Chapter 570 The Witch Queen

Chapter 570 The Witch Queen

''I'm seventeen, turning eighteen next year.'' He replied to the dragon woman with a grin.

Ashara just looked at him before giggling, which caught Archer's attention. He asked while watching the green-haired woman laugh.

He waited for her to calm down, and soon she did. When Ashara stopped laughing, she explained. ''So you're a baby dragon, yet so powerful already. You could easily fight the dragon generals to a standstill.'' nove(l)bi(n.)com

Archer listened as she approached and started examining his scales again before demanding. ''Take your top off!''

When hearing Ashara's demand, he was shocked and wondered why she wanted to see him topless. Lewd thoughts ran wild, but the woman chopped his head before clarifying. ''I want to see your scales. Not your body, you lewd baby dragon.''

''I'm not a baby. Stop calling me that.'' He replied before taking off his top.

After taking off his shirt, Ashara offered him her first smile. "In human years, you're a teenager, yes. But remember, Archer Wyldheart, you're not a human but a dragon."

But after that, she started studying him and flicked his scales, causing Archer to grow even more confused, so he asked. ''Eh, what are you doing?''

"I merely wished to look at your scales. The tales spoke true about them resembling gems; I must concede, the rumors were accurate. Yours shimmer like a Faerysong Diamond."

He nodded in response before turning his attention to the Tressym. Ashara looked at the fluffy cat, and her black eyes sparkled. Archer saw this and commented. ''You can stroke her if you want. Tressym's love affection and people who offer it.''

When Ashara heard this, a bright smile appeared on her face. The flying cat showed him all the information it had gathered before flying over to the dragon woman and receiving many pets and cuddles.

Following this, the Tressyms returned to tell him their findings and were showered with affection by him as he spoiled each one. Once the cats had their fill, they retreated to the domain to rest.

The dragon woman turned to him and answered his previous question, which Archer had forgotten. ''I don't care about the war. It's a waste of life, as many dragons and witches die. We lose so much knowledge that could do the world good.''

He looked at her when she spoke and wondered what she was talking about until he remembered his warning about going into the witch's lands. Archer nodded in understanding before speaking. ''That's fine. I hate war as well, so we have that in common.''

After that, Archer was aware of the Swarm's tunnel locations, thanks to the flying cats. Glancing at Ashara, he grinned, "Are you ready?"

She nodded and summoned her wings, causing Archer to do the same. He jumped off the side of the mountain and flew north as the first tunnel was at the base of a forest-covered swamp. The two dragons glided gracefully through the sky, parting the billowing clouds in their path.

The night sky unfolded above, casting its radiant glow upon the sprawling land beneath. Archer found himself captivated by the sheer beauty of the scene, and when Ashara noticed his expression, she smiled before getting closer.

Vespera stared at the dragon, whom she'd never seen before, until the rumors returned to her and the white scales gave away the boy's identity. That's when she asked in a curious voice. ''Are you perhaps Archer? The white dragon everyone's talking about.''

After her comment, she observed his nod. Vespera took in Archer's appearance, realizing her daughter and nieces hadn't done justice to his handsome looks. His short white hair and glowing violet eyes intrigued her, but his strong jaw and handsome features stood out.

The smile he gave her made her feel something stirring inside her, and she chose to ignore it. ''What are you doing in my kingdom? I didn't expect you yet.''

She witnessed Archer pull out some chocolate and start eating it, creating a chair out of nowhere. He motioned for her to sit down, which she did as he spoke. ''Tiamat told me about the Swarm launching an attack on your kingdom, and I'm here to stop it.''

Archer pointed to the now filled-in hole, which the Swarm couldn't use. Vespera looked toward it and sensed the volatile mana radiating from it. She grew confused, so she asked. ''What have you done to it?''

Vespera watched as his eyes scanned her body before he answered. ''If they try to dig up again, I will be alerted and return to deal with them. But I expect a suitable reward, witch queen.''

When she heard his words, she got angry and demanded. ''Why should I reward you? I can deal with them myself. I am a demi-

god and will have no issues dealing with the creatures!''

[Back to Archer]

Archer saw the angry look on the older woman's face and loved it, but he soon revealed it with a grin. ''Where can you find their tunnels? I know where the last two are now and can deal with them for you. Obvious for a price.''

When Vespera heard this, she sighed but spoke with a warning. ''If you double-cross me, I'll make sure you pay for it?''

He smiled before standing up and summoned his wings before taking off. Archer flew east, followed by the witch queen, who was ranting about the cheeky dragon she came across and decided to scold her daughter for not telling her what he liked.

Archer looked back to see her right behind him. He wondered how they flew but put it down to some witch magic he didn't bother about. The two flew for half an hour until they saw a lush jungle.

When he saw that, he recognized it from Tressym's memories. Vespera stopped next to him and spoke in a worried tone. ''We're close to the water dragon lands. They will try to attack me if they knew I was here.''
