Chapter 987 High King Snorri Whitebeard
Regardless of the thoughts behind their respective words, the white dwarf's decision to go to Lothern has not changed.
He chose to set out lightly, taking only Agrim and a few Hammer Warriors with him.
The white dwarf, who was extremely distrustful of magic, did not agree to the convenient teleportation method proposed by Arao. Instead, he ordered a fast boat and floated along the ocean current to Lothern.
Although this clipper also has a lot of magical protection, the dwarves believe that this tangible thing is much more reliable than the spells recited from the pointed ears and mouths.
Because of the white dwarf's temporary decision, Imric had no choice but to leave Tal Kaled.
Although the effect of easing the conflicts between the two races with Thor Green was good, Mustache never determined the nature of this matter, and canceled all the entries about Asul in the Book of Hatred with one stroke of his pen.
As for the white dwarf Grimblindel, his prestige can completely make a decision on this matter. Not only will the relationship between the two clans return to the honeymoon period of the golden age, at least he will not insert the battle ax/spear when they meet. into the opponent's skull.
Setting off for Lothern with them was Bloxon on a transport ship. The weirdo had returned to the New World before the army of ancestors set off, preparing to give a big gift when the ancestors officially settled accounts with the Oathbreakers.
Taking into account the special identity of the white dwarves, Alagir, as the special envoy of the Phoenix King, specifically asked Agrim whether the person visiting Lothern this time was Grim Brindel, the strongest warrior of the dwarves, or the first-generation High King Si Nori Whitebeard.
The two different identities will allow the Phoenix Royal Court to decide what etiquette to use to welcome the white dwarf, and will also set the tone of the meeting.
The former is just talking about the reckoning with Malekith, the army of the ancestors, while the latter is the leader of one race talking to the leader of another race.
As for Thor Green, the current actual co-owner of the dwarves, I am sorry that after the white dwarf informed the truth, as the High King of Snorri's direct bloodline, he has obediently handed over the decision-making power, and can make his own decisions on all matters entrusted to the ancestors and Asur in advance. .
Agrim responded that it was the latter, and the white dwarf would visit the Phoenix Court in Lothern in the name of the first High King Snorri Whitebeard.
After learning the news, Draconir arranged for two giant dragons to escort the whole process at sea, and arranged a whole team of white lion guards at the Emerald Gate where the white dwarves were about to land. Judging from the greeting alone, they were full of sincerity. .
The white dwarves who arrived in Lothern didn't care about the humble words of the greeters. They said that they were tired from the journey and should go to the palace to rest? Only a useless mustache is always craving for enjoyment.
The white dwarf in military uniform did not have the temperament of a high king at all. He jumped on the guardrail of the harbor and grabbed the collar of the envoy. He glared at the sharp ears with an angry glare like a bell, and roared like thunder, which seemed to pierce the eardrums of the elf. .
"Take me to see your Phoenix King, now, immediately!"
The envoy with a good attitude did not feel panic. He had dealt with dwarves a lot and did not expect that their king might have a good temper.
"Ahem, there is no Phoenix King in Ulthuan now, but if you want to see His Majesty Imric, please go to the Phoenix King's Court. His Majesty has been waiting for a long time."
The vague use of the title only made the white dwarves feel that the elves were a bunch of hypocritical things. They had already become the emperor in fact, but they still made a great wish to be crowned in the ruins of the Black Tower of Naggarond. As expected, the pointed ears were all the same.
He pushed away the envoy's body and turned to look at Agrim.
The Butcher is an important figure in this trip. Agrim, who has spent some time in the elven army, can analyze the specific situation from some details. The white dwarf needs to know whether Imric is ready to launch a decisive battle against Malekith in a short time. , or formed a separatist trend in Ulthuan, using Druchi as a training ground for gaining experience.
The upright Agrim shook his head solemnly. He had looked around many times, relying on the Druzi spy experience that some Dragon Princes boasted about to determine whether there were assassins near the port.
But no matter how you look at it, the guards near the port are extremely strict and cautious. The white lion guards, who are most likely to be assassins, are surrounded by dragon halberd guards in a subtle formation. If there is any abnormal movement, they will be immediately besieged and strangled, let alone the head. The intimidating power of two giant dragons.
The white dwarf sighed. Apparently Agrim didn't understand what he wanted to express. He could only sigh that the Balaag family of the Butcher King was all the same. It was only because of Grimnir and Varaya that it could be passed down to this day. Favored.
Although he was visiting in the name of the first High King, without the Throne of Power, the Book of Great Hatred, or the Dragon Crown of Karak, the welcoming team was indeed a bit shabby. There were no flowers or music to pave the way. After the white dwarf expressed his thoughts , but a team of more than two hundred people rushed straight to the Phoenix King's Court in a rampage manner.
The Phoenix Court is very heavily guarded. After Drachnir took over and Tyrion disappeared, most of the guards have changed from Etain elves to Caledorian soldiers. From time to time, there are dragon princes riding tall horses along the road. While patrolling, the tall magic tower shone towards the ground from time to time.
When arriving at Imric's location, the envoy explained the situation to the Flameborn Knight and then left voluntarily. The next thing was not a reception item.
As long as the talks between the two parties do not break down, this success alone in connecting the first Supreme King to the Phoenix Court will leave a strong mark on his resume and secure a good position in the upcoming reorganization of the Phoenix Court's bureaucracy.
The Flameborn knight first carefully observed the appearance and characteristics of the dozen dwarves. Without any concern for the so-called diplomatic etiquette, he slightly lowered his head and raised a magic stone to let the mage in charge of vigilance confirm that these people were not happy people disguised as Tzeentch demons.
After a not tedious but very effective inspection, the Flame Knight nodded and confirmed the identity of the visitor as a white dwarf. His tone was not harsh, but it was definitely not a welcome invitation.
"You and Agrim can go in, while the rest of the people are waiting outside."
This is not a normal diplomatic choice. The Hammer Guards who came with the white dwarves are all important members of the big clans of each mountain fortress. Based on Ulthuan's status and hierarchy, they can also be called princes.
The white dwarf did not rush to refute. He glanced at Agrim. After receiving a positive answer, he smiled sarcastically,
"Should I leave the battle ax outside? Is your Phoenix King so cowardly that he is afraid of being assassinated by a group of dwarves in the heart of his rule?"
"You and Agrim can do what you want, we won't do useless things like body searches, and..." The Flameborn Knight looked back at the silent and empty palace, and said with a hint.
"There are only Prince Caledor and his son in the palace, and I believe you don't want a group of dwarves who can only grumble and complain to interrupt normal and rational conversations." (End of Chapter)
