Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 175 I have nothing except money

"call--"

The child suddenly opened his eyes. The dark crimson in his eyes gradually faded away. His pupils gradually returned to normal and turned into the natural black color that matched his hair color.

Black hair and black eyes, the children who didn't play with him regarded them as the characteristics of the devil's offspring. But the Augustus who ruled this land also had black hair, but no one said that they were the characteristics of the devil. Instead, they regarded them as an honor.

Ever since he can remember, he has been ridiculed, mocked, and excluded. From his initial anger and confusion, to his later resistance and struggle, to his current habit and indifference, Wayne has matured very quickly.

Although he has no friends and no one is willing to play with him, so what? He still has uncles and aunts, and family members who like and are willing to love him. He is not alone.

The little kid, who was not even three years old, jumped off the bed. Although his growth and life experiences were extremely unsatisfactory, fortunately his material life was pretty good because his uncles and aunts were relatively wealthy, so he had his own independent residence.

"devil!"

Wayne muttered something softly, and then a dark red flame ignited from under his feet, expanding rapidly in a very short time and completely enveloping his small body.

The magic patterns on his body, which originally appeared very faint, began to spread to his entire body and intertwined with each other under the stimulation of this flame. When the magic patterns enveloped his entire body, his body size also increased rapidly.

"what--"

In just a few breaths, the little kid who looked so weak and vulnerable that anyone could bully him turned into a two-meter-tall demon.

Wayne was particularly surprised by the new changes and the real sense of power. He had never thought that the nightmare-like dream that haunted him day after day could give him such power.

When he glimpsed the tall and mighty figure sitting on the mountains in his dream, the temptation from the bottom of his heart urged him to step forward. He had already tested it. Although there were many monsters running rampant in the dream, he was an immortal being in the dream.

Then, faced with the sudden monster, he wanted to keep moving forward and chose to fight. Although he was torn to pieces in the end, he achieved something he had never achieved before - he killed a monster.

It was a big snake. Until now, Wayne can still recall the strangling force when the snake wrapped around his body, which wanted to crush him into minced meat, and the venom splashing on his body, causing him a corrosive and burning pain.

However, even though the venomous snake was terribly strong, he was able to tear it to pieces with the help of the devil's body in his dream. At the moment he killed the venomous snake, he felt some of the snake's power falling on him.

However, he did not expect that when he woke up, this power still existed in his body, but it was much weaker than in the dream. However, even so, when he tried to activate it, his body changed and he turned into a demon.

dong dong!

Just as Wayne was exploring the changes in himself with surprise, a rapid knock on the door came from outside the house, along with a childish but extremely sweet voice.
"Open the door, check the household registration!"

The sudden sound frightened Wayne, who was originally extremely excited but also nervous. His current form was no longer a tiefling, but a real devil.

If he was really discovered, he wouldn't know how to explain it, and in this fright, Wayne was like a deflated ball, shrinking quickly and returning to his original appearance, except that all his clothes were burned.

At this time, the knocking on the door became more and more urgent. Wayne, who was naked, didn't bother to change his clothes. He rushed to the door with his short legs and opened it.

As expected, the person knocking on the door was a little fairy, no bigger than a palm, with transparent wings fluttering in the air. In her hands, she held a flower brush and a parchment scroll that matched her body size.

On her little head, she wore a rather delicate little blue hat, representing her identity as an investigator from the Statistics Bureau.

"Yah~"

Little Wayne was in a hurry to open the door, regardless of anything, but the little goblin who knocked on the door let out a cry of surprise when he saw the little guy behind the door. He immediately covered his eyes with his little hands, but soon secretly opened his fingers and peeked at the little kid who opened the door.

“So small!”

The little goblin covered his eyes in a pretentious manner and murmured softly. Then, when he saw Wayne's darkened face, he quickly asked about the business.
"Where are the adults in your family?"

"Everyone is out and not at home. I am the only one at home now."

Wayne quickly pulled over a towel and wrapped it around his lower body.

"All of them are not at home? That's really troublesome. When will they have time?"

"I'm not sure. Some of my uncles have already gone out of town."

"Okay then, I'll come back next time."

The goblin sighed in disappointment.

"Wait, what do you want to ask? I know everything."

"I'm going to investigate the population of your family, and then each person's race, occupation, assets, and approximate income. If you're a professional, I'll ask more detailed questions."

The little goblin turned around and didn't have much hope for the little brat in front of him.

"I know everything you said, just ask me!"

"You all know?"

"Yes."

“How many people are there in your family?”

"I'm all alone!"

"yourself?"

The elf looked surprised.

"I'm an orphan!"

"An orphan? Then how did you grow up? And you have such a nice house?"

The little goblin was stunned, then stepped back a little and looked up at the three-story villa in front of her. With her current salary, she would have to work for 60 years without eating or drinking to be able to buy one.

Of course, this is under the premise that she earns a salary honestly. If she earns some extra money, it won’t take a few years.

However, this behavior would be very dangerous. Once discovered, the illegal gains would be confiscated and you would be thrown back to the fairyland. You wouldn’t know when you would be able to come out again.

"My uncle and aunt who adopted me are rich, but even though I was adopted, I have an independent household registration, so I am the only one in my family."

Wayne replied in a stern tone.

"How pitiful!"

A trace of sympathy appeared on the little goblin's face at this moment.
"You are so young, and you live in such a big house by yourself. Don't you have a nanny?"

“No one here wants to take care of me.”

