Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 41 Fairy Queen

"I just want to follow Your Highness Noah forever, until my life withers away."

Hearing the determination in the Great Fairy Sifreya’s words, Selena could only reluctantly give up.

Noah looked at his foster mother’s expression and timely offered a suggestion,

"If you need the Great Fairy’s help to take care of the Herb Garden, you can offer compensation. After all, it’s not far, just a matter of going up and down the mountain."

"Hmm, that’s not a bad idea."

Selena glanced at Noah and nodded.

In fact, any orthodox mage would never accept such a suggestion.

Because for any high-rank mage, the Herb Garden is one of the most valued places, and those who can enter it, apart from slaves whose lives are controlled by the mage, are only constructs like the Magic Statue, so how could they let living beings enter just based on an employment relationship.

But who can refuse a suggestion from the Golden Dragon? Besides, the nurturing effects of the Great Fairy on Magic Potions are immensely enticing, making it hard to let go.

"What compensation do you want to take care of my Magic Potions?"

Selena squinted her eyes at the Great Fairy Sifreya, who was trying to hide her body among the flowers.

"Can I take them along?"

Sifreya knew she had no room to refuse, and besides, how many rare Magic Potions would a high-rank mage’s Herb Garden gather? It was hard not to look forward to it.

"Anything else you want besides that?"

"To come into contact with more Magic Potions is already a great blessing for us."

Sifreya was very sensible.

Plant Elves grow by absorbing the essence of Magic Potions, although simply accumulating the magic power of potions cannot directly lead to evolution, it is one of the necessary conditions for evolution.

It’s worth mentioning that the actions of a Little Fairy are a complementary cycle with the Magic Potions, rather than unilateral taking, otherwise, no mage would like them.

"What a clever little fellow, I’m liking you more and more."

Hearing such an understanding and sensible response, even Lady couldn’t help but smile gently.

"Speaking of which, if a Great Fairy can continue to evolve, will she become a Fairy Queen?"

Noah silently observed Sifreya, whose little face showed joy, and suddenly asked.

"Why? Do you also want to cultivate a Fairy Queen?"

Upon hearing Noah’s question, Selena couldn’t help but glance sideways.

"If possible, of course."

"Do you know what rank a Fairy Queen is?"

"Legend."

For Noah, this was common knowledge. A Fairy Queen naturally also belongs to the kind of spirit creatures, but she is the strongest in this category, there is no comparison between an ordinary Little Fairy and her.

"So how far do you think she is from Legend?"

Selena pointed at the recently evolved Great Fairy. freewēbnoveℓ.com

"..."

Noah was momentarily speechless because there was no need to speak at all.

Just from the magic power aura emitted by Sifreya, her strength should have reached the Silver Rank. Compared to a Little Fairy, it’s indeed not on the same level and can certainly have some self-preservation power, but to say that this fledgling could evolve one more round and then leap to Legend, isn’t that absurd and ridiculous?

"She’s just freshly evolved and hasn’t accumulated enough yet; she can get stronger, but becoming a Fairy Queen isn’t that simple.

Theoretically, a Great Fairy can evolve into a Fairy Queen, but according to some scholars’ research, there should be an intermediate form between a Great Fairy and a Fairy Queen, corresponding to what we know as the Ultimate Intent Realm."

"What is this intermediate form?"

"No one knows; just like I’ve never seen a Fairy Queen, such legendary spirit beings have been extinct on the Xilantia Continent for who knows how long, probably hidden away. You might want to ask the Ancient Dragons in your family; they might have encountered one."

"I’ll ask if I get the chance."

Noah really didn’t know what intermediate form lies between a Great Fairy and a Fairy Queen, but the gap between the two is indeed too huge. He couldn’t think of any divine item capable of supporting such a dramatic leap in evolution.

"If you find an answer, do let me know."

Selena reminded,

"Oh, right, I almost forgot to tell you, Tidel is coming back for his coming of age ceremony."

"Tidel is coming back?"

Noah was startled and then suddenly realized,

"Considering the time, he should be coming back."

The once young boy had been gone almost two years, and suddenly bringing him up made Noah somewhat nostalgic for the taste of River Valley Pearls. Although he didn’t lack such food now, it was still different.

"He’s changed a lot these past two years, and might not be the same as you remember."

Seeing Noah’s nostalgic expression, Selena reminded him.

"Has he turned into a notorious villain?"

Noah tilted his head.

"Not at all, he probably hasn’t forgotten his family has raised a Golden Dragon."

The Golden Dragon certainly knew how much short-lived species change during their adolescence. Just as the saying goes, a girl changes eighteen times as she grows up, it’s not much different for boys either.

"As long as he hasn’t fallen into depravity becoming an evildoer, it doesn’t matter how he changes."

Even so, when Noah saw the man standing before his Dragon Nest, he couldn’t help but be surprised and exclaimed:

Time really is a ruthless pig-slaughtering knife.

The boy who once showed signs of valor had turned into a middle-aged man with a full beard, eyes filled with weariness, carrying an air of decadence akin to a scruffy Wandering Knight.

"Noah!"

A hoarse voice just began to speak when little lights converged, transforming into six chains wrapping around him. The Knight did not resist, allowing himself to be bound.

"Where did this Wandering Knight come from? How dare you trespass the Dragon Nest!"

Now over ten meters long, the Young Dragon was a colossus to humanoid beings, looking down at the youth before him, dark gold dragon eyes filled with endless majesty.

"You don’t recognize me?"

The Wandering Knight, firmly bound, was slightly taken aback, his already decadent aura adding a sense of loss,

"I’m not a Wandering Knight, I’m Terrell, I..."

Terrell wanted to say more but his tone faltered, as if releasing his last breath, his eyes clouded, unwilling to speak further.

"Ha, just joking with you, what’s up with you? The legitimate heir of a legendary lineage, the sole successor to the future Duke’s title, where did you gather all this gloom, wearing rags, coming here to sell misery."

Noah’s demeanor changed, the majesty vanished, replaced with sheer disdain,

"Expecting me to help restore your dignity? Don’t even think about it, unless you give me eight thousand pounds of pearls."
