490 Chapter 367: Windsor, “What Did You Say? Lord Richard is Qingqiu?” [1/2]
Richard pondered momentarily, then asked the question he was most concerned about.
“Where is that area?”
Mo Lishou did not hide anything from him. He opened the system map and shared the location with him.
It was an ancient ruin, but it collapsed a long time ago.
“We’ve been searching inside for two months but found nothing good.”
When Richard said this, he couldn’t help but feel a little regretful.
It was disappointing to find a good place without any treasures.
Richard opened the map, and there was a mark on it.
It was about 500 kilometers from Solan City, located in the desert.
He decided to explore that rotten tree before returning to Twilight City…
‘Its aura was even eviler than the god’s ancient tree, so it shouldn’t wither so quickly, right?’
He looked at the attributes of the dried branch while he pondered.
[Dried Branch]
[Attribute: Carries an evil aura. ]
[Description: A broken-off branch from a tree. ]
There was nothing different about the tree. If these players had not seen the rotten tree, These players would have ignored this if they had not seen the rotten tree.
Richard didn’t give up after he closed the system panel. He opened the Black Gold System instead.
A more detailed prompt appeared on it as expected.
The withered branches of the rotten tree contain a faint vitality. You can use 100 divinity points to reactivate that vitality.
“This branch is still alive?”
Richard was overjoyed.
Although it was the same as the seed of the world tree, which required 100 divine points to activate, that was not the point.
More importantly, even the dried branches were still alive. Was the rotten tree really dead?
He was interested.
He didn’t mind digging another god’s ancient tree on his return to Twilight City.
Richard set aside his thoughts and continued to ask about the ruins.
Mo Lishou still insisted Richard buy his goods at a high price. He didn’t hesitate to tell him everything he knew.
On the other hand, they had searched for two months, and there was nothing good left.
Richard asked in detail.
He understood everything.
Finally, he had a general idea of the ruins… The rotten tree was only an unremarkable corner of the ruins.
Sand buried most of the ruins after its collapse.
The only danger was in the center of the ruins. A group of terrifying monsters protected it–the cemetery guards.
All were level 15 and above and had even seen a level 19 field hero.
However, there were no treasures in there. They had used special means to explore it more than once.
Richard didn’t beat around the bush after the conversation.
He used the price offered by the appraiser of the Solan Chamber of Commerce, which was 5% higher, to buy ten glorious weapons that were not so damaged.
He had spent a total of one million units of resources, and he kept his word. It was his bottom line. He got the information he wanted and didn’t mind giving it back.
The value of this information to him was far beyond what these resources could compare to.
Richard felt nothing when he paid for the interface’s hundred million resources.
The players were also very excited.
One million units were ultimately a considerable sum to them.
Those players who lost territories had much fewer ways to earn resources.
They could no longer be like an ordinary lord and let the residents in the territory mine.
The quick turnover of one person’s earning resources is incomparable to a territory with a few thousand residents.
Richard told the four players he was looking for a Soul Contract afterward. He asked them to help him find out more.
They immediately patted their chests when they heard about the 3-stars treasure reward.
After they left.
Richard stored the glorious items in the system inventory and kept the tree branch to study.
It was impossible to activate it with divinity, as the world tree seed had already taken up Renee’s output.
Renee had four points of divinity. She could only recover one every week. It was too precious.
Now, Richard could only hope that the withered and rotten tree also had a trace of vitality in its body.

The Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce.
Windsor looked at the curious girl in front of her in the living room and smiled.
“Didn’t Lord Richard go to the Solan Chamber of Commerce? Why are you still asking me?”
“Ah? When did he go? How come I didn’t know…”
Onyx stood at the side and said,
“Your Excellency, Lord Richard went to the Black Market this morning after he left our place. Our men met them at the entrance of the Solan Chamber of Commerce.”
Christy wore a pure white dress and shook her head.
“I didn’t go to the Black Market today.”
He asked curiously.
“Shouldn’t you be the one accompanying Lord Richard to Solan City?”
Onyx thought about the situation this morning and said with some emotion.
“It was Lady Rebecca who brought Lord Richard there.”
Christy frowned.
“Rebecca has returned, but why didn’t she come to see me… Also, were they that close? I’m just going to buy the rabbit fur of the fire dragon rabbit.”
Windsor slowly took a sip of the hot tea in her cup. A playful look engulfed her eyes when she elegantly put the teacup down.
“That Lord Richard is extraordinary.”
“I’m sure you don’t know, but Lady Rebecca decided to give him the Violet Manor.”
Christy asked in disbelief.
“That’s impossible, right? How could Rebecca possibly give the Violet Manor to a lord?
“No matter how extraordinary the other party is, he shouldn’t be like this, right?”
