Chapter 126 Do I look like a good candidate for taking care of a baby?
Noah believed that Silver Dragon would dress up in such a coquettish manner. This kind of coquettish look, which could seduce aristocratic girls with his looks, clothing and unique playboy temperament, was exactly what Silver Dragon liked.

What Jin Long couldn’t believe was that he couldn’t detect the scent of his own kind from this showy bard. From his perspective, this guy looked like a human being no matter how he looked at him.

“If this sad incident hadn’t happened, meeting an outstanding golden dragon cub like you would have been a real joy to me. It’s worth making up a song for me.”

Noah’s gaze drew the response and attention of the Ancient Silver Dragon. The bard, who looked extremely coquettish, gave Noah a gentle smile like a spring breeze.

But facing such a smile, Noah turned his eyes away and did not confront the ancient dragon. Because this smile had an extraordinary effect that could affect the mind. Although it had no malice, it was not good at all.

Any female humanoid, under this smile, would more or less develop some favorable impression towards this showy ancient dragon.

“I am a young dragon, not a fledgling.”

Although he refused to confront the ancient dragon, Noah still defended his identity.

Logically speaking, given his age, he should be a teenage dragon, but unfortunately, his third transformation is still a bit far off, and Noah still has no signs of falling asleep, so there’s no telling how long his teenage years will last.

“To me, there’s no difference.”

The ancient dragon’s words naturally left Noah speechless. This ancient dragon might have lived for nearly a thousand years. At such an old age, it made no difference to him whether it was a young dragon or a young adult dragon.

The arrival of the ancient silver dragon immediately gave the many metal dragons gathered in Noah’s territory a backbone.

Dragons are arrogant creatures, and metallic dragons are the most prominent among them. Even when there is a clear disparity in power, it is difficult for a weaker dragon to obey the orders of a stronger dragon.

This is not to mention the situation where the strength is equal. Therefore, although there are many dragons gathered in Noah’s previous territory, in Noah’s view, it is just a mess.

Even the oldest dragons could not get a say. This situation did not change until the arrival of the ancient silver dragon Naberius. The dragons began to truly gather and unite into one.

However, this situation is only temporary. That is to say, the current situation is special, and the ancient silver dragon can command other metal dragons by relying on its strength and qualifications. Once this incident is over, many dragon groups will disperse like wind and clouds and return to their respective places. They will no longer pay attention to the ancient dragon’s orders unless they are paid.

Money and treasures are of great significance to dragons, and even ancient dragons cannot ignore them.

The reason for saying this is that after the ancient silver dragon arrived, the first thing the person presiding over the meeting did was to distribute the silver dragon Rafar’s inheritance.

This is a very serious matter, but the dragon group is not coveting the property of a mere adult silver dragon, because any one of the metal dragons that are qualified to attend the meeting has accumulated more wealth than the silver dragon Rafar.

People who do not understand metal dragons but have stereotypes about dragons would think that metal dragons are petty and calculative when it comes to revenge for their own kind, then metal dragons would definitely not be as prosperous as they are today, let alone have such deterrent power.

Because even if all the property of the silver dragon Rafar was emptied, it could only afford the appearance fees of three or five old dragons, not to mention the descending ancient dragons.

In fact, when avenging their dead, metallic dragons do not charge any reward. It is a voluntary and free-of-charge principle.

Therefore, the inheritance of the Silver Dragon Rafar was not distributed to the dragons present, but to his widow and only daughter, who were the first heirs to the property.

“Golden Dragon Noah should get a corresponding portion of this property. Before Rafar entrusted his wife and daughter to Noah, he did not pay any medical expenses for them. This is because Rafar did not expect that he would die in this unfair battle…”

Noah, who was qualified to attend the meeting because he provided the meeting venue, did not expect Gu Long to bring the topic to him at the beginning.

Facing the gazes of many old dragons, Noah subconsciously wanted to be humble.
“It was just to remove the curse. It didn’t take me much time. You should leave the money to Rafar’s wife and daughter.”

