Chapter 381: Chapter 238: One Rank Lower, All Are Trash?_2

A Legendary Paladin

It must be said, the paladin is a very special profession. People from different countries, regions, and even races, because of their pursuit of goodness and their belief in upholding justice, are inspired by the Holy Light and receive the same power, which allows them to easily identify with each other and reach a consensus.

For this reason, this profession shares similar traits with the Metallic Dragon Race. When faced with unsolvable problems and difficulties, one can seek help from strong individuals of the same profession.

Of course, unlike the Metallic Dragon Race, when a paladin seeks help from another paladin, if the reason is to uphold justice and slay evil, no reward will be taken.

"Burn? This is your first visit during the twenty-one years you’ve lived in my territory, isn’t it?"

Looking at the familiar paladin below, Noah quipped. This person was quite an old acquaintance to him; after all, he had been residing in his territory for so long.

"I never expected a paladin to get involved in such matters."

"The previous lack of visit was because I didn’t want to disturb the lord. After all, a wise lord like you must be extremely busy, and I had no special matters to justify a visit."

Even the paladin, who gives the impression of being rigid and inflexible, knows to pay a compliment to a like-minded Golden Dragon.

"So, is it necessary now?"

Noah glanced to the side, at the restless young paladin, and asked with a smile.

"To fulfill a pair of young people and witness a sacred love, isn’t that something special?"

"Indeed, it is."

Noah nodded.

"Thank you, Holy Dragon Grand Lord!"

The paladin named Will was overjoyed at Noah’s words, seeing no further obstacles, and was about to embrace his wife.

However, a strong arm, like an iron wall, extended between him and his wife, blocking his path forward.

"Although your great-uncle agreed, I have not. If you want to take Aveline away from me, show me your skills."

Alexander stood up and looked at the young paladin in front of him, his eyes filled with scrutiny.

Frankly speaking, he didn’t think much of the paladin before him. Although the profession was somewhat special, to him, it was nothing.

What made him disdain even more was that this man couldn’t even protect his own wife. Though he found help, how could a mere paladin take a princess away from Uther without someone like him?

"Who are you?"

Will looked at the Dragon-man before him, guessing his identity, and suppressed his emotions to ask.

"Alexander Augustus!"

"The Golden Dragon Knight?"

"I am not a knight."

Alexander corrected. He went to the battlefield with Theodore, merely fighting alongside him. Although externally it looked like he was riding Theodore, that was just a misunderstanding from others.

"Then you are Aveline’s brother."

Will realized that the person before him was his brother-in-law, automatically showing a look of embarrassment and flattery on his face.

"That’s right, kid. Although my sister likes you, I do not acknowledge you."

"This isn’t an arena; if you want to fight, take it outside."

Although strangely familiar, Noah did not stop the impending fight.

The paladin and Aveline had already had a child, so no matter how dissatisfied Alexander was, he couldn’t put the child back.

"Come with me."

Seeing that Noah did not intervene but rather tacitly permitted, Alexander was overjoyed, grabbed the still stunned paladin, and ran out of the palace.

"Is this the Augustus family’s future third-generation king?"

Watching Alexander’s back, the old paladin Burn showed a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

"That is something for the current king to decide, unrelated to us."

Noah was not prepared to discuss such topics, for anyone with eyes could see the relationship between Alexander and him.

"I really like your territory and greatly enjoy the peace and serenity here, so I am very concerned about matters that might disturb the order of your territory."

Noah engaged in a friendly conversation with the legendary paladin.

Mostly, the paladin praised the peace of Noah’s territory and the beauty of the Holy Dragon’s rule, then expressed his willingness to continue living in seclusion there.

Compared to the flattery and praise from a paladin, Noah raised practical requirements for the paladin’s desire for seclusion, asking him to take on specific duties and bear more responsibilities.

Since the person had already come to him, the Golden Dragon, how could he not exploit it, and thus honor his identity as the Dragon Lord?

Hence, after a round of friendly negotiations, Noah successfully reached an agreement with the elderly paladin. He would stay in Noah’s territory, providing teaching guidance to the students of Dragon Academy, while also passing on the paladin’s beliefs and selecting and training more paladins.

This was a mutually beneficial decision, so Noah would not refuse.

When the paladin was about to take his leave, the brother-in-law and husband’s exchange had ended, and the paladin, bruised and battered, led his wife out of the Dragon Palace, stumbling.

Just as Noah predicted, even if Alexander felt unhappy about his brother-in-law, the child had been born, and he couldn’t prevent the family from being reunited.

"Your sister already has a child; it’s high time you made an effort too."

When a dejected Alexander came to bid farewell, Noah also hinted that having an heir was a crucial condition for becoming the Monarch.

"I will try my best."

Upon hearing Noah’s nudge, Alexander paused and then reluctantly nodded.

It wasn’t that he wasn’t trying, but he simply couldn’t have a child. The number of partners he had sought had already exceeded his father’s, breaking the Augustus family record to some extent.

However, if Noah could have offspring, so could he. After Alexander returned to his territory, it was only two years before one of his wives successfully conceived.

Unfortunately, what greatly frustrated this Golden Dragon Knight was that even before his child was born, he could perceive through his bloodline a significant deterioration in his child’s bloodline.

The severity was akin to an Ancestral Dragon Species degenerating into a modern Dragon Species, which made this prince notably depressed, even more than the reprimands from his father and criticism from the ministers.

"Be content; you’re already doing well. Your child’s starting point is much stronger than yours ever was. What dissatisfaction could you have?"

For Alexander, who couldn’t accept the significant regression in his offspring’s bloodline and sought help from Noah for a solution,

Noah expressed helplessness. To obtain his True Blood, one must have first-rate mental will and a Golden Body, otherwise, it was impossible.

Moreover, possessing a broader perspective, Noah felt Alexander was merely not content. As the eldest, his offspring were already the best among the fifth generation of the Augustus family.

Far superior to his younger brother and sister. Indeed, not only Aveline, but Wayne also had children, and not just one.

However, the most powerful contender for the second Immortal King had truly mortal children, each more ordinary than the last, with extremely low extraordinary talent. Perhaps this was a drawback of the bloodline separation technique?
