Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 756 The mysterious connection between carpenters and orthopedics
The funeral was over, but the country could not live without a king for a day. The position of Prince Tyronloch finally fell into the hands of Adira Bell Keke after the will was authenticated by many parties and the noble council voted.

The situation of the female prince was very similar to that of her husband. They both succeeded to the throne in a hurry after the death of their father. However, compared with Caledo, who was in a serious financial crisis at the time and was actively preparing for the tense battle of Fenouir Plains, Tyronlock was under great pressure. There are countless small ones.

Although they are not worried about the instability caused by the rush, the people of the two countries are still concerned about one thing.

As far as Caledo is concerned, Adira's main identity is Prince Tyronlok, and he is also the prince's wife.

As for Tyron Locke, Imrik's identity is the Prince of Caledor and the husband of the female prince.

The difference between the two lies in shared governance or divided governance.

Adira, who was sitting on the throne, was very sad to convey the news that due to family reasons, and the first heirs of both countries were Drachnir, the union of the two countries was inevitable.

After consultation with Prince Caledor and her husband, the two countries will establish a joint parliament, with equal distribution of seats and separate government affairs in details. However, when it comes to common interests, the parliament will vote on whether to pass the future proposals of the two countries.

The Union Parliament has two levels, the Noble House of Lords and the Civilian Senate. The power of the House of Lords is equal to that of the Prince. If a resolution is passed by both houses at the same time, the palace must pass it.

As soon as these words came out, the Tyranlock nobles were complacent, thinking that through some means, they would be able to gain more influence.

But they forgot the fact that most of the members of the Caledor Noble Council are currently away. According to the rules, the senators in the upper house are equal and there is no speaker, highlighting the democratic system of Ulthuan.

But the accompanying hidden danger is that there is no speaker of the parliament to forcefully convene the senators to attend the meeting. As long as one person is not present, it lacks legal validity and the palace can reject it.

The nobles loyal to the Belkerk family, one after another, knelt down to express their loyalty to Adira under Imrik's scrutinizing gaze.

As the female prince, the first thing Adila must do is to appease the emotions of the nobles, promising that the kingdom will become more and more prosperous under her governance, promulgating multiple policies one after another, and taking the initiative to cede some palace interests.

After all, the specific situations of the two countries are still different. The existence of the dragon horn allows the Caledor family to have strong royal power over the nobles under their command, while Belkerk needs multiple means to stabilize it to prevent the palace from becoming an empty shell.

Repeating the allegiance link is very sacred and solemn. Although the Dragon Prince's expression is very serious, his heart is roaring. It's over. Now my wife and son have run away, and I am the only one left in the palace.

Prince Long rolled his eyes and looked away from Wycliffe, who was just showing off next to him. He thought to himself that it seemed feasible for this old boy to handle government affairs. Otherwise, let him preside over the palace and I would go to the old world.

The ceremony ended smoothly, and various inevitable banquets were waiting for the two princes, but all of this had nothing to do with Drachnir.

After witnessing his mother's crowning ceremony, the son of the dragon did not want to meet those hypocritical and ordinary people in the court where his grandfather had lived all his life, so he asked Minas Nir to take him back to the dragon's court.

He changed out of his luxurious robes and replaced them with the crude standard equipment of the city guard. He put on a simple pointed helmet, tied up his long sword, picked up a fan-shaped shield and a spear, rummaged through the warehouse for some odds and ends, and rode towards the card. After running to Ledo Rest House, we transferred to a boat and arrived at Chulong Bay.

After walking for a long time and going through many procedures, he returned to the town where he had only stayed for a few days.

A very experienced-looking soldier skillfully slapped Drachnir on the shoulder. This unusual action made the prince subconsciously want to draw his sword and stab the offending man in the throat.

However, if the veteran showed concern, he would still let his tense body slowly relax.

"Lonka, my condolences. Your Excellency Maurica just stated a few days ago that you were going to attend your grandfather's funeral. I'm sorry that we were not there."

Draknir waved his hand and said it didn't matter. His disguised identity was Lonkar, and he came from a carpenter family in the remote village of Tal Kaled. Only the head of the Young Dragon Bay town guard, Morika, knew his true identity.

He turned around and forced a smile and said to the captain,

"It happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to explain it to you. It was just a matter of time to set off immediately after asking Mr. Morica for instructions."

