The Golden Throne

Chapter 259: Flash Bang



Chapter 259: Flash Bang

“What is with the noise. Can’t they just keep it down? I gave them the liberty of not getting beaten up and god do they misuse it!” Liu Feng shouted with a frown on his face.

He was sitting outside in a peaceful garden. Except, with people trying to storm the palace, it wasn’t so peaceful anymore. Opposite to him, a boy of the same age was sitting with a cup of tea in his hands.

“Well, you did offend all of them by taking a swing at their place of faith.” the boy chuckled.

“Come on Arad. You know better than that.” Liu Feng chuckled.

“Enough with the small talk. Why did you call me here? I know that you are busy, and there must be some important reason that you have called me to come here.” Arad asked.

“You saw that spectacle outside. It is such a ruckus. And all of this was instigated by a church that thinks that God doesn’t want anyone to study science. I am not going to chide a religion. After all, me still living is a miracle in and of itself. But I have my doubts on how the church operates. So I am sure that they could use a divine reckoning of their own.” Liu Feng said.

“A divine reckoning?” Arad asked, raising his eyebrows.

“There is another bomb that I want you to throw on the church. Don’t worry. It is not going to kill anyone. All it is going to do is create a flash bang, blind everyone, and have an angry voice that hints that the church is going in the wrong direction.” Liu Feng said.

“You want to mislead everyone into thinking that what you are doing is right?” Arad asked.

“It is not that I think that I am right all the time. But what the church is opposing right now will be bound to change the world in the future. Imagine. Better medicine, better infrastructure, a better place to live in. The possibilities are endless with science. I mean, that is how Dilheim is even the way that it is.” Liu Feng said.

“I have always wondered, Liu Feng. How did you come into science? I may be old, but you are exactly as old as you look. You are just sixteen or seventeen. How did you learn all of this? There must be some secret behind all of this. Something that you must have come upon.” Arad asked.

“All in due time. But I need your help to deploy that flash bang.” Liu Feng said.

“If that bang kills anyone, then there will be a lot of innocent blood on my hands. I did it in that war because I did not expect that the scale of the bomb to be that big. But after witnessing that, I do not know what to do now.” Arad said.

“I care about these people too. That is why I specifically ordered the guards not to harm anyone. If this were any other king right now, all these people would be in the dungeons, and they would be punished for daring to go against their king. But I acknowledge that they were being misled. Now, we have to fix the roots, or many people will be in trouble. I don’t want their lives to get hampered because a few old men dictate what can be done and what can’t.” Liu Feng said.

“There are many who think that they are right. But are you sure that you are? Because, looking at the magnitude of things that you are doing, many of them are far reached even for the biggest kingdom in Dicain. Let me just warn you. You are far too ambitious.” Arad said.

“Are you going to help me? This is going to be important for the future. I need to get the church out of the way, and this will guarantee that no innocent blood will be spilled.” Liu Feng said.

“Whatever you say.” Arad said as he got up.

“So then? Where is the bomb?” he asked.

“It is not that big this time. After all, it is not nearly as big in scale. But you have to drop it from really high up, and make sure that no one can see you at that height. It has to look like God himself dropped his punishment from the sky.” Liu Feng said.

“Curse it. You don’t have any mana so you cant even try to do it. Where is it? In that workshop of yours?” Arad asked.

“You know me well.” Liu Feng smiled. “It is right outside, ready for you to use.”

“Keeping so many of them like that, isn’t that very unsafe. Anyone can get their hands upon them.” Arad asked.

“I have put my safeguards on them. Only I will be able to activate them. This one has already been activated, so you don’t need to worry. It will go blast in about thirty minutes.” Liu Feng said.

“I just need to drop it right? I am not going to time it or anything. That is going to be such a hassle.” Arad asked as he started walking away.

“You just need to drop it. I will be near the church, waiting for this spectacle to take place.” Liu Feng smiled.

“I see. I hope that all of this will go well. Why don’t you go there quickly, I will be there in about ten minutes.” Arad smiled.

“I am leaving right now.” Liu Feng nodded. He also got up, and headed to one of the exits. One of the guards stopped him almost immediately.

“Your Majesty! This is not safe! There are many crazy people out there, and some of them actually believe the allegations on you. It is better if you stay inside for the rest of the week.” the guard said.

“I am going to go visit the church. I would rather have a quick talk with the high priest. Is that not what all of you want?” Liu Feng shouted at the crowd in front of him

The crowd went silent.
