Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire
Chapter 552 - 324: You Are All My Treasures
CHAPTER 552: CHAPTER 324: YOU ARE ALL MY TREASURES
"The general idea is like this: follow this route, and without much effort, you can obtain the results you desire."
Noah, who had recovered his true body, looked at his second son, who appeared much more silent and reticent than usual.
"Now, do you have any other questions?"
"No, the questions I’ve accumulated during this period are just these."
Terramus shook his head.
After saying this, the father and son dragons immediately fell into a silent stillness, typically, Terramus would return to the Giant God Workshop after asking questions, to continue perfecting his mechanical army.
But now, this pure-blooded Golden Dragon remained in Noah’s palace, stubbornly looking at his father, thinking about something unknown.
"Do you have any other questions you haven’t asked?"
Although the gaze came from his own child, Noah felt extremely uncomfortable at the moment, so he took the initiative to break the silence.
"I..."
Terramus wanted to speak but hesitated. After a brief silence under Noah’s gaze, this adolescent Golden Dragon retrieved two Steel Maids with distinct feminine characteristics from his storage space.
The moment these non-human mechanical bodies appeared, a dead coldness spread in Noah’s palace, but under Noah’s energy intervention, this force was quickly constrained.
However, the manifestation of this force was not significant; what truly intrigued or surprised Noah was that upon perceiving the change in the environment or discovering Noah’s presence, these two mechanical Undead immediately knelt on the ground, trembling, showing extremely evident fear and abundant spirituality.
"I used Soul Fire from the Winter Ghost as the core to create these two Ice Shadow Sentinels, initially intended to gift them to my sister.
But I feel they aren’t perfect enough, so I ask Father to identify the flaws to ensure they won’t harm my sister."
Looking at the two mechanical Undead kneeling at his feet, Terramus proudly and stubbornly lifted his head, introducing them to his father.
Whether mechanical constructs or Undead, they shouldn’t possess any emotions; for battlefield consumables, this is an advantage, but for the strong, it is a congenital flaw.
By combining mechanical and Undead, Terramus managed to eliminate, or reduce, such a flaw. The mechanical Undead born from his hands possessed remarkably developed self-emotions.
"Ripping out the soul core of Legendary Undead and using them as the source of spirituality for mechanical constructs, you have done very well; nothing needs modification.
The sole flaw is only the dead-still power from the Winter Ghost’s soul core, but this power is useless in front of your sister, so this will be a very good gift for her."
Noah glanced at these mechanical Undead driven by steel and soul fire, offering his comments or rather, praises.
"Since you think it’s good, please deliver this gift to my sister for me."
Terramus stepped back.
"Why don’t you give it to her yourself?"
Noah asked.
"I’m too busy, don’t have time to spend with her."
The second son of the Holy Dragon shook his head.
"Lies, excuses."
Noah ceased maintaining superficial calm, pressing with his inquiries,
"You’re dissatisfied with me as your father, right?"
"You are my father; I dare not have any opinion against you."
Terramus replied.
"Dare not, rather than having none, it seems you do have opinions against me. However, this is only natural, as the treatment among you siblings does differ quite a bit."
Noah did not deny but candidly acknowledged a big objective fact.
The fact was, even though his daughter had just been born, Scarlett received more materially from him than any brother did.
"The entire Giant God Workshop serves my ideas. Father, I have no dissatisfaction with my treatment."
Saying this, Terramus paused, then asked the genuine question he wanted to know,
"I only want to know what you took my sister to do."
"I just took her on a tour through Elisium City, to taste mortal food and observe mortal life."
Noah replied.
"..."
Terramus was silent for quite a while before speaking with a self-mocking tone,
"Among us siblings, you love my sister Scarlett the most, don’t you?"
"I take special care of your sister; I do not deny that, but the effort I put into you and your elder brother is in no way inferior to hers."
"Father, I should continue my research; otherwise, I might forget some of the ideas you’ve told me."
Terramus did not respond further to Noah, but instead awkwardly found an excuse to leave, unwilling to linger any longer.
"Wait a moment."
Noah stopped his second son, and when Terramus turned back, this Holy Dragon Great Lord spoke,
"Your expertise in Mechanical Engineering is already on par with any Goblin Engineer, so, are you interested in teaching?"
"Teaching?"
"Exactly, I plan to establish a course related to Mechanical Engineering at Dragon Academy, and I am troubled finding a suitable mentor."
