Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 149 - 122 Dragon Dad, Please Change for Me_2

"Do you have any ideas? Have you cultivated the original form?"

Upon hearing this, Tidel was instantly intrigued and eagerly inquired.

"Not at the moment, but if I mention the names of a few monsters, you’ll understand."

"What?"

"Terror Claw Beast, Swift Dragon, Fierce Tyrannosaurus!"

"You’re planning to fuse the traits of these monsters into a brand new dragon beast?"

Tidel quickly grasped Noah’s idea.

"Yes, but it’s quite challenging, so it’s not yet underway."

"Simply merging these monsters’ traits isn’t enough. To serve as a knight’s mount, ferociousness isn’t the most important on the battlefield. It must have enough intelligence to understand orders and cooperate in battle; otherwise, it’s better off dead."

"I know, it needs a certain level of basic intelligence but without rebellious tendencies, able to follow commands, gentle to its master, and brutal to its enemies.

On this foundation, we can continue to enhance its battlefield prowess. Otherwise, it’ll just be a newly created troublesome monster."

Noah also felt a bit of a headache; having the idea was one thing, but achieving it was too difficult.

"Keep it up, I have faith in you. You’re a genius in the entire domain; maybe you should try it now."

Tidel suggested,

"The battlefield is the best testing ground."

"I’ll give it a try."

Noah nodded, though he was preparing to conquer the entire Elidis Mountain range, it was not something achievable overnight.

Since this mountain range had no true beast king, defeating the strongest monsters wouldn’t make the larger beasts and monster clans below submit.

That doesn’t exist.

The complex and changing terrain of the mountains ensured that the power nurtured there was diverse and dispersed. To conquer it meant advancing from one peak to another.

However, Noah was in no hurry, for he could gain strength from this destined long-lasting war.

"Blood Origin Fruit, it’s been a long time!"

Seeing the buds gradually blooming on the branches of the Golden Tree, the Golden Dragon couldn’t help but feel joy.

Although his foster mother led a grand conquest war against the Dark Territory, Noah had nothing to do with it and didn’t get a share of the spoils. But now things were different.

This war to turn nominal land into actually controlled territory would feed Noah’s Golden Tree with nutrients with every battle, every fight, and every monster felled by the conqueror’s blade.

Not just Blood Origin Fruit, but also Purple Spirit Fruit.

This was a war aimed at conquest, not slaughter. If Noah encountered creatures that appealed to him and were willing to surrender, he wouldn’t mind taking them under his wing.

Those who voluntarily submitted and became vassal servants of the Golden Dragon brought endless nourishment for the growth of the Purple Spirit Fruit.

Unfortunately, Noah didn’t accept just any creature; the recruitment standards for servants of the Golden Dragon were relatively high. He didn’t give a glance to the likes of gnolls, battle lizards, and trolls, who were only fit to become souls under the butcher’s knife, their blood nourishing the growth of the fruit tree.

If there were Dragon Lions or Dragon Cats, dragon species like these, Noah would be willing to spend extra time to personally subdue them, even if they were strong-willed and unwilling to easily surrender.

This wasn’t for any other reason than these dragon beasts having a beautiful appearance that met the majestic and mighty aesthetics of the Golden Dragon, pleasing to the eye!

If it were multi-headed dragons, mud swamp dragons, or snake dragons, that would be a different treatment.

No matter how willing they were to kneel, Noah would unleash Word Spirit·Candle Sun, assisted by the Sun God Wheel, to blast them to pieces.

However, besides the Blood Origin Fruit and Purple Spirit Fruit, which made the dragon uncontrollably happy, there was also the Dark Fruit that Noah extremely loathed, growing wildly, its growth rate not inferior to the other two fruits.

With war inevitably comes death, and it’s not just the creatures of the conquered mountains; even Noah’s Cloud Giants and Knight Order suffered casualties.

Those who died in battle because of Noah’s decisions provided nourishment for the Dark Fruit’s growth.

"I don’t wish to ignite war lightly, but the mountain monsters and barbarians do not submit to the king’s rule!"

Looking at the Dark Fruit, which made large areas of leaves dull on the Golden Tree, Noah sighed repeatedly, but obviously, the Golden Tree wouldn’t listen to his explanations. The fruit continued its wild growth, even more thriving than the other two fruits.

"Even if I must bear the pain of your suffering, I shall ensure all the mountains bow beneath my dragon wings!"

Despite the appearance of the Dark Fruit, Noah had no thoughts of negative retreat.

He didn’t want to be a lone dragon, but a lord dragon with his vassals and legion. Thus, he had to take responsibility, and he felt capable of bearing it all.

The news of the battles in the mountains soon spread beyond the forests, and the war initiated by the Holy Dragon seized much attention and stirred great excitement among the adventurers active in the territory of Augustus.

Given sufficient rewards, these fellows would even dare venture into the Dark Territory. How much more could the mountains they were familiar with?

"Since they are so eager to join, let them in!"

As for the enthusiasm of the adventurers, Noah naturally wouldn’t reject them. He wasn’t a dragon to be stingy with rewards and was willing to award land from his domain to powerful transcendents—provided he found them pleasing.

"Dragon Dad, I want in too."

"Uncle, I also want to join the battle." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

When adventurers began entering the mountains in droves, a brother and sister also came seeking him.

Noah pondered briefly and agreed. Not only that, but they also brought another pair of dragon siblings, Red Dragon Bar and his sister Aurora.

Thus, Noah saw an interesting feedback from the Golden Tree, which was the Red Dragon recruiting battle lizard tribes.

It must be admitted that Red Dragons have an inherent advantage beyond compare among other dragon species when recruiting these monster tribes, labeled as evil by humans.

Even young dragons could gain these monster tribes’ willingness to surrender and serve, despite having the potential to hunt dragons, they still chose to submit.

"Dragon Dad, these two dragons are acting on their own, even though they are just young dragons displaying such ambition. Should I kill them?"

The girl embracing the dragon tail saw the scene emerging in the water mirror in front of her, murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

She had been taught well, but she wasn’t a flower grown in a greenhouse; her grandmother’s lessons included field combat training.

"No need, don’t you find it interesting?"

Noah rejected the girl’s suggestion.

Though these two Red Dragon hatchlings displayed ambition, they posed no threat to Noah. Instead, they provided Noah with a feedback of purple energy, as they recruited slaves, remarkably counting towards him.

This intrigued Noah enough to make the decision to allow it not surprising.

Being a Golden Dragon, he certainly couldn’t accept evil monsters, but wasn’t it normal for his Red Dragon slaves to keep some?

The slave of my slave is not my slave?

Finding amusement in the thought, Noah couldn’t help but smile.

"Indeed, very interesting."

Seeing the furtively peeking young dragons, the girl also smiled, then casually asked,

"By the way, Dragon Dad, Uhl told me he once saw you transform into a human shape? I called him a liar, and he said I was ignorant. Is it true?"

"Barely, I suppose."

Noah replied nonchalantly.

"You’ve really changed into a human?"

"Yes, why?"

It was then the Golden Dragon sensed something amiss, looking at the girl on his dragon tail, who fluttered her long eyelashes, showing an aggrieved expression,

"But I’ve never seen it, it’s not fair; I want to see you in your human form too."

"I have never turned into a human!"

"Then you can try now. Your human form must be very handsome."
