Chapter 205: Magic Continent Rose Manor
“Miss Rose, I wonder what I should do to earn the right to stay here for a few days?”
Rose looked at Roger, and after seeing him nod, she slowly said, “Rose Manor is the only place on the entire Magic Continent that produces roses. If guests need to wait for the train here, they must cultivate a flower room full of roses. Roger will take guests to the flower room. As long as the flowers in the flower room are sufficient, we will naturally not stop guests from boarding the train.”
Stop them?
Hearing this, Sang Chu’s heart skipped a beat. She hadn’t expected the most difficult part to be here!
These two people, one named Rose and the other Roger, could not only see the train but also intercept them and prevent them from boarding?
This is too terrifying!
Sang Chu maintained a smile on her face, “Alright, I have some prey to sell. I wonder if Miss Rose could do me a favor. I’ll likely be spending all my time in the flower room from now on, so I probably won’t have time to go out and sell prey.”
Roger said from the side, “Just hand the prey over to me, guest. I will transfer the Crystal Coins to your account, and the reward for cultivating the roses will not be less.”
There’s a reward for cultivating roses too?
It seems they really know how to play the game of giving a slap and then a sweet date.
Sang Chu said, “Thank you very much.”
Roger looked at Sang Chu, clapped his hands, and a servant who looked like a ghost instantly appeared before him. “You, take these distinguished guests to the second floor to rest.”
“Yes, please follow me, everyone.”
Seeing Roger looking at her, Sang Chu understood that “guests” did not include her. She turned to Sang Jing Wen and the others, “Brother, you all go upstairs with her to rest. Call me if you need anything.”
Xue You was worried about Sang Chu being alone with this man who seemed to be more powerful than him. “I’ll go with you.”
Roger said, “Demon King Lord, please rest assured. Rose Manor is the boarding point. We have an agreement with Steward Qin. As long as the ticket holder can cultivate enough flowers, we will not trouble them and will ensure their personal safety within the manor. As long as the ticket holder does not break the agreement, everything will proceed as usual.”
Xue You looked at Roger vigilantly, but Sang Chu patted his shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, it’s fine. Go upstairs with my brother and the others to wait for me first.”
“Then call me if you need anything.”
“Mm.”
Xue You and Sang Jing Wen kept looking back at Sang Chu as they walked, and only after they had ascended the stairs did Roger lead Sang Chu towards the flower room.
Leaving through a side door of the castle led to a large area of crystal flower rooms. Each flower room was filled with delicate and alluring roses, each emitting a captivating fragrance.
“These are flowers cultivated by previous ticket holders. We provide the flower seeds; you just need to accelerate their growth.”
Listening to Roger’s words, Sang Chu was very curious. Ticket holders usually majored in Mental Power, so why would they also accelerate the growth of plants?
“Can I accelerate the growth of all of them?”
A strange smile appeared on Roger’s warm and handsome face. He opened a flower room, and on the ground, besides the flowers, there were also White Bones.
At this point, Sang Chu understood everything!
“Lord Roger, please rest assured, I can accelerate the growth of the roses. I only hope you will keep your promise and protect my brother and the others.”
Roger said, “Rose Manor is a place where ordinary people cannot enter or leave. In previous years, during the celebration, I would send the flowers out. Therefore, besides the ticket holder and their companions, no one can enter. Miss Sang Chu’s train is expected in about seven days. During these seven days, I hope you can accelerate the growth of the roses in the third flower room. Otherwise, the isolation array in the flower room will cause you to miss the train, and without the ticket holder, your brother and the others will not be able to board either.”
After speaking, he turned to leave. Sang Chu asked him from behind, “Mr. Roger, were you also a ticket holder?”
“No, I was a Client. It’s just that I met a good person, and she returned everything here to me and my Master, which allowed us to crawl out of the endless abyss. Therefore, we are willing to make a trade with her and Steward Qin. However, if the conditions cannot be met, I believe it’s better for such people to stay and become flower fertilizer. At least they can make the roses bloom longer and more vibrantly.”
Roger’s words sent a chill down her spine. Watching him leave, the glass door locked, and Sang Chu felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
The one person and one rabbit walked towards the third flower room. Along the way, they saw many White Bones on the ground, with new flowers growing from them, as red as blood and as delicate as dew.
Tu You, invisible, perched on Sang Chu’s shoulder, curiously looking at the White Bones. “How many ticket holders must have perished here?”
“Judging by the scale, it’s definitely a lot. The reason these roses can grow so well is likely related to these White Bones.”
Tu You said, “Of course. Every ticket holder has top-tier talent, and the Energy they contain is immeasurable. But to think they all perished here, it’s too tragic.”
Sang Chu replied, “I can understand it, actually. Unlike me, who stumbled onto the train by accident and has no Supernatural Ability, so my determination to survive is the greatest, maximizing my potential. But they were already prodigies when they boarded the train. Arrogance is a given; they all think they are superior. When they encounter good cultivation methods in other worlds, they probably won’t develop their potential further, and thus, they won’t master other abilities.”
For example, the Wood Element Supernatural Ability from the Apocalypse, or the characteristics of the Wood Spiritual Root attribute from the Spirit World, were not developed. Naturally, they couldn’t accelerate the growth of roses required by the conditions to leave on the Magic Continent.
This is probably why more people enter the Magic Continent than leave.
Tu You said, “Then you’ll have to spend the next seven days here. Fortunately, your Wood Element Supernatural Ability…”
Before he could finish speaking, he was stunned by the scale of the flower room. All the way here, it was just a small flower room, so why was the third one so huge!
This must be several thousand square meters!
“This is too big! How long will it take to accelerate the growth of all these!”
Tu You looked around in astonishment, surveying the area. Suddenly, he spotted ten bags of flower seeds and a lot of Wood Cores in a corner and couldn’t help but exclaim:
“This is truly thoughtful, A Chu. They’ve even prepared Crystal Cores for you. It seems Roger really has a connection with Mian Ge, otherwise, how would he know your name and know you’re a Supernatural Ability User!”
Generally, Spirit Stones are the most common for replenishing Energy. They can be used by cultivators, immortal cultivators, demon cultivators, and devil cultivators. However, Wood Cores are more specific; they can only provide Energy to Supernatural Ability Users. Therefore, if they didn’t know in advance, they wouldn’t have prepared them.
Sang Chu said, “Since I’m here, I’ll make the best of it. I’ll treat it as practice for my Supernatural Ability. Help me take out those Crystal Cores. Place one every two to three meters along a row. Given the size of this flower room, I don’t think I’ll need to rest. Otherwise, I definitely won’t make it to the train!”
Tu You stuffed all the Crystal Cores into his belly so he could take them out and use them later. “If only we had come in earlier!”
