The Medallion Chapter 1842 After Getting Married

"Briggs, the Blood Fief was taken back by the Ghost Fief. According to tradition, you just can't demand
Gilbert to return it to you. You can have it back by using force. However, you have to understand that
now is not the right time for that. The most important thing is to confirm that the army of the human race
has already withdrawn from the border of the Shura Race. We have to prevent them from mysteriously
appearing again while we are unprepared. We cannot let what happened to the Blood Fief be
repeated," Princess Layla said, pounding some logic into Briggs.

"Your Royal Highness, you don't need to worry about it. If the human army dares to invade the Shura
Race again, I promise to annihilate all of them. They shall pay the price of killing my father!" Briggs
answered, fueled with hatred.

"Moreover, didn't you hear the king say that the Ghostly Demon Land will open in ten days? He even
relaxed the requirements to be his successor. It means that any powerful warrior from the Shura Race
will have the chance to participate in the challenges and even become the next ruler. The matter
regarding the Blood Fief can wait, but this rare opportunity won't. Don't you agree?" Layla dangled a
more enticing bait to divert Briggs' attention.

Thinking about it, Briggs nodded and thought that the princess made a lot of sense.

"We will focus on going to the Ghostly Demon Land to fight for the position of the Shura Race's ruler.
After that, you can try to take the Blood Fief back. I suggest that everyone return to their respective
territories for now so that we can get ready for the Ghostly Demon Land," Layla urged.

"I agree. Just wait and see, Gilbert! I will get the Blood Fief back, so you better be ready for it!" After
giving Gilbert a fierce warning, Briggs stared at him one last time before leaving.

At the same time, Zain also shot a glance at Layla but said nothing. Eventually, he also left with the
leader of the Primitive Fief.



Soon enough, most of the leaders and ministers left, and only Gilbert, Flora, and Layla were left
behind.

"Whew! Finally, this whole thing is done. By the way, what is going on this time, Gilbert? Don't tell me
that you're really behind the invasion of the Blood Fief?" Although the princess was not really sure what
happened, she also could not help but speculate that the Ghost Fief had something to do with the fall of
the Blood Fief. After all, this kind of sneak attack must have been prepared in advance, and someone
from the inside of the Shura Race must have helped the human army to pull it off.

"Your Royal Highness, I don't want to be rude, but it would be better if you didn't ask too much. Rest
assured, I don't plan to occupy the Blood Fief for a long time. But for the time being, controlling the
Blood Fief is the most advantageous step for the alliance of the Ghost Fief and the Flower Fief." Of
course, Gilbert could not tell Layla about his cooperation with the human army. After all, as a member
of the Shura Race, what he did could be considered treason if others found out about it. Although Layla
was on his side, she was still from the royal family, so he couldn't risk telling her everything just yet.

"All right then. Just be careful and don't take things too far. Otherwise, you might face severe
consequences," Layla gently reminded him and then also left.

After a moment, Gilbert and Flora also left the king's palace.

"Valeria told me the plan regarding the seizing of the Blood Fief. She was actually afraid that I might
have some misgivings about it, but when I heard that it was carefully planned by Odin, I did not ask
anything more," Flora said in an indifferent tone while they walked out of the palace.

"I can see that you have already learned to trust the guy," Gilbert replied with a faint smile.

"Don't be mistaken. I trust Valeria, not him. I believe in her judgment, so if she trusts in Odin's plan,
then I have no choice but to also have faith in him. In the near future, she will inherit my position as the



leader of the Flower Fief. Therefore, I think that it might be a good experience for her to stay with him
more. But it doesn't erase the fact that I still have some doubts about that guy," Flora said bluntly.

"I can understand what you are trying to say. After all, I also went through that phase. I had lots of
doubts about him before. He is too smart and cunning for his age that most times, I can't help but be
suspicious of his intentions. However, later on, I realized that even a person like me, who has
experienced ups and downs, could somehow misjudge a person," Gilbert replied, letting out a bitter
smile.

