Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 7 Great Rebellion

When Noah walked out of the dragon's nest, he saw a tall and upright man at a glance. He was standing in the flower bed, quietly admiring the exotic flowers and plants swaying in the mountain breeze.

As a dragon, even if he is just a baby dragon that has been born for only a few years, Noah can crush all humans in terms of size alone.

But looking at this human who was smaller than himself, Noah had a strange feeling as if he was looking up at a mountain.

This is not an illusion, but the aura exuded by this man is so majestic that it can be compared with the continuous mountains. This is also the result of his restraint.

It was for this reason that, putting aside the title, Noah had no opinion about this adoptive father himself, because he was indeed extraordinary. Many times, including at this moment, Noah could not help but question the human ancestry of this adoptive father.

Is he really human?
Noah couldn't help but feel confused, and then looked at his adoptive father again.

The sunlight poured down from the sky, casting a golden glow on the man standing in front of the dragon's lair, making him look like a hero from an ancient legend.

His face was chiseled with clear contours, as if it was carved by a knife and an axe, strong and resolute. His thick black hair fell down, slightly messily draped over his shoulders, and his hair fluttered in the wind, adding a bit of wildness and arrogance.

He wore a cloak made of thick animal skin, with sharp metal ornaments on the edge, which shone coldly in the sun. Under the cloak was a set of light armor that fitted his body, and the strong muscle lines underneath were faintly visible, showing his extraordinary strength.

At his waist hung a broad sword with intricate patterns engraved on the scabbard. Even in the sun, one could see a faint flowing glow.

Outside the flower garden, there was a group of knights with dried blood on their armor waiting. These knights were completely different from the patrol knights that Taidel had brought with him a few days ago.

It's not just because they are wearing heavier armor, but also have many horrific claw marks and remaining flesh and blood on it, more importantly, the iron and blood aura emanating from them is as if they have just fought back from the battlefield of the abyss.

Their presence broke the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere in the flower garden, and filled the air with a depressing and solemn atmosphere.

If you don't know, you might think this is a legendary human hero who is leading his followers to complete the feat of slaying the dragon.

However, when Noah walked out of the dragon's nest, his eyes lit up when he saw the man in front of him, and he called out in an intimate tone,

"Uncle Cassius, you're back from hunting!"

"came back."

Seeing the young golden dragon walking out of the dragon's nest, the man turned his head to look, and then a gentle smile appeared on his still young and brave face.

It's just that the bloody aura on him is so thick that even when he smiles, people can't feel much kindness from him. Instead, there is a creepy feeling.

But Noah didn't care much, because he had already gotten used to it. He ignored the aura that was similar to the dragon's might and could faintly cause mental oppression to people, and came to Cassius with an expectant look on his face.

"What treasure did you bring me on this hunt?"

"I have gained a lot of prey and spoils on this trip. You can pick some and keep any you like."

Looking at Noah's expression and little movements, Cassius' smile grew even wider. He stretched out his hand and waved it gently, and one huge and terrifying remains of monsters after another appeared in front of Noah.

Manticore, Winged Serpent Dragon, Hundred-Eyed Demon Elder, Rakshasa Stone Beast, Mountain Troll King

Looking at these powerful monsters that exuded terrifying power even in death, Noah, who was originally expectant, was stunned for a moment, and then turned back and forth between the remains of these monsters and Cassius.

One after another, powerful monsters that were capable of dominating the wilderness appeared in front of Noah in the form of corpses. From these relatively intact remains, it can be seen that the one who kills them has an absolute combat advantage.

"What's wrong?" Cassius asked, noticing Noah's strange expression.

"You've made another breakthrough?"

Noah couldn't help it. Although he was young and had never been to any place except the Dragon's Nest, the inheritance from his bloodline was enough to ensure that his vision was limited, and he could recognize all these monsters.

Just by looking at the way these monsters died, he could tell that his adoptive father must have made a breakthrough in strength.

“There was indeed a small breakthrough.”

Cassius downplayed the words, but Noah felt uneasy when he heard them, and the way he looked at his adoptive father became different.

Because the irresponsible Golden Dragon father had mentioned in front of him that Cassius had already touched the edge of legend.

But that was the evaluation from two years ago. Now this adoptive father has made a small breakthrough again. What does that mean?
“You’ve become a legend?”

"It's not easy to become a legend."

Hearing Noah's question, Cassius burst out laughing.
"I'm still a little short!"

"How long will it take for you to become a legend?"

Noah asked quickly.

His biological parents were unreliable, so his greatest support now was his adoptive father. The more powerful his adoptive father was, the more comfortable his life would be. Just like what was happening right now, when he returned from hunting in the wilderness with his knights, the first person he thought of was him.

"I can't give you an exact time. Maybe I will be a legend tomorrow, or maybe in ten years. Maybe I will never be able to break the barrier in my lifetime. No one can say that they will definitely become a legend, except you, the dragon race."

Cassius' tone was calm and his attitude was gentle, just like a kind father.

"That's it."

Noah sighed in disappointment, but his spirits soon perked up again.

"But even if you are not a legend yet, the title of earl is not worthy of you. With your achievements and results, as long as you report to the capital, the old waste on the throne will definitely raise your title."

Noah had no respect for human monarchs, because even for monarchs, only those with good character were qualified to serve the golden dragon, and that was all.

If you want to gain the respect of dragons and the recognition of golden dragons, you must demonstrate outstanding talents and abilities that can leave a mark in history books.

However, despite Noah's contempt for the king, Cassius had no reaction. After all, as a border noble who had difficulty getting assistance from the kingdom, it was difficult for him to have any respect for the king to whom he nominally owed allegiance.

"That would only make him a marquis, not a duke. That doesn't meet your requirements."

Cassius couldn't help but tease Noah when he heard his suggestion. He knew exactly the source of the dragon's dissatisfaction.

"That's better than being an earl."

"To upgrade my title, I need to be re-ennobled, and I also need to go to the capital, which is a waste of time."
