Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

"Hiccup~"

Noah let out a long and comfortable burp, which was nothing like the elegance of a golden dragon, but he didn't care now. Anyway, no other dragons saw him, so he was enjoying the meal now.

Although what he ate was all the active flesh and blood that he had criticized before falling asleep as having a bad taste or fishy smell, none of it was worth the feeling of satisfaction brought by having a full stomach.

Not only was it spiritual satisfaction, but there was also a huge physical change. Noah remembered how miserable he was before eating.

He was almost turning into a skeletal dragon like a black dragon. His body was shriveled and his scales were dull. The bed of pearls he was lying on was covered with a layer of gray-white powder. All the magic power of the pearls was absorbed and turned into powder.

The amount required for the first deep sleep was a bit more than expected, but fortunately, Noah was not awakened by hunger in advance. He successfully completed his first transformation, from a young dragon to a young dragon.

After he swept away most of the food in the dragon's nest, Noah gradually regained the splendor that a golden dragon should have. The golden dragon scales were neatly and orderly covered on the slender and strong dragon body, and the dark gold dragon pupils shone brightly, compared to the young ones. The Dragon Age was much brighter.

The two dragon horns extending slightly from both sides of the forehead branched out into a small branch, which made Noah, who was still in the young dragon stage, more majestic and graceful.

It is obviously different from other true dragon species. The dragon wings that extend to the slender tail are slightly folded. Even so, when Noah moves, a slight stretch makes him almost fly from the ground and swim in mid-air.

There is no particularly significant abnormal change in the shape of his golden dragon body, it is just the posture that a young golden dragon should have.

The only thing that is different is that he is now close to ten meters in length. This is not the size that a golden dragon that has just passed the hatchling stage should have.

But it doesn't matter, he has devoured so many resources, why is he bigger than the golden dragon of the same age? This is normal!

Compared to the physical changes, Noah was more interested in exploring his newly mastered innate spells, which were inheritance engraved in his bloodline. As long as he met the conditions, he could master them immediately.

As for what qualifies as qualified, it is naturally talent. In other words, everyone depends on their ability.

Even the same dragon type, in the same age group, can obtain different innate spells.

Of course, even if you acquire fewer innate spells, you can still make up for it through acquired learning. For the metal dragon, this actually doesn't matter. The more innate spells you awaken, the more you learn.

"My talent looks really good!"

Noah examined himself and sorted out the innate spells he had acquired from his bloodline. He couldn't help but brag because he had acquired quite a few spells.

Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the first-level spells, the inferior flame pearl and the burning hand, which he had mastered when he was a young dragon, but they are basically useless.

After waking up this time, many of the second- and third-level spells acquired were quite practical.

Second-level spells: Fire Blade, Detect Thoughts, Object Location, See Invisibility, Eternal Flame, Flame Explosion, Flame Dagger, Red Flame Sphere, Searing Ray, Solar Ray, Sun Flame Protection

Three-level spells: Hold Human, Arcane Vision, Flying, Fireball, Fire Arrow

Looking at the dozens of spells, although most of them were second-level spells, Noah's tail couldn't help but sway.

Doesn't this prove that his talent is outstanding among dragons? But looking at these flame-based energy evocation spells, the crystal core derived from the fire element elder should be indispensable.

Otherwise, he may not have so many innate spells, but even excluding these, the number of spells he has mastered this time is not small.

The most important thing, and what makes Noah feel most proud, is that he has mastered a four-ring spell.

Transfiguration!

This can be said to be the metal dragon clan's favorite, and it is also the most frequently used spell. It allows the caster to transform into another form.

Many metal dragons use this spell to disguise themselves, transforming into humanoid forms, walking in civilization, and enjoying the prosperity and brilliance of civilization.

However, Jinlong likes to use this spell to disguise himself and fish for law enforcement.

For example, he transforms into an injured sailor with a large amount of ancient gold coins, or a weak and beautiful girl to seduce criminals, and then severely punishes the evildoers.

If necessary, the golden dragon will show its true identity without hesitation, and then enjoy the adulation and worship of humanoid creatures.

Noah was noncommittal about the fishing methods of those golden dragon elders in his inherited memory.

His ideas are slightly different from these elders of the same kind. He will be pleasantly surprised when he masters the art of transformation, because the art of transformation can not only transform into a humanoid form.

In fact, this is a spell with a very wide range of expansion, which can even be called unlimited.

Theoretically, if you master the art of transformation, you can transform into any creature. The only limitation is that you cannot transform into a creature stronger than yourself.

Such restrictions are equivalent to none for a golden dragon that will inevitably reach the pinnacle of the material world as time goes by.

However, for Noah, who is still just a baby dragon, there are still many restrictions, but even so, there are many ways to play.

Of course, the transformation spell is not a wish-making spell. To successfully cast it, there are many prerequisites, the most important of which is to have a sufficient understanding of the form of the creature you want to change.

For humanoid mages, this requires a high level of attainment and experience in anatomy, but for dragons, searching in the inherited memory will inevitably yield something.

"Why are there so many humanoid forms?"

Noah, who was searching for the required knowledge in the inheritance, was a little speechless. Metal dragons really favor humanoid races and provide countless reference templates.

However, the dragons' favorite transformation is not humans, but high elves. Because this is the closest to the perfect humanoid posture in reality.

As long as it is not a transformation with the purpose of fishing like the golden dragon, the humanoid form that the dragons create for themselves is often the most perfect posture in their cognition.

"Ah! Finally found it!"

Skipping the reference to the transformation of humanoid forms, Noah found the knowledge he wanted.

That is the knowledge about the transformation of animals. There are dragons who like to transform into humans, and naturally there are dragons who like to transform into various animals, or even monsters. After all, dragon XP is extremely free.

This part of the golden dragon ancestors naturally left relevant transformation knowledge, so that the descendants do not need to figure out anatomy, which can save most of their energy.

"Angel of Judgment? Storm Giant! Chaos Roc! Hiss~ Phoenix is ​​also OK? What kind of creature is the Sea Demon Whale? Why is there a Balrog?"

I know very well what the biggest poison of Dragon Man is, so as a metal dragon, the protagonist will only use the humanoid form when necessary, and will not stay there all the time. He prefers to study the non-human form and is obsessed with his golden dragon body.
