Archer was pleased with the Deepsea Mining Platform but had a few questions. He asked Farrah, ”What type of resources are under the seafloor?”

The brown-haired girl rubbed her chin while thinking to herself before speaking, ”All the metals you can get from mines from the surface world, but then there’s Aquaflame Metal that can be used to create powerful weapons and armor if you have talented dwarven smiths.”

He nodded excitedly, ”What other rare metals are under there apart from Aquaflame Metal?”

”Well, we can mine an abundance of Ebonite. It will be brilliant on your navy as it can absorb magic attacks. Then there’s Arcanium, Coralite Crystals, Sea Serpent Scales, Deep-Sea Gems, Leviathan Bones, and Ghost Coral, but many more can be pulled up.”

As Archer heard this, his eyes glowed with greed, which made Farrah giggle at his reaction before he asked, ”How will we keep the miners safe, and how would it even work?”

Farrah instantly answered, ”Double Mana Shields, I have come up with a generator that will cover miles of seafloor and hide the miners and builds that will be erected at the bottom.”

”Can the sea monsters break it?”

She nodded, ”Of course, if a powerful one comes along, I need to find a way to hide it better,”

When Archer heard this, an idea came to mind, ”What if a Kraken and a Demon Shark mark the mining sites before we set up?”

Farrah’s eyes widened, ”That could work, but those monsters are elusive and hard to bargain with, so we might as well forget about that idea.”

Archer started chuckling, catching the brown-haired girl’s attention. Her red eyes turned to him with a questioning look. “Don’t worry; you’ll see soon. But prepare anything you want to bring, and I’m taking you back to Draconia to work with the dwarf sisters to create this.”

A bright smile spread across Farrah’s face as excitement bubbled up, and she gave Archer a warm hug. He hugged her back, sharing in her enthusiasm. Afterward, she carefully put away the blueprints and led him toward the dining room, chatting animatedly about the many plans she had in mind.

The duo walked for ten minutes until a butler opened a large wooden door, allowing them to enter. When Archer saw the inside, he sighed. It was overdone, with golden decorations lining the walls.

Painting with golden frames and many other wasteful things caused him to think to himself, ‘Such a waste of coin. This amount could build an apartment block for the people.’

Archer shook his head as Fianna stood up with a bright smile as she spoke, ”I hope your talk was fruitful.”

”Farrah is an intelligent woman,” he said. ”She’s agreed to join me on my trip back to Draconia so she can work with the dwarves in my kingdom.”

The older woman’s eyes widened in shock, but quickly replied, ”That’s brilliant. I’m glad little Farrah can finally follow her passion.”

Just as Faith was going to speak, a deep voice was heard, ”My daughter will not be joining a bandit king who collects women and interferes with a long-standing marriage.”

Archer’s ears twitched, causing him to turn around. He saw a tall human man with dark brown hair and brown eyes, who reminded him of his father due to their similarities, as the two men shared the same build and mannerisms.

This caused Archer to chuckle as he replied, ”Oh wow, father has a double. Are you sure you’re not an uncle of mine, Duke Everrose?”

He watched the man’s eyebrow raise, ”You don’t know? What has my stupid big brother been doing with his offspring.”

Archer’s eyes widened before confirming, ”You’re Leonard’s little brother?”

The man nodded, ”Yes, I’m Duke Rylon Everrose. I was an Ashguard until my mother and father married me into the Everrose family.”

When he heard this, Archer started laughing, and the others around him expressed shock, especially Farrah, who looked like she would be sick. Soon after that, he calmed down and looked toward the brown-haired girl.

He saw her reaction and guessed it was because they were cousins and kissed. Archer decided to clear the air, ”So you’re my uncle, and Fianna is my aunt by marriage, interesting.”

Rylon looked smug before speaking, ”You should put an end to those silly notions of courting my wife, nephew. You’re a little boy compared to her. I’ve heard the rumors, and after great deliberation, I’ve decided to let bygones be bygones and forget about your transgressions against me.”

Archer grinned at the Duke, ”So it’s you who is behind on the news,” he said. ”Are you aware of General Sia Silverthrone? Leader of the Dawnbreaker Legion?”

”Of course. I’ve fought alongside her many times,” Rylon replied. ”She’s a great warrior and skilled commander.”

His grin grew wider, ”And you’re aware she is the older sister to my mother? So she’s my blood aunt, yes?”

