The construction of the Dragon Castle was undertaken by the Lordaeron Stonemasons' Guild, and in order to avoid a situation like the one in the Stormwind Kingdom, Locke kindly asked Shiloh to pay the stonemasons who worked here once a day. Although this is a bit troublesome, looking at the happy looks of these ordinary people, Locke feels that this kind of appeasement can still be there.

In order to make the mountain behind the Dragon Castle as planned in the drawings, the goblin explosives and the spells of the wizards were used to a limited extent. Many of the workers were hung by ropes, and the cliffs carved into the face of the cliffs like knives in front of them. At the bottom of the cliff, civilians on the construction site kept moving rocks out of the deep caves. Apprentice craftsmen carve these huge blocks of stone into rough slabs and floor tiles with various patterns according to specifications and requirements. In the future, they will become part of the Dragon Castle and will appear in the form of floor tiles or painted walls.

Although the Harvey family is only a new family, and the family members are currently only Locke, it cannot be denied that this is the king's family after all. As long as Locke is willing, there will be many people who are willing to join Locke's family and become a member of the Harvey family.

So far, Locke has only absorbed some of the old non-commissioned officers and officers of the Fifth Legion who have followed him until now to join his family. Most of them were older, or they didn't have the idea of developing in the army, so when they asked to join the Locke family, Locke agreed to their request without much hesitation.

Quite simply, this does not require changing the surname, they can only become family members below the middle level when they join the Harvey family, note that they are family members, not family members. Within each large aristocratic family, there are many ordinary people who depend on the family life, who are the cornerstone of the family and the extended arm, responsible for all the properties of their allegiance to the master. Of course, the most important thing is that they can enjoy the privileges of the Harvey family and not be bullied by outsiders. When you meet other nobles, you don't have to worry about eating whips without calling you lord. In general, they represent Locke's Harvey family most of the time.

A large five-clawed dragon banner with a red background was erected in the plaza on the second floor of the Dragon Castle, and next to it was a double-headed eagle banner with a blue background. The red dragon flag represents Locke's Harvey family. And the blue double-headed eagle, it represents Princess Kalia, the banner of the Minahill family. There were also a number of smaller flags around, mostly knightly family flags. As well as a small number of banners of the baronial family

It's normal for the Locke and Kalia banners to appear here, and the other flags represent a different reason. Some of them were direct nobles who were loyal to the royal family, while others were families who contributed to the construction of Dragon Castle.

Walking under the huge five-clawed golden dragon banner, Locke looked at it with emotion. The dragon that belongs to the memory of the previous life appeared in this world and faced everyone in the form of his own family crest.

Most people were surprised that Harvey would have chosen this strange creature as his family crest, but without Locke's explanation, someone pulled a similar pattern from an ancient book and told everyone that it was a dragon. Unlike the guardian dragons they knew, it had been ancient dragons and Balabala said a bunch of them

No matter how much others please him, Locke knows from beginning to end that it's all because he is a descendant of the dragon, and that's it.

After listening to the veterans of his family's stewardship talk about the progress of the construction of the inner court of the Dragon Castle, Locke, under their leadership, walked around and watched in each of the halls and rooms under construction. Although he was not a designer in his previous life, the designs of the houses he saw on TV still influenced Locke. He wouldn't let the castle he lived in be the same damp, cold, and sunless as those little dark houses.

The windows should be enlarged, a floor-to-ceiling window here, a balcony here, no fences, a few fireplaces here, etc., Locke tossed and turned in his Dragon Castle all morning. It wasn't until the afternoon that Mormont wanted to find him here.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Locke wiped the gravel chips from his hands, and the craftsmen couldn't move a huge stone into the base of the statue just now, so Locke picked up the stone weighing nearly a thousand pounds in the shocked eyes of everyone. In fact, the main thing is that the stone was carved into a stone statue for him. In Locke's opinion, showing them a hand would make them look more courageous and intimidating when they carved themselves.

"The throne hall of Dragoncastle has been built, and I personally think that the people of Kurtilas have not yet left. Why don't you crown Lordaeron on the throne in the next few days? Mormont followed behind Locke, and the two walked in the Dragon Keep one after the other, the Iron Guards guarding the surroundings a few meters behind them.

"Your coronation, my lord, we don't need to invite people from other kingdoms to watch the ceremony." Locke slowed down slightly, Mormont walked sideways to observe Locke's face and said, "The people who should have come have already arrived when you and Her Royal Highness Princess Kalia were married, and these people are staying in our inn, and no one has left. ”

"And those who didn't come, it was useless to wait a long time."

