Chapter 270: Chapter 183 Who Says a Mortal Body Cannot Be Called King

"Dragon Dad, you seem very happy, but shouldn’t you feel angry?"

Gwen’s gaze turned towards Golden Dragon Noah. In her understanding, even a dragon like the Golden Dragon, known for its elegance, was not easy to get along with. Because regardless of all the adjectives, one must not ignore the term Dragon Clan.

So far, the mainstream understanding of the Dragon Clan by humanoid races is rather narrow compared to the Dragon Clan itself. Differentiating the Dragon Clan as justice, kind, evil, etc., using humanoid moral concepts is not accurate.

Even among the same Dragon Species, each dragon is different, with its own personality traits. Seeing a Golden Dragon and then assuming it’s just, kind, gentle, and friendly to humans is an extremely foolish perception.

"What’s there to be angry about?"

Noah replied dismissively.

"She didn’t consult with us beforehand and took it upon herself to push the family, including you, onto the gambling table, wagering against the Elf Court and the Elf God. Isn’t that enough?"

"Gwen, even though she’s also a Half-Elf, she is fundamentally different from your mother. Your mother is about to break through to become a Legend, while she, as a Half-Dragon Elf, grows very slowly.

Her strength is too weak. In the face of temptations from the Elf Court and All Gods, do you think she has much choice?

Her only option was her stance. She chose the Dragon Clan over the Elves, staying with us, and that’s enough!

A Half-Dragon not even possessing Extreme Intent, you cannot expect too much from her. Do you think she can resist the Elf Court and All Gods coveting Augustus? Even if she refuses, so what?

The Elves will continue to seek opportunities. The elf bloodline passed down in the Augustus family is not insignificant. Both Elizabeth’s mother and your grandmother are Silver Moon Elves.

With such connections, the Augustus family bloodline passed down through generations will inevitably have loopholes. Instead of letting the Elves plot in secret, it’s better to bring everything to light.

As the powers grow to a kingdom level, contacting forces like the Elf Court and generating competition and confrontation is inevitable. This is the nature of relations between great nations.

When individual strength reaches a certain level, contending with All Gods is unavoidable. The Gods pay attention to any mortal world entities that threaten them.

These are all issues that must be faced, which won’t change because of anyone’s appearance or choice."

Noah saw clearly that when the Augustus family rose and came into the sights of All Gods, the Elves were the first to attempt intervention, but they would not be the last.

In the struggle between great forces, a small role without enough power can only go with the flow and adapt to the situation. Being able to uphold their stance is enough, and Noah won’t be too demanding.

Moreover, this Half-Dragon he had raised for some time, even though she was already quite large when she came to him, already had her own worldview and philosophy on life.

Now, in the face of external strong forces’ pressure and temptation, being able to choose a firm stance and not betray, is already sufficient. As for the choices she made and the greed she showed, Noah only felt gratified,

For a dragon not to be greedy, would it still be a dragon? Although her greed and gambling nature were surprising even to him, it was for this reason that Noah felt gratified, worthy as a Silver Dragon’s offspring.

"That’s indeed the case."

Gwen nodded thoughtfully, then she smiled,

"Speaking of which, I also have quite a bit of elf bloodline. If my sister-in-law chooses to refuse, would the Elf Court come after me?"

"You? Unless the Elves’ heads are carved from wood, it’s impossible for them to come after you!"

Noah couldn’t help but laugh at Gwen’s words.

"Why? I also have elf blood, why can’t they offer me Divine Status and Divinity? I want it too!"

The girl pouted discontentedly.

Divine Status aside, without faith, holding one is useless, but Divinity is different. As long as you can merge it, breaking through to Legend is almost certain.

"Because you represent the interests of the Star Tower in the Augustus family."

"How could that be possible?"

The girl instinctively wanted to refute, but she quickly realized that from others’ perspectives, especially this time, it indeed seemed so.

Her father was crowned King, and she and her mentor came from the Tower, a necessary act for a biological daughter.

But when it comes to power and interests, with her dual identity as both a core member of the Star Tower and the Augustus family, even if she wanted to explain, it wouldn’t be possible.

Besides, doesn’t the Star Tower have any intentions of meddling in the affairs of a kingdom on the continent? Mages are not known for being anything but passionless, and every mage’s experiment costs money. Hence, the spellcaster community wouldn’t miss any opportunity to gain benefits.

"Have you figured it out?"

"The Tower hasn’t given me any tasks, nor asked me to do anything."

Gwen knew that explaining was meaningless, but she still wanted to say it because she didn’t want too many interests affecting her relationship with Noah.

"There’s no need to explain this to me. If you want to prove yourself, then fulfill your grandmother’s expectations, become the Tower Master, and represent the Tower yourself."
