noir had predicted so far had been correct, she made up her mind.
Besides, without purifying the curse from her soul, Brenna cannot become a God.
"I have to take a risk..."
Brenna muttered. Slowly walk towards the sword.
…
At the same time, in Jelro city.
A group of people dressed in armor, lined up neatly and led by a middle-aged man with a harsh face. Mana waves appeared around these people, proving that all of them were not normal people.
They are the guards of Jelro city, a force under the command of the mayor of Jelro. It can be said that these people are like police, shouldering the responsibility of preserving and protecting the security of the city.
However, today they were gathered here with a completely different mission.
"Listen here, don't say anything, don't do anything until I give the order. No matter what happens, God's orders always come first, understand?"
"Sir yes sir!"
"Even if God tells us to commit suicide, we must do it without hesitation. Understand?"
"Sir yes sir!"
Looking at the serious and tense faces of the guards under his command, the captain sighed inwardly. Even though he yelled at the people under him like that, he himself was no different from them.
After confirming that nothing was left behind, the guards headed towards Noir's shop. Everyone was silent in suspense, not daring to make any comments.
Even though everyone was scared, everyone was nervous. Because this was the first time they had seen a true God level being.
For the people living in this remote place, even Demigod has never been seen by them. As for God, this is more of a myth.
The guards stopped in front of the store, he knelt down on one knee, bowed his head low and spoke.
"Sir, I am the captain of the Jelro city guard, Antony. Please allow us to see you."
"Everyone, please feel free."
Heard voices coming from inside the store. Antony gently signaled to the people behind, then they all walked in one by one.
When Antony stepped inside, he saw Noir sitting on a chair and smiled at him. On his opposite side, a total of 11 chairs appeared with one in a position facing Noir, and the remaining ten chairs arranged behind him.
This number, combined with this intentional arrangement, coincidentally coincided with Antony's guard today. With him came the captain and ten guards under him.
"Take a seat."
"Thank you, sir."
Antony seriously sat in the position opposite Noir, the ten people behind him took turns sitting in their respective seats.
Antony breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at this situation, it seemed that this God-level person was not a difficult person to connect with. Since they entered here, Antony has never seen contempt or anything like that from Noir.
"Sir, I thank you for your presence on behalf of all the people of Jelro City."
"Our mayor wanted to personally come here to thank you. But he is currently busy fixing the damage caused by that Demigod. Please forgive me."
"And this is a little bit of our sincerity. Please accept it."
Antony presented a glass box. Through the glass, Noir could see a delicately displayed fruit.
Even though it was a fruit, Noir didn't know what kind of fruit it was. He only saw that its shell was extremely shiny, as if coated with a layer of glass. It looks incredibly magical.
Noir reached out to receive the glass box, and the system immediately displayed the results of the item's appraisal.
"13000 Accumulation..."
The value of this thing is almost equal to Brenna's gem. Moreover, it was given to him for free.
"Let me say thank you to the mayor."
"It's just a small gift, sir. Without you, the whole city is afraid it will be destroyed."
Antony said respectfully.
Even though this captain didn't feel any pressure from Noir, it was as if he was just a normal person. But his intuition told him that he absolutely could not disrespect this young man.
Noir didn't pay attention to so many details, he only knew that he had another free amount added to his account.
