The Medallion

Chapter 1721 Went Back To Ghost Fief

"Please come with me. I need to talk with you in private," Vivian said as she approached Valeria and gestured her to get on her beast. Afterward, the two women went away from the team and went to a place where they could talk in peace. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"What is the matter?" Seeing that Vivian was acting quite strange, Valeria quickly asked her what was going on.

"Well, it is actually about your engagement with Odin. What are your thoughts about it now?" Vivian asked straightforwardly.

"What do you mean?" Valeria was quite taken aback by the sudden question.

"Shouldn't you be thinking about the wedding already?" Vivian directly pointed it out.

"The wedding?" Valeria repeated and could not help but swallow. The expression on her face slightly changed. After all, she had not yet begun thinking about it.

"I know that you had doubts about him before. But you have witnessed Odin's strength, and you should have a better impression of him by now. Since you are engaged, you will inevitably get married sooner or later. But I suggest that you'd better hurry up," Vivian bluntly remarked.

"But… I haven't really thought about it yet," Valeria mumbled softly.

"Actually, the other reason why I told you this is because something's bothering me," Vivian said as her face became more serious.

"What is it?" Valeria asked with slightly furrowed brows.

"Haven't you noticed the attitude of the Godly Genius of the Genie Fief towards Odin? I think that she is planning something, and she might even take action soon. Don't forget that technically, she is also

engaged to him. If she used it to her advantage, I'm afraid that the Flower Fief would be in trouble." Since Vivian was an outsider that had a neutral set of eyes, she could easily discern that Gloria was infatuated with Rocky based on how she talked and behaved in front of him.

"You mean that she might take action first?" Only then did Valeria realize the gravity of the situation.

"Yes, it is very likely. So, I suggest that it would be better if the two of you got married right after you get back. This way, even if she tries to intervene afterward, you will still have the advantage," Vivian explained.

"I understand what you are saying… But I actually never thought of marrying that guy," Valeria protested as she pouted.

"Well, it is your marriage. So, in the end, I don't really have a say in it. But of course, for the interest of the Flower Fief, you know that you have to be prepared to do it." Vivian grew up in a complicated environment where countless disputes and conflicts of interest occurred. So, she knew that one should sometimes make sacrifices for the greater good of many.

"Okay! Just let me think about it first!" Valeria felt pressured that she could not think clearly.

"Of course. My intention is just to remind you. As for the decision that you will make, it will solely depend on you." After saying that, Vivian eventually accompanied Valeria back.

Then, after three days, Vivian, together with her team members, returned to the Ghost Fief. At the same time, Gilbert, who had received the news from Vivian in advance, led the elders and some of his subordinates to welcome them at the gate of his mansion.

"Leader, we are back." As they saw Gilbert waiting for them there, Vivian, Rocky, and Valeria all stepped forward and cupped their hands to greet him.

"Thank you for all your hard work. I can't wait to hear the details of your trip!" Gilbert said with a huge smile.

Immediately after, Rocky and the others followed Gilbert and the elders into the conference hall.

As they arrived at the hall, everyone took their seats. Then, with a genuine look of admiration on his face, Gilbert uttered, "Odin, you did a great job! I actually did not expect that you will be able to make Nether Dragon King submit to you. Moreover, you were able to defeat the other Godly Geniuses in the process. That is amazing!"

"Thank you for your praise, leader. I am deeply flattered. However, I just made the Nether Dragon King surrender. I was not able to take it back. Hence, I think I haven't fully completed the task yet," Rocky humbly replied.

"Well, yes, that is true. However, at this moment, it can only be judged by the gods. What's important right now is that you are able to come back safe and sound," Gilbert said with a gentle smile on his face. It was actually rare to see him smile so much because he always wore a serious expression.

"By the way, leader, on our trip to the Nether Fire Land, we also witnessed the strength of the other Godly Geniuses. According to my observation, the Godly Genius of the Primitive Fief should be our worst enemy. Next to him would be the Godly Genius of the Purgatory Fief. Although he is still young, he is very resourceful and cunning," Vivian briefly reported.

"The Godly Genius from the Purgatory Fief, huh? If that is the case, we will need to collect more information about him from now on," Gilbert declared decisively.

"But I also think that the Godly Genius of the Genie Fief will be very troublesome…" Vivian continued and expressed her opinion.

"Hmm. After she left my mansion, she actually went directly to the Nether Fire Land alone. I must say that she has quite the guts." At the mention of Gloria, Gilbert suddenly felt a headache again.

"Yes, and I also think that she has already developed feelings for…" Vivian softly uttered as she glanced at Rocky.

Obviously, Gilbert quickly understood what she meant. But then, he just waved his hand and said, "All of you must be pretty exhausted. For now, you should go back and take a rest. We'll discuss some more later."

"All right then. I'll go ahead," Rocky said and eventually left.

At the same time, Valeria also cupped her hands and left the hall.

Afterward, Gilbert asked the elders and servants to leave, until only he and Vivian were left.

"Vivian, thank you very much for your service," Gilbert said with utmost gratefulness.

"You're welcome, leader. In fact, Odin has been a great help in the task. If it weren't for him, the joint guard team would have suffered such a great loss. I have to admit that we had underestimated him." Vivian didn't think that highly of Rocky before. But after the task, she had completely changed her opinion towards him.

"Well, since he was chosen as the Godly Genius, I know that he is deserving of the position. Hence, I never really doubted his abilities." Gilbert nodded as he sighed.

"By the way, as I was saying earlier, you may have to pay attention to the actions of the Genie Fief. I'm sure that sooner or later, their Godly Genius will take action and use her engagement with Odin to snatch him." Vivian was finally able to say it directly since no one else was around.

"I see. You may also leave and have a rest now."

After that, Vivian left Gilbert and went out of the hall.

As Rocky returned to the Ghost Palace, he saw that Esteban was actually busy dissecting a corpse. Seeing that Rocky had come back, he greeted him without even taking his eyes off what he was doing. "Oh? You are finally back!"

"Here. These are the Nether Fire Flowers that you wanted." Rocky took out the flowers that he had collected and handed them over to Esteban.

"Great! It seems that you were able to complete the task this time," Esteban happily said as he took a look at the flowers. Seeing that they were indeed the Nether Fire Flowers, he repeatedly nodded in satisfaction.

"How did you know that I did it this time?" Rocky asked with furrowed brows.

"Ha-ha! I'm like a prophet. I can predict things," Esteban replied as he laughed complacently.

"Really? So, did you also predict that I have entered the sacred place of the royal family?" Rocky asked with a faint smile.

"What? Is that true? Were you able to get anything?" Esteban was quite surprised. He did not expect that Rocky would really be able to enter the sacred place of the royal family of the Shura Race.

"Well, yeah, I gained something. But the most important thing that I acquired is the secret of the royal family," Rocky said with a slightly serious face.

"The secret of the royal family? Then, don't bother telling me about it. After all, we don't know if it may get me killed someday or bring such a misfortune." Esteban quickly waved his hand, playing things safe for his own sake.

"Well, I guess you are right," Rocky agreed and did not say anything more about the topic.

"It's good that you're back. But I'm sure that she gave you a hard time. Am I right?" Esteban asked in a teasing tone.

"Everything went fine, although she has been injured. So, I'm afraid that you'll have to help her heal in the next few days," Rocky said bluntly.

"Why me? Aren't you able to heal her wounds yourself?" Esteban replied as he rolled his eyes at Rocky.

"I can, but it won't be convenient…" Rocky said as he shook his head.
