Chapter 313 Urnos Abdicates
The blood rain fell from the sky, scattered among the snow-capped mountains. Every drop of blood was like a red meteor. Just passing by could flatten a mountaintop.
The falling blood drops could eventually create a blood-colored lake in the mountains. The blood was thick and the heat was steaming, just like a volcanic crater about to erupt.
"Grom, you are not good enough!"
Noah looked at the orc demigod opposite whose chest was healing rapidly. He was in a good mood and his tone became a little frivolous.
The strength of this beast king fell by at least a small level. Therefore, the situation where he was suppressed in the last battle was completely reversed in this battle. It was this beast king who was suppressed by him.
Starting from the seventh level of legend, every step up is a new world. The difference in strength is one level, which is more exaggerated than the gap in the great realm below the legend.
Because Noah has the status of an ancestral dragon, his strength is not inferior to any near-saint in essence, but the difference is in quantity.
Ordinary legendary ancient dragons, even if they have the same realm as him, will be torn apart by the opponent's bare hands once they face a demigod, even if it is a demigod like the beast king in front of him who has been severely injured and has greatly reduced combat power.
Because at this realm, the bloodline of ordinary dragons no longer has an advantage. Instead, demigods have some characteristics of gods and have the suppression power of high status.
"We can stop here, Mr. Noah, you came here, you should not be looking for Grom to fight to the death, right?"
The old priest appeared again, blocking between Noah and the beast king, but this time, the old orc faced Noah and blocked Grom behind him.
This is an unfair battle. One side is in good condition, while the other side is seriously injured. However, what makes the old priest feel helpless is that Grom, who was obviously seriously injured, pretends to be in good condition. He must fight with all his strength against this golden dragon.
And the golden dragon also knew that his opponent had just gone through a hard battle and suffered heavy damage, but he still went all out, even using a stronger force than the last time to bully the stubborn orc.
Therefore, the result of this battle was that the stubborn beast king barely held on for a while in the early stage of the battle, but soon showed signs of defeat, and was constantly torn apart by the golden dragon, and blood was spilled on the mountains.
The old priest couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't want to see the beast king who gritted his teeth and held on, and suffered injuries that affected his foundation because of this unnecessary war, so he showed up to stop it.
"Of course not, it's just an ordinary exchange."
Noah laughed. He had a good time this time. Although bullying a severely disabled person was against the way of the golden dragon clan, he was not a pedantic dragon.
He had vassal territories on the Helan continent. Now he not only has a vassal of a human kingdom, but also has to trade with the other party in the future because of the agreement reached with the old orc priest.
If he didn't strike hard at the orc king, and let the other party think that he, the golden dragon monarch, was not easy to provoke, insidious and vicious, but left the other party with a gentle impression, then he would be doomed.
In the eyes of the orcs whose civilization level only remained in the tribal period, if you behave too civilized and abide by the self-righteous etiquette, the orcs, such uncivilized barbarians, will only think that you are cowardly, weak, and bullied, but will not think that you are kind and friendly.
Therefore, even in the process of fighting, the orc king Grom, who was frequently bullied by Noah, did not accuse Noah of taking advantage of his weakness.
He just thought that the dragon in front of him was related to the human mage who had just hit him hard not long ago. He just wanted to clarify this point. This was his duty as the beast king. The woman who could summon the lord of hell was too dangerous.
In the eyes of the orc king Grom, Noah took advantage of his weakness and took the opportunity to come and beat him up. Not only was it normal, but he also thought that Noah was not vicious enough.
Because, he has done similar things countless times in the process of rising from weakness to his current position.
Excellent leaders are never bound by morality, that is for the subjects under their command to follow. As the maker of rules, it is a joke to be bound by morality.
As a king, there is only one thing to do, that is, to open up more living land and plunder more resources for the subjects who follow him.
In order to achieve this goal, no matter what means are used, it is understandable. After all, the curses and wails left by the exterminated enemies will not leave even the slightest trace as time goes by.
On the contrary, the subjects who have been favored by this, they and their descendants will praise the monarch who exterminated the barbarians on the border and expanded the territory, and praise his great achievements.
Such a monarch, even if he dies, his name and his achievements will be passed down from generation to generation along with the continuation of the bloodline of the ethnic group.
Of course, the orcs who are about to unify the Helan continent are not currently in the enemy sequence, but this is not certain. Even if Noah reaches an agreement with the old orc priest, the orc king does not fully approve it, which is a great risk.
"You think so, Grom?"
Noah looked at the gray-skinned orc king with thick hair and a sturdy physique. In a short time, the orc king's several piercing wounds have been fully recovered.
This guy seems to be particularly good at face, or he cares about his image in the eyes of the orc subjects and is unwilling to show any weak attitude.
"Of course, you are welcome to come to me at any time, but when I come to you, don't refuse!"
Grom glanced at the old orc standing in front of him. Although he was unwilling to accept it, he also knew that it was still the old orc who had saved him, otherwise the golden dragon in front of him would probably do something even more outrageous.
"Of course I won't refuse, but I won't stay in your plane for a long time. If you want to find me, given your ability, it will probably be a little difficult."
Noah spread out his dragon claws, his tone sounded extremely rogue, with a mocking tone.
"We can make a contract!"
The Beastman King Grom took the initiative to speak. The old priest looked at the proud Beast King with some surprise. He never expected that the Beast King who had never bowed his head after persuading him many times would actually choose to lower his head at this moment.
"Sign a contract, what kind of contract?"
Noah pretended to be surprised.
"I can fight for you when you need it!"
Grom was silent for a moment, and then spoke.
"Sounds good, but why should I say yes?"
At this moment, Noah was not pretending to be reserved, but he did not understand why the Orc King's thoughts changed so quickly.
