Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.
Chapter 127 Gemological Society, Dragon Society Head
Chapter 127 Gemological Society, Dragon Society Head
“This matter will never be resolved unless a group of important people with sufficient status and position die.”
Noah saw the dragons gradually moving away in the sky and made a conclusion.
He had already foreseen a bloody storm. For a metal dragon that liked to maintain a humanoid state for a long time, revealing its true form basically meant that it had entered a state of extreme anger.
Even if the culprit who caused the death of the silver dragon Rafar was a believer in gods from other worlds, to be able to achieve such precise sniping and hunting, there must be cooperation from local creatures, and these are the ones that the dragon group needs to settle accounts with.
Perhaps those believers in the gods have been lurking for a long time and obtained the relevant intelligence in a local way, but no matter how the intelligence is provided, the corresponding people and the forces and organizations behind them will need to pay a price for it.
This is true even if the people behind these forces are unaware. Although it sounds innocent, isn’t the Silver Dragon Rafar innocent?
Someone must be held responsible for Rafar’s death, someone with enough status and position to appease the dragons’ anger. It is also a bloody lesson, announcing to the world the price to be paid for hunting metal dragons.
“But it has nothing to do with me anymore.”
Although he knew that a group of innocent unlucky people would suffer, Noah was happy to see it happen, because it would once again increase the deterrent power of the metal dragon clan and improve the value of the golden dragon’s identity.
The memory of the short-lived species is relatively short. Even if an event has been recorded in books, they can only experience the fear of their ancestors when it is replayed in front of them again.
“I just need to wait for news.”
Noah is optimistic about the final outcome of this incident. Although only one ancient silver dragon showed up, it does not mean that only one ancient dragon is paying attention.
Even if a bad situation arises and causes the situation to escalate further, it can be completely resolved with the foundation of the Metal Dragon Clan.
If the situation requires, more ancient metal dragons will surely appear, and maybe even a dragon god will appear, but this possibility is not high.
For Noah now, he only needs to focus on one thing, which is to deal with the sudden increase in the number of his fellow dragons in the territory.
They were not just the children entrusted to him by the bronze dragon couple. To Noah, the three bronze dragons in their adolescence could not be called children at all. In a sense, they could be considered dragons of the same age.
But that’s just what he said. They are just of equal age. If we really talk about their actual age, Noah is one level older than these three teenage bronze dragons, whose bodies are not as big as him even if they are stacked together.
“Uncle Noah!”
There were three bronze dragons, eight to nine meters long, with golden scales but a slightly bluish hue. They had four legs and two wings, a very typical dragon form, strong and majestic, yet with a bit of ferocious beauty.
However, metal dragons generally do not display this extremely oppressive form in front of humanoid races, but instead interact with other civilized races in a more friendly manner.
“You guys… forget it!”
Noah wanted to ask the three little ones to call him brother, but then he thought again that Isabella, whom he had already raised, called him uncle, while their father called him His Highness.
So Noah stopped worrying about the trivial matter of the name and placed the three bronze dragons in a mountain lake in his territory.
It was a large lake with abundant water plants, abundant fish and shrimps, and birds often flying across it. There was no problem in supplying the food needs of the three young dragons’ growth, and all the threatening monsters in the lake had been cleared out.
To be frank, this lake alone is enough to be the territory of an adult bronze dragon, but Noah would not be so generous.
He took care of these three young dragons, on the one hand because they all belonged to the metal dragon clan, and on the other hand because their parents gave them enough money, and if they wanted to become his lord, they had to make enough contributions to him and have achievements.
In fact, if one were really ruthless and let them run free, three bronze dragons together would be enough to survive in most parts of the world.
When a chromatic dragon reaches this age, it will be thrown out of the dragon nest. No matter how responsible the mother dragon is, she will not continue to raise it, and it will be left to fend for itself.
However, when a chromatic dragon reaches this age, its chance of survival increases greatly, because almost all wild beasts and most ferocious species can hardly pose a threat to them, and they can switch between offense and defense.
“Your Highness Noah, Lady Serena has ordered that you handle this matter personally.”
Noah had just settled the three bronze dragons when his chief goblin came over and handed him a document containing information related to dragons.
“I see.”
Jin Long glanced through it casually and understood everything, because this was what he was going to deal with next.
Because the news of the death of the silver dragon Rafar spread, some metal dragons who were not directly notified but also knew the news also rushed over.
After the ancient dragons came, a considerable number of young dragons, such as adolescent dragons who had just left the nest, and young dragons with the strongest curiosity and desire to explore, were treated the same way as Noah and were left behind.
There are quite a lot of young dragons in this group, but because this event is too special, the ancient dragon did not bring them along.
After these guys were rejected, a small number of them went back to where they came from, but the vast majority of them were scattered across the territory of the Augustus family.
You know, it is almost impossible for dragons of these two age groups to have their own territory. On the one hand, they can’t get it, and on the other hand, they don’t want to settle down early.
These young dragons who are in a state of wandering go wherever there is something to do and run to wherever there is fun. To put it bluntly, they are the street urchins among the dragons, wandering around wherever they go. With the prosperity of the Augustus family today, it is natural that they are very attractive to metal dragons.
Therefore, many dragons stayed in the territory of the Augustus family, hiding their identities and integrating into the lives of all walks of life.
If it were an ordinary small or medium-sized noble, even if they knew about this kind of thing, they would turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it. However, for the Augustus family, it is difficult for them to ignore these metal dragons.
Even if these guys have no ill intentions, they can still cause considerable chaos based on their nature alone, especially the brass dragon and the copper dragon, which are two types of metal dragons that are hard to trust.
Because, Serena asked Noah, who was also a metal dragon, to handle this matter. It was not to expel these dragons, but to have a good talk with them to ensure that they would not disrupt the order in the territory.