"I hear you. I am not worried about Odin's abilities at all. However, his way of doing things is quite
bothersome. As you said, he seems to be too experienced. It feels like he has already faced countless
bloody battles." Flora sighed while lightly shaking his head.

"I also have that same feeling at times. However, don't forget that those who are chosen as Godly
Geniuses are by no means ordinary. I just like to think that it is a good thing that he possesses that kind
of attitude and mindset. After all, if a tough person like him is on my side, we will surely achieve
victory!" Gilbert voiced out his thoughts, looking on the brighter side of things.

"Well, yeah. Let us hope so. Anyway, I am heading back to the Flower Fief now. Please continue taking
good care of Valeria for me. Also, let me thank you in advance." Afterward, Flora summoned her mount
and eventually flew away.

With that, the two leaders temporarily parted ways.

Then, as soon as Gilbert returned to the Ghost Fief, he sent someone to summon both Rocky and
Valeria. When the three of them finally met, Gilbert told them what happened during the meeting. He
informed the two that the king wanted to expand the scope of the throne's successor and that the
aspiring candidates would have to go to the Ghostly Demon Land to accept the challenges waiting
there.



Obviously, Rocky and Valeria were surprised to hear about this sudden development. They did not
expect that the king would make such a decision. It meant that in the end, even a mere Godly Genius
might end up becoming the successor.

"What kind of place is this Ghostly Demon Land?" Rocky immediately asked. Since it was his first time
hearing about the place, he was instantly intrigued by it.

"It is said that in ancient times, the Shura Continent was actually home to ghostly demons. However, in
order to expand the territory of the Shura Race, our ancestors drove those ghostly demons and their
leader, Phillip, to the edge of the continent. There, they fought Phillip and his cohorts for a hundred
days. After finally defeating them, our ancestors set up an extremely powerful enchanted barrier in the
place in order to trap Phillip. In fact, they even built a palace where they sealed Phillip's soul. That
entire area is known today as the Ghostly Demon Land," Gilbert explained as he gave a brief
introduction about the Ghostly Demon Land.

"Then, it means that that the Ghostly Demon Land is the most dangerous place in the entire continent!"
Rocky said in surprise.

"I will just reiterate something. The purpose of this training in the Ghostly Demon Land is to select the
successor of the king. Before, the candidates were only limited to Prince Zain, Princess Layla, and
Prince Enoch. However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, the king changed his mind and
expanded the list of people who can become qualified. Therefore, it is to be expected that a fierce
battle will break out once the candidates enter the Ghostly Demon Land. Before anything else, I want to
hear your ideas about this." Gilbert knew that entering the Ghostly Demon Land and participating in this
training was such a big deal. Both Rocky and Valeria were Godly Geniuses, meaning that they were
also qualified to participate. Although Gilbert wanted to help Layla gain the position, he still wanted to
be fair and give the two a chance to make their own decision about this matter.



"Sir, are you trying to ask us if we are willing to enter the Ghostly Demon Land together with Princess
Layla?" Rocky asked, instantly reading what was on Gilbert's mind.

"That's right. As you know, we have already pledged our support for her. So, now that we can also
accompany her inside the Ghostly Demon Land, we must take this opportunity to help her. However,
even if a master is already at the Shura Realm, they may still not be able to escape the danger of the
Ghostly Demon Land unscathed. Therefore, I actually plan to let one of you go with Princess Layla.
Now, who wants to do it?" Gilbert asked straightforwardly.

Hearing this, Rocky and Valeria looked at each other. "I'll go!" both of them shouted almost at the same
time.

Gilbert could not help but laugh at the response of the couple. "I didn't know that you can change a lot
right after getting married. I'm impressed how you two understand each other very well."

Of course, Valeria's face turned red immediately after she heard Gilbert's remark.
