Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 42 First Place

"Eight thousand kilograms of pearls, when do you want me to get them?"

After hearing Noah's words, Teddel's eyes, which were originally gloomy, suddenly lit up again, like a clockwork puppet injected with vitality and energy, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
"Haven't you been promoted to Glorious Gold? When you hold your coming-of-age ceremony, you will be qualified to lead a knight group. By then, you will have the status and power you want. What is there to worry about with just these few pearls?"

Noah sneered disdainfully, and then looked at the burly man in front of him with a scrutinizing look.
"Also, you really want to collect 8,000 kilograms of pearls and let a young dragon help you save face. Have you fallen to this level now?"

"I just came back today, and I just didn't have time to take care of it."

Teddel had to explain himself to save his reputation.

"Then wash yourself and dress yourself up before coming back. Look at yourself. You don't look like a duke's heir at all."

"All right!"

Teddel, who looked like a wandering knight, just shook his body slightly, and the light lock formed by the power of the spirit of words was instantly shattered, which made the golden dragon stunned for a moment, and then relieved.

The short-lived species, who are naturally gifted, will grow at a speed that the long-lived species cannot match after being fully honed. This is a kind of balance.

The golden dragon watched the young man go down the mountain. After a long while, a young man wearing a robe embroidered with flowing gold and possessing a somewhat noble look came into Noah's sight. However, he kept pulling at the robe, as if he was extremely uncomfortable with this overly complicated attire.

"Now this kind of dress is considered decent."

Noah looked at Teddel at this moment. After shaving his beard and tidying up his hair, Teddel looked like the high-spirited young man in his impression, but there was still a clear difference.

At this time, Teddel had lost his youthful innocence and looked mature and steady, but a little too mature, because his eyes contained a sense of vicissitudes that exceeded his current age, and he also exuded a faint melancholy temperament.

"Not bad, not bad. You can easily hook up with even the princesses of the royal family and the noble ladies of the dukes and marquises."

Teddel's figure and appearance were not bad to begin with, and he had grown a lot taller after nearly two years of experience outside. He also had a first-class family background and the temperament of a scumbag that he had developed at this moment.

Noah was very sure that this guy could easily charm those princes and noble ladies who were ignorant of the ways of the world and make them fall in love with him and insist on marrying him.

"Noah, you really are obsessed with my marriage!"

After several years, hearing Jin Long's evaluation again, Teddel couldn't help but laugh and cry. The decadent air in his body dissipated a lot, and his mood became a little better.

"Of course. Well, I've prepared the wine. Come in and tell me your story."

Noah turned and walked towards the Dragon's Nest. Looking at the grand and open door, the young man Teddel, who was invited for the first time, was somewhat stunned and incredulous.
"Are you inviting me into your lair?"

"What? Don't you dare to come in?"

The golden dragon turned around and looked at the young man.

"Of course not, it's just a dragon's nest. It's not like I haven't been in there before."

Taidel held his head high and stepped forward.

"Why? Have you ever entered other dragons' lairs during your training?"

Noah looked at the young man with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that this guy was so courageous.

"It's not a real dragon's lair like yours, just an armored earth dragon."

Under the golden dragon's gaze, the young man also looked embarrassed and a little ashamed.

"You compare this inferior bloodline's hybrid earth dragon's nest with my dragon's nest?"

A very faint but real pressure spread out, and the young man who had already approached the tall gate of the Dragon's Nest suddenly paused and felt a tightness in his chest.

"I was wrong, Noah, and I apologize."

Seeing the young man immediately give in, Noah didn't even raise his eyelids and made a condition:
"Three thousand kilograms of pearls, I want you to catch them with your own hands." "Okay."

"It won't happen again."

Noah then let the young man go, but Teddel did not notice that the golden dragon turned around and slightly grinned, revealing its snow-white and shiny dragon teeth.

He didn't care about this little offense at all, and his mind wasn't that narrow. It was just that this guy needed to do something laborious to distract himself.

"Is this the golden dragon's lair? How gorgeous."

Following Noah, the young man who stepped into the Dragon's Nest failed to control his expression, or he did not need to control his expression here. His mind subconsciously relaxed, and he showed an extremely exaggerated look of surprise.

However, most people would probably show such an expression after seeing the nest built by the golden dragon, because it is completely different from the stereotype of the nest that most people have.

Dark, damp, cold, narrow and cramped, of course, do not exist. There is a spacious and bright space where even a giant can walk freely.

The sunstone inlaid on the dome, and the walls and floor with shining alchemical matrix light patterns, ensure that there is no darkness or shadow inside the dragon's nest. There is also a glow like flowing water floating in the air, which makes people feel a faint warmth when they touch it.

Noah's Dragon's Nest is more like a mountain-shaped castle that is about to hollow out the upper part of the mountain. Its scale is quite astonishing.

Because it was designed and built with the purpose of allowing an adult golden dragon to move freely after revealing its true form.

"Don't let your jaw drop."

Noah was very satisfied to see the young man's expression and led him to the reception area of ​​the Dragon's Nest.

"Noah, am I the first person to enter here?"

Teddel, admiring the magnificent structure inside the dragon's nest, caught up with Noah and couldn't hide his excitement, and couldn't help asking.

"Of course not. Your parents have visited here countless times."

"No, I mean, after you take control of this place, should I be the first one to enter here?"

"No."

Noah ignored the expectation in the young man's eyes and ruthlessly broke his fantasy.
"Shifraya, is the mead ready?"

"It's ready, Your Highness."

A small figure flying in the air holding a wine bottle that was bigger than its body came into Teddle's sight.

“She comes first.”

Noah pointed to the Hobgoblin.

"She's not a human, so she doesn't count."

The young man couldn't help but feel complacent.

"as long as you are happy."

Noah took the bottle and handed it to Teddel.
"Now, it's your turn to make me happy."

"what?"

The young man took the bottle of wine that smelled of flowers with a confused look on his face.

"Tell me about your training experience and how you got this decadent aura. I'm very interested."
