Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

"How long have you been pregnant?"

Noah looked at Edith with a strange look, not because she was pregnant again after three years, but because they were a young couple, and they didn't take any precautions, and they were fighting frequently, so what was strange about pregnancy?

"Half a year."

"Half a year, this doesn't seem like half a year!"

Golden Dragon was thoughtful. Edith was a half-elf, and Teddel was older and younger, and although they both seemed mediocre, they were actually out of the ordinary. Their children naturally couldn't be viewed by ordinary people's standards.

Mortal humans usually give birth smoothly after nine to ten months of pregnancy, but they were different. Little Gwen stayed in her mother's belly for more than a year.

"How long was little Gwen pregnant?"

"About fifteen months."

"It feels like your second child will stay longer."

Noah made a comment.

"I feel the same way. Edith's appetite is much bigger now than when she was pregnant with Gwen."

Teddel also agreed. As a husband, he was naturally more meticulous in treating his wife. He knew the situation better than Golden Dragon.

Although everyone had expected it, including Edith herself, the child she was pregnant with this time might be more special than Gwen.

But when her pregnancy lasted for a year and a half, but her belly was still only slightly bulging, even the most obtuse people could feel something was wrong and detect abnormalities.

"Dad Dragon, when can I be a sister?"

Little Gwen sat on the high platform, swinging her white and crystal short legs, and asked the golden dragon with expectation but doubt. Noah could not give an answer, but could only give a vague guess,

"Maybe we have to wait another year!"

"A year? It's a long time!"

Little Gwen, who had just celebrated her fourth birthday, could only sigh like this. For her, a year is equivalent to a quarter of her current life, which is a very long time.

"Do you want a brother or a sister?"

"Whether it is a brother or a sister, I like it. I just want to be a sister, and I will definitely be a great big sister."

Little Gwen answered without thinking, waving her little fist, with a confident look on her face.

"Yeah, our little Gwen will definitely become the most gentle big sister."

However, the facts gave Noah a gentle slap in the face. He made a mistake in judgment. Even after a year, the child in Edith's belly still showed no signs of being born. It was stable and looked like it would stay for a long time.

"Is this going to give birth to a troublesome baby?"

When no one was around, Noah also complained in a low voice.

Even if it was a dragon egg of a real dragon, it would almost hatch in the right environment, but Edith's belly was still motionless, and the child inside was still unwilling to come into this world.

At this time, the Augustus family had a completely different attitude towards this child who had been pregnant for two and a half years but still had not been born.

Even though Edith strongly opposed it, her position as the leader of the Griffin Knights was removed, and she was forced to be taken to the city of Elishim to take care of the fetus.

Even though Serena was extremely busy with work and had to take little Gwen to class, she would set aside some time every day to visit Edith.

As for Taidel, although he was expectant and surprised, and a little bit apprehensive and uneasy, he was now the busiest person.

Because he took over his wife's Knights, he was busy every day. He finally came back with the help of the teleportation array, but he had to go back without saying a few words.

However, the most serious person in the entire Augustus family was not someone else, but Noah's adoptive father, Cassius, who once again had the titles of Disaster Terminator and Sky Wrath after the Holy Dragon Slayer and Dark Conqueror.

This legend, who became more powerful with the passage of time, never left the city of Elishim after his daughter-in-law became pregnant again for 24 months but failed to give birth to a child.

This is undoubtedly an extremely rare thing, because the whereabouts of this legendary Grand Duke have become uncertain since he conquered the Dark Region.

He is outside the territory for most of the year, and many followers in the territory who come here because of his fame can often only know the great achievements of this legend in the distance through bards.

But now, Cassius declined all requests for help and invitations, and stayed in the territory without giving face to anyone. The most delighted ones were naturally those melee superhumans who came here for his reputation.

However, Cassius's mind was not on them. Even if someone had the opportunity to see him, ask him for advice, and give him a few random pointers, which made him think about it and want to scratch his hair, he would send him away directly.

Noah, on the other hand, could often see this terrifyingly strong legend walking into the Eldis Mountains, holding different weapons and practicing combat skills.

There was no surging fighting spirit like the sea, and no supreme power that could split mountains and break peaks with one blow. What Noah saw was just a tall and resolute young man holding an ordinary fine steel weapon and practicing techniques that even children could practice.

"Hiss~"

Seeing this scene, how could Noah not understand why the child in Edith's arms could stay for so long? The answer was already in front of him.

The Golden Dragon made a mistake in his first prediction, but his second prediction was extremely accurate.

When little Gwen was five and a half years old, the Nine Swords Grandmaster had been pregnant for three years.

On this day, there was no wind or cloud over the city of Elishim. The sky was vast and the sun was in the sky. The blue sky was clean and transparent, which made people feel palpitating.

It was like a deep blue sea without waves, hanging upside down above the sky. The invisible heavy pressure made the noisy city in the past seem a little quiet.

Although there were still many people and people coming and going, the voices of everyone were much smaller under the unknown pressure. Some people started to drive away and didn't want to stay in the city.

Boom--

This kind of particularly uncomfortable heaviness and silence was finally broken when the sun rose to the center of the sky. It was a mighty and whistling wind, sweeping clouds that came from nowhere.

A moment ago, there were no clouds in the sky, only the sun was in the sky. In the blink of an eye, it was piled up by mountain-like clouds, and the sunlight was completely blocked. There was no light between the sky and the earth.

However, in the lead-like black clouds, only the clouds were rolling, but no thunder roared or exploded. Such a strange celestial phenomenon, even if it broke the previous silence, made people even more uneasy.

