The Medallion

After their conversation, Rocky told Eunice to go ahead and get some rest first. Then, he also left the Ghost Palace and found a spot where he could enter the Magic Spiritual Space.

Inside it, he took some time to improve and enhance his Imperial Soul. Afterward, he remembered to take a look at the contents of Esteban's notebook. Upon reading them, he was extremely surprised at what he saw. It was just supposed to be a body dissecting course, but it actually listed all of the weaknesses of the Shura Race's royal family. Furthermore, it even mentioned something about the concept of making zombies that could then be manipulated.

However, it seemed that there was a lack of detailed information and knowledge about the technology to make the zombies. Hence, the concept was not finished.

But for Rocky, this was indeed interesting and worth a try. He found that it was feasible and might be useful for him.

Therefore, he wasted no time and began to study the idea of making zombies.

He spent the whole night just so he could grasp the concept further and make significant progress.

The following day, although Rocky did not even sleep for a minute the whole night, he was still energetic when left the Magic Spiritual Space. After all, upon reaching the Shura Realm, one did not really need to rest at all.

At this time, he went back to the Ghost Palace to collect some more materials in order to make zombies.

Then, at noon, a messenger arrived, saying that Gilbert was summoning Rocky to the meeting hall.

With that, Rocky had no choice but to halt his studies first and go to the meeting hall. Upon arriving, Rocky saw that all of the elders were there, and even some of the important figures of the Ghost Fief were present. All of them had gloomy expressions on their faces, indicating that they were in the middle of some kind of dilemma.

"What's the matter, sir? Why am I summoned here?" Rocky asked straightforwardly.

"We'll get to it. Have a seat first," Gilbert said.

After Rocky finally sat down, Gilbert started to speak.

"I actually planned on letting you rest for a few more days. However, because of the sudden assassination attempt last night, I had to call you here. We need to discuss something of utmost importance," Gilbert uttered in a low voice.

course. I said that it doesn't really matter who we choose to support. But considering the interests of our fief, it's better for us to choose the one we think has the biggest chances of winning. In fact, I can also speculate that the other fiefs have the same opinion. However, since not all fiefs have the same candidate in mind, we might be at a disadvantage." Rocky revealed a vague idea.

Gilbert and the elders nodded repeatedly. They all agreed that Rocky's analysis was comprehensible and reasonable. They had been focusing on which candidate to support when they should
