The Medallion novel Chapter 1668

"Leader, are you really sure that you will allow the Godly Genius to be under Esteban's care? Even you know that he is famous for his unsociable character. I'm afraid that if Odin had somehow offended him, something bad might happen to the Godly Genius!" an elder said, expressing his worries.

"No need to worry. Esteban should know what he is doing. He has been in the Ghost Capital for a long time, and he had never accepted a disciple even once. It just means that there is indeed something special with the Godly Genius." From Gilbert's words, one could see that he had the utmost confidence towards Esteban.

On their way back to the Ghost Palace, Rocky had been constantly nagged by Esteban. He deeply regretted letting Rocky go with him. As a result, they were in big trouble.

It was not actually a bad thing that Rocky was chosen to be the Godly Genius. However, his real identity would cause a lot of trouble once it was leaked out.

"Is it possible the deity did not find out your real identity? Well, it would be strange that she gave her divine power to you if she knew who you are." Esteban was extremely baffled. Logically speaking, with the deity's power, it should be easy for her to find out Rocky's identity. Moreover, according to the tradition, all of the Godly Geniuses should have come from the Shura Race. There had been no precedent that a human or a member of the spiritual race had been chosen as the Godly Genius.

"That's impossible." Rocky shrugged with a smile on his face.

"Well, then, you mean she didn't punish you even she knew who you are!" Esteban added.

"Yes. She even tried her best to persuade me into accepting her divine power. Actually, I was not willing to do it at first. However, she laid some tempting conditions, so I eventually agreed," Rocky answered bluntly.

"What? Are you kidding me?" Esteban could not believe what Rocky said. He could not help but question what was going on in the deity's mind.

"I am telling the truth. There is no merit for me to lie about this," Rocky said with a straight face.

"So, did you see what the deity looked like?" Esteban asked out of curiosity.

"Nope. I just heard her voice," Rocky replied as he shook his head.

"I see. Then—" Esteban still wanted to ask him about a few more things, but Rocky immediately interrupted him. "Hey, old man. When did you become so talkative? It's not like you."

"Can you blame me? I just want to make sure that you won't cause any trouble and disturb my peaceful life," Esteban replied with a deep sigh.

"Oh, yeah. I forgot to tell you something. I don't think you will be able to have some peace in the following days," Rocky said with a playful smirk on his face.

"What did you say?!" Esteban could not help but exclaim. Of course, this was the last thing that he wanted to happen, but it was inevitable.

Just as Rocky had predicted, the Ghost Palace became packed with people and vehicles in the next few days. Every day, all kinds of powerful people from the Ghost Capital would visit or send their gifts.

In fact, just a few days after, almost half of the palace was filled with presents.

After a few more days, Esteban was almost about to lose his temper. "This is so annoying! Many people come in and out every day. I don't have the time to focus on my research anymore! Damn it. They are forcing me to seal the Ghost Palace again," he grumbled.

"I actually don't mind," Rocky said indifferently.

However, just when Esteban was about to put a seal outside the palace, Gilbert came along with several of his men.

"Leader? What brought you here?" As soon as he saw Gilbert, Esteban calmed down and immediately let them in.

"I am actually here for the Godly Genius," Gilbert said as he looked at Rocky, who was standing behind Esteban.

"Oh? You don't have to come here. He can just go to your mansion whenever you need him," Esteban answered.

"Well, I happened to be on an inspection nearby, so I already thought of coming here. Besides, I also came to ask for some medicine for my sister. Although she was already saved and detoxified from the poison, she is still very weak. I want to ask for some medicine that will help her recover quickly," Gilbert explained.

"All right then." Seeing that Rocky was persistent on staying at the Ghost Palace, Gilbert did not insist anymore.

At the same time, Esteban had come back at the gate, carrying the medicine that he would give to Gilbert.

"Okay then. I shall take my leave now." Gilbert took the medicine and eventually left with his servants.

"What were you talking about just now?" Esteban asked as soon as Gilbert and the others had left the palace.

"Nothing. He just asked me if I wanted to move to the Godly Genius Palace," Rocky replied casually.

"So, what did you say?" Esteban asked again.

"Of course, I refused," Rocky said firmly.

"Good. You are indeed smart. Currently, there is no place more suitable to hide your identity than the Ghost Palace," Esteban said with a sigh of relief.

Then, since Gilbert had already given the order that prevented outsiders from coming to the Ghost Palace, life became quiet again for Rocky who stayed behind in the palace.

Meanwhile, it turned out that the Godly Geniuses from the other eight fiefs were all much stronger and high-profile than Rocky. Just a few days after they got selected, their names spread around along with their past glories.

Before these geniuses were even chosen, they were already top warriors in their respective territories. Some of them were already powerful warriors, while some were rising stars. Therefore, this batch of Godly Geniuses was really worth the hype.

However, no one really heard about Rocky. The only thing he was known for was that he was Esteban's disciple. Moreover, no one knew that Esteban had such a disciple before, so many people were actually looking down upon the Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief.
