Chapter 281 The second generation is born, Tyramus
“Ten years is still an underestimate.”

Noah lowered his head to examine the dragon egg in front of him. It was a very standard oval-shaped golden dragon egg with golden scales dotted on the surface of the eggshell. From time to time, red-gold flames burned. The slightly unusual thing was that this dragon egg was a little big.

The dragon egg, which is nearly four meters high, stands on a base made of gems and elemental crystals. Compared with the ordinary golden dragon egg, which is only a little over one meter, it is a super giant alien dragon egg. However, considering the identity of its father, it seems quite normal.

“The incubation time is estimated to be no less than ten years.”

The incubation time for ordinary dragon eggs is about two to three years, but as the offspring of an ancestral dragon, its incubation time is naturally unusual.

However, even though it takes twenty years to hatch, it is still relatively fast compared to its elder brother.

Because it took Elijah twenty-four years from pregnancy to birth, this pure-blooded dragon heir is expected to be born in twenty years, which is considered fast.

But being fast at this time is not a good thing, because it means that this dragon heir is weaker than his brother in terms of innate origin.

Of course, this doesn’t matter too much. Being a little weak by nature doesn’t mean you will always be inferior to others. You can still surpass and catch up.

If we really talk about the starting point, Noah, who was born as an ordinary golden dragon, could not even compare to any of his offspring, and now he is about to become the first generation.

“Twenty years!”

For the short-lived races in Noah’s territory, it is enough for them to grow up from birth, establish their own family, have a good job, and if they move quickly, they will have their own children.

For Noah, who was still young at the time, this was an extremely long time, but for Zudailong, who had already entered adolescence, ten years passed in the blink of an eye, and waiting another ten years did not seem unbearable.

Ten years was nothing for the ancestral dragons, but for the mortals who settled in the special economic zone personally designated by the Holy Dragon, in just ten years, they witnessed the changes of the times with their own eyes.

On a pristine coastline without any trace of civilization, a seaport has expanded from a simple outpost used to determine territorial sovereignty to a port city with extremely prosperous maritime trade.

In just ten years, the number of settlers climbed to as many as half a million, and with the Voyager Coast Port City as the core, it continued to expand and extend to both sides of the coast, building new ports one after another, bringing the light of civilization and order to the east coast.

The most important reason why the East Coast has been able to develop to such an extent in ten years is the temptation of cross-sea ocean trade.

Merchants continuously injected funds into this barren land without any commercial foundation, exploring safe routes to the continent of Alvis.

Of course, there is also the policy temptation of the special economic zones, where businessmen can get lower labor costs and more hardworking workers.

However, due to the long transportation costs and the rising labor costs year by year, the policy inducements of the special administrative regions are only a secondary factor in the prosperity of port cities.

The most important reason is the opening of the route to the Alvis continent, a cross-sea route that can travel between the two continents with low risks, which created the current voyager port.

The current residents of the Voyager Port are basically composed of overseas immigrants, except for the port governor and his subordinate civil servants and guards.

Among these overseas immigrants, believers in the Lord of Light account for the vast majority, but this proportion is declining year by year.

In the beginning, more than 99% of the settlers in the Far Eastern Voyagers’ Port were followers of the Glory. But when cross-sea routes were opened, more refugees from the Alvis continent also fled to this city along with the returning cargo ships.

No, it is not just refugees fleeing from wars, but also dreamers who have heard from businessmen that on the other side of the continent, ordinary people can also work hard to have a better life, so they take the initiative to buy boat tickets and come here.

Today, due to the special zone policy, the average income of the Voyager Port is still not on par with the average income of ordinary civilians in the Holy Dragon Land.

However, the minimum income guaranteed by the rulers here is still very tempting for overseas immigrants. The fact that the minimum monthly income for the lower-class civilians can be written into the law is unimaginable under the rule of the feudal aristocracy.

But in this land, it is not something unbelievable, but rather a very common thing. What surprises new immigrants the most is that people who enjoy such generous treatment are still complaining.

They are not satisfied with their current lives, they want to enter the golden land that is truly ruled and managed by the Holy Dragon, because that is the paradise that is like the kingdom of God on earth.

An able-bodied adult only needs to work eight hours a day to support a family of five with his or her income.

Being supported here does not just mean obtaining the food necessary for survival, but having clothes to wear, a house to live in, and being able to go to a canteen or restaurant every now and then to enjoy a decent life.

Maybe you can’t have meat every meal, but there is nothing wrong with inviting neighbors to hold a decent banquet every weekend or on major holidays.

This is the life that ordinary people can reach out their hands, how can it not be fascinating? Of course, what is even more amazing is that even the lonely elderly with low survival ability and the disabled with impaired working ability can get good care. They may not have a very comfortable life, but as long as they can meet the basic needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation, there will be no problem.

The Land of Gold, the Kingdom of God on Earth

These are the immigrants from the continent of Alvis. They know about the place on the other side, which is rumored to be ruled by a golden holy dragon. Even though they are not humans of the same race, but dragons, many people are willing to give it a try given the positive image of the golden dragon in legends.

As the exchanges between the two continents became more frequent, more and more news about the land ruled by the Golden Holy Dragon was revealed to the Alvis continent.

This also led to more and more immigrants flocking to the ports of voyageurs as the number of merchant ships traveling on this route gradually increased.

Therefore, the prosperity of the seaport has not reached its peak today. On the contrary, there is still a lot of potential that has not been tapped and there is huge room for development.

In the future, the Voyager Port will have the opportunity to develop into a super port city with a population of millions or even tens of millions, and become the most shining pearl on the eastern coast.

