Ancient Wizards: A Little Progress Every Day

When Dago slowly opened his eyes, he found himself standing quietly on a long, dilapidated, golden street.

The lingering dream image on my retina quickly faded, replaced by the suffocating metallic feel of reality.

This is the depths of the "Mechanical Heart" ruins, the industrial ruins left behind by the Dwarven civilization.

Once, this place was filled with the hissing of steam, the grinding of gears, and the pungent smell of burning heavy oil.

That was a glorious testament to the Third Age of "Steam and Steel," a mechanical miracle that defied the laws of nature.

Everything around was golden, radiating a golden luster.

It is still within the mechanical heart.

Those pipes that once carried high-pressure steam now resemble bulging golden veins, winding along the building's exterior walls.

However, at this moment, the mechanical heart had been completely transformed into cold gold, and all the metal within it had turned into gold.

This is a golden tomb of death.

There was no sound at all; the surroundings were absolutely quiet and peaceful.

There was no clattering of gears, no roar of pistons, and even the whistling of the wind through the gaps in the metal was swallowed up by the heavy precious metal.

Dago looked down and was shocked to find that the golden fruit pit he had been clutching tightly in his hand in his dream had now turned into a golden runestone.

The golden magic box he had fought so hard for had already been opened.

Lying at his feet, the box contained a crimson runestone and an irregularly shaped black metal block the size of a fist.

Dago was silent for a moment, then quietly picked up the golden runestone in his hand to examine it.

The runestone contains only one rune, named—[Melville's Golden Law]!

"Is this the road to the Land of Gold?"

Dago murmured.

He bent down and picked up everything on the ground.

Inside the opened golden magic box, another runestone contained a complete set of metal magic inheritance.

These are: [Touch of the Golden Law], [Body of the Golden Law], [Head of the Golden Law], [Heart of the Golden Law], and [Soul of the Golden Law].

These are not just five spells; they are five steps to godhood, a complete transformation of one's own life form.

The five spells are clearly connected by their names alone, and together with the previous [Melville's Golden Law] seal, they form a complete metal-based spell school.

This is a closed-loop evolutionary system designed to elevate fragile flesh and blood into perfect metallic life forms.

Throughout the history of the wizarding world, countless schools of thought have attempted to pursue truth through bloodline transplantation and mechanical modification.

But such systematic knowledge, which achieves life leaps through element substitution, is unheard of.

"Is this the legacy of the Golden Law that the 'Gold Eater' spoke of?"

Dago seemed to be deep in thought, then suddenly realized something.

The young man who appeared in his dream, the one who called himself the "Gold Eater," had such ambition that it was chilling.

The dream of a golden kingdom that the "Gold Eater" built throughout his life may not be just a golden kingdom.

Those golden buildings and golden streets may just be the foundation of some grand ritual.

It also represents an ancient and powerful metal-based magic system.

And the name of this system is—the Golden Law!

The name itself contains the power of a rule, a domineering will to assimilate the world.

Dago stared at the complete set of metal-based spells in his hand, remaining silent for a long time.

This is probably the oldest, most profound, and most powerful inheritance he has ever received.

Even if one were to pay the price of hundreds of years of lifespan in the restricted section of the college library, it might not be possible to obtain such a systematic collection of advanced knowledge.

Originating from the legendary "Melville," an ancient wizard whose rank is unknown but whose power is undeniable, this is a brand new metal magic system created with the utmost dedication of his life!

This is not just power; it is the ticket to the "Gate of Truth".

Although it is not yet complete, it is only one part of the inheritance of the "Golden Law".

It's just one piece of the puzzle in the Golden Kingdom.

Like a complex and sophisticated structure, Dargo only received the blueprints for the power core, but lacked the control center and transmission system.

Dago still needs to travel to the Golden Land, obtain the key to unlock the Golden Kingdom, and collect the remaining puzzle pieces before he can ascend the Golden Throne and restore the ancient glory of the Golden Kingdom.

It was a road strewn with corpses.

To collect lost heritage in the cruel wizarding world means to contend with countless terrifying beings lurking in the shadows.

Thinking of the magnificent, glorious, and beautiful golden kingdom standing on the golden sand sea that he had seen in his dream, Dago's heart couldn't help but tremble and be excited.

It is a primal thirst for power, a greed deep within the soul of everyone who embarks on the wizarding journey.

But he quickly suppressed that excitement.

He calmly mobilized his mental energy to suppress the secretion of adrenaline and allowed his heartbeat to return to normal.

An unparalleled legacy also brings unparalleled challenges.

In the wizarding world, there is no free lunch; the gifts of fate always come with a hidden price tag.

Behind every opportunity lies a risk tenfold or even a hundredfold.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

"When gold appears in the world, waves of greedy people will come to covet it... Even the dwarven civilization with its mechanical heart will worry that the Thunder Hammer and the Flame Hammer will be stolen and robbed by goblins, dragons, cyclops..."

Even those self-proclaimed righteous white wizards, faced with such temptation, would not hesitate to tear off their hypocritical masks and dissect and study him.

The legacy of the entire "Golden Law" will only attract more "treasure hunters"...

Dago took a deep breath and carefully stored away the two runestones and the golden magic box, thinking to himself, "Before my strength reaches a certain level, I must not let anyone know that I possess the legacy of the [Golden Law]."

He must be like a lurking viper, hiding his fangs deep until he has the ability to deliver a fatal blow.

Thinking about it, Dago picked up the irregular black metal block that was placed next to the golden magic box.

The metal block was icy cold, as if it could absorb the surrounding light.

After acquiring it, he discovered that the black metal was almost identical to the black dog named "Yitai" that he had seen in his dream.

"Golden Law"—have you even prepared the metallic medium needed to cast the [Golden Law] spell for me?

In the wizarding alchemy system, the purity of the casting medium directly determines the upper limit of the spell's power.

Dago weighed the not-too-heavy black metal block in his hand and muttered, "But this 'Titanium' seems to be of a rather low grade, and the quantity is far too small."

Dago shook his head, casually put the metal block away, and then looked around.
