The Medallion

The calm smile on Laney's face wavered a little, but she stood her ground. "I know that General Marcia won't kill me. It's common-sense that people don't need to kill envoys between two fighting countries, not to mention that the two countries have already stopped fighting."

Marcia smiled appreciatively at her wit and then moved to take her overwhelming power back. She praised her sincerely, "No wonder Alyssa trusts you so much! It is not often that a normal woman, who is not even a spirit manipulator, can keep her cool in my presence. You are a very rare creature, and it would be a pity if I have to kill you. So, I suggest that you tell me everything you know. Don't test my patience, as I am sure you don't want to find out what happens when my patience runs out."

Laney didn't seem the least bit intimidated by Marcia's threat. She smiled pleasantly and took a sheath from her long sleeve, which she handed over to Marcia. "General Marcia, is this sheath familiar to you?" she asked.

Marcia only needed a single glance before recognizing that it was the Frozen Wind Dagger's sheath. She doubted her eyes for a second, so she stepped forward to get a closer look. "Where did you get this?" she asked, staring into Laney's eyes.

"Mr. Rookie gave it to me," answered Laney honestly.

"Mr. Rookie?" Marcia was confused at first because she didn't recognize the name. But suddenly, a powerful jolt passed through her body, as she connected the dots behind the name. This woman mentioned a Mr. Rookie, who must be Rocky, who was the same person as Basil. However, Rocky died a long time ago. When did he give the sheath to Laney, and why? Was there any message behind this action?

"General Marcia, I know that you must have a lot of questions running through your mind right now, but before anything else, I need you to know this: Mr. Rookie is still alive. He is safe, and he is staying in the Timber Deity Empire right now," Laney replied, her tone soft and gentle as if she was talking to an animal that was easily spooked.

Rocky was dead! They even held a tribute for him. Why did

Rookie is still alive," Laney repeated. Although she was speaking softly, her voice was firm and

she think that I would believe such an out and out lie?!" Marcia shouted angrily, completely losing her composure. She was not stupid enough to do this, with only a single sheath as evidence, and the

that General Marcia won't believe it, but she said that you can prove it yourself," whispered Laney. She sounded like she was empathizing with Marcia's

real. On the one hand, if the choice were hers, Marcia would believe Laney in a heartbeat. But on the other hand, she thought that it was ridiculous

Laney as a thought suddenly struck him. "I need to verify what you told me. If you want an answer from me or have to carry out whatever your master told you, then you have to stay here for a couple of days. But I

then. If a couple of days aren't enough, I can stay here as long as you want, until the truth comes out. Her Royal Highness ordered me to stay here in the Imperial City anyway. When Mr. Rookie comes back, I will be working for him. So, maybe it won't take long for me to work

a room for you." Laney's calm reaction reassured Marcia. She didn't look like she was hiding something. After that, she called

the pill. Of course, he had not dared to ingest it to be safe, as he was afraid that it would harm him. He reveled in the silence, as he dwelt on some questions that had been bothering him. First of all, he was not sure about the identity of the girl. Secondly, the girl had seemed to discover things by touching him once, as she had found out that another girl had rescued him before. She was Cherry. Rocky was curious about how

several days' research, he found that the pill was indeed just a pill. He also analyzed its composition, and it could cause no problem too. The only strange thing was that the spiritual power released by the pill was not reliable.
