Chapter 228 Royal Court Decree
Lin Qi is not a reckless man who does not understand the Asur political system. The direct rulers of the major kingdoms of Ulthuan are the princes of each country.
The soldiers' eyes will only follow the elven prince who fights with them, not the illusory commander of the royal court.
Once you enter the Phoenix King's Court, all kinds of court conspiracies will definitely follow.
Lynch doesn't like trouble.
The great wizard did not ask any more questions, as if he had let go of something.
The Asur fleet sailed towards Lothern in a mighty manner, and no pirate was brave enough to face the Asur force.
It took Lynch a short time to get familiar with the soldiers, especially the sentinels of Iris.
Although the lizardmen are taciturn, the elves seem to be satisfied with Lynch's attitude. In their stereotype, this is how cold-blooded people should be, powerful and mysterious.
The high elves who had faced off against Druzil on the battlefield talked about old stories on the sea. The Triton recalled with some emotion the fierce maritime trade decades ago.
At that time, countless gold flowed into Lothern every day, and more Asur spices and gems flowed out overseas.
The shadow of the Dread Fleet drove all of this away, and the undead took less than a year to destroy the prosperity that had lasted for hundreds of years.
Although in more ancient times, the Norsemen also tirelessly harassed merchant ships.
At that time, Ulthuan had to fight off Norscan invasions several times a day.
The oldest Triton jokingly spoke of the most impressive enemy, which was less than fifty Norscans.
When he and the prince welcomed the guests on the longship, tens of thousands of sea guards blocked all landing coastlines.
He expected a bloody battle, but the enemy was just a small number of Norscans.
Those hairless monkeys were indeed brave, and even dozens of them dared to charge towards the Wanhaiwei.
But this bravery is of no avail.
Amid Asur's laughter, Lynch found out what was happening in Ulthuan.
Barbarian attacks have become much less frequent in the last millennium because the Grand Mage of the White Tower, Belanna the Wise, has summoned the mists surrounding the island of Ulthuan. This apprentice of Bel-King Hades has become the second most powerful wizard among the High Elves' remaining wizards.
Before Teclis came to prominence, he firmly held the position of the foremost wizard.
A magical mist protected the island of Ulthuan, and few Druki or Norscans were able to break through it and land.
This made Ulthuan a blessed place like the Forest of Athel Loren, though of course the magic of the Oak of Ages far surpassed the works of mortal wizards.
Lynch left the chatting warriors and walked around the huge dragon ship.
This backward sailing ship was almost as big as the aircraft carrier in Lynch's memory. Asul was not an expert in the art of gunpowder, but his attainments in classical literature had reached the pinnacle.
Standing at the sharp horn of the dragon boat, Lynch looked out at the sea.
The slender eagle ship guards the dragon ship. The eagle ship has three masts, a huge eagle head carved on the bow, and a giant crossbow built at the bow and stern.
Many eagle ships had platforms for dragons to land, but now there was only an empty surface left.
More eagle ships were equipped with a wizard tower, and the most exaggerated Safuri eagle ship even carried four.
It was they that resisted the storm of dark magic from the rat-men warlocks, and the power of magic filled the Asur ship, making Lynch feel refreshed with every breath.
Further away, there were no merchant ships coming and going, only pirate ships that occasionally showed up, and the flags they flew could prove their identities.
Of course, they can also be merchant ships when necessary.
The pirates had no intention of traveling with Asur. They were like headless flies, and due to limited vision, they crashed into the territorial waters of Asur's fleet. When they saw the huge outlines of the dragon ships and eagle ships, the rational pirates retreated in a hurry.
Lothern, Phoenix Court.
The princes and advisers of the parliament discussed the great victory at sea. From time to time, messengers respectfully stepped into the palace to convey news from the expedition fleet to the nobles and the Elf King.
The development of things was not quite what the nobles expected.
"The magic swordsman Teclis rejected the visit request from Lustria without authorization?"
The Prince of Terenlock distorted the meaning of the interrogator's words, and the Phoenix King's mage advisor refuted the prince's ideas.
"No, the residents of Lustria are still practicing the theories of the Old Saints. Unless they obtain permission, the elves cannot privately start large-scale exchanges with the Lizardmen."
Many princes of the kingdom discussed countermeasures with each other in disappointment, as they desperately needed to open trade channels with Lustria.
Avalon rarely sent an envoy to participate in the meeting. No doubt, the princes' blatant defiance of the Everqueen's ban angered the Lord of Avalon.
Although the ministers of Cosqui, Itain, Safri, and Terenlock have different purposes, they all desire to communicate with Lustria.
The Kingdom of Iris chose to remain neutral, and the prince traveled between the countries to ease the tense atmosphere.
The kingdoms of Chrace and Caledor had given up the discussion. The envoys from Lustria had little to do with them. They were more concerned about the changes on the island of Ulthuan.
Nagareth had no participants, so he was considered to have abstained.
Phoenix King Finubar listened quietly to the ministers' discussion and grasped the desires of each elf.
After the princes politely asked the Avalon ambassador to leave, the Phoenix King drafted another order.
Finubar only needs to maintain a good relationship with the cold-blooded people. Maybe there won’t be too much profit in the short term, but this is a long-term deal.
They are both members of an ancient race, friends of Archmage Teclis of the White Tower of Saphiri, and comrades who have fought alongside the expeditionary forces of various nations.
Guests of Lustria have the right to come and go freely in Lothern, without having to be trapped in special zones like dwarves, humans and other races.
Dwarves are also an ancient race, but the Asur nobles tacitly ignored this small omission.
In the vast ocean, in just a few days, Lynch received nearly a hundred hints from Ossuan.
The Phoenix Court seemed to be afraid that the cold-blooded creatures would just pass through Lothern without stopping.
Teclis imitated the anxious posture of the communicator during magical communication.
He almost made Lynch laugh, an emotion the cold-blooded man was about to forget.
Finally, Lynch decided to stop by and watch Asur's triumph ceremony.
If Ulthuan is suitable for the cold-bloods to stay in, the Thoros Legion can temporarily stay in Ulthuan.
Of course, don't even think about asking him to participate in Asur's court politics. The elves are keen on power struggles, and the cold-blooded people have no interest in it at all.
He needed to find a reliable nobleman, perhaps Prince Iris was a good choice. The Kingdom of Iris was trapped by the tide of magic, and demons often appeared in the fog covering the land.
Coldbloods are good at dealing with demons, they are old rivals.
