Chapter 801
Dalton twisted his body.
Felicity smiled and said, “That package on your back is the Eight-Part Scepter, no? Can you lend it to
me for a couple of days?”
Lend it to her for a couple of days? Did she think it was a toy?
If news about the Eight-Part Scepter were to get out, it would only lead to chaos and conflict between
the righteous and the evil. Moreover, poor handling of the scepter could also pose a life- threatening
risk to the user.
Dalton shook his head and said, “This thing is very dangerous. I can’t lend it to you.”
Felicity frowned. “To tell you the truth, a ghoul overlord has appeared in Jonford, and only your Eight-
Part Scepter can deal with it!
“About ten years ago, Johnathan killed the last ghoul overlord in the world on Tili Mountain. There
shouldn’t be another one appearing this era of peace,” Dalton said with a quiet smile as he thought to
himself how lame the woman’s excuse was. Did she take him for fool?
Felicity hurriedly replied, “I’m not lying to you. I swear to the heavens. If even a word of what I said is a

As the deputy chief of the Inspection Office, Dalton took her words to be true after she swore by it.
Chapp
Still, did that person on Tili Mountain not already kill the thousand-year
-old ghoul overlord?
After a moment of silence, Dalton’s expression turned serious as he
asked, “Who told you this?”
“Nash told me so,” Felicity admitted, thinking that Dalton might have
heard of him since he was so famous.
“Nash?” Dalton muttered with a lowered brow, “Could it be the same.
Nash I know?”
Felicity added, “He’s a Golden Amulet Master!”
Dalton’s expression shifted again. It was indeed the same man,
Johnathan’s youngest disciple.
When Johnathan went to Gavistat, he had brought along a talented
and spirited young man with him. Despite being at the age of ten or
so, his cultivation was already unfathomable. Later, he became the
youngest amulet master in Drakonia.
Dalton went to the window and looked up at the sky in Jonford’s
direction. A glint of gold flashed through his eyes when he
unexpectedly saw a red star in the sky.
A Blood Star.
It was an omen of great calamity. It looked like a thousand-year-old
ghoul overlord had indeed descended to Jonford.
Felicity walked toward the window and said softly, “You’re a priest
yourself. You’ve spent time in a Mythism monastery. You should have
a sense of compassion!”
Chap 801
She did not know what a ghoul overlord was, but Nash had been very serious when he told her about
it. For someone as powerful as Nash to resort to external means meant that the enemy was a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmformidable
one.
Dalton scratched his bald head, a mixture of emotions churning in him. Having returned to secular life
for many years, he was no longer the priest who only knew how to recite scriptures.
He had been roaming freely in the secular world for years now, enjoying the pleasures of family life.
What did compassionate and virtuous deeds have to do with him?
The Eight-Part Scepter was a treasure of Mythism. With this treasure on him, he could go anywhere-as
far as the heavens and the earth. If he lent it out, it would be like him throwing a bone to a dog. It would
be gone forever.
Seeing Dalton stuck in a dilemma, Felicity continued, “Think about when you took the path of Mythism.
What did the elders at the monastery teach you?”
Dalton’s face twitched slightly. He recalled all of his master’s benevolent teachings that were delivered
with compassion.
“You were born with wisdom, but your attachments run deep. I ga you your new name, Skylar, hoping
you’ll let go of worldly distractions engage in virtuous deeds, and spread blessings everywhere!”
