Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 145 Sun Archon

"No, it's such a waste of money!"

After calculating his assets, Noah gave up the idea of ​​inviting Gu Long for tea, because this was not a one-time or two-time problem. The Augustus family needed a legend who could stay there for a long time, and it was not reliable to rely on outside forces.

He could pay to invite the ancient dragon to descend once or twice, but long-term employment would come at another price. Even if Noah was as wealthy as he was, he could not afford such a cost.

It is not just a problem of cost-effectiveness. If the foundation of a force's existence relies on external combat power, it may be fine in a short period of time, but over a long period of time, it will be hard to say who will be the successor.

You know, a golden dragon in its youth and prime may travel around because it is curious about everything in the world, but once it gets older and loses its curiosity, it will focus on developing its own power.

Therefore, the Metal Ancient Dragon will never be a solitary dragon. If a Golden Dragon with its own followers and servants enters another force, then will his followers and servants follow him?

After they come over, should they be assigned a suitable position? After such a fusion, who should this power listen to in the end after a long time? Naturally, they should listen to the strongest one, so is there any need to ask?

No one knew the metallic dragon better than Noah himself, and it was a good thing that the golden dragon invited him to take shelter for a short time without establishing a close relationship.

But once he becomes a long-term protector, he is very likely to regard himself as the ruler, and even take everything for granted as his own, and plan everything. Anyone who disobeys his arrangements will be regarded as rebellious.

No matter how kind and good the metal dragons are, they are still dragons. The nature of dragons will not change because of this. It's just that their style of doing things and their methods are more acceptable than those of the color dragons.

The colorful dragons will plunder their favorite property in the most violent way. At the same time, they will also vent the tyrannical nature hidden in their blood, trample on living beings, and destroy all things. This is the nature of evil dragons.

The metal dragon clan is a little more particular. For example, the golden dragon's most famous enforcement of fishing is actually a highly targeted test. If the test is not passed, the golden dragon can naturally impose punishment and take away all the wealth of the villain.

No one would say anything about this, at least on the surface, no one could blame Jin Long, because this was punishing evil and upholding justice. As for the wealth and gains that Jin Long gained from it, these were irrelevant and not worth paying attention to.

May I ask, how many people can pass this targeted test?

A fragile and beautiful girl seeking help, with a soft voice and a soft body that is easy to push over; a seriously ill businessman with no power to protect himself but with a huge amount of money; a rare treasure that just happens to appear in front of you and can be stolen with just a stretch of your hand...

Who can suppress the evil thoughts in their heart all the time? Even if it works once, what about ten times, a hundred times? As long as it fails to control itself once, the Metal Dragon Clan will have a reason to take action.

Only saints with impeccable moral character can avoid being plundered by the metal dragons.

But there are not so many saints in the world. If you are really targeted by the Metal Dragon Clan, you basically have no choice. Of course, unless it is an extreme situation, the Metal Dragon Clan will not target the same person continuously.

Generally, if one can pass three or five tests, the Metal Dragons will basically give up the idea of ​​taking action and instead begin to appreciate the other party.

So, in some ways, the Metal Dragon Clan is indeed much stronger than the Color Dragon Clan, at least for mortals. At least they have rules and will not act recklessly.

Why don’t you think about yourself?

Gugfell's ethereal voice rang out, startling Noah, who was in distress.

"Myself? How can I do that?"

Noah retorted subconsciously, but he was not surprised by the tower spirit's overly intelligent behavior, because the tower spirit could be regarded as a constructed life form with a special state of existence, but her body was the entire Mage City.

【Why can't you? 】

"I have just been promoted. It is impossible for me to touch the legendary realm in a short time."

Jin Long was very rational. The blood of the ancestral dragon was indeed powerful, but that didn't mean that he would have the power to compete with the legend just after being promoted to the ultimate state. This was impossible.

Perhaps, when he reaches the end of the ultimate realm and senses the existence of the legendary realm, he will be able to have a chance with the gatekeeper legend just like his adoptive father Cassius did.

But it is definitely not the case now. The Ultimate is a great realm. Short-lived species such as humans divide this realm into five levels. But for dragons, such a division is only a reference and there is no need to follow it because there is no realm barrier that can hold them back.

