Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 212: Urnos is assassinated, father and son smile

"What a genius idea, worthy of me!"

The golden sun shines on the lush and vibrant land. All living things are enjoying the blessings from the sun. Under the sunlight, all animals and plants are changing silently but extremely rapidly.

Noah looked at his adoptive mother who was boasting and talking big, and he weakly spit out a stream of fire. He was too lazy to say a word because he really had no strength left.

The essence of the so-called sun was clearly revealed in his eyes. It was just a super-large magical device that would rise and fall continuously according to the trajectory of the sun's projection.

It completely replaced the sun projection and became the sun in the eyes of many creatures in the Dragon Realm, bestowing blessings on them at all times that could help them further transform into dragons.

That’s right, the super-large magic device named after one of Noah’s titles is an artificial celestial body that can replace Noah’s existence and continuously radiate the power of the dragonization field.

The technical content is not very complicated, because the most valuable thing is the real blood provided by Noah, which is not one or two drops, but twelve drops.

If it were an ordinary dragon, it would have been drained dry twice and could have reported to the Dragon God.

Although Noah could hold on, he still felt quite tired after separating so much real blood in a short period of time. Therefore, he scoffed at his adoptive mother's idea of ​​claiming to be a genius.

"With this golden sun, this Dragon Domain is truly worthy of its name. Even if we throw a dog in, as long as it can survive, it can become a dragon dog in less than ten days!"

The girl admired her masterpiece and was very satisfied.

Although her adopted son had paid a lot, she had also paid a lot, because ordinary plant and animal species simply could not survive here, so she built her own botanical garden and ecological park.

This demiplane, which is still growing, can have such a flourishing land and mountains in just half a year. She has made an indispensable contribution to this, because she has really spent a lot of money.

This time, the investment was not just because she favored her adopted son, but because his project caught her attention, so she provided many living specimens of species from her own collection.

"Dragon dog? Even if you throw a lion scorpion in here right now, it may not survive for ten days."

Noah lowered his head and looked down. From a high altitude, he could not see any difference between the Dragon Realm and an ordinary demiplane, nor could he detect anything unusual.

But Noah, as the source of everything, could clearly feel how greedy and hungry every blade of grass and every tree below was.

There are no plants in the Dragon Realm as understood by the outside world. All the plants here, even a small flower, have biological characteristics. Simply put, these guys are carnivores.

This is certainly not the influence of Noah's dragon blood. Noah will never take the blame for this. The golden dragon's bloodline is not so bad.

The main reason is that many of the species specimens provided by the foster mother have serious problems, such as mist thorns, night ghost grass, soul catcher, ghost tentacles, nightmare vines, dream eater grass... Naturally, there are no good species that can be collected into the botanical garden by a legendary wizard.

Noah was actually against it at first, but he couldn't stand his adoptive mother's confident questioning.

"What is your purpose in building the Dragon Domain? Are you building a dragon playground? But I clearly remember that you wanted to select followers who can inherit the blood of your ancestors. Am I mistaken?"

So the Golden Dragon tacitly allowed his foster mother to add elements to the Dragon Domain. With the full support of this legendary wizard, to some extent, the Dragon Domain, which was more terrifying than hell, appeared.

Those plants, which were already extremely troublesome and thorny, underwent extremely serious mutations under the erosion of dragon blood, and many of them became special varieties with both biological and plant characteristics.

This further increases the difficulty for creatures to survive in the Dragon Domain. However, as the foster mother said, those who can survive in such a harsh environment must be very excellent and outstanding fighting races. The weak are not qualified to survive in the Dragon Domain.

"Lion scorpion? You can try."

Selena is in a very high spirit. Even an unintentional conversation can give her new ideas and help her put them into practice.

"Why don't you throw in tens of thousands of wild dogs and see if any of them will survive and evolve into dragon dogs."

"It's also okay!"

"Then you might as well just kill them."

Not to mention ordinary wild dogs, even if a ferocious wolf was thrown in, it would still provide a snack for the plants here.

"Come to think of it, why don't you consider moving some intelligent species in? Miracles are more likely to happen among a population of beings that have wisdom and emotions."

"I can consider amending the code to make Dragon Territory the place of detention for serious criminals and death row prisoners."

This was Noah's answer.

In his opinion, throwing innocent intelligent life forms into the Dragon Realm was too cruel and violated the moral code of the Golden Dragon.

"Tsk, unnecessary kindness."

This was also Selina's evaluation, but the girl rolled her eyes and came up with an idea. This was not a problem for a knowledgeable legendary wizard.

"How about moving some orcs, kobolds, troglodytes, or goblins in? Oh, and you can also move some sahuagin into the ocean. According to your dragon standards, these are not considered intelligent races."

"Sahuagin? You can give it a try."

Among the several races listed by the adoptive mother, the most civilized are the Shahua fishermen. They not only have their own language, but also have gods they believe in. They can build cities on the seabed and have clear upper and lower classes.

To be more fair, the Shahua fishmen are one of the civilized races in the ocean. Even though these Shahua fishmen often rob merchant ships and loot coastal villages and cities, they are veritable sea demons.

But their actions are regulated, systemic and commanded. There is no doubt that they are intelligent species with brains and the ability to think.

But unfortunately, bronze dragons love the flesh of Shahua fishmen very much, and in order to distinguish themselves from color dragons, the metallic dragons announced that they would not feed on intelligent creatures.

Therefore, the Shahua people were expelled from the ranks of intelligent species, and the word "civilization" had nothing to do with them. They were just monsters in the ocean.

In view of the heinous crimes committed by the Shahua people, no race other than the murlocs spoke up for them, and everyone basically accepted the Bronze Dragon Clan's classification of the Shahua people.

