Warhammer: Return of the Dragon.

What Arkhan left behind is a mystery.

But when Settra learned that Nagash's remains had entered the Black Tower, the Immortal Emperor immediately awoke from his great mausoleum and ordered the priests to track down his descendants.

Settra always believed that all the tragedies in Nehekhara were caused by Nagash, and that it was this unworthy descendant who used evil magic to shatter the Immortal Emperor's dream of rebirth.

A chase and investigation soon broke out under the actions of the priests. After clearly finding out what happened in Lahmia, Settra was surprised to find that the elves were also involved.

The immortal emperor, sitting on the throne in the mausoleum, picked up the papyrus with his finger bones and watched everything from beginning to end in detail.

"Prince Draknir of Caledor... Is he the heir of the current Phoenix King?"

The loyal herald Nekaf nodded in awe. He had heard of the name of Prince Caledor, but the emperor, who had just woken up, might not have had much impression of what had just happened in the world.

"The eleventh Phoenix King, Imrik, claims to be the successor of the Guardian Aenarion and the monarch of all elves."

"The Lord of all Elves... So, the evil Witch King of the Dark Elves is dead."

"Malekith died at the hands of the White Dwarf's axe, calling himself Snorri Whitebeard."

White dwarf?

Even Settra had heard of the name of the White Dwarf, the first High King Snorri Whitebeard.

Settra tapped lightly on the golden armrest. He was an extremely arrogant man. Even from the perspective of a king, the Immortal Emperor stubbornly believed that most of the kings in the world were usurpers.

But as the ruler of an empire, he also clearly understood that if he disrespected the title, he would be disrespecting the empire and God.

In the eyes of the Immortal Emperor, there are only four countries that are truly worthy of the title of emperor.

The Kingdom of Mountains, the Kingdom of Cathay, Nehekhara... the elven empire before it split.

As for the Sigma Empire? How could a group of northern barbarians understand the glory of the empire? It was just a force of barbarians with different thoughts, far from being an empire.

"Nekaf, how long has it been since Khemri had guests?"

"Since you entered the imperial mausoleum, no guests have visited us."

"Very good." Setra nodded and made an unexpected decision.

"In my name, invite the Phoenix King of the Elven Empire to come to Khemri."

This incident caused Imrik, who hurried back to Lothern from Naggaroth, to support his chin with his hands, speechless.

The envoy, whose body was well preserved, recited the title of the Immortal Emperor meticulously.

"King of Kings, Pathfinder, Wielder of Sacred Fire, Punisher of Nomads, Great Unifier, Commander of the Golden Legion, Divine Face, Bringer of Glory, Father of Falcons..."

The envoy recited for a full ten minutes, but his incessant tone made it clear that it was not over yet.

After taking a deep breath, Imrik waved his hand to forcibly interrupt the mummy's speech. "I know your monarch's title is very long... but now let's get back to business. Settra is not thinking of coming to the Phoenix Court to declare his majesty."

The envoy was a little annoyed at being interrupted. He was so excited that he thought the elven monarch would definitely fear the glory of Nehekhara.

But he was still somewhat dissatisfied with being forcibly interrupted.

"Phoenix King, before our two nations can interact, we must understand each other's identities. I am following a sacred duty." "I know, I know, Settra, the Eternal Lord of Nehekhara, is that enough?"

When a monarch of another empire says this, it has a different meaning from when an ordinary person says it. If someone just perfunctorily calls the emperor by his title, the envoy would consider it an insult.

But since the Lord of Ulthuan was sensible enough to praise the name of the Eternal King, the envoy let bygones be bygones.

"Of course, but I need to clarify that it is the King of Kings, the Trailblazer..."

Imrick was already getting a little impatient. He felt that the mummy's brain was not very sharp because he had been dead for too long. He signaled to the Supreme Mage to give him a mental shock to brainwash him.

After a mental shock, the envoy's mind became clearer.

He bowed his head in regret. "I suppose the wine of Ulthuan was too intoxicating for me to behave so disrespectfully in front of you... The wine that the Immortal Emperor gave to the Phoenix King this time is a sacred liquid that will be taken into the mausoleum with Your Majesty. You will surely be satisfied."

Four thousand years old wine, buried with the dead... Can you drink this stuff?

Imrick didn't want to explore the train of thought of these dead men. "Stop all the useless nonsense. Just state your purpose."

The envoy said calmly, "His Majesty Settra, the Eternal Lord of Nehekhara, invites the Phoenix King of Ulthuan to meet with us in Khemri. The two empires should have more contacts to protect the mortal world from the invasion of dark forces."

An invitation from Nehekhara?
Imrik frowned as he recalled that the elves' contact with Nehekhara was not much, but the most important thing was that they taught Druzie the magic of Nagash.

But the Phoenix King... Honestly speaking, which Phoenix King would want to attack a bunch of dead people? Bones are hard to chew, and when you bite them off, all you get is sand.

The two sides did not have much contact as they were both busy with their own affairs.

The only contact so far... is probably about Nagash.

Setra must have found Draknir and thought I was behind it...

After thinking for a long time, Imrik put his hand on his temple and said, "I have already felt Settra's respect. I need to deal with many matters in the Phoenix Court at present, so it is inconvenient for me to go to Nehekhara...

My son, now Draconir, Prince of Caledor, will serve in my stead."

"But he is not the next Phoenix King and cannot represent the Elf Empire."

The envoy's words drew the attention of the Flame Knights present. Who said that Draconir could not be the next Phoenix King? We, Caledor, will continue the glorious tradition and run for a second term.

"But he is my son. In Nehekhara terms, does a child not represent his father?"

This is a trick of sophistry. The key lies in whether Settra wants to invite Imrik or the Phoenix King.

After considering for a long time, the envoy reluctantly agreed with this statement. After all, the elves' political model was a bit confusing.

But it didn't matter, just as the land owned by the father would be inherited by the son, although Draconir's travel on his behalf was somewhat disparaging to the Immortal Emperor, it was also in accordance with etiquette.

Many times, children are used as tools and excuses.

As the envoy left, he continued to enjoy the fine wine of Ulthuan.

Imrick waved his hand without waiting for Phyllis to nag, and said, "Phoenix Guard, let Kadrain lead the Phoenix Guard to Sartosa. If Draknir loses a hair in Khemri, the number of Asuryan Guard will be cancelled." (End of this chapter)
