"A Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire brought the treasure here? But..." Rocky hesitated. It seemed strange because this was not recorded in The Witch's Book. Why would they not record such an important incident in the book? It could only mean that the Witch who had brought the spiritual treasure did not want anyone to know about its origin.

Moreover, it will quickly erase the troubles created by Alston, and bring peace to the Holy Dragon Empire." The other elders nodded in unison. Lena looked at Rocky's grim expression. After a pause, Elder Brendan continued, "We will save your father, the emperor from
