Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 227 I have come this far thanks to my own efforts
"Why do you have the breath of hell and devil here?"

Without answering Noah's question, Ophelia sniffed, frowned, and showed disgust in her eyes without disguising it.

"There's something wrong with your perception."

Noah made a direct judgment, and then asked a question.

"Why do you think there is room for the devil here?"

"But I clearly felt the breath from hell."

The angel looked towards where Wayne had stood before.
"And he stayed here for quite a while."

"That's a tiefling."

Noah didn't even bother to raise his head, his tone was very sure,
"Your head is damaged by the blow. Do you want me to check it for you?"

"No, there is nothing wrong with my perception. This is the breath of a high-level lord of hell."

Ophelia frowned, but soon strengthened her belief that her judgment was correct.

"Did you come here just to pick a fight with me?"

The golden dragon raised its head, and its bright eyes stared at the angel who seemed to have not changed at all, just like decades ago.

This is the immortal species, which is enough to allow mortals to experience a lifetime from birth to death. For the immortal species, no changes will occur, and time seems to stand still for them.

"I am here to track down a powerful undead."

Noticing the change in the golden dragon's demeanor, Ophelia explained. It was indeed absurd for her to question the collusion between an ancestral golden dragon and a high-ranking lord of hell.
"Oh, then go and track it down."

"I need your assistance."

"I refuse to assist you."

Jin Long thought about it.

"why?"

Ophelia had a confused look in her eyes.

"Because you are tracking down a very powerful undead being, and I am too weak. This is beyond my ability."

Noah knew with his tail who the angel in front of him wanted to track down. It seemed that the movement just now was not limited to his world, but even the heaven had detected it.

"Weak?"

Ophelia looked at the giant golden dragon in front of her, which was nearly 70 meters in size, incomprehensible. Even if she revealed her true form, the dragon in front of her was still extremely oppressive to her.
He lay there like an eternal and immortal sacred mountain. Yet, such a fellow actually claimed that he was weak.

"Yes, I am not even a legend now. According to my age, I am not an ancient dragon either."

Noah said confidently that although he now possessed legendary combat power and most ancient dragons could not compare to him in terms of size, according to the existing extraordinary system, he had not yet reached the legendary realm.

Combat power and realm are two different things

"Do you know why I want to track down that undead?"

“I don’t really want to know.”

Noah said sincerely.

The angel in front of him had indeed helped him, and logically speaking, he should have responded when the other party came to him for help.

But that had to be within his capabilities. When the situation was unclear, asking him to do the damage? How could that be possible? Noah would never do such a thing.

"That undead stole the remains of one of my comrades, desecrated her soul, and transformed her into a fallen angel of death. This is absolutely intolerable."

Ignoring the golden dragon, Ophelia continued to speak to herself, explaining the reason for her arrival.

"This is indeed intolerable, but it seems to be beyond your ability. Even if you find it, what can you do?"

Noah didn't look down on the angel in front of him. It was just that decades had passed, and apart from her appearance, her strength had also remained unchanged. It could be said that it had increased, but the change was very slight and could not be compared with his.

"I am only responsible for the investigation. If it can be confirmed, my father will come."

Ophelia replied.

"Your father? The Seraph is coming?"

Noah's expression became much more serious.

If a being of this level came across the border, the impact would be enormous.

"The soul of the archangel must not be desecrated."

"If it's just to explore the situation rather than to confront, I can help you."

Seeing Ophelia's expression, Noah knew that she was not joking.

"I know that the Golden Dragon will never let you down."

Hearing the golden dragon's promise, a smile immediately appeared on the angel's face, and Noah's bedroom seemed to become more brilliant and bright at this moment.

"Just wait for news from me here."

Noah already had an idea of ​​the perfect person to find out the information.

"Aren't you coming with me?"

"What with you?"

Jin Long just felt confused.

"Didn't you say you wanted to go with me to find out the news?"

