Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 242: Advancement to Legend
"How many elemental essences have been consumed now?"

"It's almost 3,700 cubic meters, but it's still not enough. The inventory of elemental essence can't keep up with your majesty's consumption."

The dragon fairy who was in charge of transporting basic supplies to the bedroom made a bitter face as he reported to the serious-looking boss in front of him.

Ever since the Holy Dragon Noah, the bloodline lord of the dragon fairies, fell into sleep, the demand for elements has rapidly risen to an extremely outrageous level.

In order to supply the Holy Dragon's demand for elements and to maintain the elemental balance in the surrounding areas, the goblins transport large amounts of elemental essence day and night.

Although this type of elemental energy crystal is a universal basic substance, precisely because it is a basic resource, its consumption is also high. All parties have demand for it, and it is not easy to collect too much at one time.

"How much is left in stock?"

"There are less than 2,300 square meters left. At the current rate at which Your Majesty consumes elemental essence, it can only last for 20 days at most."

"Twenty days? So fast? That's not enough. Your Highness has only just turned one year old. There is no way he will wake up in twenty days. How much inventory does Mage City have?"

"What we are transporting now is the treasury of the Mage City. The elemental essences we have stored have long been used up."

“What about external acquisitions?”

"The acquisition speed is too slow, and some wizard organizations have noticed our needs and are working together to drive up the price. It is not cost-effective to purchase elemental essences now. I suggest finding alternatives and supplying them to Your Majesty."

"What would you like to use as a substitute?"

"gem!"

"approve."

In the fifteenth month of Noah's sleep, the fairies tried to use various extraordinary resources to meet Noah's needs for transformation.

But when Noah's needs began to grow exponentially, the goblins could no longer conceal the devouring power emanating from Noah's dragon body.

Starting from the palace built by Noah on the highest peak of the Eldis Mountains, the influx of elements gathered into a vortex. The airflow that was initially invisible to the naked eye of mortals soon emitted an especially bright elemental light due to the overly dense accumulation of elements.

An elemental vortex appeared above the Eldis Mountains. The moment this extraordinary phenomenon appeared, the elemental balance in the area was broken. The puzzle hidden in the sky was also pulled out.

The core of the maze, which is the Mage City of Elisim, suffered a severe impact at the same time. The elemental vortices lingering between the spires were torn into pieces one after another because they could not contend with the devouring power emitted by the golden dragon's body. They turned into visible elemental streams and merged into the elemental vortex spreading from the depths of the Eldis Mountains.

This is extremely unreasonable, a scene that can shock the three views of most spellcasters. Its level is above the Mage Tower. It is completely a Mage City with a complex of Mage Tower buildings. In the battle for elements, it has never competed with living creatures?
If this kind of thing were told to others, no one would believe it. Instead, they would be scolded by elders such as mentors. However, any spellcaster who knows the inside story would remain silent.

Holy Dragon Noah!

As a golden dragon, his existence itself breaks the common people's perception of dragons. Whether it is his form, size or cognitive concepts, he is contrary to common sense.

Of course, those who know the truth are always a minority, and those who are ignorant are the majority.

In the Adventurer's Tavern in the city of Elisim, some dreamers believed that the elemental vortex that emerged from the depths of the Eldis Mountains and impacted the Mage City might be a relic of ancient times that appeared in the mountains, or that it might be the result of the discovery of an artifact left behind by a fallen god.

However, more rational adventurers believed that the Holy Dragon had built a magical wonder building on its own territory that was larger and more magnificent than the Mage City.

Now that this spectacular building has been completed, it has shaken the Mage City and impacted the Mage Holy Land in the eastern part of the continent.

There are also people with wild imaginations who, based on the time, believe that the Holy Dragon Noah had fallen into a deep sleep and the vortex of elements that had expanded above his head was perhaps some kind of strange phenomenon that occurred when the Holy Dragon Noah was transforming and absorbing external elements to replenish his own consumption.

