Chapter 360: Mutual Benefits

Su Wan asked for a lot of details about the ruins. The Dark Demonic Tree was apparently located in an inconspicuous corner of the ruins.
Now that the ruins had collapsed, more than half the area was buried under sand and rubble.
The only dangerous place in the ruins was the tomb in the center. It was supposed to be guarded by some terrifying creature.
They were all above level 65, and there were at least 100 of them. The Lords had even seen a Level 69 leader.
However, there were no treasures inside. The Lords had used special methods to explore the whole area.
Su Wan and Xu Yuan made up their minds. The ruin was an important place, and there was probably a nightmare-level creature hiding inside.
With their current strength, they had a chance of winning the fight against such creatures.
…..
Xu Yuan guessed that the ruin was not as simple as the Lords made it out to be. There was definitely something in the center.
If they made their way there and came back with the Dark Demonic Tree, it would still be worth it! It might be a dead tree to others, but it was different for him.
Su Wan chose 10 weapons and paid 5% more than what the other Chamber of Commerce might have paid them. She had the information she needed and didn’t mind returning the favor.
It cost her a total of 1 million units of resources.
The value of the information she had obtained was far beyond what these resources could compare to.
The Lords were ecstatic. For Lords who had lost their territories, it was difficult to make an income.
Su Wan informed the Lords that she was looking for a Soul Contract, and if they could find any information on it, she would reward them handsomely.
When the Lords heard that she was willing to reward them with A-class treasures, they were excited. They patted their chests and told Su Wan that they would definitely get the information she needed.
After they left, Su Wan transferred the weapons into the system space. She left the branch on the table to study it more.
When Tristana came down to the main hall, she saw Su Wan looking at the branch in her hands.
“Lord Su Wan, what are you doing?”
“I found something interesting,” said Su Wan. “How’s the research on the Victory Gem coming along?” Su Wan put away the branch.
“The Victory Gem is too complicated. We can only vaguely sense the special imprint contained within it,” said Claude. “We’ll need to ask Grand Duke Frostwolf about it.”
“The Grand Duke Frostwolf is a believer?” asked Su Wan in surprise.
“Grand Duke Frostwolf and a believer of the goddess are the closest of friends.
The believer is also at the legendary level,” said Claude.
Su Wan felt uneasy. All the powerful people lived such simple lives.
“Lord Su Wan and Lord Xu Yuan, please come with me to the Frostwolf Territory, I’ll find a treasure that can be of use to you,” said Tristana.
“Perhaps another time. I do want to visit the Ice Empire. I especially want to see the Frost Ore,” said Su Wan.
Su Wan also wanted to visit the Vampire Castle to find out more about the Vampire Duke. The Beastmen had snatched the Blood Coffin of the Vampire Duke from the Vampire Castle, after all.

“Lord Su Wan visited the Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce personally. Why are you asking me about her? Didn’t you meet her?” said President Nami.
“What? When? I didn’t even know about it.”
“This morning. She went to the black market and then visited the Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce to buy some armor. The staff showed her around,” said Zorro.
“I didn’t go to the black market today. Shouldn’t you be accompanying Su Wan to Canglan City?” Bayion asked.
“Lady Tristana brought Lord Su Wan to Canglan City, so she’s showing her around,” said Zorro.
“Tristana is here?! Why didn’t she meet me? I thought Tristana just went to meet Su Wan to buy the Scarlet Flame Demon Spider Silk. Are they close now?” Bayion frowned.
“Lord Su Wan is extraordinary. Lady Tristana is giving away Lavender Manor to Lord Su Wan as a gift,” said President Nami as he lifted her cup of tea to her lips.
“That’s impossible! Why would Tristana give away her manor to some Lord?” asked Bayion in disbelief.
“That was what Lady Tristana said when we met her this morning,” said Zorro. He was also puzzled by that.
Zorro didn’t think Tristana and Su Wan had known each other long enough to reach that state of goodwill. He was confused why Lady Tristana had done something like that.
Bayion was impatient. She got up and walked out. “I have to find Tristana. That Lord must have tricked her!”
“Your Highness, that’s not necessary!”
Before they could stop her, Bayion had already walked away.
“President Nami, do you want me to go and make sure that everything is alright?” asked Zorro.
“No need. It’s just a small matter.” Nami was deep in thought. “Have the people from the Red Dragon Store returned?”
“Not yet.”
“I don’t know if Teacher will approve of Su Wan,” said President Nami. “We don’t have much time left.”.
Zorro was silent..
