The Death List Novel - Chapter 124

Chapter 124 World Tree Fruit
“Didn’t you ask me to save the life of this summoned creature?” Malfoy’s voice was slightly surprised.

“This summoner can only be used against ordinary people. If it encounters a powerful opponent, it might not be as useful as a tree vine seed!” Qin Lun couldn’t help but laugh bitterly when he recalled the few battles that the black bear had participated in.

The black bear itself was the temporary protection that the Albert family had prepared for Qin Lun. At that time, due to the lack of time, they could only find this wild beast to deal with emergencies. Its first appearance was torn apart by the witches’ trolls, its second appearance was directly split open by the Illusory Demon Labyrinth’s mechanical axe, and its third appearance became the experimental subject of the incomplete gene potion.

Apart from its huge size, the black bear was useless for its owner to temporarily block the enemy. Even in the Illusory Demon World, Qin Lun didn’t even think of summoning the black bear. This summoning object was completely dispensable.

“Refining bloodline items from summoned creatures is equivalent to refining a human body at the level of Laws. You really think highly of us!” Malfoy understood Qin Lun’s intentions and shook his head self-deprecatingly. “If the bloodline in this black bear’s body was wind and wood, then there was still a sliver of possibility. Unfortunately, the attribute it displayed was clearly the soul curse of the Dark Element.”

“Dark Element’s soul curse?” Qin Lun rubbed his chin. He suddenly realized that he had found the wrong person. Perhaps we should ask Sly Demon Berylseth. The Abyss Devils are Dark Elements, and they are also very good at soul-type spells.

Seeing Qin Lun’s expression, Malfoy knew what he was thinking. He gritted his teeth and continued, “Although we can’t extract the bloodline of the black bear, this black bear is very valuable for research. If you are willing to part with it, I can apply to the Council of Elders for a World Tree Fruit that is not ripe yet.”

“World Tree Fruit?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he licked his lips. The World Tree Dew he used was very good. This World Tree Fruit …

“The fruit of the World Tree is not for eating!” When Malfoy saw Qin Lun’s appearance, he laughed and said, “There are two ways for us Moonlight Fairies to be born. One is viviparity, and the other is the fruit of the World Tree …”

“In that case, the fruit of the World Tree that hasn’t matured yet … is an elven embryo?” Qin Lun’s expression was a little ugly. Malfoy didn’t want to give him an underage elven servant, did he? The elves’ strength was not bad, but it was not easy to find a smart little fellow like Didi.

“You can say that!” Malfoy rolled his eyes and briefly introduced the uses of the World Tree Fruit.

After an elf elder died, he would fuse the elf elder’s sperm core into the World Tree Fruit. After the fruit was successfully bred, the World Tree Elves that were born were new individuals. However, they would retain some of the elven elders’ inheritance. Combined with their talent, they were usually proud children of heaven.

This was also one of the reasons why the World Tree was so important to the elves. Having a World Tree was equivalent to preserving the inheritance and talent of countless elven elders. It was an important guarantee of the elves’ enduring prosperity.

The World Tree Fruit that Malfoy had proposed for Qin Lun was a green fruit that had not yet fused with a sperm core.

“The green fruit of the World Tree is the most important part of the elven bloodline. Under certain conditions, you will be able to obtain the bloodline of our Moonlight Fairy Clan!” Malfoy’s eyes flashed with cunning.

How could the research value of a Cursed Black Bear be comparable to the World Tree Fruit? It was just an excuse. Malfoy was 100% sure that the Council of Elders would agree to the deal. The greatest reason intelligent races used to rope in high-ranking apostles was because of their bloodline items.

The spiritual equipment used by the apostles was basically produced in the alternate space-time world. Apart from those high-ranking creatures, the intelligent races that shattered the starry sky rarely produced spiritual equipment themselves. Otherwise, Malfoy would not have taken the most violet-quality crossbow as a family heirloom.

However, bloodline items were different. Every intelligent race was essentially stronger than humans, so their bloodline was naturally superior to many apostles. Moreover, once the apostles possessed the bloodline of a certain intelligent race, they would be considered one of their own in terms of bloodline. They would even be able to marry, so their sense of identity would naturally greatly increase.

Ever since the election, the Moon Night Fairy Clan had been paying close attention to Qin Lun. Qin Lun’s several transactions at the auction house could not conceal the intentionally concerned management race. Although he wasn’t a high-ranking apostle, he had obtained several dark gold pieces in two missions. The quality and potential he displayed were enough to make the Moonlight Fairy increase its efforts to rope him in.

Most importantly, Qin Lun had already shown goodwill towards the elves in the electoral turmoil. The early investment of the Moonlight Elves in him had been rewarded to a certain extent, which was completely in line with the principle of equal exchange of the intelligent races towards the apostles.

“The Elf bloodline” Qin Lun frowned slightly after hearing Malfoy’s suggestion. He didn’t look overjoyed. He was as smart as he knew the pros and cons of getting the Elf bloodline. He didn’t want to be tied to any other intelligent race.

“Haha, don’t worry! Even if the Council of Elders agrees to this deal with you, it will attach some other conditions. It won’t violate the principle of equivalent exchange!” Malfoy said with a smile.