As the eldest brother of the metal dragon clan, the gold dragon naturally agrees with the bronze dragon's definition of the Shahua people. It is impossible to let its own kind go without food, right? This is too cruel. As for the grievances and blood and tears of the Shahua people, who cares? They are just a group of natural pirates and bandits. It is their honor to be the food of the bronze dragon and satisfy the taste buds of the bronze dragon.

The reason why Noah recalled the Shahua people now was because he remembered the racial characteristics of the Shahua people. The blood of the Shahua people was extremely unstable and it was very easy for blood mutations to occur. Especially when the external environment changed drastically, it was even more likely for mutants to be born.

This is a race of monsters with strong adaptability and extremely strong reproductive ability. If it were not for the insufficient upper limit of racial bloodline, this race of monsters that can be encountered in any area with water might become the overlord of the ocean.

Now, of course, it is the favorite delicacy of bronze dragons. At the same time, it is also an experimental species selected by a certain holy dragon. Noah is very much looking forward to the performance of the fishmen in the dragon domain.

When Noah opened up a demiplane in a very low-key manner and conducted biological experiments quietly, a huge change suddenly occurred in the Atlas Kingdom, which had been peaceful for twelve years.

The second monarch Urnos was assassinated!

This was a big news that shocked the Kingdom of Atlas and the whole country. The news even spread throughout the upper reaches of the Zealandia continent in a very short time.

Many great nobles, legendary families, and major forces such as the Silvermoon Court, the Raven Land, and the Star Tower are all verifying the authenticity of this news.

After confirming that the information was accurate, these forces wanted to know the cause and course of the incident, especially the extent of the injuries of the King of Atlas.

By now, Urnos had consolidated his power and authority, and he had proven to all the legends in the country that he was qualified to sit on the throne and become the king ruling over 60 million people.

The way to prove it is also very simple, just like the strong males in the herd select the true leader and have a hearty fight.

Using battles to measure the strength of each other. Although it is a crude and primitive method, it must be said that it is very effective. All political means and conspiracies seem ridiculous in the face of real power.

Thus, when Urnos proved himself to be stronger than most of the legendaries in the kingdom, his throne was secured.

He did not need to expend his energy within the kingdom. He could focus his attention outside the kingdom. He did not need to pay attention to the intrigues and schemes among the nobles and officials below.

He doesn't need to get involved and compete with these guys. He can just sit high above them and act as a mediator, controller and resource allocator.

Urnos holds the royal power firmly in his hands. The kingdom and even the outside world have become accustomed to and accepted this strong and overbearing king. Many forces are ready to give in and endure for a long time.

However, in the twelfth year of this ambitious king's ambition, he was assassinated, and the assassin escaped. The King of Atlas did not even keep the assassin in the palace.

There is no doubt that this was a huge blow to the king's authority, not to mention those legendary families and nobles who dared not say anything about it and chose to watch silently.

Those fearless little nobles, as well as many lower-class people and adventurers in the taverns and private places throughout the streets and alleys, all talked about it with relish. The assassination of the king was the hottest topic for them at the moment.

They didn't have any ulterior motives, or even any malicious intent. They were simply discussing and expressing their opinions based on their own understanding.

But it can also be seen that Urnos's authority was damaged after this incident. Some small nobles and ignorant adventurers who knew nothing dared to judge him based on just a few words.
"Our king is not powerful at all. He is not as powerful as the first king."

"That's right. Look at the pointed ears now. They are so arrogant. When the first king was here, they would never dare to do this."

"This is all the result of our king's indulgence."

When Noah walked out of the Dragon Realm and learned the news of Urnos' assassination, it was already the fifth day after the incident broke out.

"Who is so bold? To assassinate Urnos in the royal city."

Even though five days had passed, no reliable news had circulated, and even the identity of the assassin was unclear.

At least the common people and many nobles in the kingdom did not know about it, but a lot of groundless rumors were flying around, and they sounded very detailed.

However, Noah was naturally not affected by these false news. Ever since he took the opportunity to beat up his nephew at his coronation ceremony, Noah's relationship with him has recovered a lot.

"It's my boy, Wayne!"

When Noah asked the person directly, all the confusion and doubts disappeared.

"He refuses to acknowledge that I am his father."

Sitting on the throne, the still heroic young king now showed a look of fatigue on his face that he had never had before.

"Oh, that's it."

Why would the King of Atlas be assassinated in his own palace, and let the assassin escape without even detaining him?

Because this is an internal family conflict, and it is not a plot between a regicide and a monarch at all.

The father who thought he had everything under control wanted to find his son who he had left alone for more than 30 years, but ended up being mercilessly mocked by reality.

However, even in the face of such a situation, as a father, it is impossible for him to kill his son. Urnos is indeed very indifferent to his offspring, but he still gives them everything they should give.

Just like Alexander, who was ignored by him in the past, when Alexander achieved enough success, Urnos, who was both a king and a father, did not hesitate to reward him, but was extremely generous and directly granted his son the power to command the army.

Although the original doubts have been resolved, new doubts have arisen.

How did Wuornos encounter Wayne? What kind of conversation and communication did they have? This is how the conflict broke out, and it was misunderstood by the outside world as an assassination.

Where is Wayne now? Did he really escape as the rumors say? How strong is this guy now? Has he become a legend? This speed of promotion is a bit outrageous.

At this moment, Noah was very anxious and wanted to see some melons. This was the plot he had been looking forward to for a long time, and finally he got what he had been waiting for.

But looking at his nephew's current expression, Noah didn't want to go too far.
