Darryl came to his senses and replied, “My name’s Darryl.”
Yalena nodded and asked expectedly, "Where did you get this jade piece?"
Sigh!
Darryl sighed in relief and answered truthfully, "I got it at an auction. From what I’ve heard from you, it’s part of the Holy Jade Scripture. Can you show me the scripture?”
The words carved on the jade piece were ancient characters from The Nine Continent. Since there were many other Temple of Lights, Darryl would not want to miss this opportunity.
After they spoke, everyone’s expression changed.
The Golden Lion Paladin was the first to react. “How bold of you!”
He rushed over and kicked Darryl as he scolded, “The Holy Jade Scripture is a holy artifact from the Temple of Light. How can we just show it to you?”
Darryl was furious, and at the same time, he could not laugh or cry.
"This is interesting. You guys captured me because of this jade piece, but you don’t want me to look at it. I’m afraid no one on this continent will be able to read the words on the jade apart from me,” Darryl said helplessly as he scratched his head.
The entire temple suddenly became silent.
Yalena and the paladins looked closely at Darryl; each of them thought they heard him wrongly.