Rylon nodded, wondering where this was going, but a bad feeling welled up deep inside him as Archer continued, ”And you’ve heard she’s soon to be married? When her fiance grows up more?”

That’s when the Duke’s eyes widened. Realizing where he was going with the questions, he pleased Archer by saying, ”Ahh, so it seems you’ve just figured it out.”

Archer chuckled at the man’s reaction, ”You see, uncle, when the great Tiamat gave me this gift, it destroyed the old Archer, and I was born; blood ties mean nothing to me as I’m no longer the old me. I’m a dragon, a being of destruction and devastation,which I’ve already proved. The charred armies you no doubt witnessed were proof of that.”

He stepped closer to the Duke and continued, ”So if you think I will stop chasing Fianna, you’re wrong.”

Rylon’s face turned bright red, and she was about to reply, but a maid rushed into the hall and told the Duke, ”My Lord, Lady Brooke has arrived and wants to join you for dinner.”

Archer grew curious, ‘Oma? It’s got to be.’

”Let her in before I deal with my errant nephew,’ Rylon said before walking toward the head of the table and taking a seat.

A stunning, mature woman glided into the hall as the door swung open. Archer’s eyes were drawn to the striking similarities she shared with his father, Jade, and Rylon. Her long, luscious brown hair cascaded down her back, tied elegantly into a ponytail.

Archer couldn’t help but notice the captivating allure of her deep green eyes, reminiscent of his father and aunt, yet she exuded a beauty that mesmerized him. She possessed the same regal grace as Jade but with an added touch of refinement that spoke of her age and experience.

However, Archer couldn’t help but fixate on her enormous, jiggling breasts as she walked toward them. ‘Damn,’ he thought, ‘so that’s where Jade gets it from.’

The woman’s gaze was fixed on Rylon, but she abruptly halted as she caught sight of Archer. A look of utter astonishment crossed her features, and her eyes widened in complete shock when she stared at him.

He chuckled at the mature woman’s reaction before speaking, ”Hello, Oma. It’s good to meet you.”

In a sudden and bewildering turn of events, Brooke Ashguard, the Duchess of the Ashguard Family, vanished from view, leaving everyone in the room puzzled. Moments later, she reappeared right before Archer, catching him completely off guard.

He met her gaze as she spoke, her words carrying a weight of remorse and revelation.

“You know, you’re the only grandchild I haven’t met. I confess that its mostly my fault,” she confessed. “Your parents hid you away and pretended you were a sickly boy so I wouldn’t bother you.”

Before Archer could reply, Brooke pulled him into a love-filled hug while she shoved his head into her enormous cleavage. While doing that, the scent of jasmine filled his nose, sending his senses wild.

While hugging him, Brooke looked around the room and noticed Fianna’s jealous look. This brought a smile to the older woman’s face as she vanished. Her actions confused Archer, as teleportation should be blocked.

The two reappeared on a mountaintop that wasn’t far from Valoria City. Archer asked, ”How did you teleport Oma? The Swarm blocked it.”

”Don’t call me Oma handsome,” Brooke replied seductively. ”I am Brooke to you. I may be your grandmother, but we don’t have that kind of relationship, and most likely, we won’t due to the past.”

She moved Archer back and continued with a loving smile, ”I would like to get to know my grandson and build a relationship with you if that is something you want?”

He looked into this beautiful woman’s eyes. He answered with a sly grin, ”If you wanted a family type of relationship, then shoving my head into your magnificent cleavage and looking at me like I’m your toyboy who you want to dominate isn’t helping Oma.”

Brooke started laughing as she grabbed hold of him again and shoved his head back into her boobs as she spoke, ”Ara, what a naughty grandson I have. Does he need to be punished for disrespecting his beautiful grandmother?”

Archer tried to pull himself away, but Brooke was stronger than she looked, causing him to scan her.

Brooke Ashguard

Level: 2373

Rank: Pseudo God

‘Oh ** shes so strong, what is this!’ Archer mused.

”You shouldn’t look into a lady’s secret, my handsome grandson,” Brooke commented in an annoyed tone as she pushed him away, causing Archer to crash into a nearby boulder.

He tried to get up, but she was already there and spoke, ”My ex-husband was a loser, and I won’t let my grandson be one. I’ve decided to turn you into a powerful Demigod as you’re too weak to fight the higher-ranked Swarm creatures.”
