Chapter 554 What Brings You Here Tia
Archer nodded and inquired about something that had bothered him since he arrived here. ''Yeah. I hope you won't have an issue with me going to see them later.''
The older woman chuckled before answering. ''Of course not. You're a guest in Silvershade, not a prisoner. Now this way.''
She led him to a room where she opened the door to see a lounge surrounded by shelves of tomes and books.
Archer looked around to see a man sitting by a window reading a book as the view overlooked a bit of the city and coastline.
He noticed the silver dragon king had short silver hair with two white horns. The man turned toward him and smiled before standing up and approaching them.
As the man stood before him, he came to a halt and introduced himself. "White dragon, I'm Aslan Silvershade.''
The silver king looked at him and continued. ''I have one question to ask of you. Reveal to me, what is your deepest desire in this world?"
''I want to enjoy it with my women while swimming in a sea of treasure as I'm left alone in peace,'' Archer answered
Aslan started laughing, catching Archer off guard, while Tiamara smiled before whispering into his ear. ''Listen to his words. He's lived for thousands of years and has learned much.''
The queen gracefully exited the room when Aslan's voice surged with experience. "Peace is a fleeting illusion in a world eternally tarnished by chaos. I've witnessed the rise and fall of many of your kind. Each promised peace and power, but succumbed to the indulgence and greed of it, allowing our race to plummet into despair once more."
Archer's eyes flared fiery, a response forged in the crucible of his determination. "I have not merely promised, Aslan. I have taken action. I've forged a haven where dragons can soar free, unburdened by the shackles of suffering. I've created a realm where peace not only survives but thrives. Under my claws and within the ranks of my army, I will usher in an era of peace that defies history."
Aslan started laughing before quipping. ''Oh, you'd burn millions so the rest can live peacefully?''
Archer quickly answered without thinking. ''Yes.''
''Would you give up on this peace if it came at the cost of one of your girls?'' Aslan asked.
''Why would I care about the world's peace? When all I want to do is live peacefully with my girls? I couldn't care less about ruling or having people kneel to me. I want to adventure and live my life.''
Aslan looked at him with curious eyes and laughed before commenting. ''If you want that boy, then you'll have to create a world where it will leave you in peace.''
Upon absorbing those words, Archer's retort emerged like a storm, each word igniting a fire inside him. "If that is the course destiny plans for me, so be it. I shall use my claws and fire to reshape this world into one my children can inherit. I'll keep my girl's peace safe, and any who disrupt it shall face the?consequences. For I am not just the white dragon but a renowned hooligan."
King Aslan started laughing, which echoed reverberating through the air like a dragon's roar. As he calmed down, he motioned for Archer to join him at the window. When he approached, the city sprawled below them.
With a piercing gaze, Aslan turned to him, his words carrying the weight of prophecy. "In seeking a peaceful life, you may inadvertently forge a new legacy that no white dragon has done before you. Your adventure may be the beginning of a new era, and the world, unbeknownst to you, may get the peace it has always sought.''
Archer looked at the silver-haired man and wondered where this was going, but he had to agree. Now he thought about it, and he'd brought about some change to those around him.
He remembered seeing the girls and how much stronger they'd become. Even Ella, who wasn't much of a fight, could hold her ground against someone a rank above her.
After thinking to himself, he nodded to the man, who smiled before explaining why Archer was there. ''So Tiamat has asked me to train you, and by what she's told us, you got some qualified fiancess who has been helping you.''
Archer smiled when he remembered training with the girls and committed to doing it more with them. He then looked at Aslan as he continued.
''I will teach you how to think smart and how to be cunning. I've watched some of your deeds that Tiamara managed to get her claws on, and to say you fight like a wild beast is an understatement. But I foresee the ladies will beat that out of you before long.''
When Archer heard this, he started laughing as he agreed with the man but soon calmed down and spoke with a curious voice. ''So how will you train me to be smarter? I think I'm rather smart if I do say so.''
Aslan turned to look at him with his unreadable eyes but soon smirked before revealing some information. ''Charging into human armies with no thought about stronger foes? Fighting people much stronger than you? You need to be smarter, boy.''
The silver king walked toward a door that led to a balcony, and when Archer saw this, he followed behind as Aslan started speaking again. ''Why fight someone stronger when you can take him to another enemy?''
Archer shot back with a cheeky grin, "Well, leveling up is on my to-do list. Can't skip the experience grind if I want to unlock those epic dragon powers."
The elder dragon gave him a deadpan stare that screamed "idiot alert" before rolling his eyes dramatically. "Seriously, kid? There are countless critters out there you can hunt without tangling with tunnel-dwelling demigods. Why stick your neck out like that?"
He shrugged. ''Well, I wont let my girls get hurt, and if that means taking a beating until someone stronger comes along, then so be it.''
''How do you know someone will come to help you?'' Aslan questioned with narrowed eyes.
Archer chuckled as he answered. ''Well, Tiamat seems to send people. After all, she did send an elf to heal me when I received the Swarm's poison because she thinks I'm handsome and wants me.''
Just as he finished speaking, the clouds above turned black, causing Aslan to groan as he informed Archer. ''You've angered her now. I'll let you deal with it. My goddess, I am not involved in the boy's slander.''
The man stepped back, and a beam of light shot down, and a tall woman appeared. But Archer noticed it was just a projection because of the mana surrounding her.
When the light faded, he saw Tiamat standing there. Her long white hair reached down to her waist. She was dressed in a white dress that stopped just below her knees.
Archer smiled when he saw her and commented in a cheeky voice. ''Couldn't wait to see me? Why not summon me when I'm asleep, you pervy dragon?''
The woman's violet eyes glowed before she giggled. ''You try to tease me all the time, little dragon. But one of these days, I will smite you from my heavenly palace.''
When Aslan heard the serious tone in her voice he stepped back, but it went ignored by Archer and Tiamat. The two looked at each other before he started laughing, which shocked the silver dragon.
Archer stopped laughing before approaching Tiamat, who was just watching him with a smile on her face. He studied her and nodded his head as he spoke. ''Good. I like this projection of you, my future wife. But when can I feel the real thing?''
Tiamara quickly rushed onto the balcony but stopped when she saw Tiamat standing there looking at the boy. She leaned over and whispered. ''What is he doing, husband?''
''Teasing the goddess? He's crazy.'' Aslan answered without taking his eyes off the scene in front of him.
Archer stopped walking when he arrived in front of the woman, who now had a grin on her face before stepping forward and speaking in a low voice. ''You know when little dragon. When you become the pinnacal of dragonkind you can have me.''
He smiled when hearing the woman's voice. But he shook his head and asked in a curious voice. ''What brings you here Tia?''
When the dragon goddess heard this she was stumped with the nickname but ignored it before informing him. ''The Swarm will attack the witches home in the coming weeks. If they get a foothold on the land it will spell trouble from Pluoria.''
