Chapter 1822 He Was Telling The Truth


    "All right. To tell you the truth, I am here to see Princess La." Left with no other choice, Rocky had to


    tell the real reason foring here.


    "Oh, I see. You should have told me that earlier! I''m sorry for being rude." Soon after thedy 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 youngdy 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 youing 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


    beautifuldy was actually La. 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,e with me first. I''ll take you to Princess La. Leader Gilbert could just follow afterward."


    After saying that, La 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


    pce.


    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 ce, Rocky decided to ask thedy


    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 thedy 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


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    beautifuldy 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!" La''s voice resounded, but Rocky could not pinpoint where it wasing 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 cane 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,e to the


    guest hall. The princess will be waiting for you there."


    Soon enough, Rocky felt that thedy''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 Pce." 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 La''s pce. 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 alreadye back." Seeing that it was actually La, Gilbert


    immediately bowed and cupped his hands towards her.


    "Leader Gilbert! Where are you going?" La asked with a smile, although she already knew where he


    might be headed.


    "We have actually arrived a bit earlier, but I had to leave for a while. I asked Odin, that is our Godly


    Genius, to wait for you toe back, but when I returned, he was not here. It seemed that he roamed


    around somewhere, so I was about to look for him," Gilbert replied.


    "Oh, Odin? There''s no need to look for him. He''s currently inside my cultivation hall."


    "Your cultivation hall? Why?" Gilbert was confused at what he heard. He did not understand why Rocky


    woulde to that ce by himself.


    "Don''t worry. I apanied him there to give him a small test. I just wanted to see if he really is as


    extraordinary as you imed him to be," La exined in a cheerful tone.


    Upon hearing this, Gilbert could not help but swallow. He was well aware that Rocky might suffer a lot if


    La was indeed serious in testing his abilities. After all, she was an expert in setting high-level barrier


    techniques and was unmatched even in the royal family. In fact, only a few strong warriors could break


    her enchanted barriers.


    Afterward, La sat on the main chair in front of the guest hall and also motioned Gilbert to take a seat.


    When both of them had finally sat down, La then said, "Have you thought of my proposal already?"


    "Yes. After discussing it with several elders and Odin, we havee up to an agreement that the


    Ghost Fief will wholeheartedly support you to be the next leader of the royal family," Gilbert told


    her bluntly.


    "Thank you. I really appreciate it." La heaved a deep sigh, very much relieved at Gilbert''s response.


    "You must have known that the Ghost Fief is allied with the Flower Fief. Hence, I will also try my best to


    persuade them into supporting you. In fact, you can already consider it done. However, I''m afraid that


    even with the two fiefs, it won''t be enough to contend against Prince Zain''s influence," Gilbert added


    without sugarcoating anything.


    "I know. I also have the same concerns, so I have already sent some of my men to persuade the other


    fief leaders. At this point, I am aware that my chances of seeding are still low, but I cannot back out


    now. I will still try until thest moment," La uttered with conviction.


    "By the way, you must have already heard that Prince Zain is sending the troops of the Shura Race to


    invade the territories of the human race and spiritual race." Gilbert opened up another topic.


    "Yes, I am aware. Of course, he did this to strengthen his position. Previously, the royal family tried


    every means to make the human race and the spiritual race turn to each other while pulling the strings


    from behind. This way, they thought that they could benefit from it. But surprisingly, the spiritual race


    was defeated by the human race, and the ploy of the royal family was thwarted. This even led to the


    alliance of the two races to fight back against our race. It was really inexplicable. Whoever was leading


    the human race that time must be a genius," La remarked.


    "The truth is I am also responsible for that matter. Under themand of the royal family, I sent


    someone to the alien worlds to capture some elites and bring them back here in our world. Moreover, I


    sent some spies into the human race and the spiritual race to sow the seed of dissension. However, I


    did not expect that the elites from the alien worlds could escape. After that, they stirred up trouble and


    eventually ruined my n. They even managed to kill one of my trusted men, making me lose such a


    capable assistant," Gilbert recounted, admitting his guilt.


    "In my opinion, this is not really your fault. The current royal family is being too impatient and greedy.


    Everyone knows that the existence of the human race and the spiritual race is the main reason why the


    continent can maintain its bnce. If we try to destroy them, we will suffer the consequences that the


    naturalw will bring upon us. Since my mother retired, the royal family has been trying to conquer the


    entire continent over and over again. They were too determined to drive out both the human race and


    the spiritual race, defying the will of the gods." La could not help but let out a frown as her


    resentment towards the current royal family surfaced.


    "That is true. However, we are still bound to obey the order of the royal family. We cannot go against


    their wishes..." Gilbert sighed in helplessness. If it was not really for themand of the royal family,


    he did not want to cause trouble to the human race and spiritual race.


    "That is the exact reason why I need to regain the position as the queen of the Shura Race. I will be


    sure to inherit my mother''s will and lead the entire race to prosperity once again. I shall end the current


    royal family''s wicked ways!" La dered firmly.


    "Your mother helped my n once. Now, it is my turn to repay that kindness. Rest assured, I will do


    whatever I can to help you." Gilbert expressed his heartfelt support.


    "Thank you. I am so relieved to hear that..." La let out a huge smile, satisfied that there were still


    people who were loyal to her and to the principles that she was fighting for.


    "I see that you were already having a pleasant conversation with Leader Gilbert, miss." Out of


    nowhere, a figure suddenly came inside the hall. The moment he spoke, La''s eyes widened and


    were instantly fixed at him.


    "Odin? I thought you were in the princess'' cultivation hall?" Gilbert was also stunned upon seeing that it


    was actually Rocky who came in. He did not expect that he would break through La''s enchanted


    barrier so soon. Moreover, he was confused that Rocky was addressing the princess as if he already


    knew her.


    However, Rocky already had a hunch that thedy he met earlier was actually Princess La herself.


    He was just going along with La''s act and was waiting for her to reveal her true identity.
