Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

"You will be my envoy, representing me, to attend the coronation ceremony of the new king!"

Noah looked at the dragon fairy in front of him. This was Lutishia, the one with the lowest presence among the three dragon fairies, but even if it was the lowest.

As one of the three dragon fairies who were promoted with Noah at the beginning, her current strength, according to human standards, has also reached the third level of extreme intention. With the elemental control ability possessed by the fairy after continuous advancement, plus the strong physique given by the dragon vein, this fairy is equivalent to a walking half-dragon.

"Yes."

Under the erosion of time and years, because of her long-term relationship with Noah, the dragonization phenomenon became more and more obvious. Lutishia, whose body grew to five meters and looked like a giant dragon man, first accepted the order and then expressed her confusion,

"Aren't you going to participate in this ceremony?"

"I've been feeling a little sleepy recently, and it's not appropriate for me to participate in such a grand event."

The golden dragon, who was lying in the palace and enjoying the service of the silver dragon, answered lazily, without any sign of tiredness or sleepiness. So, facing the confused eyes of his followers, Noah added,

"If someone asks, just answer like this."

"Yes."

Lutishia bowed and retreated.

Although she knew that such a high-level ceremony, with her current identity and status, would be under great pressure and might even be difficult for her to appear on behalf of His Majesty the Holy Dragon, she did not back down.

"The second king of the Atlas Kingdom is crowned. Apart from your relationship with the Augustus family, it is not appropriate for you not to attend the ceremony, just as a teacher and a student."

Silver Dragon Annabelle saw Noah's lazy posture and could not help but remind him.

"Isn't it that I am sleepy? I am not in good condition. What can I do?"

Noah yawned and lost the majesty of the Holy Dragon.

"Stop it. Don't I know whether you are sleepy or not? Regardless of whether you have a gap with your students, you and the Augustus family are the most steadfast allies.

Even if your relationship is not as close as before, you should still show what you should do. Otherwise, when the ceremony is over, rumors will fly all over the sky again, and it will be difficult for us dragon lords to do it!"

Silver Dragon continued to persuade.

She knew that the golden dragon in front of her was in a bad mood because the news that the new king Urnos, who was about to ascend the throne, had broken through and become a legend did not reach the golden dragon's ears at the first time, but was transferred to Elishim.

This is hard to explain by negligence, because there is a cross-domain teleportation array that can directly reach the capital Uther and the city of Elishim.

Normally, Elishim can know any major events in Uther at the first time, but the news that the new king Urnos was promoted to a legend came from other places.

Although it is only separated by a barrier, the time difference before and after can be almost ignored, but the meaning it represents is hard to ignore.

"What you said makes sense, then go and take a look!"

Noah glanced at the silver dragon and did not refute her advice. After thinking for a while, he slowly nodded and changed his mind.

Having said that, the ceremony of the Holy Dragon attending the coronation ceremony of the second generation monarch this time is far less grand than when the first generation king ascended the throne. The most distinctive feature is the number and form.

When the first king was crowned, the Holy Dragon Noah attended the ceremony with all his dragon lords, and even gathered into a group of dragons to fly over the capital city of Uther, and then severely suppressed the arrogance of the elf delegation.

But this time, including the Holy Dragon, only 23 dragon lords attended the ceremony, and these dragon lords, without exception, all appeared in humanoid form. If it weren't for the waiters promoting their names, the delegations of many countries and forces would not have recognized them.

This disappointed many residents of the capital who had great expectations for this. At the coronation ceremony of the King of Atlas, who was also known as the Kingdom of Metal Dragons, there were no real dragons. This was too absurd and many people could not accept it.

"Sir Noah, aren't there too many elves at the ceremony?"

Although in fact, Noah and the Augustus family led by Urnos were drifting apart, as the silver dragon said, in the eyes of the outside world, the two sides were an inseparable whole, and the union was also beneficial to each other.

Therefore, in public, whether it is Noah or Urnos, they must give the other party due face, so that the other party can have dignity.

One loss, all loss; one gain, all gain

"It is indeed a bit too much, but it is also within the normal range."

Sitting on the chief seat closest to the throne, Noah, who turned into a dragon man, glanced at the venue indifferently, and said in a calm tone.

Although the position he is sitting in now is the dream destination of many people, Noah can remember that the last time he came here, he sat next to the throne, and even pulled away Teddel and went up to test the hardness of the throne himself.

"This is normal, I just randomly clicked it, not to mention the high elves who are guarding outside, just the number of elven nobles who are sitting now is more than the last time."

"What number? Is this thing important? The key is the identity of these elves."

Another brass dragon, who came here just to join in the fun, came to Noah.

"You know?"

"Of course I know. Those elves look so familiar. See? The guy with a cold expression as if he was chiseled out of ice is the Grand Speaker of the Silver Moon Council."

"You know all this? What else?"

"And that one, the famous chief queen's staff of the Elf King's Court..."

A brass dragon and a copper dragon were whispering beside him. Noah listened expressionlessly.

Ignoring the elves' titles and noble identities that sounded extremely intimidating, Noah could basically draw a conclusion.

The relationship between the Kingdom of Atlas and the Elf King's Court began to become closer. In more areas, they would probably cooperate, and the two powers might become allies.

This was completely different from the period of Teddel. Teddel himself did not have much resistance and disgust towards the elves. He just had some opinions about the Seven Gods of the Elf bestowing blessings on his granddaughter.

From a secular perspective, it was difficult for Teddel to have a bad impression of the elves because the elves really presented a rare treasure that was hard to find in the world.

However, due to Noah's preference and influence, the relationship between the Elf King's Court and the Kingdom of Atlas is very dull. Even with the influence of the Seven Gods' blessing, the spread of the faith of the Elf God system is still difficult in the Kingdom of Atlas.

