Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 156 - 126: Do I Look Like I’m Good at Taking Care of Kids?

Noah couldn’t believe that the Silver Dragon would dress up in such a flamboyant manner, the kind of ostentatious style that could attract the attention of noble maidens simply by appearance, attire, and a unique roguish charm. This was exactly what the Silver Dragons loved.

What the Golden Dragon couldn’t believe was that he couldn’t sense the presence of a fellow dragon from this ostentatious minstrel. From his perspective, the guy looked entirely human.

"If it weren’t for this sad incident, meeting such an outstanding Golden Dragon juvenile like you would truly be a delightful thing, worth crafting a song about."

Noah’s gaze prompted a response and attention from the Ancient Silver Dragon. The minstrel, who appeared extremely flamboyant, showed Noah a gentle smile like a spring breeze.

But facing such a smile, Noah deliberately averted his gaze, refusing to confront this ancient dragon. Because behind this smile, there was a supernatural effect capable of influencing the mind. Although there was no malice, it wasn’t exactly benevolent either.

To any humanoid female, this smile would inevitably evoke some affection for this flamboyant ancient dragon.

"I am a juvenile dragon, not a hatchling."

Though refusing to confront the ancient dragon, Noah still defended his identity with a remark.

Logically speaking, given his age, he should be a young dragon. Unfortunately, his third transformation was still far off, and Noah had not yet felt the urge to slumber, nor did he know how much longer his juvenile phase would last.

"To me, there’s no difference."

The ancient dragon’s words naturally left Noah speechless. This ancient dragon probably lived nearly a thousand years, and for someone of such an old age, juvenile and young dragons were indistinguishable.

The arrival of the Ancient Silver Dragon immediately gave the many Metal Dragons gathered in Noah Territory a backbone.

Dragons are arrogant creatures, and Metal Dragons are prime exemplars of this. Even when there is a significant power gap, it’s difficult for weaker dragons to follow orders from a stronger dragon.

Not to mention when the strengths are equal. Thus, the many dragons gathered in Noah’s territory previously appeared chaotic to Noah.

Even the Extremely Old Dragons had no say until the arrival of Ancient Silver Dragon Naberius, which changed the situation, causing the dragon group to finally come together as one.

However, this situation is only temporary. Only now, under special circumstances, can the Ancient Silver Dragon use its power and experience to command other Metal Dragons. Once the event concludes, the various dragon groups will disperse like wind-blown clouds, returning to their places, ignoring the commands of the ancient dragon unless paid.

For dragons, wealth and treasure are of immense significance, and even ancient dragons can’t ignore this.

The reason for saying this is that the first thing the Ancient Silver Dragon did upon presiding over the meeting was distribute Silver Dragon Raphael’s inheritance.

This is a very serious matter. However, the dragon group isn’t coveting the assets of a mere mature Silver Dragon because any Metal Dragon qualified to attend the meeting has accumulated wealth greater than Silver Dragon Raphael’s.

Those unfamiliar with Metal Dragons might stereotype them as petty in avenging their kin, but such narrow-mindedness would not have led to the Metal Dragons’ current prosperity and influence.

Even if they drained all of Silver Dragon Raphael’s wealth, it would only pay for the appearance fees of three to five old dragons, let alone the ancient ones.

In fact, when avenging a dead kin, Metal Dragons do not charge fees, adhering to a voluntary and non-compensatory principle.

Hence, distributing Silver Dragon Raphael’s inheritance isn’t about sharing it among the present dragons, but rather giving it to his widow and only daughter, who are the first inheritors of his wealth.

"Golden Dragon Noah should receive a portion from this wealth. Before entrusting his wife and daughter to Noah, Raphael did not pay any treatment fees for them. This is because Raphael didn’t foresee his demise in this unjust battle..."

Noah, having the right to attend the meeting for providing the venue, didn’t expect the ancient dragon to start the conversation with him at the center.

Facing the gazes of many old dragons, Noah instinctively wanted to modestly decline,

"It was just lifting a curse; I didn’t spend much time. Better leave the money for Raphael’s wife and daughter."

"But I heard you called upon your adoptive mother, a powerful legendary lady, for help. Is that something to overlook?"

A voice from an old dragon chimed in,

"Young dragon, don’t refuse. This is your rightful compensation and one of the basic principles our Metallic Dragon Race abides by to this day. Everyone has to follow it.

Even Raphael, seeing this allocation, would be satisfied. As his father, I don’t want my son dying with burdens of unpaid debts and a reputation of not settling them."

"Are you Raphael’s father? My apologies!"

Noah looked at this unassuming elderly man, suddenly surprised. He truly didn’t know that this old dragon could be so reserved, wandering around his territory and even engaging in conversation without revealing his identity.
