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.

believe you!" Marcia exclaimed, her voice rising in pitch at every interval. She refused to believe whatever Laney said. Rocky was dead! They even held a tribute for him. Why did this woman come all the way here to tell her a poorly thought-out lie like that? What was she, and more importantly, her

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 this beautiful girl knew
