Chapter 266: Teclis

N'Kari is a Greater Daemon of Slaanesh of high rank; he has traversed the Mortal World and the realms beyond, solely to experience the most extreme sensations and taste the purest ecstasy. During the first Chaos invasion, he was defeated by Aenarion, and for this, he swore to slaughter all of Aenarion's bloodline.

In fact, N'Kari was close to succeeding; at one point, he had only two targets left—the Taishi Xiongdi—but unfortunately, the toughest bones are always left for last. The Taishi Xiongdi defeated him several times and established a great reputation thereby, but this was not enough; the Greater Daemon can be resurrected in the Warp, and he will return again.

"This..."

Tyrion's heart was in turmoil; the other Elves did not quite understand. It was common knowledge that N'Kari wanted to kill Aenarion's descendants, but at present, the Taishi Xiongdi were both single, and theoretically, they were the only targets, if one did not count the Witch King Malekith.

But the facts were not so; the Eternal Daughter Alithara—the next Everqueen—was not the child of Finubar and Alarielle, but of Tyrion. They fell in love when Tyrion rescued her from the pursuit of the Dark Elf.

The Everqueen is the representative of the Elf mother goddess Isha in the Mortal World; they are the daughter of the daughter of the daughter of Isha's eldest daughter. And the Phoenix King is theoretically the chosen one of Asuryan, but the Lord of the Phoenix ignores worldly affairs, and he "directly approves" the candidates chosen by the nobles.

According to tradition, the Phoenix King needs to live with the Everqueen for one year to give birth to the Eternal Daughter. Tyrion helped his good friend Finubar perform this duty; fortunately, Finubar did not mind this much, as he also had his own family life.

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Tyrion threw the question back to his younger brother. They, the brothers, were the guardians of Ulthuan; if both went south on an expedition, the internal void would indeed cause no small amount of trouble.

"Shall I go and negotiate?" Teclis smiled; he knew he had already persuaded his older brother. Following this was a simple procedure; after Finubar granted Teclis full proxy power in this matter, he announced the end of the meeting; this navigator had had enough.

After the Archmage walked out of the courtyard, he opened a portal; he needed to go and return quickly. Ordinary Elves are easily tempted by the Prince of Pleasure due to their pursuit of pleasure, beauty, art, and so on, but for scholars and mages, the Great Lord of Change also covets their delicious souls.

"Cough, cough!"

Accompanied by a fit of painful coughing, Teclis appeared in a flash of white light beside the Waystone at Liming Yaosai, a creation that guides the Winds of Magic. Large-scale teleportation magic consumes a great deal, and the stronger the object being teleported, the more the consumption will increase accordingly.

Teclis raised his hand, and the violent Winds of Magic formed a howling storm; a beautiful giant bird stepped out from within. This was an Arcane Phoenix, not only a size larger than a Flame Phoenix, but its feathers were also of brilliant colors. It bowed to let Teclis climb on, then flapped its wings and flew high.

"Report! Your Majesty, the pointy-ear riding the phoenix is here again!"

Snorri Thorsson, who was meeting with the representatives of the Knight Kingdom, frowned upon hearing this; why was that mage so unreasonable? Just as he walked to the foyer, Snorri felt something was wrong: the surrounding Winds of Magic were too active!

"Bring my Doom Anvil here, and invite the master over. Also, Henlide, get me some guards with better eyesight!" Snorri issued orders in succession, and only after these were in place did he stride out the gate.

"As expected!" Looking at the Arcane Phoenix in mid-air, Snorri was very satisfied with his foresight.

"Is the visitor Prince Teclis? Snorri Thorsson, Lord of the Southern World's Edge Mountains, has long admired your name!" Out of respect, the young Dwarf King introduced himself upon coming up.

"Hiss!"

"Clang, clang!"

Hearing the name Teclis, the sound of armor and weapons colliding came from the warriors around; they all couldn't help but tense their bodies. The Great Holy War was only a little over a hundred years ago; this generation of Dwarfs had basically all experienced it, and there were some veterans of that year in the Expeditionary Force.

Many heroic figures emerged in those bloody battles, and Teclis was undoubtedly one of the most dazzling. Even when the Dwarfs mentioned him using the Fire of Ten Thousand Flames to clear the Chaos army on half the city wall of Kislev in one go, they had to offer a word of praise.

"Not bad!" Teclis appeared very generous; he drove the phoenix to land on the ground in a leisurely manner.

"The gate is not a place for discussion; shall we go inside and talk?" Snorri made a gesture of invitation; Teclis coming alone meant that Ulthuan had already made its reply.

"Poof!"

Teclis waved his hand, and the Arcane Phoenix dissipated its form in a whirlwind. As he approached, Snorri examined this legendary Archmage at close range.

He wore a white robe with blue, a blue cloak behind him, and his expression was calm and composed. On his head was the Crown of Saphery; the Kingdom of Saphery is the land of magic, and the Tower of Hoeth stands here. And this battle helmet, which possesses powerful strength, is passed down among the generations of High Archmage.

Hanging at Teclis's waist was the Sword of Teclis—every mage from the Tower of Hoeth must forge a magic sword themselves, which condenses their understanding of magic.

He held a long staff, and Snorri could feel the majestic divine power within it. This was the Moon Staff of Lileath, containing the great divine power of that eternally young daughter of Isha, and it was also the symbol of Teclis as the Champion of Lileath.

Under the tight encirclement of Snorri's guards, the master and apprentice and Teclis walked into the conference room. As soon as he entered, Snorri activated the Chenshi Bili he had just obtained.

"Eh!"

The Archmage narrowed his eyes; he realized that the attention of his goddess had been cut off, which was a very rare thing.

Although Teclis was extremely gifted in the Dao of magic, he was not favored by the Lord of Wisdom Hoeth because he was too frail. Lileath, however, had a discerning eye for talent and gave him her staff to help him maintain his health, thereby gaining the loyalty of this powerhouse.

Snorri knew that Teclis coming in person was definitely not just to act as a messenger; the Archmage stationed at Liming Yaosai could have done that just as well. Teclis indeed had something on his mind; after the two sides quickly exchanged opinions on non-aggression, they fell into a brief silence.

"You coming here this trip, it's at the behest of that one, right?" Snorri stroked his beard and said slowly.

"That this conflict can be resolved peacefully is the result of my vigorous mediation. The council of the royal court wanted to set out immediately, and His Majesty Finubar is also very dissatisfied with his nephew's encounter!"

Teclis did not respond directly, but instead claimed credit for himself in a flat tone. He tapped his staff lightly, and the naked bust of Lileath at the top finally lit up.

"This is our sincerity; He is very satisfied with your plan and ideas for immigration from Bretonnia, and therefore has a deal He wants to discuss with you."