In the city of Elishim, where the permanent population has exceeded one million, and even in the surrounding acropolis and villages, many people hid in their houses, stopped all activities, and dared not walk outside. The whole area was terribly quiet, and all living things chose to hibernate.

Wow——

A cry sounded in the Duke's mansion, and all the uneasiness and tranquility were shattered at this moment.

Boom——

At the moment when this cry sounded, a golden thunder fell from the dark clouds like the sea of ​​ink, and struck the Duke's mansion, the house where the cry sounded.

When this thick and straight thunder fell, the endless sea of ​​ink seemed to have emptied all its energy and taken away all its support. It fell apart in a shorter time than when it was formed.

The bright sunlight was no longer blocked and fell on the earth again. The invisible heavy pressure also disappeared with the sunlight, and the world became fresh and lively again.

The wind was noisy, but also gentle. The birds sang boldly and energetically. The wolves ran in the wilderness, roaring and roaring, cooperating seamlessly to hunt the deer.

The flying birds and beasts soon forgot everything that had just happened. Compared with tracing the unusual source, how to fill their stomachs was the most important thing for the beasts to think about.

Even for the self-proclaimed civilized human race, most of the actions were not much better than those of the beasts. People ignored or overlooked this incident.

Only a small group of people would pay attention, but only a few were qualified to know what the reason was for this celestial change.

"From now on, you are a sister."

Noah brought Gwen, who could no longer be called a girl, to the courtyard used as a delivery room, looking at the baby carried out by Selena with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

It was a baby boy with smooth black hair. Although he was just born, he could see the clear muscle outline and looked particularly strong.

However, this was the least worthy detail, because compared to the pair of eyes shining with a faint golden luster and the golden thunder in his hands, his figure could be completely ignored.

"But it's not easy to be a sister!"

Titan blood!

Undoubtedly, after his adoptive father Cassius, the Augustus family once again gave birth to the second inheritor with Titan blood.

At the same time, there is no doubt that Teddel gave birth to another heir with far more talent than himself, and he still maintained his position in the family without any suspense.

"Why?"

Although she has become a spellcaster, Gwen still maintains the heart of a child, innocent and romantic. Noah's words made her feel curious.

"You want an obedient brother, right?"

"Yeah!"

Little Gwen nodded repeatedly.

"But do you think your brother looks like he will be obedient?"

Noah pointed at the baby boy holding the thunderbolt in his hand and not crying or making a fuss.

Gwendolyn hesitated for a moment, then shook his head subconsciously.

"In fact, it's very simple to make your brother listen to you and call you sister honestly. Just beat him down."

"Is this okay?"

Little Gwen widened her already large eyes.

"Of course, there is no sister in the world who doesn't beat her brother?"

Noah said seriously.

But this rather unscrupulous teaching immediately attracted the angry glare of his father.

"Noah, you bastard, how can you teach your children like this?"

"Kids always fight. If I don't tell them, will they stop fighting?"

Jin Long said indifferently. Then he ignored the golden-eyed baby boy who had already looked at him, and passed on his experience to Gwen, who he had raised.

"Little Gwen, remember, you must beat your brother as early as possible, otherwise when he grows up, you may not be able to beat him."

"No, he is my brother, he is not my opponent."

Noah's words stimulated Gwendolyn, clenched her fists, and vowed.

"Of course, little Gwen, you follow your sister to learn magic, and your sister will guarantee that you can suppress this kid for life!"

Selena came to Noah quietly, gave Noah a slap, and then her palm fell, gently pinched her granddaughter's smooth little face, and encouraged.

"Okay!"

Gwen answered loudly with confidence.

"What name do you plan to give this kid?"

Noah did not hit his little girl. Although the Titan bloodline is indeed powerful, bloodline cannot determine everything. This little guy who looks extremely extraordinary at birth is not a Titan after all, but a human who carries the blood of the Titan.

Even if it is ten thousand steps further, even if it is a real Titan, it is not invincible. Titans are not without a record of defeat. Of course, on a long time scale, they do win more.

"Urnos!"

Cassius spoke, he looked at his grandson, and his dark eyes contained a kind of spirit that Noah had never seen before.

Found a suitable successor?

Witnessed the family's growth again?

At this time, Noah did not see through how much joy was hidden in his adoptive father's eyes.

When Cassius spoke, even Selina would not refute him, let alone the young couple, who still did not have the right to name their second offspring.

"If you don't have time, I will take care of Urnos in the future."

Everyone thought it was very reasonable, and there were no unexpected requests. The legendary Grand Duke Cassius decided to teach his grandson personally.

Noah did not feel any surprise either. After all, they were all inheritors of the Titan bloodline, so it was more appropriate for the grandfather and grandson to stay together. However, the golden dragon was a little confused.

"Why is it here?"

Noah looked at the little brat below who was only half a year old, but could run and jump, and could hold the innate thunder spear to hunt the ferocious species.

The little brat's buttocks were still bare and exposed, but he could already pierce the head of the ferocious saber-toothed tiger with the thunder spear.

"The environment and ecology here are kept primitive enough, and there are enough ferocious species and dragon species for him to practice combat skills."

Cassius, standing next to Noah, gave an explanation.

"I don't care how many ferocious beasts you kill, but you can't kill dragon beasts randomly. It took me a lot of time to collect them. If you kill them randomly, I will take the Thunder Spear from him."

"You can go and take it now!"

"Hmm?"

"Didn't you want to study it a long time ago? Now you can."

Facing the confused look of the golden dragon, Cassius confirmed what he had just said,

"He can't always rely on this natural weapon. It will make him cowardly and weak. He should learn to fight with his fists and know how to fight with bare hands."
