Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 222: Little Nephew, Don’t Be Afraid

“It has a certain influence, but I pay more attention to personal ability rather than bloodline.”

Noah looked at the young man whose expression had become much more serious and said directly,

"Your family bloodline only makes it easier for me to notice you. If your abilities were not up to the requirements, you would not be able to get everything you have now, let alone stand in front of me."

"That's because of the influence of the Augustus family. If I were just an ordinary tiefling, would you still summon me?"

Wayne at this time was quite stubborn. He ignored the oppression brought to him by the holy dragon in front of him and dared to question again and again.

"If your abilities are still the same as they are now, of course, why not?"

Noah asked back with a strange look on his face.
"How much influence do you think the so-called family background and powerful bloodline can have on me? I know you are somewhat repulsive to the Augustus family.

However, I don't think it's necessary. It's enough for you to hate one of them. There's no need to hate the entire family. The others have done nothing wrong."

"Who?"

"Of course he's your biological father. Who made him so irresponsible that he threw you to me as soon as you were born? No matter how much you hate him, even if you want to chop him with a knife, I will cheer you on from the side."

Noah's tone at this moment was completely like an unscrupulous elder teasing his junior.

"So, my growing up in Lodia was not an accident? It was arranged by that man?"

Wayne would not mention Wuornos’ name.

"Otherwise, you don't feel abandoned, do you? He deliberately dumped you on my territory, and he didn't even say hello to me. It's really too much."

Although Noah did not hold a grudge against this matter, the Golden Dragon was still very happy to cause some trouble to this increasingly lonely king.

"So, my growth as a child was arranged? The group of tieflings and goblins who took care of me?"

After knowing that he was not simply abandoned, Wayne reviewed his life experience countless times and asked questions to the Holy Dragon who truly knew everything. He had already become suspicious.

"Your father found that group of tieflings. As for that goblin? Do you believe me when I say I didn't arrange it?"

Although Urnos's behavior was a bastard, he was not really cold-blooded. The group of tieflings who took care of Wayne never worried about money after adopting him. Even after Wayne grew up and wandered around the kingdom, he never really worried about money.

He did not completely give up on this child who he felt brought disgrace to the name of the Augustus family, and he still provided him with a lot of financial assistance in private, but that was all he went to.

"Do not believe."

When Wayne was young, he might not have taken the little goblin who suddenly came to him to recommend himself seriously and felt that he was very lucky. But when Wayne grew up a little, he felt that there were many doubts.

But Wayne, who lacks the care from his parents, longs for family affection so much. At this time, even if Wayne feels that there is something wrong with the fairy next to him, the feelings accumulated by spending time together day and night are difficult for Wayne to bear to give up.

After all, this little goblin who took the initiative to surrender to him did not do anything to hurt him from beginning to end. Instead, he always tried his best to help him. When he was in danger, this little goblin would even block the knife for him.

"So, I said this kind of thing can't be explained clearly."

Just because of an unintentional act in childhood, he agreed to take in the little goblin. After that, all the goblins in this area were tacitly regarded as the golden dragon's followers.

Although this greatly increases the survival rate of this fragile elf creature, some wild goblins do take advantage of this rather intimidating identity to cheat and cause trouble for Noah.

But Noah wouldn't admit it. It was none of his business if a wild goblin made a mistake. Of course, the little goblin next to Wayne did hang out with him in the past, but Noah didn't know it.

It was not until the goblin defected to Wayne that Noah noticed the existence of this little guy.

To be honest, in the environment at that time, there were not many goblins like this. However, after Urnos came to power and carried out a large-scale layoff, he started his own business and there were many more goblins who found enemies to worship.

As the saying goes, what goes up comes down. Noah raised a large group of fairies, so naturally there were some dignitaries and forces who wanted to curry favor with him and were also willing to support a group of fairies.

Maybe it has no practical use, but it's nice to just appreciate it. The fairy is really good-looking and very capable in fighting.

“Is my life all planned out?”

The information Noah told Wayne was something he had never known, so after learning this, the young man asked this question.

"Of course not. You have already destroyed Urnos's palace. How could you have such doubts? How screwed up is he to arrange for his own son to demolish his palace?"

Noah just wondered if the little guy in front of him had some paranoid delusions.

"Our arrangements for you are only to ensure that you can grow up healthy and worry-free. As for your own venture out, all the achievements you have made are beyond our expectations.

No one could have imagined that you could have the foundation to reach the legendary level at such a young age. I have to say that you are the best among your generation."

"Better than Alexander?"

Hearing Noah's praise, Wayne suddenly asked a question.

"Of course, without my training and cultivation, Alexander would be far inferior to you."

"what about now?"

Wayne raised his eyebrows. To be honest, even though this blood elder brother's reputation was already at its peak and many people regarded him as the next monarch of the kingdom, Wayne still did not take him seriously.

"You will be very suitable opponents. Of course, it is just a contest in the arena. As for the fight between life and death, I don't think there is such hatred between you."

"opponent?"

Wayne remained silent. Although he did not agree with Shenglong's evaluation, he could not refute it before they actually fought.

"Anything else you want to ask?"

"What is your purpose in arranging this for me?"

"I want to recruit you. Your father disliked you and threw you to me. Now that you have grown up and achieved success, I want to recruit you back. It's not that easy. Even if I want to recruit you, I have to come first and he has to queue up behind me."

Noah said bluntly.

