The Medallion
Chapter 1636 Negotiation With The Chief

"Chief, I don't quite understand what you mean..." Rocky said, looking up at the Chief of the Di Clan with hesitation in his eyes.

"Now that the battle between the human race and the spiritual race is almost over and our human race is at a disadvantage, it's time for the Di Clan to come forward and bring back our human race's sense of peace. Although our clan has several talented people in it, no one is capable enough to lead the human race to victory. This is why we have been looking for the Army-blessing Scroll this whole time. We want to use it to fight against the spiritual race. Now that you have fused with the Army-blessing Scroll, I'm afraid that the responsibility falls onto you. If you are willing to take on this task, our clan will try our best to assist you..." the Chief of the Di Clan explained.

"So, you're saying that you want me to use the power of the Army-blessing Scroll to lead the human army to victory?" Rocky repeated even though he was pretty certain that he already understood.

"Exactly. And our clan will reward you handsomely if you help us. As long as you agree to our terms, you can request anything you want. Our clan will try our best to fulfill it no matter what the cost is..." The Chief's words were enough to show Rocky how much he wanted to save the human race from the oncoming disaster.

"Because you are so sincere, I will return the favor. I promise that I will try my best to use the power of the Army-blessing Scroll to help the human race resist the spiritual race. My own condition is very simple. After the spiritual race is defeated, I will need the human race to help escort me and my companions to the door built by the Shura Race so we can return to our original world..." Rocky tried not to hesitate as he stated his term. He knew that they would expose their identities as aliens, but if they could get the help of the human race and the Di Clan, they would have a better chance of returning to their original world "If you want to travel to the door that leads to your original world, that must mean..." the Chief trailed off. He was a wise man. He had already guessed what Rocky's true identity was. A look of surprise shrouded his face.

The other elders also exchanged looks of shock.

"I'm a human from a different world. I traveled here to save my companions who were captured by the Shura Race and brought to your world. But while I was coming here, I lost my divine power and I have been unable to recover it. Therefore, I can't rely on my own strength to lead them to the door and back to our original world..." Rocky explained.

"It sounds like this was fated. I think the Army-blessing Scroll came to you for a reason. We have always believed in karma. What goes around comes around. In your eyes, you came to our world to save your companions, but in fact, you were brought here to save our human race. It can't just be coincidental!" the Chief exclaimed, letting out a sigh of relief.

"You mean..." Rocky began. His eyebrows furrowed.

"I agree with your condition. If you help the human race defeat the spiritual race and bring the peace back to us, our clan will do our best to escort you and your companions to the door. But I can't guarantee whether you can go back to your original world or not. After all, a door to an alien world isn't easy to open!" the Chief continued in a serious voice.

"No problem. I will figure that out on my own." Rocky nodded.

"Well, you've had a long journey. Why don't you spend a few days in our mansion and let us look after you?" the Chief offered.

"No, thanks. I have an appointment with my companions that I must fulfill. I can't make them wait," Rocky replied, waving his hand.

"Then I won't force you to stay." Turning to Eunice, the Chief said, "Eunice, you can go with him. Once you return to the army, take him to see your uncle Colton. I will ask him to arrange everything!" "All right, Chief." Eunice quickly nodded. The fact was, her task had been completed and there was no need for her to follow Rocky anymore. However, in her heart, she did not want to be separated from him. "Are you sure you want to go with me?" Rocky asked, turning to face Eunice. She had been risking her life to help him for such a long time, and she had spent so much time and energy on replaceing the Army- blessing Scroll. The moment she got back home, she was being asked to leave with him again. Rocky felt a little uneasy.

"My Chief has ordered it. Of course I will do it. Let's go!" Eunice was thinking of other reasons in her mind, but she didn't say them. Then, she bowed to the Chief and the elders and left with Rocky. "Chief, are you really going to put the future of the human race in the hands of a guy from an alien world?" an elder of the Di Clan asked in a serious tone after Rocky and Eunice had gone.

"Before I saw him, I wasn't planning on it. But when I heard that he came here to save his companions, I changed my mind. As you all know, the door that the Shura Race built is not easy to pass through. It car only be done by someone who has reached the top level of the Shura Realm, which means that his strength is higher than that. He said he lost his strength when he passed through the door, but that should be temporary. If he can fully recover, he will achieve things beyond our wildest imaginations. Plus, he merged with the Army-blessing Scroll. Just as I said, all of this is not a coincidence! He might be the only hope that the human race has..." the Chief said firmly.

After leaving the hall, Rocky and Eunice arrived at an open space. They prepared to call forth the Purple-flaming Phoenix and leave the Di Clan.

"I thought that you finished your task. You should have asked the Chief to send someone else with me so that you could stay home and rest," Rocky said thoughtfully.

"It's his order. I don't have the right to negotiate it or reject him!" Eunice curled her lips. The truth was that she could have negotiated with the Chief. In fact, if she had asked to stay, the Chief would have agreed, but she didn't want to.

"By the way, what's your uncle's position in the army? Is he one of the army-leading commanders?" Rocky asked, changing the subject.

"My uncle is the current general of the human race. His name is Colton Di and he is the third son of our Chief," Eunice replied casually.

"Wait. That means that you're a noble lady of the Di Clan!" Rocky exclaimed, spinning to face Eunice with wide eyes. He had spent so much time with her and he had never thought that she came from such a high background.

"Sort of. I'm an illegitimate daughter, so I've been alienated from the Di Clan since I was a child. After I grew up, I volunteered to carry out missions outside our mansion in order to win back some respect. This time, I was lucky enough to retrieve the Army-blessing Scroll. Now, I'm more important in the eyes of the elders. If I can help you save the human race, I will gain so much respect. It will make me so happy!" Eunice explained, looking at Rocky with hope glimmering in her eyes.☐☐☐☐☐
