Just as everyone was looking on expectantly, the red cloth was lifted, and a black wooden block that was about a meter in size appeared before everyone's eyes.
The black wooden block was a single piece, and its surface was very smooth. It was exactly because of this that they could only see some of the original patterns on the wood, and not a single trace of carving. It was just a huge block of wood.
"This is the wood that His Highness spent half a year to polish?"
"Could it be that he started from a tree?"
"Even the carving has been omitted?"
All of the officials who were full of anticipation couldn't hide their disappointment, and felt as if they had been played.
However, on second thought, it wasn't normal for them to have expectations of the third prince, so they could only swallow their anger.
Meg looked at the block of wood, and raised an eyebrow. This guy is more interesting than I thought. Is he really trying to piss his father off?
"This block of wood is quite square." The representative of the Demon Race, Gill, was already laughing out loud.
The other representatives also couldn't hide their smiles.
Sean and Josh had both presented extremely rare treasures, and that was enough to show how filial and capable the two princes were.
However, the Third Prince had actually given him a black square piece of wood. What a joke!
However, if it weren't for this prince, they would've almost forgotten that there was a third prince in the Roth Empire, and that he was such a stupid fool.
"Yuri, what's with this block of wood?" The king's expression was also rather dark. The wood carvings that Yuri had presented in the past weren't very elegant, but they were all very intricate, and that was enough to show his sincerity.
However, he had only presented a block of wood today? And he even said that he had spent half a year preparing it? Could it be that she thought he was old and could use such brainless words to deceive him? Furthermore, he had embarrassed him on such an occasion.
"Father, this is actually not an ordinary block of wood. This wood has been carefully polished by me, and then painted with a meticulously developed obsidian lacquer. It's harder than iron, and has extremely strong resistance." Yuri gently stroked that piece of wood with his hand, and then jumped onto it. He patted the wood with a smug smile, and said, "Also, look at its height; it's just right for an adult. Sitting on top of it, I can feel a slight chill, and it's very comfortable."
"So, is this a stool as hard as iron?"
Gajeel burst into raucous laughter upon hearing this. Andre and his two sons were both very difficult to deal with, and he didn't think that Andre would have such a foolish son. It was indeed a great pleasure to say something that could embarrass Andre.
The various representatives began to laugh. Even some of the Roth Empire's ministers couldn't help but laugh along.
"The Roth Empire is going to become the laughing stock of all the races because of the third prince!"
There were also some ministers who looked at Yuri angrily, angry that he didn't fight.
"Yuri, you …" The king's beard was trembling with rage, and he had already decided that Yuri would no longer be allowed to participate in any of the royal family's activities.
"This little guy is still as silly as before." Irina shook her head.
"Father, why did Mushroom Head give his father a piece of wood?" Amy asked with a curious look on her face.
Meg contemplated momentarily before replying, "He's probably just a fool."
Josh hurriedly rose to his feet, and said, "My third brother is just being filial. It's just that he's still very young, and he's always been obsessed with woodcarving, so it's inevitable that he would be biased in his gift. I hope Father won't hold it against him."
Sean took a glance at Josh before also rising to his feet, and said, "Father, my third brother is still very young, and hasn't studied much. Please forgive him, Father."
The king's fury subsided slightly as he looked at the two of them.
"You're the one who hasn't studied much, Big Brother! I read five books every day, and I've already read all of the books in the royal library twice!" Yuri retorted with an indignant expression.
The king's expression darkened upon hearing this, and he was just about to fly into a rage again.
Sean also raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. He had only stepped forward to put in a few good words for Josh because he could see that Josh was putting on a show of hypocrisy. However, not only did Josh not appreciate his kindness, he even dared to ridicule him; he was asking for trouble.
"The chair is actually only the most common way of using it." Yuri seemed to be completely oblivious to everyone's mocking and enraged expressions as he pressed a corner of the wooden block with a smile, and said, "Now, it's time to witness a miracle."
"Crack! Crack, crack … "
Along with a cracking sound, the seemingly seamless piece of wood instantly disintegrated into countless pieces of wood. They climbed up from Yuri's feet and enveloped him completely in an instant, forming a layer of wooden shell.
Yuri, who was sitting on the wooden block, had transformed into a black giant over two meters tall in the blink of an eye!
He had an inky-black body, a suit of silver armor, and a rather serious expression on his massive wooden head. It was just that he was slightly larger than normal, but he struck everyone with a sense of awe and intimidation.
"What?!"
The commotion in the hall instantly subsided, and everyone's eyes widened with astonishment as they looked at the wooden giant standing at the center of the hall.
A seemingly ordinary square block of wood had turned into a giant in the blink of an eye. This operation was almost dazzling. Could this be magic? But that block of wood really did exist!
So this was the gift that the third prince had presented to the king, and everyone was stunned by its beauty. Compared to the wooden carvings that he had presented in the past, this transformative giant was indeed more intimidating.
However, why did this wooden giant look so familiar?
"Isn't that General Alex?"
A military general asked with an excited expression.
"It really is General Alex!"
The entire hall instantly erupted into a frenzy.
"Alex!" A cold light flashed through Josh's eyes at the sight of the wooden giant. This was a face that he didn't want to see again for the rest of his life.
Sean was also looking at Yuri with a cold expression. "This guy really doesn't know what he's talking about."
Irina was a little absent-minded as she looked at the wooden giant. She then turned her attention to Meg, who was also staring at the wooden giant, and pursed her lips. "He doesn't look like that anymore."
Meg was indeed appraising the wooden giant with a serious expression. It had to be said that Yuri's carving skills were truly exceptional. The carvings on this human head were extremely intricate and intricate, and the contours of his face were clearly defined. He couldn't be considered handsome, but he was very memorable. Even though it was only a wooden carving, the resolute look in his eyes still made one want to involuntarily back away.
He was the king standing there.
So that's what he looks like. He doesn't look like me at all. Could it be that he took my photo and went for plastic surgery? Meg thought to himself, and his emotions were a little complex. Countless memories flashed through his mind, all of which were of his glorious past.