"When did I say I would go with you? I only promised to help you."

"What do you mean?"

"Have you forgotten my current identity? I am the lord! The Dragon Lord!
I have money and power, but why should I personally go into battle in such a risky situation? I have my own army, my family, and my followers, and they are all willing to serve me. "

Noah reminded the angel in front of him to pay attention to his identity, as he was no longer the dragon he once was.

"Then I am also the commander of the Dawn Sword!"

"Then why don't you call all your subordinates over here? How can a dignified legion commander come down here in person to gather intelligence? Don't you have anyone else in the heavens?"

"This is a very dangerous mission. I have the protection of the amulet given by my father, but they have no power to protect them."

"You still know the danger. You have the protection of the amulet given by your father. My father is just an ordinary golden dragon. It is not certain who will protect whom. Why do you want to drag me into this?"

After hearing the angel's words, Noah found it outrageous. Could it be that his golden dragon's life was not a life?
"You are an ancestral dragon, don't you have the protection of the Dragon God?"

Ophelia looked at Noah in surprise.

"The protection of the Dragon God? Which Dragon God? Can you send me a copy?"

Noah was also puzzled. It turned out that this archangel had a backer. Putting himself in his shoes, he felt that he also had a backer to rely on.

"Ah, no?"

The angel looked even more confused.

"of course not."

Noah said firmly.

"Then how did you evolve into an ancestral dragon? Without the protection and blessing of the Dragon God, how could an ordinary dragon achieve the final return to its ancestral form?"

Ophelia asked in confusion.

"Of course it's through my own struggle and hard work. I have come this far entirely by myself, without any blessing from any dragon god."

After Noah finished speaking, the hall fell into silence because the angel had fallen silent.

Because she just felt that the dragon in front of her was insulting and trampling on her intelligence.

If struggle and hard work are useful, then what is the point of bloodline? What is the point of talent? Some achievements cannot be achieved through hard work and talent. "You don't believe it?"

Seeing that the angel did not respond for a long time, Noah became annoyed and took the initiative to break the silence.

"Yes."

Ophelia nodded heavily. She stared at the shameless golden dragon in front of her and said sincerely,

"I've never seen you try hard."

"That's just because you haven't seen it. Just because you haven't seen it, does that mean it hasn't happened?"

Noah flicked his dragon tail, and the powerful tail produced a thunderous explosion in the air.

"Look at this palace. Apart from the main structure, all other details were perfected by me. Even the dragon-shaped golem outside was made by me with great care."

"This is enough to prove that you have a very high talent in certain aspects, but it is not enough to awaken your ancestral bloodline. At least there is a being of the same level as the Dragon God who blesses you."

The angel said with certainty, because this was consistent with her understanding.

Ordinary dragons can, through their own hard work, develop atavistic traits, but if they want to completely revert to their ancestral form and become the legendary ancestral dragon, they must have the gift of a higher level of existence.

Without the interference of those eternal and immortal beings, super-rule creatures like the ancestral dragon would not be able to be born.

The same is true for the legendary Titans. Every Titan is blessed by his ancestors at birth. If all the epic Titans are destroyed, then the Titan race will naturally gradually die out, just like the ancestral dragons that are about to disappear.

"But there is really no Dragon God who favors me!"

Noah sighed, in fact he felt a little depressed. Logically speaking, at his level, even if he didn't worship, there should be a dragon god to seduce him, but there just wasn't one.

"If there is no Dragon God, then it must be the Dragon King."

Ophelia was thoughtful.

"The Dragon King also..."

Noah was about to deny it, but then he thought of the dragon king that was coiled above the stars. His voice froze, and he could not say these words anymore, because the dragon king had shown him the immortal body that he had created.

"I understand."

From Noah's reaction, the angel realized that he had seen the truth.