Wayne raised his finger and pointed at the small horn on his forehead.

"Because I'm a tiefling."

"Huh? You're still a Tiefling? I thought you were a Dragonborn!"

After being reminded, the little fairy realized belatedly that the little doll in front of her was different. Then she aimed at Wayne and cast a spell at him.

Although Wayne saw the goblin's movements, he did not dodge and let the light fall on him, then making his whole body emit a hazy white light.

Identify Evil
He had to be tested for such spells once or twice a month. This was a test that a tiefling had to endure while living in this city. His uncle and aunt had been tested even more because they were engaged in business.

“This is a necessary process, I hope you can understand!”

Seeing Wayne not dodging and the white light emanating from him, the little goblin explained with an apologetic look on his face.

"I'm used to it." "Then we can start registering. What's your name?"

"Wayne."

"No last name?"

The little goblin raised his head and looked at the child in front of him with some surprise, because generally speaking, only those civilians whose ancestors were slaves would not have a surname. Those with a little background would have a surname, and even if they did not have one, they would make one up.

"I don't have parents."

"How pitiful!"

The little demon was full of sympathy at the moment. However, when the demon registered the property status of the child in front of him, his sympathy was shattered and turned into great surprise and unwillingness.

"How come you have a manor under your name? And two wineries?"

"These are all birthday gifts given to me by my uncles and aunts."

Wayne answered honestly.

"You've mentioned them several times. Who are your uncles and aunts?"

The goblin couldn't bear it any longer.

"They are tieflings, just like me."

"Are all tieflings so rich nowadays?"

“They should be a little special.”

Wayne said uncertainly. He already had a clear understanding of the world. He knew that his uncle and aunt were abnormally wealthy, and their kindness to him was also abnormal.

"What's so special?"

"I don't know. You'll have to ask them."

"I will."

The little fairy nodded heavily, then looked at the child in front of him seriously.

"One last question, are you in need of a butler?"

"what?"

Wayne was a little confused.

"When I left Fairyland, I studied financial management and operations. But after I left Fairyland, I joined the government and became a small registrar. All the knowledge I worked so hard to learn was useless."

The little goblin was full of resentment, and complained indignantly about his dissatisfaction, then looked at the child in front of him with sparkling eyes.
"So, do you want to hire me as your housekeeper? My salary requirement is not high. As long as you hand over your assets to me to manage, and give me one tenth of the net profit you earn, that's enough."

"But I'm a tiefling."

Wayne didn't care about money. He didn't care about any of that. He had never worried about money since he was born. He was just surprised that the fairy in front of him was willing to approach him, even because of the temptation of money.

"So what? You've passed the evil test!"

The little goblin said carelessly.

"But aren't you an official? Is it appropriate to be my housekeeper?"

"What kind of official is this? This is just a coolie running errands. If you are willing to hire me, I will submit my resignation letter now!"

"it is good!"

Wayne, who had nothing but money and felt extremely lonely, didn't think much about it and agreed immediately. As long as he could make friends, even if they were friends for money, he would be willing to do it.

"Great!"

The little goblin didn't expect that her self-recommendation would lead to such a result. She cheered, and then really did as she said, she threw away the work at hand, ran back and resigned.

Unfortunately, as an administrative agency responsible for maintaining the order of the territory, the Statistics Bureau is not a place where little goblins can come and go as they please.

Even though she submitted her resignation letter and it was approved, she was still forced to work for more than half a month, and was only allowed to leave after completing all the work at hand.

From that day on, the helpless Wayne had a goblin butler who took care of him. The tieflings who adopted and took care of him had different attitudes and expressions towards the arrival of the goblin.

"Is this sent by that man?"

"Probably."

"I really didn't expect that man to be so cold on the surface, but in the end..."

"After all, he is his son. Isn't it normal to give him some benefits secretly?"

"what should we do?"

"Everything is still the same as before. We will give him half of the profits we earn outside."

“Isn’t this too much?”

"Idiot, have you not figured it out yet? Why haven't we made any losses since we started doing business? Have you ever thought about the reason?"

"So that's it."

The tieflings were both respectful and fearful of the arrival of the goblins, because everyone living on this land knew what the goblins represented. They not only represented the Holy Dragon, but also the most noble family in the eastern part of the continent.

Of course, only the tieflings who knew part of the inside story and had some guesses would have such fantasies. As for those who had nothing to do with it, they did not react much to the goblin butler, because there were so many goblins.

In the eyes of the ruling class and more nobles, only the dragon fairy can represent the terrible holy dragon and the Augustus family. As for other fairies, big and small, they don’t need to be cared about!
"Did you send this little goblin?"

"No, she went there herself."

Noah denied it.

"I just gave a little support financially!"

"Don't you think it's very dangerous for such a young child to hold such a huge amount of assets?"

Teddel frowned and looked at the information Noah brought over.

"Dangerous? Who do you mean?"

The golden dragon spewed out a wisp of flame,
"I've already told you that he's not bad in talent. Your own son was able to tear apart ferocious beasts with his bare hands at the same age. How bad do you think your grandson will be?"

"What do you mean? Doesn't he have no inherited bloodline?"

Taidel frowned.
"Just contaminated by the devil energy of hell, how strong can it be?"

"I've told you before, if you want to understand the situation, go and see it with your own eyes. Reports and descriptions on paper are useless."

Noah said lazily that his pleasure in recent times was to observe the growth of the little guy.