When dealing with someone like Wayne who grew up in a complex environment and is no different from an orphan, sincerity is the best way to communicate. Using lies to confuse him is not sure whether it will succeed. Even if it can, it will only be a temporary success and will be exposed sooner or later. By then, it will be laying hidden dangers for the future.

"Recruit me?"

Wayne did not expect the holy dragon in front of him to be so straightforward, and he was silent for a moment.

When he was still weak, some devils did jump in front of him and wanted to take him as their slaves, but he chopped them all to death and swallowed their souls. He almost forgot how the last guy who wanted to recruit him as his subordinate died. It had been a long time since a creature made such a request to him.

However, the being who wanted to recruit him was different from all the ignorant idiots before. This was a holy dragon revered by tens of millions of creatures.

Even for him, putting aside some personal emotions caused by his birth issues, he actually admired the dragon in front of him very much.

Because, seriously speaking, he who calls himself the Dark Knight is also an idealist who works hard for an ideal that he knows is impossible to achieve.

Idealists will appreciate and be attracted to each other.

That's why Wayne was willing to stay in Elisim for so many years. Although it was only four or five years, it was actually a very long time for him who was only in his early thirties.

"Although you are actually working for me, there are some things I think need to be made clear."

Noah said this, but his purpose in speaking out loud was to keep this kid here forever.

If some things are not made clear, this guy really dares to resign and leave. He himself is a wanderer drifting around, and in his heart, he has no definition of home.

"Don't you know that I have the blood of hell?"

"Do you know where the most tiefling-friendly territory is on Zealandia?"

Noah asked back.

"..."

The answer to the question is obvious. After Wayne left his hometown as a child, he never found a city that was more tolerant of Tieflings than his hometown.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that tieflings won’t be discriminated against in the Holy Dragon’s territory, but at least their lives won’t be threatened and their survival can be guaranteed.

"Isn't it the Titan bloodline that has awakened in me that you are interested in?"

Wayne whispered softly that the Titan blood he awakened was the reason why his father wanted to recognize him at all costs, and it was also the thing that made him so angry and could not accept it the most.

"Did you misunderstand something?"

Noah looked at the inexplicably confident young man below.

“The Titan bloodline is indeed a very powerful bloodline, but the tiny amount of bloodline that you have awakened is just the tip of the iceberg compared to a true Titan.

If you think that this little bit of blood can attract me, then you are not only looking down on me, but also looking down on yourself."

The golden dragon lying on the throne raised its head, then lowered its eyes.

"What I value is the potential you have shown."

“My potential?”

Wayne unconsciously took a step back. This was the first time he retreated and evaded since entering the Ten Thousand Dragons Palace.

Because he was growing too fast, and this also involved his most important secret, which was a secret that only he knew so far.

His promotion speed was obviously unusual, so some forces had come to test him, but he fought back with a tough attitude.

Although it seems now that he was able to maintain a tough stance at that time entirely because of the influence of the Augustus Family and the Holy Dragon, he can also confirm one thing, that is, the secrets he possessed had nothing to do with the Augustus Family.

Because it was by virtue of their achievements in suppressing the disaster of hell that the Augustus family was able to found a country and become the royal family that ruled the East.

How could such a family be related to hell?
"Are you afraid?"

Seeing the young man stepping back, Noah lowered his head. His dragon pupils, which were larger than the young man's, turned slightly, reflecting the young man's restless face.

"What are you afraid of? Are you worried that I might spy on your secrets?"

Crackling~

Brilliant golden thunder shone on the young man's body, and a vast and ancient aura burst out with it. The young man's body quickly swelled up, and he began to turn into a giant.

However, during this process, balls of black gas also exploded, completely infecting the golden thunder and transforming it into a sinister giant snake, entwining itself around the body of the giant that had appeared.

"Don't get excited, little nephew!"

When the young man exploded and revealed his true form as a Titan, Noah stretched out his dragon claws and grabbed him, suppressing his torso on the spot, leaving only his head and limbs exposed, making him unable to move.

As for the dark thunder on his body, which was almost able to develop intelligence, bit the golden dragon scales, but was immediately counterattacked by the natural divine patterns on the dragon scales and shattered on the spot.

"The cost of repairing my place is very high. Please hold back, or I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it."

"Uncle Noah, I should call you that, right? Is the purpose of your summoning me to seal me?"

At this time, Wayne, who was held under Noah's dragon claws, seemed to have surrendered, but his eyes were still firm, and it seemed that he had a backup plan.

"Of course not. Why would I seal you? Have you done anything evil?"

Noah was a little amused, looking at his nephew's overreaction.
"I can understand your reaction, and I can sympathize with you, but I still want to make it clear that I have no interest in your secrets. The talent that can devour souls infinitely is of no use to me."

After these words came out, Wayne, who was originally planning to struggle and use some backup plans, suddenly calmed down. He had been seen through.
"It seems you know me very well."

"Of course, I still have a copy of the video footage of you wearing crotchless pants. I have the record of when you lost your virginity."

“Why do you keep these?”

He had black hair and black eyes, and was surrounded by a sinister evil aura, like a Titan that had fallen into hell, and his face had turned blue.

"As an elder who cares for the younger generation, isn't it normal to have such information?"

Noah asked back in a somewhat strange tone. Some image stones may not be worth much at the time, but after ten or a hundred years, they are worth a fortune.

“Similarly, as an elder, I should remind you that the gift of fate has already been secretly marked with a price. Sooner or later, you will pay everything for it.

But at this point, are you sure you have the capital to pay?"
