Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 424: The Angry Grandson of the Holy Dragon

"Jadon, what are you doing!?"

Seeing the dumbfounded Red Dragon followers, Xizel reacted immediately and scolded them.

He was no stranger to such eyes and expressions. He had seen them too many times. Many female dragons would show similar expressions when they saw him.

"Cesare, I..."

The red dragon Jetton, who suddenly woke up from the reprimand, also realized his own misconduct. He was about to open his mouth to explain, but he saw the usually gentle grandson of the Holy Dragon, who glanced at him with a warning look and said,
"No need to explain, I'll tell you when we get back."

"Hahaha, look at it, poor reptile, you take it as an honor to be his follower, but now you just look at his sister for a second longer and he looks at you like garbage."

Unbridled laughter and mocking voices suddenly rang out, but now Jetton had no way to block out and ignore such voices.
"Jadon, you are the stupidest red dragon I have ever seen. Have you not woken up yet? What kind of status do you hold in the eyes of this reptile descendant? He has never taken you seriously. If you were a golden dragon, do you think you would still be treated like this?"

Probably not!
Just as this thought came to Jaylen's mind, he saw the eldest grandson of the Holy Dragon once again sternly dismissing a teenage golden dragon who wanted to go with him to welcome his sister.

"Get out!"

The eldest grandson of Shenglong, who used to show a gentle and generous image, showed an image and attitude that was completely different from usual after coming into contact with his sister.

He was like a money-guarding dragon who was afraid, worried, or angry that his treasure was being peeped and coveted.

That aggressive and vigilant posture made many dragons have a different perception of the eldest grandson of the Holy Dragon. Even Jetton, who had just been scolded and had some thoughts, now calmed down.

He was not the only one who was reprimanded. The treatment of the gold dragons was the same as his, and even more severe. As a red dragon, what else could he think about? There was no difference. Everyone was the same.

"Nancy, don't be afraid, your brother is here."

He looked around at the many dragons present with a warning look, and just when he turned to look at his timid sister, the eldest grandson of the Holy Dragon, Xizel, regained his usual gentleness, and his eyes were even gentler than usual. He came in front of his sister, spread his dragon wings, and blocked his sister behind him.

"Brother will protect you."

"Uh-huh!"

A familiar and warm breath rushed in, instantly eliminating the uneasiness and anxiety in the Ice Dragon Nancy's heart.

As a half-dragon who was raised by her mother since birth, Nancy is a bit cowardly and timid, and lacks some independent opinions.

This was not her own problem, but was due to the influence of her mother, who was the ice and snow lord from the northern polar regions.

As a crystal dragon obsessed with adopting and taming white dragons, Crystal Dragon's past experiences inevitably had an impact on the issue of educating his children.

Even though she was more careful and gentle in treating her daughter, she habitually wanted to plan everything for her daughter, including her personality, cognition and thoughts.

Although Teramus, as a father, discovered this in time and corrected it at the cost of a conflict with his mother, the character and behavioral habits shaped by the experiences of the past nearly twenty years are not so easy to change and require other richer experiences to enrich.

After this, the biggest influence on Nancy was her meeting her grandfather Noah, who was known as the Holy Dragon and had become the ruler of the Zealandia continent.

She knew that she had a very powerful golden dragon grandfather, which could be seen from her father, but she didn't know that her grandfather was so noble and majestic, like a god in heaven.

Her mother ignored this intentionally or unintentionally, rarely or even deliberately avoided mentioning the existence of her grandfather.

Because this will affect the mother's authority in education and her status in her daughter's heart. The mother only wants to be the first in her daughter's heart, and preferably the only one.

Unfortunately, a small lord of the northern ice field could not possibly have the exclusive right to educate a descendant of the holy dragon, nor did he have the power to arrange his dragon life.

As the granddaughter of the Holy Dragon, Nancy was destined to be born noble. The influence of her mother's authoritarian education on her was only temporary. When her father noticed it, everything changed.

Her grandfather, who was as brilliant and blazing as the sun in the sky and seemed to be able to shine his light upon all living things, left an indelible impression on Nancy.

Both her father and grandfather easily destroyed the lofty image that her mother had painstakingly created in her heart.

Facing an angry father, no matter how much the mother wanted to fight him, she seemed so weak and powerless. The father didn't need to do anything, he only needed to look at her to take her away from her mother.

As for my grandfather, there is no need for comparison. Even the oldest glaciers in the polar ice fields, even those that have not melted for billions of years, once placed under the sun, will eventually be melted by the sun.

Therefore, Nancy did not have much resistance to her grandfather's arrangement for her to study at the Dragon Academy. Instead, she had many expectations. However, because she had never communicated with little dragons of the same age before, she felt extremely nervous about this.

Under the guidance of the professor of the academy, Nancy stepped off the airship and saw the Dragon Academy that her grandfather had strongly recommended. The secret place composed of floating cloud islands was dreamlike, magnificent and colorful. It was indeed as beautiful as she had imagined.

However, according to her communication with her father, the only one who came to greet her should be her brother, but she saw too many dragons.

Although the brother whom he had never met was very easy to identify, the dragon beside him was too terrifying. It was actually the most evil and tyrannical red dragon.

In addition to the red dragon, there are also many metal dragons. Although most of these dragons look quite friendly, there are some that make Nancy feel quite uncomfortable.

Because she felt that the dragons were not looking at her, but at some rare treasure, or the legendary Stairway to the Gods. The greed and desire in them made Nancy feel disgusted instinctively.

It was not until she saw her brother come to her and spread his dragon wings to protect her that she felt a sense of security that was similar to that of her mother, but completely different.

The sense of security her mother brought her was oppressive and even a little suffocating, but the sense of security her brother brought her was relaxing and natural.