“But I heard that you invited your adoptive mother, the powerful legendary lady, to help. Can this also be ignored?”

An old dragon came out.

“Young dragon, don’t refuse anymore. This is the reward you deserve. It is also the basic principle that has allowed our Metal Dragon Clan to maintain its existence to this day. Everyone must follow it.

Even Rafar would be satisfied with this distribution, and as a father, I don’t want my son to die with an unpaid debt and the reputation of a debtor who doesn’t pay it back.”

“Are you Rafar’s father? How rude!”

When Noah saw this plain-looking old man, he was shocked. He really didn’t know that this old dragon could be so patient. He even strolled around his territory and seemed to have talked to him for a few words without revealing his identity.

“It is I who was disrespectful. During this period of time, I have been feeling extremely guilty and remorseful. As a father, I am not sure that I can avenge my son. I can only invite Lord Naberius.”

The old silver dragon shook his head slightly, a look of pain on his face.

Losing a child in old age is a very sad thing not only for humans, but also for dragons. Unlike the colorful dragons that scatter seeds everywhere, metallic dragons are very cautious and restrained about childbirth.

Generally speaking, dragons gain the ability to reproduce during their adolescence, and dragons that are not particular about color will mate and lay eggs at this age.

However, the Metal Dragon Clan is extremely restrained in this regard. Even at the earliest, they have to wait until adolescence. The more sophisticated ones have to become young dragons before they begin to look for mates and hatch and raise their cubs.

It is not uncommon for metallic dragons to wait until adulthood to start looking for mates and raising cubs. After reaching adulthood, when they become old dragons, metallic dragons basically lose their fertility, or more accurately, they can no longer give birth.

Because gold and silver dragons at this age have the opportunity to try to break through to the legendary level, and the difficulty of a legendary dragon laying eggs, although not completely impossible, is also ridiculously high.

Therefore, a metallic dragon couple with a strong desire to reproduce and a very harmonious married life may only lay five clutches of dragon eggs over hundreds of years, or as few as three clutches.

There are many metallic dragons that only hatch one nest of dragon eggs. Some metallic dragons with lofty ideals and ambitions simply complete their tasks in this regard.

However, even when completing a mission, the metal dragon will strictly follow the raising requirements and raise its cubs very responsibly, and will basically not just ignore them after giving birth.

Therefore, metallic dragons have very strong feelings for their offspring. When they suddenly learn that their offspring have died abnormally, revenge for their children is inevitable.

“This is going to ruin the family!”

Noah looked at the old dragon’s grief-stricken expression and murmured quietly in his heart. The reward for inviting an ancient dragon to attack a specific target on the battlefield is different from the price of asking the ancient dragon to track down the culprit of the incident and avenge him.

However, in such matters, Gu Yinlong may not necessarily charge any reward, or even if he does, it would be mostly symbolic.

Since Rafar’s biological father had expressed his opinion, Noah naturally had no reason to refuse. After sorting out Rafar’s debts and making sure that he had no debts, Gu Long distributed the remaining property.

Rafar’s wife and daughter each received half, and his daughter had the priority to choose the magic equipment.

“Thank you all for gathering here to avenge my husband, but I don’t think I am qualified to inherit this property, so I voluntarily give it up and request that this part of the property be donated to Lord Noah.”

Just when the ancient dragon had just made a resolution and many old dragons had no objection to it, Cynthia, the Silver Moon Elf who was also attending the meeting, expressed a different opinion. Her speech immediately made the dragons look at her sideways again.

“why me?”

Noah, who became the focus of the meeting again, was completely confused, because he did not remember having any communication with the elf. Except for a brief contact when he informed her of her husband’s death, he had never tried to comfort her since then.

“I will follow the dragon group to track down the culprit who killed my husband. I want to witness the death of my enemy with my own eyes. If I am still alive after this incident, I will return to the Silver Forest.