However, this idea was soon drowned out by other bizarre conjectures that sounded even more absurd and incredible.

The city of Elishim and the wider area have become restless due to the emergence of this elemental vortex, but the order is still generally stable. The majesty of the Holy Dragon is enough to intimidate most people, except for spellcasters.

Because when the elemental vortex expanded to the city of Elisim, the spellcasters in the city discovered that the area they were in was turning into a magic-free land and an elemental desert.

Spellcasters below the legendary level cannot feel the existence of elements at all. If they want to complete the spell, they can only consume the magic power in their bodies or rely on spellcasting materials. There is no way they can command any elements. Even if the elements above their heads are so dense that mortals can see them with the naked eye, they cannot move at all.

Almost all spellcasters find it difficult to tolerate such an environment. It is like throwing a fish into a desert. Although it can jump a few times with its own strength, after jumping and exhausting the strength in its body, it will become a weak and fragile chicken no different from an ordinary person, and will be slaughtered at will.

As a result, a wave of fleeing the city of Elisim emerged. The vast majority of spellcasters were unwilling to stay in such an elemental desert, especially when there was no hope that this phenomenon would end in the short term.

When some people escape, naturally some people are attracted by this rare and extraordinary phenomenon. Although the talk of ruins and artifacts is nonsense, what if? What if it is true? What if I am the one lucky person in a million?

You won't lose anything by going to Elisim to take a look, and even if you gain nothing, you can just watch the fun.

Just when the city of Elisim was bustling with activity, the legendary wizard Selena, who had been away for many years, returned to her territory with her favorite student and granddaughter. The commotion at home was too loud, and she had to come back.

"Is this Noah's promotion to Legend?"

Seeing the elemental vortex cloud spreading from the mountain with a diameter of more than 300 kilometers, Selina, who was able to get inside information, raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Dad Long is so awesome!"

The girl, whose facial features were 70% similar to Selina's, stretched out her hand and clenched it gently, and then a thumb-sized flame ignited in the palm of her palm.

Seeing the flames dancing in the girl's palms, the mages who came to greet her looked at Gwen with envy and awe in their eyes.

Because countless mages have verified that under this elemental vortex, it is difficult for an ultimate mage to complete any energy-shaping spell. Even the most basic fireball, water ball, and lightning spells are difficult to form.

Only legendary wizards can compete with the beings in the mountains for elements and complete spells.

Although the girl in front of him only lit a weak flame in her palm, the meaning it represented was completely different from usual. It was a symbol of elemental authority and power level.

"This is outrageous. If this continues, when he wakes up, everything down there will be a mess."

Compared to the vast number of extraordinary people who were just having fun in the city, Selina, who was both a legendary wizard and the former ruler of the Augustus family, saw more. The magic-free restricted area formed by the imbalance of elements would cause extremely negative effects. It was not just as simple as the spellcasters escaping, but the production and life of mortals would be seriously disturbed.

The mere fact that the sunlight is blocked is unbearable for mortals. Although elemental light can also provide illumination, this light is not enough for crops to grow.

"Dad Long himself might not have anticipated this."

Gwen defended Noah,
"He fell asleep in the Mage City last time. I couldn't find him when I came back."

"You come with me!"

Selina did not comment and took Gwen to find the source of the vortex. It was a palace guarded by giants and dragons. Faced with the arrival of these two legendary wizards, no one could stop them.

Even the dragon fairies that are relied upon by the Holy Dragon will bow their heads in salute before them.

"Lady Serena!"

As the most senior dragon fairy, Shifraya has a completely different title from the others.

"Sif, it's been a long time since we last met. Your presence...Noah's fantasy from last year is about to come true."

Seeing the dragon fairy coming to greet her, and sensing her irrepressible aura, Serena looked her up and down, then teased with a smile,
"It looks like the Dragon Fairy King is about to be born."

"What a terrifying dragon transformation!"

