Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 143: The situation was good, but it took a sharp turn for the worse
"I should have completed the task you entrusted to me when you summoned me!"

When Noah saw the six-winged angel Ophelia appearing before him again, his expression was a little subtle, because according to the publicly circulated news alone, three legends had fallen at the hands of this angel.

Although they are basically melee professions at the legendary level one or two, the legendary goalkeeper level one is considered inferior to Selina and Cassius.

But a legend is a legend. To the lives below the legend, the legend makes no difference. It doesn’t take a second strike to kill them all.

Therefore, this angel before him has been famous in the Eastern Continent for less than three months and has even been given the title of Sword of Judgment, which is extremely awe-inspiring.

Even if they had not committed any crime and had no connection with the devil, they would feel a little intimidated, after all, no one dared to say that they had not done any evil. If the judgment was wrong, the angel would have to chase and kill them with a sword.

"should?"

Although the six-winged angel in front of him had already gained fame, Noah was not at all in vain. Instead, he noticed that there was something wrong with Ophelia's words.

"What do you mean?"

"I can't confirm whether the devil who humiliated us has been killed."

Ophelia answered very honestly, and then added,
"But it is very likely among the demons I killed."

"So, you were so focused on killing the devil that you didn't even confirm his identity?"

Noah's expression was somewhat interesting. Although he felt something was wrong when the angel came across the world carrying her father's sword, he could now confirm it.

This is a female archangel with a very pure mind. She firmly believes that force can solve all problems. This was the case when she was first summoned. She thought that just killing them would be enough.

Unfortunately, the incarnation did not solve the small problem in the material world. After thinking about the reasons, he believed that it was because the incarnation was too weak, so he asked his father for the magic sword, and his true body came!
"I don't have much energy to confirm this kind of thing. I'm not good at it. However, I am sure that there are no more demons on this continent."

Ophelia explained briefly, then her voice got louder and more confident.

Because her battle results were extremely brilliant, she killed hundreds of demons, big and small, and cleared out tens of thousands of infected and corrupted believers of hell. The number of people she saved was even more difficult to count.

"Maybe!"

If the target of the cleanup was the devil, Noah might have believed it a little, but the angel in front of him believed that violence could solve all problems, and Noah didn't believe it at all. How could the devil lurking in the material world be cleaned up? This thing can never be killed.

Just like the Abyss and Hell are impossible to be destroyed. Even if the Abyss and Hell that exist objectively in the material world are destroyed, it won’t take long for these lower planes to reappear. Maybe the manifestation will be different, but the essence will not be different.

"you do not believe me?"

Although Ophelia had a pure mind, she could hear the doubts from the ancestral dragon in front of her.

How could she bear this? Wasn't it because she was chasing the devil that she was questioned by Zudailong and unilaterally expelled that she was so angry that her true form came down? On the one hand, she really couldn't stand the devil's ridicule, and on the other hand, it was because she was despised by Zudailong.

"Those are demons, how can they be cleaned up? Based on your knowledge, do you think they are so easy to kill? It's not that I don't believe you."

Noah sighed. He now suspected that the devil he had mocked was still alive and well, but was just hiding more tightly.

"..."

Ophelia was silent for a while, and realized the same thing. It was a devil, how could it be so easy to clean it up?
"I can't stay here any longer. My father is calling me."

"It's okay. There may be some demons left, but they won't dare to cause any more trouble in the coming period. There will be a period of peace."

Noah didn't care whether the angel came back or not. The unrest that had just begun to show signs of unrest had been suppressed. Perhaps it would break out again in the future, but that would not happen in a short period of time.

"If you can confirm that the devil is still alive and have found any traces of its activities, please call me immediately."

Ophelia stepped forward and handed the golden dragon a white feather surrounded by crimson flames.

"no problem."

Noah accepted the summoning feather.
"Can I ask out of curiosity, how much is the reward for summoning you to come once?"

"If your purpose in summoning me is to fight against the evil that threatens all living things and causes the world to fall, I will respond to your call and come at any time."

"free?"

"I am different from you dragons. Besides, even among the dragons, there are bronze dragons. Won't they also throw themselves into the battlefield for justice without hesitation?"

"What if it has nothing to do with the just cause of expelling evil?"

"That depends on what you're looking for me for."

"In other words, something that has nothing to do with justice and calls for your coming will require a price to be paid."

"No, I don't have time to respond to such a call."

"That's it!"

Noah nodded thoughtfully.

"What do you want to do?"

"I'm not planning anything, it's just a hypothesis. If I'm bored and want to talk to someone, I'm afraid I won't be able to consider you."

"Bored? Don't you have anything to do? Then you can join..."

The angel's eyes lit up.

"Please allow me to refuse, thank you!"

Noah interrupted her before she even finished speaking.

"You haven't heard what I'm saying yet."

"I know what you're thinking even if you don't tell me."

The angel's thinking is so rigid and stubborn that he thinks that he can solve all problems with the sword in his hand. He can even think of any suggestions he can make with the tip of his tail.
"I think I am still too young to enter your battlefield. I will consider your proposal after I become an ancient dragon."

"Where are you small?"

Ophelia was annoyed and unwilling to be rejected, but also a little amused.
"Ancient Dragon? How long will it take you to become an Ancient Dragon?"

"1000 years is not enough, 2000 years should be enough."

Ancient dragons are the tenth age group of dragons. Although in the impression of ordinary humans, ancient dragons can be equated with their legendary counterparts, in fact, the two are not equal.

Because the powerful dragons such as gold, silver, and red dragons can enter the legendary realm before becoming ancient dragons, but the black and white dragons, who are known as the shame of the dragon clan, are still outside the legendary realm even if they become ancient dragons. "The battlefield is not as scary as you think."

