Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 75 Pilgrimage
"Your Highness, a group of paladins claiming to be the Shining Shield requests to see you!"

Noah raised his head slightly, heard the elf's report, and waved his paw weakly.

"Got it, let them in!"

"Shifraya, this is the nth group of paladins who wants to meet me this month?"

“This is the eighth one.”

"profound!"

Jin Long actually knew it very well, how could he forget it? These professional groups whose beliefs were extremely close to Jin Long's, or even overlapped with his, would often become Jin Long's helpers.

Paladins are a particularly special profession. They have firm beliefs and a pursuit of the highest good. They are keen on maintaining order and stability, and will firmly commit themselves to the war against evil.

In the most difficult times, if you meet a paladin, as long as he is not an evil creature, you can basically trust him unconditionally, even if you did not know him before.

Normally, as a golden dragon, Noah should not exclude the holy warriors, but the problem is that these groups of holy warriors who come to visit him are all here to gain some experience, and borrowing the teleportation array is not their main purpose.

The reason why so many holy warriors gathered here was very simple, that was the undead scourge that was suppressed single-handedly by his adoptive father Cassius.

Although the ancient black dragon and a group of legendary undead were all wiped out, there were still a large number of high-level undead and countless low- and middle-level undead. Although these undead could not cross the barrier of the Valley of Fire, their existence was also a huge hidden danger.

Therefore, many holy warriors who had heard of the deeds of the Holy Dragon Slayer came forward on their own initiative, ready to assist the Augustus family in clearing out the remaining undead creatures and strangling this horrific disaster underground to prevent it from threatening the creatures on the ground.

If one wants to go to the Valley of Fire, then the city of Elishim is a must-go place. The holy warrior needs to use the teleportation array, otherwise he will need to cross three hundred kilometers of wilderness.

But after the paladin arrived in the city, he only needed to take a quick stroll and naturally would think of visiting the archon.

This was because the chief governor of this huge city was actually the Golden Dragon. Although he was in power together with the Duke's heir and the legendary son, his presence was completely negligible in front of the Golden Dragon, who was just a young dragon.

Even though the paladins have traveled far and wide and are knowledgeable, and some have even traveled to other material planes by chance, even the most experienced paladins have never seen a young dragon in power.

Elishim is not an unknown village or a small town, but the undisputed largest city on the border of the Kingdom of Erestoria. It can accommodate a population of one million, and the population living on the land under its jurisdiction is several times that number.

Such a big city, such a vast land, and a dense population, its ruling power actually falls into the hands of a young dragon. Even though it is a golden dragon, it still feels incredible.

You know, the area of ​​this land and the population size are exactly the standards of a grand duchy, except that it is not independent. In fact, it is not much different, it just lacks independence.

"Hiss, is this the Holy Dragon? It's so small!"

"Is this really a baby dragon? Judging from its size, it looks like a juvenile dragon!"

"Young dragon, young dragon, is there any difference? Even if it were us humans, it would be too outrageous for such an age to rule!"

"The Augustus family trusts the Golden Dragon too much."

"I heard that this is the adopted son of the sacred dragon slayer. If there was no clear news that the legendary dragon slayer possessed some kind of powerful bloodline, I would have suspected that this golden dragon was the legendary illegitimate son!"

The group of holy warriors who were received by Noah saw the golden dragon leading a group of fairies to handle official business as soon as they stepped into the hall. The slender golden dragon, only 14 meters long, was perched on the high platform, with its head bowed while working, and at the same time, it manipulated three quills to write on the parchment scroll, making various instructions, doing three things at once.

Beside him, the goblins used their meager magic power to transport away the documents that had already been approved, and at the same time sent the documents that had not yet been processed to the quill pen.

In addition, there are three big goblins whose styles and behaviors are exactly the same as the golden dragon. However, in front of such a special golden dragon, their presence seems very weak.

"No rudeness!"

The leading paladin cast a stern look at the young people who were whispering behind him, and immediately, all the noise disappeared.

Then, the holy warrior, whose eyes were full of stories and whose face was full of vicissitudes, took the initiative to step forward a few steps, looked at the golden dragon that had already cast its gaze towards him, put one hand on his chest, and bowed slightly.

"Sir Noah, I am Bartolo Haines, the leader of the Shining Shield. Please forgive the offense and misconduct of these rude juniors."

“It’s okay. I’m used to it. You are not the first group of paladins I have met. Most of the paladins would be surprised by my authority.

But it’s nothing, I just assist the first heir of this territory in handling official business, I’m not the real ruler.”

Noah waved his dragon claw generously. He had seen the same scene countless times.

His current condition was indeed beyond common sense and cognition, and even the Holy Knight could not help but murmur a few words.

"But you are no different from the real ruler. All government orders must be approved by you."

Bartlo couldn't help but said it in his heart, but didn't say it out loud.

"If you want to go to the Valley of Fire, you can go directly to the teleportation hall. I have instructed that anyone who can prove their identity as a holy warrior can use the teleportation array for free without paying any fees."

Noah's attitude was extremely gentle, and the orders he issued sounded somewhat contrary to the nature of dragons.

But in reality, paladins act on a voluntary basis, so they fight evil without charging anyone a commission.

No matter how greedy the dragons are, they are suppressed by the golden dragon's nature of advocating justice, and Noah cannot charge this group of people who pursue justice.

“Thank you for your generosity. If there is an opportunity, I would like to discuss your work with you, if you have the time.”

"The Book of Noah? Of course."

The Golden Dragon agreed immediately. Of course he would not refuse. In fact, if he did not need to maintain his dignity as a Golden Dragon, he really wanted to give a copy of the Book of Noah to every holy warrior.

The silver dragon promoted the Book of Noah everywhere, and Noah had already tasted the joy of it.

If these groups of holy warriors attracted by his adoptive father, after solving the plague of the undead, went to various parts of the continent and promoted the doctrine everywhere like the silver dragon did.

The picture is so beautiful that I dare not imagine it.
