The Golden Throne - Chapter 113

Liu Feng looked at his father and saw him gaping at the city. Well, what was to be expected? Liu Man had given Liu Feng a barren town to give him responsibility and to teach him humility. Who even knew what was in Liu Man’s mind when he decided to give Liu Feng such huge responsibility? Maybe it was all a whim. And, even then, Liu Man gave Liu Feng a small barren town just so that Liu Feng would not screw up on a huge level and destroy the lives of so many.

How would anyone expect a mere fifteen year old child to turn things around?

“What the hell did Liu Feng do in the last half year? Nicholas, you have a lot of explaining to do.”, Liu Man ground his teeth. To tell the truth, his eyes had a little terror in his eyes when he glanced at Liu Feng. When such a young person achieves something this big, scepticism is bound to arise, and Liu Man was sceptical alright. He was not even sure if this was his son.

“Well, he has been behaving weirdly since he was a kid. He must have been a god gifted child.”, Liu Man sighed as he calmed himself.

Liu Feng looked at the other two kings as well. Damascus looked at all of this with a huge grin on his face. He looked at Liu Feng and asked, “Boy, this master of yours. Did he do all of this? Surely normal methods cannot have buildings this high built this quickly. I know this place, it was barren just a few years ago. It definitely could not have gotten this developed without some extraordinary feat.”

Liu Feng shook his head. “Wow! He is a king alright! He is the only one who noticed the greatness of concrete so quickly.”, he thought to himself. He looked at Damascus and said, “Yes, I have received great help from him. Since he was with me as a child, he has given me much needed help to run the city. If you are on the streets of the city, you shall clearly hear how much the citizens idolize him.”. Liu Feng snickered inside. Slowly, he was pushing all of these laurels onto Lucas’ hands. That way, even if someone wanted to take away the city, they had this mysterious master of the mage tower to pass through.

They stopped at the main railway station and Liu Feng got off. He addressed the kings,

“Your Majesties, all the citizens of Dilheim are but peasants who had never seen you, so please forgive them for lack of etiquette. Also, there is an important guest in the mage tower with red hair. I hope that no one offends her, as I had gone through great strides to invite her to my city. She is a benefactor who saved my life in the magic forest.”

“Magic forest? Who is this person? Is she a part of the fight against those so called demons that you are talking about?”, Liu Man said.

“Yes father. It is just that she is an important guest that we cannot afford to offend. Please put aside the pride as kings, as we are all…. nothing in front of someone like her.”, Liu Feng warned. The kings harrumphed, but they did not say anything.

They went down the streets, where all the people greeted Liu Feng when they saw him. Liu Feng finally got in front of the mage tower. All the kings looked up instinctively and had to strain their heads to see the end. The tower was much higher than every other tower, and they were basically sky scrapers in this world. The mage tower was something like the burj khalifa of this world. (Yes, I know that the burj khalifa is not the tallest building, but it serves the purpose because it is one of the most well known tall buildings in the world.)

“Are you not afraid of instability at the top of the tower? Do you think that you are the only one to have experimented with the height of a tower?”

“Well, mud will surely be incapable of holding the weight together, but another compound will. Now, please enter. ”

The group entered the tower without any resistance after Liu Feng flashed a token at the child who was guarding the entrance. When they went to the first floor, they saw fifty or so kids who were meditating on the ground. Immediately, Damascus and the dwarf exclaimed, “Impossible! They are humans with a contract. All of them! They can all become part of any core army and will increase the strength of the army by a lot.”

“As you can see, the power of the mage tower is nothing to scoff about. Also, please refrain from disturbing the kids, as they are in a very deep meditative state, with some of them trying to get a contract with a spirit.”

“Fine, whatever.”, the kings followed Liu Feng to the sixth floor, where Lucas was just talking to a child. He saw them, and dismissed the boy.

“Such a surprise! Liu Feng, and the king of Aegon. As well as an elf and dwarf. Why this sudden arrival?”

“Nothing, they just wanted to confirm your power.”

Then, using mana, Liu Feng transmitted a piece of information. Lucas smiled and nodded at Liu Feng, giving him a subtle wink.

He looked at the kings who arrived. “Kings of the mortal realm. Very disappointing. One of them is an average warrior, and the elf and dwarf don’t even have contracts with king spirits. This is embarrassing indeed.”

“The contractor of Eurus has already appeared, and it’s an elf, so don’t worry.”, Liu Feng snapped back at Lucas.

“But to think that the children blessed by the earth were not the ones to receive Terran’s approval is just shocking.”

The three kings truly did not know where to put their faces. They were getting humiliated by Lucas and did not even have a counter.

“Well then, I need to discuss something with Liu Feng here, so please give me some privacy.”
