Chapter 3 Succession Ceremony
Five days later, the succession ceremony of Prince Caledor began in the Dragon Palace.
A few dozen giant dragons put away their huge wings and walked into the palace designed for them. The leading dragon was none other than the current leader of the dragons in Caledor, the first generation Phoenix King Aina.
The legendary Shining Star Dragon Minas Nir is the son of Rio's partner Indra Gurnir.
The succession of every Prince of Caledor requires dragons to witness. Sometimes the leader of the dragons will become the most important partner in the dragon lord's life, and this time Minas Nir is here to announce this fact.
Imrik, standing in the center of the palace, was surrounded by dragon princes. The succession ceremony of the dragon lord did not require a choir and various gorgeous music. The roar of the dragons and the war cry of the dragon princes would be this.
The best symphony for a ceremony.
Imric, wearing the legendary Caledor armor, is waiting for the ceremony to begin. The succession ceremony of each prince needs to be witnessed by people from other kingdoms, and the Phoenix King will also send special envoys, but now there is a little surprise
Condition.
Steward Morris wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurried to Imric from the palace gate. He had served the Dragon Tamer family loyally for more than five hundred years. His calm character made him popular with the late king and Imric.
Mrik's appreciation, but now, he encountered something that made him panic.
He picked up the gilded registration book in his hand, walked to Imric, lowered his head, and said in a panic, "Your Highness, there are still a few envoys from the kingdom who have not arrived."
The surrounding dragon princes who heard this couldn't suppress the anger in their hearts, and their armors creaked due to the range of their movements. This ceremony was supposed to be held when the sun was at its strongest, and now it was almost time to hold it.
, and these people haven’t arrived yet, one can imagine the reason.
Seeing this situation, Morris seemed a little panicked. It was difficult for him, who was not good at martial arts, to resist the murderous intent of these battle-hardened dragon princes. As the person in charge of the succession ceremony, it was difficult for him to maintain his previous attitude.
Calm.
Waving his hand to signal them to calm down, Imric asked Maurice, but did not directly ask which kingdoms had not arrived, "Which kingdoms have arrived?"
"I swear as a descendant of the Dragon Tamer family, I will defend the lives of the dragons of Caledor to the death."
Putting on his crown, Imric slowly sat on the Dragon Claw Throne and looked at the palace in front of him. Only half of the seats in the magnificent palace were occupied. Whether it was the dragon prince or the dragon, they were much better than when this palace was built.
The huge number is very small.
"Imric, do you fear the Kada'i gods in heaven."
Generally speaking, the succession ceremonies of other kingdoms ask whether one will obey the rule of the Phoenix King, but Caledor is unique. The proud Caledonians will not even lower their flags for the arrival of the Phoenix King, but the Phoenix who is watching the ceremony
Although the King's envoy did not reveal anything strange, he was probably thinking about how to report to Fenuba after returning to the Phoenix King's court.
"Can you defend the lives of the dragons?"
But now, they can see a scene that can only be seen in the legends left by their ancestors. A Shining Star Dragon recognized an Asur as its partner.
"I never thought that a mortal like me would one day accept this fate. Now that I'm here, I am Imrik, the descendant of Caledor, the dragon lord and prince."
The voice of High Priest Val gradually grew louder, and echoes could be heard in the magnificent palace.
"Now, Imrik is the Prince of Caledor, the Dragon Lord and the leader of the Dragon Princes."
The high priest placed the crown above Imrik, and in the end there was only one question left, whether Imric could inherit his father's identity.
"I respect the Phoenix King's rule and recognize his royal authority in Ulthuan."
The dragons roared, and the Caledonians who had been trained for a long time naturally knew what this meant. Imric's sacrifice of life to protect Minasnir had been recognized by the dragons before, but this time it was officially
's statement.
The dragon princes holding lances slammed the bottom of their lances against the ground, and the uniform movements made a crisp sound, which meant that the dragon princes, as military nobles, recognized Imric.
After a while, Minas Nir left the group of dragons and walked to the door of the palace. However, he did not fly away. Instead, he looked at Yi in the palace with his head covered with sharp horns, which looked like a crown.
Mrik.
"Do you swear to defend the honor of Caledor?"
Imrik, who was watched by everyone and the dragons, slowly stepped forward. The distance was not far, but he still felt waves in his heart.
Everyone else who saw this situation felt a sense of suffocation because of surprise, especially the dragon princes of Caledor. Because of the reason why the dragon fell into a deep sleep and was killed by the vicious Druzi, every dragon was extremely
Precious, there are currently no more than twenty dragons active in the sky of Caledor, and not every one of these twenty has a dragon prince as a partner.
