Chapter 314 The Golden Dragon King Era Arrives
"Abdicate? Why do you suddenly want to abdicate?"
Noah looked down at the young monarch with black hair and golden eyes in front of him, just asking simply, without any confusion.
In terms of the life span of a legend, Urnos is still quite young. Even if his offspring Alexander is promoted to a legend, it will not have a fundamental impact on him.
Uornos is not a mediocre and incompetent monarch. Internally, he reorganized the family and reduced the number of royal family members. Even if he did not hesitate to reduce the influence of the royal family, he also required every member of the Augustus family to be an elite.
He was even more ruthless to the aristocracy. If there was any violation of the rules, he would make the entire family disappear. Even the legendary family had to obey him under his deterrence. If you dare to challenge the royal power, you will still not end up well.
However, Urnos did not simply exploit and weaken the aristocracy. He was generous in rewarding any subjects who made contributions with titles. Therefore, the foundation of his rule was extremely solid.
Externally, the second-generation King of Atlas was determined to make progress. In addition to the east where Noah's territory was located, he also expanded in the other three directions, especially in the north, expanding 5,000 miles and directly controlling a large grassland in the north of the continent.
Therefore, in the hearts of hundreds of millions of subjects in the Kingdom of Atlas, this monarch was a hero worthy of following and loyalty, and most of the subjects were willing to obey his rule and management.
If this king abdicated, I am afraid that many people would not accept it, especially the military nobles who were rewarded by Urnos and obtained the title.
"I told you the reason, uncle, have you forgotten it?"
Uornos knew what impact his decision would have, but he didn't want to wait any longer.
"I didn't forget it, but are you too eager? If you abdicate now, have you decided who to choose as your successor?"
Noah certainly knew why his nephew wanted to abdicate.
Because he wanted to follow the footsteps of his grandfather Cassius, his bloodline brought him to this point, but his bloodline also became the biggest shackle in his life. No matter what means he used, he could not break this shackle.
"Do I have any other choice besides Alexander?"
Looking up at the golden dragon lying above, Urnos asked back.
It sounded like a tone of accusation, but it contained endless helplessness, bitterness and pain.
"Isn't Wayne your choice all along?"
Noah turned a blind eye to the gaze of his nephew.
"But until now, he has not recognized me as his father. Even if I choose him, he will not obey my orders."
"So your only choice is Alexander."
"Yes, he is the most suitable candidate to become the third-generation monarch of the Kingdom of Atlas."
"Tsk, such words actually came out of your mouth."
Noah was amazed.
"Alexander is a very good child. In my eyes, his only flaw is that he has not awakened the Titan bloodline, but I am the only one who thinks this is his regret. In your eyes, uncle, this is probably not a shortcoming, but an advantage, right?"
"Of course, as long as I am still here, Alexander will never suffer from the pain of incomplete bloodline."
Noah said confidently.
"But uncle, if I let Alexander inherit my throne, then how do you plan to govern the Kingdom of Atlas?"
"Your question is too strange. The one who inherits the throne is your offspring, not me. How to govern the kingdom, you should ask Alexander, not me."
"What's the difference? Alexander was able to break through and become a legend, and the drop of true blood you gave him was indispensable."
"Hahaha, Urnos, this is your worry and concern. But you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Atlas is a kingdom established by Tidel and will always belong to your Augustus family."
Noah laughed when he heard this. How could he not know what his nephew was thinking? However, it is not surprising that any normal monarch would have similar doubts.
After all, the relationship between him and Alexander was not just that of an elder and a younger generation, but also a blood bond, making Alexander a dependent who could not resist.
"I believe in your promise."
Hearing Noah speak so bluntly, Urnos exhaled lightly, and his eyes became much softer.
"But I have another request."
"Tell me, as long as it's not too much, I can promise it."
"If there is a member of the Augustus family who awakens the Titan bloodline, please make him king!"
"Is that the only request?"
"Yes."
"Then I have a question. If the bloodline awakener is not from your father's branch, but from a branch of the family, will you also issue such an order?"
"My descendants enjoy the best resources. If under such resources, a bloodline awakener still cannot be born, but the branch is the first to give birth to an awakener, then the power of the family should be controlled by the other party. If waste people take power, it will only lead to destruction in the end."
Hearing the hypothesis proposed by Noah, Urnos gave the answer without even a moment's thought. This king had considered similar issues a long time ago.
"In that case, I agree. If another heir of the Titan bloodline is born in the Augustus family after you, besides Wayne, I will support him to be king."
"Thank you uncle, forgive me for being willful. I will ask you to take care of the Augustus family in the coming years!"
"It's not your kid's turn to entrust this kind of thing. Just go ahead and do whatever you want. After being a monarch for a hundred years, it's time for you to make way for those who come after you."
The exchange between the second-generation King of Atlas and Holy Dragon Noah ended here. After the king cleared all his knots and worries, he went to prepare for his abdication.
Not long after Urnos left, Alexander, who had just broken through and became a legend, rode his brother Theodore to see Noah.
"Uncle, I have made a breakthrough and become a legend!"
Alexander, whose appearance looked like a human-shaped golden dragon, led a golden dragon that looked left and right into Noah's palace with a respectful attitude.
"Yeah, not bad."
Noah looked up and down at the giant dragon-man in front of him, who was sixteen meters tall in his true form, and looked at the golden dragon beside him that had basically lost its humanoid features.
"Theodore? Do you still recognize me?"
"Uncle, of course I know you. It was you who gave me blood and new life."
