The Medallion

"It took me a lot of effort to get this colored pearl for you. How are you going to thank me?" Alyssa asked with a soft smile on her face.

"Let me think. How about I marry you?" Rocky playfully teased.

"Oh, you wish." Alyssa put on a lovely smile, but then she suddenly became serious and added, "After their rebirth, the calamity beasts will surely harm the life in all of the countries built by humans. I heard the news that a pestilence broke out on the Holy Dragon Empire's border. Many said that the infected people would become horrifying corpses."

"Yes, that's right. The situation is really not good right now." Rocky nodded in agreement. His playfulness earlier was gone now.

"The situation of the Timber Deity Empire is also not good now. Many rivers have become dry because of the power of the calamity beasts. And besides that, it hasn't rained for a month already. Thousands of people are starving to death..." Alyssa deeply sighed. She was extremely worried about their situation

"Tell me, is there anything I can do for you?" Rocky asked seriously.

"No, it's alright. You can't offer help to those who are far away from you anyway. By the way, where are the others?" Alyssa felt strange when she saw that Rocky was alone. He was always surrounded by so many women on a normal day.

"I asked Sabina and the others to do something for me. Meanwhile, Isis and Nigel have returned to the Imperial City. So, I'm the only one left here now," Rocky briefly replied.

"I want to stay with you for a few days, but my brother asked me to go back to the Timber Deity Empire right away. It's such a pity," Alyssa said with regret. It was a rare opportunity to be completely alone with Rocky, but she had no other choice. There were a lot of things waiting for her to deal with in the Timber Deity Empire.

"There will surely be another chance in the future." Rocky faintly smiled.

"But I can stay here for a couple of hours."

Rocky had already collected eight of the colored pearls including the one sent by Alyssa, so there was only one left. He planned to go back to the Imperial City first and ask the emperor about the previous clues left by the Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire. He desperately wanted to find out the whereabouts of the last colored pearl.
