Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.
Chapter 280: Forging the Dragon of Stars
Chapter 280: Forging the Dragon of Stars
“This child is good. He will definitely be the most promising offspring in our family.”
“Rest well and don’t worry. We will solve any problems for you.”
When Noah stepped into the bedroom where Agnes was pregnant, the voices of comfort and solace suddenly stopped, and pairs of shining dragon eyes like molten gold looked at him in unison.
However, when the golden dragon that walked into Agnes’s bedroom in its original form confronted the eleven golden dragons that transformed into human forms, its momentum was not weaker at all, but even stronger.
Because his size is so huge, a golden dragon with a body length of one hundred meters, when in close contact, even if it is just walking, the majesty of the ancestors that comes to the face makes the same kind hold their breath.
“So this is what the ancestral golden dragon looks like. It looks…”
When Noah looked at the middle-aged man who sighed, the man, who looked dignified yet elegant, stopped talking abruptly, as if he had choked on his food.
“Noah, this is my father, Axel Fitzgerald.”
Sensing that something was not right in the atmosphere, Agnes came out and took the initiative to introduce the identity of the golden dragon present to Noah.
“Uncle Axel!”
Noah glanced at his golden dragon partner who seemed a little nervous and uneasy, then looked at the middle-aged man with an embarrassed expression, and called out a relatively safe name.
Hearing Noah’s call, Agnes, who maintained the demeanor of a human lady, breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression became much more relaxed and natural.
“Hello, Mr. Zudaelun!”
Hearing the name Noah called out to him, the middle-aged man responded hurriedly, but this flustered and inappropriate response made a noble and elegant lady next to him kick him.
“This is my mother, Griffith Beatrice.”
“Aunt Griffith.”
“Ok!”
Facing Noah’s polite greeting, the elegant lady who seemed to have walked out of the ancient imperial court remained reserved and responded lightly.
“This is my grandfather…”
“……grandmother……”
……
“…This is my great-great-grandfather…”
Agnes introduced her family members to Noah one by one, until finally,
“This is Noah, my partner and the father of my child, a golden dragon who has successfully returned to his ancestral home.”
“An ancestral golden dragon, it has lived for 1,300 years, but this is the first time I’ve seen one. It’s really rare, and it’s really different from ordinary golden dragons like us.”
An old scholar with a white beard hanging down to his chest walked slowly towards Noah, looked left and right with an extremely curious look.
“More than just different, this is a completely different species of dragon from us. Apart from the golden scales, what else is the same?”
Another old man with a big head that was bright enough to be used as a light bulb also walked to Noah’s side and touched Noah’s dragon wings without any hesitation, with an amazed look on his face.
“What beautiful dragon wings! Can my little grandson inherit your wings?”
“Probably.”
Noah looked down at the group of ancient dragons that came in front of him. They were a group of ancestral dragons. It was already a great achievement for an ordinary golden dragon to be able to summon one or two of them.
The lovely Gness summoned six ancient dragons at once. She probably called all the dragons that the whole family could summon, and the whole clan descended.
As for the reason, Noah could guess it. It was simply that Ophelia, who came on the Ark, put too much pressure on Agnes.
Noah naturally felt that it was unnecessary. It wouldn’t cost much to call his biological parents to support him, but it would be impossible for him not to contribute something if he called his ancestors for more than three generations.
Although there is kinship between generations among the dragon clan, and warmth can be maintained between one or two generations, if there is a gap of three or five generations, there is no kinship at all. At most, it is just friendship among the same clan. The racial instinct to maintain blood inheritance is stronger.
“Maybe? You can’t guarantee it?”
“What can I promise? The dragon egg hasn’t even taken shape yet.”
Noah was a little amused.
What level of dragon must be able to preset the form of his offspring? It must be the Dragon King.
“That’s right, the dragon egg hasn’t even taken shape yet, it’s too early to talk about this.”
“Little Zulong, may I ask you a question out of curiosity? Which emperor has favored you?”
