The Medallion

Chapter 79 An Astonishing Decision (Part Two)

Compared with what he looked like two months ago, Rocky had changed a lot in temperament. When he put on the ornate robe, he had a more intimidating appearance than he did before. Born with fine features, his face was more handsome and noticeable. All in all, Rocky was no longer his old self that was too frail to withstand a gust of wind.

When Rocky stood before Lena and Mia with his new image, they watched him with the utmost admiration. Lena couldn't help but blush as she was deeply attracted.

"Let's go," Mia said as she went out first.

Rocky walked towards Lena and they followed Mia.

They climbed the carriage waiting outside. It dashed forward the entire way. Shortly afterwards, they arrived at the Grand Holy Hall.

For the very first time, Rocky entered the Grand Holy Hall. He was stunned by the grandeur of the hall. Even in the modern world where he came from, no architecture could come close to it.

Presently, many people were gathered in the Grand Holy Hall.

The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire sat on the gilded throne at the top of the hall with Priest Dean standing beside him.

On both sides of the hall stood a lot of people. The first row were the princes of the Holy Dragon Empire led by Alston. Since Rocky walked in, many princes focused their eyes on him. Instead of being friendly, they held Rocky in contempt with overwhelming arrogance.

As for Alston, who always treated Rocky as his enemy, he wrathfully glared at Rocky as his face was sullen.

Not intimidated by Alston's provocation, Rocky wore a sneer on his face and stared straight into Alston's eyes.

Apart from the princes, everyone else in the hall were the ministers of military affairs. Their eyes also rested on Rocky as they whispered into one another's ears about him. All of them were still astonished by Rocky's victory at the Dragon Birth Festival.

None of them had ever expected that the useless prince would turn himself into an invincible talent of the younger generation of the Holy Dragon Empire. Thus, now that Rocky was no longer the despised prince, they finally saw him in a different light.

When Rocky, Mia, and Lena appeared before the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire, Mia stepped aside. Lena, nodding at Rocky, walked a few steps forward to salute to the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire. She then settled down on the seat at one side, lower than the gilded throne, which demonstrated her status towering above the rest. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

"Your Majesty, Basil is here to show my respects to you..." On their way to the Grand Holy Hall, Lena had reminded him repeatedly about the etiquette so that Rocky would bow down to salute the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire properly. Though for him, the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire was a total stranger, from other people's perspectives, the man sitting up high in the leading position was his father, the greatest man in the Holy Dragon Empire.

"You can get up." The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire kept his countenance and waved his hand. He then asked Rocky, "How are your wounds?"

"They have been healed," Rocky replied as he shook his head.

Filled with comfort, the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire nodded. After that, he looked around the crowd and said, "I gather you all here to announce two things. But before that, I would like to reward Basil in the name of the Holy Dragon Empire. He saved us from the critical situation by defeating

several new phoenix spirit manipulators. As if that wasn't enough, he defeated one of his opponents who was at the ninth grade of the Heavenly Stage. He launched bitter attacks against the phoenix spirit manipulators from the Magic Phoenix Empire until he finally won for us. Thus, more than the fight, he also won honor for the Holy Dragon Empire. As the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire, it's my duty to show him our gratitude." Finishing his words, the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire signaled that he was done by nodding.

A few moments later, several maids walked in holding a few plates. The crowd was stunned by the things on the plates.

There were two very valuable yellow spiritual crystals, some precious spiritual medicine, and furthermore, a cloak which was exclusive to the elites among the royal spirit manipulators of the Holy Dragon Empire.

The cloak wasn't allowed to be given to just anybody. In other words, only the royal spirit manipulators who rendered outstanding service or made great contributions to the Holy Dragon Empire could have it. If Rocky put on this cloak and walked out, everyone would show him their utmost respect.

All the people present couldn't help but feel jealous towards Rocky, especially the princes. They felt some sort of mental unbalance with what Rocky obtained for his outstanding behavior at the Dragon Birth Festival.

However, none of them dared to say a word against the decision of the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire.

Rocky's eyes lit up for he was given so many priceless things. Overwhelmed by an unexpected favor, he said, "Your Majesty, I could never thank you enough. I'd like to take them all."

The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire then waved his hand to ask the maids to leave the hall.

"Next, I shall announce the first important thing..." The eyes of the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire ran down. After pausing for a moment, he said, "Given the extraordinary performance at the Dragon Birth Festival and the successful fusion with the Holy Dragon Bead, Rocky has successfully become a royal spirit manipulator at the Earthly Stage. So today, I decide to restore his identity as a prince of the Holy Dragon Empire,"

the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire said. His decision caught everyone off guard.
