Warhammer: Return of the Dragon.

Imrick was strolling in the trade area and was soon attracted by some strange things.

It was well known that the Phoenix King had very discerning tastes, and the Empire would send a batch of gifts every ten years to show respect to its allies.

Kislev, the High Court...are also very concerned about this, and the royal treasury is filled with precious treasures from the old world.

If you want to interest His Majesty, the first condition is that it must be weird and interesting enough, such as a weird totem from a wild land...

Of course, such things do not usually flow into Ulthuan.

The Zhendan merchant held up a piece of pottery with strange runes on it and explained the origin of the object in his half-baked Elvish.

"This item is the painstaking work of the Zhendan Dan Ding Master. It is made from precious clay from the wild sand sea, and is fired in a furnace for 40 days to eliminate evil spirits and burn everything.

It is indeed a rare treasure. If Your Majesty is interested..."

Imrick, who held up the pottery, raised his eyebrows and responded in fluent Zhendan language: "Zhengde, do you want to give it to me?"

Unexpectedly, the Phoenix King actually understood Zhendan language. Although his pronunciation was not standard and was mixed with a barbarian accent, the merchant was already surprised.

"That is what I am thinking. If Your Majesty does not object, I will offer this bottle to the sacred Phoenix King to show the respect of the people of Zhendan to you."

"Respect? Haha..." Imrik chuckled thoughtfully. He had already sent a special envoy to Zhendan, but the other party's reply was also very simple.

Those barbarians, they understand the majesty of the Dragon Emperor and should be personally informed.

The general meaning is to let the Phoenix King go to Zhendan in person. Don't think that the two countries have an equal relationship. You are not worthy of it.

If it were in the past, Imrik would not have mentioned it any more, but as a monarch, how could he do nothing after being ignored?

Imrick put down the pottery and signaled Creon to pay the merchant. I don't bring money, but that doesn't mean I like to take things for free.

Wandering around the trade zone, I felt as if I had never seen the world before, surrounded by all kinds of strange and weird things.

Especially when he saw some extremely rare and precious accessories, Imrick paid rare attention to the maid's mood and bought all the ones he thought were good-looking.

However, while strolling around, he was always thinking about the Zhendan people he first met.

Come to think of it, it’s time to have direct contact with Zhendan... If the world line is as expected, there are only a hundred years left before the end of time. The Dragon Emperor should not be forced to flee on a warp ship by a bunch of greenskins...

This doubt made Imrik hastily end his idea of ​​​​wandering around on the street and summoned Tyrion, who was fooling around somewhere, to the royal court.

When Brother Tai entered the royal court, he was carrying with him an extremely subtle fragrance.

A person who has lived on the battlefield for a long time will naturally not have this kind of strange smell. Imrik's smile became more subtle. It seems that Tai Ge is taking the lead for his younger brother to strengthen the bloodline of Aenarion.

The meeting place was not in the hall, which made Tyrion look very relaxed. He poured himself a glass of wine and said with emotion.

"It is hard to understand why some people would seek to enjoy crude physical pleasures when Ulthuan is in danger. We should despise such things... We must control this corrupt social atmosphere."

"If you could cover up the smell of your perfume, I think it would be more convincing... Fortunately, there are not many maids in the royal court, otherwise you would have ruined them all."

Imrick took the wine glass from Tyrion jokingly. Tyrion's charm needs no further explanation. Apart from his paranoid and irritable personality, he perfectly fits the image of a warrior in the elven society, not to mention his handsome face that is exactly the same as Cain's. Out of curiosity, the Phoenix King asked the Supreme Mage if his brother looked like a girl when he was a child.

The answer is yes, Tyrion was indeed too handsome when he was a child.

Tyrion shook his head and smiled. "I dare not touch the maids of the royal court. Maybe after just a few words today, the Council of Nobles of Caledor will send a commissioner to ask you tomorrow. Do you have any ideas about us Caledor women? Get away from me."

The lifelike tone made Imrik smile. There were a total of four maids in the royal court.

Like Phyllis, they are actually female officials. There is still a big difference between servants and attendants. Taige does not dare to act casually on the female heirs of the famous families in Kaled.

"Well, sometimes I really envy you for having so much energy to confide in a girl..."

"The few female dragons in your family are already enough of a headache. If you look for more, Etila might drive the Dusk Wheel into Lothern."

“I don’t deny this point of view… It turns out that Etila is a qualified wife, provided that she can change her princess-like temperament at home.

It really puzzles me, because she always acts like a gentle mother in front of Draknir, but becomes a mother dragon when she talks to me.

"Because she is your wife."

"Hahaha, yes."

As the two laughed and joked about the past, Imrick also talked about serious matters.

"Regarding Zhendan...what do you think?"

"Zhendan?" Tyrion was stunned. He had already mentioned the idea of ​​going to Zhendan, but Imrik had only asked a few questions about it before, and he thought it was a normal trip.

"You also heard Zhendan's reply before... The arrogant Far East Empire wants me to go and pay homage to the Dragon Emperor in person. Although I may have some connection with him, it doesn't seem appropriate to do so in the name of paying homage."

"Of course you are the monarch of the Elven Empire. How could you possibly pay homage to the monarch of human monkeys? Even if the Dragon Emperor is a powerful dragon, he cannot change this reality.

It is right that Cathay should come to Ulthuan to pay homage to us, for we once ruled this world, and the monkeys should revere the spirits who are far older and more powerful than themselves."

Tai Ge is a person with traditional ideas. On the one hand, he once believed that the rise of human beings is inevitable, and from now on there will be many bipedal animals in the world.

On the other hand, there is the arrogance rooted in the blood. The Curse of Cain has disappeared, but some subconsciousness rooted in the soul has not disappeared. Elves should be nobler than other races.

"Calm down, I don't have much opinion on this statement...but it is necessary for Ulthuan to have formal contact with the empire of Cathay.

Originally, I was going to let Draconir do this. He is Prince Caledor and my son. It would be perfect for him to meet the Dragon Emperor as a junior.

But as you can see, he is still busy with the Undead War in Nehekhara and has no time to travel to the Far East."

"So?" Tyrion thought to himself, do you want me to be the Dragon Emperor's son?

Imrick nodded, "So you, my honorable descendant of Aenarion, are the best person to go to Cathay." (End of this chapter)