This completely different feeling inevitably caused a crazy feeling to grow in the heart of the young dragon Nancy, who left her mother's dragon wings for the first time.

"Come with me. I have contacted an ancient silver dragon elder with a very gentle temper. I have prepared a dragon nest for you next to her castle. You can live there."

César's cognition was reshaped. He recalled his father's instructions and warnings. Unlike his previous indifference, César now agreed very much with his father's point of view.

And he has realized that protecting his sister from certain greedy dragons that are approaching with a purpose is a very difficult and long-term task, and it is not that easy.

The first time he saw his sister, Xizel knew that his sister was a very naive young dragon. She was protected or managed too well. Such dragons were too polite and sometimes didn't know how to refuse requests with obvious malice and ill intentions. This was very bad. Xizel had made up his mind that for a period of time, he would stay by his sister's side and would never let any male other than himself approach his sister until his sister had the independence and discrimination ability of an adult dragon.

"Live near Professor Gu Yinlong?"

Although his father had told him before leaving that he could choose to trust and follow his brother's arrangements, the little guy, who had not seen much of the world, was stunned when he heard his brother's specific arrangements.

Although I have seen my grandfather and realized that no matter how many ordinary ancient dragons are added together, they are not as good as my grandfather, but it is still an ancient dragon after all. For the young dragons, the symbol and status of the ancient dragon are different.

For the upper dragons, legendary dragons are not necessarily ancient dragons, but ancient dragons are definitely legendary dragons. Only dragons that have lived for more than 800 years can be called ancient dragons.

This title symbolizes wisdom and strong will. Too many dragons died for various reasons before they became ancient dragons.

Even if a dragon lives to be 800 years old, it is not necessarily an ancient dragon. There is still an extremely difficult hurdle to overcome. Before becoming an ancient dragon, the physiological process of the dragon race is to follow the most basic life cycle of birth, aging, illness and death.

From a chick that hatches out of its shell, growing into a teenager, a young adult, and then an adult, after passing the peak of middle age, the dragon's spirit continues to grow, but its physical strength begins to decline and it enters aging.

After passing through old age and extreme old age, the dragons, who have aged to the extreme, will fall into a deep sleep, just like the several times they had crossed age groups before.

This sleep is different from the previous ones. Instead, one needs to challenge the ancient dragon's deadline. If successful, one can be reborn from death, allowing the aging dragon body to regain vitality, restore the vitality of its prime time, and become stronger than its prime time.

If he fails, he will fall into eternal sleep, and his 800-year dragon life will come to an end.

For the lower dragons, the Ancient Dragon Deadline is a challenge that concerns life and death. For example, even if the black and white dragons become extremely old dragons, less than one in ten can become an ancient dragon.

But for superior dragons like the gold, silver and red dragons, they were already legends before they challenged the ancient dragon limit. Their higher level of senses and cognition allowed them to cross the limit in a very calm and elegant manner and become ancient dragons easily.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that it is easy for the upper dragon clan to cross the ancient dragon limit. They still need challenges. There are also upper dragon clans who have failed in this level, but it is very rare.

Therefore, any ancient dragon is worthy of respect - except for the black and white dragons. Even if they become ancient dragons, they are still a long way from becoming legends, and they are so weak that even dragon slayers want to laugh.

"What's wrong? Don't you like it? Oh, yes, I almost forgot that you are not a pure crystal dragon. Maybe I should place you near Professor Gu Jinlong."

Xizel reacted with an apologetic look in his eyes, but he soon became a little conflicted because his sister had two opposing attributes, and neither the gold dragon nor the silver dragon seemed quite suitable.

"No, I like it very much, but can all students in the academy live with professors?"

Nancy asked with a little curiosity. As far as she knew, there were only nine ancient dragon professors in the academy.

"Of course not. This is the residence I specifically applied for from the college."

"So, brother, do you also live next to the professor?"

"Like other students, I live on an island suitable for fire dragons."

"Then I want to live with you, brother. I don't need any special treatment."

"No."

Hearing his sister's request, Xizel hesitated for a moment, but after glancing at the red dragon Zetton beside him, as a qualified brother, he very rationally and firmly rejected his sister's request.

"Your accommodation location has already been decided, how can you change it at will?"

"All right!"

Hearing her brother's tough tone, Nancy, who had originally wanted to be like other students and not receive any special treatment, softened and could only follow her brother to her own residence.

After a long time of busying around, he arranged his sister's accommodation, took her on a tour of the academy to let her know the public facilities and basic courses in the academy, and then Xizel returned to the Dragon's Nest with some worry.

"Jedon!"

After returning to his residence, the exhausted Xizel did not rush to rest, but summoned the red dragon immediately.
"I'm sorry, but today is the first time I've met my sister. You should be able to tell that she and I do not have the same mother.

But even so, she is still my sister, so I will protect her and I won't let any dragon hurt her, do you understand?"

"clear."

After being alone for a day, Jetton nodded numbly and confusedly. He actually didn't understand.

Because he had never experienced the harmonious and intimate family atmosphere and environment of the Metal Dragon Clan, where brothers and sisters get along harmoniously and are united.

He was a red dragon whose eggshell was snatched away by his own sister when he was just born, and he almost starved to death. How could he understand the unity between brothers and sisters?
"Why are you apologizing to me?"

The Red Dragon didn't quite understand this.

"My attitude today is a bit grumpy."

Cesar explained.

In fact, the eldest grandson of the Holy Dragon was somewhat surprised by his reaction today.

"I can understand that."

Jaden had seen how his fellow metallic dragons at the academy got along, and he had been extremely envious of that, since he didn't have that.

"No, I'm afraid it's a little hard for you to understand, but I just want to tell you that the first time I saw my sister, I had the dragon I wanted to protect the most."
