Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 109: Carrying the Mountain Back
Two adult golden dragons revealed their true forms and entered the Mage City which the Augustus family had not yet completed building without any concealment. Such a grand display immediately suppressed all the turmoil and unrest caused by Cassius's long absence.

However, Noah knew that all this was only temporary, and the tests were still going on, but they had become more cautious, because although his parents were very strong, they were still one step away from becoming legends, and it would take them hundreds of years to cross this step.

The existence of adult golden dragons has great strategic significance for the Augustus family. Not only do they possess combat power that ranks among the best in the dragon clan, but more importantly, each golden dragon has a huge network of relationships. This is the most feared aspect of the metal dragon clan.

No one could predict what he would do if he offended an adult golden dragon. It would not be surprising if he attracted several ancient dragons.

Noah doesn't have to worry anymore, but his life is not easy either.

"Noah, what do you think of this armor?"

The high elf with shining golden hair looked confident as he placed a platinum sacred armor in front of Noah and invited his son to appreciate it.

"Quite good looking."

Noah could tell at a glance that this was a set of armor from heaven, and should have been worn by an archangel of a high rank, because the aura on the armor automatically dissipated and formed an illusory six-winged angel on the back.

"Yeah, it seems that our appreciation level is the same. Why don't you try it on? Try it on. I think you will look handsome in it!"

"This is a full body armor. The faceplate is lowered, not even the eyes are exposed. You can tell without wearing it."

Noah couldn't help but complain.

"Wait a moment then. I think I have a set of half-body light armor in my collection."

Angelis still didn't give up and went to look through his collection again. Seeing this, Noah was helpless and sighed.

He discovered that the biggest objection his biological father had to him was that they had huge differences in aesthetic tastes, which was why their first meeting was not very harmonious.

Most of the metal dragons prefer the humanoid form, so after mastering the art of transformation, they can't wait to transform and mingle among humanoid civilizations.

The most typical of them is not the golden dragon, but the silver dragon. The silver dragon can perform transformation and become humanoid when it breaks out of its shell. This is engraved in its blood, which is even more outrageous than the golden dragon.

Therefore, when Noah's dragon father and mother returned, they expected to see a delicate and beautiful humanoid boy waiting to greet them.

But what they saw was a golden dragon with broad dragon wings that the golden dragon did not have, and it maintained its original shape. This was really beyond their expectations.

So much so that they almost thought their children were too stupid to become young dragons, but it turned out that they couldn't even use the spell of Transfiguration.

Who can be in a good mood?
After understanding the situation, Angelis, who reacted more strongly, discovered that their child was not only not stupid, but also had talents so good that even the geniuses among the short-lived species would be amazed.

However, as a rare genius among the dragon clan, Noah has habits that are different from most golden dragons. He does not like to become a human, rejects the human form, and likes to maintain his original dragon body for a long time.

Orthea didn't have much objection to this. As a mother, she was more tolerant. It was enough for her to know that her son was a genius. On the contrary, Angelis found it difficult to accept this.

To be honest, Noah didn't hate turning into a human form. It was mainly because changing from a dragon to a human was a huge weakening. He couldn't understand it, and couldn't accept the bloody drop in various basic physical values.

He explained to his father why he didn't like to become a human, and his father agreed with his reasons.
Then, Angelis began to show Noah the many pieces of armor in his collection, trying to use the rare and precious extraordinary armor to bring his son's aesthetic back to what he believed to be the right track.

Angelis believes that by wearing extraordinary armor and using the many extraordinary properties of the armor, the basic values ​​lost after transformation can be compensated.

Noah also admitted that this was indeed an effective solution, but the extraordinary armor that could make up for the power he lost after becoming a human was already of a very high grade. This armor could also provide additional extraordinary properties.

But he will continue to grow, and his strength will continue to increase, but the armor's defensive strength and extraordinary properties cannot grow together.

Not to mention a thousand years later, within the foreseeable four hundred years, there must be at least a set of armor that can make up for an adult dragon. Armor of this level is at least legendary level, that is, a legendary battle armor that can be famous all over the world and have its own legends and story collections.

Where can I find armor of this level?

"If you are willing to pass on some of your armor collection to me, I can change my habits."

Noah has a very correct attitude towards his father who is tirelessly trying to "correct" his aesthetic taste.

He no longer asked his biological father for vulgar gold and silver items that would hurt the relationship between them. As long as his father was willing to give him some of his collection of armor, it was not impossible for his aesthetic views to change.

Having gotten the advantage, Noah was naturally willing to act like a good boy and be a filial son who would please his father.

"I can lend it to you to try it out."

This was a concession made by Angelis.

"How long can it be borrowed? Two thousand years?"

Jin Long's eyes lit up. It would be fine if his father was willing to lend the money for a longer period of time.

"Noah, my collection took a lot of effort and I accumulated it slowly."

Angelis's face froze, and then he earnestly told his son how much effort he had put in to collect these precious pieces of armor, and he wanted his son to understand his own difficulties and hardships.

"profound!"

Noah lay back down in a bad mood. Lao Deng, bah, the old father didn't want to explode the treasure chest, so the golden dragon naturally didn't want to wrong himself, and did whatever he wanted.

Although Angelis was unwilling to give up, every time he talked to Noah, his son would always offer to inherit part of his armor collection to end the topic.

As an adult dragon, Angris naturally could not make concessions on issues involving his bottom line. No dragon at its peak would divide its property with other dragons, even if they were his own offspring.

Noah felt relieved after finding a way to control his father, but he was troubled by his mother.

