Chapter 131 The Girl Returning Home to Visit Relatives

“Noah, you are really the most hateful bastard I have ever seen in my life. Why did you put something like this in front of me?”

Teddel was silent for a long time, and finally he let out a long sigh under Noah’s gaze, but it was not a good sigh.

“What? You don’t want it?”

Noah was a little surprised.

“I know that I am mediocre and my father is a mountain that I will never be able to overcome in my lifetime, but I still have the dream to try to pursue something that is almost impossible to achieve.”

The young man looked at the crystal in front of him, which was surrounded by golden lightning and had a faint figure sitting cross-legged. He moved his eyes with great difficulty.

“Accepting this power is equivalent to completely denying myself. I will never be able to surpass my father in this lifetime.

Maybe you want to laugh at my wishful thinking, but this is my persistence, and I also have my own pride.

So, I choose to refuse! ”

Noah looked at the young man for a long time, as if he wanted to get to know him again, but the next moment, the golden dragon lashed out with its tail.
“What are you whining about? When did I look down on you? I told you that I am only giving you a choice because I am watching you awaken your bloodline. I am not forcing you. If you don’t want it, then don’t. Who are you showing off to?”

“Who told you to tempt me with this kind of thing?”

Facing the golden dragon’s tail attack, the newly promoted ultimate warrior raised his hand to block it, but still retreated more than ten meters. However, he did not blush or breathe heavily, and seemed to be able to do it with ease.

“What temptation? This is the foundation of your Augustus family. I just keep it with you. You should have known this.”

Jin Long said dissatisfiedly.

He admitted that the Titan Blood Crystal containing his adoptive father’s legendary power was a unique treasure in the world, but he could not use this treasure, let alone exchange it. This thing was a pure burden to him.

“Let me try it first. If I really can’t reach Legendary status on my own, then you can put it in front of me again.”

“Okay, anyway, we still have my aunt in the family, so it’s no big deal.”

Noah naturally didn’t care. Even if Teddel was pushed to the level of legend, it wouldn’t make much of a difference to the current Augustus family.

The Augustus family is still in the recovery stage. Even if they have spare strength, they can only focus on internal affairs and not external ones.

Because there is too much existing land, it is better to manage the territory well than to occupy land that cannot be actually controlled.

Not to mention the Aldis Mountains occupied by Noah, the original land of the Augustus family alone is more than three times the territory of the Golden Dragon, because the Augustus family has completely opened up the Valley of Fire.

This grand canyon leading to the Underdark and the surrounding land are no longer an enclave for the Augustus family, but have become a unique and iconic landform on the border of their territory.

These lands are nothing. What is really important is the Victor Plains that the royal family allocated to Selina because she was promoted to a legend.

This is one of the three major grain-producing areas in the kingdom. The grain it produces is enough to supply nearly half of the country’s population. It is fertile and rich. This is not a wild frontier land where monsters are rampant, but a vast plain that has been cultivated by humans for hundreds of years.

The royal family ceded this plain to the Augustus family. To say that it was a bloody disaster was not enough to describe it, it was basically a serious injury, but it had to be done.

The wealth possessed by the royal family with two legends is several times more than that of the Augustus family, which is even more powerful than the openly legendary ones. This is clearly a way to invite chaos and bring disaster.

“But you have to understand one thing. The current peace is only temporary, so you still have the confidence to be willful. Once a crisis occurs, you can only accept this power. You have no right to refuse.”

Noah was able to foresee the turbulent future. In fact, peace is extremely rare and precious at any time and in any place. War and unrest are the main themes of a place where all things prosper.

“I know.”

Teddel nodded.
“I will take on the responsibilities that I should bear.”

“That’s good. Continue to expand the territory for me. This is what you should do for me.”

Jin Long demanded confidently.

The Teddel couple and the two knightly orders they commanded were the main force that brought the Aldis Mountains under his control. Although the Cloud Giant Legion was good, its number was too small and it also had garrison duties.

The so-called control is not only about taking it down. In addition to eradicating all the creatures that do not obey orders, one must also send one’s own forces to be stationed there and regularly harvest and collect the resources there.

“Okay, I’ll go and expand the territory for Lord Noah!”

“Well, that’s right. Once you conquer all the mountain areas, this great lord will reward you handsomely!”

The man and the dragon laughed and played. Noah lifted the space field and Tidel returned to the mountains.

Endless battles, endless bloodshed, competition, hunting, counterattacks, death, rebirth and rise, the mountains are displaying all of these all the time.

Although Noah wanted to make his voice the only one in the mountains, he could not change the most fundamental rules for the time being.

“The fruit is ripening!”

On the shining golden treetops, what attracts the golden dragon’s attention the most is naturally the scarlet blood-source fruit. The feedback from conquering thousands of miles of mountains and rivers has made this fruit grow extremely plump, and the scent it exudes is particularly sweet.

As for the purple spirit fruit that was obviously smaller, Noah didn’t have much expectations, but compared to the dark fruit on one side that made a large area of ​​branches and leaves dim, it was much better.

“It should be over!”

Because this was a war led and launched by him, Noah could see the entire picture of the war through the golden tree. He could also see the gradually complete shadow of the Aldis Mountains in the roots of the golden tree.

In fact, the war lasted much shorter than Noah expected, because Noah estimated that it would take five to seven years to flatten the Aldis Mountains.

But the war has only lasted a little over three years, but it is almost over.

Because reality is not a game. No matter how cruel and brutal a monster is, it has a brain. Even a wild beast has the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid danger.

When the cloud giants under Noah’s command slaughtered the monster clans and refused to accept the surrender of humanoid monsters, the only choice for any monster in the mountains who got the news to survive was to migrate and escape.

