Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

"Are all the gods now so generous?"

Noah began to look forward to it after he noticed that there was something strange happening in the cult of gods in the territory, and he invariably investigated the border court where he had blatantly seduced gods.

For all those who gather faith and try to light the divine fire, the attitude of the gods is the same, which is to mobilize all the power in the secular world to strangle them, including but not limited to seance at critical moments.

Noah has heard that in all major planes, there is a special group that specializes in hunting false gods and demigods. Its main members are high-level legends from major churches. In other words, this hunting god The background of the group is the gods.

The legends who join this group can even temporarily put aside their prejudices caused by their beliefs, reach an agreement on the matter of hunting the gods, cooperate with each other, and achieve a win-win situation.

Of course, it is impossible for the righteous gods to deny the existence of this group and worship and believe in their legends with the believers of evil gods, let alone to achieve cooperation on any matter.

Therefore, even the Dragon Clan, which has a long heritage, is not sure whether this group really exists, but only knows some rumors.

But what can be confirmed is that there are indeed some famous and highly anticipated aspirants who were hunted by unknown forces and died tragically.

The road to becoming a god is destined to be an extremely difficult thing. Those who ascend to the gods are violating the core interests of the gods from the beginning, and will naturally be strangled by the gods mercilessly.

Noah didn't want to challenge the legendary hunting group, he was just curious about the reaction of the gods. It was undeniable that there was a sense of excitement in challenging taboos.

Because he did not have any plan to become a god, he was just able to use the power of faith. This did touch the realm of the gods, but it did not touch their core interests.

To a certain extent, this was a misunderstanding, but the gods would always rather kill by mistake than let go of any mortal who tried to threaten their status.

Therefore, Noah was very much looking forward to the reaction of the gods, but the problem was that he waited for a long time. By the time the judicial purge in his territory had come to an end.

The paladin reservists and the relatively young paladin began to gradually take over the work and restructure the judicial order. When all this was about to end, the gods showed little reaction. The originally active and restless sect calmed down. .

This greatly disappointed Noah, so he lamented that the current gods were different from what he knew. He remembered that the gods were quite cold and merciless in this regard.

"This is a dragon-hunting arrow that is powerful enough to hunt an ancient dragon. Its arrow body is forged from the shattered fragments of the main war artifact used by a fallen god.

Although the divinity has been dissipated and there is no divine power to nourish it, it can still penetrate the dragon scales of the ancient dragon easily, even the golden dragon is no exception. "

In the secret room covered with the runes of the holy words of the gods, the old bishop, whose face was as old and shriveled as a dead tree, wore gloves blessed by the gods. He used tools from a long and narrow box engraved with many runes of the holy words to draw a lingering black... He took out the ominous red crossbow arrow and placed it on the stone platform in front of him. His movements were cautious, as if there was something poisonous that would turn to ashes at the slightest touch.

"Is this forged from artifact fragments?"

Sitting opposite the bishop, Legend, whose face was covered by a black gold mask, looked at the fierce thing placed in front of him. The covered facial muscles couldn't help but twitch, because at this moment, every part of his body was filled with flesh and blood. All are trembling, all are clamoring, warning him to stay away from this arrow,

"Which evil god's artifact is this?"

"It's not an evil god, but a righteous god with the [Hunter] priesthood. It's just that he fell too long ago, so his artifact has lost its brilliance.

It doesn't matter. The artifact fragments are just the base material for forging this dragon-hunting arrow. Enough to penetrate any dragon's defense. "

The old bishop corrected him, and at the same time began to introduce the origin of this fierce creature again.

"What can really make the ancient dragon fall to death is its arrowhead. It is the Dragon Meteor Crystal condensed from the tormented dragon souls of one hundred and eighteen evil dragons, full of resentment and hatred."

Listening to the old bishop's introduction, the summoned dragon hunters looked at the arrows that had a black crystal texture. The ominous black energy lingering around the arrows also originated from this.

If you look carefully, you can seem to see the particles that make up the black mist. They are clearly the wailing and roaring dragon bones and skeletons one after another. The gloom, darkness, resentment, sin... all the hatred and disgust towards dragons in the world seem to be condensed. Here it is.

"However, the core of the Dragon Devouring Arrow comes from the blessings from three ministers with the [Hunting] priesthood, especially the one with [Dragon Hunting] as the main priesthood. The weapons blessed by him are all It is the best dragon-hunting treasure in the world.”

"Is this arrow disposable?"

After listening to the old bishop's introduction, the dragon hunter who was sent here asked.

"Of course it's a one-time use. Don't you want to get it back after you shoot it out? Aren't you afraid of being torn apart by the dragon's followers?"

There was a look of surprise on the old bishop's face.

"Even if you can get it back, the only thing that can be used again is the arrow body. The dragon soul crystal used as the arrow and the blessings of those majesties will definitely disappear, provided that you can hit the target."

"Are you sure you can kill him with one blow?"

"Of course, although this is a killing weapon specially made for dragons, it is also extremely deadly to those of us who don't have dragon blood."

The old bishop raised his palm, and the gloves emitting a faint golden light, he didn't dare to touch even the protective gear blessed by the words of the gods.

"Very good."

The dragon hunter who was unwilling to reveal his identity and origin nodded,

"Well, now I only have one last question."

"Please go ahead."

"How can I get close to the holy dragon?"

"..."

"..."

After the dragon hunter asked the question, the secret room protected by a certain god suddenly fell into a long silence. The dragon hunter wearing a black and gold mask said nothing. In the end, the old bishop who was responsible for providing weapons could not bear it anymore.

"How to get close to the holy dragon? Shouldn't this be a problem that you should consider solving?"

