Chapter 57: Queen Joins the Group, Plot to Seize the Yellow Spring Fruit

Their transaction was satisfactorily completed.

Sylvanas promised Luode that, as long as he helped her revive, she would be willing to serve him, and after her revival she would serve him for another hundred years.

"This is really a special experience; I'm getting more and more interested in you, little man. After I revive, let's try again!" Sylvanas said, then lightly brushed her arm against Luode's arm.

As an undead creature, she felt nothing physically, but that scene still gave her mind a strong stimulation.

At this moment, Sylvanas's soul felt a satisfaction unlike anything before; after she took the power of that skeleton, she would try it with this kid.

"I'm also looking forward to seeing what you look like after you revive, but your purple skin and that icy touch also have their own charm!" Luode said.

"By then you'd better hold out; don't be like this time, finishing so quickly—I'll be dissatisfied.

Now down to business: how do we seize the power inside that special undead you gave me?

"Tell me the specific method; I've already paid you the reward."

Sylvanas regained her icy, stunning visage, then sat opposite Luode and asked.

"First, you need to kill him; if you don't kill him, you can't take the power inside him." Luode said.

"Do I need to act now? I must do it myself."

"No, no, I don't know if fruits can quickly regenerate in this world, and if they want to regenerate, they also need many conditions." Luode said.

After a Devil Fruit user dies, their ability is said to randomly attach to a nearby fruit, forming a new Devil Fruit, but Luode couldn't be sure whether this rule still applies in the world of Azeroth; even in the pirate world, it's uncertain, after all, even if a Devil Fruit is reborn, it has no fixed range.

During the Summit War, Blackbeard possibly used the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit to generate a strong suction, allowing the Quake-Quake Fruit to successfully rebirth into his hands.

Two years later in the New World, Blackbeard also used this method, capturing Devil Fruit users everywhere and equipping several of his major captains with suitable Fruit abilities.

Luode didn't have that, but perhaps he could try Azeroth's magic to produce the same suction effect.

"You just mentioned another world? Hahaha, I guessed right—this special undead is something you brought from another world." Sylvanas showed an expression of understanding, looked at Luode, and said.

This undead is truly too special—it doesn't resemble anything native to Azeroth, nor does it seem man-made, so Sylvanas boldly guessed it might be from another world.

"Sylvanas, do you know of any magic or item that can generate a strong pulling force, drawing in everything around you or whatever you want?" Luode asked.

"Do warlocks' life drain count? And our banshees' life siphon—these should count as pulling things in, right? Or the blood elves' mana drain ability?" Sylvanas said.

Magic that can absorb things, warlocks, blood elf mages, and even her, the Banshee Queen, all have this ability.

Even if she activates her life-drain ability, she can instantly desiccate a living person, turning them into a dry corpse, stripping all life essence and even absorbing their soul. "Let's test it!" Luode said. "Here's how: first, we try the drain magic, which has a chance to yield this fruit; second, I find someone to help us absorb this fruit, which would guarantee success."

Obtaining a Devil Fruit ability actually has another method: Charlotte Linlin once used a terribly frightening method, eating whole a nun she deeply revered.

Thereby gaining the Soul-Soul Fruit ability, but given Sylvanas's physique, having her eat Buluke would clearly be unsuitable, and even if possible, she estimates she wouldn't do it so dryly.

So we can only try the blood elves' mana absorption and the warlocks' life drain, or have the Queen herself use life-drain to see if we can get this fruit out after Buluke's death.

But Luode doesn't dare guarantee a 100% success rate for any of these, so the most reliable method is still to find Blackbeard and have him handle it.

As for whether Blackbeard would help, heh! Kaido would make him very willing; if he tried any tricks, Kaido would instantly kill Blackbeard.

Now Kaido's combat power absolutely crushes that of a Yonko; especially after learning a warrior's rage, his future combat power could rise to an unimaginable level.

By the way, can I dual‑class?

Many warlocks are actually mages or shamans who switched professions; I could perhaps study some mage power, and my physique isn't bad either—I can also call upon rage's power.

Many experts in the world of Azeroth actually master more than one profession; for example, the future Queen—you say she's weak in melee?

A hunter, wielding a knife, could cleave a warrior in half; and if the Queen wanted, she could even moonlight as a Death Knight, after all, she also commands the power of the Shadow Realm.

"This is my only chance; I don't want any mistakes, so Luode, can you help me with this? Please have that friend you mentioned lend a hand." Sylvanas said.

Anything with a chance, she now dares not gamble on; it must be guaranteed to succeed.

"Got it. We'll first go to Outland to capture an Abyssal Lord, then you and I will head to another world to try to obtain the Yellow Spring Fruit ability." Luode said.

The Queen doesn't want to gamble, nor does he, so let's just have Blackbeard help out! The Yellow Spring Fruit is too important for Sylvanas.

In the future, Luode could try using magical abilities to test, capturing some Devil Fruit users.

"Capturing an Abyssal Lord—you really thought of that? I can help too; I have a Dreadlord under my command, I'll bring him along to help you." Sylvanas said.

Although she joined the Horde, this man before her—following him offers a brighter future than following the Horde.

This is Sylvanas's feminine sixth sense telling her: a fine bird chooses its tree to roost.

Xiwa is actually quite skilled at flirting with men; the novel describes it in great detail.
