Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 20: Promotion
"Noah, you dragons are natural-born masters of appraisal!"

After hearing the results of Noah's appraisal, Taidel was amazed and gave a detailed introduction.

"This crystal pot is called the Pot of Hadek, and the white milk inside is also known as the Warrior's Redemption. It can produce 10 drops per day. If the external magic power is sufficient, it can produce up to 30 drops per day."

"This little warrior's divine suit was also given to you by someone else?"

Noah tossed the crystal pot in his hand and couldn't help but marvel at it. This thing was too valuable. Not to mention using it by one person, if it was used on the battlefield, as long as the timing was right, it would be enough to change the direction of a small battle.

"Of course it was given as a gift. Even if I sold all my possessions, I still couldn't afford the gemstone set on it."

Taidel also knew the value of this crystal pot.

"Who gave it to you?"

"The granddaughter of a duke."

"Tsk, you dare to accept this?"

"Why wouldn't I dare accept it? This crystal pot is indeed valuable, but that's all. Although a warrior's redemption is precious, it has no effect on a powerful person like my father."

Taidel also knew why he was able to receive a treasure of this level. It was not given to him, but was used to please his father. It had no effect on his father, but it was very suitable for him.

"Please keep this crystal pot. It will be of great use to you. As for these magic ornaments, if you are not interested, I will take them away."

Noah would not refuse the treasures placed in front of him. Although the Golden Dragon has a high moral bottom line, he does not have the slightest moral cleanliness, especially when it comes to gold, silver and treasures, he has always been very clear about it.

Although some of these magic accessories were given to the guy in front of him by noble ladies as a token of love, Noah had no psychological burden in collecting them.

This idiot offered it to him and he didn't ask for it, so why shouldn't he accept it?
"Take them all. It's a waste to keep them with me. I don't need so much."

Teddel said indifferently that most of the accessories he sent were necklaces, rings, bracelets, etc. inlaid with gemstones, which he did not like.

Although his concepts and perceptions had changed a lot because of this trip to the royal capital, he hoped that the gifts he would receive would be rune heavy armor and a broadsword and spear that could be used to fight against large monsters.

"You should keep in touch with the Duke's granddaughter who gave you the crystal pot. If possible, marry her. You are so generous on your first try. Once you win her over, you should get a lot of treasures as a dowry. By then, this territory may even develop because of her."

Noah played with many magic treasures. Although the ornamental value of these treasures was greater than their practical value, just looking at them made him happy, which made him unable to help but give some advice.

After the formation of the aristocratic title system, there was a set of default unspoken rules, which was that for beings at the legendary level, at least the title of duke or above must be conferred.

A legend is a being who has the ability to build a country on his own.

Of course, this does not mean that every duke is a legend, but that a legendary existence must have the status of a duke or even more noble.

A duke can also be a direct descendant of a legend, or a direct disciple. In short, nobles who have reached this level will be more or less related to legends.

This can be said to be the minimum requirement. Otherwise, how can one be qualified to be among them? To control vast lands and resources, a true noble must have sufficient power to support himself.

"You don't have to worry about that. She is also one of the girls I want to marry."

When Teddel heard Noah's words, he said something that made the Golden Dragon look at him sideways.

"However, if we want to make this land rich and prosperous, it is far from enough to rely solely on the resources brought by marrying noble ladies."

"So what else do you think you need?"

Noah asked casually.

"A powerful force that can bring stability and peace to this land, a reasonable taxation system that can attract merchants, and scarce resources..."

"Is this what you think?"

Jin Long interrupted and asked.

"I heard the conversation between my mother and my father."

The young man chuckled and immediately let out the truth, "Because of my father, many caravans came to visit me."

"I'll just say it."

"You think I can't figure it out?"

"No, you really impressed me now."

Noah said sincerely, this guy turned into a playboy after going out, it was really outrageous,
"I want to ask you now, how many girls do you want to marry?"

"Right now, there are only five."

The boy hesitated for a moment, then grinned.

"Now?"

"Yes, I should meet a girl I like in the future."

"May you never encounter a humanoid woman in bronze dragon disguise again."

Noah gave his blessing.

"why?"

"I'm afraid you'll be hung on a bronze stake."

Bronze dragons are the most loyal of the metallic dragon race. Each bronze dragon will only have one partner in its lifetime. In this respect, even gold dragons cannot compare to them.

"That can't be possible."

Taidel said flatly.

After delivering a large number of magic treasures to Noah, the young man greatly improved the golden dragon's favorability. After chatting with him for a while, he went down the mountain again. It can be seen that the young man does not have much free time now.

Noah still stayed on the mountain. Even though he knew that Augustus' family territory had undergone new changes as his adoptive father became famous, he was not curious enough to visit.

As for the various policy suggestions he wanted to make regarding the development of the territory, Noah had no intention of telling Teddel because this guy was not a lord yet.

On the third day after the boy left, Noah met his adoptive father again, the border lord who became famous for fighting against legends in the royal capital.

"Uncle, are you a marquis now?"

Noah realized that he had forgotten to ask whether his adoptive father's title would be affected.

"Of course, in the near future, the royal family will take the initiative to confer the title of Duke on me."

Cassius said in a half-joking tone,

"Then you can get what you want."

It was obvious that this man, who was usually a bit serious and old-fashioned, was in a very good mood recently and was even joking.

Most people would brag a bit when they joke, but Noah didn't think his adoptive father would brag. He thought he knew his adoptive father well and he always spoke in a very strict manner.

The last time he came back from hunting in the wilderness, Cassius only said that he was still a little short of reaching the legendary level and was not very confident of breaking through. But now his tone clearly stated that he was 90 percent sure of achieving it.

"Teddel told me that you'll soon break through and become a legend. Is that true? He didn't brag to me?"

"In three years at most, I will be promoted."

The man's steady voice was calm, but the news contained in it was earth-shattering, at least in the border areas.
