A Journey That Changed The World.-Chapter 1267: Nightflowers!

Some time passed by, and Archer was now tipsy as he drank enough ale to affect him. Halime raised an amused brow as she watched him before teasing him with a giggle. ’’Careful, dragon boy. That stuff isn’t for the faint of heart.’’

He chuckled, a little slower than usual. ’’Pfft, I can handle it gorgeous.’’

Following that, he picked up the last bottle he had out and nearly tipped over before catching himself. Llyniel smirked, crossing her arms. ’’Uh-huh. Says the handsome guy, who’s swaying like a tree in a storm.’’

Archer waved them off, taking another sip, only to misjudge and nearly miss his mouth. The two women exchanged knowing looks before bursting into laughter. Moments later, Halime took the bottle while speaking in an amused voice.

’’No more for you. Why don’t you come check the bed you made for us? It looks comfortable,’’ she said with a giggle.

He nodded in agreement and attempted to stand, only to stumble as his balance was off. The women immediately moved to steady him but struggled under his weight. Llyniel let out a playful groan.

’’Of course, it had to be us, two petite women trying to support a giant. Where is Teuila or Nala when you need them?’’ she giggled, shooting Halime an exasperated look.

The snake woman smirked, adjusting her grip on him. ’’Less complaining, more lifting girl. Let’s get him to bed so we can go gather those plants.’’

With a shared sigh and a few more stumbles, they half-dragged, half-guided Archer toward the villa, his tipsy mumblings only adding to their amusement. Five minutes later, he was resting on the bed.

’’Let’s go, Hali,’’ the wood elf said in a cheerful voice. ’’We can make him some tea for when he wakes up.’’

After setting Archer into bed, Halime and Llyniel quietly leave the villa, leaving him to sleep off the dragon ale. Hours passed in peaceful silence until a series of deafening explosions shattered the peace.

He jolted awake when hearing the sound, heart pounding while thinking. ’What the hell is going on now?!’

Without hesitation, he teleported to Halime, expecting danger, only to find both women casually blasting a massive rock, their expressions focused as if this were completely normal, causing him to shake his head.

’’What are you two doing?!’’ he demanded, his sharp tone cutting through the air.

Both women shrieked in surprise, spinning around like guilty children caught mid-mischief. Llyniel nearly dropped her staff, while Halime quickly hid a glowing spell in her palm, laughing nervously.

’’Oh, we found something and were trying to open it,’’ the elf explained innocently, brushing dust off her hands.

Archer stared at them, running a hand down his face with an exhausted sigh. ’’And it never occurred to you to come get me? Instead of nearly giving me a heart attack? I thought you were under attack!’’

The brown-skinned beauty shrugged, glancing at the rock as if it were no big deal. ’’Well, technically, we are attacking something...’’

Llyniel nodded with an innocent smile. ’’Yeah, just not the way you thought.’’

Archer groaned, rubbing his temples. ’’I swear, between the both of you and Sera, I’ll be gray before my time.’’

Halime grinned when hearing his words as she teased. ’’Relax, dragon boy. I doubt you’ll age much, so you’re safe.’’

The wood elf couldn’t help but join in. ’’If we don’t blow you up first,’’ she said with a mischievous giggle.

"I will now call you both gremlins, just like Seraphina," Archer replied while glancing around. ’’Do you want me to destroy the boulder?’’

The snake woman’s eyes gleamed before nodding, ’’Yes, please! And we’re not gremlins. Don’t lump us in with that demoness or she’ll love it!’’ she exclaimed.

’’No! That dragon will terrorize us again. The last time it happened, we had to chase her out of the lab as she was teasing the test subjects,’’ Llyniel revealed in a fed-up tone.

He started laughing when seeing the women’s expressions, which was amusing, causing him to think, ’Sera is hilarious with her trolling. I’ll pamper her soon.’’

Without answering the wood elf, he approached the boulder and used Mana Manipulation to crush it into dust like it was nothing to him. Archer grunted because of the amount of energy he used up, causing him to look at his hand.

