Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 255: Blazing Holy Dragon, Change of Talent

The small and rhythmic chewing sounds echoed in the palace. Two girls who looked 70% similar, like twins, looked at the little guy who was sitting on a pile of pearls and eating non-stop with sparkling eyes.

"So tender!"

After watching for a long time, finally, a girl couldn't hold back any longer, stretched out her palm, and gently pinched the bulging cheeks.

“It feels great!”

The little fellow who was busy eating frowned, stretched out his chubby little hands, separated the sinful palm, grabbed the pearls piled in front of him that were taller than him, and continued to stuff them into his mouth.

"Tsk, the little guy is quite temperamental!"

Selena was not discouraged after being blocked. She stretched out her claws again and reached out to the newborn baby, wanting to ravage the pink and elastic little face again.

"Grandma, don't do this!"

Gwen looked at Serena who was happily trying to knead the baby's face, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and tried to stop her.

"Try it, it feels really good."

Not only did Selena ignore her granddaughter's attempts to stop her, she also tried to drag her into doing evil with her.

"Dad Long is still watching."

Gwen had to remind him again in a low voice, because the scales between the brows of the golden dragon with its head lowered had bulged. The already majestic golden dragon looked even more terrifying at this moment.

"What's wrong with me pinching him? He's my grandson anyway!"

Serena said with a confident tone, and then raised her head to look at the golden dragon that was staring at her.

"What are you looking at? I'm teasing my grandson, do you have any objection?"

"He's still young!"

Noah could only remind him helplessly.

"It's just that I'm still young now, so I can only tease you. Otherwise, when I grow up, I'll become like you guys, which is very boring."

Serena had a point.

"Wait until he finishes eating!"

Noah was not surprised at the arrival of the two legendary wizards. Knowing about the birth of Eliade, how could this grandfather and grandson tolerate it?

"That won't work. He'll go to sleep after he finishes eating."

Under Noah's gaze, Serena blatantly stretched out her finger and gently poked the super hybrid's cheek again.

"Come on, call me sister!"

"Sister, could you please not disturb me while I'm eating? I'm very hungry now!"

Under Selina's continued harassment, Eliade had no choice but to raise his golden dragon eyes that were emitting pure white holy light, look at Selina, and beg in a baby voice.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Just concentrate on eating. By the way, what else do you want to eat? I'll get it for you!"

Hearing the word "sister", Selena was overjoyed. It had been a long time since anyone called her sister. When she was teaching Gwen, Gwen called her sister.

Unfortunately, when she grew up, little Gwen became very formal and respectfully called her grandma or teacher. Even though she corrected him several times, it was useless because he was no longer the same as when he was a child.

"That's enough."

Elijah seemed very satisfied with being able to eat pearls full of magic power since birth.

"I remember that dragons also like to eat high-quality extraordinary metals, right?"

Although Elijah did not make any requests, Serena still looked to Noah, seeking advice from her father.

"Ah, yes, that's right. It's best to use extraordinary metals such as adamantium, mithril, orichalcum, and hybrid steel."

Noah was startled for a moment, then he reacted and explained to his adoptive mother what kind of metal substances dragons need to eat to supplement the nutrients needed for growth.

Even the shed dragon scales from powerful dragons can be used to make high-level armor, but the outstanding properties of dragon scales themselves do not come out of thin air; they still need to be absorbed from other substances.

Therefore, dragons do have a need to swallow metal. The more powerful the dragon, the greater its need in this regard. Otherwise, what material can be used to form the dragon's bones to support its increasingly huge body?
"How dare you bring that up!"

Selina rolled her eyes when she heard Noah's suggestion, but she did find a lot of high-quality ores and fed them to Eliade.
"It's not that I won't give you refined food, but I'm afraid it will knock your teeth now. When you're older, I'll feed you pure metal."

Elijah's teeth were incredibly good. Thousands of gold coins were needed to buy one ounce of ore and throw it into his mouth. Even though sparks flew, he still chewed it in two bites and swallowed it like a candy bean.

During this process, Selena showed a gentleness that Noah had not seen in a long time.

He had seen his adoptive mother look like this before, but since he grew up, she was no longer as affectionate to him as she was back then.

“It’s a mess.”

Seeing Selena coaxing her child and calling her "sister" all the time, Noah also understood how Teddel felt when he heard his mother ask his daughter to call her "sister".

Although he felt extremely complicated, it was impossible to correct it. Faced with such a thing, Noah just pretended not to hear it and let everyone shout their own words.

After waking up, under the care of the two legendary wizards, Elijah, who was well fed and well drunk, soon fell into a deep sleep, breathing evenly.

"What's wrong? Your son is born. Why do you look unhappy?"

Facing the sleeping little guy, Selena controlled her hands well, but her attention was on Noah.

"No, I'm not unhappy, I'm just a little surprised."

"What accident?"

"His appearance exceeded my expectations. I thought a dragon would be born!"

"Isn't this little guy a dragon? Look at his wings. You only have one pair, but he has three pairs!"

Selina couldn't help herself and reached out to fiddle with the wings that covered Elijah's body as he curled up.

Of course, those were not pure wings. Their shape was extremely similar to Noah's. Golden dragon scales covered the wing roots and wing bones, and as the dragon scales grew and spread downwards, they gradually transitioned into sword-shaped feathers.

"It's different." Noah argued with his adoptive mother. Although Eliad was a very special half-angel dragon in terms of bloodline, there was such a huge gap between his bloodline and Ophelia's.

Logically speaking, his bloodline should have an absolute advantage, so Eliad should be in the form of a dragon after birth, but the reality is that Eliad is still mainly in the form of an angel.

"Stop fighting, just look!"

