Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

"Your Highness Noah!"

"Are you okay?"

When the pressure and divine domain that made the young bronze dragons tremble and made the giants tremble gradually dissipated, the scene below the earth has undergone earth-shaking changes. The originally bloody and ruined city, like a slaughterhouse, Has disappeared.

The criss-crossing ravines, newly formed mounds and sinkholes come into view. This area has been plowed countless times by the aftermath of the battle between Noah and the Mother of Snakes.

The power above now remains, and if there is no powerful enough legend to clean it up, it may be able to poison this land for hundreds of years, or even longer.

"fine!"

The third pair of dragon horns under the blessing of Yan Ling King's Crown is returning to its original appearance. The powerful power given by Yan Ling Golden Throne, as powerful as the abyss and the sea, is gradually fading away.

These are two extremely powerful word spirits. The King's Crown can allow Noah to temporarily taste the power of the Dragon King, while the Golden Throne can make Noah's dragon body explode in a short time, and his physical strength can reach a higher level.

These two words and spirits that strengthened themselves were able to make Noah turn around in one fell swoop. This was what made the incarnation of the Mother of Snakes feel regretful.

Because as long as she can withstand Noah's explosion, then the loser will be Noah. But unfortunately, the power given to him by the snake-man blood sacrifice is not enough for his incarnation to continue to support it, so he feels regretful.

But it doesn't matter. As an eternal existence, He has countless opportunities to fail and try again. The cost of His trial and error is infinitely close to nothing. He does not bother to engage in unnecessary entanglement after defeat, because it is not necessary.

"Let's go back!"

Even after such a high-intensity explosion and repelling an incarnation comparable to the existence of a god in one fell swoop, Noah did not show any signs of fatigue.

The restored golden dragon form looked full of energy, every scale was still flawless, glowing with dazzling golden light, and there wasn't even a single wound on its body.

But when Noah returned to Elisium City, the sixty-eight-year-old golden dragon, almost seventy years old, fell directly and transformed into an elemental black hole again, frantically devouring the magic power accumulated in the magic building. The terrifying consumption attracted Serena, the controller in charge of the Mage City.

"What did you do? Why did you suffer such a big physical loss? No, your mental energy consumption is also very serious."

The girl-like mage circled half a circle around the golden dragon, which had grown to fifty-seven meters in length. Even if it was lying on the ground, its body was much taller than hers. She was amazed.

"You're about to be gutted."

"I encountered the descending incarnation of an evil spirit."

Although Noah was sure that the Mother of Snakes had a very high status, he still called her a demon. The mere fact that she accepted a blood sacrifice was enough.

"Evil? Who?"

Serena raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Mother of all snakes, do you understand? There is also the Serpent Empire of Settra, have you heard of it?"

"Settra? I know that this is indeed a very powerful empire. Unfortunately, it has existed for too long and is on the verge of disintegration."

"Split and disintegrate?"

"Yes, this empire has been in existence for almost four thousand years, and it has become so large and bloated that they don't understand each other internally. The number of factions in the empire is beyond imagination.

They worship more than thirty gods. Any belief related to snakes will be introduced into the empire. This has indeed made Settra prosperous and powerful, but more and more beliefs have also led to the empire's transformation. It's getting more and more confusing.

I have the impression that the Mother of Snakes you just mentioned is also one of the snake gods believed in by this empire, and her status is not low. "

Hearing Noah's question, Serena's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and then she gave information that surprised Noah slightly.

"What? Did you provoke the snake people of the Settra Empire? Or did you offend the Mother of Snakes?"

"I did everything you said!"

Noah informed his adoptive mother of the theft of the dragon egg and his defeat of the Mother of Snakes.

"That's all?"

After listening to Noah's narration, Serena looked calm, as if she just lost a few coins, with an unconcerned look on her face.

"It's okay. Although the Settra Empire sounds scary and its overall strength is very powerful, it is too bloated. Its internal confrontations and factional struggles have almost exhausted the empire's power to expand outward.

The snakemen you met are probably just small branches of one of the empire's factions. Don't worry, Settra no longer has the motivation to expand.

If you encounter the Imperial snake people in a plane outside the control of the Settra Empire, it only means that these snake people are not doing well in the empire and are excluded from doing such a thankless job. "

"What about the Mother of Snakes?"

Noah asked, of course the golden dragon didn't care about a group of snake people, whether they were from the empire or not. The key was that evil demon. The other party was eyeing him. It was hard for him to ignore the greedy look that wanted to eat him.

"She, she is a little troublesome. The Mother of Snakes is one of Settra's first and most important beliefs. If she is really greedy for your body and wants to have little snake cubs with you, then you will have it in the future. Busy."

Serena laughed and said,

"But it doesn't matter. You have offended the entire Elf God System. Now there is another Mother of Snakes. What difference does it make to you?"

"The elves want to save face, but this is an evil demon who doesn't care about anything!"

Although the elves like to play tricks, no matter what they do, they will always maintain their dignity and face, and will not do anything too despicable, but the snake mother is different.

"It's okay, you are a metal dragon, at most you can find a dragon god to pray, I think any dragon god will be happy to help you."

The girl said carelessly, looking like she was watching the fun and not afraid of trouble.

"It costs money."

Noah said helplessly.

The basic rules of the dragon clan, even at the level of gods, will not change at all, and they will only do things for money.

Of course, you can also get it for free. As an ancestor dragon, as long as he is willing to contribute his faith, any dragon god is willing to protect him.

If he can find the dragon king, then no matter which dragon king, he will not refuse him, and he will probably be willing to help him, but the price is probably to be adopted as an adopted son.

"What else? Who can you ask for help without asking for money?"

The girl rolled her eyes.