It's not that Noah deliberately targeted, but because Teddel listened to the advice of the Holy Dragon and introduced many true gods. As long as it is a normal true god church, it can enter the Kingdom of Atlas and be officially recognized.

It's not that no church has tried to get the only missionary right from Teddel and want to become the state religion of the Kingdom of Atlas, but unfortunately no church has succeeded so far.

Not to mention becoming a state religion, even if you want to buy off local senior officials and collude with nobles, the church that has a belief advantage within a certain area will be inexplicably suppressed.

This is the faith balance policy proposed by Noah. The secular power of any gods must not be allowed to expand in the Kingdom of Atlas. Only when the beliefs of the gods check and balance each other can the royal power maintain its supreme position and maintain its independence.

Now, this policy has been maintained. Urnos did not destroy the policy of faith balance, and he also learned the balance policy in a formal way, introducing new forces from the outside world.

Elf King Court

Noah remembered how angry Urnos was about the birth of the natural demigod. He looked furious at that time. The golden dragon had no doubt that if he was given a weapon capable of killing gods, he would really dare to wave it at the elven gods.

Now, the dignitaries of the Elf King Court can appear at his coronation ceremony, calm and composed, talking and laughing, without any sense of crisis or tension.

This is a scene that will never be seen at Teddel's coronation ceremony. The elves who participated in the ceremony at that time were so nervous that even the legendary high priest did not dare to let go of his staff throughout the whole process.

But now, some of the top dignitaries of the elves that Noah had never seen appeared at the venue. Their expressions were as natural as returning home. Looking at their appearance, it didn't seem like they were here for the first time.

Obviously, the deepening of cooperation between the Kingdom of Atlas and the Elf King's Court and the intimacy of their relationship have already begun and are ongoing, but Noah has only seen it now.

"A qualified king does not make decisions based on his own likes and dislikes."

Noah has sighed for countless times,

"I taught you so well at the beginning, and you really did it."

Noah looked at the young man who had already appeared, with black hair and golden eyes, and the awe-inspiring power of just breaking through the legend, sweeping the whole venue, trying to dominate the whole city.

At this kind of ceremony, all the guests attending will naturally give the new king the face he deserves, even if many legends, including Noah, can easily defeat this aura, but there is no need.

The Golden Dragon is very sure that Urnos must hate and reject elves in his heart.

You know, Urnos, as a father, has never seen his demigod daughter even once in these years, but now he can reach a cooperation with the Elf King's Court.

"Everything is based on national interests!"

Seeing the results of his careful teaching, Noah couldn't help but sigh, and there was a bit of regret in his heart. This was obviously the monarch he wanted, but he didn't want to see it really appear in front of him.

"How are your respective territories developing?"

The golden dragon asked the dragon lords around him abruptly.

"My territory is developing very well. The economic and population growth has been able to maintain a 10% growth rate every year in the past three years!"

"Haha, mine is not bad either. No one is starving anymore."

"Are you all developing so well? How did you do it? Teach me, I obviously built a dungeon, but it's useless!"

Although the number of dragon lords present was less than a quarter, they also gave Noah very wonderful feedback.

Not all dragons are good at managing territories. Some dragons can't do well even if they are taught hand in hand. They don't have the talent and ability in this area.

"I'm planning to expand my territory to the east. Who of you is interested in joining?"

Although his own regiment is still under construction, and there is no plan for the subsequent eastward advance, only a vague idea, but Noah still has his eyes on the dragon lords under his command.

It's not to exploit them, it's purely for their safety.

Dragons with insufficient abilities should not stay in the Kingdom of Atlas. It is foreseeable that with Urnos's true rise to power, the comfortable time for dragon lords all over the country will come to an end.

Before Urnos was promoted to Legendary, the people he really attacked or adjusted were all his own people.

Especially the Augustus family, who were the worst tormented by him. He turned the family into a base that only obeyed him.

As for other forces in the kingdom, he was just pretending to be nice to them, and even developed very friendly diplomatic relations with the Elf King's Court.

Noah didn't believe that his nephew would be so restrained after he was promoted to Legendary and truly ascended the throne. There were probably not many legendary forces in the kingdom that he dared not target and suppress.

The second-generation new king will definitely take further actions. Not only will those legendary families that seemed to be estranged from the royal family and maintained a joint relationship with the kingdom be targeted, but the hundreds of dragon lords under his command will also be subjected to a round of cleansing and review.

Those who have enough abilities can try to see if they can survive. Urnos will not clear out all the dragon lords, and will definitely leave a group behind. The nickname of the Atlas Kingdom is still very useful.

But the dragons with insufficient abilities should leave as soon as possible to give themselves some dignity, otherwise it would be really embarrassing if the new king finds an excuse to confiscate their territories.

Although Noah couldn't think of any excuse Urnos would use to bypass him and target the dragon lords, Noah believed that this qualified king must have a way.

"Develop the territory? I'm interested!"

"I want to participate too."

The eyes of several bronze dragons, who were originally unhappy and somewhat listless, suddenly lit up, and immediately surrounded Noah, asking with great interest,

"Are you leading the army to develop it yourself?"

"How do you calculate the land you conquer?"

"Yes, how much should we pay for the results of our development?"

The bronze dragon's question made Noah stunned for a moment, because he was originally just planning to take away the metal dragons who had no management talent in advance so that they could end their lord life decently, but the bronze dragon's question gave Noah a new idea.

Why must we give up the territory?

We can use these territories as places to collect resources and replenish troops.

Even if it is irreversible, we must empty out all the creatures and resources on the territory and take them away. It will not be over until the ground is dug down seven or eight meters.
