Chapter 484: Things Go Wrong (1/2)

The water in the pond turned into fist-sized water droplets and floated in the air. There was almost no presence of arcane power from them.

The ground below the pond suddenly opened up and revealed a hidden passage.

“Bloodline arcane power seal?”

“What did Clan Chinyu hide in there?”

Rinloran, Ferguillo and Meraly glanced at each other.

It was clearly a secret seal that could only be unsealed by a special combination of blood and arcane power.

“Follow me!”

Shanna ran down the passage without any hesitation.

Everyone followed behind.

In mere seconds, the passage closed up and the water droplets fell back into the pond. The pond returned to normal. No arcane energy fluctuations could be felt.

“This is......?”

Meraly’s eyes opened wide.

It was a secret chamber of just twenty to thirty square meters right underneath the pond. As they had gotten used to the huge and majestic halls, suddenly squeezing into a small chamber caused them to feel a little packed.

At the center of the secret chamber laid a dark green gem the size of a table. A pale green scepter was stabbed into the gem.

That scepter looked like a pale green vine with a fist-sized pale green gem embedded on the tip. The other end of the scepter seemed to have taken root in the dark green gem.

Behind the scepter, there was a golden grail containing a pale green liquid.

Shanna turned around and told Stingham without any explanation, “Go, take the scepter!”

“......”

Stingham’s expression was strange. He kept making gestures.

“What are you doing!? Speak!” A few veins popped up on Shanna’s temple.

“You told me not to talk!”

Stingham heaved out a breath, “I think this place is weird. Don’t tell me you purposely deceived me into coming here to get me to do something?”

“This is the Green Dragon Scepter! It will tell us if you truly are the Green Dragon Prince!” Shanna gritted her teeth and shouted, “Quick! The enemy might have tracked our presence already. Stop wasting time!”

“Really?” Stingham looked at the scepter and asked, “Is it mine if I take it?”

Shanna’s eyes gained an undetectable mysterious light.

“Yes.” She nodded, “If you are really the Green Dragon Prince, it is yours.”

“Great!”

Stingham’s eyes beamed. Before anyone realized it, he had jumped onto the dark green gem and pulled out the green scepter.

“This scepter is quite heavy. The gem is so big. It looks powerful!”

Stingham asked Shanna and the other six Chinyu arcane masters while swinging the green scepter with glee, “What’s the use of the scepter? Is it an amplification device? Do I just have to inject arcane particles?”

Shanna and the six Chinyu arcane masters were petrified from the scene.

“What’s wrong?”

Stingham played around with the scepters for a while before he finally noticed Shanna and the six Chinyu arcane masters looking at him with an extremely stiff expression.

Suddenly, Shanna knelt down, followed by the six Chinyu arcane masters. They pledged to Stingham, “Clan Chinyu will carry out its duty and obey the King.”

“What do you mean?” Stingham was dumbfounded.

“He really is the Green Dragon Prince?” Meraly was also dumbfounded. She did not understand what happened.

“The dark green gem under the Green Dragon Scepter is the Baptism Gem. It is an extremely powerful seal. Only someone with the high Green Dragon bloodline that has received the true Divine Temple inheritance, in other words the true Green Dragon royalty, can pull out the Green Dragon Scepter.”

Shanna stood up and continued, “No one else can pull it out. Even if the person possesses strength exceeding the Baptism Gem and forcefully removes the seal, it will only destroy both the Green Dragon Scepter and the Baptism Gem.”

“Really?”

Stingham was dumbfounded. He tried sticking the Green Dragon Scepter back into the gem and pulled it out again. He repeated that action numerous times, “I pull, I stick. Look, it doesn’t show any response! Did the Baptism Gem malfunction?”

“Idiot!”

Meraly was speechless.

She felt great sympathy towards Shanna’s group.

This kind of idiot is really the Green Dragon Prince?

These powerful Chinyu arcane masters who will even risk their lives have to protect such an idiot!

If I were from Clan Chinyu and realized the person I must protect is such an idiot, I would also feel frustrated.

Suddenly, Stingham remembered something and asked Shanna, “Oh right, what are you scheming? Why did you call me King just now?”

“If the King were still the old King, the Green Dragon Divine Temple would never have been taken over by evil so openly.” Shanna coldly spoke.

“Are you saying the current King is no longer the old King, or that he was manipulated by the Evil Dragon followers, or that he perhaps even became an Evil Dragon follower for the Evil Dragon bloodline?” Rinloran’s asked with a cold gaze.

Shanna nodded.

She felt heartbroken, and was frustrated in her heart just as Meraly imagined.

Stingham is the sole hope of the Green Dragon Divine Temple and the Kingdom of Doa, the King.

But why must he be such an idiotic and unreliable guy?

Even if it were Rinloran or Ferguillo, even that battle maniac Ayrin would have been better!
