Chapter 1240 Searching for the Ancestral Gods
This interruption made Imrik lose interest in continuing.
Although he can easily judge that Gotrek's current strength is not too strong, at least there is still some gap compared with first-class hand-to-hand fighters...
But for today's Phoenix King, the so-called first-class hand-to-hand fighters refer to the blood descendants of Aenarion and the Butcher King...
After taking a few glances at the dwarf, and thinking that he was indeed protecting Gotrek as a baby, Imric sighed: "That's all, but I hope what I did... is right."
After finishing speaking, the Phoenix King pushed up the armrest and stood up to leave. As he passed by Gotrek and Phoenix, he said slowly: "Gotrek, you have an important mission...
Complete for me the conclusion of the Great Crusade, and if you seek a glorious death, I can tell you that there will be only one other battle more honorable than your mission. "
Gotrek's one eye twitched unnaturally, thinking that the pointed ears were trying to trick people into giving up their lives. He had seen a lot of similar rhetoric in the mercenary market.
But only this time, the hot rune battle ax shimmered, seeming to confirm what Imric said.
This made the Phoenix King laugh uncontrollably: "Go ahead, the Butcher is born to die. If you have the will to fight, you shouldn't be shackled in a corner."
An unprovoked remark finally turned into a black face for the High King and others.
A small meeting of four people, Thorgrin, Agrim, Torek, and Broxson, discussed Gotrek's matter for a long time.
Thorgrim was determined but hesitant: "I start from the identity of the High King... Remember, only as the High King, Gotrek should stay in the Mountain Kingdom. The will of Grimnir he carries can inspire everyone. A son of the mountains, his meaning is no less than the voice from Valaya's gate."
These words showed that Thorgreen wanted to hear some opposing opinions, and he definitely did not want to make decisions for his stone heads like before.
"I'm afraid this is not good..." Bloxson, who took off his engineer's helmet, frowned and said, "Imrik's words before leaving were obviously talking about something big... The great holy war has not yet ended. , Uncle Agrim, does he have any clue?"
"The unfinished business of the Great Holy War..." Agrim rubbed his big hands. His memory of the Great Holy War was a little blurry. His impression was that he chopped and chopped all the way, and then disappeared.
Until Agrim was a confused ghost, Thor Green answered this question for him: "There are many doubts about the Great Holy War... Some information about the Cursed City passed through the late King Erickson, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, after the war. Magnus, Masno, the regent of Caledor at the time, and the three parties jointly discussed all matters related to the action team as absolute secrets, including the information about why Imric disappeared. "
"Yes, yes, that damn Bilak." Agrim suddenly realized, slapping his forehead, and said something when reminded by the High King: "I heard someone said that Bilak was already in Caledor's file. He was killed by Imric...but the demon will not be destroyed. Could it be that he is still worried about this matter?"
"That must be the case!" Torek's determined tone made the three of them look at him sideways: "According to Valaya's oracle, great changes will occur in the north in the near future. The Cursed City is Bilak's conspiracy. If the Lord of Shadows You don’t have any intention of giving up, but you still want to extend your tentacles to the mortal world?”
"In this case..." Bloxon muttered something in his heart. The point was not what Imrik wanted to express, but how to arrange Gotrek.
With the prestige of the High King, Gotrek can naturally be left in the Mountain Kingdom to inspire his people as the respected choice of Grimnir. But is this appropriate...
"Let's make an assumption... Before His Majesty the White Dwarf left, he praised Uncle Agrim for being like Grimnir, but we all know that this was just a compliment..." Bloxon, who was narrating, discovered that The words were a little inappropriate, so he quickly explained: "I definitely didn't mean..."
"If you have anything to say, just say it quickly. Don't always show off your words here. Don't I know the situation of the ancestor gods? Even though the fire in Kaderin's shrine is burning brightly, the ancestors have never responded to us."
After a warning, Bloxson expressed his thoughts: "Perhaps His Majesty the White Dwarf already knows Gotrek's mission? If not, he only needs to instruct Uncle Agrim to go to the Chaos Wasteland and retrieve Grimny. Your rune battle ax will naturally inspire countless sons of the mountains."
It is not a suitable logical deduction process to infer the cause from the results, but as long as the conclusion can make people feel at ease, then there is no problem.
Thorgrim and Thorek looked at each other, and they had already made up their minds. Let Agrim continue to be the symbol of Grimnir, and Gotrek would complete the mission given to him by the ancestors and gods. The Kingdom of the Mountains would Give the greatest support behind your back.
"Well... we must respect the will of the ancestor gods. After Torek has inspected the condition of the rune battle axe, he invites Gotrek to join the Northern Expeditionary Force. If he is really the choice of the God of War, I believe he will definitely show the wrath of the mountains. "
Thorgrim had many considerations. Letting Gotrek join the expeditionary force was to test whether he was Grimnir's choice, and secondly, Agrim would always be around to ensure that he and his blond secretary had a happy life. Safety.
Although the Yankee Barbarian has some strength, it is still inferior to Agrim. There are not many people in this world who can withstand the Butcher King's three attacks.
"Reconsideration."
"Um."
"A reasonable choice."
…………
On the other side, Imrick, who had left the guild hall, wandered back to his residence. It turned out that even the tough-talking dwarves would be extremely hesitant when faced with some things.
"Should I let Kadroin or Kuran go... or call Malus over to see which one of the Druzy cockroaches and the dwarf cockroaches has stronger vitality? It's really a headache."
Gotrek, who was completely unaware that he was being targeted, was still discussing with his blonde secretary which tavern to go to for a night of drinking. This gave Imrick some opportunities. How could he delay having fun?
But before that, the Phoenix King still had some things to deal with, such as the two wild girls who turned his newly collected armor into slag.
Pieces of things that looked like iron filings were scattered around the training ground, with black burn marks on the surface, and the neatly filled gaps showed that it was not just fire.
"This..." The Phoenix King was dumbfounded. I spent a lot of effort to buy a special edition armor made during the reign of the Wolf Emperor of the Empire to fight against the ratmen from a collector in Aldorf. The unique crow mask shape fully demonstrates its preciousness.
"Your Majesty..." Creon was embarrassed for a moment. Who knew that you would put your collection in the training ground to bask in the sun? Because it was too ugly, it was burned as waste by Katerin and Elena. (End of this chapter)
