Noah quickly recalled, in the past, he had been attracted by Tidel’s coming-of-age ceremony, leading a Silver Dragon into Elisium City. This Silver Dragon was drawn to the book he authored and visited him in person, even recognizing his title as Holy Dragon.
However, at that ti, the Silver Dragon promised to return to et him after ten years, but now, counting the ti, it’s been nearly twenty-one years, double the ti originally promised, before seeing the dragon’s shadow again.
Initially, he wondered if sothing had happened to this Silver Dragon, but now it seed there was nothing amiss. It was likely due to the differing sense of ti between longevity species and short-lived species.
A decade is quite long for short-lived species, but for longevity species, it might just be enough for a comfortable nap, truly not much for an adult dragon.
"Your Highness Noah?!"
After twenty years apart, when Silver Dragon Raphael appeared before Noah again, he hadn’t changed much from the past. He even transford into a male elven form, not keeping his usual beloved female elf appearance.
Yet, Noah’s appearance had indeed changed significantly over these two decades, not just because he grew much larger, but more importantly, he also grew a pair of unique dragon wings, which even his parents had stared at for a long ti to confirm, let alone the Silver Dragon with whom he only had a night of convivial conversation.
"I am the only Golden Dragon nad Noah on this land, so there’s no need for that expression; you haven’t co to the wrong place."
Noah’s gaze swept across the Silver Dragon; this Silver Dragon didn’t co alone. By his side was a middle-aged human woman with a beautiful face, appearing around thirty, cloaked in a finely textured cape, exuding a very approachable natural aura, with a faint herbal scent emanating from her.
"The change in Your Highness Noah has truly astonished , what is this?"
"Just so ancestral changes!"
Noah said casually.
"Ancestor Dragon."
Silver Dragon Raphael looked astonished, but his nerves quickly cald, showing a look of realization,
"With your talent, having such changes is normal; if one day you beco a true Ancestor Dragon, I wouldn’t be surprised."
"Ancestor Dragon? That’s quite distant for ."
Noah gently shook his head, clearly aware of the gap between him and the distant ancestors of ancient tis.
"But aren’t you walking on this path? Compared to us diocre people who can’t even find the way, you’ve already far ahead."
"It’s just luck."
"You’re too humble!"
"eting again after so long, did you co just to flatter ? In that regard, I have many servants much better than you under ."
"Hahaha, of course not, but you just amaze too much."
"Aren’t you going to introduce this person to ?"
Noah’s gaze turned to the woman with a calm deanor, even when facing the power of a Golden Dragon, she appeared very calm, which was quite unusual compared to her strength.
Without any intention of deaning, this woman could be said to be the weakest Transcendent Noah had ever seen, at the Bronze Enlightennt, the first realm for professionals, just marginally different from ordinary mortals.
However, Noah didn’t look down on this woman because of her weakness, after all, she was brought over by the adult Silver Dragon, there must be sothing special about her.
"Before introducing her to you, please allow to apologize, I promised to visit you again after ten years, but I delayed for almost eleven years, I broke the promise."
"It’s nothing."
Noah shook his head, all that the Silver Dragon did, the Golden Dragon could see, all reflecting back through the Golden Tree.
"The reason for my delay, besides encountering so unforeseen events during my travels, also has to do with her."
"Oh?"
Noah showed so interest.
"I’ve been dedicated to spreading your authored ’Noah’s Book’, but these books often fall victim to manipulation by ill-intentioned individuals, who alter the content you’ve written, sotis even replacing it completely, leaving only the na ’Noah’s Book’, which sotis leads to very negative consequences."
The Silver Dragon’s tone revealed indignation, much of his energy over the years had been devoted to combating those pirate books, especially those twisted and altered by followers of Evil Gods, apocalypse cults, and other evil forces.
"Hmm, in order to broadly disseminate correct knowledge, stable order, and strong power, these guarantees are necessary."
Noah was not surprised by this, which is why he tended towards being conservative, because one cannot rely on the morality of the Wisdom Race, instead, one must be wary of the innate selfish desires.
In acquiring good knowledge and technology, many from the Wisdom Species’ first reaction is to keep it hidden to maintain their competitive advantage, unshared and undistributed.
Therefore, the Golden Dragon wasn’t keen on spreading ’Noah’s Book’ beyond the Augustus family rule, as it was thankless work, and one never knew if it would be exploited by so chaotic evil forces.
"However, during this process, I also made so unexpected discoveries. Although the majority of the alterers are ill-intentioned, there are people with kindness at heart."
"Are you talking about her?"
Noah’s gaze shifted back to the woman, whose eyes had shallow crow’s feet, and under the gaze of the Golden Dragon, she just slightly bowed without any pressure.
"Yes, but she isn’t technically an alterer; she didn’t modify any of your content, but rather added so of her own efforts, and then spread them under your na."
"What content?"
"Please see for yourself."
Noah took the scroll handed over by the Silver Dragon, unfolded it, and with one glance at the contents, his eyes imdiately showed surprise.
Because there was an added section about herbs, and surprisingly, these were common herbs accessible to everyone, not containing any magic power.
This was sothing Noah had envisioned before, a potion recipe suitable for mortals.
However, until now, Noah had only stayed at the concept stage and hadn’t actually proceeded, since just learning was insufficient, no matter how much one understood each herb’s properties.
Different people, different creatures, using the sa potion, would yield different effects. To develop a broad-spectrum potion formula effective for ordinary mortals would still require human testing.
Though exceedingly harsh, this is the reality of alchemy. Behind each mature potion formula, accounting for all side effects, are countless test subjects and countless remains.
"Is the herb section your work?"
Noah’s gaze at the woman had changed.
"Only a part of it is."
For the first ti, the woman spoke, in a very gentle, yet slightly hoarse voice,
"Another part is my grandfather’s work."
"This is quite an astounding achievent."
The Golden Dragon’s eyes showed astonishnt,
"You and your grandfather have done sothing I’ve long wanted to do but never pursued. What is your na?"
"Her na is Heluo. At a very young age, she was abandoned, and taken in by an elderly pharmacist apprentice, raised, and imparted knowledge.
In that region where they lived, they were very well-known, but that old apprentice was only called the Old Pharmacist by others, while she was called the Immortal dicine Elf by nearby villagers."
"Pharmacist apprentice?"
The Giant Dragon extended a claw, gently brushing the sheepskin scroll, over parts not belonging to him,
"Why didn’t you bring him along?"
"My grandfather was attacked by a ferocious beast while picking herbs two years ago and fell off a cliff to his death."
Heluo’s voice contained no trace of sadness, just a commonplace remark.
"I see, that is truly unfortunate."
The Golden Dragon remarked with emotion, then asked his next question,
"Are these all the efforts of you and your grandfather? Why didn’t you leave your nas on it?"
"As long as the knowledge gets spread, my grandfather and I are already very satisfied."
