Chapter 84 Mage Tower

Chapter 84: Chapter 84 Mage Tower

"What’s the use of asking them? Don’t I already know them? At the same age, they couldn’t match your level. Little one, now that you’re an ancestor dragon, have you recalled some ancient memories?"

Selena watched the golden dragon with a smiling face, while the golden dragon looked bewildered. Noah, of course, knew he was walking a path destined for ancient glory.

But this foster mother seemed to know way too much, even more than many true dragon species with inheritance might know about the path of ancestor return.

Because it was simply too ancient, the bloodline inheritance of the dragon clan couldn’t pass down everything. In each generational transfer, some information is inevitably lost or obliterated by time because it’s unused, and over generations, the lost inheritance is actually quite immense.

The function of the immortal dragon gods and undead dragon kings lies precisely in this. Their existence maintains the dragon clan’s inheritance seamlessly, ensuring that no matter how many generations pass, the inheritance remains as complete as the current age requires.

Dragon clans without the protection of dragon gods or dragon kings are destined to decline with time.

"I’ve recalled some inheritance, but it’s of no use."

Noah answered truthfully. Indeed, he’d gained many talent magics, but those paled in comparison to the word spirit, especially word spirit: Candle Sun, having little practical use.

"So you really have returned to the ancestral line!"

Selena’s eyes were filled with astonishment,

"I sensed something was off with you, little one. I didn’t expect you to be an ancestor return. If Angelis and Orsya knew, they would be overjoyed."

"They haven’t returned to the ancestral line?"

Noah hadn’t expected his foster mother to tease him, but he didn’t mind such trivial things and instead asked knowingly.

Without the Blood Origin Fruit, Noah wouldn’t even know how to walk this path, completely groping in the dark since the golden dragon lineage was already quite strong.

"Although they’re excellent among dragon species, they don’t have talents like yours."

Selena’s tone carried a hint of emotion.

The golden dragon couple she knew were indeed considered geniuses among the golden dragon clan. They had a chance to become legendary before turning into elder dragons, but there’s a difference even among geniuses, and she knew that all too well.

"Oh."

Currently, Noah didn’t have much nostalgia for his parents. After all, when they left, they didn’t even leave him a single copper coin.

Now that he had become a juvenile dragon, by the standards of the colorful dragon clan, he could leave the Dragon Nest and survive independently in the wild.

Even colorful dragons with the concept of raising young would expel their offspring of this age from the Dragon Nest.

However, by the standards of the metal dragons, dragons of this age shouldn’t leave the nest; at the very least, they should become young dragons before being allowed outside. Overly doting metal dragons would even care for their offspring until they became young dragons before letting them go.

Noah did not overly estimate himself. Not comparing with other dragon branches, just comparing with his own golden dragon kind, he thought taking down a young dragon shouldn’t be a problem.

Not to mention anything else, just word spirit Candle Sun could leave a young dragon in a troublesome situation; even the golden dragon’s high fire resistance wouldn’t save it, and element resistance only goes so high.

Of course, even at this point, Noah wasn’t particularly drawn to the outside world. Curious, yes, but when given the choice between going out to adventure and staying put in the Dragon Nest, Noah would choose the latter without hesitation.

After all, he was still just a tender juvenile dragon, and the outside world was too dangerous for him.

"Little Noah, since you aren’t clear about the specific changes in yourself, let your aunt check your body thoroughly."

Now confirmed as an ancestor dragon, mage Selena’s interest seemed to intensify, and her already restless hands became even more audacious.

"Hold on a minute!"

Noah felt a bit panicky. Although he dared face a young dragon, he knew what the result would be against an extreme intent mage primed to become legendary.

"Haha, little Noah, resistance is futile. You can’t resist me."

Seeing the golden dragon’s reaction, the Duchess couldn’t help but laugh audaciously, but then her actions softened considerably,

"I’m not teasing you anymore. Your mother had me check long ago, you’ve only shown signs of ancestral return so far, but I might be interested once you become a true ancestor dragon."

"..."

Noah looked at his ill-tempered foster mother without a word, but his heart was somewhat curious.

Exactly how familiar was human Selena with his parents, allowing her to check and know about ancestor dragon-related concepts?

"Alright, we should talk about business now; this is something that requires your opinion."

The youthful-looking Selena’s expression turned serious, and Noah also adopted a more solemn demeanor.

"What matter?"

"I plan to build a mage tower!"

"Hmm?!"

"Regarding the location for the mage tower, I intend to build it on your Dragon Nest."

Upon hearing this, Noah remained silent again. He knew very well the significance of a mage tower to a mage.

The superiority of spellcasters stemmed largely from this. A mage who possesses a mage tower indisputably holds a superior status among spellcasters of the same realm, capable of looking down even further at other extraordinary professionals.

The relationship between a mage and a mage tower is as close as that with a magic pet. Through arcane geometry, a mage or the creator of a mage tower can establish a connection with the tower, allowing magic power to flow between them and collect surrounding magic power onto the mage tower.

In many ways, mage towers are less like residences and more like devices for gathering and directing magic energy.

In essence, a mage tower is like a building-level magical item. Its design and structure aim to gather magic power.

The tower’s tall, upright shape fulfills this purpose. That’s why mages prefer to construct towering mage towers.

Of course, one aspect is also economical; the cost of such an enchanted building is tremendously high. This is why most mages only build a single tower instead of an entire castle.

Even so, the expenditure on building a mage tower can hardly be overstated, but certainly, the functions it serves once completed are proportional to its cost.

The Royal Family relies on a legendary mage who possesses a high-spec mage tower, thereby holding the highest authority in the United Kingdom.

"The Augustus family is that wealthy now?"

This was Noah’s first reaction upon learning his foster mother planned to build a mage tower.
