Chapter 316 Caledor Noble Council
In the Noble Council Hall next to the Dragon Father Square, a heated discussion is taking place. Most of the participants are people with extremely high status or high respect in Caledor. , some high-level dragon princes with insufficient qualifications could only stay in the auditorium because their father was sitting on the long table.
The spacious conference hall was crowded with people. Most of them came here fully armed. Some anxious people didn't even pay attention to the attire for attending the parliament. After receiving the news, they immediately came to the conference hall.
The dragon halberd guards were unable to stop them. Just because these reckless men had forgotten the rules and regulations, they rushed into the conference hall wearing dragon armor. There were many people inside and even more people outside. Everyone was waiting for news. Prince Yi's disappearance is false news.
"We need to immediately declare Caledor to be under martial law and not allow any movement of people until Imric comes back."
A man sat on the long table, occupying one of the only twelve chairs . , his tone was extremely intense.
Old Hallandur - Wycliffe, the father of Edtelis, one of the most prestigious people in Caledor. Although his old age has only allowed him to go out in some important battles, this does not mean that he There is a lack of voice in the country. As the leader of the die-hards, even Imrik has to pay attention to his thoughts.
"Wycliffe, calm down! We are a parliament of nobles, not conducting military operations." Edgar, who served as the commander of the Dragon Prince in the Battle of Fennoir Plains, stopped the fierce behavior of old Harlandur. Old guy, he doesn't care what the diehards think.
"Edgar, how can you tell me to calm down! You need to know who is missing. He is the only blood descendant of His Highness the Dragon Tamer, the Dragon Prince who can lead Caledor to regain its past glory, and the dragon who awakens the dragon. Lord, not anyone else!" Old Hallandur immediately pounded the table and glared at his long-time comrade sitting across from him. Even though his second son died in battle, he never acted like this. He just coldly took Edtelis with him. Head to the Broken Shore and claim the Dreadlord's head.
"Imrik is just missing. There is no evidence to prove that he is dead. What we need to do is how to ensure the stability of Caledor before he comes back."
A high-level dragon prince said, Trevicorn Wood Lor, a noble of Tal Khaled and brother of Imric's mother.
Edtelis, who walked into the conference hall, looked at the old guys at the table and knew that the meeting had just been held, and the High Priest Val and the Supreme Mage of the Flame Tower had not yet arrived.
So he nodded to a few people and walked behind his father. Although he was not a die-hard member, his family status had already given him a label.
"What's Agathel's attitude?"
Hearing Edgar talk about Agathel, everyone couldn't help but look at the empty chair next to Randy. He also went to the old world and was the one with the highest status besides the champion warrior. The dragon prince.
Masnot has been given the status of actual regent, and it is impossible to get a definite answer from him. He can only get the answer from the second-ranking senator of the Parliament of Nobles.
Alagil, who was responsible for handing over the old world, had just stood up when he was scolded by old Harandur, "Remember your identity, Alagil, maybe you will get the position of general manager..." But before he could finish speaking, the
Lord Randy, who was in the seat, had already interrupted the old stubborn's words, "Shut up, Wycliffe, this is not a place to sing about tradition and glory to you. If you say any more useless words, I will have you kicked out!"
Randy's words had some effect. After all, he was a former champion warrior and had saved old Hallandur many times. He could only hesitate and sit down helplessly.
The die-hards only emerged in the past two years. It was just because Imrik made too many changes that many people remained skeptical. The identity of this leader should theoretically be Randy, but Randy is A die-hard supporter of Imrik, it was the elder Harandul who was put in this position.
"Continue." Randy nodded to Alagir. When he learned the news, he planned to block it immediately, but who knew that it would spread throughout the country in a short time. Prince Long, who had been in charge of palace affairs for a long time, did not try to block it. This question was hidden, but Alarielle was immediately contacted, hoping that she could provide some help in the next affairs, so now it is not clear what Agathel's thoughts are.
"Prince Agthel believes that the prince's matter may be true. According to his intelligence, the prince disappeared during the battle with Beelak..." Alagir explained in a low tone that there was a booming explosion on Prague. But everyone has heard it, and the prince is most likely in danger, and the next thing may be a bit difficult to handle.
While several members of the Noble Council continued to discuss the importance of Imric, the High Priest Var had already arrived. He took Agathel's seat without any ceremony, even though it was covered with a black cloth. Eyes, but anyone can see the gloomy face.
"Whether Imrik is dead or not, we need to discuss a plan. What should we do next? If an unknown boy suddenly appears and says that he has the blood of His Highness the Dragon Tamer, and it is true. Yes, how should we deal with it." High Priest Val bluntly explained the core issue, that the problem of the kingdom having no heir appeared at this moment.
Many people have been advising Imric not to go to the old world to support the Chaos invasion. What should you do if something unexpected happens? You are the only blood descendant of the dragon tamer. If you die, it will cause serious problems. Other kingdoms can still vote through elections. The noble way of selecting a prince is to be placed in Caledor. Anyone who dares to raise this matter is guaranteed to face the siege of a large group of dragon princes. This is not just a talk, but a real one with lances and dragons. .
"Anyone who dares to show up will declare war on Caledor. The only blood descendant of His Highness the Dragon Tamer is Imric. This is approved by all the dragon princes!" Old Harlandur's words aroused everyone's excitement. Responses expressed support.
But High Priest Val knows that this matter is not that simple. According to Caledor's legal principles, if a family has lost all its males, then blood relatives can inherit the honor. If this If there are no relatives, female members of the clan can adopt some children so that they can inherit the family's honor, or they can change their surname so that a person who marries them can wear the family's honor.
But the current situation is that Imric has no relatives on the paternal line at all. After Caledor II, the dragon tamer family became extremely sparse. In addition, many people died in the battlefield, and some others Missing in the Longji Mountains, there was only one seedling for a long time.
Moreover, he is the only one in the family, so it is impossible to adopt the inheritance method. So the best possibility is the blood inheritance method, to find a person with the same bloodline to inherit the position of the head of the Dragon Tamer family.
The head of the Dragon Tamer family usually means Prince Caledor. The two are not bound to each other, but in a sense, that is the case.
Although High Priest Val feels that it is extremely unlikely that someone with the blood of a dragon tamer will survive in this world, no one knows whether this will happen. Legally speaking, this person can indeed inherit the dragon tamer family. Although he is the head of the family, he will definitely be greeted by a bunch of bloody lances from the Dragon Prince.
Even if this person does exist, if he is wise, he will not jump out at this juncture unless he has other purposes.
High Priest Val thought for a while, looked at the noisy crowd around him, and couldn't help roaring,
"Quiet!"
The words of High Priest Val, who had a very high status in Caledor, had an effect, and the conference hall that was originally like a vegetable market gradually became quiet. , everyone is waiting for the words of the high priest.
The high priest stood up. In such an emergency, it was impossible to consider whether to involve politics. The kingdom had to be stabilized as soon as possible. When he was blacksmithing, he heard his apprentices discussing this matter. This made the high priest of Val who devoted himself to studying how to mass-produce artifacts. Very angry.
He first said to the palace steward, "Maurice, you immediately go search the archives in the palace. Regarding the blood inheritance of the Dragon Tamer family, you cannot let go of the slightest possibility." Maurice, the steward, nodded to express his understanding
. He was already doing what he was doing, he just hoped that nothing unexpected would happen.
"Restrict the movement of people in the kingdom, but the affairs of the Young Dragon Bay Commercial Center cannot be delayed." "
Send people to Lothern to test Fenuba's ideas, and always maintain intelligence exchange with the old world. We need to get first-hand information News, whether the news is good or bad."