"If you don't want to pay anything, just lie down here. No matter whether it's the snake mother or those long-eared elves, they dare not come here to be presumptuous. No matter how many incarnations they send down, they can't hurt you."

"This is not what a legendary wizard is qualified to say, auntie, have you found a particularly strong backer?"

Noah was very surprised. The cost of gods interfering in the material world is very high. Intervening directly with the incarnation of divine power is the most consuming. You may not get one point even if you put in ten efforts.

Therefore, the gods will be very cautious when sending down incarnations. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are calculating carefully. Therefore, the incarnations of gods are not very strong most of the time, and they are just guaranteed to be legendary.

It is just a little stronger than the culprit who caused the main cause of the incident. This is good, but the scale is not easy to grasp, because once the situation escalates, if the gods do not increase their investment in time, then it will be a mess.

There are many cases where the incarnations of gods have been blown up. Noah just contributed a case.

The strongest state that gods can reach in the material world is the saint form, which is the true body of gods.

However, gods in the saint form often only appear when a major catastrophe that affects dozens or hundreds of planes occurs, and they are not seen under normal circumstances.

Even so, it does not mean that other incarnations of gods can be despised. If gods invest at all costs and create an incarnation of near saint level, it is enough to sweep across the countries.

"I was born ordinary, and I can't compare with you, the noble ancestor dragon. I am not worthy of talking about any background. I don't have any background. If I have to talk about background, it's only Cassius."

"Uncle?"

Noah was thoughtful and seemed to understand.

"Aren't you sleepy?"

Seeing the big dragon still thinking, Selina asked curiously,

"According to my understanding, if dragons have any major consumption and huge damage, they will repair themselves by sleeping. Can the ancestral dragon be an exception?"

"This is one of the racial characteristics of dragons. How can I get rid of it? I really want to take a nap now."

"Then you can sleep well. Regarding the problem of snake people, I will inform Teddel and ask him to pay attention to the examination of the nobles in the kingdom."

"What if he examines it? How many nobles can refuse the temptation to prolong their lives?"

The noble named Orf is not the only one. He represents a certain group, a group of nobles who are aging but unwilling to face death.

Treasures that extend life without any side effects are too rare for this group.

But some magic rituals that allow them to continue to stay in the world by changing their life forms are easy to find, such as transforming into undead and becoming vampires.

In comparison, the transformation ritual of the snake man is perfect. The noble who obtained the original blood of the circulating snake can repair the injuries of the body and prolong his life by constantly shedding his skin. This is a temptation for the nobles that is self-evident.

"Since they can't refuse the temptation of prolonging life, they can't resist the threat of death."

Selina sneered. Although she was very contemptuous of the Setra Empire in her words, she actually took it very seriously.

Even if they are colonial pioneers from the empire, there may not be many strong people among them, but they must have mastered many very tempting extraordinary technologies, and the magic ritual that can transform life forms is just one of them.

"I'll take a nap."

Noah was not surprised by the iron-blooded temperament revealed by his adoptive mother and fell asleep peacefully.

Since the snake man has been exposed, he doesn't need to worry about what happens next, and it's not something he should worry about.

After a short but extremely fierce encounter, the exhausted golden dragon went into a nap, but he slightly misjudged his sleep time.

"Um~ah——"

The morning sun shines on his face. The boy stretches and yawns. His slightly itchy cheek makes him subconsciously reach out to scratch it, but the hard texture reflected by his fingertips immediately makes the boy stunned.

"What is it?"

Alexander rushes into the bathroom. When he sees the boy in the crystal mirror, who has a childish face but has become more heroic as he grows older, he is stunned.

Because on the side of the boy's face, near the neck, there are a few small, glittering golden scales. Such scales are very familiar to him.

"Dragon scales?!"

Alexander didn't need to ask anyone. He could tell based on his experience growing up in the Holy Dragon Territory.

"How did I grow dragon scales?"

This was the boy's biggest doubt at the moment. He had forgotten how many tests he had taken since he was born.

Every test result clearly told him that, except for a small amount of elven blood that was no longer visible, and the dominant human blood, he no longer had any special blood. But now, something belonging to the dragon family appeared on his body. characteristics.

"Theodore!"

After just thinking for half an hour, Alexander kicked out his younger brother's room. After seeing Theodore's clean and tender cheeks, which showed nothing abnormal, the young man grabbed his younger brother's collar.

"Brother! What are you doing?"

Theodore opened his eyes in a daze, and when he saw that his nightgown had been torn in half by his brother, his originally confused eyes instantly turned to horror, revealing a look of bewildered panic.

"Check your body to see if there are any abnormalities like mine."

As Alexander spoke, he took off his brother's clothes. Soon, he stopped moving amidst Theodore's desperate struggle, not because he pitied his brother, but because he had found what he wanted to find.

They were a few golden scales dotted on the young boy's thin shoulders. They were only the size of melon seeds, but they shone brightly in the dim light of the room.

"Sure enough, it's the same as me."

Alexander reached out and touched his brother's shoulder, or more directly, touched those abnormal dragon scales.

"What?"

Theodore finally noticed the abnormality in his body.

"Dragon scales?"

The boy who had been around dragons since childhood also recognized a few scales.

"Looks very similar to Uncle Holy Dragon!"

The two brothers discussed for a while, and after roughly coming to a conclusion, they were so excited that they went to find their sister for verification.

"Is something wrong?"

The girl in her nightgown looked confused when she saw her brother and brother running over to her excitedly early in the morning.

"Evelyn, let us check your body quickly!"

Theodore said impatiently.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Seeing his sister who suddenly changed color, grabbed her collar, and backed away a long distance with a vigilant expression, Alexander punched Theodore on the head with some annoyance.
