Chapter 43 - The Elves
The classes concluded with the magic practicals class, and everyone was exhausted. Liu Feng was fine because he used the magic history class to 'recuperate', but when he got to the dorm he saw all three of his roommates lying on the bed.
"Going to bed so early?", he asked them.
"NO! I need to eat!", Filden shouted. He got up and ran to the cafeteria.
"What was his problem?", Liu Feng wondered, but left it. He then took out his textbooks and went through his magic history textbook. He was really curious about what was recorded regarding the ancient magic, and the books in the castle library were very vague.
He then took out his quill and paper, and started writing a letter to Lucas, asking about what he knew about the origins of ancient magic, when he knocked himself in the head.
"You have the source in your head stupid!", Liu Feng reminded himself. So, he asked nicely,
"Respected spirits. How did the elves, or the humans come to possess the power of ancient magic, I mean the contracted spirit part."
"You are very curious. I am not sure if I am supposed to tell you this, but I wasn't told to withhold this information from you. A few thousands of years ago, there was a war between Dicain and the demon continent. As we were from the spirit realm of Dicain, if anything happened to Dicain, or if it got corrupted by the presence of Demons, our powers would also get corrupted, and we would become devils, or even die. So, we gave the humans, elves, and the dwarves the power of Spirits. The dragons did not need it, so we left them at that, but Pyrus that fool loved them, and he gave their entire race a deal, saying that if they would serve the Kingdom of Fire, he would constantly give their race powers. He is still bound by his word. If there is any dragon left, if he bows down to you, he will get powers. I am not clear about the situation with the water beasts. You have to ask Aquous about that.".
Liu Feng's head went blank. Demons? He definitely did not expect this. It definitely was not a coincidence that he was reincarnated here right? All the stories said that the reincarnated man must defeat the demon king to live happily.
His line of thought was quickly interrupted by Alderan.
"Liu Feng? Liu Feng? Come with me, you have a guest. Someone is asking for you."
Liu Feng opened his eyes, and shook himself to get rid of his drowsiness. He nodded and went to the office building, but when he looked back he saw Alderan following. He saw that Amelia also joined and was following him. Liu Feng shrugged, and went inside. There, he saw the entire building was vacated, and an elf was standing at the entrance.
"Liu Feng? His majesty is waiting for you."
Liu Feng sighed, regretting even speaking at that class. He went up the guided ruote to a private meeting room, where an elf was sitting leisurely with another attending to him. They saw him enter, and they smiled.
"Hello Liu Feng. I am sure you know who I am. I am the king of Elvan. I am sure that you know the etiquette of greeting the king?"
Liu Feng bowed and went to take a seat, when the attendant's face changed. He flew forward and shouted, "Kneel down you commoner!".
Liu Feng saw this and he quickly jumped above, and kicked the attendant on the back. Now, he was standing on the back of the elf, when Alderan and Amelia arrived. The situation tensed up immeasurably.