“To be honest, I don’t know either.”
Seeing the group of ancient dragons surrounding him, asking questions like curious babies, with their hands and feet busy and touching him, Noah couldn’t help but feel helpless, but he didn’t dodge at all.
Because the aesthetic taste of these ancient dragons is at least ten thousand times stronger than that of his father. They can appreciate the beauty of his dragon wings, and will praise every part of his body structure that is completely different from that of a golden dragon.
There is no doubt that these are a group of noble elders worthy of respect. Although he did not know them before, these dragons are now Noah’s elders.
“You don’t know? How could you not know this? Then how did you become an ancestral dragon?”
“Of course, it depends on my own efforts and struggles!”
Noah said this with a matter-of-fact look on his face.
“You little Zulong…”
“Hahaha!”
The six ancient dragons looked at each other, some were speechless, while others were laughing loudly, unrestrained and carefree.
Because in their perception, the dragon in front of them was telling the truth, but how was this possible?
How could one become an ancestor dragon without the favor of those immortal beings? Without their favour and support, no matter how talented one is or how hard one struggles, it would be impossible to complete the final leap.
These ordinary little dragons may not know this, but the ancient dragons that have already survived the millennium limit know very well that atavistic dragons are not uncommon to them.
The number of dragons is small, but if based on thousands of planes, the number is not small. Even if there is only one genius who embarks on the road of returning to his ancestors among hundreds of thousands of dragons, when accumulated over endless years, that is not a small number.
But there are only a limited number of true ancestor dragons, and no ancestor dragon is born because of so-called talent and hard work, which is not a requirement for becoming an ancestor dragon.
From this, it can be concluded that the ancestor dragon in front of them was not telling the truth, but was deceiving them, and they could not sense the truth or falsehood of its words, which means that the strength or status of the dragon in front of them was above theirs.
But it’s normal, after all, it’s the ancestor. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the dragon believes that what he said is true.
In his cognition, he became an ancestral dragon through his own efforts and struggles, without relying on any external forces. He did not think he was lying. This was also the limitation of the polygraph. As long as the psychological quality was good or the will was extremely strong, and he firmly believed that what he had done was true, then even if it did not happen in fact, it would be considered as the truth rather than a lie.
“Since you rely on your own efforts, do you have any skills to teach?”
The old dragon with a smooth and shiny head followed Noah’s words and asked with a smile, his words full of teasing and mockery.
“What skills are needed to work hard? It’s nothing more than restraining your desires and forcing yourself to keep learning and improving.”
Noah said forcefully.
What he said was absolutely true. Although he was over 130 years old, as long as he was not in a dormant period and was in a state of clear consciousness, he maintained his activities in a short-lived lifestyle.
“Restrain your desires? Take the initiative to learn. This is indeed the right way to embark on the path of returning to our ancestors.”
Several old dragons couldn’t help but nod their heads. Being able to suppress desires, fully control oneself, and become a dragon that goes against the dragon’s instincts is indeed one of the major characteristics of an atavistic dragon.
However, the manifestations are somewhat varied. Some dragons will do things that are completely contrary to the nature of their own race. A red dragon may do good and become a protector, or a good dragon may fall and become a dragon of destruction.
“Come to think of it, isn’t this a Francophilia?”
Gu Long, who looked like an old scholar, stroked his beard and asked suddenly.
“I pursue knowledge, but it is not limited to spells. I like any book that can improve cognition, broaden horizons, and enhance skills.”
Noah corrected him, saying that studying magic as a hobby was too narrow-minded in his opinion.
“Boy, isn’t that more terrifying than sylphilia?”
“That’s why I can become an ancestral dragon.”
“Stop talking nonsense, little Zulong, let’s be serious. Which majesty has favored you?”
Noah could see that these old dragons wanted to know his background very much, and wanted to know which immortal being stood behind him, but the problem was,
“I also hope to gain the favor of the Dragon God, but no Dragon God favors me.”
“If there is no Dragon God, then it must be the Dragon King.”
