The Medallion novel Chapter 1286

"It took me a lot of effort to get this colored pearl for you. How are you going to thank me?" Alyssa asked with a soft smile on her face.

"Let me think. How about I marry you?" Rocky playfully teased.

"Oh, you wish." Alyssa put on a lovely smile, but then she suddenly became serious and added, "After their rebirth, the calamity beasts will surely harm the life in all of the countries built by humans. I heard the news that a pestilence broke out on the Holy Dragon Empire's border. Many said that the infected people would become horrifying corpses."

"Yes, that's right. The situation is really not good right now." Rocky nodded in agreement. His playfulness earlier was gone now.

"The situation of the Timber Deity Empire is also not good now. Many rivers have become dry because of the power of the calamity beasts. And besides that, it hasn't rained for a month already. Thousands of people are starving to death..." Alyssa deeply sighed. She was extremely worried about their situation

"Tell me, is there anything I can do for you?" Rocky asked seriously.

"No, it's alright. You can't offer help to those who are far away from you anyway. By the way, where are the others?" Alyssa felt strange when she saw that Rocky was alone. He was always surrounded by so many women on a normal day.

"I asked Sabina and the others to do something for me. Meanwhile, Isis and Nigel have returned to the Imperial City. So, I'm the only one left here now," Rocky briefly replied.

"I want to stay with you for a few days, but my brother asked me to go back to the Timber Deity Empire right away. It's such a pity," Alyssa said with regret. It was a rare opportunity to be completely alone with Rocky, but she had no other choice. There were a lot of things waiting for her to deal with in the Timber Deity Empire.

"There will surely be another chance in the future." Rocky faintly smiled.

"But I can stay here for a couple of hours."

Rocky had already collected eight of the colored pearls including the one sent by Alyssa, so there was only one left. He planned to go back to the Imperial City first and ask the emperor about the previous clues left by the Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire. He desperately wanted to find out the whereabouts of the last colored pearl.

After making some arrangements, Rocky finally returned to the Imperial City. He headed first to General Lance's mansion to go see Isis, her son, and Sue. After that, he went to the Palace City to meet his father.

The health of his father was getting worse and worse each day. He remained in bed almost every day and that worried Rocky. However, as soon as the emperor saw that Rocky already came back, his face immediately became cheerful and a huge smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

"Father, take this bottle of magical saliva. This might help you later." Rocky's heart sank when he saw his father. He immediately took out a bottle of magical saliva from his pocket and handed it to him.

"No, thanks, my son. I've already accepted that my body can never recover no matter what kind of magical pills or potion I take," the emperor said as he pushed the bottle back and shook his head.

Rocky deeply frowned at this.

"By the way, you have something important to deal with this time, correct?" the emperor directly asked. He knew that Rocky was busy dealing with a lot of things. Not too long ago, he had solved a crisis in the Holy Dragon Empire.

"I've already found the eighth colored pearl," Rocky immediately said as he took out the wooden box that Alyssa gave him.

"Oh, really? That's excellent news," the emperor excitedly said.

"So, Father, I came back to ask you if I can find where the ninth colored pearl is based on the clues previously left by the Witch," Rocky bluntly said.

"The places related to the clues left by that Witch have already been searched thoroughly. I'm afraid it's exceedingly difficult to find the ninth one," the emperor seriously said.
