Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Raising Geese, Red Dragon Egg

"What do you mean?"

Noah widened his eyes, looking incredulously at the irresponsible couple in front of him,

"I should take care of it? What are you two going to do?"

"You know, Noah, I have a Knight Order to manage, and there are too many things to handle. Edith is just like me, we don’t have the time, so we can only rely on you."

The young man, still looking in his early twenties, showed an earnest expression. The silver-haired girl beside him also slightly bowed, her post-childbirth figure and appearance undiminished, still youthful and vibrant.

"But don’t you have..."

Noah was about to refuse, but suddenly realized that his foster mother was much busier than this young couple, managing the territory’s affairs and the construction of Mage City. Asking her to help with the child was inviting trouble.

As for his foster father, he was relatively more relaxed, but only relatively. As a legendary Dragon Slayer with extraordinary battle prowess, Casius often received requests for help or commissions from other nations.

If it involved schemes like bribery or requests for mentorship, this warrior would completely ignore them.

But when it came to disturbances from legendary-level monsters or invasions by evil forces, Casius would hardly ever refuse such requests for help and would lead a team directly.

Battle, slaughter, victory—these are what Noah’s foster father, a pure warrior, desired. To entrust a months-old infant to his care felt quite unsteady to Noah.

"Noah, for us, you are the most suitable choice. I can’t trust the others, so I can only rely on you."

Tidel spoke sincerely. Even after a purge, the Augustus family was still quite large, yet not a single family member he could trust with his biological daughter.

"But this child hasn’t even been weaned; how am I supposed to feed her?"

Noah asked in disbelief.

He truly couldn’t imagine that he, a just-twenty-two-year-old juvenile dragon, could become humanity’s ideal babysitter candidate.

"I can prepare some. If it’s not enough, you can also use animal milk; I was raised on it."

The elf girl beside him hesitated for a moment before responding.

"Alright, I’ll take care of the child."

Having reached this point, Noah had no real reason to refuse. After all, he wouldn’t have to do everything himself, and the Great Fairy could assist him.

"That’s great."

Hearing Noah agree, the young man was overjoyed and immediately promised Noah,

"I will definitely deliver the Red Dragon Egg you wanted in a while."

"There’s really a Red Dragon Egg?"

Noah was somewhat surprised, not forgetting the young man had mentioned a pair of mature Red Dragons in heat.

"Not long ago, my Shadow Knights observed the mother dragon laying eggs."

"No wonder you’re so eager to hand your daughter to me; turns out the mother dragon laid eggs."

Noah realized that although the Red Dragons were the head of the Colorful Dragons, they couldn’t escape the inevitable traits and weaknesses of a creature.

Even a Red Dragon enters a weakened state after laying eggs. Of course, so-called weakness is relative; any clueless adventurer who thinks this is their chance with a vulnerable Red Dragon is in for a nasty surprise.

"After all, it’s a Red Dragon. I’m not foolish enough to adhere to the Knight’s Eight Virtues in the face of a monster."

"Then I’ll be waiting for your Red Dragon Egg."

Watching the couple leave, Noah suddenly thought of his parents and couldn’t help but wonder if the Golden Dragons abandoned him for similar reasons,

"Whatever it is, it’s been almost twenty years; shouldn’t they come back to see me?"

The Golden Dragon mumbled quietly. Turning away, he put the matter behind him. Whether or not his parents would come to visit him, it didn’t matter to him.

Noah’s primary task now was to learn how to be a competent Golden Dragon babysitter. He should be worried about stabilizing the emotions of the baby girl who had left her parents’ arms to prevent her from crying due to losing her sense of security.

"..."

A pair of large golden dragon eyes met a pair of tiny, completely black eyes. Then the owner of the small eyes opened a toothless mouth and giggled, reaching out small hands toward the owner of the large eyes.

"You don’t cry?"

Having prepared himself, Noah was puzzled to see such a well-behaved baby girl, even happier than when in her parents’ arms.

However, Noah soon realized that there is no such thing as a human baby who doesn’t cry. His niece, Gwendolin, didn’t fuss because Noah was there.

The Golden Dragon emitted a pleasant scent similar to a mixed incense. As a Golden Dragon with ancestor return properties, Noah’s scent was even more alluring.

It’s just that Noah hadn’t realized it before. Even when his foster mother often hugged him or praised his scent, he hadn’t paid attention. After all, it happened so often that he became indifferent.

But now, as a babysitter, Noah finally understood just how useful his scent was in calming a child, making it an absolute advantage.

At first, Noah thought his niece was naturally carefree, not fearing anything even after leaving her parents.

But after Noah fed the little one and she fell asleep peacefully, placing her in the cradle, she started fussing, crying non-stop.