Hearing this, Qin Lun felt relieved. He understood what Malfoy meant. Since he followed the principle of equivalent exchange, then the so-called additional conditions would not be the binding of a person, but the shattering of crystals, equipment, and other tangible things. It was equivalent to a kind of loan on credit.

“What are the characteristics of your Moonlight Fairy bloodline compared to humans?” Qin Lun nodded and asked curiously again.

Malfoy smiled when he heard Qin Lun inquire about the Moonlight Fairy’s bloodline attributes. This meant that the young man had already approved of the deal in his heart. Speaking of which, this was also the sorrow of the native races of the Shattered Star System. Their numbers held the absolute advantage, and their bodies were stronger than most of the apostles. However, investing in a future apostle would depend on their expressions.

Of course, apostle powerhouses had a life-and-death adventure every other month, which was not something they could imagine. In fact, with the development of the Broken Star System to this day, the cooperation between the native intelligent races and the apostles had become very close, and various methods of seducing them had emerged one after another.

The bloodline trade was only one of them. If Qin Lun possessed the elven bloodline, he would not change his bloodline in the future. In that case, the Moonlight Fairy would probably take the next step of marriage alliance. In any case, the Fairy Race would not lack any beauties.

“Our Moonlight Elves belong to the good order camp. They have good affinity for wind elements, wood elements, and most plants and animals. They can change professions to mages, summoners, druids, archers, warriors, assassins, and most other combat professions.” Malfoy said reservedly, “The high-grade Moonlight Fairy will receive the blessing of the Moonlight Goddess. Under the moonlight bath, it will increase her combat strength and resilience!”

Qin Lun’s eyes lit up when he heard this. The Moonlight Elf’s affinity for wind elements could increase his newly acquired skills, his affinity for plants and animals, and his ability to recruit summoned creatures. This was indeed a bloodline ability that was very suitable for him.

“Then I’ll have to trouble you!” Qin Lun finally agreed to Malfoy’s suggestion. After canceling the summoning contract, he asked him to take the black bear away in a carriage.

The next morning, Malfoy sent a message to Qin Lun, indicating that the other Elves of the Horn of the Devil had agreed to his suggestion in principle. However, they still needed to wait for the results of the Elders’ Council’s examination. At the same time, Malfoy sent a projection of the fruit of the World Tree, allowing him to understand it carefully.

The World Tree fruit on the projection was as big as a fist, and its shape was like a green jade pineapple. Its surface was surrounded by symbols, and mysterious green light occasionally lit up inside. The fruit seemed to emit a tremendous amount of vitality, and the green light would occasionally shine and then disappear, as if it were the rhythm of the heart.

This wasn’t something that could fuse with a bloodline just by eating it. Perhaps only high-level apostles would know how to use it. However, this was not difficult for Qin Lun. He planned to exchange the broken crystals for some urban points, and then release information quests at the Apostle Mercenary Headquarters.

There were thousands of apostles in the Horn of the Abyss, some of them high-ranking apostles who had obtained the bloodline of intelligent races. This kind of information task didn’t require many metropolitan points, which was also the greatest benefit of being in the apostolic city, so it was extremely convenient to consult information.

Qin Lun closed the projection, went to the auction house, retrieved the three skill scrolls he had traded with Osiris, and then went to the training ground.

In the training field, Qin Lun first used the low-level stress training scroll. To his annoyance, this scroll was much worse than the previous intermediate stress training scroll. It was simply impossible to upgrade a beginner swordsman’s mastery to an intermediate swordsman’s mastery. He had only increased his proficiency by a portion, and he might need one or two scrolls of the same level to complete this upgrade.

When his mood calmed down, Qin Lun opened the Virtual Magic Web Scroll. As soon as his fingers touched the scroll runes, Qin Lun’s consciousness appeared in the vast starry sky.

This starry sky was very different from the starry sky in terms of physical concepts. A web of stars that seemed to be connected by countless galaxies appeared in front of Qin Lun. Every star on the web seemed to have its own consciousness, and countless magical mysteries flickered in the starlight.

Qin Lun looked at the mysterious starlight with great regret. He suddenly felt that he had wasted this skill scroll. The creator of this scroll was probably a high-level mage with profound magic knowledge. If he could understand this knowledge, he would most likely obtain more than one core of the magic web in this scroll. Perhaps, he would also obtain some other magic.

This scroll was probably not for the use of the apostles, but rather a magical inheritance similar to that of intelligent races. The apostles’ combat systems were self-contained and did not require the knowledge base of a single faction, so of course they were unable to understand this systematic knowledge base.

The Star Demon Web only existed for a short moment in Qin Lun’s consciousness. Most of the starlight began to condense together, and the Star Demon Web turned into a translucent multifaceted shuttle-shaped crystal.

At this moment, the crystal mirror magic array that was originally located in the Apostle Soul Seal had undergone a strange change. The crystal mirror magic array infinitely shrunk and embedded itself into the surface of the shuttle-shaped crystal, turning into a small magic symbol. The scattered starlight around it actually attached itself to the magic array, forming a few tiny tentacles on the four small and one large magic circles.

Qin Lun’s heart skipped a beat. He immediately rubbed his hands together and used the other two skill scrolls. When the Summoning Overlay Scroll and Drifting Technique turned into silver light and merged into the Apostle Soul Seal, as he had expected, a gratifying change occurred.
