Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 1892

Soon enough, the news that Rocky had easily passed the test of the Heavenly Demon Tower was immediately reported to the king by a warrior that was guarding the tower.

Therefore, when Rocky and Layla arrived at the palace, they were welcomed with stares of awe coming from the elders and ministers of the royal family. Even the king could not hide his shock upon seeing that Rocky was already before him.

"Your Majesty, I have successfully gone through all the floors of the Heavenly Demon Tower. Now, as we have discussed, please entrust me with the task of protecting the Purgatorial Tripod," Rocky said directly right after saluting to the king.

"I actually did not expect you to pass through the Heavenly Demon Tower at all, but it seemed that I underestimated your real strength," the king remarked. He was well aware that anyone who could complete the test of the Heavenly Demon Tower should at least have a strength equivalent to the premium stage of the Shura Realm. When he talked with Zain previously, his son mentioned that Rocky had been hiding his real strength all along, and he even possessed a divine treasure. In fact, the king did not really believe it until now.

The main reason why he asked Rocky to do this task was to test if he really possessed that kind of strength. Now that he had witnessed this with his own eyes, the king even assumed that Rocky was the strongest among the Godly Geniuses. But it seemed that Rocky was deliberately hiding his real strength so that the other fiefs would not find out about it.

"Your Majesty, he has done what you have asked him. Please honor the agreement," Layla immediately expressed her support to Rocky, fearing that the king would come up with another idea to make things more difficult for them.

"Of course, I will. You have successfully come out of the Heavenly Demon Tower, so I can be reassured that you can guard the Purgatorial Tripod. However, this is only temporary. The moment that we settle the matter regarding Enoch, I expect that you will return the tripod so that it can be sealed again," the king demanded firmly.

"I understand," Rocky immediately agreed. In fact, it should not be a big deal right now since he knew that Phillip's soul wasn't really sealed in the Purgatorial Tripod. But of course, he could not let anyone know about this secret. Otherwise, it would just create much bigger chaos and panic.

"All right. You are free to leave now," the king declared, waving his hand to dismiss them.

Afterward, Rocky and Layla left the palace.

"So, what are you doing now? Are you going back to Leader Gilbert's mansion?" Layla asked with hints of reluctance in her voice. Rocky had only stayed in her palace for a few days, but she had enjoyed their time together. Although they did not really spend much time talking to each other, Layla still got to know Rocky in a better sense.

"Hmm. I have to visit the Genie Fief first before I go back to the Ghost Fief." "The Genie Fief?

What are you going to do there?" Layla asked with furrowed brows.

"Well, I'll just tell you when I successfully finished my business there," Rocky replied with a faint smile, deliberately keeping Layla in suspense.

Then, he summoned Rubygon and left the Royal Land while Layla sent him off.

Just as Rocky said, he went straight to the Genie Fief to visit Adrian and prove his commitment.

According to their plan, even before the mission at the Ghostly Demon Land, Adrian pretended to swear his loyalty to Zain. With this, Rocky could have a chance to split the prince's forces from the inside.

After two days of traveling, Rocky finally arrived at Adrian's mansion. However, instead of paying a public visit, Rocky sneaked into the mansion so that no one would see him.

With Rocky's stealthy skills, he was able to reach Adrian's study without anyone noticing him. There, he saw the leader reading some documents.

As he entered the study, Adrian was obviously surprised by Rocky's sudden visit. Since he knew that the young man's purpose for coming was pretty important, Adrian immediately ordered his men to shut the mansion so that he and Rocky could talk in private.

"Congratulations, Odin! I heard all of your great contributions when the king asked the candidates to enter the Ghostly Demon Land." Based on what Adrian just said, Rocky assumed that the news about him obtaining the Purgatorial Tripod had already reached throughout the nine fiefs.

"Thank you. But I have to say that I have doubts whether this is a good thing or not…" Rocky said wryly.

"You kind of lost me. What do you mean?" Adrian asked out of curiosity.

"I'm sure that you also heard that I brought out the holy treasure that sealed Phillip's soul. Am I right?" Rocky openly asked, knowing that this piece of information must have been spread out already.

"Yes, I heard. But according to the reports, you only had to do it because of Prince Enoch's collusion with the demonic race. Don't worry. I'm not someone who will judge you without being objective."
