Chapter 49: The Evil Spirit Estate
Kubero's estate had become a desolate shell in just a month or two, once bustling with life.
During the day, it was somewhat tolerable, but at night, it was filled with ghostly shadows.
The soldiers tasked with guarding the estate heard strange wailing sounds at night, as if a ghostly woman were lamenting, leaving them unable to sleep soundly.
If it weren't for their superiors pushing them, the soldiers would have long since fled.
The Silvermoon Viscount had previously sent a team inside to explore. A major knight and five others entered, but only one knight emerged, and he was clearly mentally unstable.
Standing a short distance away from the estate, the Viscount recalled the loss of the major knight and the others, feeling a pang of regret.
"What's the situation inside now?" Sunan asked.
The secretary beside him quickly replied, "The estate is now overrun with Mandrakes. Most of the original plants have withered away, and sometimes a faint mist appears during the day."
Upon hearing this, Sunan's eyes flickered.
Mandrakes were beautiful and could be used medicinally, but they were also toxic and had hallucinogenic effects.
The Mandrakes accompanying the Bloodstained Mandrakes in the estate would undoubtedly be more potent and hallucinogenic than ordinary ones.