"According to the convention, it is indeed my responsibility to solve it, but the target you want to target this time is too special. I have carefully investigated it. Whether it is teleportation, shadow jumping, or fixed-point squatting, I have no way to get close to this dragon."

The answer with a metallic tremor echoed in the secret room, and the cold voice revealed great helplessness.

As a professional dragon hunter, he hated the metal dragons the most, not only because of the complex network of relationships of the metal dragons, but also because the metal dragons' self-defense was far superior to that of the chromatic dragons, gem dragons, and the ferrous dragons.

And the golden dragon he was recruited to face was even more extreme in this respect, to the point of being abnormal.

Not to mention that this dragon built a magnificent magic palace complex for itself on the mountains, just outside these mountains, there is a magic wonder connected by magic towers.

This magic city also serves this dragon. This kind of defense specification is the first time he has encountered it since he started his career as a dragon hunter.

That would be fine, but the key is that this dragon is obviously very active in government affairs, but it just doesn't show up. Even in the main city of its territory, there are very few reports of sightings of this dragon.

No, not very few. All descriptions of this dragon are similar to stories and legends. The people in this land can confirm the real existence of the holy dragon, but no one has ever seen this dragon.

This greedy, tyrannical, and bloodthirsty dragon lord is the most homely dragon he has ever seen. There is absolutely no way to approach him.

"So, you can only provide a solution to this problem. I can't do anything."

"We have found a forbidden weapon that can kill with one blow. Now we have to find a way to help you get close to the dragon? Then why do we ask you to come?"

The archbishop's tone revealed an incredible color,

"Why don't we do it ourselves?"

"Because you don't want to bear the consequences of hunting a legendary golden dragon, so you need me to pull the trigger and shoot this crossbow into the heart of the dragon."

The dragon hunter responded coldly, and he had a very clear positioning of himself.

His profession is a profession where the return rate is proportional to the risk, but even in their small circle, there are very few people who are willing or dare to attack the metal dragon clan.

Because targeting metal dragons, the return and risk are completely disproportionate, and it has been unbalanced. Unless someone has an extreme hatred for dragons, no one dares to target metal dragons.

He is one of them. That is why, even though he is a legend, he dare not show his face, even to his employer.

"... You are right. We are unwilling to bear the consequences of hunting the legendary golden dragon."

The archbishop was silent for a while, and said slowly,

"But we have no legitimate way to provide you."

"Your church can't even see that dragon? Your status is so low?"

The dragon hunter couldn't help but blurt out, and the shriveled muscles on the archbishop's cheek twitched fiercely,

"It's not that our church is of low status, it's that the dragon doesn't see any religious leaders!"

"So the dragon is deliberately suppressing the belief in the gods? You can't even tolerate this? You actually want me to kill the dragon by assassination."

The dragon hunter's tone revealed a kind of confusion and incomprehension.

During the investigation, he had already discovered that in this land ruled by dragons, the number of believers who believe in the true God is far less than the number of believers who believe in dragons.

The most ridiculous thing is that the dragon did not actively promote his faith. There was no temple built for him on his land, and there was no priest preaching for him.

"He did not suppress the faith of the gods. Any orthodox church can build a temple on his land as long as it notifies him."

Although hostility has arisen and he is planning to do something illegal, the old bishop will not deny or slander the dragon.

"But it is precisely because there are too many churches spreading faith that no church can dominate the faith in this land. Instead, the fools who believe in this dragon dominate the mainstream."

"..."

The dragon hunter did not comment. Although he hated the dragon clan, he had to admit that the quality of life of the people in the dragon's territory far exceeded that of most of the countries he had visited before. Only the upper planes such as the heavens and the Heaven Mountain could compare.

"In that case, let's cancel the contract. I choose to give up the mission!"

"Give up? You are..."

There was a look of astonishment on the Archbishop's face. He knew some of the details of the dragon hunter in front of him who claimed to be a loner and not affiliated with any force.

Without some special background, this guy who dared to attack the Metal Dragon Clan would not be able to survive until now. It is precisely because of need that he can still operate in some dark places.

"I am willing to die on the way to hunt dragons, but that doesn't mean I can die meaninglessly."

The black gold dragon hunter interrupted the old bishop's speech without mercy,

"Do you think I can see this dragon if I force my way in without a legitimate and reasonable channel?"

"..."

The Archbishop fell silent again.

"The identity of this dragon is too special. This is probably why you came to me. But I can only tell you with great regret that I can't do it."

The black gold dragon hunter glanced at the forbidden arrow in front of him with some regret, claiming that even the ancient golden dragon could be killed on the spot.

He wanted to try the feeling of shooting this arrow into the chest of the God-conferring Dragon, but the dragon's protection against him was too extreme, and he couldn't find any chance.

Of course, he could choose to squat. After all, according to records, the dragon would still fly into the sky and patrol the territory, but this time would be too long. He would spend decades or even hundreds of years squatting with a dragon? And there's no way to get too close.

"I'm willing to pay the price of breach of contract."

"No, no need, I will report the reasons you raised."

The Archbishop shook his head.

"How could you just sit back and watch this dragon grow so big?"

The dragon hunter couldn't help but ask,

"If this dragon stays in his palace, there is nothing you can do against him unless your god is willing to come."

"Since you have chosen to give up, what happens next has nothing to do with you."

The old bishop's expression had lost much of his mood swings and had returned to its original indifference.

"I know that you are not the only one who hired me, but their final decision will not be any different from mine. People like us are not afraid of sacrifice, but we will never let our lives go to waste."

"You know?"

"If I can't even tell the difference between my own kind, I would be too incompetent."