My daughter Isabella cannot live with me, so I would like to entrust you with this part of my husband’s inheritance. Please take care of my child until she grows up and becomes truly independent.”

“?”

Noah felt a little sad. He felt that the lady seemed to have some misunderstanding about him. Did he look like a person who was very suitable for taking care of children?

To say the least, even though he looked very suitable to be a nanny, the problem was that if we really talked about age, the half-dragon was definitely older than him, and he himself was still just a child.

“Noah, is there any inconvenience? You can ask.”

Gu Long spoke.

“No, I actually like this child very much. I have no problem taking care of her and raising her up.”

Although he was grumbling in his heart, Noah did not show it on his face. Instead, he agreed immediately.

After all, she is half dragon, which is naturally quite good compared to mortals, but she is not very popular with both her father’s and mother’s families.

The paternal silver dragon is fine. If it is really entrusted to other dragons, there will definitely be a silver dragon willing to take it over, but it is hard to say what the growth environment will be like.

As for the maternal Silver Moon Elf, it would be fine if the biological mother was willing to take the child with her, but it would be really inappropriate for the mother to return to the kingdom of the elves.

This is not a stereotype. Many high elves believe that their own bloodline is supreme and reject all non-elf creatures. What they hate most are half-elves who have elven blood but impure bloodline.

Even for a half-elf like Isabella who has silver dragon bloodline, it would be the same if she didn’t have some growth shadow if she returned to the territory of the Silver Moon Elves with her mother.

The first agenda of the Revenge Council was thus decided. Noah obtained most of the property of the Silver Dragon Rafar, and as a guardian, he also took over the remaining small portion of the property.

None of the old dragons raised any objection to this, because if they took a closer look, they would find that this young golden dragon, who didn’t know how long it would take for him to reach adulthood, had wealth that had already crushed the adult dragons, and many old dragons could only look up to him.

Under this premise, if he gets most of the adult dragon’s property and entrusts a small part to safekeeping, witnessed by the ancient dragon and many old dragons, there will definitely not be any problem.

Who makes this little guy so rich? If so, there is no way he would damage his reputation and credibility for such a small amount of money.

Noah participated in the Silver Dragon’s revenge meeting throughout, but he was just an observer because when the actual action came, he was left behind.

Not only was Noah left behind, many young dragons and teenage dragons who came forward on their own initiative were all sent back and were not allowed to participate in this operation. If they wanted to join, they had to be at least adult dragons.

“Noah, we witnessed the fall of Rafael with our own eyes. We were powerless at that time. Now it is led by His Excellency the Ancient Dragon Naberius himself, so we must participate in this operation.”

The bronze dragon couple, who spread the news and helped to bring about this war of revenge, approached Noah.

“But there will definitely be casualties in this war, and I’m worried that something might happen to my husband and me, so we want to temporarily entrust our child to you.

If we can come back, you only need to take care of them for a while. If we don’t come back, you just need to protect them and help them go through a long sleep so that they can become adolescent dragons.”

“Do you have any misunderstanding about me?”

After leaving the meeting, Noah wanted to ask the bronze dragon couple what kind of perception they had of him after hearing such a commission.
“Do I look like a good babysitter?”

But in this case, Noah could only think about it in his mind.

A bronze dragon who is ready to die in order to avenge his friend.

It was difficult for Noah to refuse their request. Besides, the other party offered corresponding rewards. His territory didn’t mind having another litter of bronze dragon cubs and could fully afford to raise them.

“I sincerely hope that you can return safely. Children who grow up with their parents are the happiest.”

Noah said sincerely.

“We hope so too.”

Led by the ancient dragon, the dragons rose up to the sky in a mighty manner. The ancient silver dragon Naberius, who descended in human form, also showed his majestic and magnificent body of an ancient dragon. When the dragon wings shining with silver light spread out, all living things in the mountains prostrated themselves under the majesty of the ancient dragon.
