Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 910 The Dead Phoenix King

The dignitaries with their own evil intentions left the queen's palace. According to the will of the gods, the ceremony will officially begin in five days.

The Queen hinted that Prince Caledor should not leave the scope of supervision during this period, and only need to follow the process. No matter what the outcome, she would not put the Dragon Court into an embarrassing situation.

Drachnir pretended to be solemn, but he didn't take it seriously. This was not his mother, and she couldn't obey every word.

What to do in five days...

When looking at the crows flying overhead, Drachnir quickly had the answer in his mind.

Five days later, in front of the Phoenix King's courtyard in Lothern, a group of people had been waiting outside for a long time.

According to Asul's rules, Her Majesty the Queen has more noble authority than the Phoenix King. When the two of them attend any event, the Phoenix King must be the first to come forward and wait.

But now Alarielle's carriage has been parked for a long time, and the elegant team of maids is also a little commotion in a trance, seeming to be puzzled by the Phoenix King's behavior.

The ceremony will be held at noon when the sun shines brightest. Originally, Drachnir was going to go directly to the Asuryan Temple to wait, but he had to obey the Queen's order and could only choose to go with everyone in the Phoenix King's Courtyard.

War Lord Tyrion looked a little unnatural. It would be fine if he dismissed most of the affairs by saying that he had studied in the past and realized divine grace, and allowed himself to preside over the main work of the Phoenix Court.

"Your Majesty lives in the courtyard all the time, feeling the blessings of God alone. No one is allowed to disturb you without permission. Except for the monthly meeting, the Phoenix Guards are serving your Majesty most of the time."

Tactful, but direct enough.

Patience is the quality of every Asur. Although it is difficult to match the dwarves, for the immortal species, time is the least valuable item.

Tyrion turned his gaze to Cohir, hoping to get an answer from Fenubar's most trusted friend.

Alarielle stepped out of the cage and asked Cohir softly,

But now, the people present were not just members of the War Council. Even when Her Majesty the Queen came in person, Fenuba still did not show up.

Alarielle stopped asking, and just from the expressions of Tyrion and Cohir, the queen had already vaguely guessed something.

In my opinion, as ministers, we are naturally obliged to listen to Asuyan's will and appreciate His Majesty's kindness. "

What happened to him?

This doubt appeared in the mind of the war lord. In his memory, Fenubar was always a leader who was good at communication and coordinated and integrated the forces of all parties.

After waiting in place for nearly an hour, when the sun was already approaching the center of the sky, Teclis made a suggestion.

The accusation from the Queen made Cohir feel a little pressured, but facing Elsa's daughter, even as Fenuba's most trusted partner, he could never tell a lie and could only tell the truth.

Dividing the concept of identity is a very simple but effective method. As God’s chosen people feel the call, we naturally cannot disturb it.

The Supreme Mage asked Her Majesty the Queen for her opinion. If Alarielle insisted on waiting, no one would be able to leave.

"Sir Kesil, why is there no news about the Phoenix King? As the monarch of Asul, Your Majesty should set an example and set an example. Words should not be treated as child's play."

Cohir said that although he is the captain of the White Lion Guard, he cannot withstand the power of the divine power. If you really want to ask, then go to Kazuoin and see what the mute can say.

He may be a little lacking in ability, but he is very self-aware and tries his best to do his best wherever he can.

But Cohir's face was the same as Tyrion's, both serious.

"His Majesty the Phoenix King may be feeling Asur's premonition. As the incarnation of God, this is naturally good news to Asur. But His Majesty's duty is not only to convey Asur's will, but also to lead Asur forward. of the monarch.

But as a monarch, Fenuba has an obligation to come forward.

Alarielle obviously understood the meaning of Teclis' words. After hesitating for a moment, she chose to agree with this statement. A country cannot live without a king for a day.

Even if Finuba was really going to be a mascot, he would still have to show up at a critical moment, not to mention that he was leading the ceremony, so there was no reason for people to wait. But when it was time to open the courtyard door, it became a problem.

The gate of the Phoenix Royal Court is forged from star iron. If you want to force it open, you must first unlock the lock made of the same material.

The magical tool forged in the deepest part of Vaal's Anvil is so strong that even the Sun Sword, which is as sharp as iron as clay, would take the better part of a day to cut through.

Dracnir said that there is a way. Give me ten minutes and I can send a giant dragon blade from Caledor to ensure that I can see the Phoenix King's face before the ceremony begins.

Alarielle declined this unreliable idea. The Caledor kid didn't want to open the door, but wanted to smash the Phoenix King's courtyard with the dragon blade.

The queen asked Tigris, "Do you have a way to open the door?"

"The guardian magic of the Phoenix King's courtyard is fully responsible for the Great Mage Council of the White Tower of Hos. If Her Majesty the Queen allows, I can naturally unlock the iron lock of the gate."

"Thank you, sir."

Teclis nodded to express his understanding. He held the Moon Staff high and cast resonance magic with just one thought. This unbreakable fortress was as fragile to him as a paper shell.

With a click, the lock as heavy as a bell was unlocked smoothly, and the door automatically opened to people, revealing the lake and lawn in the courtyard to everyone's eyes.

Seeing the door open and several Phoenix guards with calm expressions standing on the lawn, Alarielle ordered the next step. No one dared to take responsibility, but with the Queen's instructions, it seemed to be extremely simple.

"Sir Kesil, could you please meet with His Majesty the Phoenix King together with the Supreme Mage and ask him to come forward immediately."

The rude remarks showed that the queen was not in a good mood right now. During the past five days, in order to deal with the aftermath of Draconir, she contacted a large number of influential nobles, just to get the final result as she wished.

"Yes."

"Ah."

After responding, the two walked into the courtyard side by side, leaving only the people waiting outside.

Drachnir shook his head imperceptibly and asked the black-haired man hiding behind him if he could sneak in smoothly. As the most deadly assassin among the elves, the Shadow King's stealth ability is undoubtedly the strongest.

Legend has it that even if the Shadow King walked into the Black Tower of Naggarond and passed in front of Malekith, the Witch King would only think that this was a Druzi who knew nothing about life and death, and would not suspect that he was an Avenger.

After meeting Aris Anar, Prince Caledor, who was still somewhat skeptical about his legend, no longer doubted the slightly exaggerated rumors.

The black-haired man also shook his head imperceptibly. If it were in the past, the Shadow King would be sure to enter the Phoenix King's courtyard.

But now, just standing outside the door, I feel a sense of oppression, as if once I enter the door, my every move is under surveillance.

The waiting time was extremely long. When Alarielle was already a little irritable, the sun had already crossed the central axis of the sky and set off towards dusk.

Maybe he really isn't suitable to be the Phoenix King...

Just as she was thinking, the person Alarielle was waiting for finally showed up, but unlike what was expected, the person who showed up with Tigris and Cohir was not Finuba, but Phoenix Guard Captain Ka Zhuo Yin.

Cohir's face was filled with extreme sorrow, and his posture when walking became very trance-like. This was simply unbelievable for a warrior.

Although the other two people were not like this, their heavy expressions also showed that something big happened in the courtyard.

"Where is His Majesty the Phoenix King?"

Upon hearing the queen's inquiry, Teclis sighed, lowered his eyebrows and said quietly,

"Your Majesty, he...is dead."
