Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 296: In the Name of the Father, the King is Conferred

"I knew it, it was you!"

The Holy Knight Rand looked at the young man not far away who he had known for nearly ten years and had become extremely familiar with. At the sudden arrival of the Holy Dragon, the young man turned into the Son of the Holy Dragon, whom he felt extremely unfamiliar with and whom he had only heard of by chance. He was shocked for a moment, then smiled with relief, a look of relief and joy on his face.

As a holy warrior, his perception and wisdom were not so stupid. At first, he hid his identity and sneaked into the black mine. When he met the young man by chance, he realized that the young man was of extraordinary origin.

After that, he led the boy for nine years and became even more convinced that the boy must have an extraordinary background, because Yili knew too much knowledge.

However, the knowledge he knew was too inconsistent with the weakness and powerlessness he showed. How could a person who possessed so much knowledge be a mortal?

It doesn't mean that mortals are necessarily stupid, and extraordinary people are necessarily smarter than mortals. The two are in different fields, and there is some knowledge that mortals cannot access and master.

The doubts in his heart continued to accumulate until a year ago, when Rand saw with his own eyes a group of warriors affiliated with the Holy Dragon that should not have appeared. They arrived and resolved the abyss disaster that was enough to threaten the lives of a group of holy warriors, including himself, with a devastating force.

In the end, he saw a scene that was enough to break the secular cognition and shatter the worldview of all extraordinary people. A group of warriors whose average strength was only at the gold level actually surrounded and killed a legend.

At that moment, the Holy Knight Rand began to doubt the identity of the student next to him. After all, he and his student were the only ones present in that battle. Rand was very sure that there was no problem with his identity and it was clean.

Since he was not the one with the problem, then the one with the problem must be his student. Especially when he saw his student had no reverence and ran to dig up the body of a legend, he was more certain that there was something wrong with Yili's identity.

However, the Holy Knight Rand is not a very curious person, because he knows very well that there are many secrets in this world that should not be touched casually when one does not have the strength.

Therefore, Rand did not ask his students, but pretended not to know, as always. However, the confused feeling did not disappear because of this, but only continued to accumulate until today, when all the doubts were revealed one year later.

Unexpectedly, reasonable

Although he knew that his student had an extraordinary origin, Rand, as a wandering paladin, was more shocked than surprised when he suddenly found out that he was the descendant of the holy dragon.

This was beyond the imagination of the paladin. Even though he had been mentally prepared, Rand still needed to calm down.

"Rebuilding order on this land? This is a very lofty ideal and ambition. However, this is a very difficult task. Can you tell me why?"

Noah looked down at his offspring who had regained his true form. His body was strong and muscular, and he was already twelve meters tall. The ten years of sealing had not hindered Eliad's natural growth.

As a father, Noah was not foolish enough to stop the growth of his offspring, so what Eliade felt now was a completely unfamiliar, yet extremely powerful body.

"The Principality of Gaoertai was destroyed because of my arrival. If it weren't for me, father, you wouldn't have sent out your warriors.

If Grand Duke Gao Ertai had not fallen, this land would not be in chaos now, and the people here would not have suffered such a bad fate. This is my responsibility. "

Iliad, with a look of compassion and self-blame on his face, stated his thoughts.

From the perspective of an ordinary person, he witnessed the fall of a country with his own eyes, even though the nobles of this country used the people as consumables to cultivate sacrificial demons in order to satisfy their own ugly desires.

But such a bad order is still order after all, and after the collapse of order, more terrible consequences will be revealed. In the chaos, the people who have no ability to protect themselves will also suffer a miserable ending.

Seeing those ordinary people struggling to survive, Elijah wanted to change, but with the strength of a mere mortal, he could do nothing.

He could only stay with his teacher in the town that was originally sacrificed to the abyss and almost reduced to ruins, and try to take in as many refugees and shelter as many people as possible within his ability.

But when his father returned all his power to him, and he also gained the power accumulated over the past ten years, Elijah's thoughts changed.

He could sweep away all the suffering and injustice he saw, and he could recreate the order he wanted out of chaos, just like his father had done.

“So you feel you have an obligation to save this land?”

Noah watched his offspring with interest, understanding Eliade's logic and ideas.

"Yes, I should save them. I am now able to save more people."

Elijah said this in a sonorous voice, and even under the golden sun, it was still difficult to conceal the power that was gradually erupting from his body.

Although he was still young and had not yet left the dragon clan's adolescence according to his age group, his bloodline was too extraordinary. What he had recovered now was not only his strength, but also his identity. His mother could now sense his presence.

"What an arrogant thought, but you are worthy of being my heir."

Noah commented on Eliade in this way, but then praised him:
"Since you have chosen to shoulder the fate of all the living beings on this land, then you must also obtain the corresponding rights for taking on such a heavy responsibility."

"Father, I don't need power."

Eliade hastened to say that his desire for power was not strong, for it came easily to him naturally.

“Without rights, how can you establish the order you want?”

Noah couldn't help but laugh at the innocence and naivety of his offspring. For the past ten years, he had been struggling at the bottom of society and had only witnessed the suffering of the lower class. It seemed that he had not yet witnessed the cruelty of the upper class of the political body.

"Establishing the desired order is something only a king can say."

"After establishing order, I can nominate a wise man to sit on the throne and let him govern the country. I don't need to become a monarch."

Eliade, who had a paladin as a teacher, was idealistic in some ways.

