Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 151 - 123: Gwen’s Arrangements, Lord of Starlight_2
Chapter 151: Chapter 123: Gwen’s Arrangements, Lord of Starlight_2
Seeing that Noah still wasn’t satisfied, Tidel couldn’t help but remark,
"At your current realm, you can already deal a fatal blow to the Extreme Intent Giant Beast, and you’re still not satisfied?"
"These low-grade mixed-blood species don’t have much brain. Any Extreme Intent with enough intelligence would have run far during my preparation stage, making it impossible to hit."
Noah didn’t find it a big deal, as he had only managed to land this blow by using the growth-type magic weapon, the Sun God Wheel, combined with his strongest Word Spirit.
"Being able to deal a fatal blow to a creature a whole Great Realm above you is enough in itself. Don’t be too greedy, Noah."
"Hmm."
Noah responded nonchalantly, contemplating whether the attack from the Word Spirit Candle Day could be improved, like enabling autonomous target tracking or trajectory bending.
In fact, every Word Spirit is malleable, and currently, Candle Day has the highest degree of malleability.
"Feeling better now?"
"I’ve always been in a good mood, never really felt bad."
"Really? But I thought you seemed quite distressed just now."
"No, it’s just a moment of introspection."
"Introspection about what?"
Tidel asked casually.
"Gwen has grown up!"
"Hmm?!!"
The young man, who was quite carefree until then, froze for a moment, then slowly looked towards the Golden Dragon lying lazily on the ground, regaining its strength. His gaze gradually changed,
"How did you come to that conclusion?"
"She wants to see me transform into a human."
Noah exhaled slowly, not at all fazed by any subtle changes in the young man.
"Did you transform?"
"A little bit."
"Into a human?"
"Yes."
"You really pamper her, speaking of which, I’ve never seen you transform into a human. Can I see it?"
"Go away and cool off."
Noah didn’t bother to humor Tidel.
"So, what was Gwen’s attitude after seeing you transform into a human?"
Tidel asked, feigning nonchalance.
"It’s hard to say."
"Is it hard to say or you can’t say?"
"A female’s mind is the hardest to guess; how would I know what Little Gwen is thinking?"
The Golden Dragon was too lazy to move even its tail,
"But the human boy I transformed into probably disappointed her a bit. I ended up smaller than her, hahaha!"
"No way, I’ve heard from Ure that your Dragon-man form is as big as a Giant."
Tidel stroked his chin,
"So, you did it on purpose?"
"On purpose for what? How could that be?"
Noah immediately refuted,
"You know, that was the half-dragon form, this time I transformed into the purest human form, and naturally, my age corresponded to my age in the Dragon Clan, which is something I can’t change."
"Yeah, that can’t be helped."
The young man nodded and then changed the subject,
"Gwen seems to be on the verge of breaking through to become a Golden Mage, right?"
"Nearly there, in another year or two at most."
"My mother said that after Gwen ascends, she’ll send her to the Starlight Tower, what do you think?"
"Sounds good."
"I think so too."
The time for farewells always comes swiftly; in the blink of an eye, it was time to part. The flying ship from the Starlight Tower landed in Elisium City, drawing curious but unawed attention from many citizens.
Floating ships, though rare in this city, were not astonishing, as they were occasionally seen.
"Dragon Dad, I’ll definitely come back to visit you often."
"Focus on your studies. For a mage, knowledge is power. With enough power, no one can stop you from doing what you want, and no one can tell you how often you can come back."
"Okay!"
The increasingly beautiful girl nodded solemnly.
"Go on then, don’t waste any more time."
"I’ll miss you, and you should miss me too!"
"Alright."
The Golden Dragon, seeing the girl so reluctant to leave, naturally wanted to give her the final warmth and comfort.
"Gwen, remember your goals. Don’t forget your life pursuits!" frёewebηovel.cѳm
As the girl was about to board the floating ship, Selena appeared and instructed her granddaughter.
"I won’t forget. I will definitely achieve it."
The girl looked back towards the sky, shouting with all her might.
"I look forward to it."
As the floating ship ascended high into the sky and sailed away, Noah approached his foster mother with curiosity,
"What is Gwen’s life goal? How come I have no idea about it?"
"I just set that goal for her not long ago, so you wouldn’t know."
"Can you tell me?"
"Of course, why keep it a secret? I only asked Little Gwen to do her utmost to aim to become the next Tower Master of the Starlight Tower."
"Lord of Starlight?"
Even Noah was taken aback for a moment.
He had previously clashed with a mage from the Starlight Tower, exhausting them greatly. After that encounter, Noah had investigated what kind of organization the Starlight Tower was.
The Starlight Tower is one of the three most famous Mage Holy Lands on the Xilantia Continent. It is not on the continent, but within the radiance of the stars, described as such.
Currently, no one knows its exact location, unless guided by someone from Starlight Tower, one can’t enter without an invitation.
This is a Mage Holy Land shrouded in mystery. There are at least five confirmed Legendary Mages residing there, along with some who never show themselves, living legends with uncertain status, as well as those confirmed missing. The number of legendary spellcasters at this Holy Land can reach an astounding double-digit figure.
In front of such a Mage Holy Land, even the Aristoria United Kingdom is insignificant. If the Royal Family dared to declare war on the Starlight Tower, the kingdom would dissolve the next day, falling apart immediately, with no one standing with the Royal Family.
This is the Tower Sanctuary, its influence extends beyond this world, reaching into other Material Planes.
With such a powerful force, his foster mother planned to have Gwen aim to become the Tower Master. Her confidence in her granddaughter was truly overwhelming.
"What’s there to be surprised about? If I hadn’t followed Casius back then, I might have been competing for Tower Master myself by now, perhaps already the Tower Master.
Little Gwen has inherited my talent, so why shouldn’t she aim to be the Lord of Starlight?"
Selena was dissatisfied with Noah’s display of surprise.
"Is simply advancing to Legendary enough? Is becoming Tower Master that easy?"
"Legendary is just one of the minimum requirements to compete for Tower Master. Whether one can become Tower Master depends on if they can overpower other legendaries, otherwise why would anyone listen to them?"
"Isn’t there a possibility, like, for most legendary mages pursuing the truth, leaving no desire for power struggles, allowing a mage with ambitions for the Tower Master position to ascend?"
Noah proposed a possibility.
"There would have to be only one mage left in the tower for that possibility to happen."
Selena said decisively, then looked at the Golden Dragon with a mocking face,
"Little Noah, what gave you the illusion that mages are people without a desire for power? Have you ever seen a mage who desires nothing?
The only ones who desire peace and not external possessions are monks and ascetics. If a spellcaster practices asceticism, it’s because of poverty and incompetence, no other reason."
"Um..."
Noah had to admit that his foster mother was very right.
"If you see a mage disinterested in power, it only means this power is too insignificant, offering no benefit to them.
The power and resources that the Tower Master of Starlight holds are something that no legendary mage can refuse. Everyone competes for it."
