The Golden Throne

"Ah! Indeed. Bai Lu has not let go of the past.", The dragon king chuckled slightly.

"I have to ask, Your Majesty, what happened in the past? For the king of the magical forest to hate you so much. The phoenix and Arad have warned me countless times of the same. This has come up repeatedly, and my curiosity is not letting me sleep properly.", Liu Feng couldn't take it anymore and wanted to know. This had been going on his head for the last two months and since one of the primary parties was in front of him, Liu Feng knew that there wouldn't be a better chance to know of the past.

"Quite a curious child, you are. But now is not the time for you to know. Once the right time comes, the opportunity will present itself.", the king said.

Liu Feng grumbled inside. He hated it when the conversation ended so ambiguously. 

"Well, I am sure that Bai Lu's love for the continent exceeds his hate for us dragons. We are here because of some disturbing news we got. There is not one, but two demon ministers that are controlling this patrol group, and they are demon ministers that are so powerful that they almost equal a demon lord in power together.", the king said.

"Two demon ministers? That is troublesome indeed. Wait a minute! You said that they equal a demon lord together? What then? We do not have anyone able to fight two demon ministers together. I hope that none of them have demon armour as their artifact. I have heard horrible stories of how dangerous they are.", Liu Feng's cup almost fell on the ground. Hearing this information, he was particularly tensed up. He knew now that he had to have the help of the king of the magical forest.

The king's face was crestfallen. "That is indeed true. One of them is the shield, one of them is a sword. The ultimate offense and defense duo. I was truly astonished that the demon continent sent these two for a mere patrol unit, but it seems that they are willing to invest very heavily into conquering Dicain. This is a matter of great importance, and I wanted to tell the only human that I can trust.", the king said.

"I am honoured that you have given me such trust, Your Majesty.", Liu Feng gave credit where it was due. "Is the information accurate? I do not understand how you came across sensitive information like this.", Liu Feng asked.

"How I came about it is not your concern. I have no reason to divulge my sources.", the king snapped back.

Liu Feng kept quiet and nodded. He knew that he crossed a line.

"This is distressing information, human. The moment that I have heard of this, I rushed here because there were not one, but three contractors of king spirits here.", the dragon king said.

"Indeed, this is information that should be put on hold, No one should know about this. We will lose the war before it even starts. That will be a big problem for us. We cannot lose the motivation of the soldiers."

"These soldiers of yours will be very useless in the final fight, contractor of Pyrus. It will be very difficult to take care of hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers and captains when your average rank is a demon spawn. And, those guns of yours might help a little in a mad battle, but not in the long run"

"Those guns are not for the final battle, King of dragons. Nay, they are for the battles that precede them. In the final battle, the deciding factor will be if my nuclear weapon of sorts will work or not. In the final battle, we will thin out the ranks with a huge bomb that will destroy all living in a mile radius. I also think that this bomb will take care of the corrupted mana, so that the final battles between the demon generals and the ministers and us will be on a more equal ground."

"A bomb? Please stop joking with me. A stupid bomb will change the course of the battle? Do you think me a fool, contractor of Pyrus?", the dragon king shook in a fit of rage.

"It will be easier if you just call me Liu Feng, thank you. And you do not need to worry about whether the bomb will be effective or not. If it does not work, then no harm done. We can always battle normally. The bomb will not cost us anything, if not just an hour or two for preparation."

"Do whatever, I just hope that you know what you are doing. I do not want to lose any of my kin to a losing fight. And that stupid idiot in the forest. I know that he knows that there are two ministers, but he still holes up in that place and does nothing about it."

Liu Feng stayed silent, and sipped his tea. He looked at the king carefully, afraid that he would do something in anger. The king stood up.

"Fine, if you think that your bomb will do something, we will see, For now, just do what you want. The dragons will join the final battle. Till then, we will rest in some place comfortable. We will go to Dilheim. I heard great things in the very short time I have been here."

"Please wait a moment.", Liu Feng rummaged through his spatial ring, and took out a golden token. He handed it to the king. "Please use this in the city. It will make your trip a little easier."

"Haha. It seems that you have also been unable to take care of the inherent prejudice of all humans within your own city. And to think that people would call it paradise. What paradise when only a few can experience it?", the dragon king laughed again.
