Warhammer: Return of the Dragon.
Chapter 1148: The Jade Gate Incident
What was the result? Specifically, the Phoenix King had a good laugh.
In terms of strength, Elvis could defeat Agthel with some effort, but a duel was never a simple test of combat, but always a test of human nature.
If he wins here, Adonis will definitely not be in a good mood when he returns to Fengxiao City to prepare for the wedding.
Temporary face or lifelong happiness, Elvis considered for a long time and finally made the difficult choice of the latter.
A hard fight, a fierce battle, a bloody battle... a series of exaggerated adjectives made this competition infinitely dramatic. It was completely like Agsel chasing Elvis and beating him, like a rat crossing the street being told about his past scandals.
Many years later, when facing Elvis who had already given birth to his second child, Imrick would still think about this incident and miss the afternoon when Agsel beat him up.
Elvis's bruised face and nose caused Imrick to laugh at him: "Is it because the environment in Laurent Laurent Forest is too relaxing that your skills are not as good as before?"
"No, it's just..." Elvis glanced at his still angry uncle, and finally said stubbornly, "Nothing, I'm not as skilled as you, so I admit defeat."
"Haha." Imrik waved his hand, thinking that the relationship between the top nobles in Fengxiao City was really interesting, and each of them was a comedian.
After considering for a moment, and feeling that he had had fun, the Phoenix King decided not to embarrass Laurent Forest. After all, the Legion belonged to the Royal Court, and he couldn't be too embarrassed.
"Go talk to your uncle about the matter of the Val Church. The Royal Court will provide a portion of the funds as a construction subsidy... But don't expect the Dragon Palace to take over everything. After all, the Laurent Loren Forest is not under the management of Caledor."
Elvis was overjoyed. This was exactly what he was waiting for. Otherwise, the beating would have been in vain.
"I will contact the high priest immediately... Speaking of which, can I ask Priest Juan to return to Ulthuan and take charge of this matter?"
"I am the Phoenix King, and I am only responsible for stamping."
With just one sentence, the young couple disappeared in front of the Phoenix King and ran happily to the Caledo office, which made Imrik and Agthor speechless.
The Phoenix King asked the Lord of Wind Howl City in a teasing tone, "It seems that if Wycliffe knew that your nephew stood up for Anil, he would probably jump out of his grave and give him a beating."
“No denial…” Agthel sighed, then flew into a rage, pointing at Imrik: “This is all your fault! If he had stayed in the palace as a herald, would he have become such a traitor?!”
"But if I hadn't let him go, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to achieve such success. Let's see if you can fight against Kane's incarnation when you are your age?"
Agthel hesitated for a few words and said stubbornly, "This is cheating, he is not a pure dragon prince... No, he is a dragon prince.
After the wedding, follow me to the Vaal Anvil and put on the dragon armor immediately."
The Lord of Howling Wind City who left in a hurry made Imrick shake his head in silence. His territory was so large that it was difficult to find someone to talk to.
Looking at the group of guards and maids who were still waiting, Imrik waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the Emerald Gate. I want to inspect the situation of marine trade on the spot."
Phyllis was stunned and reminded: "But you still have to attend a museum visit. It's not appropriate to go to the Emerald Gate now."
"Why would I attend a museum exhibition that glorifies Itain's shameful military exploits? Am I disgusted that a simple victory is so hard to come by for anything other than the navy?" The Phoenix King's team quickly moved from the Royal Court to the Emerald Gate. As the first barrier to protect the inner circle, this legendary surface building has always been one of the symbols of Ulthuan. The behemoth towering over the strait makes visitors feel daunted.
Imrik once proposed that the Emerald Gate be demolished to show that Ulthuan would not fear any threat and to solve the problem of the high cost of maintaining the Emerald Gate.
After all, maintaining a magic gate built at the mouth of the strait requires the service of thousands of people, and countless wizards stay beside the magic circle at all times, just worried that accidents will occur and lead to the interruption of sea communication between the inner and outer rings.
This proposal was ultimately opposed by most kingdoms.
The reason is simple. The Phoenix King is sick again and wants to prove that he is capable of protecting Ulthuan.
Inside the Emerald Gate is a trading zone built along the coast. After being inspected by the Tritons, a constant stream of merchant ships transport precious items from all over the world to the port, intending to obtain huge profits from the most prosperous Lothern.
Since the idea of the triangular trade zone was proposed, it has not been successful for many years due to the obstruction of the Lothern Council. However, when the issue was brought up again in recent years, everyone was surprised to find that the profits involved were beyond imagination.
Responsibilities were divided among the various regions: Young Dragon Bay was responsible for receiving goods from the New World, the Drifting Islands were responsible for receiving goods from the Old World, Green Rock Harbor and Dusk Fortress, Sartosa and Dawn Fortress provided transshipment, which immediately transformed Ulthuan from being extremely rich to being a place with mountains of gold.
It is said that the price of land near the port area has increased from one gold leaf coin per square meter a hundred years ago to thirty, and the price is still rising.
As for the profits from selling land... Imrick has controlled this matter. Real estate seems good, but in the end it will only lead to rapid expansion of the real economy.
If an elf needs to take out a loan for 300 years to pay off even the purchase of a house, it would be better to just declare death. At least death would not be so painful, and entering the arms of Slaanesh would not be bad either.
The market manager in charge of this place, upon seeing the flag of the Phoenix King, immediately stopped his endless explanations to the vendors and quickly came before His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, I am Lori, the administrator of this trade zone... Are you planning to buy anything?"
Lori? Imrick subconsciously glanced at the administrator and found that she was indeed as her name suggested. She was small and had a delicate face, which made people feel a desire to protect her.
“No, I’m just strolling around. I’ve been in Lothern for so long, but I haven’t taken a close look at a city like this where the royal court is located. I’m really remiss.
Come to think of it...I seem to have seen you before, but I have forgotten exactly where."
Lori was embarrassed. As a courtier who had served Finubar for a long time, she was deeply impressed by Imrik.
After Prince Caledo was crowned, a large number of royal court officials were demoted, nominally for grassroots research, but in reality it was exile.
She vaguely remembered what the Phoenix King said that day.
"Congratulations on your graduation. The royal court has trained you for such a long time. It is time to give back to the entire elven race."
Loli kept smiling and explained, "Your Majesty... I am the former population statistics officer of the royal court..."
"Oh, it's you. No wonder I didn't remember you." (End of this chapter)