The golden dragon in front of her was able to achieve such an achievement because of the favor of a Dragon King. Although she didn't understand what was so special about this golden dragon that was worth the Dragon King's expense to cultivate it, since the Dragon King had chosen it, she had no right to comment.

"You guessed it right."

Noah was too lazy to argue because it would distort the angel's cognition and expose his true secrets, which was really unnecessary.

"Since the Dragon God has blessed you, he should also give you protection, right?"

"No."

"Perhaps you don't know?"

"Maybe, but I wouldn't try."

Noah knew better than anyone whether he had the protection of the Dragon King. Although the Dragon King was quite generous, it was quite good that he was willing to show it to him in what was almost an illusion or a dream. Noah did not expect too much.
"If you want information, I can arrange for someone to investigate, but I won't go there myself."

Noah once again stated, completely putting an end to the archangel's delusion.

"Okay, then I..."

"If you want news, you can wait here for a while. It won't be too long."

"I can't go either?"

"Yes, you have a bad temper. If you go, it will only cause trouble."

Noah thought he had some understanding of this angel's character. He would draw his sword and start killing people if they disagreed with him. He was a true fighting angel.

To be honest, Noah suspected that the other party's father, the Seraph, wanted to accumulate experience for his daughter, so he gave this exploration mission to Ophelia who was obviously unsuitable.

"You underestimate me?"

"This is a fair assessment, you have to learn to accept it."

Noah said in a calm and soothing tone.

"Who are you going to send to investigate?"

"He is a very good tiefling. I think compared to you, he is more likely to get the information you want since he is contaminated by the aura of hell."

"Can I meet him?"

Ophelia's mind was moved and she blurted out.

"No."

Noah refused outright.

Noah's favorite candidate is of course Wayne. This son of hell who has traveled far and wide and has rich experience can be said to be the best candidate for reconnaissance.

This kid can also move freely in the shadow world, which makes him even more suitable for this task. Moreover, he has a lot of backup plans. Noah believes that even if he really encounters that undead, it will not be a problem for him to escape unscathed.

"Tracking a fallen seraph?"

Wayne, who had just settled his subordinates, felt a little numb after seeing the first order Noah gave him.

"Can I refuse?"

"His Highness Noah said that as long as you can complete the mission, you can be guaranteed to have a human offspring with pure bloodline that is not polluted by hell."

Faced with the temptation thrown by Noah, even though he knew that this technology was still in the experimental stage, Wayne did not think about it for long before taking on this dangerous task.

Wayne, who reorganized the Knights Templar, was naturally not alone. He led his troops all the way north to the northern ice field.

Three months later, Noah, who was comforting the angel, received news from the north. Ophelia, who was beginning to become restless, immediately looked at the silent golden dragon.

"What happened? Your tieflings, did they fail in their exploration?"

"No, it's not. They are too successful."

Noah began to consider his tone and how to describe the situation.

"What do you mean?"

"They have successfully infiltrated the City of the Dead, and one of them has even successfully run for the position of City Lord."

"?"

Ophelia was silent for a moment, and then a sacred flame rose from her body.

"Are you sure they didn't betray you?"

"That's impossible. I have a temptation that they can't resist. It's just the position of a lord of a dead city. It's impossible for him to betray me."

Noah was quite confident on this point. Living beings would never be able to adapt to the kingdom of the dead. However, it was precisely for this reason that Noah couldn't understand how Wayne became the lord of the Undead City.

The speed of this ascension is a bit too outrageous. Unless it is in the abyss of order collapse and chaos, it is possible, but these are undead, and the order of the undead is strict, more terrifying than the devil.

"You seem to have great confidence in him? You believe in his loyalty?"

"No, I believe in his desire for offspring."

"And what news did he bring you?"

"A distribution map of all the undead cities, and a rough deployment of military forces."

"What about the fallen angels?"

Ophelia asked hurriedly.

"The archangel you mentioned should be in the core cemetery. He is looking for an opportunity to meet the Immortal King."
