Chapter 73 On The Road Again

n“Would you like breakfast, Master?” the brownie asked.
nArcher nodded and walked over to the table.
nHe sat down and said. “Thank you.”
nAfter waiting for a little while, the brownie brought some food over, and Archer looked at it.
nIt was a red soup with a chunk of freshly baked bread.
nHe took a spoon and started to eat, enjoying it.
nSera opened her eyes and leaned over to try the soup, slurping it.
nArcher stared at the cheeky dragon and went to get another bowl, shaking his head.
nAs he savored a mouthful of tasty food, he felt a soft nibble on his ear, sending a shiver down his spine.
nTurned to the cheeky dragon and he said. “It feels nice but it’s really distracting you know.”
nBut she paid no attention to his words and continued nibbling on his ear as if it were a normal occurrence.
nHe gave up and resumed eating, occasionally getting shivers from her playful actions.
nAfter finishing his meal, Archer decided to check out his domain.
nWhen he left the cottage he strolled down the walkway, accompanied by Sera’s affectionate licks along the way.
nIgnoring the silly dragon, he made his way toward the tents.
nAs he was walking, Archer saw families laughing and people working to improve the camp.
nWith no threats present, everyone seemed extremely relaxed and greeted him by bowing, even though they were twice his size.
nSmiling as he passed by he made his way toward Jethro’s tent.
nAlong the way, he saw Sagana jumping towards a giant of a man with red hair and horns, hugging him tightly.
nArcher stopped walking and watched the scene, feeling a pang of longing for Ella.
nShaking his head to remind himself that they would see each other again, Archer continued on his way to the tent until he heard a voice calling out to him.
n“My King!”
nTurning towards the voice, he saw Sagana walking up to him with the tall man in tow.
nHe watched them get closer as Sagana rushed over to him, her eyes bright with excitement.
n“My King, I have someone I want you to meet,” she said.
nGesturing towards a tall, muscular man with a kind smile.
n“This is my husband, Drogath,” she explained, beaming with pride.
n“He didn’t come straight away because he was busy saving more of our kind from slavery in the Kagia Kingdom.”
nImpressed by his bravery, Archer nodded and said.
n“Thank you for saving them.”
nDrogath clasped Archer’s hand firmly and replied.
n“It’s an honor to meet you, my King,” his voice deep and resonant.
nSagana continued.
n“And there’s something else I wanted to tell you. It’s incredibly helpful that the slave collars fall off when Dragon-kin enters the Domain. We’ve been able to free so many of our people because of it.”
nArcher remembered when he first brought Sagana, he had pictured the collars falling off when they entered the Domain.
n“That’s good, how many have been saved?” Archer asked.
nDrogath quickly spoke up.
n“I brought back close to a thousand but ran out of Dragon Tokens. There are still many more of our kin to be saved in the Kagia Kingdom.”
nSagana spoke up.
n“I brought back close to 2,000 Dragon-kin, but I still want to go search for more.”
nShe looked at her husband as she finished speaking, and both of them dropped down to one knee.
nThe two of them were now at Archer’s height.
nSagana asked.
n”My King, if possible, could you create more Dragon Tokens?'”
nArcher closed his eyes and imagined thousands of tokens appearing in front of the two Dragon-kin.
nThey looked up and were shocked to see a mountain of tokens.
nGrinning, he asked, “Is that enough?”
nThe two of them nodded and smiled as they stood up, putting the tokens into their storage rings.
nArcher’s curiosity was piqued.
n“Where did you get those rings from?” he inquired.
nDrogath didn’t hesitate to reply.
n“We acquired them from the slavers when Sagana first found me and gave me the tokens. Speaking of which, may I ask you something, my king?”
nArcher nodded at the man.
n“How does this all work? How are we able to travel back and forth?”
nHe expected this line of question but not so soon, so he began to speak.
n”After my evolution, I created this space, and while I’m inside, I have the power to manifest anything I desire, as long as I possess enough mana. The tokens required to teleport individuals to the domain are formed from my own mana, and anyone who imbues mana into them will be transported here.”
nEveryone nodded, and he decided to show the adults what he can do.
