Dragons were at the top of the food chain in this world. The longer they lived, the more terrifying they became. Dragons were ancient creatures. They weren’t feared and revered any less than gods.

‘How strong was this man when he fought a dragon?!’ Su Wan wondered.

“Mr. Bartos, how long do you have?” Su Wan asked.

“Three months at most. If you can’t find God’s Heart by then… 1 guess I’ll be having tea with the God of Death.” Bartos grinned.

There was no fear or anxiety in his voice. He seemed as relaxed as ever.

Su Wan was conflicted. The mission was complex, and the reward was tempting. However, the dangers…

Perhaps if Xu Yuan came along, she might still have a chance.

“Mr. Bartos, I always treasure my friends,” said Su Wan. “And President Nami specifically mentioned you. She is a friend to me. 1 accept this mission. Within three months, God’s Heart wall be in your hands.”

Although the mission was difficult, the reward was remarkable. She couldn’t miss the chance to obtain the Soul Contract.

Bartos nodded. “I like your confidence.”

He took out a thumb-sized compass from his pocket. “Here.” He passed it to Su Wan. “You need to prick your finger and drop your blood on this. It’ll guide you inside the temple.”

Su Wan accepted the compass. A notification appeared.

[S-class mission accepted! Please complete the mission within three months. The mission will expire automatically after three months.]

Su Wan took a deep breath and looked at Bartos. She needed to do this! If she could get the Soul Contract, nobody would dare touch her territory with the Vampire Duke around.

Su Wan was glad for the chance. The trip to Canglan City was worth it!

She asked Bartos for more details of the mission. She even asked him about the Dimension Stone and World Tree Seed. Bartos had the answer to everything. Even if he was only at Level 3 right now, he had once been a demigod! He had adventured far and wide.

After that, Su Wan, Xu Yuan, and Tristana left the store.

Bartos watched them leave. He leaned back on his rocking chair. It seemed he had aged another ten years at that moment.

A cloaked figure appeared behind him.

“Lord Bartos, this Lord is not as simple as she seems. The Dark Demon Dragon… it’s highly likely that he knows about my existence!” The blue eyes under the black cloak stared at Bartos.

Bartos didn’t respond. His eyes were closed. He was conflicted. Could this Lord finally bring God’s Heart to him?

“We’ve waited too long for this, Lord Bartos. All of us… we’re waiting for you to rise again and lead us.”

After leaving the Red Dragon Store, Su Wan strolled through the market listlessly.

Su Wan turned to look at Tristana beside her.

“Tristana, did you ever hear about Bartos and his… ailment before this?”

A demigod who could survive without a heart sounded like an existence from myths and legends.

Moreover, Bartos had a divine artifact. If he hadn’t lost his power, he would probably be a ruler of some empire.

“The world is huge. There are numerous others like Mr. Bartos.”

Su Wan was silent. The natives had existed for so long that they were more powerful than the new and upcoming Lords.

Su Wan felt lucky that she had Xu Yuan. She had advanced so quickly because of him.

Su Wan finally understood why Xu Yuan always pressured her to become stronger.

“What do you think of Bartos?” Su Wan asked Tristana.

“When he was at his peak, he must have been unimaginably powerful.”

Tristana looked wistful. If she had the power to kill an ancient dragon, no one would dare stand in her way.

“Lord Su Wan, the danger in that temple might be beyond your imagination,” said Tristana. “Please reconsider this mission. You are still growing as a Lord, and your territory has so much potential. There is no need to take unnecessary risks. With the Scarlet Flame Demon Spider Silk, I’ll implement my plan soon. After 1 take control of my family, 1’11 have more freedom. 1’11 do everything to get you a Soul Contract.”

Su Wan was moved. She respected and admired Tristana even more than before.

“Don’t worry. I’ll heed your concerns. I’ll prepare wholeheartedly for the mission. Without absolute confidence, I won’t venture into the temple at all.”

Tristana nodded. She knew that Su Wan wasn’t an impulsive person. So, she wouldn’t rush into danger without appropriate preparations.

“Tristana, where can I buy high-level armor?” asked Su Wan.

“Archduke Qing You’s shop has some powerful armor.”

“Archduke Qing You?”

Tristana nodded. “The Paragon of Qing You and a legendary ascetic.”

Archduke Qing You was only one step away from becoming a demigod. The fact that an ascetic could become a legend was admirable.

‘Ascetics… seems like a very rare profession.’

This was the first time Su Wan had heard of such a profession..
