The Golden Throne

Chapter 83 - The Gun



Then he took a look at the magic core. He marveled at it. It was yellow in color, just like the monkeys. Liu Feng could feel that it had mana in it, and it was distinctively of the wind element. Any wind mage who needed to replenish mana urgently could use this to make the process much quicker, because it was so much easier and purely wind mana. 

Liu Feng then took out an object that he got when he was just five. He took out the gun that he bought at the marketplace of the capital. Now, it was far more refined than it was all those years ago, when he had first bought it. It was pitch black now, with a wonderful leather handle, and no rust like it did then. It had an hole in the handle that was just as big as a mana stone. Now, Liu Feng put the magic core in the hole, and the gun started glowing in yellow, the color of the core itself.

Liu Feng lifted the gun, and carefully inspected it. There were lines of glowing yellow that were running all throughout the gun, as if it was a circuit board that was conducting mana instead of electricity. The lines were jagged, and they all originated from the magic core, which was at the center of the handle. 

"Looks like this could be a success. Finally, after so many years, I can finally try something that is truly economical.", Liu Feng said, laughing.

He then went outside the tent. People were still scattering because of the monkeys. He locked his eyes on one of them, and aimed the gun at it. He fired, and a blast of mana flew at it, and blew the head of the monkey wide open. No one saw who fired the shot because of all the chaos, and Liu Feng was thoroughly satisfied. He slowly went to the monkey\'s body and retrieved the magic core.

"How did you do that, boy? What is that mystical weapon? It has powers that I have never seen before. To use magic cores in weapons has never been seen before, not just by me, but by anyone.", Liu Feng suddenly heard Zeus\' voice in his head.

Liu Feng said, "Ah! The King of spirits. It must be a rare occasion for you to speak with me. Well, I just found it as scraps when I was a kid, a week before I met you spirits. It is a very interesting weapon, and I think that mass producing it will help in the fight against the demons."

"Help? This one weapon will be a gamechanger. You have brought me a lot of confidence boy! I will give you a gift because of that. When you want to split with your group so that you can do your training, you have to avoid going too deep. Within the depths of the magic forest, there are mythical beasts like phoenixes and other beasts, and they hate humans. They will kill you the moment they see you.", Zeus warned Liu Feng.

Liu Feng nodded, and he went back to his tent. After a while, the monkeys all left, chased away by the teachers. All the students were called out, and Marcus, who had arrived at the nick of time shouted at all the students. "Do you have an idea how delicious humans are to monsters? By gathering in a group, you are basically handing yourselves on a silver platter. We lost two students to the beasts already. This is truly the most unruly batch I have seen. Looks like this trip will have more causalities than any other."

All of the students looked at each other with caution and terror in their eyes. With the monster attack still fresh in their memory, they instinctively looked at the trees from time to time.

Liu Feng saw the head of the boy who had harassed the girl lying on the ground. He laughed inside because he knew that the real reason the boy died was because of the mana he injected into him. But, he shouted, "Teacher! Why did you leave the boy out here to die? Isn\'t he a duke\'s son. What will the duke do if he finds out that he died when he was in your hands?"

The teacher\'s face grew ugly. He said, "What do you mean? When was he in my hands. He was killed by the monsters right. He let go of me and rushed like a mad man. That\'s what happened."

"Teacher, we cannot just change what happened. I am going to have to report what happened here to the administration, and the boy\'s pitiful father.", Liu Feng said, with a smile on his face that was widening by the moment.

"I am also obligated to report the incident that occurred, so I am afraid that you will be following someone else\'s steps. I am sure that you know who.", Liu Feng said.

The teacher\'s face was truly ugly now, but Marcus quickly interjected.

Marcus said, "Now is not the place or the time to argue about something so trivial as an offender\'s life. Let us move. The monsters know where we are right now. We have to move soon, or we will be ambushed by an even greater herd, and we will all die then."

All the students went to their tents and started taking them out. The whole process was loud, and everyone was chattering about the incident that occurred as they were packing all of their things. Liu Feng packed all his items, and took out his tent in matter of a few minutes. He went over to Amelia\'s tent to help out, and he packed everything up. He then told Amelia, "Never leave a few meters of me without telling me. This place is far too dangerous. I promised our brother that I would bring you out in one piece, and he will kill me if I don\'t."

Amelia nodded, a bit disheartened.
