Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

"You lead the knights to station in the wilderness, and often command the knights into wild lands with no traces of civilization. In the areas you can set foot on, are there many dragon-shaped beasts, earth dragon species, flying dragon species, and creatures with dragon veins?"

Noah asked.

"There aren't many, but you can still see some occasionally."

"It's fine if you have them. Without having to pay casualties, just catch some and bring them over to me. It's best to have them in pairs so they can be bred."

"What do you want to do?"

"Cultivate dependents."

Noah stretched out his dragon claw and fiddled with the red dragon egg in front of him. Small sparks appeared between the dragon's fingers, causing the egg shell to reflect a faint metallic luster.

"Creating dependents?"

Tedder looked thoughtful, with a hint of confusion and hesitation on his face.

"What's your expression? It's okay to feel embarrassed."

The golden dragon spits out fierce flames from its mouth and nose,

"It's just for your convenience that I let you help. If you don't want to, I will ask the cloud giants to capture the dragon beasts for me. They are only stronger than your knights."

"Noah, you misunderstood Tedder. It's not that he is unwilling, but that he happens to have a pair of fire dragons on his hands."

Edith chuckled and started to defend her husband.

"Fire dragon?"

Noah narrowed his eyes and looked at the sneering young man.

"They were captured during the crusade against the red dragon, right?"

The fire dragon is a sub-dragon that lives in volcanic areas. Its scales are similar in color to the red dragon, both are red, so it is often mistaken for the red dragon. However, the fire dragon is much smaller than the adult red dragon, and does not have the strong forelimbs of the red dragon.

This type of dragon has a strong sense of territory, is not weak in intelligence, and can also speak dragon language. Although they have a bad temper, they are very aware of current affairs. They will basically only attack creatures weaker than themselves. When facing stronger dragons, they will They will choose to surrender and offer the collected treasures.

For the fire dragon, the best object of submission is naturally the high-ranking red dragon. Even though the red dragon, the leader of the color dragons, is violent and greedy and stingy, the fire dragon still flocks to it.

Therefore, in the territory of adult red dragons, you can also see fire dragons serving them, usually one, and occasionally a pair.

"Yes, I originally planned to tame them and use them as mounts."

The young man gritted his teeth, with a look of reluctance on his face.

"Since you need them, I'll have these pair of fire dragons delivered to you when I get back."

"You want to change your mount? You think the flying dragon is not worthy of your status."

Noah naturally knew what Tedder was thinking. His wife, Itis, was riding a dragon colt. In comparison, the flying dragon was a large dragon beast and was completely outclassed. How could the young man be willing to do so?

"Are you still hiding this little thought? Have you successfully tamed those fire dragons?"

"not yet."

Tedder shook his head.

Although the fire dragon is only a sub-dragon, and its personality is bully and afraid of the strong, it does not mean that it is willing to bow to humans, even the humans who have defeated them.

In the eyes of dragons, humans are an inferior species, so why would they be willing to become human mounts for them to ride on?

"Then send it over. After a few months, you can come over and try riding it."

Even though he hasn't even seen the face of the fire dragon yet, Noah dares to guarantee it.

It's just a sub-dragon. Since he is willing to be a slave to the red dragon, how dare he make a mistake in front of the golden dragon?

"Are you willing to help me tame the fire dragon?!"

The young man was surprised and happy.

"It's such a small thing, why not? But when you get a new mount, in exchange, you have to help me capture more dragon creatures."

"no problem."

Tedder agreed immediately, thus satisfying the golden dragon.

The couple, who came back rarely, waited for their daughter to wake up naturally from her sleep.

However, the two people who wanted to get close to their daughter soon found out that their daughter was not close to them. Instead, she was more dependent on Noah.

Even when he woke up, he was only willing to play around the golden dragon, and showed resistance and impatience towards their hugs and kisses.

"It's normal for Gwen to have resistance. You are too unfamiliar to her and usually have nothing to do. I suggest you come and see her more often. After all, she is your daughter. She only comes here once every three months, which is outrageous."

