The Medallion novel Chapter 1024

Meanwhile, clouds obscured the moonlight, and the prince's mansion was as quiet as it had always been.

Inside the room, Rocky was busy refining the Holy Spirit Panacea when he suddenly heard a loud sound coming from outside the door. Immediately, he did not hesitate to go to the source of the sound. Soon after, he opened the door and saw a piece of cloth, making its way over to him. He took it and later identified it as a piece of broken cloth in good quality. However, when he put it close to his nose, his eyes became wider as he found the cloth's scent to be very familiar.

"This scent is Queenie's..." Rocky mumbled to himself as he sniffed it carefully.

Meanwhile, a black figure flashed through the courtyard just outside his room.

When Rocky saw this, he immediately flew out. As a result, the black figure saw Rocky come out and quickly flew over the roof and walls and eventually left the area.

"Is he trying to lure me out?" Even though Rocky knew he was not supposed to fall into the figure's trap, he still cared about the cloth that he found a while ago. Moreover, thinking of what Alyssa had warned him about, he could almost guess the reason why the figure lured him out. As a result, he soon followed the figure without hesitation.

Out of the mansion, he ran and chased this figure until he was out of the capital. But not long after, the figure halted.

Of course, Rocky stopped, too. Looking around, he saw that the figure stopped near an old ancestral temple. Darkness filled the atmosphere, and there were no lights to shed illumination. Instead, the dim moon was the only source of visibility. Therefore, the whole ancestral temple looked gloomy, with some black shadows flying around it from time to time.

Meanwhile, Rocky shifted his gaze at a delicate figure that hung on a tall locust tree just in front of the ancestral temple.

After taking a good look at the figure, he found that it was no other than Queenie.

During this time, it seemed that the black figure had already gone to the back of the ancestral temple while Rocky was distracted.

However, Rocky didn't put in an effort to chase the black figure anymore. Instead, he flew in the air and pulled out the Frozen Wind Dagger to cut the rope amidst the darkness. Soon after, they fell down with Queenie wrapped around his arms.

"Queenie...Are you alright?" Rocky patted on Queenie's face to wake her up.

Soon after, Queenie snorted and finally woke up. But the minute she laid eyes on Rocky, she exclaimed nervously, "Why are you here? Tate said that Geoffrey knew about your real identity. He is sending people to go deal with you as we speak. Promise me you'll leave the capital city as soon as possible..."

"About that...Queenie, it's too late." Rocky simply smiled bitterly and helped Queenie get up. In fact, when he saved her, he also felt the fluctuating aura of people that seemed to be hiding behind the ancestral temple. So he simply shouted, "Geoffrey, you don't have to hide behind like a turtle. You can show yourself now! You kidnapped her just to lure me out, didn't you? But now, I'm here..."

"Ha-ha..." As soon as Rocky's voice trailed off, an arrogant laughter echoed.

Not long after, more than twenty figures appeared on both sides of the ancestral temple, instantly surrounding Rocky and Queenie. As a matter of fact, several of these warriors were at the Supernal Stage. Moreover, they looked familiar to Rocky because he had met them while finding the spiritual treasure. Without a doubt, these were Geoffrey's spirit manipulators.

Meanwhile, seven or eight figures walked out. In fact, one could already sense their strong aura even before they showed up because of some of the people who were above the Divine Stage.

Almost at the same time, the area in front of the ancestral temple was suddenly lit up. At that moment, more than a dozen torches were lit at the same time, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.

Soon after, Rocky locked his sight at the eight figures that were approaching him. Needless to say, Geoffrey and Tate were also there. Moreover, two peerless masters at the Divine Stage whom he met on the beast arena—Alexander and Master Sherman—were there.

But that was not all. To Rocky's surprise, Algy was also one of them along with another peerless master at the Divine Stage, and two other warriors at the Supernal Stage. In fact, Rocky was certain that he had already seen them before when they hunted the spiritual treasure.

Judging from the scene, anyone among these was enough to make it difficult for Rocky to resist. Without a doubt, Geoffrey was determined to kill him that he had brought so many powerful masters with him. At that moment, it seemed that he had overestimated Rocky.

"Geoffrey, you really put a lot of effort into killing me!" At this moment, Rocky managed to be calm as he looked at Geoffrey coldly.

But Queenie immediately became nervous as soon as she saw this. She bit her pink lips and felt a little guilty as the anxiety kicked in. She thought that if it weren't for her, then Rocky wouldn't have been trapped in a tight siege.

"Mr. Rookie. No, I mean, Prince Basil of the Holy Dragon Empire, I didn't expect that you, a great hero whose death even caused a stir in the Wild Spirit Land, just pretended to be dead and even managed to sneak into our Timber Deity Empire. Woods knew about your identity, but I can't really comprehend why he is still trying to hide it. In my opinion, you and Woods are simply conniving with each other and are up to no good. As the prince of the Timber Deity Empire, I will never let you succeed in whatever plan you are trying to do," Geoffrey said with a sinister smile on his wicked face, directly revealing Rocky's true identity.

"What are you talking about, Geoffrey? Is he really Prince Basil? But isn't he dead?" Algy was stunned after learning the truth. It turned out that this was the trump card mentioned by Geoffrey. Of course, he didn't expect that Rocky had such an astonishing identity. Rocky was also a prince. He was Prince Basil, who was a well-known hero of the Holy Dragon Empire in the Wild Spirit Land not long ago.

"You... Y...You are a prince? The prince of the Holy Dragon Empire? Is this true? How is that even possible? A bastard like you can't be a prince!" Queenie exclaimed in disbelief as she shifted her gaze to Rocky in astonishment.

"Geoffrey, I don't know what you are talking about. The idea is so delusional. How could I be the famous Prince Basil?" Rocky replied calmly with a smile. Although he was a little surprised that Geoffrey was so sure that he was Prince Basil, even if his identity had been exposed, he could at least try to go around this mess and attempt to reject the idea.

"Yeah. How could he be a prince? Geoffrey, you must have made a mistake," Queenie yelled at Geoffrey.

"Do you still want to deny it? I have solid witnesses. In fact, it's not easy to find out your identity, but I managed to do it. When you led the Crimson Dragon Group to make a splash at the Gehenna Border, many commanders of the Timber Deity Empire had seen you. In fact, most of them were Alyssa's subordinates, and Alyssa ordered them to keep it a secret. However, there are always people who don't like the fact that the princess of the Timber Deity Empire has hidden the fact that a prince of the Holy Dragon Empire has sneaked into the empire and even posed a great threat to it," Geoffrey commented. At that moment, he had already expected that Rocky would not admit it, so he waved his hand immediately.
