Warhammer: Return of the Dragon.

"Your Highness, Antoine has obtained the support of Countess Altdorf... and she wrote back, expressing her hope to give her a chance."

"So this clown Antoine is really attracted to humans, relying on a little flashy painting skills."

Draconian raised his quill as if nothing had happened. Antoine was a criminal who was once imprisoned in Nagarythe. Although the process was interesting, he was imprisoned for stealing the Phoenix King.

Apparently, His Majesty had other plans for him. After returning from Nagarythe Dragon Farm, Antoine insisted on joining the Literary and Art Association in Avalon, and the Phoenix King apparently forgot that there was a lucky guy waiting to greet him.

This time the literary and art association went to the empire to perform, and the Dragon Court secretly contacted Antoine, hoping that he could gather some information with his pleasing mouth.

For example, the young earl who lost her father at a young age and was admired by many people in the empire, some people believed that there were many forces behind her...

"Maybe. Do I need to remind him of the mission assigned to him by the court?" Long Lin, as always, would only obey the arrangements of the two Caledo. If necessary, he would disguise himself as Antoine and get close to the young countess.

"Give him a month. If you can't find any connection between this earl and Bretonnia...you can take over then."

"Yes."

The so-called takeover was nothing more than disguising a conspiracy between the earl and his southern neighbors, using a more reasonable way to get Rick involved.

As for the man and woman who may have developed genuine interracial feelings, no one cares about their feelings.

"Battle situation."

"Except for the minor impact of the Nurgle plague on Bretonnia, everything is going according to plan."

Imrick wrote it off silently, because he thought that Morgul would have a more serious impact on humans, but he didn't expect it to be just some plague...

The Phoenix King did not ask about the number of deaths from the plague. This was meaningless to the top management. He only needed to know the affected areas and warn some overly reckless Dragon Princes to be careful not to create another Carlosi.

"What's going on in the palace? Dragon Scale seems to be deployed quite frequently recently."

North pondered for a while and finally shook his head to indicate that he was not sure. He and Dragon Scale belonged to two different systems. At most, they had some communication on some sensitive issues. The leader who was truly responsible for them was still in Caledor.

"I don't know yet. Long Lin has not contacted me about the recent tasks. Do I need to ask?"

The Phoenix King pondered for a moment. If he interfered too much, it would seem that he was overly concerned and had concerns about his son's rule.

"Keep an eye on those radicals. I don't want them to do anything stupid, especially the two brothers from Wind Howl City... What are the arrangements for later?"

"Madam has accepted Governor Sartosa's invitation for you to come visit this island city, and the Governor is ready for the tour."

"Ready?" Imrik laughed sarcastically. The governor must be the elf grandfather, but the current governor was a little funny. He was a pet chosen by the noble council after weighing all parties.

He has no obvious faction inclination, and he will immediately get involved in whichever issue has the upper hand in Caledo.

No one considers him as their own, but it is undeniable that he stands for his side quickly and accurately. He doesn't like him, but he doesn't hate him. He doesn't interfere with the normal flow of interests, but as long as one percent of Sartosa's revenue can flow into the governor's pocket, it is enough for him to gain great wealth and power.

“Turku suggested where I should visit first.”

"Ports and docks."

"Agreed, but I have to go to school."

An hour later, the governor who was waiting for the Phoenix King and the Prince received some bad news. The port and dock he had carefully prepared for a long time had no practical significance. Those workers who had received special guidance and knew the greatness of the Phoenix King could only continue their heavy labor instead of being called on by the Honorable Caledo for questioning.

"This is truly... Your Majesty's style." The governor waved his hand and no longer had any interest in taking these royal court officials on a tour. He just did what he had to do. If they were caught with some evidence, the reputation he had accumulated in the first half of his life would not lead to a tragic end.

The Old World has been in turmoil lately, and it would be best if the court replaced a new governor so that he could return to Ulthuan to retire with the wealth he had accumulated over decades.

At the edge of the city, far away from the palace, the disguised Phoenix King team has begun to inspect the school.

In colonial management, education is of paramount importance. The Dragon Court will customize a set of effective and appropriate education methods based on local social customs, but no matter what, it is ultimately a set of education that creates a sense of identity with the rulers.

The literacy campaign has long ended. The resources consumed in educating one illiterate person and educating millions of illiterate people are completely different. And it is a pipe dream to expect all these millions of illiterate people to recognize the profound and difficult elven runes.

Knowledge is monopolized in the hands of the powerful, and the right to speak means a special status. Rich and powerful families always want their children to move up a level, break through the status of the lower class, and deal with the noble elf grandfather. Even if they only get a position in the government, they can be considered respectable people in society.

Humans have many worries, but elves have very few. In order to sympathize with the elves who work hard to serve the kingdom in the colonies, the community will specially establish orthodox Ulthuan educational institutions so that the elves who come from afar can work with peace of mind.

For example, the academy where the Phoenix King is currently located does not cover a large area, but the architecture inside is very elegant, with fountains, arches, sculptures, and occasionally some small glimmering insects fly by, making it like an alternative kingdom in the slums.

"I thought you would choose to visit the human school." Atila gently stroked the sculpture at the school gate. According to the tradition of Caledo, this place is naturally guarded by the guardians of knowledge... the dragon tamer and Hoss.

"This is not a simple school..." Imrick smiled mysteriously and called Creon to pull the little kid hiding in the corner over.

Although he didn't know what these compatriots wanted, the little elf boy still slowly walked to the front of the unknown big man under the friendly gaze of the Flame Knight.

"Kid, do you know who this is?" Imrik pointed at the ancestor in robes standing at the gate. Although his face was slightly different from the portrait in the palace, everyone knew that no one wanted to see the sour face of the Caledo family.

The child smiled disdainfully, clenched his right fingers in front of his chest and shook them a few times: "Kaleto Dragon Tamer."

Imrick nodded with satisfaction, but Atila looked strange and asked again in the Elvish language that couldn't be more standard: "Kaleto?"

"Yes, Calleto." The child shook his clenched fingers again, emphasizing that he could not be wrong.

"This..." Atila's eyes moved between the statue and the child. Elves do not need to use gestures to assist in communicating information. A familiar person can often express a short sentence with just a glance.

The child was not satisfied and pointed to the altar on the right side of the gate: "This is the altar of Hoss, and the largest Hoss altar in the world is in Safri."

Facing Atila's somewhat collapsed look, Imrick let the little brat play by himself, which made the princess unhappy. She would eat the child later. (End of this chapter)
