The Medallion

"Did you tell General Marcia about this?" As Bryant studied Rocky, he could not help but praise the prince internally. Rocky was so much younger than him, and yet, he always showed great courage no matter the circumstance. Suddenly, he felt ashamed of his inferiority.

"She will never agree, so I want to ask you for a favor, Chief Bryant. When the time comes..." Rocky leaned closer to him and whispered the details secretively.

As he listened, the frown on Bryant's face grew bigger and bigger. He hesitated for a short while, but he nodded his permission in the end because the prince had made this plan and he had no reason to object. As a loyal courtier of the Holy Dragon Empire, he naturally had to protect the emperor.

Seeing that Bryant was receptive to his wishes, Rocky smiled gratefully at him. "Thank you, Chief Bryant."

"Prince Basil, if you are lucky enough to get through this safe and sound, and if one day you can ascend the throne, you can count on my support and the support of the Ximen Clan," Bryant promised as he patted Rocky on his shoulder with his thick and sturdy palm. In his mind, Rocky had shown that he truly deserved to be admired. He had exhibited the character of a great leader, and as a prince, he always took the lead in dealing with any difficult tasks. In a word, he was exemplary.

"Well, we'll talk about that later. But still, thank you," Rocky said calmly, as he turned away.

Soon, the sun fell from its perch in the sky, covering the whole land in darkness.

The rescue team set out as soon as the night fell, and went to where they suspected that the emperor was imprisoned. Marcia took the lead, so their journey went smoothly, but they still had to be careful. The supernatural beasts dared not step into the Dragon Master Clan's territory, but they could not let their guard down as the danger was around them. If their whereabouts were exposed, the entire Dragon Master Clan could surround them in an instant.

About two hours later, after circling half of the Dragon Master Clan's territory, the rescue team finally arrived outside a valley. The entrance to the valley was in the shape of a very steep slope, and they could see faint lights flashing inside.

"General Marcia, what is this place?" Rocky asked, studying the valley curiously.

Moreover, once they enter this valley, they will not be able to leave for the rest of their lives, so most of the people who have entered here die inside." Marcia's face changed slightly.