’Was that a spell? It seems so,’ he mused. ’But the mana seems old.’

When Halime and Llyniel saw the boulder disappear, their excitement surged. They couldn’t help but rush in his direction, which caught him off guard, showering him with quick kisses in their thrill.

He grinned, savoring the moment, before playfully pointing at the entrance. ’’Seems like someone wanted to keep this place a secret. Explore your discovery and tell me what you find,’’ he said.

When hearing that, they darted toward it, stepping into the shadows of the cave, with him trailing closely behind while scanning their surroundings. Moments later, he bumped into the wood elf, who had come to a sudden stop just inside.

He looked down and asked in a curious tone, ’’What’s wrong, ladies?’’

’’This must be an alchemist’s hideout,’’ Halima suddenly said, before continuing on. ’’There are hundreds of plants in here. Some I haven’t seen since I was a little girl.’’

The snake girl started looking around before grabbing the elf with wide eyes and a shocked look on her pretty face, ’’Lyn look! Nightflowers!’’

Archer couldn’t help but smile at the sound of their excitement, but his attention quickly shifted to the hidden cavern before him. It was vast, with tunnels branching off in every direction.

Raised flower beds adorned with beautiful flowers, wild weeds, and a variety of plants filled the space, adding a touch of beauty and mystery. There were shelves lining the walls with potions stocked neatly.

’Why does this place feel so ancient?’ he wondered, his curiosity piqued as he approached an old, weathered desk nearby.

Meanwhile, Halime and Llyniel were absorbed in their discovery of rare ingredients and other stuff scattered throughout the cave. Moments later, he came across loads of papers and went through them.

His eyes widened in shock as he thought, ’This place is over eight hundred years old. How is it still in good condition?’

Archer shook his head before calling out to the women, ’’Halime, Llyniel. Come here and check this out. It may interest to you both.’’

They wandered over as Archer’s voice broke the silence, calm yet filled with a quiet sense of discovery. ’’This place seems abandoned,’’ he said, gesturing to the dust that coated every surface. ’’Everything’s covered in layers of it. This place is nearly a thousand years old.’’

’’Oh goddess,’’ Llyniel answered with wide brown eyes. ’’We’ve come across a treasure trove for us.’’

Halime agreed with an excited nod as she exclaimed, ’’This place needs to be locked down. If the Alliance finds it, we could be in trouble.’’

When Archer heard this, his eyes narrowed before reassuring them in a confident voice, ’’You two sort out this place and I’ll hide the cave.’’

Following that, they went off again while he walked toward the entrance and started using Mana Manipulation to create boulders that would hide the lab from the outside world, but it wasn’t enough.

With focus, Archer used his power, summoning two invisible gates. Only he and his harem knew about these hidden portals. Anyone else who ventured near would remain oblivious to their existence.

’This will be a good place for us to come to rest whenever I need a break from the war,’ he mused before teleporting to the oasis house and standing outside while admiring his surroundings.

Crystal-clear water shimmered, surrounded by lush greenery and towering trees that whispered in the breeze. Creatures that resembled gazelles, rhinos, and all kinds of other beasts roamed the area.

To his surprise, they paid him no attention, as if sensing he posed no threat. Archer remained still, watching them move about. The setting sun bathed the landscape in a warm, golden-orange glow, casting long shadows that stretched across the oasis.

Afterward, Archer started a fire outside, the crackling flames providing warmth as the air grew cold thanks to being in a desert. He sat back, his eyes tracing the sky as the stars twinkled into existence, their light slowly overtaking the fading glow of the sunset.

Before long, the sound of footsteps reached his ears. Halime and Llyniel emerged from the cave, their faces lighting up with wonder. But when the women’s eyes fell upon the gate he had created for them.

’’What are these?’’ Halime asked, her gaze fixed on the shimmering air where the gate stood.

Archer smiled, watching them carefully as he leaned back. ’’Just a little something to hide your new lab from the outside world. Now only me, you and the other harem members can enter it or even see the gate,’’ he revealed with a charming smile.
