Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

"Oh, yes. We have collected lots of treasures," Valeria responded, playing along with Rocky.

"If I remember correctly, one of them is a divine treasure. So, if we are to give something to Prince Zain, why not that?" Then, right after Rocky spoke of it, he took out a seemingly unremarkable and ordinary purple root.

At the same time, everyone was intrigued upon hearing that Rocky mentioned a divine treasure.
