Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

"Even if all the glory belongs to me and you get nothing, you don't care?"

Noah lowered his head and got closer to the fairy medicine elf. A hot stream mixed with the smell of special incense blew Holo's chestnut hair.

The pursuit of fame and fortune is the innate instinct of most creatures, because it can maximize the pleasure of the spirit and meet material needs, even the immortal species are no exception.

Many of the behavioral logics of the metal dragon clan are based on the words fame and fortune. Not to mention these secular creatures, even the so-called immortal gods are the same. The thing that gods fear most is that the secular world no longer spreads their names.

There are really few creatures who don't care about fame. You know, many heroes and sages can do those shocking actions because they are motivated by the reputation after death.

"Of course I care, but without your reputation, the research results of my grandfather and I are destined to be annihilated. Only mortals can use our hard work. No nobles or extraordinary people will care."

"Most people don't care, but there are still some who care."

Noah stretched out his dragon claws and pointed at Rafael, and then pointed at himself,

"For example, us."

"But you are dragons, aren't you? These are useless knowledge for you."

Holo said softly. Although she is also a human, she doesn't have high expectations for humans. Because she was abandoned at birth and grew up in the bottom, she has seen too much ugliness, of course, there are also many small beauties.

"In fact, the Book of Noah that I wrote can be spread because of the support of my adoptive parents. They are real humans."

Noah defended the human beings, but he also knew that the reason why his adoptive parents were willing to spread the Book of Noah was entirely because of his face. Because he wanted it, they were allowed.

"Please allow my ignorance. I am of low status. I only know that you are called the Holy Dragon, not your adoptive parents. I have never heard of their names."

"It is meaningless to argue about these. You think other humans don't care, but you do."

Noah no longer wastes time, but directly expresses his intentions.

"I am very interested in your research results and am willing to support you to continue. I can provide you with sufficient funds and material support.

And, from now on, all your results can be marked with your own name. So, are you willing to follow me?"

Golden Dragon is particularly confident, because he can't think of a reason for this human pharmacist to refuse. Whether it is fame or profit, or even a broader future, he can provide it. Who can not be attracted?

"I have to admit that the conditions you give me are very tempting, and I am also very tempted, but please allow me to offend. I want to refuse."

Hero was silent for a long time, and then slowly answered.

"Why?"

Golden Dragon couldn't understand, and Silver Dragon Rafar was also a little surprised. He couldn't figure out why this humble pharmacist would refuse Golden Dragon?

She could obviously get everything she needed from Jin Long. If she rejected Jin Long, what could she get? Who would appreciate a human pharmacist who was already thirty years old and used ordinary herbs to treat mortals?

"I am not needed here, but the town where I was born does."

This is the reason given by Holo.

"So, you want to go back to your hometown?"

Noah nodded slowly.

"The people there need me. I am the only pharmacist in Carmel. Without me, many elderly people would not be able to survive this winter. The climate there is very cold."

In order to verify the authenticity of his words, Holo took out a wrinkled booklet from the worn-out satchel on his waist and handed it to Jin Long.

Noah took it, opened it and glanced at it. Suddenly, he felt an emotion rising. He looked up at Holo.

[Martha, 57 years old, blurred vision, can't see clearly, use marigold and blue grass to make eye-clearing lotion, once a day]

[Smith, 46 years old, joint inflammation, most serious in cold and damp environment, use turpentine, ginger, tiger bone to make active oil, twice a day, relieve pain and inflammation]

[Helen, 83 years old, amnesia, use Echinacea and starflower to make memory tea to help improve her memory and keep her mind clear, once every three days]

[George, 68 years old, blood dryness...]

[...]

This booklet records the ages, symptoms, and drugs needed to be taken and the preparation methods of nearly a hundred mortals. Most of them are elderly people, and a small number are children and adults.

This can be said to be a collection of 100 cases. What surprised Noah was not only the detailed records above, but also those elderly patients.

Although the magic environment of his world is very favorable, it is not friendly to mortals who cannot master extraordinary powers.

Because there are too many monsters in the wilderness, sometimes not only monsters, but also too strong magic will generate some special flowers and plants, which sometimes cause serious consequences that are difficult to reverse on the mortal body.

Therefore, it is really rare for mortals to live over 80 years old, but in this booklet, the elderly aged 60 to 80 are the most, and even centenarians can be seen.

No wonder, this pharmacist named Holo, who added her and her grandfather's hard work to the Book of Noah, was noticed by the silver dragon Rafael.

"I understand."

Noah returned the medical records to Holo,

"These people can't lose you, and you also need them. Leaving the familiar environment, you may not be able to conduct more research in a short time, right?"

"Yes, if you are interested in my results, I can send my results to you regularly."

"No, what I am most interested in now is not your research results, but you."

Noah corrected Holo's words and told her one thing,

"What you need to know is that in all these years, you are the first human I want to recruit, but unfortunately, you rejected me."

"I'm very sorry, but the city of Elishim where you live for a long time does not need an apprentice pharmacist like me."

"No, you are wrong about this. The people here also need a kind pharmacist who cares about them."

Noah refuted Holo, and then looked at Rafael on the side,

"Sir Rafael, do you still remember where Miss Holo's hometown is?"

"Of course, I spent a lot of energy to find it."

Silver Dragon answered affirmatively.

"Then do you remember how many residents there are in Miss Holo's hometown?"

"About two to three thousand people?"

The Silver Dragon's tone suddenly became uncertain.

"If we count the surrounding villages she often visits, how many people are there in total?"

