Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 178 - 137: Casius Returns

"Forget it!"

After careful consideration, and consulting a large amount of information related to the Dark Territory, Noah chose to prioritize stability and give up the option of taking action personally.

Although this was an opportunity to demonstrate his responsibility as the President of the Gemology Society, there were too many uncertainties, and the location was terrible.

The Dark Territory contains quite a few underground cavities large enough for Giants to move around and even for a Giant Dragon to soar, but more areas are narrow and cramped tunnels and caves where only humanoid creatures can move about.

A Dragon Species entering such an area means giving up the largest racial advantage. A Giant Dragon on the ground, unable to fly, is merely an enhanced version of the Earth Dragon, with a greatly increased probability of falling.

Many times, when a Dragon Species encounters a Dragon Slayer Team, they can basically do nothing to the dragon if the dragon can detect them in time and fly into the sky, whereas the Giant Dragon can use its aerial advantage to reverse and slay the Dragon Slayer Team.

Noah, although very confident in his power now, even if he has just ascended, finds it difficult to encounter opponents in the Ultimate Intent Realm, but dealing with a Legend would be another matter.

The Dark Territory is an extremely dangerous area, where there are no commoners, and everyone is extraordinary because the survival space underground is limited, the folk customs are simple, and weak creatures are deprived of life the moment they are born. The ones who survive each have their unique characteristics.

Thus, the Golden Dragon, after weighing the benefits and drawbacks, made the most prudent decision,

"Foster Mother!"

"What is it?"

"You should know, there are a few members of my academy who went missing in the Dark Territory."

"So?"

"Could you please trouble yourself to help me find them, confirm their location, and if possible, could you go fetch them back for me?"

Noah nervously made his request to the Legendary Mage Selena. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"?"

Selena, who was indifferent and casually dealing with things, stopped what she was doing, turned around, and looked up and down at this impeccable and majestic Golden Dragon, and couldn’t help but sigh,

"You’re really beyond my expectations!"

"Uh!?"

Noah was somewhat unclear about the meaning.

"I thought after you woke up from slumber, you would eagerly show your power to your kin, but instead, you first spent money to ransom your Vice President.

Now you’ve come to me again to rescue your comrades trapped in the Dark Hell; don’t you have any plans to take action personally?"

Selena looked at her foster son, a bit puzzled,

"I know you have been cautious since you were a child, but are you being overly cautious now without realizing the position of power you hold in this world? What are you worried about?"

"Wait a moment, I paid the ransom for the dragon because I wasn’t sure of the location of the plotting devil. If given a specific location, I would let him know what Ancestor Dragon’s wrath means!"

Saying this, Noah’s dragon eyes also grew profound, with purple energy surging. Being blackmailed by a devil is intolerable for ordinary Dragons, and Noah certainly disliked it too; he merely cared more for his kin and was more open-minded and understanding than typical Giant Dragons.

Even though the ransom wasn’t considered significant for Noah, he kept it in mind. If there’s an opportunity, Noah wouldn’t mind making that devil taste the extreme punishment of Heaven.

"What about now? Why don’t you personally take your kin and delve into the underground to retrieve those missing members?"

"Because I think it’s foolish for the Dragon Clan to enter the Dark Territory, where they cannot utilize their true form and lose their greatest advantage. It would be simpler and safer to directly ask you to solve the problem."

Noah sincerely explained.

"A reasonable explanation, but for your current power, it makes you seem too..."

Holding her forehead with one hand, Selena didn’t want to continue speaking, as she couldn’t find a neutral term to describe her foster son at this moment.

"In no more than a few hundred years, I will be invincible in the world, so why should I risk going to such a wretched place as the Dark Territory?"

Noah arrogantly retorted, not feeling that his behavior was a sign of cowardice at all; he only regarded himself as rational and steady.

Having a temporary reputation is good, but there’s no need to risk life for it. Even though he spent money to ransom a dragon back, so what?

Which member of the Gemology Society doesn’t regard him, the President, with admiration? He’s a President willing to spend money. Even Golden Dragon Agnes feels no confidence in facing him, works tirelessly in daily tasks to repay him due to guilt.

"Lucky for you that you’re a Dragon Clan; if you were a short-lived species, you wouldn’t step into the extraordinary for your entire life. Even if you could practice, you would achieve little."

"Precisely because I’m of the Dragon Clan, I should possess this kind of personality. I live for several thousand years, and I’m not even half a century away from celebrating my hundredth birthday. Why risk it now? It’s irresponsible to my remaining life."

Confronted with his foster mother’s sentiment, Noah felt no shame at all.

The Dragon Clan doesn’t care much about character and temperament; even if insane, one can become strong as long as they stay alive. Therefore, ensuring life safety is the priority; everything else is ephemeral.

The world mocks, laughs, and belittles me, but so what? In a thousand years, all that mocking crowd will be nothing but dust, while I will stand atop the world, overlooking the multitude of races.
