Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 256: Please let the Holy Dragon decide for us
"Suspected of having established an illicit lover relationship with the Elf Queen?"

Noah looked at the intelligence summary in front of him and cast a confused look at the dragon fairy in front of him.

"When did you start collecting this kind of pink gossip? Are you planning to gain experience from me, and then start some unscrupulous tabloids to make money after you retire?"

The unlimited prosperity of the city of Elisim will naturally give rise to some news media organizations that do not produce anything but seek to attract attention.

Under the long-term governance of the Holy Dragon, the literacy rate of the people in the territories under his rule has been increasing year by year. With the foundation in place, demands naturally arise, and commercial organizations that meet those demands also emerge.

In line with the trend of the times, Noah also ordered his fairies to establish several official newspapers to report accurate news that had been verified by multiple parties to the public.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Although this news seems very absurd, we have confirmed it many times before reporting it to you."

The dragon fairy who came to report lowered his head in fear and trepidation, and at the same time took out more detailed intelligence records from the space capsule on his waist.

"Miss Parvati and Her Majesty Queen Bridget have appeared together in public on many occasions, and their postures are extremely intimate. We can confirm that Miss Parvati has stayed in Her Majesty's bedroom many times and did not appear until the early morning."

"..."

Noah silently flipped through the information the fairies had collected, but the more he looked at the golden dragon, the more silent he became, until finally, the golden dragon let out a sigh.
"Hey! You should leave now!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The evidence was irrefutable. Even though Noah didn't want to see such a thing in his heart, he had to accept the fact that his great-niece had fallen. Of course, it was only the decline in her lifestyle and moral character.

In fact, Noah had heard some groundless rumors before, but until it was confirmed, Noah would not look at his niece's granddaughter strangely.

But now it is different. The fairies have collected footage of this niece going out and returning home together with the Elf Queen more than once. Her behavior has gone beyond the scope of subjects and monarchs, and cannot be explained by close friends.

Based on the information collected by the fairies, Noah can basically confirm that Parvati slept with the Elf Queen Bridget.

Yes, although both of them are females and it sounds a bit ridiculous, such things are not uncommon in the history of elves.

After all, they are an immortal species with a long history. It is not surprising that these guys cause trouble. There are quite a few corrupt royal families among the elves.

"Tsk, I wonder what Urnos would think after seeing this news?"

After a moment of emotion, Noah felt a little evil in his heart, but after just a little thought, the golden dragon found it boring.

After all, this guy doesn't care much about his many children. The only one in his eyes now is Wayne, who has awakened the Titan bloodline.

"Boring!"

From a political point of view, Parvati's decadent lifestyle is understandable. This natural demigod must have decided to sleep with the queen in order to concentrate power.

Having gained the support of the temple and successfully suppressed the aristocratic faction, as long as she can reach an agreement with the queen, she will be able to seize power and become the uncrowned king of the Elf Royal Court.

What Parvati gained was not only political power, but also a more powerful strength to rely on. However, due to her own bloodline that was blessed and purified by the Seven Gods, her current strength is still a long way from being a legend. In terms of the extraordinary realm, she is far inferior to her brothers and sisters.

Now, she lives and eats with the Elf Queen, and their food, clothing and other expenses are the same. The troubles caused by her slightly weaker strength are almost gone.

I have to say that taking down the Elf Queen was indeed a brilliant move. Apart from some negative impacts on reputation, everything else was perfect.

"He overthrew the king, suppressed the nobles, and manipulated the army. This is clearly a powerful official!"

As for Parvati, who has already ascended to the throne in the Elf Royal Court, Noah is still willing to stand on a neutral perspective and give her high praise.

As for his personal conduct, he could only blame the bad internal atmosphere of the elves, which led his niece astray. Apart from that, there was really nothing to complain about.

Apart from the Elf King's Court, whose internal power structure was almost reorganized, the second biggest change was in the Kingdom of the Dead. When the Undead Scourge spread, almost all the conquered lands were abandoned, and the main forces of the Undead Legion retreated into the ice field.

The kingdom of the dead is now in a retreat and isolation state, almost a world of its own. It is difficult for the outside world to know the changes within it, except for a certain dragon.

"I have roughly locked onto its phylactery. Once I find it and destroy it, the Council will no longer have the power to stop me."

Compared to Parvati who has successfully ascended to the throne, Wayne, who is in the kingdom of the dead, is still fighting with a great lich.

He has achieved a phased victory and killed the resurrected lich again. He is currently looking for the life box, preparing to destroy it for the third time.

As long as he could completely eliminate the lich's chance of resurrection, he would have achieved a decisive victory and truly controlled the kingdom of the dead.

Because apart from the faction controlled by the Lich, many other factions such as the vampires, the ghouls, the vengeful spirits, the mummies, the bone dragons, etc. have basically reached a unification and expressed their willingness to submit to the rule of the Demon King.

"So, are you the King of the Undead or the King of Vampires?"

Looking back at Wayne's history of rising to power in the kingdom of the dead, the biggest turning point was that he was noticed by a vampire prince, and after some thought, he finally chose to commit himself to this prince. With his unique personal charm, he gained the full support and guarantee of the vampire prince, successfully entered the Council of the Dead, and subsequently gained the support of all the vampires.

To some extent, Wayne's journey to power is even more miserable than that of his sister Parvati. He is simply a god of war with a lower body.

After all, Parvati's subjugation of the Elf Queen was not the key to her ascension to the throne. Before that, she had already achieved decisive results.

Taking down the queen would only make the last leg of her journey smoother and easier, reduce the internal strife among the elves, and gain more power.

“These two titles don’t conflict with me!”

Wayne replied calmly.