“Let’s set up relevant departments and institutions!”
This was the suggestion Noah made to his adoptive mother after he took the initiative to talk to all the dragons staying in the territory of the Augustus family.
There are currently fifty-eight young dragons staying in the territory of the Augustus family. The number of gold and silver dragons is quite rare, while the three bronze dragons of blue, red and yellow make up the majority.
Most young dragons are just curious. Although they stay, they won’t stay for too long. Once they get bored and lose the novelty, they will naturally leave and travel to other places. However, some dragons have expressed their intention to settle down. Although this is a short-term settlement, it is a short-term settlement in the dragon’s cognition, which is different from the short-term impression of humans. The short-term settlement in the dragon’s view may be half a mortal’s life.
These dragons will all leave in the future, but the gathering of so many dragons will inevitably form a herd effect, and other dragons will definitely come to replenish the number.
Even if only a portion of them choose to settle down, it can be predicted that the number of dragons in this land will not decrease in the future. Moreover, the metal dragons have a tradition of regular gatherings.
“What kind of department? What kind of responsibilities does such an organization need to fulfill? Supervise the movements of all metallic dragons on the land?”
Serena asked back.
“No, I can’t supervise. No dragon likes being watched.”
Noah shook his head, rejecting his adoptive mother’s question, and also rejecting half of his previous proposal.
“We cannot set up a formal official department. We should gather all the dragons together in a relatively relaxed and free society and association, and influence them in a subtle way.”
“Since you have already thought about it, why are you looking for me? Just go ahead and do it. If you need a place, I will grant it to you. As for the funds, you can find it yourself.”
“…”
Noah came to his adoptive mother, of course, to shirk responsibility. He didn’t want to work, but now it seems that he can no longer shirk responsibility. If a dragon society with young dragons as members is really established, then he is the only one in the entire territory who can do this. No one else is qualified.
Gemological Society
This is the name of the association that Noah came up with after thinking about it all night.
Since it is an unofficial organization, it does not have any compulsory nature and must have freedom without any constraints. It wants to absorb all the metal dragons in the territory and allow these guys to attend gatherings regularly without being absent. Therefore, the content of the gatherings held by the association must accurately meet the preferences of all dragons.
Appreciate gemstones and learn about them
Noah didn’t believe that there would be a dragon that would refuse such a gathering, because if he put himself in their shoes, even he would not refuse and would definitely go over to take a look.
Thus, a dragon club with a relaxed and free atmosphere and no constraints or requirements on its members was established. After Noah personally went out to lobby, he captured all the young dragons in the territory without much effort.
Just as Noah had expected, no dragon would refuse the gems, even if it was just to appreciate them.
The first meeting of the Gemological Society was successfully held under the chairmanship of Noah in a manor outside the city of Elishim, and all the newly joined members were present.
As the youngest young dragon present, Noah, by virtue of his status as the initiator, was naturally the first to display his collection, and then he defeated all the young dragons present without any suspense, and naturally became the head of the newly established academy.
There are very interesting unspoken rules within the dragon clan. When the power gap between the two sides is not too big, the one with more wealth will naturally have a higher status.
With the largest number and highest quality gems, Noah became the head of the Gemological Society, and all the dragons present had no objection.
Although these dragons all understood why Noah had gone to so much trouble to organize the academy, none of them were disgusted by it. The other party was displaying his collection, which was quite generous of the dragon clan.
“Your Excellency, please wait a moment.”
Noah was satisfied with having successfully held a dragon gathering and was about to leave, but at this moment, a tall beauty stopped him. The familiar smell of incense revealed her identity.
Golden Dragon
His fellow
“Miss Agnes, what’s the matter?”
Noah recalled the identity of the golden dragon in front of him. He was one of the few three golden dragons in the Gemological Society. She was a female adolescent dragon who had just left the nest not long ago.
“I would like to ask, what are the requirements to become a full member of the Gemological Society? Do you have to be a metal dragon?”
The girl, who had an elegant temperament, a tall figure, and graceful manners, blinked her eyes and spoke in a gentle but polite tone.
“As long as they are from the Dragon Clan, it will be fine. There are no hard and fast requirements.”
Noah looked at the girl in front of him who had the temperament of a great noble and answered.
Judging from the other person’s actions and demeanor, he might have been raised in a noble family like him, and some of the habits formed from that upbringing have almost been ingrained in his bones.
“So that means that Gem Dragon can also be used?”
The girl’s voice was somewhat joyful and she seemed very happy.
“Gem Dragon? Of course, if Gem Dragon can join, then the name of the Gemological Society will be more appropriate.”
Noah wasn’t surprised why the gold dragon had a gem dragon as a friend.
If possible, he would like to get to know more gem dragon friends. He is willing to consider choosing a gem dragon as a partner in the future.
Because the scales of the Gem Dragons are indeed the most beautiful among all dragons, just like the purpose of him establishing the Gemological Society. Which dragon would refuse gems?
“that would be great.”
Agnes smiled a brilliant and contagious smile.
It is worth mentioning that the woman transformed by the golden dragon did not look like the high elf preferred by the gold and silver dragons, but an ordinary human.
Of course, its facial features are still flawless, but without the iconic pointed ears of the elves, it has a completely different style, and Noah likes it very much.
“What if it is a creature other than the dragon clan? Can it join in?”
“If you have the courage to attend our gathering and can produce gems that are appreciated and recognized by most dragons, then of course you can.”
Noah replied that if someone could really do this, even if he was not a dragon, he must be a guy with extraordinary achievements and worthy of attention.
“Not even a dragon clan can do it?”
“After all, my original intention of establishing the society is for everyone to appreciate gems and share related knowledge!”
“Mr. Shenglong, your purpose is really pure.”
