Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 37: Golden Fruits on the Golden Tree

"Noah, during the last round of family meetings, the Augustus family discussed and decided to redesign the family emblem to highlight Cassius's achievements and present a new look for the family."

"If they want to remake it, just do it. Why tell me?"

Noah just felt confused.

"They want to paint your image on it, so let me ask for your opinion."

Serena said with a smile.

"?"

Jin Long fell silent.

The coat of arms of nobility is an important status symbol, rich in symbolism, with complex rules and traditions to follow. The design of the coat of arms usually includes various elements, such as beasts, shields, helmets, masks, ribbons, crowns, etc.

Animals such as lions and griffins must not be used indiscriminately, because in heraldry, they are very noble elements. Not to mention dragons. In this vast land where dragons are active, if you don't have enough strength, you dare not put the dragon element on the family emblem.

In terms of strength alone, the Augustus family is now qualified to use dragon elements, but Noah is a golden dragon, and the symbolic significance it represents is self-evident.

"Aren't they afraid of the royal family's wrath? Is this really the result of the discussion at the Augustus Family Council?"

Noah was somewhat surprised. Of course, the Augustus family was not just his adoptive father, but also had many branches. However, in front of his adoptive father, these people's presence was almost non-existent. Noah had never paid attention to them either. After all, his parents entrusted Cassius and the woman in front of him, not the Augustus family.

“I offered some small suggestions.”

"And they approved it unanimously? Uncle has no objection? This is an act of usurpation!"

Golden griffins are mostly royal symbols, and the same goes for lions. The reason why these extraordinary creatures and beasts can be used as royal symbols is because of their color. Golden color often represents royal power.

"But with your presence, it's not an overstepping of authority."

Selina's lips curled up slightly.
"It makes sense for the Duke, who was entrusted with the golden dragon's trust, to use the golden dragon as an element of his family emblem, doesn't it?"

"Since they are so courageous, of course I will allow them!"

Noah, who had been clamoring for rebellious remarks every day since he was a young dragon, would certainly not refuse.

The reason why he was a little quiet now was that since his adoptive father was promoted, he had gradually gained the status of Grand Duke in reality, only lacking the empty title. Since the Augustus family dared to overstep their authority and despise the royal family, what reason did he have not to agree?
"Okay, then I'll reply to those old guys like this."

"Remember to design my image to be majestic and noble."

Noah was a little worried and gave a warning.

"Of course."

The Augustus family was very efficient. After many rounds of discussion, design and veto, they came up with a result that satisfied Noah.

His image is the main element of the Augustus family emblem, but it is not his current childish image. Instead, it is a coiled golden dragon that looks majestic and noble, with a gun in one claw and a sword in the other, adding a bit of solemnity and murderousness.

The designer explained the emblem elements as follows: the Augustus family was recognized by the Golden Dragon, which was the highest honor the family had ever received since its establishment. The Golden Dragon holding a gun and a sword was a symbol of the origin of the pioneering nobility. This statement was purely used to fool the low-intelligence undead. Noah shook his head after hearing it. It was even less likely that the Kingdom's Heraldry Academy would approve it.

However, the Augustus family didn't care at all. Who cared whether the royal family agreed or not? They sent the new emblem to the royal capital just to let those nobles recognize it and remember it. From now on, this would be the symbol of the Augustus family's travels and battles.

Time passed quietly amidst these tiny ups and downs. The territory ruled by the Augustus family was unprecedentedly peaceful and stable. Even the numerous vassal nobles who were assigned by the royal family were more honest than each other and there was no disturbance.

This is the legendary deterrence!

As time passed, a golden ocean undulating with the wind appeared outside the city of Elisim. It was an ocean composed of golden ears of wheat with full grains.

On the main road that runs through it, caravans and travelers will involuntarily stop or slow down to admire the harvest scene that is hard to see anywhere else.

This even caused extremely rare congestion on the city's roads, so much so that the lord's palace had to send guards to both sides of the road to guard the wheat fields.

After all, we cannot have any expectations of people's moral values. When seeing such pleasingly growing wheat fields, who among the merchants passing by would not want to pluck some? Anyone with a little discerning eyes can see what this wheat field represents.

When the harvest day came, nearly half of the residents in the city of Elisim came out. They all owned their own farmland, and it was hard not to notice the neatly arranged wheat fields. The plump ears of wheat made every farmer itchy.

As a result, a rare spectacle appeared: tens of thousands of residents were surrounded by golden wheat fields, so that the main roads were completely blocked, merchants and travelers could not pass, and were forced to watch slaves harvest wheat together.

This was something that many businessmen had never seen before, so they joined in the fun, watching the slaves thresh, measure and weigh the wheat. Every action would trigger an exclamation and discussion.

"It's done!"

Even though he lived on the mountain, Noah could still see the magnificent scenery below the mountain and could faintly hear the noisy and bustling voices of people.

"I have placed a second order with Ironforge. The Augustine family has decided to promote your ridge farming method throughout the territory."

Serena brought about a result that Noah had expected completely.

With the slaves' meticulous cultivation, the output ratio of the twenty hectares of land reached one to thirteen, which was the best harvest ever seen on this land. The city at the foot of the mountain was cheering and the tavern was packed with excited farmers.

"Take it one step at a time. Don't rush."

Noah seemed very calm, but when he fell asleep and saw the golden tree appear in front of him, he could no longer hide his excitement.

Because under the golden tree, waves were stirred up, and neat golden wheat fields appeared. Slaves waved sickles and harvested the wheat one by one. As their sweat splashed, wisps of golden mist rose up, along the roots, and merged into the main trunk. Light golden buds bloomed, and delicate and small golden fruits were produced.

"I wonder what the third kind of fruit does it have?"

Noah's eyes were sharp, and he was also speculating about the nutrients needed for the growth of this fruit.

"Build? Produce? Or create?"

No matter what it is, Noah believes that this is probably the easiest fruit for him to obtain in the future.

Because the Augustus family decided to promote the ridge farming method, once it is fully implemented, it will provide endless nutrients for the growth of golden fruits.