"You proposed to preserve the kingdom of the living earlier. Was it to repay the vampires for their support?"

"They are my foundation in the Undead Kingdom. I need to protect their interests."

Wayne did not deny this;
“That’s why they support me.”

Interests are the biggest shackles that maintain alliances, enough to transcend blood ties, family ties, and even race and country. The so-called not seeking returns is nothing but a foolish dream. Free is the most expensive thing.

"You can become the king of the undead, but I hope you can remember your identity as a human and never betray your race!" Noah warned solemnly.

When Wayne proposed the policy of the Kingdom of the Living, it was the time when the Undead Scourge was at its most rampant, and this move preserved, saved and preserved the lives of countless creatures. Regardless of the original intention to obtain the knowledge of the vampires or to save more lives, the Golden Dragon only looked at the final result.

"Uncle, I think my requirement for my offspring's bloodline to be pure is enough to demonstrate my loyalty to the human race."

"Speaking of your children, how are they doing now?"

Noah asked.

To a certain extent, Wayne's arrangements for his offspring are exactly the same as those of his father.

They were raised separately by their mothers, and he, the father, disappeared from the children's childhood memories, as if he did not exist. The only thing he provided was the material conditions so that they did not have to worry about life.

Of course, there weren't many, because his children were too mediocre. If the purified human bloodline wanted to produce outstanding geniuses, a sufficiently large base was needed.

"Most of them have married and had children. I have grandchildren now."

When talking about his descendants, Wayne showed a smile that didn't look sincere, as if it was forced.

"You've become a grandfather, which is faster than your brother!"

Alexander's children were born a long time ago, but they are not yet adults, so naturally there is no question of them getting married and having children. Compared to Wayne, who let his offspring run wild, Alexander was very strict with his only child, bringing him with him to teach him every day.

"What's the use of being quick..."

Wayne shook his head, seeming to hesitate to speak.

He now regrets the decision he made because the performance of his descendants is so mediocre.

With the saturated supply of cultivation resources, the one with the highest achievement now is only a Brilliant Gold. Not to mention a Legend, there is no hope of even reaching the Ultimate.

It is hard not to make him have some different thoughts. Although he is still young and strong, such offspring really make him lose a lot of motivation to strive.

"Why? Just say it if you have something to say."

"nothing!"

Wayne finally chose to keep silent.

Knowing about Alexander's rise, he wanted to ask his great uncle for a place in the true blood inheritance, but when he thought of those useless descendants, they didn't even have the qualifications to come into contact with the true blood.

"What a coy guy."

Noah could also guess some of Wayne's thoughts. In some ways, this guy was really like his father and their style of doing things was even more similar.

After confirming that the kingdom of the dead would not cause any trouble for the time being, Noah ended this communication and continued his life of raising dragon cubs. However, his peaceful days did not last long before he was disturbed again.

Because an incident occurred in the city of Elisim, which was not big, but not small, and could even be called a laughing stock.

Tens of thousands of Augustus family members came from all over the Kingdom of Atlas, gathered in the city of Elishim, marched along the main road, and finally knelt outside the Mage City, asking the first matriarch of the Augustus family and the holy dragon who raised King Urnos to make decisions for them.

"How is this going?"

Seeing the real-time image projected on the light screen in front of him, Noah asked with interest.

Under the magnificent Mage City, one after another, members of the Augustus family, dressed in gorgeous robes and looking noble, or who had been pampered for a long time and had developed an aura of superiors that ordinary people did not possess, knelt there and shouted loudly. Some even cried loudly, regardless of their image.

"These people should all be members of the Augustus family, but most of them will be removed from the family soon because of a decree issued by King Urnos..."

Hearing Noah's question, the dragon fairy Sifrea, who was well prepared, explained to Noah.

This was an order Urnos issued as the head of the family after he discovered that the number of family members began to expand exponentially.

In order to establish his own foundation in the royal capital of Uther, Urnos ignored the family's losses and forcibly relocated his family, throwing all the base that Augustus had managed for more than half a century to Noah.

In order to stabilize the morale of his family, Urnos granted many conveniences and privileges to his family members as a monarch, which was the right that the royal family should have.

With these rights, the Augustus family began to grow rapidly after its initial decline, and the family's influence also grew rapidly. In the past few years, several people with the potential to break through and become legends have emerged.

However, as the power of the Augustus family expanded, so did the family's population.

A member of the Augustus family, even if he was a useless person who could not practice cultivation, could, by virtue of his royal status, sleep with hundreds of women and father hundreds of children, and all of this would be borne by the family, while he himself could do nothing but enjoy himself.

The offspring born of such a waste can undoubtedly be given the surname of the Augusto family and can also abuse their royal status.

Perhaps in the royal capital, such royal members are nothing, but once they enter the local areas, the small nobles dare not offend them and can only allow themselves to be bullied, not to mention ordinary people.

Such a guy is undoubtedly a great harm to the interests and reputation of the Augustus family.

So, Urnos issued an order that was only executed within the family.

Anyone who has not broken through to become a member of the Shining Gold before the age of thirty will no longer have the name of Augustus, otherwise it will be regarded as a blasphemy and provocation to the Augustus family.

This command is certainly not that simple, and there are more detailed instructions, but this is the core.

Therefore, as soon as this order was issued, the Augustus family became restless, because if it were really implemented in this way, then, out of the current Augustus family of nearly 300,000 members, there would be less than 200 people who would be able to keep their surname.

Without the protection of their surnames, some guys who were originally just relying on the power of others to bully others would be completely reduced to their original form, and their end would be so tragic that they themselves dare not even imagine it.

As a result, there was a farce in which tens of thousands of Augustus ran back to their ancestral land, crying to their ancestors and asking for justice.
