BXBX NOVEL Chapter 242 How Was Your Day
Upon hearing this, both adults had different reactions. Agamemnon started cackling with amusement, while Cassandra felt embarrassed.
Agamemnon stopped laughing as he spoke, "Well, Cassandra you shouldn't jump to conclusions. Some women like it rough."
She got less angry and gave the naughty boy a serious look before saying, "Be quiet, you naughty kid. You understand what I'm saying."
Then she turned her head and sighed, which made Archer think of girls who acted like that. But it surprised him to see a grown-up lady behaving that way.
He laughed but started speaking to the older couple. After they chatted for a few hours, Cassandra asked, ''When are you guys leaving?''
Archer answered, ''Soon, I want to reach the Land of Plenty before winter. I don't want to travel across the Uncharted Beastlands while it's snowing.''
Agamemnon nodded his head as he spoke. ''Good idea, I heard stories of people vanishing on the road during the winters.''
He acknowledged the warning and made a mental note to be careful on their journey. That was when Cassandra called out to one of the maids waiting off to the side.
After a minute, a maid appeared holding a ring. She handed it to Hemera and spoke. ''This is full of food, potions, and gold coins. You can use it on your travel, but I expect to see you lot at least twice a month.''
Upon hearing her request, Archer accepted it with a nod, pleasing the older woman. Hemera smiled at her mother and spoke. ''Thanks, Mater. We will come back to visit all the time, especially when Frostwinter arrives.''
The other girls nodded their heads, agreeing with the Sun Elf. The older woman smiled when she heard her daughter's reply.
Agamemnon then asked a question. ''Why did you appear so late? What were you doing in the morning?''
Archer smiled when he heard the question and gave him an honest answer. ''I cleared the forest of bandits, it was a few miles away from the capital.''
The adults' eyes widened, and Cassandra spoke. ''You cleared the bandits from Elathea Forest?''
He nodded at the woman's words. ''Yes Mater, if that's the name, I didn't know it I just found them and relieved them of their treasure.''
Agamemnon's eyes widened when he heard the boy's words. ''Did you find a group of girls? They were being held captive.''
Archer nodded his head and explained what he found, he also told them that his people will heal the girls.
But he was curious. ''Who are they?''
The man looked hesitant to tell him but Cassandra spoke up. ''They were orphans who we were going to take it and train to become guards of our daughters but knowing what they've been through I won't ask anything of them.''
Archer smiled, having learned more about the girls he rescued. After bidding their farewells, they all jumped through the portal he had opened.
The group entered the treehouse, each of them engaging in their own activities. Ella, Sera, and Hemera had plans to explore the nearby tent city.
Curious about their intentions, Archer inquired about their outing, and the three girls mentioned their interest in looking around and buying some food for dinner.
With a warm smile, Archer pecked each girl on the cheek before they departed. As he watched them leave, he heard footsteps approaching.
Turning around, he saw Nefertiti walking up to him with a big smile on her face. She addressed him affectionately, "Husband, can you open a Gate home, please? I want to talk to Mother before meeting you."
Archer nodded in agreement, tenderly pecking Nefi on her forehead before responding, "Yes, of course, Nefi. I shall see you later."
He opened a Gate for her, and she stepped through. Once she was through, the portal closed. Archer then opened another Gate, leading to the road heading north.
As he stepped onto the road, he continued his journey. Walking along, he decided to have a sweet bread he had with him.
After finishing the bread, he started eating the 400 hearts he had collected during his bandit hunt. He had looted most of them from the defeated foes.
Archer chomped down on the hearts, devouring them as if they were gummy bears. However, after a few hours of this, he felt sick and ended up throwing up due to overeating.
When he stood up straight, Archer noticed a pond in the distance, enticing him to take a moment to relax.
He decided to head towards it for a brief rest and to get over the stomach ache he had.
Upon reaching the pond, he felt the desire to rest up in a tree. Archer quickly found a suitable tree and, just like the agile monkey he is, he skillfully climbed up its branches.
Lying down on a comfortable spot on the tree, he took a moment to check his status.

[Level Up: 294>301]
[Rank Up: Arch Magus>High Mage]
[SP: 0>416]
[Cosmic Sword: 6>7]
[Blink: 5>6]
Archer felt delighted about creating a new spell, but he chose to postpone practicing it for now.
As he sat up, he focused on upgrading his stats. With determination, Archer distributed 100 points into Mana, and 50 into all other stats except Intelligence, which received 66 points.
[Hp: 6700>7200]
[Mana: 30750>33750]

[Constitution: 5320>5820]
[Stamina: 5600>6100]
[Charisma: 4870>5370]
[Intelligence: 5160>5760]
Pleased with the upgrades, he finally decided to continue on. Feeling much better, he jumped off the branch and continued along the road as the afternoon sun beamed down.
He saw a few caravans but ignored them. After traveling for a few hours, the sun started to set as he stepped onto a road that bordered the sea.
That's when his Aura Detector picked up dozens of pings coming from the water. Archer looked and spotted a group of shark-looking beasts. Curious, he decided to scan the creatures.
[Abyssalshark]
[Rank: A+]
As he watched the beasts, another ping appeared on his detector. He got even more curious as he saw a large octopus-looking beast attacking the sharks.
Intrigued, Archer took to the sky and watched the frenzy, scanning the new arrival.
[Cepheidra]
[Rank: S]
Not wanting to watch any longer, he carried on flying. Soon, he spotted a town in the distance and passed over it.
Archer saw a market with loads of townspeople roaming around, the town was bustling with people and noise.
There were guards shooing away the children and merchants bargaining with the people. That's when he realized he was three days away from the Lunaris border.
Once the sun set, Archer entered the domain to find the girls cooking, he dismissed his wings. Teuila was awake now and looked away from him as he spotted her.
He laughed when he saw her reaction, causing all the girls to turn to him. They all smiled when they spotted him, except for Teuila, who was too embarrassed.
Archer spoke, "Hey girls, how was your day?"
Ella spoke first, "It was fun. We explored the city and visited many shops. The dragon-kin has set up really well, and the people seem to love it here."
He nodded with a big smile as he heard the half-elf speak, that's when Nefertiti appeared and smiled like a fox when she saw him.
Hemera spoke up, "Archer, can we read tomorrow, please? I want to show you some books."
Archer looked at the Sun Elf and nodded before replying. ''I promise we will do it tomorrow evening Hemi.''
Hemera smiled and went back to reading, Teuila still wouldn't look at him. Archer wondered where that little dragon went until he felt her on his back.
Sera started biting his ears causing a shiver to run over his body, she giggled as she was attacking his ear.
The other girls laughed but Nefertiti commented. ''Why do you have to keep biting his ears?''
That was when Teuila finally decided to speak as she stopped next to Ella. ''She used to do that before she got her humanoid form. It was their thing.''
Ella nodded her head as Nefertiti huffed and stopped speaking, soon after that Sera was done and jumped off him.
She went to sit down as she laughed. Archer watched her perky ass as she swayed it trying to tease him but he managed to control himself.
That was when he grabbed a hold of the sulking Nefertiti and spoke. ''Girls, I'll be gone for an hour or so. Ella, will you be cooking again?''
The blonde nodded her head with a smile as she replied. ''Sera will be helping, I'll try to drag Hemi to help as well.''
Archer nodded his head as he cast Gate to a place in the far south of the Southland. When the portal opened he walked through it while dragging Nefertiti along with him.
When they stepped out of the portal they stepped into a jungle, Archer whispered to himself. ''Draconis.''