Noah met the couple's gaze and made pertinent suggestions.

"Don't make excuses in front of me. How to find time is something you should think about. Let me remind you that Gwen is about to start talking."

"I see!"

As soon as these words came out, both the couple looked thoughtful. Not to mention Tadel, even Edith, who had a relatively cold expression, showed a very obvious change in mood.

In the next period of time, the couple really ran to the Duke's Mansion every now and then. They indeed accepted Noah's suggestion and tried every means to find time to visit their daughter whenever they had free time.

Especially half-elf Edith, the flying speed of dragon colt is faster and more agile. As a result, Tedder, who realized that he was lagging behind in visiting his daughter, asked his mother for help and established a semi-permanent single teleportation array at his Knights' headquarters.

Of course, the guy paid for the teleportation array himself. Unfortunately, the teleportation array was established less than three days ago, and Edith followed suit.

As a result, the two of them appeared in the Duke's mansion almost every day, and Gwendolyn's attitude towards her parents also changed. At least she no longer resisted or resented them when they hugged and made love.

However, even so, it did not change the third generation of August's close attitude towards the golden dragon, and his biological parents were ranked behind.

"Dragon, daddy!"

In the seventh month after Gwendolyn was born, the pink-tinted little girl started babbling and said the first correct name in her life.

This not only shocked Tedder, who was hugging his daughter, but also silenced the half-elf Edith beside her. Serena, who happened to be passing by, heard this call and burst into laughter, bursting with joy.

"You two don't have to worry about it. You didn't care about your daughter after she was born. You just wanted to slay the dragon. Now let little Noah take the lead and suffer the consequences."

While Serena was taunting, she also did not forget to snatch her granddaughter away from her son's arms.

"Come on, let me give you a hug."

"elder sister!"

The sweet voice of the little baby girl sounded along with the female mage's teasing, and Serena smiled even happier.

On the other hand, Tedder, who was originally silent, showed a devastated expression.

"Mother, what did you ask Gwen to call you?"

His daughter called Noah Dragon Dad. Although it made him panic, there was nothing to say. After all, Jin Long had been raising children for the longest time. The title of Dragon Dad was reasonable and unreasonable, but his mother What kind of fun are you doing?

"Sister, didn't you hear? Come on, little Gwen, shout again."

Serena glanced at her son with disdain, and then guided him again.

"elder sister!"

Little Gwen's milky voice this time was more coherent and smooth, and her enunciation was clearer.

"Why!"

Serena responded loudly on purpose.

"Gwen calls you sister, so what should she call me? And what should I call you?"

The expression on Tadel's face became even more broken.

"Everyone calls his own, it doesn't matter."

Serena said nonchalantly, then she lowered her head and rubbed her granddaughter in her arms with her delicate face that was no less beautiful than a baby.

"Isn't that right, little Gwen?"

"But this is too messy."

Tedder couldn't accept it.

"Little Gwen is willing to shout, and I am willing to listen. What does it have to do with your stupid head?"

The mage could no longer stand the noise of his son, and showed an impatient expression. With a wave of his hand, he threw the tall young man onto the teleportation array and stuffed him in without any explanation.

"Go back to your station and stay with those stinky canned knights!"

"Edith, do you think we look like three sisters standing together?"

The mage, who was still angry, turned his attention to his daughter-in-law.

"picture."

The half-elf's answer was concise and capable.

"Hahaha, you still have vision."

The female mage was immediately made happy again, her smile was as bright as a flower, and her eyes were as bright as the crescent moon.

Noah, who was almost twenty meters in length, stood aside as a backdrop, looking incomprehensible.

"What? Little Noah, do you have any different opinions?"

When his adoptive mother cast her eyes over, Noah spoke without hesitation,

"No, I just think that if you go out with Edith, uninformed people might think you are Edith's sister."

"Tsk, little Noah can still talk."

The female mage was obviously extremely satisfied with this answer. Elise glanced at Noah, then lowered her head.

"If only Tedder, this stupid guy, was half as smart as you."

"Tedel has his own character. If in times of crisis, he can be relied upon."

