Chapter 1893

Macon and Gregory stared wide-eyed at Lord Voodoo.

They finally understood why the Orleanians feared the Stargulf plant.

Nearly everyone in Orleans practiced the art of charms and curses which relied on cursed bugs. If the Stargulf plant was capable of consuming cursed bugs, then it was the Orleanians' biggest enemy.

It was understandable why the Orleanians wanted to exterminate the plant.

"In that case, why is the Stargulf plant so precious to you?" Gregory asked.

"That's because after the plant was exterminated, people began to realize the wondrous way it could be used," Lord Voodoo said quietly.

"What's that?" Macon quickly probed.