Quickly opening the register in his hand, Maurice did not dare to wipe the sweat on his face. "The Phoenix King sent a special envoy. Several Phoenix guards from the Platinum Flame Temple arrived yesterday. The maid of Avalon brought the Eternal Queen."
With the blessing, the Shadow King sent a Shadow Crown Hand, and Saffre, Tyron Locke, Yris, and Cosquet all sent envoys."
"I swear that I will defend the glory of Caledor with my life."
"I fear the Kadai gods in heaven, and under their protection I survive."
As the blind priests of Vaal began to pray, the originally noisy palace gradually returned to calm. Only the heavy breathing of the dragons and the prayers of the priests of Vaal to Val, the patron of Caledor, could be heard.
The leading high priest was standing in front of the Dragon Claw Throne, and as he prayed, he picked up the dragon's crown on the table.
And if it is held on time, then it can use the excuse of disrespecting other kingdoms to belittle Caledor's influence. No matter how it is done, people will criticize it. This is really a good calculation.
After announcing the news, there was the sound of lances hitting the ground and the roar of dragons. In Caledor, the succession ceremony was so simple. Every member of the dragon tamer family became a famous hero in Ulthuan, even if
It was Caledor II who was beheaded by the High King of the Dwarves. He was also a warrior with extraordinary martial arts. He did not need a choir to sing about his achievements. Even if Imrik is just a warrior who is not very famous in the kingdoms now, in the future
There must be some success.
After saying this, Imrik said silently in his heart, "I just hope they don't trick me."
As the voice became more and more passionate, the crown was raised straight on his shoulders. The high priest felt Imric's position and said, "Imrik, please come forward."
Charis, Elion is very good, Imrik sneered and nodded. He didn't expect that the succession ceremony would have to experience the palace struggle in Ulthuan. If he postponed the ceremony because of these people, he would definitely be punished.
Thinking that he is a soft persimmon, these people will suggest the Phoenix King to expand the scale of weapons exported by Caledor when they participate in the War Council. As the current Phoenix King Fenuba's mascot, they will definitely agree to this approach.
He didn't think much about the gains and losses, and he didn't want to stay in Ulthuan, a place with little development potential, for too long. After the Battle of Fennuvar Plains, Imric planned to go to Lustria or the Old World.
When it comes to colonizing, these Asurs are very good at thinking. Unless there is a person with great prestige who can control the situation during the war, military operations will not be able to be commanded uniformly due to power struggles.
Maurice was ordered to be held as planned. This ceremony was not only the takeover of power, but also the first step for Imric to change his future destiny.
"Do you respect the Phoenix King's rule and recognize his royal authority in Ulthuan?"
He walked in front of the high priest and knelt down on one knee. This was the testimony of the throne in front of God, and it was also a sign that the successor accepted Val's blessing. The high priest, who covered his eyes with a black cloth, spoke. His experience of forging weapons for many years made him
The sound was as sonorous and powerful as a hammer.
After hearing this, Minas Nir and the dragons all stared at the little guy in front of them. One of the most important responsibilities of the dragon lord is to protect the dragons of Caledor.
As a descendant of three Phoenix Kings, Imrik can have the flaming phoenix mark tattooed on him. As a descendant of the Caledor family and the holder of the dragon horn, the fire dragon emblem will accompany him throughout his life. Leader of the Dragon Prince
His identity is a dragon fire lance, but now there is only the fire dragon emblem on the blue cloak. He is Caledor.
The blind priest accurately placed the crown on Imric's raised hand and announced to Asul and the dragons in the palace.
The originally hesitant steps suddenly became firm. The blue cloak had exquisite patterns tattooed on it. As his movements continued to sway, Asul's cloak often symbolized a person's identity.
He glanced back at Minas Nir and found that it was also looking at him, tapping the armor on his body with his hand.
I took over the ancestral weapon - the Star Lance from the attendant. This weapon carries the blessing of the Star Dragon. As long as the roar of the dragons echoes over Caledor, this blessing will never disappear. Imri
Ke walked outside the palace under the gaze of everyone.
The proud Minas Nir lowered his noble neck to allow the little guy to reach his back smoothly. As a dragon that has lived for thousands of years, Minas Nir also knows about the palace struggles within Assur.
From the report just given by Steward Maurice and Imrik, we also understand that the current situation of the young Prince Caledor is not very good.
Its move not only recognized this little guy as its partner, but also announced something to other kingdoms, that is, Caledor is not a soft persimmon, and the dragon and the dragon prince can defend Caledor's honor.
Waiting for Imric to reach his back, shaking his huge shoulders to signal him to hold on, Minas Nir roared and flew directly towards the Dragonspine Mountains.
