Chapter 33 Marcia's Homecoming (Part Two)

On the other side, Marcia stood on her Celestial Snow-white Dragon, flying through the sky above the Imperial City. Her appearance caused a commotion on the ground. The streets leading from the Imperial City to the Palace City were crowded with people when they saw the dragon fly across the sky. Countless eyes were fixed at the sky. They looked at Marcia with great respect. Many of them cheered her and called out her name. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Although, Marcia had been one of the Three Great Generals for less than three years, she was skilled in literary and martial arts and made several war achievements. In addition, she was exceedingly beautiful. Her prestige in the Holy Dragon Empire was getting closer and closer to that of Bryant, who was the first general of Holy Dragon Empire. Besides, countless dignitaries, even the rich ones, had been attracted to her by her charm. They were willing to pay any price in order to be close to her, even if it was just to talk to her face to face.

Marcia had amazing brilliance and charm. However, she made it clear that no man was special to her. No one knew if it was because she had a hard-heart by nature or it was because of her high standards. In short, she had never been seen getting close or being in contact with any man.

But no one could have imagined that their goddess had just been taken advantage of by a brat.

Marcia flew into the Palace City with the eyes of the public fixed at her. She was riding her Celestial Snow-white Dragon flamboyantly. In a short time, she landed in the middle of the square, in front of the Grand Holy Hall.

The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire and others had been waiting there for her from a long time.

"Your Majesty." Marcia felt extremely flattered that the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire greeted her in person. She jumped off her Celestial Snow-white Dragon immediately and got down on one of her knees, showing her respect with a graceful bow.

"You can rise up, General Marcia." The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire waved his hand. He asked her eagerly, "General Marcia, how did the mission go?"

"Your Majesty, I will never let you down. I have in my possession the colored pearl which was hidden in the Jade Earth Mountain," Marcia said as she took out a delicate small box. After she opened it, a puff of white smoke blew out of the box. Everyone was surprised to see a colored and shining bead placed carefully in the box.

"Well done! You have done a good job, General Marcia." When the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire saw the colored pearl, he could not help praising her.

Marcia gently handed over the box to the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire.

"Your Majesty, with this colored pearl added to our collection, there are five colored pearls in our hands. The goal of finding the lost treasure of the Dragon Master Clan is not far away," Priest Dean said.

The treasure mentioned by Priest Dean used to be the holy treasure of the Dragon Master Clan. Thousands of years ago, the Dragon Master Clan lent this treasure to the Holy Dragon Empire temporarily in order to help the Holy Dragon Empire to open their own territory. It was passed down and kept safely by the Witches of the past dynasties. No one would have thought that this holy treasure would get lost in an accident a hundred years ago.

The last words of the Witch of that era were that one would know the location of the treasure of the Dragon Master Clan, only when one found the nine colored pearls which were hidden at nine different places. So, for nearly a hundred years, the Holy Dragon Empire had been determined to search for any clue which was related to the treasure. They decided that once they found the location of the treasure, they would send the most powerful royal spirit manipulator to retrieve the treasure secretly. They needed to retrieve the treasure secretly because if the other spiritual races knew that the secret treasure of the Dragon Master Clan was lost, there would be a terrible war.

"However, I think you should know this, Your Majesty. I feel that the Timber Deity Empire knows something about the treasure of the Dragon Master Clan. After I gained the colored pearl..." Marcia immediately began to share her experience - how she was pursued and intercepted by the martial arts masters from the Timber Deity Empire after she gained the colored pearl. She left out the part where she met Rocky. After hearing her experiences, the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire and the others were worried.

"So, the Timber Deity Empire must have known something about this!" The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire frowned as the realization hit him. If the other empires or other spiritual races came to know that the treasure of the Dragon Master Clan was lost, it would be a great crisis for the Holy Dragon Empire.

"I think the most important thing right now is to find the rest of the colored pearls," Priest Dean remarked.

"There are four colored pearls that have not been found still. Some of them might have been found by other empires. We might need to get them by any means!" Alston said.

"I am going back to the altar right now. Let me try. Maybe I can foresee the clues of the other colored pearls," Lena spoke. She bowed and left the gathering.

"Your Majesty, if you do not have any other instructions for me, I would like to go back to the dragon field." Mia bowed and asked for leave. After she saw the emperor of Holy Dragon Empire nodding at her, she turned over and was ready to leave.

"Master Mia, please wait." Seeing Mia there, something had come into Marcia's mind. Marcia called out to Mia and asked her to wait. She walked over to her and whispered, "Master Mia, is there any spirit manipulator in your team named Rocky Bai? Is he among the new royal spirit manipulators?"

"Rocky Bai? No. There is no such person," Mia thought for a moment and replied.

"No? Did he deceive me?" Marcia froze for a moment as the thought rose in her mind. Immediately she got angry, 'That brat had the Dragon Spirit Mark on his left arm. No one else could have it, except the royal spirit manipulator. However, Mia says there is no such person with her.'

"General Marcia, what happened to you?" Mia asked with concern when she saw Marcia looking strange.

"It's all right. Thank you for your concern. You can go on." Marcia smiled and shook her head gently. However, after Mia left, her face went cold. "That bastard must have given me a false name. He must be scared, in case I found him. I would have killed him if I knew he was lying to me," Marcia said coldly with a murderous note in her eyes.

'I will definitely show no mercy to him when I see him next time, ' Marcia thought in her heart. She was taken aback by the way that brat had fooled her so easily. It had never happened earlier. She would not be deceived by a young lad. Indeed he had got himself into great trouble by lying to her.
