Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 90 The Dragon Clan’s Adoption Tradition

"Okay, I get it. You are very dignified in front of your subordinates. You are an excellent and qualified Knight Commander."

Noah spread out the dragon wing on one side and flapped it gently twice, with a perfunctory look on his face.

"You guy..."

The young man was so angry at the golden dragon's gesture that he clenched his teeth, but his eyes fell on the gorgeous dragon wings involuntarily. He couldn't help but ask,
"What's up with these wings?"

"Of course it's newly grown. Could it be that I installed it?"

Although Noah didn't understand how these wings grew, the golden dragon was very satisfied with his new dragon wings. If the dragon clan held a similar competition to select the most beautiful dragon wings, he would definitely be the first to sign up.

"What do you think?"

"very beautiful."

Edith replied that as a woman's nature, she certainly liked beautiful things, but her relationship with the Golden Dragon was not as good as that with her partner, so she needed to maintain proper etiquette in every move.

"Yeah, I think it's very beautiful too."

Noah could also sense a slight sense of alienation from the half-elf girl's flawless behavior. After all, they did not grow up together, and only time could eliminate this strangeness and distance.

"I don't think it has the domineering power of the red dragon."

Tedder expressed a different opinion.

"Red Dragon?"

The golden dragon looked at the ignorant young man, and his dragon pupils narrowed slightly.
"Where have you seen a red dragon?"

"Of course, outside the border of the territory, my knights discovered the traces of a pair of adult red dragons. Before returning, I personally led people to check, and they were indeed adult red dragons building a nest."

Teddle raised his head with a hint of pride, and Edith beside him couldn't help but glance sideways.

"Why didn't you tell me about this?"

“Because it has just been confirmed.”

Teddel unconsciously turned his head away, avoiding his wife's gaze.

"Are you planning to defeat the red dragon?"

Edith seemed to know her partner very well.

"No, their range of activities does not border the territory. There is no need for me to provoke adult dragons for no reason."

The young man had to explain it solemnly.

"I want to join your crusade."

The half-elf girl completely ignored Taidel's explanation and spoke to herself.

"This is impossible."

Tedder flatly rejected it.

"You don't trust my sword?"

"This is not a question of whether or not to believe it. You are still pregnant with our child. How can you set foot on the battlefield to defeat the red dragon?"

"It doesn't affect the speed of my sword swing."

Edith said calmly, "Why don't you wait until the baby is born before you and your wife team up to defeat the red dragon?"

Noah couldn't stand it anymore and offered his own suggestion.
"Two adult red dragons appearing together must have entered the breeding season. It takes about three to five years for a red dragon to go from estrus to laying eggs. The male dragon will abandon the female dragon only after the eggs hatch. This is a long time, so there is no need to rush."

The Golden Dragon's words calmed the conflict between the couple. As for making them give up the idea of ​​attacking the Red Dragon, Noah had never intended to do so.

Although they are both dragon clans, the color dragon clan was killed, so what does that have to do with the metal dragon clan?

Noah was being very considerate by not sending giants to join the crusade.

Of course, as a member of the dragon clan, Noah still made demands on the couple.

"If there are dragon eggs, bring them to me!"

There's nothing special about it, it's just that the time in the mountains was too boring, and Noah wanted to find some fun in his dull life. Training red dragon cubs is a very good project.

This kind of adoption and training behavior is quite common among dragons. A typical example is that crystal dragons, which are also cold-type, will collect white dragon eggs. These crystal dragons, who are bored, are keen on training white dragons that do not conform to their ideals into the appearance they want.

This can be considered the best start for the white dragon, which is the shame of the dragon clan. Any crystal dragon is stronger than their biological parents.

If it is a colorful dragon, it would be extremely miserable. Among the colorful dragons, the blue dragons with family concepts and the green dragons who like to occupy a piece of mountains and forests will collect dragon eggs and dragon cubs that have no blood relationship with themselves.

But this kind of adoption is an exploitation relationship with a very clear purpose. The adopted color dragon must show its value after growing to a certain age, otherwise it will be ruthlessly abandoned.

But even if they have demonstrated their value, they will be exploited by the big dragons. That is exploitation without any bottom line. As long as they are not killed, they will be used to death. Therefore, the survival rate of such dragons is very worrying, but it is better than wandering in the wilderness.

Compared with the colorful dragons, adoption among metallic dragons is also quite frequent. Gold, silver, copper and other dragons are likely to raise each other's offspring. This is a kind of upbringing based on blood ties, and the family atmosphere will be very good.

Many times, adoptive parents do no worse than biological parents, and may even do better, such as Noah, but of course his case is an exception.

Under normal circumstances, his caregivers should be another pair of underage golden dragons, or perhaps a silver dragon. In any case, after he is born, there is no need to worry about his safety in his childhood.

There are cases of golden dragons adopting red dragons, but most of these adoptions are done with a bit of bad taste, or as an attempt at some possible experiment. Of course, no matter what, it is better than the red dragon's own biological parents.

"If there are red dragon eggs, I will definitely send them to you."

This was the promise that Teddel made after hearing Noah's request. Then, the couple left in a hurry just as they came. They didn't have much free time to waste now.

“So busy!”

Noah could only sigh like this as he watched the couple leave, but soon, he had no free time because the construction of the Mage Tower also began.

This time, Noah is not only involved as a designer, he will also join in the construction process, or the preliminary preparations for construction.

"Producing golems?!"

After hearing the clear request made by his adoptive mother, Noah suddenly had the urge to run away.

"Yes, otherwise what are you going to use as a builder to turn the grand blueprint you drew into reality?"

Serena looked as if it was a matter of course.

"Rely on those mortals? If you do this, even the evil dragons who like to plunder and destroy will seem very merciful compared to your actions."

"But asking us to build golems by hand is too much..."

"So we need to build golem production lines. We need to build at least three rock golem production lines and one steel golem production line. Once the production of these production lines meets the standards, we can start the construction of the Mage City you envisioned."
