The Golden Throne

Chapter 59 - What! Salem Still Exists?



Liu Feng went to the great sword training area with his teacher, Long Che. His teacher was not as indifferent as most others. He was normal per se. He did not shoot for potholes at every instance, and merely taught Liu Feng what he was supposed to know. But Liu Feng missed the eccentricities of most of the other teachers. He started swinging the great sword with ease, surprising Long Che.

Liu Feng started learning how to use the great sword in extremely fast succession. Long Che looked at Liu Feng with interest. All the students he got so far were hot headed boys who wanted to show off to girls that they could use a great sword, when they couldn\'t even swing it. ​​

After an hour of swinging it, Liu Feng knew that he had a special connection with this weapon. He liked this one better than most. He didn\'t particularly enjoy using the other weapons, but this one he did. This one felt like it was talking to him.

\'Well, I certainly did not expect you of all people to be a great sword guy. I would have thought of you as a dual sword person.", Aquous chimed in.

Liu Feng just shrugged. "Well, it is what it is. Just can\'t do anything about it."

"You are such a killjoy. I really regret taking you up for the contract. Your life is super boring. Nothing is happening. I wanted to go to all the places that I missed a few thousand years ago, but you are just here doing nothing. I can\'t even watch the drama that my kin tell me about. Where are these fights? That episode with that Li Zhang character was fun. Can you do that again?"

Liu Feng waved his hand, dismissing her words. The bell rang, so he went to the magic history class. Francis started the class, and he started an interesting topic that even Liu Feng was interested about.

"Students, today we will be starting a new and interesting topic on the different kingdoms in Dicain. This is important, so please pay attention. Here on the board, you have the map of Dicain. As you can see, the four kingdoms of Aegon, Darv, Elvan, and Glade are in the south, with all of the kingdoms having an ocean line. Then, as we go north, you will see the kingdom of Derail, and a few other kingdoms here. Then, as we go west, you will see the draconic empire. Legend has it that it is still controlled by dragons to this very day. But, as we know, dragons do not exist, and this is just a way of propagation of the Draconic empire. When we go east, we will see another kingdom of the dwarves that Darv had actually originated from, the Smithen Empire. This is a huge empire with impenetrable defense, and is famous for its huge steel wall around it\'s border. "

Liu Feng was thoroughly fascinated, because he did not find a record of this information in the castle library when he was back in the capital, and he was sure that he read almost every book there.

"I must ask Lucas about this."

Francis continued,

"And then, as we go further north, we have the empire of Salem."

Liu Feng\'s eyes widened. "I heard of this before. Where? Yes, it is where Lucas is from. But he said that it was a few hundred years ago right? How is such an ancient kingdom still alive? And if it is alive, then does that mean that ancient magic is still alive there? But the spirits told me that I was the first human to go to the spirit realm in a while. Oh my god, what is happening here?"
