Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 1822

"All right. To tell you the truth, I am here to see Princess Layla." Left with no other choice, Rocky had to tell the real reason for coming here.

"Oh, I see. You should have told me that earlier! I'm sorry for being rude." Soon after the lady heard what Rocky said, her attitude suddenly changed. However, Rocky could still notice that her eyes were fixed on him as if she was fully assessing him.

"May I also ask who you are, miss?" Since he had already revealed his purpose, Rocky thought of asking who this young lady was. Based on her appearance and aura, he could tell that she must have something to do with the princess.

"Me? I'm one of her friends. What about you? Why are you coming here to see her?"

"I am Odin, the Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief," Rocky answered honestly.

"Oh, yeah. I heard that she is expecting you to visit today. But where is Leader Gilbert?" In fact, this beautiful lady was actually Layla. However, she did not want to reveal her true identity yet because she wanted to test Rocky for a bit.

"He left a while ago, saying that he'll visit an old friend. But he should already be back soon enough," Rocky replied.

"Then, come with me first. I'll take you to Princess Layla. Leader Gilbert could just follow afterward." After saying that, Layla immediately dispersed the petals that were still trapping Rocky.

Rocky just nodded to her and followed until they got out of the garden and entered the inner hall of the palace.

However, upon entering the spacious hall, Rocky thought that it was a bit strange. There was not a single piece of furnishing and it was very empty. The only thing they could see there was a golden spiritual stone in the center of the hall, which exuded a holy and gentle aura.

"Miss, where exactly are we?" Feeling a little strange about the place, Rocky decided to ask the lady with him. However, as he turned, he noticed that she had already disappeared.

Of course, Rocky immediately became wary. Thinking that it might be a trap, he wanted to get out of there to avoid any danger. However, the moment he tried to get out, he was instantly bounced back by an enchanted barrier that surrounded the hall. It was not until then that he realized that the lady with him was actually the one who tricked him.

"Miss, what is happening? This isn't what you told me earlier," Rocky shouted, knowing that the beautiful lady was still watching him from somewhere.

"Well, I've heard that the Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief should be good in both martial arts and critical thinking. The princess actually ordered me to test your abilities, so please bear with it. By the way, this is her cultivation hall. In order to prevent outsiders from disturbing her, she put a powerful enchanted barrier around this building. Now, if you can break through it, the princess will recognize you. Good luck!" Layla's voice resounded, but Rocky could not pinpoint where it was coming from.

"Hmm, is there any restrictions? Like things that I am not allowed to do during the process?" Rocky asked rather calmly. He already had a lot of experience dealing with enchanted barriers, so he was confident that he could break out from it.

"Not really. You can do whatever you want. As long as you can come out, it's fine. But I don't think you can get out of there too soon. So, I can't stay here with you. After you break the barrier, come to the guest hall. The princess will be waiting for you there."

Soon enough, Rocky felt that the lady's aura eventually disappeared.

"An enchanted barrier, huh? If it is made by a member of the royal family, then it should be about the same level as the one I encountered in the Holy Heaven Palace." Wasting no time, Rocky immediately employed his skill to closely examine the enchanted barrier around him.

Meanwhile, after visiting his old friend, Gilbert finally returned to Layla's palace. However, upon entering the guest hall, he did not see Rocky there. He thought that the young man must have gone out, so he tried to search for him.

But just as he was about to go out, a graceful figure suddenly entered, running into Gilbert, who was about to find Rocky.

"Oh, Your Highness! I see that you have already come back." Seeing that it was actually Layla, Gilbert immediately bowed and cupped his hands towards her.

"Leader Gilbert! Where are you going?" Layla asked with a smile, although she already knew where he might be headed.
