Chapter 71: Who is the Royal Family?
On the dazzling branches of the Golden Tree, even the leaves, which are in no way inferior to gemstones, cannot conceal the fruit that blooms like a crimson sun.
Blood Origin Fruit!
This fruit, capable of evolving the bloodline of creatures and tracing back to ancestral roots, has grown to the size of a sweet orange. This is not only the largest Blood Origin Fruit Noah has ever seen but also the largest fruit borne by the Golden Tree, and its source of nutrients...
Noah lowered his head, looking at the many scenes reflected in the occasional ripples on the Golden Tree Roots. The location was consistently the same—a long and narrow valley where flames surged.
Like an iron-cast fortress standing on one side of the valley, it emanates an aura of bloodthirst and slaughter so tangible it’s almost solid. On the outermost part of the fortress, covered in claw marks and gaps, solidified dark purplish-black bloodstains mixed with fresh crimson blood seep deeply into the bricks.
These are the last traces left by the monsters that erupted from the Dark Territory after being slain. But these stains don’t just come from the monsters; they also come from the Knights of the Augustus family and the Giants who went into battle alongside the Knights, as well as the creatures they had tamed.
This is the result of one fierce battle after another, accumulated over time. The frontline battlefield is far from as relaxed as Elisium City imagines from the rear.
If it were truly an easily obtainable vast gold mine, Selena would never have opened the Transmission Array to high-rank adventurer groups and numerous slave traders.