Feeling Noah's gaze, the golden dragon lowered its head and maintained the most respectful prostrate posture.
"It seems that you still haven't recovered the memories of those years."
"Yes, I couldn't restore Theodore's previous memory. It only has the memory after fusion with true blood."
Alexander also cast his gaze at his brother aside, with a look of frustration in his eyes.
From a philosophical point of view, it is still open to question whether Theodore, who has lost his previous memory, can still be regarded as his younger brother.
However, from an extraordinary perspective, Theodore, who did not die after being fused with true blood, but only lost part of his memory, is definitely his biological brother, and he is closer than ordinary brothers and sisters.
Because they have the same true blood inheritance, and moreover, Theodore has not undergone any distortion changes in his body or soul.
People are still the same people, but their life forms have changed due to the influence of true blood, and their self-perception has also been slightly distorted, but these are all minor problems.
Even Alexander had to admit that this blood brother really helped him far more than before after losing his memory.
Because he was so obedient, he could safely leave the vital points to Theodore to defend on the battlefield, and he did not need to worry about what was behind him.
"But this isn't bad."
Noah stretched out his dragon claws again, and two balls of light blooming with dazzling golden light appeared in his dragon claws, just like before,
"I know all your hard work over the years. Now you are qualified to receive the second dose of true blood."
"What blood!"
Seeing the powerful true blood in the hands of his great-uncle, even Alexander, who was promoted to legend, felt a throbbing, and every part of his body felt an increasingly strong sense of desire.
"What? You don't want it? This drop of true blood is different from what you received back then."
There is no mistake. One post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, one read!
Although Noah was already an ancestral dragon when the blood was given, at that time, Noah had just successfully transformed and was not even a legend.
After many rounds of slumber, promotion and transformation, coupled with the accumulation of time, Noah's bloodline is now stronger than it was before.
Even in the order of ancestral dragons, the current Noah is by no means at the bottom, at least he must be in the upper middle. To be specific, Noah is really difficult to evaluate.
After all, the performance of the ancestral dragon ancestors he met back then was a bit exaggerated. Now Noah can't even catch up. He is not even an adult yet.
"I want it."
Theodore, who had lost his memory and was rebuilding his cognition, saw the true blood in Noah's dragon claws, and his eyes revealed the desire from the depths of his soul.
"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that I feel that the power of true blood is too powerful, which makes me question, what is the meaning of my own efforts and struggles?"
Alexander explained that compared to the power brought by dragon blood, the increase in power brought by tempering oneself and honing one's skills day after day is nothing compared to it.
Although he is not a pure-blooded dragon, Alexander can completely understand why most dragons do not focus on learning knowledge and honing skills, because it is completely unnecessary and just sleep.
"When you face an enemy of life and death who is only slightly stronger than you or whose skills are better than yours, you will know the meaning of these."
Noah didn't even want to answer such a stupid question. What was the difference between this and the theory that learning was useless?
Not to mention the metal dragon clan, even among the color dragon clan, as long as the old dragons take the initiative to learn knowledge, the power of bloodline has its limit after all, but there is no knowledge.
"Take it!"
Separating two drops of true blood is nothing to today's Noah, but Alexander, who has already broken through the legend, even though he has merged with Noah's true blood, his strength has increased slightly, but it is not obvious. This drop of true blood What it means to him is more to increase his upper limit of strength and enhance his potential.
However, Theodore, who had not yet broken through the legend, reacted much more violently after merging with true blood. His body size increased visibly to the naked eye. The thickened skeleton that grew too quickly even tore his flesh and blood and burst. His scaly skin.
In the midst of such a tragic transformation and evolution, Noah asked Alexander a question,
"Do you want to replace your father and become the third king of Atlas?"
"No."
"Hmm?"
Noah looked at the nephew in front of him with interest. He also gave an answer without hesitation. He was a little curious.
"Why?"
"Even if I become a king, I should use my own strength to expand the territory and build my own country, instead of competing with my father for power. This is a manifestation of incompetence."
Alexander said righteously.
"You know how difficult it is to build a kingdom with your own strength? In comparison, isn't it easier to replace your father as a son and obtain the achievements of the family for hundreds of years?"
"This is not what I should do as a son, and I don't think I can do better than my father after I replace him."
Alexander looked at his great-uncle with some confusion, but still answered firmly, firmly opposing the seizure of his father's throne.
"So, do you think your father is the best ruler of the Atlas Kingdom?"
"Yes."
"Then, if the kingdom is handed over to you, do you have the confidence to make achievements similar to your father's?"
"I don't have such confidence."
"That won't work, Alexander. An excellent monarch must have an unyielding will and believe that he can do and accomplish anything."
"I am not a monarch now."
"It will be soon, you have to be prepared."
"Uncle, is my father..."
Alexander's face showed shock.
"Don't be nervous, it's just that your father is a little tired and wants to go out for a walk, so he is ready to abdicate. You are the only heir he has designated. I am telling you these words, you can take them as a test."
"My father is going to abdicate? How is this possible?"
For Alexander, this news is undoubtedly a bombshell.
"He should have his own pursuits, right?"
Noah said with a smile.
"Then I..."
Alexander seemed a little at a loss at the moment.
"You will be the third king of Atlas, and the entire kingdom will be entrusted to you. I will support you and help you become a qualified golden dragon master."
Noah gave Alexander a reassurance,
"Go and prepare. I don't ask you to do better than Urnos, but at least you can't do worse than him."