"Just him? Ha."

Hearing Noah's comment, Serena laughed out loud,

"As long as his father and I are alive, there will be no danger that he needs to stand up to block."

Noah didn't know how to respond, and he looked at the half-elf beside him in silence.

"It's better to count on that careless guy than to count on my little Gwen, right?"

The girl-like mage teased her granddaughter, and anyone could see the affection in her eyes.

"I almost forgot, I'm going to look at the dragon eggs."

Noah found an opportunity to escape. Thanks to the couple coming back from time to time, little Gwen was now able to leave him for a short time. Unlike before, she would start crying when she was far away.

Serena waved her hand indifferently, and the golden dragon successfully left the Duke's Palace and headed for the Eldis Mountains, which was his fiefdom and the area where his cloud giants lived and stationed.

Now it is also a place where dragon beasts are collected, cultivated and trained. Of course, the number of dragon beasts collected so far is not large. The most valuable ones are the pair of fire dragons that Tedder sent over not long ago.

Compared with the red dragon, the appearance of the fire dragon is indeed very similar except for the lack of a pair of forelimbs. However, not to mention the body shape, it is far worse than the red dragon in terms of personality.

"How's the situation with the dragon eggs?"

The long golden dragon stretched its wings, broke through the clouds, fell from the sky, and landed on the mountains. Under the majestic atmosphere permeated by nature, two fire dragons emerged from the cave full of sulfur atmosphere one after another, looking up at the noble and noble people. The elegant golden dragon quickly lowered its head and prostrated on the ground. It was flattering and humble, without any hint of unruliness or violence, and was extremely docile.

"The dragon eggs are in good condition and can hatch in no more than two years."

The male fire dragon quickly replied in dragon language.

"Well, have you thought about the things we asked you to discuss last time now?"

"Your Highness, although I think humans are not qualified to control us, since it is your order, I am willing to become that human's mount."

Although the male fire dragon was unwilling, it still chose to surrender in front of the majesty of the golden dragon. It would never forget the scene of seeing the golden dragon for the first time.

This golden dragon did not say anything to them. He treated them as meat targets. He first used magic and then personally tortured it and its partner from beginning to end.

Finally, the giant dragged them to the mountain and fed them some scraps of meat every day, letting them fend for themselves. When they recovered, he came to ask if they were willing to surrender and obey his orders.

This was more tyrannical than the red dragon. The fire dragon never thought that the rumored leader of the good dragon would use such a brutal method to subdue them. Of course, what was even more unexpected was that the golden dragon was willing to accept them.

"As long as you are willing."

Hearing this answer, Noah nodded with satisfaction, confirming that the many methods he used when he first met were correct.

Violence is right, power is truth

For the dragons of the color dragon family, this is a code of conduct. The more violent they are, the more they will bow their heads and submit.

Despite this, Noah was not very satisfied. After all, these guys surrendered too easily. After just a few beatings, they bowed to him. There was no challenge, and no sense of accomplishment.

In contrast, Noah wanted to try to tame the red dragon. He thought that the red dragon that was born with inheritance could bring him more fun.

"I wonder where my aunt hid the pair of red dragons?"

Noah muttered. But it was just a mutter. He was not qualified to train an adult red dragon now. This was not something he could deal with now. He could only wait until the dragon eggs hatched and train the young dragons for fun.

After wandering around his own fiefdom, Noah went to the original site of the Dragon's Nest, where there were thousands of golems active, and many of them were driven by big goblins to carry out more detailed magic engineering.

"You've worked so hard!"

"Work hard, and I'll let my foster mother give you bonuses at the end of the year."

After Noah went to the construction site to visit and inspect, he returned to the Duke's Mansion and continued his leisurely daily routine of taking care of the baby and reading books.

But Gwendolyn, who also did not inherit the Titan bloodline, but only inherited some meager elf blood from her mother, grew up as fast as the short-lived species.

Crawling, walking, talking, everything was so smooth and natural, and earlier and faster than children of the same age

So, on the day when Gwendolyn just turned one year old, her nightmare came.
