Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 378: The Flirtatious Dragon Scum, the Grandson of the Holy Dragon

"We are each responsible for the construction of a cross-border gate. Does this mean that after the construction of the cross-border gate is completed, we will have the opportunity to independently rule the legion and conquer the plane?"

There was an uncontrollable excitement in the girl's eyes. Once the dragon clan's desire to rule appeared, it would only continue to expand. Unless the god of death came, nothing could suppress it.

"This is a war of revenge that is in line with justice. Conquest is only a by-product, not the purpose of our war."

Seeing his sister's excited expression, Eliade, as the eldest brother, reminded her.

"Yes, I understand. This is a just war. So, will father let us lead the army alone?"

Scardino responded to his brother perfunctorily and then continued the previous topic.

Conquer the plane independently. Which dragon with the desire to rule can resist such temptation?

"Not likely, we are still too young."

Eliade shook his head.
"We don't have the ability to lead a plane war right now. Father just asked us to supervise the construction of the cross-plane gate. Don't think too much about it."

"Young? Brother, you are almost 200 years old. I am not young either. I am about to graduate from Dragon Academy."

Scatillo complained unhappily.

“So, you are still a student now.”

"But I am also the Lord of Arendelle, the Great Lord of Ice and Snow. My achievements are no less than yours."

The Ice Princess raised her head slightly with a hint of pride.

"These achievements are meaningless in front of the gods. After the cross-border gate is built, a war against the gods will be waged. Unless you have the power to fight against the incarnation of the gods, it will be impossible to lead the war."

Telramus also interjected that although he longed for war, he was more rational and knew what level he was at now.

Therefore, even though he accepted the task of eradicating the faith of the Church of the Flaming Sun from his father and had to oversee the construction progress of the cross-border gate, most of his energy was still devoted to his base, that is, the Underdark.

He found a lot of goblin engineers to go underground. He wanted to build a mechanical undead workshop underground. He was no longer satisfied with the production speed of the Giant God Workshop because he had too many souls stored in his hands. If he wanted to convert them into mechanical undead as soon as possible, the workshop had to expand production.

Of course, this kind of thing would not distract him too much. He could just continue with the previous plan and develop it step by step. What really occupied most of Teramus's energy was that he had found a partner.

That’s right. As a dragon over 120 years old, although his growth rate is much slower than dragons of the same age due to the influence of his ancestral bloodline, he has also entered the young dragon stage.

Dragons in this age group are the most suitable for breeding, even among the relatively conservative metal dragons. As for the color dragons, there are records of those guys laying eggs in the juvenile dragon stage.

Its physical development is almost mature and the conditions are in place. As a dragon, Tyramus naturally follows his heart and looks for a suitable partner.

However, the descendants of the Holy Dragon, who had been living underground for a long time, did not take a fancy to any metal dragon, let alone take a look at the Dragon Academy. Instead, they encountered wild dragons underground.

Of course, it's not very polite to say that they are wild, but these dragons are indeed a race of dragons that huddle underground and have no reputation or records.

Gem Dragons
It is one of the dragon branches second only to Metal and Color. However, compared to these two extremely active dragon branches, the movements of the Gem Dragon Clan are much more low-key, because most of the Gem Dragons are otakus and don't like to move around in the material world.

Tyramus, who was devoted to the development of underground business, dug up the Gem Dragon Clan who stayed at home obediently and rarely went out, and then the plot developed in a very clichéd way.

The descendants of the ancestors, who were born into a wealthy family and had an extraordinary background, did not say a word to the beautiful women around them and did not even look at them. Instead, when they went out on an adventure, they fell in love at first sight with the wild dragons who had no social experience and were extremely obsessed with them.

Of course, the Gem Dragon Clan is also a powerful branch among the dragon clan, but its number is as rare as that of the Metal Dragon Clan. Its average racial bloodline potential is comparable to that of the Color Dragon Clan. It can be said that it combines the shortcomings of the two clans, and its overall status is below that of the Metal and Color Clan.

Out of some concerns, Teramus hid the fact that he had found a partner. He neither told his brother nor his father.

He planned to wait until the rice was cooked into salty rice, that is, until his partner laid the dragon egg, and then announce the matter. In this way, even if there were objections, they would have to accept the fact.

However, Noah was far more open-minded than his descendants imagined.
"You have a kid?"

Noah's mood at the moment was quite strange, even complicated, because in Noah's self-perception, he was still a very young dragon.

After all, he had just entered adulthood, but in the end, his own son told him that he talked about the little female dragon while he was sleeping.

I hid this from him because I was afraid that he would dislike me and not recognize me. Now that the dragon egg has been laid, I choose to bravely announce it.

"I'm going to be a grandfather?!"

"Yes, you are a grandfather now."

Tyramus' tone was calm, but there was an unconcealable uneasiness in his dragon eyes.

"Why did you wait until now to tell me?"

Noah's expression showed a hint of displeasure.

He didn't have such a strong desire to control. After teaching what he should teach and giving what he should give, he let it go. As a dragon, how bad could it be? The bloodline was enough to guarantee it.

But just because he let things take their own course doesn't mean he didn't care about anything. He was unaware that his offspring had found a mate. He only learned about it after the dragon egg was laid.

"My partner is not a gold dragon, but a gem dragon."

Teramus raised his head and answered with courage.

He was not sure whether his father was a dragon who paid attention to bloodline, but he was sure that his father was a dragon who was very strict with his offspring.

Otherwise, he and his brother would not have suffered such a hardship. Even his most beloved sister could not escape the fate of entering college and receiving ninety years of education.

They, the brothers and sisters, can only indulge themselves within a limited scope. If they really want to do something reckless, it is impossible and there is no chance at all.