The main reason why the port city has been able to develop to this point is the development of shipping routes. The main credit for the successful development of the shipping routes in ten years is not due to the businessmen who spent money, but to the two unknown ocean overlords in the deep sea. They have nipped in the bud countless deep-sea disasters that could threaten the shipping routes, making the sea calm and peaceful.

This was naturally what Noah requested. After recruiting two such powerful and capable men, he naturally had to use them. He was not satisfied with the nominal relationship of monarch and subject and vassal.

However, Noah is not a dragon lord who only knows how to order others to work and is reluctant to pay for benefits. If you want the horse to run without giving it grass, even the most loyal vassal will stab you in the back one day.

Therefore, Noah promised Poseidon and Indominus zeus that 30% of the navigation tax paid by every ocean-going ship that could safely reach the port would be their compensation and reward.

The ancient Tyrannosaurus did not care much about worldly wealth, and had no interest in it, but the Sea Emperor Dragon, who was still a dragon in essence, was different. Although he wanted to be tough, the tax dividends that would be settled regularly every month and gradually increased with the addition of ocean-going ships were really hard for him to resist.

Not all dragons are like Noah, who regards money as dirt. Most dragons, even ancient dragons, are extremely obsessed with worldly things such as gold and silver.

What’s more, the tax dividends that the port pays to the Sea Dragon every month are so much that they can be piled up into a small mountain. As a dragon, Pakirel’s nature does not allow him to refuse.

As a result, the ocean routes explored by merchants became increasingly safe. What many merchants and ignorant believers who believed that they were blessed by the gods did not know was that below the routes, there would be two deep-sea overlords patrolling back and forth alternately to ensure the safety of the routes.

In the eyes of one of the overlords, a portion of the cargo carried on every ship belongs to him, and no dragon can tolerate other creatures infringing on his property.

Ocean trade has caused the Eastern Coast to change with each passing day. New buildings are erected every day, new seaports are built every month, and all ports expand outward every year, giving the city a completely different appearance compared to the previous year.

Compared with such drastic changes on the eastern coast, the lives of civilians in the area ruled by Noah seemed much more stable. The prosperity and glory continued, and there had not been any drastic changes in the past ten years.

If it must be mentioned, it is that the judicial system filled with many holy warriors and their followers has brought unprecedented stability and harmony to the order of the Holy Dragon Land.

The holy knights who have obtained the power of law enforcement use the Golden Dragon Code, which is revised every year, to contribute to the peace and justice of this land, creating an ideal and dreamland that even they themselves find unbelievable.

This is the golden age created by the Holy Dragon. Many people firmly believe that such a wonderful era will continue with the nearly immortal Holy Dragon. Not to mention ten years, even after a hundred years or even a thousand years, the glory will remain and the holiness will be eternal.

From the perspective of the short-lived species’ time perception, the Holy Dragon is like the sun in the sky that never sets. It was the same ten years ago, and ten years later, nothing has changed.

However, for dragons, although ten years is short, it is enough time for changes to take place, for example, the arrival of a new little creature.

The baby dragon holds a broken eggshell on its little head and peeks into the strange world with curious eyes.

Compared with his brother, the way this dragon baby was born was much more subtle and restrained. When Elijah was born, the dragon egg exploded directly.

But this dragon heir only used his head to break the eggshell, and the dragon egg remained generally intact without even a single crack.

“As a male dragon, why is he so quiet and reserved?”

Noah lowered his head and looked into the eyes of his offspring, who had broken out of his shell in a very elegant manner.

He just thought that his second offspring was a daughter, but after feeling it carefully, he found that it was a little male dragon.

“Yes, that’s good.”

Noah comforted himself in this way. After all, he already had a lively enough son, and it would be nice to have a quieter one, although a daughter would be better.

“Teramus Noa Helios La Beatrice.”

Under the gaze of the ancestor dragon, the young dragon, which also had only two pairs of four dragon horns on its forehead, revealed its real name.

This is a young golden dragon with exceptionally shiny scales. Except for the fact that it has one less pair of horns on its head, the rest of it is basically the same as Noah. Of course, its body proportions are still a little out of balance, but this is also because it is a young dragon and its body has not grown.

“Dad~”

Seeing the golden dragon in front of him lowering its head, which was so big that it could swallow him whole in one gulp, the little dragon hatching just now called out its real name timidly, appearing extremely graceful, and Noah could even hear a bit of shyness in it.

However, this cannot be blamed on him. When Elijah was born, there were only Noah and his adoptive mother Selina and Gwen.

When this second son was born, not only Noah was present, but also his mother and a group of maternal relatives.

That’s right, most of the old dragons called by Ophelia settled in Noah’s territory. The atmosphere of this land is indeed very attractive to these old guys.

After learning that the dragon eggs laid by their descendants and the ancestor dragon had been successfully hatched, this group of old golden dragons all ran over.

“Mom~”

Due to blood relationship, Teramus naturally looked at Agnes, whose eyes were filled with joy and pride.

However, the adult female dragon only responded once before being pushed aside.

“My dear grandson, come and see your grandfather!”

“……grandfather.”

“I am your great-grandfather. Do you remember me? I have left a lot of knowledge in my heritage.”

However, the young dragon, who was surrounded by people as soon as he was born, had to go hungry and was forced to recognize many elders one by one. According to his inheritance and cognition, this was the etiquette that must be followed as a golden dragon.

“That’s enough. He is just a newly born dragon. He needs to eat now.”

Finally, Agnes, who had been persuaded several times but failed to save her child, exploded.

She couldn’t bear to see her son being teased by the dragons. Although for a dragon, being hungry was nothing, this was a newborn baby and every dragon knew how hungry he was.

Click!Click!
The sound of chewing was heard. Tyramus, who had been hungry for a long time and had not even been able to chew his own eggshells, finally ate the feast that his mother had carefully prepared for him.
