nAslan had a shocked look on his face, but Tiamat laughed before explaining. ”That’s fine. It will be a small incursion, but the witches are fighting the dragons that inhabit that place.”

nHe nodded while commenting. ”I’ll travel there first and let my army do their job. I want to earn a place in the Celestial Magic Tournament.”

nTiamat chuckled before turning to the king and queen, who knelt, which caused Archer to start laughing. He quickly started teasing the elder dragons. ”You’re bowing to my wife, you know?

nUpon hearing this, the couple grew irritated with Archer’s disrespectful treatment of their goddess. Tiamara shot him an annoyed glare, provoking a reaction from the goddess. “Don’t give him that look. Can’t you see I’m not offended? The boy’s not entirely wrong, though it won’t happen anytime soon.”

nUpon hearing this revelation, Tiamara and Aslan’s silver eyes widened in shock, but they quickly nodded in understanding. Seeing their reaction, Archer couldn’t help but chuckle to himself.

nAfter that, Tiamat looked at him with a loving smile as she informed him. ”Well, with that done, I can go back to my palace. I just wanted to warn you, my little white dragon.”

nShe smiled at Aslan and Tiamara. ”Try to teach him what you can, but as you can see, he’s not doing so bad. He does need to act smarter, but he’s only sixteen. Just keep an eye on him for me.”

nBefore the goddess vanished, Archer blew her a kiss and then grinned, which shocked the silver dragon couple, who were looking at him like he was crazy.

nTiamat disappeared, and the three were left standing on the balcony. Archer turned to Aslan and commented with a charming smile. ”Shall we continue our lesson, or can I see my girls?”

nAslan smiled before speaking. ”Follow me, boy. There’s much we can talk about.” .

nHe followed the older man after Tiamara said bye as she flew off. Aslan commented as they entered the mansion. ”You see, being powerful has its benefits but also its downfalls. If you don’t know how to wield it, then you’re only a glass cannon waiting for someone stronger to break you.”

nThey exited the room the balcony was connected to and walked down the corridors of the mansion. Archer saw maids who had smiles on their faces as they went about their duties.

nThe two proceeded with their walk through the silver dragon’s home, eventually arriving at a crossroads.

nAslan guided him to the left, and during this journey, the elder dragon shared his thoughts. “I’ve seen some of your battles, and there’s no denying your strength. However, as I mentioned earlier, your fighting style resembles that of a wild animal. To confront more formidable opponents, You need to use a smarter strategy and be more tactical.”

nThey stopped at a large door before Aslan pushed the doors open to find a large library. Archer looke around and saw that it dwarfed his one. He swore that he would make his bigger but remembered the island the northern kingdom gave him.

nSeeing the grin on Archer’s face, Aslan chuckled and remarked, “What plan have you hatched this time, boy? I recognize that expression.”

n”Oh. Some kingdom gave me an island, which is quite big, if I remember, but I need to ask one of the girls about it. I wanted to set up a dragon kingdom there when I’m older.” Archer answered as he approached a bookshelf.

nAslan nodded his head before motioning at the books and spoke pleasantly. ”You’re welcome to learn any spell in here if you wish. I’ll leave you here because I have to deal with matters of state.”

nArcher turned to see a Dragon-kin man standing at the door waiting for the king. He nodded to the man and handed him two bracelets, which confused the elder dragon.”

nHe held up his wrist and showed Aslan as he explained. ”These are for you and Tiamara. Send mana into it, and you can contact me if you need help.”

nAslan smiled as he thanked Archer, but then a look of shock appeared. The older dragon rushed to a shelf before searching for a specific spellbook.

nWhen Archer saw this, he walked over to him and asked in a confused voice. ”Are you going, senile old man?”

n”No, we need your help with something, boy. Do you want the location of a horde of treasure that belongs to my father?”

nArcher’s eyes narrowed in suspicion, which caught Aslan off guard, but he quickly explained in full. ”Our fields have been dry for weeks now, and if this continues, we will lose this year’s harvest, but here’s a spell that will allow you to produce water over them to sustain them until the rains return.”

nWhen he heard the dragon’s reasoning, he nodded before questioning. ”Why haven’t you recovered the treasure? You’re a demi-god. Is there something guarding it that’s stronger than you or Tiamara?”

nAslan nodded with a sigh before informing him. ”Unfortunately, an undead dragon guards the treasure, and sea beasts of demi-

ngod rank or lower guard the island. So it’s impossible to travel there.”

nHe still wasn’t convinced, so he questioned the king. ”Why not fly over it?”

n”We did, but the sea beast’s reach is far, and the undead dragon attacks when I get closer. I can escape from it, but fighting it is out of the question.” Aslan commented as he found the book he was looking for and handed it to him.

nHe took it and saw it was a water spell, but Archer knew he didn’t need to learn it, so he refused it before declaring with a grin. ”I can do it without the spell. Just show me the place you need help with.”

nWhen the elder dragon heard this, he smiled before leading Archer out of the library and along some corridors before reaching a courtyard. He summoned his silver wings and soared into the air. .

nAfter doing this, Archer did the same thing and followed the king as they flew over the city until they reached the grasslands. The two flew for an hour until they reached loads of farms dotted all over the land.

nAslan landed and spoke from up high. “When Frostwinter began, we thought we had plenty of food in our storerooms. But we used too much this year. So, the farmers decided to grow kupak, our winter crop. It only lasts a week at best, but it grows fast in the mana-rich soil.”

nWhen Archer heard this, he nodded and started casting Mana Manipulation. He imagined tons of water raining down, helping all the crops.

nAslan’s POV

nAslan watched the boy float higher than him and closed his eyes. When he saw this, he wondered what Archer would do, but dark clouds appeared overhead.

nHe was surprised when rain started falling and washed over the dry crops. When the farmers below saw this, they started cheering, which made Aslan smile.

nAfter the boy finished, he turned to him with a grin. ”Anywhere else need watering, old man?”

nWhen Aslan heard this, he got annoyed but ignored the teasing and nodded. ”Yes. All the farms need water, and when you’re done, I’ll give you the map to the treasure.”

nArcher’s eyes glowed once the word treasure was mentioned, but he soon rushed off. That day, he got reports of people getting wet all over the island when random rain storms appeared, which gave him a headache.

nBut Aslan was thankful for the Archer’s help. He waited a few hours, but the boy didn’t return, so he went to find his wife standing on a balcony overlooking the Silvershade Kingdom’s capital.

nHe landed beside her, and her silver eyes turned toward him as she inquired in a curious voice. ”What did you get him to do?”

nAslan chuckled before revealing the details. ”I promised him father’s treasure if he helps with the crops.”

nWhen Tiamara heard his words, her eyes widened in shock. She quickly shook her head and scolded him. ”Why would you do such a thing? The boy could die if he ventured there!”

nHe backed off when he saw his wife’s anger before explaining his reasoning. ”This white dragon is different. He won’t go rushing in there and will think logically. All Archer has to do is wait.”

nBut as soon as he finished speaking, loud thuds were heard at the door, and a maid rushed in without being ordered.

nTiamara saw the look on the Dragon-kin woman’s face and demanded. ”Valessia! What’s wrong?”

nThe maid looked nervous as she reported the news. ”The guest your Majesty was entertaining was spotted flying over Southwatch Fortress, and when the soldiers attempted to stop him, he ignored them and sped up.”

nIf there are any mistakes, point them out, and I’ll edit it. Thanks
