Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 74: Solo Dragon Slayer, Holy Purifier

"Your Highness Noah!"

The blue rain of light dotted around the fairy's wings fluttered down in a beautiful manner. This creature, which was perfect except for its size, now looked timid and shy, and seemed a little nervous.
"Can I really?"

"You can do it. I believe in you."

Noah's dark golden dragon eyes were filled with trust. As he spoke, the golden dragon stuffed the pen in his claws into Sifrea's arms. The big fairy held the big pen, which was almost as long as her height, and her body suddenly fell down. The blue butterfly wings behind her flapped much faster.

"It's actually not difficult to handle these documents. It's very simple. You just need a day or two to get used to it."

Entering the Duke's mansion, Noah, who had been dealing with official documents for two days, encouraged his subordinates.

He finally understood why Teddel had the nerve to stop him, because the workload was too heavy and extremely complicated, but it had to be dealt with in a timely manner.

In name, Taidel now only needs to manage the city of Elishim, but the many towns and villages under the jurisdiction of this city are also under its jurisdiction.

Not only that, the city of Elishim is the main city of the Augustus family's territory. Other new cities in the territory, as well as requests from many vassal nobles, will also be sent to the Duke's mansion.

This also requires Tidel and Noah to handle it. It sounds good to control the highest ruling authority in the Dukedom, but actually using this authority is another matter.

Administrative affairs reported by city officials at all levels and vassal nobles, regular reports on training by the reserve forces of major knightly orders, and taxation and food reserves in the territories... When residents of towns and villages are harassed and attacked by roaming wild beasts and monsters, how to dispatch knights to suppress the rebellion.

As the overlord, he was also responsible for mediating conflicts between vassal nobles, adjudicating their contradictions, and from time to time dealing with requests from newly-appointed nobles for people, money, and food.

The accumulation of so many different matters made the official business pile up like a mountain. What annoyed Long the most was that even if he dealt with it all on the first day, another batch would appear on the desk on the second day.

The flow was endless and there seemed no end to it, so after two days of patience, on the third day, Noah could no longer bear it and called down all three big goblins from the dragon's nest.

As his followers, it is time for them to play their due role. As great fairies, their intelligence is only higher than that of humans, and some official duties that can be responded to with formulaic templates can be completely handed over to them.

With the cooperation of the big goblin, Noah felt much more relaxed, but it was still not enough. Therefore, the carefree little goblins in the flower garden were noticed by Noah, and Jinlong selected the ones with stable personalities to stay and assist in the work.

From then on, Noah handled government affairs with ease. However, as a price to pay, the laughter in the flower garden disappeared, and all the little elves became unhappy and listless, with all their energy drained away.

Jin Long couldn't bear it, so he specially arranged a three-shift system for these little goblins. Of course, it was not a three-shift system that divided the day into three shifts, but the daytime working hours were divided into three groups, with three groups of elves taking charge of a part of it, taking turns, which was more in line with their playful and active nature.

But even so, these little fairies still complained bitterly. After all, in their previous lives, there was no concept of work at all. They were carefree every day, and their only responsibility was to eat, drink and have fun, and occasionally pick flowers to make honey and trim the greenhouse.

But Noah turned a blind eye to all this, and only had to work three hours a day, which was much easier than him and the big fairies. If he was soft-hearted, he would be the one who suffered. In comparison, he could only wrong these little guys, anyway, it was only temporary, they only had to endure it for a few years, and they would be able to return to their original lives.

Thanks to the efforts of Noah and a group of goblins, big and small, the order in the Augustus family's territory is running steadily on the right track. As for the implementation of new policies, Noah will not think about them for the time being. It will be good enough if he can do the things at hand well and avoid any mistakes.

Half a year after Noah assisted Tidel in maintaining the operation of the territory, a shocking piece of news came back from the Fire Valley at the forefront, like a howling hurricane, sweeping across the territory.

An ancient black dragon emitting an aura of decay led an almost endless tide of undead and attacked the fortress above the Valley of Fire. It was a catastrophe that was like a natural disaster.

On the marching route of the black dragon known as the Lord of the Undead, all living beings, whether on the ground or underground, were swallowed up and turned into members of the Undead Legion.

This is a horrific undead plague. Once it reaches the ground, the border area will be turned into a death zone. A mere 300 kilometers cannot delay it for too long given the speed at which the undead march.

However, it is very regrettable that this undead plague did not have the opportunity to sweep across the earth. The fortress standing above the Valley of Fire was an insurmountable natural barrier for the Undead Legion.

Not to mention the endless undead legions, even the source of the undead plague, the ancient black dragon that still retained some vitality, could not cross this fortress.

It was blown up!
Noah confirmed the news repeatedly and even got the photo stone sent back from the front line. The information he got was accurate.

The fallen black dragon, which exuded a decayed aura and had bones dotted around its body, was beaten to death by his adoptive father Cassius.

Even the huge dragon skull, which looked no different from a skeleton, was chopped off by his adoptive father with a big sword.

Solo Dragon Slayer
Although this is a fallen black dragon that would be despised and scorned by the dragon clan, it is undeniable that it is an ancient dragon that has been promoted to a legend and has mastered powerful necromancy.

Even without the protection of the Undead Legion, it would take at least four legends working together to have a chance of killing such an ancient dragon. But if the Undead Legion is added, it would be a different story.

However, Noah's adoptive father, under the watchful eyes of thousands of adventurers and slave-hunting groups sent out by many major forces, cut off the head of the black dragon with an almost crushing posture and under the siege of the undead army.

Suppressing the undead disaster caused by an ancient black dragon with one's own strength is a legendary feat that will be passed down on the continent for thousands of years.

Noah knew that from this day on, the name of his adoptive father Cassius would become an immortal monument, and bards would spread his deeds to all parts of the continent.

Not only within the kingdom, but also in neighboring countries and even more distant places, the story of the dragon slayer Cassius is spread, and perhaps the title of the Holy Purifier is also added.
