Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 13 Thunder Spear
"My father has agreed to let me go to the capital with him."

It was hard to tell whether the boy who came to say goodbye had a look of happiness or worry on his face, but Noah could see that the boy was looking forward to this trip to the imperial capital.

"Good thing!"

Noah was encouraging and supportive of the young man's journey.

"Would you like to come with us?"

Teddel suddenly asked a question that Noah was not expecting.

"Don't go."

Noah's answer was quite firm.

"why?"

"My current posture is inappropriate."

"My mother has a scroll of Transfiguration."

"unnecessary."

Noah expressed his resistance. Although golden dragons were a kind of dragon that liked to mingle with humanoid civilizations, he had no intention of going out and wandering around right now.

Any golden dragon has a long lifespan of up to six thousand years, and he is now at the most vulnerable stage of his life. He can wait until he grows older and most of the power in his blood is tapped before going out to travel.

Although he was attracted by the many strange and wonderful sights engraved in the inherited memory, he valued his long life more in comparison.

In Noah's eyes, the Dragon's Nest is the safest place. Before he becomes a teenage dragon, he will never leave the Dragon's Nest unless there is a safer option.

"why?"

"Because I'm too young, you don't have to think about it. Your father won't agree."

"Well, I thought you'd agree."

Seeing Noah's firm attitude, Teddel could only leave with disappointment on his face.

However, three days later, a group of knights appeared outside the Dragon's Nest Garden. Cassius and Tyder, father and son, came to Noah at the same time.
"Noah, I'm going to prepare to leave for the capital. This trip will take about two months."

The boy's face showed reluctance to leave and a bit of sadness.

"Go ahead, and remember to bring me some specialties from the capital."

Noah opened his mouth and yawned, but he didn't feel reluctant. As long as he wanted, he could sleep through two months with his eyes closed and open repeatedly.

"Okay, I went to the river valley again these days and caught some pearls for you. Save them for later. When I come back, I'll go get some clams for you."

The young man agreed immediately, and then took out a large animal skin bag from his waist. As the bag opened, round pearls appeared.

"How many clams did you fish out to pick these out?"

Noah stretched out his dragon claws and picked up a pearl. Looking at the slightly round pearl, his eyes could not help but linger on the boy's body. Pearls of this size can already be used to make jewelry.

"He has been by the river these days. I just called him over."

Cassius spoke, and at the same time glanced at his son with a hidden look, with a bit of disappointment in his son. If he lived with dragons for a long time, he would not gain their recognition with such a humble attitude.

"Hey, I told you I'd bring you a batch of bigger and rounder pearls. I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

Taidel smiled, which Noah thought was a little silly. "Where are the remaining pearls?"

"Don't you think it's not good?"

"I'm not that picky about food."

“It’s all here.”

The boy took out all the hard work he had done in the past few days, but Noah's eyes fell on the boy's belt, which was a storage equipment.

"You finally got this belt from your mom."

"Haha, we're going to the capital after all, so how could you not give it to me?"

Noah looked at the small hill of pearls mixed with clam shell fragments in front of him, and ripples appeared in his dark golden dragon pupils.

"Noah, after we leave, the knights outside will be stationed at the foot of the mountain. Although there are no dangerous creatures around, you can tell them if you have any needs, and they will execute them."

Cassius spoke, and Noah followed his words and looked at the knights outside the flower garden. These knights were wearing black armor, and even their mounts were covered with iron armor. They bowed their heads slightly and paid tribute to him.

Even without looking at their equipment, just by looking at the murderous aura and iron-blooded temperament emanating from these knights, Noah could tell that they were the elite from the Pioneer Knights.

Even if only one person was lost, the lord who seemed to be made of steel would feel distressed for a long time, because the lowest bottom line for joining the Pioneer Knights was high-level silver, and had the potential to break through to shining gold.

"Actually, there's no need to bother. I won't leave the Dragon's Nest."

"in case."

What else could Noah say in response? After chatting with the young man for a while, he watched his adoptive father, the great lord, lead his good-for-nothing son away and set out on the road to the royal capital. Naturally, another group of knights followed them.

Two months really passed very quickly for a dragon in its fledgling stage, even for a dragon like Noah who often resisted his instincts.

Because he was sleeping most of the time. Even when he woke up, he would just swallow a few gems, chew a plate of pearls, or taste the flesh and blood of high-level monsters in the freezer. After eating and drinking, he would read a book for a while. When he had finished reading, he would close his eyes and fall asleep. When he woke up, he would continue reading, and this cycle would repeat over and over again.

"I should be back soon."

Noah calculated the time and muttered quietly.

He had already drafted many policies in his mind and planned to give some advice to his adoptive father.

In the world where he was born, although the extraordinary creatures that stood at the top of the world possessed powers comparable to those of gods, the level of civilization development of many intelligent races was not very good.

"Take a nap!"

The warm sunshine, the suitable temperature, and the breeze with the fragrance of flowers, such an environment can easily induce sleepiness. It must be said that the location of the Dragon's Nest chosen by his parents is quite good.

As Noah fell into a deep sleep, the World Tree that was rooted in the nebula, shining brightly and surrounded by many divine rings, stood before his eyes again.

Noah, who was circling the golden tree, was soon attracted by a root system, because above this stream, a huge wave was being stirred up, and above the waves, he saw a familiar figure.

Cassius Augustus

His adoptive father, this burly man, was now strolling over a magnificent city, his loose black hair dancing in the strong wind under the gloomy sky, and lightning flickered on his black heavy armor engraved with runes.

At this moment, the great lord displayed an aura that Noah had never seen before. It was powerful and sharp, like a divine weapon with its edge revealed. Even the city beneath his feet seemed small, as if it would be shattered under his feet.

The sky was filled with howling winds, and thunder that stretched for a thousand meters exploded beside him. However, as the man stretched out his hand, the shattered and exploding lightning gathered towards his palm, condensed in his hand, and turned into a dazzling lightning spear...
