Chapter 511 All Eight Girls
Archer stared at the elf and started laughing, which caught the man off guard. Not long after that, he calmed down and asked. ''Is that what they're calling me now? It's a good name.''
The stall owner observed him, his eyes filled with amusement, before breaking into laughter. "So, you're him, huh? The infamous White Prince. Is it true that you've kidnapped twenty princesses and collected them?"
He couldn't help but join in the laughter at the outrageous claim. Archer shook his head in amusement. "No, no, no. It's not twenty princesses. Just ten, my maid who's been with me since I was very young and a general of the Dawnbreaker Legion.
Archer chuckled to himself, contemplating the considerable number of women in his life. He continued, "I still have to tell two kings I've claimed their daughters. It's a busy schedule, you know?"
The stall owner continued to chuckle, shaking his head. "Well, you seem more harmless than the tales suggest. Your food will be done soon, White Prince."
He nodded at the elf, who asked another question. ''Why so many women? Isn't one enough.''
As the lively banter between them stopped, he leaned back in the chair, his attention turning to the bustling street again.
Archer watched Starfall City come to life, and his attention was drawn to a regiment of soldiers marching with discipline down the cobbled street.
The morning sun caught the gleam of their armor, casting a radiant sheen over their formation.
The steady beat of their boots reverberated against the stone. Archer observed their disciplined march and asked the elf, "Have there been more patrols than usual?"
"Yes, young master. Security has been heightened since the recent attacks." The older elf responded.
That's when he saw wagons rolling down the street loaded with various goods and merchandise.
The wheels creaked slightly as they navigated the uneven terrain and were guided by skilled merchants. Amidst the organized chaos, ordinary citizens of the city moved with purpose.
Some hurriedly made their way to workshops, their tools in hand, while others carried bundles of goods for the day's trade.
The street resonated with a harmonious blend of footsteps, greetings, and occasional laughter, forming a daily life symphony.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRising higher in the sky, the morning sun bathed the scene in a warm, golden glow. The air was crisp, and the city seemed to come alive under the gentle touch of the sunlight.
As Archer sat there, he continued to smell the food the elf was cooking and grew hungry, even though he had eaten breakfast.
While sitting there, he got a message from Ella through the bracelet, telling him that Nefertiti and Talila were still sleeping.
He told the half-elf that it was best to leave them in bed as they were ravaged last night and needed the rest.
Archer's answer caused her to giggle, and she told him they were still in the bath and wouldn't be ready for a little while.
Soon after, the stall owner spoke tiredly, "White Prince, your food is done."
Turning to the old elf who wiped sweat off his forehead, Archer stood up and approached the pile of food.
Archer gave thanks and started storing the hot meals in his Item Box. That's when a beautiful smell of the meat-filled roll filled the air as he took it in hand.
He left the stall behind after bidding farewell to the old elf. Wandering through the lively city streets, Archer felt the vibrant pulse of Starfall City.
People bustled about, engaged in their daily routines as he walked deeper into the city. The sounds of people gradually faded, replaced by the gentle murmur of flowing water.
Archer followed the sound until he emerged onto the banks of a large river. The morning sun reflected off the water's surface, glowing the scene gently.
He discovered a rare, quiet corner in the bustling city and seized the opportunity to find a suitable place to sit.
The area was surrounded by trees and had benches facing the river with a water fountain in the middle.
It surprised him that such a place was hidden away in the city. That's when he thought to himself. 'It's like the parks in London back on Earth.'
Settling down, he took a bite of the delicious meat-filled roll, savoring its delicious and slightly sweet flavor.
He enjoyed his meal and watched the peaceful passage of ships sailing through the water.
Lost in his thoughts, he found peace enjoying a roll by the river. While sitting there, he realized he had a date with Llyniel and Hemera after classes.
Deciding to take the wood elf to the market he had seen before. Archer started to think about a plan for Hemera and decided to take her to the Solaris Empire for their date.
Archer wanted to try sun elf food and knew she would know where to go. After planning that, he thought to himself. 'Why do I eat so much? Is it because I'm a dragon?''
He shrugged and stopped thinking about it. While he was finishing the meat roll, a massive ship sailed by.
As Archer continued to enjoy his riverside perch, he was drawn to a ship appearing on the horizon.
It was sailing down the river. It was a colossal ship, its sheer size dominating the river. The ship was a marvel of engineering, with an imposing silhouette that commanded respect.
Its deck boasted mana cannons typically used on city walls, each one a declaration of the ship's formidable offensive power.
The dark metal cannons stood out against the wooden structure, imparting elegance and power to the massive ship.
Soldiers, dressed in matching grey uniforms, moved around the deck working while others stood at the cannons, keeping watch.
The ship seemed alive with activity as crew members attended to various tasks, adjusting sails, maintaining equipment, and ensuring the ship's smooth progress down the river.
The hum of mana-powered engines echoed softly, a harmonious backdrop to the bustling scene.
Archer marveled at the fusion of magic and engineering that powered it. As it sailed past the little park he was in, he couldn't help but appreciate the craftsmanship.
Elaborate carvings adorned the ship's hull, depicting mythical creatures from the sea. Archer recognized a beast that looked like a Kraken.
Red and gold banners with a picture of a giant bear fluttered in the wind, displaying sigils that hinted at the ship's origin.
From the books Archer read, he knew the banners were from the Novgorod Empire on the central continent.
Archer stood up from the bench, leaving behind the lively morning sounds as he headed west towards the College of Magic.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter a twenty-minute walk, he reached the western gate and exited, making his way to class. During his journey, he saw other students also walking along the road.
Conversations buzzed around him, snippets of discussions about spells and magical creatures.
Passing through the college entrance, Archer found himself on the main path leading directly to the main building.
Towering spires and grand structures loomed ahead, each housing a different magic subject and classrooms.
Archer spotted the girls waiting outside the entrance, and Nala and Sera were the first to notice him.
A smile lit up the redhead's face as she hurried toward him, launching herself at Archer. He caught the enthusiastic dragon girl.
Her silly embrace made him laugh. Archer leaned down and kissed Sera. Her happiness was evident as she hugged him even tighter.
Once he did that, the others walked over to him and greeted him with a kiss each before Ella spoke. ''What class do you have first?''
''Combat Magic,'' Archer answered the half-elf with a smile. Each girl told him their classes before bidding him farewell as they headed to their lessons.
The day passed swiftly, filled with Archer absorbing the basic knowledge of various subjects.
While what he learned was beneficial to him. Now, Archer was seated in the dining room as he looked around.
Archer's eyes scanned his surroundings. Elaborate artwork adorned the walls, showing people the talent of previous college students.
Several long, polished wooden tables stretched across the hall with enough room for hundreds of students to sit down.
Intricately carved chairs surrounded them. Archer noticed a warm glow of magical lamps illuminating the dining hall, casting a soft and inviting light.
Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, refracting the light in dazzling patterns. He sat alone at the expansive dining table, a momentary solitude in the bustling hall.
Soon, all eight girls joined him, their smiles lighting up the hall. The group grew as Lioran took a seat when he appeared in the hall.
The lion sisters Leonora and Nalika trailed behind him. Laughter and friendly banter filled the air as they discussed their day, exchanging stories about their classes.
After that, Archer, Teuila, and Nala said their goodbyes and went to look for Zarina so they could do more quests for the Adventure class.
