Finally, Hunter was the first to react and laughed at Dominic. "Dominic, is your follower in his right mind? He said he wants to lift the knight statue? Is there no better talent in San Morio City? How can you recruit someone like him as a follower?"
There was a burst of laughter in the hall.
Ivy could not stand it anymore and whispered to Dominic, "Father, let's give up!"
Dominic shook his head.
Dominic also thought that Darryl was only joking, but then he thought about what had happened 2000 years ago when Master Franklin traveled to the Roland Continent. Master Franklin was treated as a weirdo at first. It was only after the numerous miracles he performed that he was finally recognized as a legend.
It sounded ridiculous when Darryl said he wanted to lift the knight statue, but perhaps he could really do it.
Darryl brushed off the ridicule and laughter.
The next second, he walked out of the hall and headed toward the knight statue.
There were still some bursts of laughter.
Stallon sneered. "The clown is about to start his show. Come and watch him, everyone!"
After that, many Royal Court maids and soldiers also gathered around the place. They were passing comments about Darryl.
"What is that guy doing?"
"It seems like he wants to lift the knight statue."
"Uh… is he in his right mind?"
While everyone was discussing that, they saw Darryl go around the knight statue. He stretched his hand to touch the statue and seemed to be checking for something.
However, no one noticed that when Darryl was touching the statue, he took a bag of powder discreetly and wiped it on the statue.
The powder Darryl used was called the Stone Lightening Powder. As the name suggested, it was sprinkled on the stone to make the stone lighter. The powder was accidentally invented by Darryl when he produced the elixir. He did not see much use of it at that time, but it was interesting, so he kept it close.
When he bet with Stallon, Darryl had thought of the Stone Lightening Powder. The knight statue was carved from stone, so it would not be a problem for the Stone Lightening Powder to work.
"Look, he's about to lift the statue!" Just when patience was running thin among the crowd, someone shouted, and the audiences were shocked.
