Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

"Noah, my father is going to the royal capital!"

When Noah lazily walked out of the dragon's nest, he saw the reckless man howling outside the nest under the scorching sun.

Unlike the stinky young knight who was wearing armor and holding a sword half a month ago, Tyrell was not wearing heavy armor at this moment. He was just wearing a loose robe with a set of chainmail underneath, which looked quite light.

"Just go, why are you crying?"

Noah was a little confused and didn't understand what this guy was doing with this expression.

"Don't tell me, you don't know what your father is doing in the capital."

"I know, isn't it just to be promoted to a noble title? But what's the use of losing a noble title? It's not worth going all the way."

As the first heir to the title of nobleman, Tedder did not take the title of nobleman seriously at all.

In other words, no one living on the border would take these artificially defined identities seriously. In the border land, power comes from strength.

Power is fist power!

If the nobles do not have equal power, they will be worse than shit in the eyes of the barbarians and fanatics on the border.

"Barbarian, when your father comes back, you will no longer be the son of an earl, but the son of a marquis."

"What's the use of this? Isn't it just that the title has changed, but actually nothing has changed?"

Tyrael was thinking the same thing as his father.

Similar ideas are widely circulated among border nobles, which is related to the kingdom's long-term harsh treatment of border nobles.

Under normal circumstances, when a feudal noble makes meritorious service and his title is promoted, his territory will also be promoted, and there will be many other rewards.

But the expansion of the territory of the border nobles meant that the surrounding wild lands where no one could even be seen were assigned to their names, and some slaves and treasures were rewarded.

Without substantial benefits, naturally no one is willing to bother. Although the border nobles have more freedom than the feudal nobles in the kingdom, they are really not without some obligations. If the kingdom wants to launch a war, it still has to send troops according to its title and obey. The royal family directs the battle.

Of course, war recruitment orders are generally not sent to border nobles, especially border nobles who are exploring the wilderness.

"It's different. With the title of marquis heir on your head, you can seduce the women of the great nobles. If you can abduct a few direct noble women, your territory may be able to obtain more population, and Other support.”

Although his adoptive father disdained the political marriage of nobles, Noah was still prepared to encourage the young and promising boy in front of him and tell him the benefits that marriage could reap.

"Are you talking about a noble marriage? Is this as good as you say?"

Tyrell expressed doubts that the border nobles would also marry each other, but forget about the population. It would be particularly good to have a few knights with them, and bring a few more armors and horses.

However, Tedder is an exception. His mother is not a noble, but she is more noble than ordinary nobles because his mother is a high-level spellcaster.

Everything within the territory is now managed by his mother. Cassius was able to lead the knights to kill a circle outside and then come back. This female mage in charge of internal affairs played a major role.

"You seem to have never left the territory since you were born?"

Looking at the complaining young man in front of him, Noah suddenly asked.

"No, what's wrong?"

Although the boy yearned for the outside world, he was also a little afraid, because outside the area of ​​human activity, only monsters roamed rampant.

"This is a rare opportunity. You can just go to the royal capital to have a look."

Even if he doesn't leave the dragon's nest, Noah knows how vast the world he is in is. Even the scenery outside the world can be glimpsed in the blood inheritance of the dragon clan.

But human beings are different. The only thing the boy in front of him can know about the outside world is in books. However, no matter how exquisite the pictures in the books are and how gorgeous the vocabulary is, it is still not as good as seeing it with your own eyes.

"Should I go too?"

Tedder was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, you should broaden your horizons and see how luxurious those real nobles are. By then, you will have the motivation to seduce their daughters and granddaughters."

"No, I am not such a person. My goal in life is to become a brave and fearless lord like my father and lead the knights to open up more territories."

In response to Noah's flirtatious words, Tadel's face turned red and he looked a little shy. In the final analysis, he was just a boy who was not yet 14 years old.

"But seducing a noble lady will allow you and the knights you will lead in the future to get better weapons and armor, and conquer more territories."

Noah's bewitchment was like the devil's whisper, and even Tedder's will was a little shaken.

"Stop talking."

"Wait a minute, you don't yearn for love, do you?"

The advice Noah gave was based on interests. His adoptive father was dismissive because he believed in his own fists and looked down on the nobles in the kingdom.

The guy in front of him resisted because of other reasons. Noah ignored Tadel's age. Human teenagers of this age are at their most restless, and their thoughts are at their dirtiest and purest.

"I will definitely marry the girl I like, no matter what her status is."

The boy, whose face was flushed, clenched his fists and his eyes were firm.

"Oh, so is there a girl you like now?"

"No."

Tedder squirmed.

"Then I suggest you go to the capital to look for it, maybe you can meet someone you like."

"But if my father goes to the capital, who will protect the territory?"

Teddel was worried and talked about the reason why he came to the Dragon's Nest to howl early in the morning.

His father's strength had left an indelible mark in his heart, and he subconsciously felt that the territory could not be separated from his father's protection for a moment.

"It is enough for the pioneering knights to stay behind. The slightly stronger monsters around the territory have been killed by your father, and the rest are not a threat."

"But..."

"Your worry is too strong. If your father leaves, don't you still have your mother?"

Noah said indifferently.

"Noah, you don't understand. You were born too late. When I first remembered things, I saw tens of thousands of lizardmen attacking the city. The ground was covered with their tamed ferocious species, and the sky was full of roaring dragon knights."

Teddel shook his head and told the fear buried deep in his memory.

"I hid in the basement of the castle and cried, but even so, I could feel the walls shaking. The air was full of stench and a strong smell of blood. Although my father was very strong at that time, he was not as strong as he is now."

"It's over. As long as your father is alive, this kind of thing will never happen again."
