CHAPTER 605: CHAPTER 350: PREPARATIONS FOR SLUMBER, HOLY DRAGON EXPANDS ITS FORCES (PART 2)

Under such pressure, the Augustus family’s originally laid-back atmosphere began to transform. The Augustus Dragon-man branch, which initially pursued its bloodline and relied on innate power to rest easy, once again became an extraordinarily diligent transcendental royal family.

Seeing such a clear positive change, Noah certainly had no reason to remind them, as diligence is a generally ordinary but exceptionally precious trait that most of the Dragon Clan lacks. Dragons possessing this trait often achieve remarkable success.

"Uncle Noah, has Sorlon come out yet? My daughter asked me to bring him some small gifts."

Looking at the inquiry from the Dragon Lord in front of him, and then casting his gaze outside the palace towards the winding procession that followed Alexander in teleporting here, Noah fell silent for a moment.

Truth be told, Noah had not expected his grandnephew and favored to be so shameless. Of course, one could beautify it by saying he was humble and open-minded, able to pick up and let go.

This guy, when he first met Sorlon years ago, had such a sarcastic and smug expression. Not only has Noah not forgotten, but Sorlon himself recalls it vividly.

However, ever since Sorlon received his investment in the power of faith and his bloodline awakening rapidly progressed, Alexander’s attitude immediately changed.

He frequently visits Elisium to precisely know Sorlon’s every break from the Dragon Domain for short rests. Time and again, he comes over to inquire with heartfelt concern, even putting forth his daughter to win him over.

As Noah knew, Alexander’s daughter seemed unaware of these occurrences. Noah didn’t know which one specifically; Alexander has too many daughters to count.

Precisely because Alexander could lower his stance, even though Sorlon harbored slight distrust, seeing such a distinguished person lower himself and show such concern, Sorlon couldn’t help but feel fondly toward Alexander.

After all, this was his blood relative clan, and in terms of seniority, it was his elder. Moreover, the Monarch did not initially insult or attack him verbally, compared to what he encountered during his youth, the Monarch’s approach was quite perfect.

Thus, even having received Noah’s warning, Sorlon swiftly became enamored with the Golden Dragon Lord’s sweet-talk, and frankly, most people find it hard to refuse.

Noah viewed all of this indifferently and without intervention because, both in terms of blood and relational closeness, Alexander was more worthy of his regard.

"Your news is quite well-informed. How much did you spend to buy off the fairies in my palace?"

Noah, looking at his grandnephew who was never vague about the big matters and never cared about his own face, asked with intrigue.

"Forgive me, uncle!"

Alexander’s face, previously filled with a gentle smile, immediately changed when he heard Noah’s question, and he kneeled with a thud.

"I absolutely have no intention to offend you; I have never pried into your privacy or whereabouts. I just want to know about Sorlon, and I have only inquired about information related to him."

"Why are you kneeling? I’m asking you a question. How much did you bribe those fairies?"

Of course, Noah believed Alexander’s words. Not only did he not have the guts to seek information about him, even those serving fairies wouldn’t dare leak anything casually.

The fairies’ privileges have disappeared for how many years now? It’s not just Sifreya who dares to harm fairies now.

But a little knock is still needed, for now, while Noah is here, he dares to buy off those fairies in his palace. If someday Noah’s state were to change, would this guy dare to make bolder moves?

"I spent approximately seven million Golden Dragon Coin’s worth of treasures."

Alexander answered with a look of apprehension. Although the uncle’s tone seemed indifferent, he couldn’t truly take Noah as someone who didn’t care about anything.

"Wow, you really are generous. If you want to understand that young man Sorlon, ask me directly next time. I know more than those fairies, but don’t skimp on purchasing the information."

With a light chuckle, Noah advised informally.

"Your information is more accurate than the fairies’, I naturally should pay a higher price."

Alexander understood, adeptly expressing what needed to be shown.

"Go check on Sorlon, he’s already out!"

Directly changing the topic, Noah didn’t respond to the issue of pricing because the Golden Dragon Lord knew what to do.

"Oh, I’ll go see that young man right away."

Initially incredibly anxious, Alexander became overjoyed, knowing that this episode was over. However, he understood such actions should never recur, lest the price becomes much heavier.

"Hmm."

Noah responded lightly, dismissing him before lazily lowering his head, resting it on his front paws, and closing his eyes in a fake slumber.

A faint drowsiness surrounded his consciousness, leaving him feeling drowsy. But this drowsiness wasn’t strong enough to send him into a deep sleep.

However, as time passed, this sensation was gradually accumulating and intensifying. Noah knew well what this meant: it was a sign of the approaching Deep Sleep Period.

He was about to enter a hibernation transformation into an adult dragon. Though it hadn’t begun yet, Noah had a premonition that awakening from this sleep would truly place him at the apex of the Material Realm; whether demigod or ascender, he would not merely possess the power to fight.

Nevertheless, compared to the peak battle power he would have post-maturity, Noah was currently more concerned about the duration of his Deep Sleep Period.

Based on past experiences, Noah estimated this period wouldn’t be less than a decade, perhaps even longer.

Because this transformation represented the highest span and intensity he could achieve within the Material Realm, this time might be particularly lengthy.

Every past sleep had stronger entities capable of taking the helm while he had loyal favored to oversee everything, resulting in little change upon awakening.

Now it’s different; not only is there no stronger entity than Noah, but no one to temporarily step in and handle everything.

Although his favored are stronger than before, his expanded influence is simply too large for one or two favored to independently support and maintain the order system.

Despite having some remarkable grandnephews and children, they can only oversee one area each, none possessing the ability to fully coordinate and control the entire order.

Noah’s presence is the core of the order he established, and even if he usually indulges in personal pursuits, the development of order can still result in positive changes.

However, once Noah, the core, falls asleep, what’s likely to happen when he awakens amidst this rapid development and colonization period? Even Noah finds it difficult to predict.

"Let it be; each generation has its blessings. At worst, I’ll resolve everything upon awakening."

Despite feeling some unease, Noah wasn’t planning further actions but simply began assembling forces to guard the Olvis Mountain Range.

Ensuring that he will not face any external disturbance during his slumber. As for the rest, wait until he awakens for adjustments.

Under Holy Dragon Noah’s will, the three battle groups directly under his command started expanding and reorganizing based on their original structure, splitting into nine battle groups.

The Forbidden Army, having access to the cutting-edge, taboo modification technologies, and the Dragon Guards composed of the most outstanding Dragon Fairy, also received comprehensive enhancements.

Everything was set to welcome the impending deep slumber.