Therefore, when the Golden Dragon conquered almost half of the Eldis Mountains, he went to look at the other half and found that most of the monsters that could escape had fled. Except for some small monster tribes that were so weak that they couldn’t even communicate with the outside world, there was no decent monster clan left. So, although Noah was bossing Teddel around, there was actually nothing that this guy could do. The most he could do was to clear out some low-level monsters in the mountains that were endless to kill and eliminate.
But even apprentice knights and knight squires can do these things, and there is no need for official knights to take to the field. That would be a waste of combat power.

High-end combat forces should be sent to the borders with other noble lords to resolve unnecessary disputes and troubles.

Noah’s current territory actually has a lot of minor troubles, because the Aldis Mountains belong to the kingdom, so there are many noble lords, big and small, on the edge of the mountains.

Although most of these lords have been relocated, the vassals and industries they left behind after managing for so many years can easily lead to disputes.

It is not so easy to eliminate the remnants of aristocratic power, but Noah will not get entangled with those nobles and will directly solve the problem in the simplest and most brutal way.

Is he going to engage in intrigue and power struggle with a bunch of petty nobles? Isn’t this a joke?

Although this would ruin his reputation among the lower nobles in the kingdom, who cared?

They were originally a group with no common interests. Even if Noah had encroached on their original interests, so what? Even if they complained, they only dared to hide in the dark and secretly plot against the Dragon Clan.

Now, even among the legends, few dare to speak loudly to the metal dragons.

A group of old dragons led by the ancient dragon, in the central and western regions of the Zealandia continent, once again demonstrated the unity and iron blood of the metal dragon clan with the destruction of several principalities and the lives of many legends.

This was not an event recorded in history books, but something that had just happened. Although to the nobles of the kingdom, it was something that happened in a very faraway place, these dragons had set out from the kingdom.

To be more precise, they set out from the Aldis Mountains, which is a veritable gathering place for dragons. Even now, people often see giant dragons flying into the mountains.

“What a pity! He escaped so quickly!”

Noah’s eyes swept across the roots of the golden tree with some regret. He had witnessed the green dragon’s escape from there, but he could only watch and could not intervene.

In such a vast area of ​​the Eldis Mountains, even rare twisted monsters like the hydra can be found in groups. Of course, there are also some chromatic dragons, whose number is more than ten times that of metallic dragons.

However, among the colorful dragons, even the red dragon, which has the most violent and unruly temperament, is very good at running away before it really grows up, because those who are not good at it will die.

There are no red dragons in the lush mountains, but there are adult green dragons lurking among them, and there are also many baby dragons.

However, Noah’s forces had just discovered her when the green dragon realized that the situation was not right and ran away with a group of dragon cubs.

When Noah saw this scene through the golden tree, he regretted it for a long time. Even now, Noah still feels a little sorry.

Noah was influenced by something and had a broader mind than his fellow metal dragons. Even if it was a colorful dragon, he wouldn’t mind accepting it as long as it was obedient.

For example, his dragon cub Baal and his sister Aurora are both promising talents, but considering their racial characteristics, blue dragons and green dragons should be more sensible.

“There should be another chance in the future.”

Noah could only comfort himself in this way.

“Dad Dragon!”

Time passed quietly, and when little Gwen appeared in front of him again, Noah suddenly realized that his eldest daughter had been in the Star Tower for two years.

“came back.”

Little Gwen was not alone on her return trip. In addition to the two little sisters she met at the Starlight Tower, she was followed by more than a dozen diligent followers. From the disgusted and resentful mood of little Gwen, Noah, who had already experienced dragons, understood it clearly.

“No one you like?”

Noah quipped.

“What’s there for me to see in a bunch of losers who waste their precious time following women?”

Facing the golden dragon, the seemingly mature little Gwen gave a ruthless evaluation, even though her friends from the Mage City were right beside her.

“Each one of them was so childish and ridiculous, and their purpose was very obvious, they didn’t even try to hide it. Some of those guys were attracted by my beauty, and most of them wanted to get close to my family.”

“I see.”

Noah, who had always disliked those followers, suddenly felt better for some reason and breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s a rare trip back home, so let me entertain you. It just so happens that I have made a lot of friends and will hold a party in the next few days. You and your friends can come and join us.”

“Dad Long’s friend?”

The girl, who was almost an adult and had fully grown up, blinked her big eyes. She was confused and curious. Although Father Long looked very kind, she knew that was just an appearance.

The golden dragon is a very proud creature, and generally speaking, the only thing a golden dragon can regard as a friend is a dragon!

Just as the girl guessed, her dragon father’s so-called friends were actually a group of dragons.

Dragon gathering!

After realizing this, the magic geniuses from the Holy Land of Mages suddenly became uneasy at the gathering place. They became restrained in every move and seemed extremely uncomfortable.

Although any one of them, even without a distinguished background, has outstanding qualifications that are one in a million, these talents and identities that they can be proud of among ordinary people seem so ridiculous and without any confidence in front of the dragon clan.

The only one who was a little relaxed was Gwendolen. Having been raised by a golden dragon since she was a child, she was able to ignore the dragon power that was inadvertently released by those men and women with perfect looks and elegant manners when they walked around at the party.

Gwendolyn, who stood out among her companions and was able to communicate with dragons in human form very naturally, was standing next to Noah.

Although the girl looked quite reserved on the surface, in fact, her slightly raised chin could reveal her mood. At this moment, she was as proud as a little peacock spreading its tail, and she was extremely pleased with herself.

It was not just because she showed her unique identity in front of her classmates in the Starlight Tower, but more importantly, she found that the father Long she always mentioned in front of her companions was even better than she boasted.

In this gathering place full of dragons, Noah still has the final say. Everyone can see that the young man with dragon wings on his back holds an important leadership position among the dragon clan.