"This..."

Rafar was confused and had no idea how to answer such a question. As a high and mighty Silver Dragon, it was already very rare for him to condescend to find an apprentice pharmacist.

How could he possibly notice how many mortals lived around the pharmacist? How could he be so bored as to pay attention to such things.

"In the small town of Carmel where I live, plus the surrounding villages of Nata, Dok, and Wayne, there are a total of 2,657 people, excluding me."

Holo gave the exact number. That was the land she had walked on with her grandfather when she was a child. She remembered the names of every household.

"Well, less than 3,000 people, not many."

Noah nodded, looking at the slightly embarrassed silver dragon,

"Sir Rafael, can I entrust you with a task?"

"Please go ahead."

"I will provide you with a sum of money, and will let some cloud giants cooperate with you. The only requirement is to move all of Miss Holo's hometown to my territory."

"Move Holo's hometown to..."

Rafael's eyes twitched. Although he was a silver dragon who had lived for 300 years and thought he was knowledgeable, he had never seen such a thing.

Not to mention seeing it, he had never heard of it. In order to recruit an apprentice pharmacist, he actually planned to relocate nearly 3,000 mortals. How much money would it cost.

"Your Highness Noah?!"

Holo, who had always been calm and composed, was also confused. She looked up at Noah. She never thought that the golden dragon who wanted to recruit her would make such an arrangement.

"Why are you looking at me like this? Didn't I say that? You are the first human I want to recruit, and I don't want to fail.

You don't want to leave your hometown, and as a golden dragon, I can't force you to abandon your homeland. In this case, I can only make such an arrangement.

Move everything from your hometown here, so that no matter who it is, we can be satisfied."

The golden dragon looked as if it was a matter of course. Holo immediately had a certain understanding of this golden dragon respected as a holy dragon by many mortals. This is an existence that is so domineering that it does not allow disobedience, but it is indeed very kind.

"I am just an apprentice pharmacist. It is not worth your price at all."

"Obviously, our values ​​are not the same. I think it is worth it."

Noah smiled.

"Your Highness Noah, you may not know how far away the town where Miss Holo lives is from here. Letting so many mortals migrate will not only consume a lot of money, but also because of the long journey, many mortals cannot bear the hardship of running around."

Rafar had to remind Noah tactfully that this is not a matter of money. Mortals can't stand this kind of tossing.

"Why do we have to rush around? Isn't it better to set up a temporary teleportation array?"

Noah didn't agree. He could understand the meaning of the silver dragon, but it was obviously because the money given was not enough. As long as you are willing to pay enough, there are not many things in the mortal world that are impossible.

"Set up a teleportation array?"

Rafar was even more confused, because he could now roughly estimate the cost. This was a cost that made him heartbroken. If it were him, no matter how much he cherished genius, he would never pay so much.

"It's just a small amount of money."

The golden dragon showed his arrogance that even adult dragons would look up to.

There was no way. During the construction of the Mage City, he controlled all the golem production lines. So far, he didn't know how much profit he had made.

Rock golems and clay golems are very popular products among the middle and lower-level extraordinary people. Even the clay golems with a large output are in short supply.

Tireless, no need for additional charging, and able to self-repair small parts damage, these characteristics are enough to make many business groups crazy about buying them.

"..."

Rafar's lips moved, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it.

At this moment, the silver dragon really wanted to end his travels, stop here, and follow the holy dragon.

Not only because of this holy dragon's lofty ambition to tolerate all races and spirits, but also because of the arrogance and wealth he displayed at this moment.

Recruiting a mere human apothecary apprentice can pay such a price. How much benefit can he gain if he is willing to follow him?

"Now that you have decided on the plan, I am happy to help you."

This was Silver Dragon's reply.

Holo on the side was even speechless, not knowing how to respond.

But now she has no reason to refuse. People are planning to move all of her hometown here, so why should she refuse?

As for not allowing Jin Long to move, what qualifications does she have to allow it? Who has the right to say no? It's a great honor for someone to be willing to invite such a high-level person. If she refuses again, it means she is ignorant. Although she is not interested in fame and fortune, she is not without brains.

"The Book of Noah!"

After settling the matter, Noah couldn't help but miss the taste of the fruit.

"Speaking of which, I haven't eaten fruit for a long time. Unfortunately, the ripening speed of the fruit is getting slower and slower now."

The golden dragon was quite troubled. Perhaps the silver dragon felt that it was not worth it to invite a pharmacist apprentice at such a price, but in Noah's view, this was a bloody gain.

He didn't even need his name, he put all his life's efforts into the book named after him, and finally made a profit, and he was the one who was gratefully worshiped.

However, this also inspired Noah. No matter how talented he is, there are many things he cannot do due to his identity and status.

For example, it is impossible for him to spend energy and time thinking about how to treat an eighty-year-old human man with aphasia at the lowest cost, but some people are willing to do such a thing.

Therefore, Noah believes that he needs this kind of people to help him check for leaks, fill in the gaps, improve the shortcomings, and further obtain more nutrients for the golden tree to condense fruits.

"Perhaps, the Book of Noah can be gradually expanded into an encyclopedia, and all kinds of knowledge can be collected into it, and then compiled and compiled. I only need to put my name on it."

Noah further diverged his thinking and made assumptions,

"I don't need to do these myself, I can leave them to others. Holo can be responsible for compiling the herbal tablets, but in other aspects, I still need to recruit more talents.

Well, I should leave it to Rafael and give him a hard time. "
