Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

How big can the influence of legends be?

The simplest and most direct one is the distribution of benefits. No matter where a legend is, even in a kingdom, he will immediately have a corresponding title and fiefdom. If he wants, he can establish a grand duchy on the spot.

One person can establish a country. This is legend.

Noah couldn't imagine how comfortable his adoptive father's life would be once he was promoted to a legend. After all, his biological parents were not legends yet. They were just adult golden dragons.

"Noah, I came here to discuss something with you."

"Uncle, just say it."

Noah was a little confused, but he still spoke. He really couldn't think of what he could have that he wanted his adoptive father to discuss with him.

"I have solved part of the population problem in the territory."

"Did you use the method I gave you?"

The golden dragon's eyes lit up.

"The nobles in the capital didn't have a good impression of me. On the way back, I found that there were many landless refugees in many noble territories. I reached an agreement with these nobles that they would not stop these refugees from leaving."

Cassius smiled and explained.

"This is because your prestige is high now, uncle."

Noah understood what was going on as soon as he heard it. Refugees can also create value for nobles, but they can also be exploited and squeezed.

If there is not enough prestige, or if the nobles don't want to please the adoptive father in front of them, I'm afraid these agreements will not be so easy to reach. After all, this is a real benefit.

"Since last month, there have been adventure groups escorting refugees and arriving in the territory one after another."

"This is a good thing!"

The adoptive father said it lightly, but Noah knew that the operation was not simple. The large-scale migration of refugees would undoubtedly cost huge manpower and material resources. Even if the nobles on the road gave face, they could not send people to escort them all the way. The adoptive father still had to pay for it himself.

"Not only that, I have also reached an agreement with some slave traders, and they will also send slaves regularly."

"Yeah."

Noah frowned, but didn't say anything.

Although slavery is a primitive and backward system, it is also a way for the borderland to supplement the population.

What's more, in the current era, slavery is widely present all over the world. It is okay to criticize it, but if you want to abolish it, it is against the trend of the times.

"Now the population of the territory has increased a lot. I originally planned to expand the city of Uther, but Selena stopped me and suggested to me that it would be better to re-plan and build a new city."

"Does this new city have anything to do with me?"

Noah understood.

"I have discussed it with her. Selena believes that the foot of the mountain is the most suitable location for building a new city. The terrain here is flat enough, and there is a river."

Cassius pointed to the foot of the mountain and explained to Noah at the same time.

"Well, I have no objection to choosing the new city at the foot of the mountain, but I want to participate in the design of the new city."

Noah certainly would not raise any objections. This is his territory, and he came to ask for his opinion before choosing the site, which was already very respectful. However, although he agreed, Noah still had a request.

"You want to participate in the design? Sure, but you have to discuss it with Selena, she is in charge of this matter."

Noah's request was naturally nothing in Cassius's eyes. The reason why he came to ask the young dragon's opinion was that the young dragon had previously shown great disgust and resistance to human cities.

"Okay!"

Noah asked to participate in the design just to see if the new city setting included an underground sewage and water distribution system. If not, it must be added. He could not tolerate the open-air manure field of humans outside the dragon's nest.

"Xiaolong, you have the same idea as me. I've had enough of Uther's broken city. The reckless men of the Augustus family don't know how to run and build it. This time, I will definitely design a city that can be lived in."

When the veiled lord's wife climbed onto the dragon's nest and listened to Noah's ideas about the design of the new city, she immediately sighed.

"It seems that I don't need to explain."

Looking at the female mage surrounded by the elemental light in front of him, Noah breathed a sigh of relief, and then carefully looked at the lord's wife, who was also his nominal adoptive mother.

He had little contact with this adoptive mother, and he could only say that he knew her. There is no need to say much about the figure and appearance of this adoptive mother. With the figure and face of a girl, some people would believe that she is Teddel's sister.

"Tell me what you think. I'm curious about what kind of cognition dragons have about the construction of cities."

"My idea is this..."

Because this is a city standing at the door of his own dragon's nest, Noah is very dedicated. More importantly, he wants to see if the golden tree will give him feedback if he participates in the design and construction of a city.

"Hmm, it's a very good idea, but it's too difficult to implement..."

Selena listened patiently. She was mainly curious, but after listening, the young and beautiful face of the lord's wife showed surprise, and then rejected Noah's idea.

"Construction needs to consider the cost. This is not building a floating city. Economical and practical is the first factor."

"Okay, but the city must be clean and tidy."

Noah, of course, gave suggestions according to the city standards in his memory.

In the extraordinary world where magic exists, all wild ideas can be realized, even building a sky city can be done, but the cost must be considered.

"This is what I want too."

Although many ideas were rejected, it must be said that the cooperative design with the lord's wife was still pleasant. The only thing that troubled Noah was that as he became more and more familiar with the lord's wife, the lord's wife no longer maintained a dignified and elegant posture, but became a little presumptuous.

"Little dragon, you smell so good, let your aunt hug you."

"I refuse!"

The golden dragon will emit a mixed incense smell. Among the many dragon species, the smell of the golden dragon is indeed the best. It is normal to win the love of some humanoid women.

The reason why Noah refused is because the lord's wife's hands are not honest. The foster mother will touch his whole body, and then quietly pull out those dragon scales that are not firm and are about to fall off.

The scales of the golden dragon are definitely a material that a spellcaster cannot refuse, or dream of.

"I want to sleep!"

When the underground design of the new city was basically completed, Noah slipped directly into the dragon's nest to avoid the entanglement of his foster mother. Although the foster mother would stuff a handful of elemental crystals into his mouth when she plucked his dragon scales, this made Noah feel very strange.
