The Golden Throne

"Don't worry. It will open soon. I think you will be very impressed. I also sent letters to a few cities to send a few orphans that they cannot feed so that you will have your own generation of disciples."

Lucas' eyes started shining. He rubbed his hands and went back to the book.

Three days later,

The orphans from the different cities had arrived. As they were starving, Liu Feng had them clothed and fed. He then sent them to the mage tower that he had finished constructing. It was a majestic tower, and it was taller than all the other buildings in the vicinity. He spoke with the orphans, they numbered about a hundred, so he gave them names based on number and the surname tang, because he was a fan of the tang sect novels when he was a kid.

Now, he brought Lucas inside for the first time. Lucas was delighted. He loved the mage tower, as it was huge, had its own library, and most importantly, Lucas now had a hundred disciples waiting on him. The orphans agreed to become disciples of Lucas in exchange for food and shelter.

"Remember Lucas, this will be my personal army. I do not want to see them mistreated. I have placed copies of the Khair textbooks in your library. I want at least half of them to be mages in five years. I will leave you here, so you will also be a part of the city council. I have spoken to Nicholas about this so you need not worry. If you wish to communicate, you can send letters through your disciples."

Lucas nodded and hurried to the master's quarters. But what he saw disappointed him.

"Why is there nothing here? No windows even! What is this altar for at the center of the room?"

"Because you are a soul, I had the book placed here, at the centre of the entire tower. You will be able to go a floor up and a floor down, as well as go to the library in the room to your right. If I made your room more extravagant, you would lose some library space. I thought about everything, don't worry. I even added a few security precautions in the altar."

Liu Feng went and touched the glass covering the book. Suddenly, lights flared red and the altar sank into the ground. Lucas was impressed. "It's good, don't worry I will give you an army in a few years. You can stop by and check on their performance every few months."

Liu Feng left Lucas with his disciples. They were starting to get used to the concept of a soul, and Liu Feng did not allow them to leave the tower temporarily. He wanted to make sure that information about Lucas would not leave the tower.

In the Mage Tower,

Lucas was now getting acquainted with his disciples. Although a hundred disciples were a lot, he wanted to know them well, because they were all his first-generation students. He then assigned them to their accommodations.

Meanwhile, Liu Feng went to the engineering office that he had gotten made. The place was very busy because of all the current projects. Liu Feng went to the engineers and asked them about the progress of the remaining railroad lines. After confirming that they were all ready, Liu Feng wrote a letter to the railroad office to open all the routes, and set off to the Manor. The Manor was also going through a considerable renovation. As the rest of the city was developing and many highrises were coming up, it was only proper that the city lord also had a proper residence.. He took a look at all the developments and went to the hotel, where he was staying temporarily.
