The Medallion Chapter 77 Peaceful Time

Amidst the cheers ringing out for Rocky, he suddenly fell hard on the ground. It was apparent that he
had been hurt badly. The reason for his suffering was because of the powerful strength that was far
beyond his abilities. Everyone grew quite concerned at the sight of him losing consciousness.

"Basil!" Mia shouted out at once. Before she could make a move, Marcia had already run forward
towards Rocky.

"Basil, well done!" She examined him to find whether there could be anything wrong as she saw that
Rocky was lying unconscious. Rocky had been hurt badly. If he didn't receive treatment in time, he
would certainly lose his life. Without thinking twice, Marcia took out a bottle of the magical saliva that
Rocky had given her before. She made Rocky drink a little of it immediately. Afterwards, she turned
around and told Mia, "Please tell His Majesty that I will bring him with me to treat him right now." Mia
nodded in agreement. Marcia then left the battlefield with Rocky.

Though Marcia left with Rocky very quickly, someone in the crowd had recognized her. Chaos broke
out once more, with everyone around the battlefield growing greatly excited again.

"I can't believe my eyes. Is it really General Marcia?"

"You're right! But how does she know Basil? Why did she take him away?"

"Perhaps General Marcia likes Basil?"

They soon seemed to forget the fact that Rocky had won the match. Their attention was diverted at the
sight of Marcia. Heated discussions broke out about how she and Rocky could be connected.
Speculations broke out about all the possibilities of their relationship.

At once, Mia went to find the emperor and Lena, even if she too had been hurt. She relayed what
Marcia had asked her to. As she expected, the emperor and others were also in the state of shock.



"Why is General Marcia willing to treat Basil out of the blue? They even don't know about each other!"
Lena was very shocked, and still greatly concerned about Basil.

"Well, General Marcia went to the dragon field about half a month ago. She ordered Basil to show her
around." But Mia also felt confused about the situation. She didn't think that they would have grown
close at all!

The emperor stood gazing at his entourage. Everyone was at a loss and didn't know what to do. They
too were greatly perplexed at why General Marcia was willing to help Rocky.

They needed to ask Marcia in order to figure the truth out. The emperor ordered Priest Dean to
continue as head of the Dragon Birth Festival and ordered the others to send Mia home to receive the
best treatment. He left the battlefield with Lena then.

As a reward, the emperor had granted Marcia a palace in the Palace City. She hardly stayed there, but
Lena and the emperor both assumed that Marcia would take Basil there first.

As expected, when they arrived at the palace, Marcia had already exited the chamber. It was obvious
that she had exerted great effort to treat Rocky, as sweat poured off her in torrents.

"General Marcia, what's the matter with Basil? Is he all right?" Lena burst out, unable to hold her
tongue any longer.

"He's out of the danger zone now. He was so reckless that he absorbed his opponent's strength and
blasted it back on his opponent again. But I have no clue how he even managed to do it! His
opponent's strength was far beyond his right then. So his body was attacked by this power in the
shifting course. His meridians have been hurt badly, too. But fortunately, his bones are strong enough
to resist the attack. It is no easy task, but he has persisted until the end and defeated his opponent at
last. Well done! All in all, he is all right now." Marcia obviously thought highly of Rocky.



"General Marcia, why do you know Basil so well?" the emperor asked, his stance finally relaxing once
he confirmed that his son was safe.

"I don't. I just thought that he was a poor fellow and decided to save his life. After all, he won the match
and brought glory for our empire. I always help some cats and dogs here and there. It's as easy as
blinking. It's no big deal!" Marcia said calmly.

If Rocky hadn't been in a coma, he would definitely have protested at Marcia's remarks likening him to
a cat or a dog.

The emperor and Lena looked at each other, surprised. They both thought that Marcia had something
else to hide. Otherwise, she would have definitely not saved Rocky in public. She had a reputation for
hardly caring about others, after all! But they were prudent enough to keep silent. They knew that if
Marcia was unwilling to tell them, they would never find out. Besides, she had shown a great gesture of
goodwill and kindness.

"Now that you are here and he's no longer in danger, I must depart." Marcia nodded at them
respectfully, and swiftly left. But what the emperor and Lena didn't notice was that Marcia couldn't help
but glance back at her chamber as she left.

The emperor and Lena went into the chamber and saw that Rocky was lying in a spacious bed
surrounded by a few maids. His face was no longer deathly pale, but he was still in a coma.

The emperor and Lena felt relieved at the sight of him sleeping safe and sound.

"Your Majesty, I will stay here to take good care of Basil. The Dragon Birth Festival is still ongoing. You
have left the battlefield for too long," Lena respectfully reminded him.

"Very well. That's very kind of you." The emperor nodded, sighing with relief.



"Your Majesty, you have said that..." Lena murmured after being lost in thought for several moments.

"Don't worry! I've been waiting for this day. It seems that he hasn't let me down," the emperor said very
contentedly, before exiting the chamber.

"You can leave now. I will stay here to look after him," Lena told the maids.

She sat beside the bed, staring at Rocky who seemed to be in deep sleep. She stretched out her hand
to touch his face tenderly, softly smiling. She said to herself, "If your mother could see with her own
eyes what you have done today, she would be so, so proud. We no longer need to worry about you all
the time now. You have grown up and become a strong man." She lay beside Rocky, closed her
beautiful eyes and enjoyed the peace and tranquility that came with an overwhelming sense of
contentment.