Compared to the knowledgeable and calm Selina, Gwendolyn, who was following behind her grandmother, was secretly shocked when she saw the dragon fairy in front of her.

It is difficult for this fairy to use transformation to control her body size, because her body height has reached seven meters. Although she is still in a perfectly proportioned human form, she only has a human form.

Apart from her human form and anthropomorphic facial features, there was no trace of any humanoid element in her. Instead, she possessed characteristics of a dragon.

Although all dragon fairies are like this, the dragon fairy in front of him is in a more serious state. Not only are his cheeks completely covered with dragon scales, forming a complete bone mask.

On her forehead, a pair of small horns had grown on both sides of the already mature dragon horns. Behind her hips, a dragon tail had grown, and with a pair of dragon wings that had become even wider and thicker, her appearance was close to that of a golden dragon.

If it crawls on the ground, it will look like a golden dragon with a rather strange shape.

What you need to know is that Noah’s sleep has not ended yet, which means that the dragon transformation of this dragon fairy in front of him is far from reaching the end.

If this assimilation continues, what will this dragon fairy eventually become?

The dragon fairy king? But if he continues to transform into a dragon, how much does this have to do with fairies? Calling him the fairy king is a bit inappropriate.

"To me, legend is an unattainable achievement that can only be easily achieved by a genius like Miss Gwen."

Sifrea looked at Gwen, with radiating golden threads shining in her golden dragon pupils. Under such a gaze, any mortal would bow his head humbly, but this did not include Gwen who had already been promoted.

"Although you are not a genius, you work hard enough. The most important thing is that you follow the right dragon. As long as you stay with Long Dad, you will be promoted to become a legend sooner or later."

"Everything is a gift from His Highness."

"Where is Noah? Take me over to take a look. We can't let him continue like this."

Serena spoke up, interrupting the exchange between the two.

"Please come with me."

If it were anyone else, Shifraya would certainly refuse without hesitation, but facing this lady, she chose to trust her just like the lord.

"Wow, so beautiful!"

When Gwen, who was following closely behind Noah, saw Noah for the first time, she couldn't help but exclaimed, her eyes sparkling as if reflecting a galaxy of stars.

Because there really is a miniature galaxy rotating in front of him, which is made up of stars condensed from endless elements. And in this galaxy, there is a sacred and glorious golden dragon lying in it, sleeping soundly.

"This guy has evolved again!"

When she saw Noah for the first time, especially when she noticed the third pair of dragon horns on his forehead, even Selina, who was knowledgeable and had the vision of many legendary wizards crushed by the help of a certain existence in hell, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

"Now, no matter who it is, if they say you are not the reincarnation of the Dragon King, I won't believe it!"

Selena muttered softly in her heart, then drew out her staff, pointed the tip of the staff at the void in front of her, and gently slashed it, just like a paper cutter. A huge gap was cut in the space. At the same time, another elemental world was also cut open. Time and space were connected, and the elemental channel was formed.

Endless fire elements turned into waterfalls and poured down, transforming the brilliant galaxy where the golden dragon lay into a sea of ​​fire. However, this flame could not completely engulf and cover the galaxy.

Because the golden dragon who was sleeping soundly felt that an almost endless realm of elements was opened to him. Although it was forced, the golden dragon didn't care.

A dragon's tail swung out, and the gap that Selena had made with her staff collapsed instantly, turning into a larger passage. The terrifying devouring force caused everything in front of it to burn, turning it into a sea of ​​fire.

However, this excessive extraction from the elemental world soon alarmed the powerful beings within it, as a large number of elemental creatures were also swept away and flowed into the material world.

"Who? Reaping the flames?"

An angry questioning voice rang out as a fire giant came from the depths of the fire elemental world. However, when the giant saw the two girls who looked like twins, he stopped immediately and turned around after a slight hesitation.
"Holba will never let go of any ignorant person who tramples on the flames!"

However, as soon as the flame giant turned his body, he was confused to find that in front of him, a group of stars began to shine one by one...
