Chapter 118: Chapter 107 Dragon Father and Dragon Mother Descend

When the legendary Duke of the Augustus family showed signs of rising, the construction of Elisium City began. After the Duke’s promotion, accompanied by the growth of his legendary power and prestige, the city expanded and developed, becoming increasingly prosperous.

For twenty years, the prosperity of this city has only grown, showing no sign of decline, and its peak of prosperity seems to be catching up with the Kingdom Capital.

Today, it is even more flourishing.

Noah coiled atop the towering lookout tower, overlooking the city stretching endlessly below. The white bricks, faintly showing elemental runes, made the scales on the Golden Dragon’s body even more dazzling.

"Looks like everyone is accustomed to it!"

After casting an invisibility technique on his dragon body, Noah murmured to himself. He flew all the way from the primal forest and landed on the partly completed Mage City. What he saw, heard, and felt was no different from usual; the only impression was that the city had become even noisier.

Although he vaguely learned from his foster mother that his foster father might have encountered some issues, which were not ordinary problems, it seemed that apart from his foster mother and his own vague suspicions, no one else was aware.

The news had not leaked out, and the outside world was unaware. The city of Elisium below was still bustling and thriving, maintaining the status quo. The foster father’s absence for a short time did not cause any changes.

Because this legend, since his promotion, liked to venture out frequently and was not present in the territory most of the time, his short disappearance this time was considered normal, and no one found it suspicious.

The dignity of the legend still shrouded this land, suppressing the shadows and sinister forces lurking beneath the sun, preventing them from acting recklessly.

However, in the prolonged absence of Casius, there could not be too much reliance on his residual power. Sooner or later, someone would notice the problem and start probing.

The interests gathered here are simply too numerous and tempting. When there is insufficient strength to protect them, lurking predators will find the weaknesses, open their jaws wide, reveal their fangs, and pounce to tear and bite the flesh, satisfying their insatiable greed.

The worst-case scenario must be prepared for—specifically, the foster father’s inability to return, leading to the loss of legendary suppression by the Augustus family.

This is the worst situation, and Noah does not want to see it because even he might suffer unpredictable harm during the upheaval.

Although many strong individuals and forces are unwilling to provoke the Metallic Dragon Race, the Metallic Dragon Race has not reached the point where everyone is afraid. There are still marauders daring to wield weapons against them and initiate dragon-slaying campaigns.

Such people are not few in number, and as long as the opportunity is right, many Transcendents dare to plot against Metal Dragons for plunder.

The collapse of the Duke Territory would undoubtedly be such an opportunity. In the ensuing chaos, even if actions were taken against the Golden Dragon, due to the substantial remaining traces, it would be difficult to trace the true culprit.

The foster mother has already begun preparations, but only Noah, who received the warning, slightly noticed. Inviting his biological parents and reuniting the Golden Dragon family was just one part of it.

Noah, upon arriving at the Mage City, could perceive that the basic structure was completed, and some magical facilities were already operational. The remaining unfinished part was accelerating its construction, with thousands of magic statues tirelessly working day and night.

It wasn’t only these tireless magic statues; even the significantly expanded magic statue production lines were continuously operational. The Great Fairies maintaining the production were deeply aware of this.

But this commotion was a bit much because once the construction speed of Mage City increased, many aspects became involved.

In the short term, it wasn’t a problem, but over time, along with the foster father’s prolonged absence, suspicion would undoubtedly arise. But this was unavoidable.

As long as time is managed well, and the main construction of the Mage City can be completed, Noah, as one of the designers, estimated that even in the most critical moment, even if the day of the city’s collapse came and Mage City couldn’t protect the entire Augustus territory, it could still protect the Elisium City below.

This is currently the best option. Losing the legend, there’s no hope of preserving all interests; holding onto the core is already a great fortune.

"Summon the Legendary Golden Dragon to descend?"

Invariably, Noah thought of himself, pondering if he could find a path to resolve this crisis. Naturally, his thoughts wandered to the Legendary Golden Dragon, the grandfather and grandmother he had never seen, and even higher ancestors of the Dragon Clan.

However, as soon as this naive idea emerged, Noah suppressed it because it was simply unrealistic. With the fortune accumulated by the Augustus family today, they could certainly afford to summon an Ancient Golden Dragon once.

But that would only cover the cost of the Ancient Golden Dragon taking action once. Wanting a legendary dragon species to suppress the family for an extended period is impossible.

Inevitably, the financial resources of the mere Duke Territory could not maintain such a balance. Over time, even giving the entire territory to the Ancient Golden Dragon wouldn’t be enough.

"Alas!"

Noah sighed, unable to think of a way to compensate for the loss of legendary combat power.

In truth, the Metallic Dragon Race is not entirely money-driven. Not to mention that the Bronze Dragon pursuing justice can join a war against evil without asking for any reward.