The bald guy stared at the third pair of dragon horns on Noah’s head, which had not yet fully grown, and nodded thoughtfully.
“If I must say, I did dream of some very powerful golden dragons, one of which was hovering above the stars, but I’m not sure if it was the Dragon King.”
Seeing these old dragons who were not giving up, Noah had to tell them about the many golden dragon ancestors he had seen when he transformed into an ancestral dragon.
“Can you tell me more about this?”
The old dragons became visibly excited, because this was consistent with their understanding and knowledge of the ancestral dragons. How could a dragon transform without the help of immortals?
“They are dragons like me, completely different from the modern golden dragons…”
Noah described the nine ancestral dragons he had seen in those days. This was not a secret that needed to be hidden. Instead, it was an opportunity to inquire about the origins of these ancestral dragons, especially the dragon king that coiled above the stars.
These old dragons are knowledgeable and must have mastered some secret knowledge that is not included in the dragon clan’s heritage.
“I’ve never heard of it!”
“So this is the ancestral dragon~”
Although Noah accurately described the characteristics of the ancestral dragons he had seen, it was obvious that these dragons did not know most of them. Only one or two old dragons looked thoughtful.
However, when Noah described the image of the Dragon King, the old dragons, who had originally frowned and looked deep in thought, became excited.
“Isn’t this the one?”
The bald big boiled egg was like a young dragon, shaking an elder beside him excitedly. Then, his boiled egg was hit hard by the old dragon who was obviously older than him.
“Be steady!”
“This is the Dragon King who has disappeared for a long time. I didn’t expect him to appear again now.”
“Which Dragon King is this?”
Noah asked humbly. Originally, he didn’t recognize any of the nine ancestral dragons he had just drawn, so he had given up hope. Unexpectedly, he got a surprise in the end.
“The Dragon King who possesses the power of creation and once forged the galaxy!”
Some ancient dragons answered Noah, but when Noah asked further, these old dragons all looked regretful, and then told Noah very frankly that they only knew the name of this ancient dragon king, and they didn’t know much about his life and deeds.
Because this Dragon King is too old and has not appeared for a long time, many ancient dragons believe that his majesty may have fallen.
However, Noah’s existence today is enough to prove that his majesty has not only not fallen, but is even better than before. The current dragon clan cannot see his majesty, perhaps because most of them are no longer worthy of his majesty’s attention.
“Star-Forging Dragon King?”
Noah nodded thoughtfully. Although he only knew his name and some insignificant deeds, he had a preliminary understanding of this Dragon King.
Judging from the reactions of these ancient dragons, even among the dragon kings, the status of this Star-Forging Dragon King is extraordinary. Being able to receive the attention of this dragon king is a blessing for both him and the dragon clan.
It was from this time on that the ancient dragons stopped pestering Noah and instead began a heated discussion about the nine ancestral dragons that Noah had just described. They pulled out all kinds of books out of thin air and tried to find any traces of these ancestral dragons in the ancient books.
“How much savings do you have now?”
Noah looked at the group of old dragons who had turned the chamber where Agnes lay pregnant into a large library, then looked at the mother dragon who had a strange expression on her face, and asked quietly.
“I didn’t pay any money, I just told them the news of my pregnancy and they all came over.”
Agnes explained in a low voice.
“Feel sorry!”
Noah stared at Agnes for a long while, until the dragoness looked uneasy again, then he whispered.
“what?”
Agnes suspected that she had heard wrongly.
“As your partner, I failed to give you enough sense of security when you were pregnant. This was indeed my fault and I ignored your feelings.”
Noah could understand Agnes’s actions. Even the beasts in the wilderness, who had little wisdom, would do their best to eliminate all dangers during pregnancy.
“I will arrange for the All-Powerful Dragon Guards to guard your palace, but you will have to move to another palace to live in now.”
Noah looked at the ancient dragons who were already arguing and the atmosphere was getting increasingly heated, and at the mother dragon who was already stunned.