Ophelia had a preliminary understanding of this ancestral dragon, which was simply incomprehensible.

"Of course, an ordinary battlefield is not scary, but a battlefield that requires an army of angels to join is too scary."

Among the Golden Dragon clan, too many members participated in the Heavenly War, and there are too many descriptions related to this in the inherited memories.

In the most frequent conflicts and small-scale wars, legendary-level combat power can basically save your life, so there is no problem.

But if the specifications are slightly higher, the demon lord and the king of evil will end up in the situation. Those are monsters that can only be suppressed by the gods.

In a high-level battlefield where even gods may show up, legends, to put it bluntly, are nothing more than large cannon fodder. The purpose of their existence is to attract the attention of the opponent's highest-level combat forces, consume their strength, and strive to tilt the balance of victory slightly in their favor.

How could Noah possibly set foot on such a battlefield? Although a war of this magnitude might not break out once in a hundred years, if it did, there would be consequences.

The most important thing is that the battlefield in heaven is not bound by the rules of the material plane, and the gods can attack with all their strength. In Noah's eyes, the danger is extremely high, so he will not go out.

Therefore, no matter how the angel talked, Noah remained unmoved. No matter what glory or artifact, they were nothing compared to his own life. Before the potential of his bloodline was fully tapped, Noah would not even look at a battlefield of this level.

Finally, the angel returned to heaven with reluctance and resentment, and the incident caused by a holy dragon accidentally summoning a high-level angel came to an end.

The Eastern Continent prospered again, everything seemed so harmonious and beautiful, even wars became less frequent, but small-scale conflicts increased a lot, and the open and covert struggles in the shadows were extremely fierce.

After the angels left, everyone had no scruples, and after the demons and their minions were cleared out, too many benefits and gaps were left behind, and some people couldn't wait to divide up the benefits and fill the gaps.

However, these have nothing to do with the Augustus family. The interests that the Augustus family needs have already been arranged and delivered to their doorstep by someone else.

The family, which has already become the most powerful family in the kingdom, is slowly digesting many benefits and strengthening its foundation with an efficiency and speed that many legendary families envy.

"How long have you been here? Are you leaving again?"

"I've rested long enough this time."

"You're almost a demon hunter part-time, and you call this a rest?"

After hearing the conversation between his adoptive father and mother, Noah realized that after Cassius came back, he had basically been busy searching for the traces of demons every day, and he had killed quite a few demons.

The disappearance of the demons in the East Continent and the current peace, stability, prosperity and harmony are partly due to Cassius, but all the credit is attributed to the angels.

"That can't even be called a fight, it's just a rest."

Facing his partner's questioning, Cassius just smiled easily.

He returned to the legendary realm. Although he was not as powerful as his former peak self without the blessing of Titan blood, with his experience of breaking through the legend for the second time and his increasingly sophisticated combat skills, hunting down demons was a piece of cake for him. Even the legendary demons could not stand up to him.

"How long do you plan to be away this time?"

Selina knew she couldn't change Cassius's decision.

"I didn't make any plans. I just went out and traveled as I pleased."

"You are such a casual person. I am so busy every day, but you are so carefree outside. When you come back next time, if you don't bring me some satisfactory gifts, I will never let you go."

Serena cursed.

"When have I ever disappointed you?"

Cassius laughed.

"Since you stripped me of my bloodline, you've never satisfied me!"

"cough!"

The young-looking Cassius coughed lightly and looked at the golden dragon who was eavesdropping openly at the side.

"Noah, I will be away for a long time and it will be difficult for me to come back in a short time. Please help your aunt with the family affairs."

"it is good."

This was a matter of course, and Noah agreed immediately.

The ordinary separation was so common in the eyes of Jin Long. This adoptive father always couldn't stay still and liked to run outside, even after his bloodline was stripped away, he was still like this. Noah had gotten used to it, but his adoptive mother didn't seem to be used to it.

“What a great day!”

This was the most emotional thing Noah expressed after Cassius left in a low-key manner again, because in his perception, everything was going so smoothly, which made him extremely satisfied.

Sometimes, Noah couldn't help but sigh and wonder if he was the luckiest golden dragon in the world. Is there any other dragon who could live a more comfortable life than him?

But not long after this thought came to his mind, Noah received a call from his adoptive mother.

"what happened?"

Because of the excessive concentration of magic power, many strange wizard cities were formed. For Noah, they were no different from dragon nests. He had the first authority after Selina, but Noah still liked to stay in the territory most of the time.

Because no matter how good the Mage City is, he is not the one who controls it now. With Zudailong's personality, living in such a place still makes him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Cassius is in trouble again."

The mage, who had a face as delicate as a young girl and a body full of vitality and energy, sighed softly. It was not the first time that Noah heard such news, but he was very calm and had the leisure to ask,
"Do you know what it is?"

After all, practice makes perfect. Now both Noah and Selina are relatively calm. Of course, the most important thing is that,
"I'm not sure, but I can sense his location, so I plan to go over and take a look. It will probably take some time. During this time, you will take charge of the Mage City for me, and you will be responsible for handling all matters."

"Ah, I'm not very familiar with it!"

Noah subconsciously wanted to refuse. The affairs of the Augustus family were so busy now that even a legendary wizard would feel tired.

"I will leave a clone behind."

"That's okay."

Jin Long calmed down and watched his adoptive mother leave with great optimism. Then,
"Noah!"

The girl who was handling the matter raised her head and looked at the golden dragon beside her with an apologetic look.

"Something happened to my original body, and this clone will soon be implicated."
