Chapter 1131 The First Contact Between the Two Empires
What Arkhan left behind is a mystery.
But after Settra learned that Nagash's remains had entered the Black Tower, the Immortal Emperor immediately woke up from the grand tomb and ordered the priests to track down the descendants.
Settra always believed that all the tragedies in Nehekhara originated from Nagash. It was this unscrupulous descendant who used evil magic to break the immortal emperor's dream of rebirth.
A chase and investigation soon emerged due to the actions of the priests. When it was clear what happened in Lahmia, Settra was surprised to find that the elves had also had a hand in it.
The immortal emperor, sitting on the throne in the mausoleum, picked up the papyrus with his finger bones and watched everything in detail.
"Prince Dracnir of Caledor...is he the descendant of the current Phoenix King?"
The loyal herald Nekaf nodded in awe. He had already heard the name of Prince Caledor, but the emperor who had just woken up might not have the impression of what had just happened in the world.
"The eleventh Phoenix King Imric, who claims to inherit the mantle of Guardian Aenarion, is the king of all elves."
"The lord of all the elves...so the evil wizard-king of the dark elves is dead."
"Malekith died under the ax of the white dwarf, and he called himself Snorri Whitebeard at the time."
White dwarf...
Even Settra has heard the name of the white dwarf, the first High King Snorri Whitebeard.
Settra gently tapped the golden armrest. He was an extremely arrogant person. Even from the perspective of a king, the Immortal Emperor stubbornly believed that most kings in the world were usurpers.
But as the ruler of an empire, he also clearly understood that disrespecting the title would be disrespectful to the empire and disrespectful to God.
In the eyes of the Immortal Emperor, there are only four countries that can truly be called the emperor.
The Mountain Kingdom, Cathay, Nehekhara...the elven empire before the split.
As for the Sigma Empire? How can a group of northern barbarians understand the glory of the empire? It is just a united force of barbarians with their own agendas, far from being called an empire.
"Nekav, how long has it been since Khemri received guests?"
"Since you entered the imperial mausoleum, there have been no visitors."
"Very good." Settra nodded and made an unexpected decision.
"In my name, I invite the Phoenix King of the Elf Empire to come to Khemri."
This incident caused Imric, who hurriedly returned to Lothern from Naggaroth, to rest his chin on his hand and become speechless.
The envoy, whose corpse was in good condition, recited the title of the Immortal Emperor meticulously.
"King of Kings, Pathfinder, Bearer of the Sacred Fire, Punisher of the Nomads, Great Unifier, Commander of the Golden Legion, Divine Face, Bringer of Light, Father of Falcons... "
The special envoy read for ten minutes, but his chattering tone made it clear that it was still not over.
After taking a deep breath, Imric waved his hand to forcefully interrupt the mummy's speech, "I know your monarch's title is very long...but now back to business, Settra doesn't want to come to the Phoenix Court. Declare his majesty.”
The envoy was a little annoyed at being interrupted. He just got excited from his righteous thoughts and thought that the elven monarch would definitely be afraid of the glory of Nehekhara.
But he was still a little dissatisfied with being forcibly interrupted.
"Phoenix King, before the two countries communicate, each other must understand their identities. I am following a sacred obligation."
"I know, I know, Settra, the Eternal Lord of Nehekhara, is that enough?"
When a monarch of another empire said this, it had two different meanings than when it was said by an ordinary person. If someone perfunctoryly only addressed the emperor by a single title, the envoy would consider it an insult.
But since the Lord of Ulthuan is so wise and knows how to praise the name of the Eternal Lord, the envoy can forget about it.
"Of course, but I need to clarify that he is the King of Kings and the Trailblazer..."
Imrik, who was already a little impatient, felt that the mummy's brain was not working properly because it had been dead for too long, so he asked the Supreme Mage to brainwash him with a mental shock.
After a mental shock, the special envoy's mind became clearer.
He bowed his head with regret, "I think the wine from Ulthuan made me too intoxicated, which made me act rude in front of you... This time, the wine that the Immortal Emperor gave to the Phoenix King was given to the Phoenix King together with His Majesty. Enter the sacred liquid of the tomb and you will be satisfied. ”
Four thousand years of wine is still buried with the dead... Can this thing be drunk?
Imrik didn't want to explore the brain circuits of these dead people, "Stop all the useless nonsense, you just need to explain your purpose."
The envoy looked calm, "His Majesty Settra, the Eternal Lord of Nehekhara, invites the Phoenix King of Ulthuan to come to Khemri for a reunion. The two empires should have more contact in order to protect the mortal world invaded by dark forces. "
An invitation from Nehekhara?
Imric frowned and recalled that the elves had many contacts with Nehekhara, but the most important thing was Druzi who taught Nagash magic.
But the Phoenix King... To be honest, which Phoenix King would hit his thoughts on a bunch of dead people. The bones are hard to chew, and all they bite off is sand.
There was not much contact between the two parties, both were busy with their own affairs.
The only contact I have now... is probably about Nagash.
Settra must have found the trace of Drachnir and thought that I was behind it...
After thinking for a long time, Imric put his hand on his temple and said, "I can already feel Settra's respect. I currently need to deal with many matters of the Phoenix Court, and it is inconvenient to travel to Nehekhara...
My heir, now Dracnir, Prince of Caledor, will travel on my behalf. "
"But he is not the next Phoenix King and cannot represent the Elf Empire."
The special envoy's words attracted the attention of the Flameborn knights present. Who said that Dracnir could not be the next Phoenix King? We Caledor must continue the glorious tradition and be re-elected for the second time.
"But he is my son. Doesn't the child represent the father in Nehekhara's concept?"
This is a sophistry technique. The key lies in whether the person Settra wants to invite is Imric or the Phoenix King.
After thinking for a long time, the special envoy reluctantly agreed with this statement. After all, the political model of the elves was a bit confusing.
But it doesn't matter, just like the land owned by the father will be inherited by the son, although it is somewhat derogatory to the immortal emperor, it is also in line with etiquette for Draconir to travel on his behalf.
Many times, children are used as tools and excuses.
As the envoy left, he continued to enjoy the wine of Ulthuan.
Imric waved his hand and said, "Phoenix Guards, let Kadron lead the Phoenix Guards to Sartosa. If Draknir loses a hair in Khemri, Asuryan Guards The number will be cancelled." (End of this chapter)