He didn't think that his violent beating could make this beast king bow his head. This was a demigod, and when he got to this point, the other party couldn't give in more than his will, which had been baptized by many dark fruits.
"Because I won't charge you anything!"
"But I didn't plan to give it to you originally."
Noah muttered loudly, and then raised his head slightly, ignoring that Grom opposite him was slightly deformed and twisted, and his huge face looked a bit ferocious, with a solemn look on his face.
"I just want to know now, why did you decide to sign a contract with me?"
"I want to go out and see the outside world."
"That sounds like a good reason, but it's not enough."
"..."
Grom, the orc king, stared at Noah, and then slowly spoke,
"I have a request."
"Um?"
"Don't let the hell lord behind that woman invade my plane."
"I can't guarantee you this. I am a noble golden dragon. How can I be connected to hell."
Under the expressionless gazes of the two orcs opposite, Noah vowed,
"However, as far as I know, the hell lord you encountered has no interest in invading the material plane, so your worries are unnecessary."
"I never told you that I described the appearance of that hell lord, how do you know who he is?"
There is no mistake. One post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, one read!
The old priest Saka immediately asked. After this battle, his impression of the golden dragon in front of him has been completely changed.
What surprised him even more was that this golden dragon was actually connected to hell. Although the dragon claimed not to have it, he no longer believed it.
"I have studied prophecy magic."
Noah's face didn't turn red, and his heart didn't beat. There wasn't a single lie in what he said. He really had nothing to do with hell, and he had also really thought about prophecy spells.
"Since the devil will never invade this land again, let's sign the contract!"
"Who will you choose as the witness to the contract?"
"Seven hills of heaven!"
"Can."
Although the orcs do not believe in any of the gods in Heaven Mountain, and have no yearning for that holy land that advocates order and kindness, this does not prevent them from trusting Heaven Mountain.
Therefore, under the witness of Heaven Mountain, which has no self-will, Noah reached a summoning contract with the orc demigod Grom.
This contract does not have any mandatory terms. Noah cannot forcefully summon the demigods, but the orc can choose whether he needs to respond to the summons, and even after responding, he does not need to obey Noah's command, it is all voluntary.
Of course, that's the case. Noah also has a countermeasure. As a summoner, Noah needs to provide sufficient power support. Once he cuts off the supply of magic power, the summoned creature will go back and forth from wherever it comes.
However, this is only a basic relationship of summoning, not absolute. If Noah summons his adoptive mother Serena, this legendary mage does not need Noah to provide magic power. She can actively cut off Noah's magic supply and rely on her own Power, resides where Noah calls.
Another way is to terminate the summoning at the moment of successful arrival, end the contract relationship, be sent back by the contract power, and then carry out independent teleportation based on the obtained coordinates without any checks and balances.
This is a method used by Noah's partner, Archangel Ophelia. However, both of these methods are too high-end for an orc. Even if he is a demigod, this is something he has never been exposed to. field.
If not, this orc demigod wouldn't need to bow to Noah. He signed a contract with Noah. His biggest need is to break away from the current environment and find new challenges in order to achieve greater breakthroughs.
Of course, there are thousands of ways to restrict things, and Noah doesn't bother to tamper with the contract. He is not a devil, and using power to suppress talents is the right way.
Therefore, the establishment of this contract only gave Noah and the demigod Grom an additional communication channel, and it was one-sided.
Noah can call the demigod Groml at any time, but Groml can only respond passively.
This is the end of being backward. Without enough knowledge, even if you master stronger violence, you will still be controlled by the dragon. Of course, this is also because the violence Grom masters is not strong enough.
After having fun, Noah went home and did not stay in the Helan Continent for too long. This continent, which was about to be ruled by orcs, had nothing to interest Noah except its resources.
After returning to the Ten Thousand Dragons Palace, Noah continued to shoulder the responsibilities of the Holy Dragon Lord, judging crimes and punishing evil, improving order, and occasionally taking care of the conditions of his two heirs.
Until the breakthrough of the first true blood follower, Alexander, who had the reputation of the Golden Dragon Knight and was also the undisputed first heir of the Atlas Kingdom.
In the year when Noah was 172 years old, Alexander, who was 116 years old, crossed the barrier that had blocked countless geniuses and successfully promoted to a legend.
The influence of Alexander's breakthrough was extremely wide. This not only meant that there was another legend on the Zealandia continent, but also that Noah had the first legendary follower.
Under the mesh roots of the golden tree, Alexander's presence set off an unprecedented uproar. A golden mist rose from his body, along the roots, along the trunk, and in the increasingly prosperous crown, a golden fruit was produced.
"Golden fruit!"
Noah picked the fruit from the crown, and the crisp and refreshing sweetness immediately permeated his body, and the dragon soul had a clear and transparent feeling.
"Really good!"
Noah's consciousness returned after savoring the taste of the fruit. Alexander's breakthrough not only brought him a complete fruit, but more importantly, it impacted the existing pattern of the Atlas Kingdom.
Even if the contemporary King of Atlas is not very fond of this heir who inherited the blood of the Holy Dragon, even he cannot deny that this golden dragon knight who defends the country and guards the border is the first crown prince that the whole country expects.
It's not that no one can shake his position. If Wayne, who has the blood of the Titans, is willing to stand up, he can naturally ascend to the throne with the support of the Augustus family, but the problem is that Wayne is unwilling.
Therefore, before Noah saw Alexander who had broken through and became a legend, Urnos, the contemporary king of Atlas, had already set foot in the Holy Dragon Palace.
"Uncle, I am ready to abdicate!"
The young man, whose face had not been marked by the passage of time, strode up to Noah and spoke a shocking statement.