n”Step this way.”
nArcher created a large dirt platform enough for a dozen people to stand on.
nJust as he was about to take off, a green-haired girl ran up to him.
nShe looked up at him with her bright red eyes and a big smile on her face.
nNodding as he held out his hand, she eagerly took it.
nAs they were getting ready to take off, a woman with short green hair rushed towards them. When she reached the platform, she kneeled down and spoke.
n“My King, I’m sorry for my daughter Rafyelle bothering you,” the woman said.
nHolding her head down.
nShe felt grateful to the young dragon king, as he was the one who had helped free them.
nHe smiled and replied. ”She’s fine, I enjoy her company.”
nUpon hearing Archer’s response, Rafyelle’s mother looked up with wide eyes and saw her daughter holding the King’s hand with a happy smile.
nSuddenly, everyone heard happy chirping. When they all looked at Archer, they saw a little dragon with butterfly wings rubbing against him.
nRafyelle’s eyes sparkled as she noticed Sera, a little dragon perched on Archer’s shoulder.
n“Why is there a little dragon on your shoulder?” she asked quickly.
nArcher looked down as he replied.
n”I met her during my travels through the treacherous Blackwoods. She was in need of help, and I couldn’t leave her behind.”
nSera squinted her eyes and chirped at Rafyelle before nibbling on Archer’s right ear.
nHe shivered but ignored it, and the three adults laughed at the playful interaction between the two.
nDrogath spoke up.
n“That’s a fairy dragon, a rare creature.”
nArcher looked up at the man with curiosity, causing him to laugh.
n”My King, they don’t show themselves to people often, when one acts like she is they are bonded for life, and to be honest she seems to love you already.”
nHe felt her tail wrap around his neck and settled down, falling asleep.
nShaking his head as he replied to the man.
n“Well, I don’t mind. So far, I’ve enjoyed her company,” he said with a smile.
nThe couple nodded and raised the platform they were all standing on until they were high above the tent city.
nClosing his eyes, he doubled the Domain size for 6000 mana and quickly checked his remaining mana.
nMana: 3080
/9080
nThe three adults and little Rafyelle were amazed by the breathtaking views.
nA tent city stretched out into the distance, eventually meeting a massive river that flowed into the desert grasslands.
nIn the distance, a massive forest stood at the base of a mountain range, and fluffy white clouds floated past in the sky.
nArcher raised his hands, closed his eyes, and pictured a massive forest bordering the tent city.
nMoving his hand towards the river he imagined a sturdy stone bridge crossing it, leading to the other side.
nWith a sweep of his hands, he raised mountains leaving the people on the platform in shock, he swept his hand back and a forest appeared at the base of the mountains.
nThe forest stretched on for miles covering the base.
nWhen he finished he quickly checked his mana.
nMana: 1080
/9080
n“I think I have enough mana left.”
nArcher said, feeling confident.
nPicturing a bunch of small beasts appearing in front of the forest.
nThey looked around and darted into the forest.
nArcher lowered the platform under the shocked gaze of the people.
nHe turned to look at them and spoke.
n“I’m going to see Jethro. Good luck with your search, you two. I’ll see you later Rafyelle and her mother”
nNodding towards Sagana and Drogath before walking towards the old man’s tent. 𝘳.𝑐ℴ
nWhen he entered the tent, he saw Jethro sitting there, reading some papers.
nNot noticing Archer until Sera chirped catching the old man’s attention. Jethro looked up and smiled.
n“My King, I hope you’re okay. That little girl was panicking when she appeared. I had to lead her to the cottage and let her in. I hope you don’t mind,” Jethro said.
nArcher smiled in response.
n”That’s okay, there’s more forest for wood, we can start building wooden houses.”
nThe old man nodded his head and smiled. Archer spent an hour talking about the Domain and the newly arrived Dragon-kin, who were shocked at their first sight of the place.
nHe told Archer that they are settling in well and were starting to contribute.
nAfter bidding the old man farewell and departing from the Domain, Archer activated his Draconic Form.
n“Draconis.”
nCrouching down Archer launched himself into the air, looking for the caravan along the same path they had previously traveled.
