Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

"How is it? Are the pearls I caught pretty good?"

Noah looked at the young man in front of him, who was dripping with water all over his body and had a proud smile on his face. He looked down at the pearls that covered the front garden. Each pearl was round and smooth, enough to be used to make jewelry.

"That's all?"

The sunrise glow gilded the young man with a layer of gold, making his backlit figure look particularly tall. But Youlong only felt that the man in front of him had a kind of naivety of his youth. Even after two years of experience, he had not faded away. This guy probably soaked in water all night.

"You probably don't even weigh 300 kilograms. You don't even meet one-tenth of my requirements."

"Ah?!"

The man who wanted to hear some praise was stunned. Each of these pearls scattered on the ground was picked out by him personally. If he really wanted to make up the number, the hard work of yesterday night would be enough to meet the standard.

"You can rest for a while now, but when you have rested enough, go back to the water."

Noah has now become a vicious supervisor who madly exploits slaves. No, slaves in the city of Elishim are not so miserable now.

Because they will not work at night, they can also freely arrange their working hours within a reasonable range according to their own situation during the day. Every labor will be converted into work points and recorded in the account. When the points meet the standard, they will be free.

It is precisely because of this that the slaves in the city of Elishim and the surrounding areas are very motivated to work. They do not need to be supervised, let alone supervisors whipping them. It is enough to arrange people to confirm their labor results.

"By the way, you can send pearls in batches, but the quality of the pearls you send each time cannot be lower than this time. Don't use those pearls of poor quality to deal with me."

"Noah, why are you becoming more and more picky? These are the pearls I carefully selected. It's okay if you just say wow!"

The young man who originally thought that he could get the admiration and praise of the golden dragon was disappointed. He sat on the ground with no noble image at all, muttering and complaining.

"You have been promoted, haven't you? I still treat you with the previous requirements. This is contempt for you."

"When did you value me? You don't even want to call me brother, even calling me brother is fine!"

Teddle lay on his back on the ground, letting the pearls he had worked so hard to fish roll around him.

At this moment, he was completely different from the down-and-out young man who could get drunk by drinking mead yesterday. He seemed to have forgotten the sadness and depression of losing his adventurer partner, and recovered to be the son of the border noble who could play with the golden dragon.

"You can close your eyes and have a good sleep now. Everything in your dream can come true."

Noah was not surprised at the young man's big change in just one day.

Men are such creatures. Even if they have experienced setbacks and pains that they have never encountered before, after hysterical venting and pouring out, they can pretend that nothing has happened the next day and greet the rising sun again.

This is not letting go, really not caring, but just burying it deep in the heart and not wanting to show it to others. After all, how can a man show such a weak attitude?

Noah does not know how to comfort people. As a golden dragon, he does not need to think about how to comfort a short-lived species who has experienced setbacks in his growth.

However, the young dragon knows that as long as a person is exhausted like a dog, he does not even have the strength to stand up and can only lie on the ground, he will not have the spirit to think about random thoughts.

"Okay, I'll lie here and take a nap now. You'll be responsible if I don't dream."

"Go to the valley to fish for pearls when you wake up."

The golden dragon ordered the legendary son, his brother in name, without any psychological burden, and the young man who had experienced separation in life was willing to do so, spending a lot of time in the valley every day.

But as a shining gold, Taidel, according to reason, even if he carefully selected the pearls he fished out every time, he still repeated this activity until half a month later, even though the pearls he sent to Noah had already exceeded 3,000 kilograms.

There was a tacit understanding between the man and the dragon, and no one stopped. As a vested interest, Noah was happy to do so, while Taidel, as a laborer, needed it.

This activity continued until the city of Elishim at the foot of the mountain became lively. As the only heir to the duke's throne, Taidel's coming-of-age ceremony was about to begin.

Because of the new legend Cassius, the coming-of-age ceremony of a young noble gradually evolved into a grand ceremony that had never been seen on this land.

This was the first time a legend had invited the outside world after his promotion.

In addition to Augustus's family vassal, that is, the border nobles who were originally in the southeast of the kingdom, who came to congratulate, all the noble forces in the United Kingdom of Erestoria sent envoys.

Outside the kingdom, many forces also sent envoys. They mainly came to visit the newly promoted legends, because the birth of a legend would mostly break the original order of the area and bring huge impact to the surrounding areas.

"Do you still have time to go to the valley now?"

Noah was a little surprised to see Taidel bringing him a large number of pearls again.

To be honest, he really ate pearls all he could during this period, but he didn't get tired of them. Pearls are too much in line with the taste of the golden dragon.

"Why don't you have time?"

The young man lay lazily on the rattan bed woven by the goblins for him, lazily looking at the increasingly crowded city down the mountain, and asked indifferently.

"There are so many nobles here, and they are all here to observe your coming-of-age ceremony. As the protagonist, why don't you go to meet and entertain them?"

"Come on, Noah, do you really think those nobles at the foot of the mountain are here for me?"

Tedder's thinking has undergone a great change, not only because he goes to the river valley to fish for pearls every day, but also because of the adventurer friends he once made.

Most of the companions he recognized chose to stay and continue to follow him after learning his identity. During this time, these people have gradually adapted to their new identities.

As a result, an insurmountable barrier was created. The gap in strength could still be caught up through hard work. The background of the legendary noble was useless even if he tried his best.

The former fraternal partners have now become groveling and unknowingly flattering subordinates. This makes it difficult for the young man to maintain his original mentality.

"At least some of them are for you, such as the nobles who brought beautiful daughters or nieces."

Noah teased with a narrow smile.

"You're here again."

The young man showed helplessness.

"Um?"

The golden dragon was suddenly startled and looked down the mountain. The dark golden dragon pupils shrank slightly, then slowly spread, and the whole dragon became relaxed again.
