The Author's POV

Chapter 184

Passing through the membranes in front of the door, I entered the room and took a moment to look at my surroundings.

The room was quite big, measuring about 50 x 50 ft. As I walked in, my nostrils instantly picked up the smell of a mixture of two very distinct smells, old wood, and burning hair.

The room was lit by only the glow of a small, unshaded lamp found on a moderately sized oak writing desk in the middle of the room. Behind the desk stood a large window with bronze handles that led to the balcony outside where you could overlook the garden that was on the ground floor.

"...not bad"

Glancing at the room, my eyes instantly drifted towards the balcony of the room, behind the desk, where a large potted plant stood.

With its branches intersecting with one another, the sharp tips of the branches pointed towards the sky. The plant had no leaves, and hanging from a couple of branches were four pale green fruits that had a red hue pulsating from them.

'Xurin'

That was the name of the fruit that hung from the plant.

...and also the plant that could cure the mind breaker curse. In fact, not only the mind-breaker curse but most curses out there.

The fruit before me was had an extremely potent effect against curses, with the mind-breaker curse being one of the curses it could cure.

Therefore, although I came here primarily for curing the curse on my parents, I was also enticed by the fact that the fruit could prove useful for me in the future.

...it's worth was immense.

-Clank!

"Come here..."

Opening the balcony door, I quickly arrived before the potted plant. Touching one of the fruits with my hand, I softly muttered.

"This looks pretty tasty"

Admiring the fruits before me, I was almost tempted to just take one and eat it right off the bat, but I refrained from doing so.

...I wasn't that stupid.

After admiring the fruits for a couple of seconds, I immediately placed the whole plant into my dimensional space.

Staring at the now empty spot where the plant used to be, I softly muttered.

"If only I could grow these fruits"

Ideally, I would've loved to have grown the plant back on earth.

Unfortunately, I couldn't.

Unless I could replicate the demonic environment around here, any hopes in growing the plant were basically nonexistent. Moreover, it took a couple of years for the fruit to grow so the thought of mass-producing the fruit could only be scrapped.

'Oh well, it's not like there won't be a chance in the future

Even if I couldn't grow the plant now, that didn't mean I couldn't find a solution in the near future.

Nothing was set in stone, and knowing this, I decided to take the whole thing with me.

"What next..."

Done taking care of the plant, I looked around for a moment. Soon, a smile appeared on my face.

"I guess it's about time I start plundering no?"

Going back into the room, arriving before the desk, I quickly took anything that I thought was useful. From every nook and cranny of the room, I just took everything that seemed to contain any worth.

Having spent basically everything that I had just to come here, I was now dirt poor.

I also still owed Smallsnake money, so if there was anything that looked remotely valuable I just took it.

As I stole, I couldn't help but think to myself.