"What kind of person are you to designate another person as king? What is such a monarch in front of you? He is just a figurehead."

Without waiting for his offspring to answer, Noah continued to ask,
"Besides, how can you guarantee that others are wise? How can you guarantee that they will not be corrupted by power after they have great power?

Even if you can guarantee it, how can you prove that after such a monarch maintains his faith throughout his life, his descendants can still be wise and can still maintain the order you established?"

"This……"

Noah's series of questions immediately left Eliad speechless. This was an immortal who could look down on time and watch the changes in history. For Eliad, who was less than fifty years old, these questions were obviously beyond his scope, and he had no way to think of the answers.

"The answer is simple. You just need to take the throne yourself. If you are willing to shoulder the fate of all the people on this land, are you not willing to bear the weight of a crown?"

"I am willing."

Eliade agreed with his father's words that he could not guarantee that others would be wise, and he could not guarantee that the descendants of the people he chose would continue to be wise.

"In that case, I, in the name of Noah, appoint you as the ruler of this land. Wherever you look and wherever you step, it will become a land that you rule."

Noah raised his head, and his voice roared like thunder, spreading thousands of miles and directly imprinted on the minds of every intelligent creature.

Even the wild beasts roaming in the wilderness, even though they could not understand the meaning of this voice, were conquered by the majesty revealed in it, and they crawled on the ground, wailing incessantly.

"Who among you has any objection?"

Noah raised his head and looked around. Under his gaze, one hidden legend after another appeared at the end of the horizon. Noah had never concealed the traces of his arrival.

In fact, it was because of his arrival that the sky was filled with golden ripples like rippling water, spreading out in circles. Even though the sun was gradually setting, the sky was not dark at all.

"I have heard of the name of the Holy Dragon of Zealandia a long time ago. I am honored to finally see your face today.

If your descendants can rule, then the Gaoertai region will surely usher in peace and become the peaceful place that all the people of our country yearn for."

Under Noah's gaze, an elderly legend with a gloomy look soon stood up, started to flatter, and was the first to acknowledge Iliad's rule over the Gaultai region.

"This land really needs an excellent ruler. Your son is a very good candidate. I think no one is more suitable than him."

"Yes, someone needs to put an end to the chaos in this area. There are too many refugees here, and it has affected my country. The nobles have already complained to me. I believe that with your descendants governing us, these problems that have troubled us will soon disappear."

Under Noah's gaze, even if someone was dissatisfied, or did not get the benefits they wanted from the plunder, no legend dared to say no in the face of a giant dragon that was more than 110 meters long.

Because the legends present were all the lords of the neighboring countries around the former Principality of Gaoertai, and it was precisely because of the direct interests involved that they came to secretly spy on Noah.

If there is no conflict of interest, then go as far as you can. Curiosity is not a quality that a ruler who is content with stability and focuses on enjoyment should possess. This is not a fight for the right to develop relics. Who would come to tease the beard of a legendary dragon whose specific preferences are unknown?

"From today on, you are the ruler of this land. The fate of all the creatures on this land, now and in the future, is in your hands."

Noah did not respond to any of the legends' compliments and the implicit and almost explicit flattery, but lowered his head and looked at his offspring again.

It is undeniable that Eliade still has some naive ideas, but Noah is not prepared to convince him with words. Verbal preaching is the most useless, and only reality is the best teacher.

When Eliade realizes that certain ideas are impossible to implement, he will naturally make changes to get the best possible results.

"Father, I..."

Just now he was just an apprentice paladin who built a wall for orphans displaced by the war, but in the blink of an eye he became the ruler of the former Principality of Gaoltai. The changes in the world were so bizarre that it was really hard to keep up.

"This is the path you chose yourself, so you will have to walk the rest of the way alone. I will not provide you with any military assistance. I will only recognize your rule over this area."

Noah said bluntly that he would not send another warrior here because he had already given Eliade the greatest support.

With the identity of the Son of the Holy Dragon and the recognition of the surrounding countries, it would be a waste if he still couldn't accomplish anything with such legal rights.

Although it seemed against the law for a dragon lord to appoint his own offspring as the ruler of a country, Noah ignored this small problem because no one dared to find fault with him in this regard, at least the legends in front of him did not dare to do so.

“Is this also a test?”

Elijah reacted suddenly.

"Yes, this is also a training, but you are no longer a mortal, but as my heir. Let me see what you can do."

Noah's matter-of-fact tone stunned Elijah, because at this moment, he truly felt the arrogance his father had mentioned.

There are more than three million intelligent creatures on this land, but in his father's eyes, the survival of such a large number of creatures is just a test for him.

"I will restore the glory of Elisim here!"

Even though he felt pressure from his father, Elijah did not back down. Instead, he made bold statements.

"Then I will begin to look forward to your future achievements."

Noah looked up at the sky. There was a crimson holy light surging high in the sky, and a space-time gate from heaven was taking shape.

Therefore, after leaving the last words, Noah broke the space again and ran away before a crimson meteor fell.

boom--

The sacred white light surged and spread in the sky, gradually covering the golden ripples that had begun to fade. The sky was still bright, even more brilliant.

Seeing the six-winged archangel descending to the earth, many legends who were so frightened by the ancestral dragons that they dared not leave felt their scalps tingling when they saw the wings burning with crimson flames behind the archangel.

"Mother!"

When the legends heard the name called out by the rather majestic-looking hybrid, they felt a numb feeling spreading through their minds.

This is probably an ancestor who should not be provoked.
