The Golden Throne

Chapter 239: Dying



Chapter 239: Dying

Liu Feng looked around in the camp. He was looking for Amelia. One of the deepest regrets that he had at the death bed was that he could not go through the part of his life completely. He wanted to make sure that she was safe, and that nothing happened to her.

“Where is she?” he muttered as he continued to look around. However, he was stopped on his tracks by someone else. He could see all the children and they were the very definition of exhausted. 

“Poor kids. All of them worked the hardest. This army was pointless without them. I will need to treat them so well after we get back.” he made a mental note as he walked towards them.

“Big brother!” Liu Feng heard Hu Long exclaim.

“There you are. I was wondering where my star commander was. So then, I am guessing that you have the most laurels in the entire army? What do you want? All of you deserve it. All of you should get something.” Liu Feng said softly.

“What is wrong with you, big brother? You seem so different. Did something bad happen? We won, right?” Hu Long asked with big, unblinking eyes.

“It is true that children can detect even the smallest changes. But this is beyond you. All of you have worked hard, and you must be rewarded. I will personally talk to Lucas, and all of you will get a big vacation. You will be allowed to do whatever you want to do, and you will get anything that you want. Alright?” Liu Feng smiled slightly.

“Thank you big brother!” all the children shouted out with joy.

“You should recover quickly though. You never know when you will need the mana. Having some spare will be useful. You should all go to a side and recover.” Liu Feng suggested.

Hu Long nodded. Liu Feng nodded back as he turned away and continued walking. He did not know where all of the students stood, but he knew for a fact that Amelia was not going to be with them, because all of the elves with a contract also fought next to Hu Long and the other children, and they were probably going to be somewhere near the children.

Liu Feng sighed as he closed his eyes. He tried to move the mana in his body through the area to look at what was around him.

Aaargh!

Liu Feng felt a pang of pain in his head when he tried to do that. He opened his eyes.

“What is happening? Why am I unable to use mana? I cannot use any of the mana in my body.” Liu Feng exclaimed.

“What happened to your body, Liu Feng? This is a serious problem. There is a huge concentration of corrupted mana, and it is slowly eating away your body. Are you an idiot? Why did such a lethal amount of mana enter your body in the first place?” Aquous shrieked in his ears.

“There is corrupted mana within my body? Where?” Liu Feng was the most surprised. He did not expect there to be something so dangerous within his body.

“In your head! Of all places, it is the most difficult of all to remove. You are in trouble. Looking at the amount of mana there, and the rate at which it is spreading, I will give you two years before you will die.” she said.

“Two years? I just got my life back, and you are saying that someone else will take it away from me immediately? I do not accept this.” Liu Feng could not believe his ears.

“Is there any way that I can stop this? There must be something that I can do.” Liu Feng asked desperately. 

There was a huge pause. Liu Feng felt like eternity has passed when Aquous finally responded.

“There is one person that comes to mind. But she is all the way on the other side of the continent. She is in the top of Salem, and she is one of the most difficult people to meet.” Aquous said.

“You cannot possibly send him to that crazy person. She will take him apart and study him like a test subject. She will know immediately that he has four contracts.” Pyrus immediately disagreed.

“But there is no other choice. If he wants to live, then there is only one thing that he can do. Until then, he won’t even be able to use his mana. He will be defenseless.” Aquous said.

“Who is this person?” Liu Feng could no longer hold his curiosity.

“This, is the witch of Salem. The most obnoxious, and peculiar person in all the lands, and the last person that I would have you visit, if not for this problem that has come upon us.” Aquous said grimly.

“The witch of Salem? Isn’t Salem where Lucas is from? Won’t that mean that he would know about her a little? Because this title seems more hereditary than most.” Liu Feng asked.

“She is called the witch of Salem, not of hereditary. There was only one with since the last demon war, and that is this one. She had witnessed the last war, and she lives to this day. Ask your friend, and he will suggest strongly against even stepping foot into her tower, but there is no other choice. We must risk it. You must risk it.” Aquous said.

“I cannot use mana. I will not be able to use the roads. This trip is one that I will have to make. But I can only make it a year later. It looks like the next year is going to be quite the hectic one.” Liu Feng sighed. 

“Why a year? Do you not understand the urgency? Leaving for Salem will take a year to get there on the road. There are far too many stops that we will have to make, and you will not be able to get there in time. With the time passing, you will grow weaker and weaker.” Aquous said.

“I want to keep my life more than anyone else. That is why I will leave after I create one more thing.” Liu Feng said.

“Create something? What can be so important?” Aquous asked.

“An airplane.” Liu Feng curled up his lips.