"Coronation" hoove!! Locke let out a sigh and said the word, which still made his calm heart beat much faster. The king, the status symbol, will have the greatest say in Lordanlenny. It's exciting!

Locke laughed, there were no outsiders here, and he didn't have to keep his face stiff at this time.

Smiling in front of Mormont, Locke and he went with him to a viewing platform at the Dragon Castle facing the sea, and he rested his hands on the dragon-shaped railing carved in stone, and the two of them watched the sea together.

"When you and Princess Kalia were married, many kingdoms didn't have time to send people. But in the aftermath, they all sent their envoys to Eva. Mormont leaned on the railing, letting the warm sea breeze blow his short gray hair, "I don't know what you think, my lord, even though they missed your wedding. But at least you should meet them and hear their kingdoms, or the voices of the forces behind them. ”

"This is what a king should do"

Stormwind Kingdom, Ironforge, and those who didn't make it to Locke's wedding did stay in Eva's hotel. Naturally, they knew about the statement that Princess Kalia had abdicated the throne, and as far as Locke knew, representatives of the Stormwind Kingdom had also contacted Kalia. Of course, Kalia also told Locke about it, which is nothing more than the fact that she gave up the throne, whether she was persecuted by Locke, etc

This coronation was the main way for the newborn Lordaeron to be affirmed by the other nations, so it had to be done in the presence of all the kingdoms. Now the members of the Coalition are represented in Iva, and I have been in contact with them privately, and they have stayed here for this purpose. That's a good thing. This proves that the alliance recognizes us. Mormont looked up at the calm Locke, "So I think that we should take this opportunity to take the position of king." Your Excellency will sit firmly on the throne of Lordaeron, your ambitions will be fulfilled, and the Harvey family will not be just a small family. ”

Locke turned around and leaned against the railing, night was about to fall, the mechanical lights were lit on the construction site of the Dragon Castle, and the craftsmen were working overtime to build the Dragon Castle just so that they could live in it sooner.

"And what do you think is going to happen with the coronation?"

Don't think about it, the coronation does have to take place as soon as possible. In two or three months, he will take a ship to the Kingdom of Stormwind, where he will meet with Varian, observe Onexia up close, and see how he can avoid the crisis against Varian. Take advantage of Varian's weakened gap to regain the dominance of the alliance once again.

Almost without hesitation, Mormont blurted out, "Everything is strict!" Simple! From the fast! ”

When Locke turned his head to look at him, Mormont, who had already prepared a detailed draft, began to answer, "In order to avoid any accidents, it is best to do it as quickly as possible." Originally, the coronation was no less than your wedding, but in our current Iva case, there is no need to hold such a large celebration in a row. I don't know if Eva's finances are healthy, but according to Shiloh-sama's words, it's a good thing that your finances are healthy. But we need a lot of money, especially if you're building a fleet, we still have an alliance with Quel'Thalas to fulfill, and the trade agreement with Kul Tiras at this time, etc., all of which have to be fulfilled. ”

"I know that your Excellency has just taken a lot of gold coins from the treasure house of the Agamandel family. But my lord," Mormont smiled slightly, "the cost of the royal family in the future is definitely not a small amount, and there are many aspects. And your army reform plan is different from other kingdoms, and if you have a little financial pressure, there is a possibility that there will be a crisis in the army."

"Centralization is a path that no one has yet taken in Azeroth. King Terenus is just a start," Mormont shrugged, "So, if anything happens, we'll need to settle it with gold." So, money can't be spent indiscriminately. This is number one. ”

"Second, we still have a lot of pressure, both internally and externally, waiting for us to deal with. Like the Twilight Hammer and the group of madmen you met this time, as well as the Cursed Sect, etc. Now that we have sabotaged many of their plans, they will certainly retaliate against us. So, we really can't hold a big event like this. At least not until security is clear. In addition, I heard some discordant voices, and some people secretly complained about it. Well, this voice doesn't affect the overall situation anymore. However, these people are loyal servants of the Minahir family, and I hope that you would better communicate with Her Royal Highness the princess so that they do not let the two of you get into discord. ”

"In the end, it's still the same, as I just said, while the envoys from all countries are here, especially the people of Kul Tiras. Let them observe the ceremony and acknowledge the fact that you are King of Lordaeron. The more people who know about this, the more stable your throne will be. ”
