Novel Bin Chapter 14 - They Didn’t Tell You? You Just Have To Die
He entered a large palace along with the armed spirit, and looked around. There was almost no one in the entrance. It seemed like someone important resided here, because there were all the hallmarks of a residence, and the security was tight. Liu Feng was brought to a large hall, with a throne at one end. The armed spirit kneeled at the throne, and said,
"He is here your highness. I will take my leave now.". The armed spirit left, leaving Liu Feng alone with the spirit on the throne. Liu Feng stepped forward, and saw the spirit clearly. She was definitely beautiful, looked so pure, and had a majestic aura about her.
"I take it that you are the Queen of Water?"
The spirit smiled, "You have quite the discerning eye. It is true. I am here to congratulate you on passing the second test. We expected you to give up. We were all interested when you actually killed the shark. Inface if you just died ten times, you would have passed. I am sure you know that right? You just had to die twice,"
"I am sorry?! I was supposed to be TOLD that? How irresponsible to miss out on this information? I didn\'t even know that I could quit.", When Liu Feng heard what the Queen said, he was fuming. If he had known what to do, he wouldn\'t have been so desperate. He looked at the queen. She was waiting for something, it seemed. Liu Feng looked around the throne room. There was only one seat, and that was the throne. It looked like the spirits also followed a monarchy, but Liu Feng was confused.
"What about the old man I saw at the entrance. He seemed to have the allegiance of all the spirits. Looks complicated. I hope that the kingdoms are not like that. I would definitely hate to be below someone.", Liu Fen remarked to himself.
Then, a spirit entered seemingly out of nowhere and went to the queen. She kneeled, and went up to the throne and whispered something in her ear. The Queen widened her eyes in shock, and dismissed the spirit.
"It looks like the council has made a mistake in conveying the information regarding the trials to you, so they are accepting the mistake and will grant you an exception from the third trial as reimbursement for the time you have lost. You have been summoned to stand in front of the council and the elders for the spirits to choose you. Come with me."
The Queen stood up and appeared in front of Liu Feng in a flash. She held her hand for Liu Feng to hold her. Liu Feng touched her hand. They were ice cold, and frost began creeping through his hand. His translucent body started crystallizing.
"This will take a few moments, please excuse me. I am not as adept in teleportation as the others.", the Queen smiled. They then warped, and Liu Feng saw himself in the centre of a circular room, and about a hundred spirits, separated by their element. On one side, there was a raised platform. At the centre sat four,, while sixteen others were standing. The Queen let go of his hand, and the hand started going back to its previous state. She went to sit next to the four on the raised platform. It looked like the old man that he first met was at the centre of it all, and he had a majestic robe and a crown this time. He stood up and announced,
"Fellow spirits, this is the first time a human has come to us to request for our powers in three hundred years. Clearly something has happened there that we need to know of. It is time for the spirits to give their approval. Which spirits shall give their powers to this human. He has cleared the first two trials with excellence, replays of which have been distributed. He was pardoned of his third trial because of a mistake the council regrets.. Please make your choice."