However, even though his adoptive father Cassius, who was at the peak of his power at that time and had almost taken a step forward, only managed to break the defense of the fallen royal melee legend, but he himself was seriously injured.

From this point of view, creatures below the legendary level, no matter how talented they are, have almost no chance of competing with the legend. Only the legend can fight against the legend.

However, nothing is absolute. After all, his adoptive father is just a mixed-blood, yet he can achieve such success. But he is a pure-blooded ancestor dragon.

Although Noah doesn't think he can break through and become a legend in a short period of time, after reaching the pinnacle of the ultimate realm, he can try to challenge the gatekeeper legend. Perhaps he can compete with him or even win the battle.

However, he has just entered this realm, and it will take some time to reach this step. Although the situation is critical now, it has not developed to the point where he can consume his potential in exchange for combat power. He still has many options.

But now you own me

Gugfell's voice rang out again, its soft and glutinous tone was like the sound of a huge bell, shaking Noah's dragon soul. It was also like a wake-up call, waking the golden dragon suddenly.

[Based on my speculation about your growth period, you will not be able to break through and become a legend in a short period of time, but with my assistance, you can cause great damage to the legend, with a very small chance of causing fatal damage. You are now enough to deter the legend.]

"It was indeed my negligence!"

Noah had to admit that he had been accustomed to being a hands-off boss and a bad dragon, so much so that when he encountered difficulties, he would think of finding someone other than himself to help, and habitually ignored himself.

Now, Selina is missing and the original contract has come into effect. Noah, who was originally the first heir, now takes on the responsibility of the tower master and becomes the controller of this wonder-level magical building.

The effects and deterrent power that can be exerted by owned and unowned magic buildings are completely different, and the Mage City can be completely regarded as a super-giant amplification equipment that is difficult to carry around, and the amplification power for the mage is basically proportional to its size.

"But can I really cause fatal damage to the legend? And create a deterrent?"

Noah was very skeptical about this, because if this could really be achieved, even if Teddel broke through to become a legend, his deterrent power would not be enough, and he would not urgently need a second legend to make up for it. He could completely make up for it and form a legendary-level strategic deterrent.

It's just that when there is a little trouble, he will no longer be able to slack off from then on. The leisurely life of the past forty or fifty years can also say goodbye to him completely, and it will become a past that he can only recall.

[Your exclusive spell, Candle Sun, combined with your magic weapon, Sun Wheel, is your strongest attack method. If I provide you with unlimited magic power and grant you all the buffs, as long as you can hit the target, it will be enough to cause fatal damage to low-level legends.]

"It sounds so simple. Do you know how difficult it is to achieve this? Especially the last step. How can you achieve such an accurate hit?"

Noah complained. Legends are not wooden men who can't move. Even the melee professional legends at the bottom of the contempt chain can reach this point. Which one of them didn't fight through mountains of corpses and seas of blood?
The combat instinct and crisis perception honed by this legend are terrifying. If one cannot aim and hit, how can one cause fatal damage to the legend? As long as one can dodge a little, he will only be slightly injured or even not injured at all.

[Therefore, the tower master tailors the Sun Archon project for you]

"Wait a minute, what project?"

Although Noah was sure that his five senses were correct, he still had to confirm it again.

[Solar Archon...]

Talling Gugfel began to introduce the story in a long stream.

[This is a governance plan tailored for you by the tower master based on your proficiency in attack spells and weapons. As long as you are in the Mage City, through the Ten-sided Sunlight Mirror, your strongest attack will be able to accurately hit all targets and individual lives in the main areas of Elishim City and the surrounding twenty-seven cities.]

"This is really a thoughtful plan to suppress the enemy by combining reconnaissance and attack!"

Noah listened to Talling's introduction while looking at the screen information projected in front of him by Talling. He couldn't help but complain. A strange thought arose in his mind.

Did his adoptive father Cassius really get into trouble? It seems that his adoptive mother told him the news. He had no way to confirm whether it was true or not. His adoptive mother also fell into trouble. It was also her clone who told him about it. She also strictly warned him not to rescue her.

“When did this project start? How come I didn’t know anything about it?”

The more Noah looked, the more frightened he became, and at the same time, the more confused he became.

