Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 17 Genius
The mountains are all red, the forests are dyed red, the sky is blue, and the clouds are white. Noah stands at the gate of the Dragon's Nest and looks around. He sees the sky is high and the clouds are light, the mountains are misty, the autumn is getting deeper, and it is beautiful.

The gurgling streams surrounding the mountain peaks reflect the blue sky and white clouds, with a few fallen leaves occasionally floating in the air. The autumn wind gently caresses the mountains, bringing a hint of coolness, and the air is filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and plants.

The sounds of the elves playing and playing made the golden dragon look at the flower garden again. The autumn's solemnity was blocked outside the flower garden by the magic of the elves, and the flowers and plants here were still flourishing, competing with each other in beauty, and contained abundant and vigorous vitality.

What is even more commendable is that the area of ​​​​the flower garden more than doubled during his sleep, and the elves repaid the golden dragon for his protection in their own way.

"Your Highness Noah!"

When the golden dragon lowered his eyes, the elf Sifrea, whom he appointed as the housekeeper of the flower garden, flapped her butterfly wings and flew over.

As the elf danced, dots of fluorescent dust fell from the sky, looking dreamy and beautiful. As she flew over, the flowers stained by the dust swayed and became more vibrant.

Noah didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the elf in front of him seemed to have grown bigger, but upon closer inspection, there was no change in its size.

"Shivreya, how long did I sleep this time?"

"You have been sleeping for three natural months."

The elf replied.

“That’s quite a long time.”

Noah nodded slightly, not caring too much. Although autumn had arrived, the winter here was not cold. At the coldest time, there would only be a few light snowfalls.

Although golden dragons do not like ice and snow, they can adapt to it. However, it does not snow in this area most of the time, and the climate is generally quite warm, suitable for most creatures to live and reproduce.

"Your Highness, while you were sleeping, a human noble named Taidel often came to look for you."

"Teddel? Have you had contact with him?"

After three months, no matter what the father and son had experienced in the capital, it was time for them to return. Noah was not surprised, but rather felt a little happy because nothing had happened to them.

"Yes, that is a very rude human being."

Sifrea, who was flying in the air, could not hold back and complained to the golden dragon. Her delicate little face was full of anger and she even clenched her fists and waved them in the air.

"Rude? What did he do to you?"

Noah's eyes became sharp in an instant, and an invisible wave spread.

"No, no."

The elf that was originally flying in the air shook lightly, and landed on the pistil of a huge and strange flower, crawling on it, with a slightly trembling voice.

"It's just that he calls himself your brother, which is very arrogant and rude."

"That's it."

Noah immediately relaxed. He thought the boy had done something excessive to these elves.
"Don't worry about him. Humans are just creatures that love to brag, giving themselves many false titles."

"But he doesn't care about nature at all..."

It can be seen that the elf Sifrea was extremely angry and began to list many of Taidel's crimes.

Every time Teddel came, he would trample on many flowers and plants and destroy many elves' houses. In the eyes of the elves, he was like a devil.

"Hahaha!"

Noah couldn't help laughing. According to the elves' description, Teddel could be said to be useless. He did not have any advantages at all. All of them were shortcomings that made the elves particularly disgusted.

However, this is also the reason why creatures with too big a difference in size find it difficult to coexist. The larger creatures will unconsciously destroy everything the smaller creatures have without knowing it.

"Noah, you finally woke up!"

When Noah restrained his dignity, got along harmoniously with the elves in the flower garden, and began to comment on which of the brave elves had woven the more beautiful wreaths, a heroic and unrestrained voice came from outside the flower garden.

"That human is here again!"

"How can we make him understand that he is not welcome here at all?"

"I hate him so much. His Highness Noah almost commented on the wreath I weaved." Amid the elves' choreographed mutterings, Noah looked at the tall boy who was standing still outside the flower bed.

The last time I saw the boy was four months ago. For Long, this period of time was just a few deep sleeps and nothing would change.

But for a short-lived species like humans, especially teenagers in puberty, four months is enough for them to be reborn from the inside out.

Although the boy's face has changed a lot compared to the past, becoming more resolute and more angular, his stature has become taller, half a head taller.

But the most important thing is the change in his temperament, which is completely different from before, as if he has undergone some kind of refinement. The boy's eyes are full of confidence and high spirits, without any restraint or shyness.

"Why don't you come in?"

Looking at the young man in front of him, Noah's eyes showed emotion and a smile.

This guy's clothing was obviously different from when he left. Those inconspicuous metal ornaments and the occasional glimmer on the corners of his clothes could not escape Noah's identification.

"I don't dare to go in. Where did you find these little flower fairies? When you were still asleep, I was scolded by them."

When Teddel heard Noah's invitation, his face darkened and he began to complain to Jinlong.

"You trampled down the house they worked so hard to build, how could they not scold you?"

“I didn’t see it.”

Teddle looked annoyed.

"Come in, I will let them use the footprints you have walked now as a basis to open a path for you."

"That's right. Leave me a way and I will definitely not wander around randomly in the future."

Teddle also saw the little flower fairies in the flower garden who were glaring at him and looking unkind to him, and he immediately smiled, which he thought was a kind smile.

"Humph!"

"Pooh!"

However, no elf gave the boy a good look.

"Hahaha."

Noah watched the scene in front of him and couldn't help laughing out loud again.

In fact, the moment the elf saw the boy and did not dodge or avoid him, it proved the boy's character and good and evil.

To some extent, these little flower fairies have recognized him.

"Noah, it's really not easy to see you now!"

The young man who finally came in front of Noah couldn't help but sigh.

"It's good enough for you to see it once."

When the boy came closer, Noah looked him up and down and sighed.
"You've changed a lot."

"Of course. I am a talented knight who swept through the younger generation of nobles in the capital. You have no idea how many noble ladies and girls sent me love letters and threw handkerchiefs at me."

"I know that the smell on you has betrayed you."

"My smell?"

Teddle was stunned.

"You smell like a lot of young females. Besides humans, there seems to be elves? Halflings too? Why do you smell like Naga?"

Noah sniffed the air and his eyes became strange.