The captain took out some stones engraved with Nisu runes, which had been carved by the city guards themselves in recent days.

I hope that when Lonka returns home during the holidays, he will place it next to his grandfather's grave as a tribute.

Ronka received the Stone of Rest very solemnly. The gift was not expensive, but his heart was heavy. He had only stayed with the port patrol for a week, and the time away was far longer than the time he had been on the job.

To be so concerned about the captain, which is different from the affection of the palace, it is inevitable that I feel a little touched.When the captain saw Lonka giving such a grand gift, he thought he was too sad and made his words and deeds a little sensitive.

He said a few words of encouragement that the dead have passed away, but the living still need to be strong. He also extended Lonkar's two-day holiday so that he could have a good rest at his residence and not be in a hurry to return to work.

Saying goodbye to the captain at the gate of the town barracks, Lonka suppressed the recent sadness in his heart and gave away the specialties from Tal Kaled's remote countryside prepared in advance to the colleagues he met one by one.

The prince, who didn't understand much about civilian life, could only find some common items in the palace inventory. In order to fit the disguised identity, most of them were small wooden crafts that should look like something a carpenter could make.

Although he didn't know who sent these things in the palace, the prince thought that there were not many people in the family.

My father only liked weapons, armor and various classics. My mother was thinking about finding a few tailors and gardeners all day long. These things were not stored in the treasure house in the basement, so they should be of little value.

Tie Lang, who was secretly observing from the side, laughed out loud. This brat really didn't understand class differences. Didn't he see the soldiers who had received the special products look puzzled and check the exquisite handicrafts in their hands?

After taking a sip of the 180-year-old palace jade wine provided by Tyrion, Iron Wolf continued to watch the prince's observation of the common people with a playful attitude.

Mishan sighed, and the prince did not arrange a nanny for the prince to impart social knowledge. These wooden handicrafts were specially dedicated to the dragon's court by the famous wood carving artists of Avalon.

It’s understandable that you choose to give away wood carvings to suit your status, but don’t overestimate the craftsmanship of a country carpenter!
He didn't quite understand why his colleagues had such weird expressions on the gifts they gave him. When he met someone from the same team, he took the opportunity to give him a miniature wooden sculpture of a young dragon holding a sword.

After receiving the same weird expression, Longka finally couldn't resist his curiosity and asked,

"Is there anything strange? Can't wood carvings be circulated in Chulong Bay? Or maybe you don't like them."

The teammate quickly shook his head. This thing is very exquisite. The wood is soft and cool. The oil wax on the surface is even and wrinkle-free. The shape of the young dragon holding the sword is even more vivid. It is just like a newborn son who is brave and fearless when facing the world. It is far better than what you see in the market. A shoddy product is infinitely better.

But are there such outstanding woodcarving craftsmen in Kalede...

The guard from Fengxiao City was very confused. He asked carefully,

"Longka, your grandfather, did you study art in the inner circle during his lifetime?"

When the word art was mentioned, Lonka's mind immediately started to work. The teachings from Beranal allowed him to quickly identify where the wood carving came from.

He rubbed the back of his head innocently, wondering in his mind that the common people were so far away from these things...

"Yes, my grandfather is a carpenter who likes exquisite craftsmanship. There is nothing useful at home, and it is just waiting to get moldy in the warehouse. I might as well give them all away, so that these works can live on for my grandfather and see the world."

The teammates gave Ronca a thumbs up. In the first few days of contact, they felt that this kid had extraordinary conversation and temperament, but he was just a little poor...

When I was reporting, I only had two gold leaf coins on my body. I owed money to the tavern for dinner, and I was not willing to accept the kindness of others...

After the teammates put the wood carving away, they would cherish the gift of thanking Lonka and pass it on as a family heirloom to see throughout the world.

The teammates took one last look at the ingenious wood carvings and were deeply moved.
"Your grandfather must have been a superb orthopedic surgeon in the past. His skills are really good."

Lonka was a little confused by this nonsense. Is there any connection between carpenters and orthopedists?

The prince, who thought for a long time to no avail, could only think that this was an interesting comment among common people and continued to hand out wooden sculptures.

The prince, who didn't quite understand the etiquette among commoners, brought a large bag with him. Although it wasn't a rare thing, it felt troublesome to carry it around.

If it is really difficult to give them away, be prepared to burn these exquisite wood carvings...
