Chapter 49: Devil's Curse

  Seeing Lord Habern and others coming in a mighty rush, they returned dejectedly in less than half a moment. Hua Yun and others looked at each other in the main hall and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  They knew that after today's incident, Earl Habern would not come to trouble Casloth again unless both sides were really reckless and tore their faces apart. However, by then, with Arlequia and Saja present earlier, it would no longer be just a confrontation between Habern and Casloth.

  The Earl of Habern is no fool and would not have caused such a big rift between two families over something so trivial.

  For the dozen or so silver fruits she had left in the inn, Huayun didn't feel any heartache. Those dozen or so silver fruits were just infused with magical power from the medicinal water within her internal meridians to expand the ordinary silver fruit's internal meridians and increase their strength. In reality, these silver fruits didn't have any real restrictive powers; they only had the appearance of divine fruits but not the actuality. If Baron Haber really took those silver fruits as divine fruits, then he would be in for a disappointment!

  "Hua Yun, you're really hard to find!" Looking at Hua Yun, Sa Ha couldn't help but exclaim: "We first looked for you in the original inn in Kodo Town, then went to ask the Li Blade Mercenary Group about your whereabouts, but didn't expect that they had gone to the Magic Domain Mountain Range on a mission. It wasn't until we met Barlock that we found out you had left Kodo Town several days ago. We've been searching for you along the direction you departed from, and if we still can't find you in Wala City these few days, then we'll have to head back."

  "What's wrong, Saha? What brings you to find me?" Hearing Saha say that they had come all the way from Wangcheng specifically to look for him, even a fool would know that Saha and his companions must have something extremely urgent on their minds. Otherwise, they wouldn't be in such a hurry and have Are Ruoya accompany him.

  Saha let out a sigh: "We've come to find you, indeed there is an extremely important matter!" After finishing speaking, he turned his head to glance at Kaslot beside him.

  Casslot, who was good at observing people's expressions, naturally understood what to do now. Smiling, he said to Areluya and the others: "You guys chat here first, I'll go arrange things for you." With that, he led several servants out of the hall.

  After watching Caslot leave, Saha continued: "Hua Yun, I came this time to ask for your help. No, it should be that the Western Cloud Kingdom needs your help!"

  Here is the translation:

  "Speaking of which, Sahar's face turned gloomy. 'Do you still remember when I went to Kodo Town to find the Violet Lotus Fruit? Although the Violet Lotus Fruit is precious, it's not worth sending a royal court gardener to search for it in those mercenary towns. The truth is that something big happened at the Kingdom's Gardening Temple during that time. Some of the Violet Lotus Fruits inside the temple were cursed by a demon and began to wither away. If it was an ordinary demonic curse, it wouldn't be so bad, but this one was particularly severe. Even Lord Rudolf, a sixth-rank Plant Guide, couldn't do anything about it. Fortunately, the kingdom immediately transferred the divine plant stocks of the Violet Lotus Fruits that were cursed by the demon to prevent the curse from spreading to other divine plants.'"

  "I thought this matter would be settled, but unexpectedly, not long ago, the divine plants in the Plant Master's Hall were once again afflicted with a demon curse. This time, the spread of the curse was rapid and widespread, resulting in the death of many divine plants. Almost one-third of the divine plants in the Plant Master's Hall were affected by this demon curse, leaving us at a loss for what to do. We have sought help from other renowned plant masters within the kingdom, but even Lord Rudolf was unable to find a solution to this curse. If things continue like this, I fear that the yield of divine fruits in our kingdom will decrease by half, making it impossible for many warriors and mages to advance. Some may even defect to other countries. If other nations were to discover this weakness, they would likely take advantage of it to suppress our Western Kingdom, and before long, we would fall from being a kingdom to a mere principality."

  "Devil's curse? But what does this have to do with me?" Hua Yun furrowed his brow, he had also read about such things in books. The divine plants that were cursed would gradually rot and die, showing various different symptoms. The people of Ailen continent believed that this was a curse placed by the devil on the divine fruits. Hua Yun had never seen what a divine plant that had been cursed by the devil looked like, but judging from the descriptions in books, it didn't seem to be much different from the diseases that plants on earth suffered from.

  "Hehe, you don't have to be modest anymore. Since you were able to cure the Purple Lotus Fruit that even Lord Rudolf couldn't cure, I think you should have a way to deal with the Devil's Curse. If even you can't do it, we'll have no choice but to ask for help from the Plant Temple of another country. Who knows what conditions they'll impose on us then? Huayun, if possible, please come with us to the Lower Royal City. You're now our only hope in the Western Kingdom!" As he said this, Saha and Areluya both bowed deeply to Huayun.

  At this critical moment, Sa Ha asked the king of Xixi Kingdom to let him go find Hua Yun. It was not a groundless request. After being in contact with Hua Yun for some time, he was deeply shocked by some things that Hua Yun had taught him before.

  This time, the divine seedling was afflicted with a devil's curse. The other planters in the Kingdom of Planters' Hall used all their efforts to no avail, and even Lord Rudolf's planter magic was completely ineffective. Only he, Sahar, using some knowledge taught by Hua Yun, made reasonable arrangements for things like soil and air, barely controlling the spread of the devil's curse on the divine seedling. However, since he only learned a little from Hua Yun, not even enough to be considered basic, he could only do this much. Sahar then explained the reason to the King of Westsis Kingdom, asking to go find Hua Yun at this critical moment.

  Otherwise, the king of the Western Kingdom would never let Saha, the only plant master who can control the evil curse, go out at this time.

  "Alright! Then I'll go try, but I can't guarantee that there will be a way!" Huayun replied to Sa Ha with a hint of tact.

  If Huayun had a full set of equipment and various chemicals from Earth on him now, even if the devil's curse was a plant disease that Huayun had never seen before, he would have a way to find a cure. However, in this Allen continent where there is no microscope, no chemical agents, not even viruses or bacteria can be observed, Huayun also did not have full confidence in his heart.

  "I believe you can do it!" Seeing Hua Yun nod, Saha's face immediately broke into a smile. On the way, he wasn't sure if Hua Yun could really cure the devil's curse, but after seeing Hua Yun, Saha suddenly felt an unshakeable faith in him. It was a very strange feeling, just like when Saha believed that Hua Yun could heal the purple lotus fruit. This unconditional trust came from the depths of Saha's soul.

  Hua Yun didn't know that although he hadn't spent much time with Saha, he had a peculiar charm on him that made others believe in him. Whether it was Saha, Lokuen or Ron, they would all be infected by the charm on Hua Yun and unknowingly believe in him!
