The Golden Throne

"The demon forces in the continent can be vanquished with the power you hold already, you will not require any more help. If you cannot, then your fight is worthless, and you should just give up.", the King scoffed.

"Fight is worthless? Are you even the king or are you an imposter? How can you say something like that? You have been alive for at least millennia. You are supposed to have more attachment to this continent than me, who has only been here for fifteen years. Why are you taking everything so lightly? Do you not care about what happens to the continent?", Liu Feng retorted.

"Liu Feng... Don't go too far..", Amelia said meekly but Liu Feng brushed her away.

"Humans have no right to say anything. Half the problem is caused by your stupid greed that is hardwired in your blood. If it weren't for you, the continent would be much more powerful than some upstart demon king who wants to conquer us all.", the king raged.

"Can we at least get the armour of the demon minister that you have? We will return it immediately after the fight commences.", Liu Feng asked, pleaded in fact. 

"The armour? Feng Huang has been too complacent. For her to divulge this information to someone like you. Go and tell her that allowing her to stay in that form itself is a grace by me. For her to tell random people things that they shouldn't know is just treason.", the tiger said, growling slowly. Liu Feng felt a cold chill up his spine screaming danger.

But Liu Feng did not heed this sign.

"Why do you cling on to the past? We will be able to put that armour to good use. You should think about the greater good. It is just a memory of the past for you, but a war winner for you. A war that you will benefit from.", Liu Feng said.

Liu Feng was thrown back by a gust of wind. 

"I will forgive you for crossing your boundaries this one time. Now, you are no longer welcome in the magical forest. You can leave immediately, the magical beasts won't stop you."

Liu Feng gritted his teeth, and he walked back to the car. Amelia followed, but the white tiger called. "Wait, the elf stays.

Liu Feng was about to retort, but he didn't. The eyes of the white tiger, large and wide open, were different now. They did not have that killer's gaze from before. The pupils were dilated, and he looked softly at Amelia.

"Just for a while. I wish to talk to your contracted spirit.", the tiger said.

Liu Feng looked at Amelia and just nodded his head. She went back near the tiger, while Liu Feng went back to the car. He walked back to the car, and he sat down. He started thinking,

"The king said that the war could be won without the help of the king. He shouldn't know about any dragons. Does that mean that Feng Luang has powers that we do not know about?"

He kept thinking and simulating the war again and again in his mind, but he was constrained by so many factors, the premier of which was that he never faced a demon general or a demon minister to know if they could face one or not. He theorized on what could happen, but the fact that the phoenix struggled so hard to face a demon general could only mean bad news.

"Well, all of this wouldn't matter if I was stronger. That is what I should focus on. I should get to the seventh or even the eighth order so that I can actually make a difference in the war.", he thought to himself. "Looks like I will need to join Lucas' tutelage again.", he smiled.

After a while, Amelia was back, blank faced. She looked at Liu Feng and said, "What happened there? I was told to stay there, but he sent me back almost instantly."

Liu Feng's eyebrows raised. "Instantly? What do you mean instantly? You were there for an hour at least."

"That can't be right. I didn't even do anything. I just stood there, and then a bright light came and he told me to go."

"He tampered with your memories?", Liu Feng muttered. "We will take a look at this closely when we get back to the city. We are running out of time, he kicked us out of the magical forest, remember? We need to leave before the clock strikes midnight, or I am afraid that he will send a horde against us. Just sit down and buckle up, I am going to go fast."

He did go fast, as fast as he could. Already acquainted with the route that they had taken, he traversed the forest at a quick pace, and by nightfall, he got to the magical academy. He went through the academy to see how the evacuation was going. Clearly, all the dwarves and the people from Glade were still there, confused and waiting for their own carriages to arrive from their countries. The academy was too quiet, just like the first time Liu Feng had come to the place. He sighed, "Well, it isn't like I have any good memories about this place anyways."

They continued their journey to Dilheim. It went faster this time around, and they reached the city in just fifteen minutes, compared to the twenty that they needed when they were going to the forest.

"Why are you going so fast? We do not have any urgent task to attend to right?", Amelia asked, concerned. "Don't worry, I just want to get there fast, so that I can sleep faster. No need to worry, just calm down."

She nodded, and they reached the City Lord Mansion very soon. Liu Feng parked his car.

"Ok, let's go now. You can go to your room. I think I have some work to do. Sleep well.", he said.
