Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire
Chapter 32: Hundred-Year Covenant
When Noah saw that the dwarf ruler ignored Selina and many of the followers on the ship and only greeted him, he understood why his adoptive mother brought him here.
As the most powerful dragon species among the metal dragons, the golden dragon has a reputation that matches it.
This reputation is forged by thousands of golden dragons over countless epochs and can benefit every golden dragon.
Even if Noah is just a young dragon now, he can still enjoy this honor.
No creature present felt that there was anything wrong with the behavior of Elken Bronzebeard, the ruler of Ironforge. This is a concept and sense of identity that has gradually formed over a long period of time and has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Golden dragons should have such a lofty and noble status. This is what they deserve.
"Warrior favored by the mountains, I am the golden dragon Noah Heliers La Mondon. May the earth guide your path and the glory of the mountains be with you."
Faced with such a formal greeting, Noah had to pick it up and respond to the other party.
"Your Highness Noah, please allow me to ask, what is your relationship with these humans? Have they done anything offensive to you? If there is such behavior, the three thousand heavily armored dwarf warriors of Ironforge are willing to fight for you."
After the formal greeting, Erken raised his head and looked at the lord's wife beside Noah. His beard, which was braided into a braid and almost dragged to the ground, swayed slightly with his movements.
Even with the legendary deterrence, it is obvious that this dwarf ruler still has great resistance and dissatisfaction with humans, as well as some unspeakable prejudice.
"The Augustus family is the guardian family chosen by my parents for me. Lord Cassius is my adoptive father, and this is my adoptive mother."
Noah introduced immediately.
Humans who raise golden dragons should naturally benefit from the reputation of golden dragons. Moreover, his adoptive parents are really good to him. His biological parents cannot be so good, because it is impossible to give him gems as candy beans.
"It's actually a human recognized by the golden dragon."
"I've never heard of it before."
As Noah's voice fell, a low murmur sounded among the dwarves arrayed in the square, and the tense atmosphere dissipated for the most part.
"Since it is a human recognized by the golden dragon, it is naturally qualified to be an honorable guest of Ironforge."
Not only ordinary dwarves, but also the face of Elken Bronzebeard, who was originally so serious that he seemed to be ready to draw his weapon to fight at any time, became much more relaxed, and the solemn atmosphere in the square was swept away at this moment.
"Heh, old dwarf who is so stubborn!"
At this time, Noah heard a sneer from his ear. It was his adoptive mother who was arranging Elken, and this unconcealed voice did not make the dwarves in the square have any strange reaction. Obviously, this voice was only heard by him.
"This visit will go smoothly, you don't have to worry about fighting, little Noah, you have made great contributions, and I will reward you well when I go back."
Noticing Noah's gaze, Selena smiled gently.
The lord's wife, who originally looked elegant and noble, but gave people a sense of unattainability, now also had a kind of affinity that made people feel like spring breeze.
Noah turned around and looked at the dwarves below, and vaguely understood something.
The fact is indeed as his adoptive mother said. When they got off the ship, they were all treated as honored guests. Noah received the best treatment and was invited to the palace of Erken.
The dwarves presented him with a large number of gold cakes and many gems, including several flawless ones, which were all loved by the golden dragon.
However, the ruler of Ironforge avoided him and took several dwarf elders to talk with his adoptive mother in the palace next door.
Noah enjoyed the gems that the dwarves found from the lava of the earth fire like eating candy beans. While thinking, he had completely figured it out.
The dwarves are also an ancient race with a long heritage. They have a strong racial self-esteem and need face. Although they are not as good as elves, they also need face.
Put yourself in their shoes, think from their perspective, if he is the dwarf ruler of Ironforge, facing the surrender request made by the suddenly rising human family, from the perspective of blood inheritance and power continuation, facing the power that can destroy them, surrender is of course the best choice.
But if the dwarves of Ironforge kneel down in the face of powerful military oppression, how will they deal with themselves in the future? How will they face the dwarves of other branches? Don't they have face? Will they and their descendants still be able to survive?
The dwarves are not those monster clans in the wilderness that bully the weak and fear the strong. They are also a group with a long history and developed civilization, and they have many gods to worship and believe in.
Don't think about letting them surrender because of military oppression, at least the reason for surrender cannot be because of fear of legends.
The dwarves need to be decent, they need a suitable and lofty reason to maintain the face of Ironforge, a reason that no one can find fault with or say anything about.
So, the golden dragon, who was still in the young dragon stage, was brought here.
Submitting to a human family with legendary military power and submitting to an elegant noble recognized by a golden dragon are two completely different concepts.
The former will be ridiculed, while the latter can be widely recognized.
"Hmm?"
Noah, who thought he had figured out the general idea and understood the dwarves, suddenly raised his head. He felt the abnormal flow of elements in the atmosphere. It was because a high-level spellcaster was controlling the elements.
Boom——
A beam of incandescent light shot up into the sky, the elements were wailing, the mountains were shaking, the palace was trembling, and dust and gravel were falling.
"Didn't we agree not to fight?"
Feeling the vibration from the ground, Noah was immediately numb. He looked around to see where to go to escape.
"Of course not."
A flash of inspiration came, and the graceful figure of the foster mother appeared in front of him, smiling, and seemed very satisfied with the result of this visit.
"Little Noah, the matter is done, we should go."
"Is it over?"
Noah looked at the dwarf women around him who had just served him. They were also at a loss, and their eyes were full of panic and anxiety.
"Don't be nervous. From now on, Ironforge is an ally of the Augustus family. I have signed a hundred-year contract with your patriarch."
Selena was obviously in a very good mood. While comforting these dwarf maids, silver runes lit up in the air, and after shining in sequence, they formed a portal.
Noah followed his adoptive mother, traveled through space, and returned to the airship. At this time, the ground in the square was still shaking slightly, and aftershocks continued. The dwarves living in this fortress city seemed particularly panicked.