Therefore, Tyramus chose to hide his chosen partner because he had only inherited part of the power of his ancestors.

If he chooses a gem dragon with weaker bloodline potential to mate with it, the dragon eggs laid will give birth to weaker dragons. It can be said that his choice will continue to deteriorate his father's bloodline.

He knew that this was not the best choice and could be considered stupid, but how could he measure emotional matters with pure interests?
"Gem Dragon Clan, you have good eyesight!"

To Telramus's surprise, when Noah heard that he was looking for a gem dragon mate, he did not get angry at all, but instead showed approval.

"When I founded the Gemological Society, I also considered absorbing the Gem Dragon Clan, but unfortunately I didn't find any. I didn't expect that you would make up for my little shortcoming back then."

"Father, aren't you angry?"

"Why are you angry?"

At this time, it was Noah's turn to be confused.

"The blood of the Gem Dragons is weaker, and the offspring born from my union with them will also be weaker." "What are you talking about? When did blood potential become the key to choosing a partner? If I had thought the same as you did, I would have simply lived my whole life alone and not looked for a partner. You and your brothers and sisters would never have been born."

Noah's displeasure was revealed directly. He didn't expect that in the eyes of his descendants, he would have such an image. Would he look down on other dragons because of his bloodline power?

He is an ancestor dragon. In terms of the power of his bloodline, who in this material world can be compared with him? To be frank, no creature is qualified to mention the nobility of his bloodline in front of him.

Whenever he combines with any living being, his bloodline will deteriorate, and the same goes for his offspring. No matter who he combines with, the power of his bloodline will definitely decrease.

Even if Telramus seeks out an orthodox golden dragon and combines with it, the resulting child will only be weaker. Of course, it will be a little stronger than the gem dragon clan, but its strength will also be limited.

The difference is completely negligible in Noah's opinion, so what's wrong with his child finding a dragon he likes?

"It turns out I was thinking too much."

Hearing his father's words, Tairamus breathed a sigh of relief. The problem he had been worried about did not exist. This made him feel a little relaxed and a little funny.

"Bring the dragon home so I can see it. You've laid eggs, but I haven't even seen a dragon. This is outrageous."

Noah demanded sternly,

"Does your mother know about this?"

"I don't know. I didn't tell any dragons. You are the first one to know about this after I decided to make it public."

"Ah."

Noah nodded reluctantly, then remembered something and asked again.
"You haven't told me yet which species of gem dragon you are looking for?"

"All."

"What do you mean by all?"

Noah noticed something was wrong and his voice became a little louder.

"I have one for each of the Emerald Dragon, Amethyst Dragon, Topaz Dragon, and Sapphire Dragon."

Teramus hesitated for a moment, then answered a little shyly.

"~"

Noah was silent for a moment, then found the key.
"What about the crystal dragon?"

"I'm pursuing her, and she's about to agree to it."

"!?"

Noah was completely silent. Facing his father who was also in silence, Teramus realized that he might have said something wrong, so he took the initiative to ask, breaking the quiet and oppressive atmosphere.

"Dad, did I do something wrong?"

“You didn’t do anything wrong, but you didn’t do anything right either.”

Noah felt that an indescribable emotion was accumulating in his chest. He wanted to vent it, so he asked again,
"You are about to become a father, and you already have a child and a partner. Why do you still want to pursue a crystal dragon? Don't you think there is anything wrong with this behavior?"

The metallic dragons' concept of love is quite pure and simple. Many metallic dragons have only one partner in their entire life, and they are faithful to each other until death.

"I have not concealed my identity, nor have I concealed my children and partner. Camilla knows my past. She knows that I am a dragon with multiple partners, and she is willing to be one of them."

Facing his father's questioning, Teramus seemed very calm.

He did not feel that he had done anything wrong, because he had not lied or deceived the female dragon he was pursuing in this regard. Everything was done voluntarily, which was in line with the code of conduct of the metal dragon clan.

"Does your other partner know about this?"

"Yes, I have not concealed or deceived any dragon. They all know of each other's existence. In fact, my companions, they all live together."

"how did you do it?"

Noah couldn't help but ask.

Because until now, his several partners have not been in contact. Noah thought he had coordinated very well, but looking at his offspring, it was outrageous.

"what?"

Teramus obviously didn't react.

"I mean, why would you have multiple partners at once?"

"Isn't that what you are?"

"Me? We don't..."

Noah held back what he wanted to say subconsciously. Most golden dragons only have one partner, but he is an outlier. There is nothing wrong with his son imitating his behavior. It is logical. In this respect, he is even better than his father. He is truly better than his father.

"How do you know them?"

Noah changed the subject.

"The first person I met was the Yellow Jade Dragon Brigitte. The magic she performed at that time attracted me..."

After Teramus put his concerns to rest, he spoke frankly about his underground love history.

The Gem Dragons are a race of dragons that possess psychic powers, but have extremely strange personalities that easily cause discomfort to those who come into contact with them, and are extremely difficult to get along with.

Tyramus first encountered a topaz dragon nesting in an underground lake. After an unpleasant battle, Tyramus decided to conquer it and put the dragon on his bed.

It was from this topaz dragon that Tyramus gradually came into contact with those gem dragons that were isolated underground. Then, having tasted the sweetness and pleasure, the Son of the Holy Dragon followed the steps and conquered them one by one.

"Are you looking for a partner or a subordinate? Do you really have feelings for them?"

After hearing his second son talking about his love history, Noah interrupted and asked again. It was hard for him not to be concerned about the mental state of his second son.

“Of course, I love each of them deeply. Although my feelings for them are not pure, this does not negate my sincerity towards them.

What's more, they all have a charm that I can't refuse, and I don't want to make a choice."