The seemingly gentle mother is much more difficult to deal with than the straightforward father. Noah fell in love with his father's collection, but his mother fell in love with his collection.

"Noah, it's such a waste to use such a large piece of solar meteorite gold as a bed. Why don't I help you design and forge a piece of equipment?"

This was a suggestion made by Orthea after she "accidentally" learned about some of Noah's treasures and took the initiative to find Noah.

"What do you think of a magical weapon that matches your dragon body?" Faced with such a proposal, Noah had to admit that he was indeed tempted, but Noah was more afraid that Orthea would be attracted to the Sun Meteorite Gold.

The trust between dragons is actually very fragile. Noah believes that as long as he gives the solar meteorite gold to his mother, Orthea should be able to design a magical weapon for him that will satisfy him.

But how much lighter the weapons that were finally handed over to him would be than the original materials? That was hard to say.

This is similar to ordinary gold and silver craftsmen. If you give them precious metals to make jewelry, even if you keep an eye on them the whole time, some of them are bound to be stolen. It all depends on their conscience.

Noah really didn't want to gamble with his own mother's conscience, because that would challenge the dragon's nature.

"Mother, can you design magic weapons? Can you teach me? I want to learn."

This is Noah's response.

"Once I learn it, I can design a satisfactory weapon myself."

“This is a difficult course.”

“So far, I have not found anything that I cannot learn.”

So, Noah officially began to study with his mother. Although this was a field he had never set foot in, Selena's evaluation of him as a genius in all fields was well-deserved.

Therefore, the learning talent shown by Noah also amazed his biological mother, and even gave her an inappropriate illusion:
Is this really the dragon cub that I can give birth to?
In Noah's subjective consciousness, time passed quietly in the pleasant and relaxed learning process. As the days passed, Noah observed carefully and found that his adoptive mother smiled more often and the heaviness in her eyes seemed to have disappeared.

Is adoptive father okay?
Noah knew his adoptive mother well enough to infer her mood from her micro-expressions, so Jin Long came to this conclusion.

Not long after, Noah's inference was confirmed. A mountain with a gleaming metallic luster all over it crashed into the sky above the city of Elishim, or to be more precise, it tore a huge gap in the sky.

When one end of the mountain passed through the space crack, tilted downward, and slowly descended to the ground, countless people exclaimed in fear, and screamed uncontrollably.

But soon someone saw that the mountain was not falling, because at the bottom of the mountain, there was a tall giant who was carrying the entire mountain on his shoulders and was descending across space.

Come against the mountain!

As the giant's footsteps crossed the space, the sky seemed to collapse at that moment, and endless lightning snakes danced wildly in the sky. However, thousands of thunders only lingered around this giant, just like a king and his ministers welcoming the returning king.

"It's been such a short time since we last met, and Cassius is already exaggerating like this?"

Before Noah could exclaim, his father blurted out what he wanted to say, because they had been separated from Cassius the longest.

For dragons, it was only a short period of thirty years, but the changes in their former friends were so great that it was beyond their comprehension.

There are many people who rise rapidly in a short period of time, especially in times of chaos and turmoil. But in today's world, there is no way to find a second person who can become so powerful in such a short time, even if you travel through hundreds of planes.

"This mountain?"

Noah's attention soon fell on his adoptive father's shoulders. The mountain that was specially carried back was actually a mine.

“It’s going to be published!”

The golden dragon's eyes soon lit up, and with just a slight identification, he discovered the star iron distributed in dots. The common refined gold, secret silver and mountain copper were even more widely distributed. There were also traces of the rarer rare metals such as wind silver and secret gold.

Three years ago, when his adoptive father was preparing to go on a long journey, he promised him that he would bring him a huge surprise that would surpass the one his adoptive mother gave him.

Although it is impossible to give him the entire mine, a part of it must belong to him.

Noah is extremely confident about this.

"Cassius, be careful!"

The radiant Selina appeared above the city of Elisim. She raised her staff high, pulling the elements into a torrent to assist her husband in unloading the huge mine on his shoulders bit by bit.

"Finally, I can rest assured!"

Although he didn't know what happened to his adoptive father, judging from the current situation, the matter should have been resolved perfectly, which was enough for Noah.

"My life is getting back on track."

The return of his adoptive father not only means that the Augustus family has regained its backbone, but more importantly, it also means that Noah's biological parents will also leave.

This golden dragon couple is extremely busy. According to their own statements, they often join their friends from Heaven Mountain in the battlefield against the invasion of the abyss, so they are extremely busy.

If their friends hadn't looked for them, they wouldn't have come here, because they were participating in the great cause of saving the world, just from another dimension.

Noah respected and understood his parents' choice, but when it came to him participating in the same cause, he felt it was better to just sleep on it. The demons in the abyss were endless, and more people would die if they killed each other than if they launched a war against other nations.

Cassius's powerful return, even if he did nothing, suppressed all the commotion, and the turbulent darkness became extremely calm.

The big goblins reported to Noah for several days in a row that all the workshops had returned to peace and there was no spying. As a result, the big and small goblins relaxed and no longer had to patrol day and night.

“Peace is wonderful!”

The sense of security brought by great power allowed Noah to once again enjoy the prosperity and heyday of Augustus with peace of mind, but the golden dragon soon noticed it.

Although the adoptive father returned in an extremely shocking way, his condition was not as good as it seemed, and something was extremely wrong.

"Uncle, what happened to your hair?"

In Noah's memory, his adoptive father was tall and sturdy, with a resolute face. He looked younger than Teddel and had a domineering spirit. However, there was a tiredness in his eyes that Noah had never seen before, and a strand of white hair on his temples was extremely eye-catching.
