Chapter 756 - 756 A King

756 A King

Right before everyone’s expectant eyes, the red cloth was unveiled, revealing a black wooden cube.

The surface of the inky black cube was polished to a very smooth extent, and it hadn’t been carved at all. It was just a smooth block of black wood.

“His Highness took half a year to polish a block of wood?”

“Maybe he polished it starting from when it was still a tree?”

“He can’t even be bothered to carve now?”

All of the expectant expressions on the faces of the officials gave way to disappointment, and they felt as if they had been swindled.

However, when they thought about it, it was their fault for having any expectations for the third prince in the first place, so they only had themselves to blame.

Mag also raised his eyebrows as he looked at the block of wood. This kid is more interesting than I anticipated; is he trying to infuriate his father into having a brain hemorrhage?

The representative of the demon race, Gajeel, had already burst into laughter. “I must say, this block of wood is very square.”

All of the representatives of the other races were also trying their best to repress their mirth.

Sean and Josh had both offered extremely rare treasures, thereby displaying their thoughtfulness and abilities.

However, the third prince was offering a black block of wood, and that was nothing short of hilarious.

If he hadn’t jumped out on his own, they had already forgotten that the Roth Empire even had a third prince. As it turned out, he was an absolute idiot.

“Yuri, what’s the deal with this block of wood?” The king’s expression had also darkened slightly. Even though the wooden carvings Yuri had presented to him in previous years weren’t exactly prized gifts, all of them were quite intricately crafted, and it was a manifestation of the time and effort he had expended.

However, he was presenting just a block of wood this time? And he was declaring that it had taken him half a year to produce something like this? Could it be that he thought his father was senile enough to believe such a blatant lie?

“Father, this is not a normal piece of wood; I painstakingly polished this wood, then applied coats of the Black Stone Paint I invented onto its surface. It’s even harder than metal, and is extremely impact resistant.” Yuri gently stroked the block of wood before jumping onto it and taking a seat. A smug smile appeared on his face as he continued, “Also, it’s just the right height to act as a chair, and it’s very nice and cool to sit on.”

“So you made a super durable stool?”

Gajeel was howling with laughter. Andre and his two sons were all quite troublesome to deal with, but who would’ve thought that he would have such a stupid son like this Yuri? It was very satisfying for him to witness Andre’s humiliation.

All of the representatives from the different races also burst into laughter, and even some of the officials of the Roth Empire couldn’t help but chuckle along.

However, there were also some officials who were looking at Yuri with enraged expressions, furious that he was making the Roth Empire the laughingstock of the entire continent.

“Yuri, you...” The king’s mustache was trembling with rage. He had even made up his mind that he was going to forbid Yuri from participating in any royal events from this day forth.

“Looks like he’s exactly the same as he was three years ago.” Irina shook his head with a faint sigh.

“Father, why is Mushroom Head giving his father a piece of wood?” Amy asked with a curious expression.

Mag thought about this question for a long while before replying, “Probably because he’s stupid.”

Josh hurriedly rose to his feet to try and play the good guy as he said, “Yuri is still young, so it’s inevitable that he’ll do something foolish from time to time. Please don’t be angry at him, Father.”

Sean glanced at Josh before also standing up as he chimed in, “Father, Yuri is still young and hasn’t read many books, nor seen much of the world, so please forgive him.”

The king’s fury abated slightly as he looked at his two sons.

“Big Brother, you’re the one who hasn’t read many books! I read five books a day, and I’m already in the process of reading all of the books in the royal library for the second time!” Yuri retorted with an indignant look.

The king’s expression darkened once again.

Sean also raised his eyebrows in response. He was only trying speaking out for Yuri seeing as Josh had done so, but who would’ve thought that Yuri would dare to insult him in response? What an ungrateful little brat!

“Using this thing as a stool is its most basic function.” Yuri seemed to be completely oblivious to the ridicule and rage on everyone’s faces as he pressed a hand down onto the corner of the wooden block and smiled as he said, “This is its most impressive function.”

“Crack! Crack! Crack...”

Following a string of loud cracks, the seemingly seamless block of wood suddenly split up into countless segments, climbing up Yuri’s body from his feet, instantly encapsulating him to form a wooden exoskeleton.

Yuri had just been sitting on the block of wood a moment ago, yet he had become a black giant over two meters tall in the blink of an eye.

The inky-black body and the silver suit of armor combined to create a sense of intimidation.

The entire palace abruptly fell silent as everyone stared at the wooden giant with eyes that were wide with astonishment.

A seemingly ordinary block of wood had transformed into a giant in the blink of an eye! Could this be magic? But the third prince wasn’t a magic caster!

This present that the third prince was offering was indeed quite extraordinary; it was far better than his usual wooden carvings.

But why did this wooden giant look so familiar?

“Isn’t that General Alex?” a military official exclaimed with an excited expression.

“It really is General Alex!”

The entire palace burst into a loud commotion again.

Alex! A cold light flashed through Josh’s eyes as he looked at the wooden giant. This was a face that he didn’t ever want to see again.

Sean’s expression was also rather cold as he looked at Yuri. What a clueless bastard!

Irina was slightly entranced by the sight of the wooden giant. She then turned her gaze toward Mag and pouted slightly. He looks nothing like that now.

Meanwhile, Mag himself was also carefully appraising the wooden giant. It had to be said that Yuri’s woodworking skills were extremely brilliant. The wooden statue appeared to be very life-like, and it was emanating the aura of a king—not the king of the empire, but a king who stood at the pinnacle of the continent nonetheless.

So that’s what he looks like. He looks nothing like me at all, Mag thought to himself with a series of rather complex emotions in his heart. Countless memories of Alex’s glory days began to flash through his mind.

“Mushroom Head’s wooden statue this time is a lot better than that bird man. It looks just like Father,” Amy whispered as she looked at the wooden statue.