The core of the Solar Archon project is that as the ancestral golden dragon, he can use his strongest word spirit, Candle Sun, as long as he is willing. The attack launched by the Sun Wheel and the blessing of the Ten-sided Sun Flame Mirrors controlled by the Mage City are enough to expand to a terrifying strength that will make even legends flee in fear.

Of course, what surprised Noah the most was not this, but that under his control, the rainbow light attack, which could only go straight back and forth, could, after being transformed and blessed by the Mage City, hit any area on the territory that the Mage City could supervise.

The principle is also very simple, involving basic optical concepts such as refraction, reflection, scattering, diffraction, polarization, total reflection, diffuse reflection, etc. The Ten-sided Yangyan Mirror was made based on these concepts.

[The Sun Archon Project begins when you conquer the Eldis Mountains and kill the first multi-headed dragon with the Sun Wheel]

"Then why didn't you tell me when I asked just now?"

Noah sensed something was wrong.

[You are asking about the worst-case scenario. I don't think the Solar Archon Project is one of them. You don't need to pay anything for it. You just need to take charge of me.]

"You win."

Although he felt something was very wrong, Noah even had the illusion that his adoptive mother was hiding nearby and spying on everything. But if something really happened to his adoptive parents, he would be doomed if he held on to such a fluke and optimistic mentality. So Noah could only deal with it according to the worst-case scenario. He didn't want his good days to end like this.

"Where is the Kagerou Mirror?"

[These ten mirrors are stored in the D1 to D10 facilities respectively. If you decide to carry out the project and become the Sun Archon, I can now raise the Sun Mirror for you. ]

"Wait a minute, don't rush."

Noah quickly stopped and asked again,
"According to your calculations, where is the farthest target I can accurately hit with the help of the Flame Sun Mirror?"

Valley of Fire

"really."

Jin Long felt relieved, but also a little shocked, because the straight-line distance between the Valley of Fire and the Mage City was more than 300 kilometers, and it was still possible to hit the target accurately, which clearly showed that the effort had been prepared for a long time.

"The distance from the Valley of Fire to here is the attack radius of the Sun Archon?"

[No, the precise hit area of ​​the Sun Archon is related to my observation range. I cannot achieve perfect observation of the area within a radius of 300 kilometers of the Mage City.

The geographical location of the Valley of Fire is very special, so please make sure that the six fortresses on both sides of the valley are stable, as they will determine your accuracy in hitting that area.

"I see."

Noah thought for a moment, then immediately said,
"Show me the areas where you can do perfect surveillance."

【Please wait】

Therefore, Jin Long saw that the current Sun Archon project could accurately attack locations, basically covering all the core areas of the Augustus family. The farthest area, and also the most eye-catching area, was the Valley of Fire, which was the focus of the attack.

[I need to remind you that the current Sun Archon project has not been completed. According to the tower master's calculations and predictions, a maximum of 108 Sun Mirrors can be produced, and you will be able to use them to intimidate the East Continent.]

"Deter the East Continent! What a big pie."

Although what Tower Spirit told Noah were mostly the results of his adoptive mother's calculations, Noah didn't really believe everything he heard.

After all, Selena herself has not achieved this step, and her adoptive father Cassius can barely achieve this achievement, but Cassius's mind is too indifferent, and he has never thought about making achievements, so there is still a lot of gap.

“It’s easy to refine more Yangyan Mirrors to increase the attack range, but if you want to hit accurately, you have to have perfect observation. Otherwise, there’s no point in talking about deterrence if you can’t hit.

"Your observation range can cover the eastern continent. How far can you expand it? A world-class wonder? You really think highly of me!"

Noah could see at a glance how unrealistic it was to realize the big pie of intimidating the East Continent. Even if he really wanted to unify and annex the kingdoms and control the power of a country, it would be difficult to achieve because it was not a matter of one city or one place.

　I read in the previous chapters that it talked about why the protagonist, as an ancestor dragon, was promoted to the Ultimate, and why he couldn't fight against the legend like Cassius did, falling short of the ancestor dragon's template and deliberately suppressing his combat power.

The protagonist had just been promoted. Cassius had already stepped halfway into it. They were in the same realm, so how could they be the same? It was like earning one million a year and nine million nine hundred thousand a year. Both were seven-digit annual incomes, but how many times was the difference?

And at that time, Cassius had a collision with the legendary goalkeeper and lost half his life. I wrote it very clearly.
