A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 300 A Hunting Date

Archer entered the treehouse and saw all the girls apart from Hecate lazying around or sleeping.

The air felt calm, punctuated by the soft thud of arrows finding their mark. Heading towards the window, he spotted Talila busy in her archery practice.

Thatʼs when he saw Teuila training in the distance, he smiled when he saw them and turned to see the others.

Sera, Nefertiti, and Hemera were sleeping. He looked at them as Ella finally saw him. ʼʼHey Arch. How was the meeting?ʼʼ

He turned to her and saw her blue eyes shining, he walked over to her as she put her book down and answered. ʼʼI got a lot of gold and a way to get more. The emperor gets no control over me but I must help them when needed.ʼʼ

Ella beamed but nodded her head as she told him to continue.

”They want me to go to the College of Magic,” he said with a grin, giving her thigh a gentle squeeze as he continued.

”And theyʼve invited you girls too. The day after tomorrow is when I have to go meet the headmistress, and thereʼs a College Ball tomorrow that weʼve been invited to.”

She nodded her head and asked. ʼʼCan I attend with you please?ʼʼ

Archer smiled as he grabbed a hold of the girl and pulled her onto his lap. ʼʼOf course. I want you with me.ʼʼ

The half-elf got happy and pecked him on the cheek, she then remembered something and spoke. ʼʼOh, you need to take Talila out. She has mentioned it a few times.ʼʼ

When he heard he remembered, he kissed Ella and fondled with her body before getting up to go see the adventurer.

Stepping out of the treehouse, Archerʼs gaze was drawn to the beautiful figure of Talila in the distance.

She stood in a small clearing, bow in hand, her movements fluid and precise. The moonlight filtered through the trees, casting a gentle glow upon her as she trained.

Each arrow she notched was like a dance, her motions deliberate yet seemingly effortless.

The string of the bow hummed as she let go, and the arrow hit its target with a quiet thud. Talilaʼs focus was intense, and she repeated the action without wavering.

Archer leaned against a nearby tree, his eyes fixed on her. He admired the way she moved, the confidence in her stance, and the skill with which she handled her weapon.

There was a certain elegance in her actions, a natural connection between her and the bow that spoke of countless hours of practice.

As Archer watched, a sense of admiration and respect grew within him. He marveled at her dedication.

Talila was more than just an adventurer; she was a living testament to discipline and determination.

Time seemed to slip away as he observed her, lost in the rhythm of her practice. Eventually, as if sensing his presence, Talila lowered her bow and turned towards him.

Her lips curled into a warm smile as she approached. ”Enjoying the show?” she asked playfully, a teasing glint in her eyes.

Archer chuckled, his eyes admiring her toned body. ”Definitely.”

She shrugged modestly, a touch of pride in her expression. ”Iʼve faced my fair share of challenges. Being skilled with a bow has its advantages.”

He nodded, acknowledging her statement. ”Indeed, your talent is quite remarkable. Do you want to go on that date?”

Talila turned her head away as she smiled but had to act stubborn, he saw this though, and grinned.

Archer was just about to talk again but she interrupted him. ʼʼWhere do you want to go?ʼʼ

He quickly answered. ʼʼWe can go hunting then get something to eat.ʼʼ

She nodded in response, and as he noticed, he sent a message to Ella that they were heading out before summoning his wings.

Archer picked the elf up into a princess carry and began to fly, he opened a portal to the city entrance and passed through.

The two of them flew around the central Duchy while he scanned the area until he found some bandits in a forest to the east.

They landed not far away, Talila turned to him with narrowed eyes before speaking. ʼʼThis is your idea of a date? Hunting bandits?ʼʼ

Archer smiled as he grabbed her hand and led them toward the group. After traveling for a little while they came across a bandit camp.

Humans were walking back and forth while others were drinking, Talila whispered. ʼʼWhat are we going to do? Thereʼs too many for just us.ʼʼ

He turned to her while grinning as he cast Stone Wardens and summoned dozens of them, Archer ordered them to charge into the camp.

The Stone Men burst forth from behind the two and started charging at the bandits with an overwhelming force. The bandits, taken by surprise, scrambled to respond.

Some drew their weapons, others shouted in alarm, but their preparations were in vain against the onslaught of the Stone Men.

The clash was fierce and swift, the sound of metal meeting stone echoing through the forest.

A Stone Man swung his massive stone hammer, sending shockwaves through the ground as it struck a group of bandits.

The impact alone was enough to send some of them flying, their bodies crashing into trees and underbrush.

One by one, the bandits fell before the combined might of the couple and the Stone Men.

Talila kept firing her arrows taking out bandits who tried to sneak up on Archer as he slashed at a group.

The forest became a battleground, the clash of weapons and the resounding thuds of blows forming a chaotic symphony.

As the battle reached its climax, the bandit leader, his bravado shattered by the relentless assault, attempted to flee.

But the Stone Men acted swiftly. They stepped in to stop the escaping bandit leader. With a mighty swing of their stone arms struck down the bandit leader, bringing a swift end to the battle.

As the bandits were defeated and the forest grew calm, Archer dismissed them and summoned the smaller ones.

He ordered them to loot all the hearts of the slain while he and Talila waited. She approached him as she put her bow away.

The two of them sat down when Archer used Mana Manipulation to create a chair, he sat down and looked up to see the stars shining above.

Talila joined him and spoke. ʼʼThat fight was fun, I really enjoyed myself.ʼʼ

He nodded as he grabbed her dainty but strong hand causing her to smile. But she commented. ʼʼDo you really want me? You already have my aunts and they are far more beautiful than me and my muscular warriorʼs body.ʼʼ

When Archer heard this he shook his head and examined the girl even close as he made her stand up in front of him.

He thought to himself. ʼSheʼs really beautiful. Like a mix between a moon and sun elf.ʼ

Talila was confused but listened to him. He looked at her in the adventurerʼs leather armor, her silver hair in a ponytail.

Her red eyes glowed and her smooth brown skin was perfection, her body was muscular but meaty in the right places.

Archer noticed she had thick thighs but a slim waist and a large pair of boobs. When he was looking at her she felt his eyes on her.

She got nervous but didnʼt stop him as she thought to herself. ʼHe is a perverted dragon but I like it.ʼ

Once Archer was done looking at the girl he pulled her onto his lap which shocked her but she quickly became stubborn. ʼʼLet me go you pervert.ʼʼ

But all he did was hold her tight and start talking. ʼʼWhen I first met you all those years ago I was attracted to you but I was only thirteen then.ʼʼ

He gazed into her red eyes and went on. ”But when we saw each other again, I felt an instant attraction and knew I wanted you. Itʼs up to you my mixed elf.ʼʼ

Talila turned away but he saw her ears turn red, but she nodded her head and spoke in a small voice. ʼʼI want it to, but I donʼt want to rush things.ʼʼ

Archer nodded and gently held her chin, turning her face towards him. Then, he kissed her.

At first, she tensed up, but soon she eased into their first kiss, and they shared a moment of affection amidst a clearing scattered with defeated bandits and scurrying loot goblins.

They let go of each other, and Talila huffed, turning her head to the side. But she kept holding onto him, which made Archer chuckle.

Later, the small Stone Men came back, handing him the hearts and some chests. He stored them quickly in his Item box.

Archer lifted her once more, making her yelp, and they flew off to continue their hunting date.

The two of them flew in the directions that would likely house bandits and outlaws. He wanted their gold and to have fun with Talila.