When Noah and Selina were arguing about whether Eliad was a dragon or an angel, Gwen's voice rang out in time, and then the eyes of the two people and the dragon were focused on the sleeping little guy.

The little fellow, who had eaten and drunk his fill, now had a hazy glow on his body. Under the light, the little fellow's round face, which had originally been described as pretty and cute, suddenly underwent a drastic change.

Dragon scales emerged from his face, connecting with each other. At the same time, the shape of his skull was changing: his lower jaw was elongated, his nose was raised... and a dragon head with crowned horns appeared under the gaze of three pairs of eyes.

This change is not limited to the head. While his skull is deforming, his body is also undergoing drastic changes. His torso is beginning to become more slender and more sinuous.

A golden dragon with six wings appeared in Noah's palace. When the two legendary wizards saw it, their eyes sparkled.

"Noah, are you finally satisfied with this?"

At this moment, the only thing that has not changed about Iliad is the six wings on his back.

"Satisfied!"

Seeing the golden dragon in front of him that looked almost identical to himself except for its wings and horns, Noah couldn't help but nod his head repeatedly. This was more like it should be.

However, it is worth mentioning that although Eliad has more dragon wings, he only has four dragon horns on his head, two less than Noah, which are also the most critical pair. But even so, the dragon bloodline inherited from Noah is enough for him to dominate the dragon clan.

"Unconsciously switching in sleep? How interesting. This is also his true form. This is the first time I have seen such a hybrid."

Selina circled in the air, flying around Eliade again and again, and finally asked Noah with a clear purpose,

"By the way, Noah, does this little guy have a babysitter? What do you think of me? I have a lot of experience in parenting."

"He already has a very competent nanny. I don't think he needs two nannies to take care of him at the same time."

Noah's eyes went to Gwen.

"She? She can't. She doesn't have time."

Selina's critical eyes fell on her granddaughter, and then she showed a look of disgust.

"Why don't I have time?"

Gwendolen was confused. How could she not know that she had no time?

"Haven't you become a legendary wizard?"

"Yup!"

"Then why are you staying here? Why don't you return to the Star Tower? Have you forgotten the goal you set for yourself when you were a child?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten, but with my current strength, how can I possibly compete to become the Lord of the Stars!"

Gwen argued unconvincedly that she was now in a state of pennilessness. Although her grandmother and Dragon Father had given her some equipment, it was far from enough for a legendary wizard, not to mention competing with other legendary wizards for the position of tower master.

"Look at you, you are such a loser. How do you know it won't work if you don't try it?

Look, your younger brother has been the King of Atlas for decades, your nephew is about to become the King of the Undead, and your niece is also going to become the Queen of the Elves.

Look at yourself again. You don't even have the courage to go back and compete for the position of the Lord of the Tower. Are you being rude? You have failed my expectations of you!"

Under Selina's continuous questioning, Gwendolyn's momentum quickly became weak like a defeated hen, his eyes were evasive, and he didn't dare to confront his grandmother.

Because in terms of the achievements made by the main members of the family, her aunt has been surpassed by her nephews and nieces. From this perspective, it does seem a bit unreasonable.

"Isn't it only a matter of time before Gwen becomes the Lord of the Tower?"

Seeing that the foster mother even resorted to psychological warfare in order to fight for the right to take care of her cub, Noah couldn't help but persuade her.

"What do you mean sooner or later? With her current nonchalant attitude that everything will be fine once she becomes a Legend, she will never be able to become the Lord of the Stars in her lifetime."

Selina's words were sharp.

Although her purpose was quite clear, Gwen was indeed stimulated because it came true. After being promoted to Legend, she did become a lot more lazy. She no longer had the previous urgency, nor the pressure of breaking through the realm, and she acted as she pleased.

"Dad Long, I'm sorry, I probably won't have the time to continue taking care of Eliade in the future."

Gwen obviously couldn't compete with her grandmother, so she chose to quit because she was determined to calm down and practice hard to make herself competitive enough.

"Go ahead!"

Noah was not in a position to try to persuade Gwen to stay as she had given up on her own initiative. As for his adoptive mother, although Jinlong agreed to let her help take care of his cubs, he still had to be on guard.

Noah believed that Serena would not do anything excessive, but she would definitely do some small things, he knew it too well.

However, Iliad at this moment was very similar to a dragon cub. He only ate and slept every day and was rarely awake, so Selena only came to tease him occasionally.

"Time flies by so fast. Calculating my age, I'm almost 120 years old."

When Eliade was one year old, Noah suddenly came to his senses, calculated his age, and suddenly realized, then he couldn't help but sigh,
"But I'm still very young."

One hundred and twenty years old, for the dragon race, is just the beginning of adulthood, but for Noah, it is just the beginning of youth.

Ten years was just a short moment for Noah, but for the world dominated by short-lived species, it was enough time for many drastic changes to take place.

The most drastic change on the continent of Zealandia today is the Elf King's Court, where the internal political situation has undergone a drastic change.

The original Elf Royal Court, although named as a monarchy, was actually governed by the Elf Queen supported by the royal family, the Noble Council composed of many clan elders, and the temple priests.

In name, the Elf Queen has the highest ruling power, but if she gives orders blindly, they will easily be rejected. If she wants to do anything, she needs to discuss with the elders and priests. But now it is different.

The Elf Royal Court has gradually transformed from a false monarchy into a true monarchy, with its military, political and sacrificial powers all controlled by one person.

What is unbelievable is that this person is not the Elf Queen who is still sitting on the throne, but an outsider with impure bloodline.

This was something that had never happened in the thousands of years since the establishment of the Elf Royal Court, but it had happened now and had completely changed the power structure within the Elf Royal Court.
