The Arcane Archer - Chapter 25 Relax

After a lengthy hour of being questioned and doing by best at hiding my secrets that I didn’t want to be revealed, I finally got to what was happening right now. After finishing, there was a couple of moments of silence before the queen finally spoke up.

“So, you’re saying that Aetius’s followers are trying to kill you”

“Yes.”

“Because you helped another race besides human?”

“Yes.”

There was a second of silence before she started laughing as if it was the best joke that she has ever heard. After the couple of seconds of this crazed laughter, she suddenly hit the table with her fist and spoke to me.

“Leo! Because you helped the Elves instead of being like the average human, us Dwarves will help you out!”

The other dwarves talked amongst themselves about what she just said. After a bit, the queen asked for a guard and once she got one, she gave them a couple of commands before she used her hand to indicate the guard was supposed to leave. They bowed and then made their way over to me.

“Sir Walter,” The guard who I know now was female said. “I was told to take you to a room large enough for a human.”

She then undid my weird stone handcuffs and put them in a little bag around her waist. Without even saying anything, she started walking in the direction of the exit.

I turned to say thank you to the Queen but by the time I did, the queen and the others were already deep in conversation about something else. Turning back to the guard, I did a quick jog to catch back up with her.

There was no conversation between the two of us as we continued walking in what I felt like was a endless hallway. My map from the system luckily was able to keep track of all of it so if I ever needed to come back here, I would be able to do it with only a bit of difficulty.

After around 13ish minutes, we finally got to a metal door that seemed exactly like the prison doors from earlier. The guard turned around to me for a second and said, “Please wait out here for a minute or so Sir Walter. I was told to return everything we took from you.” And then going through the door.

Just like she promised, after 3 minutes she returned with all of my gear that I had with me physically. I put everything on quickly so that everything would be easier to carry around.

Once again, we spent a few more minutes walking around until we once again got to a door. This time however, the door was a simple wooden one which made me question how they got the wood when the entire area around the mountains had almost no trees at all.

She stopped walking and indicated the door to me. I didn’t question anything, so I opened the door and walked inside without question. Thankfully, this wasn’t a loony toons cartoon, so there was no random pitfalls or anvils falling down.

Inside the room was a simple bed with a small end table nearby. In the center of the room was a little pit with a few pieces of dried wood that once again made me question where they get all of this wood. Above the small fire pit was a tube that split off into many different other smaller tubes.

I moved my eyes back and forth between the two before coming up with an idea. Quickly leaving my room to see if there was a guard or anything, I quickly found out that the original female guard was still there just guarding my room.

“Hey Ms. Guard Lady, can I ask you for a favor?” I asked after getting her attention. “Can you get me a large metal basin or something? Just something that can hold large amounts of water and what not.”

By now, you probably know what I was going to do. It’s the most common things about Isekai novels and such but hey, who could blame them?

She bowed shortly after and said that she would see what she could do but it might take a while. I just thanked her and went back into my room. Pulling out a few of my books, I started reading them while occasionally attempting to read the contradiction that was the one book every now and then.

Doing so got me a few points in intelligence and wisdom which I was always glad to get. After around a half hour I finally got a knock on my door after saying that it was open, a large metal basin was brought into my room.

I shook her hands in thanks before pushing her out of the room and telling her not to allow anyone to enter or attempt to talk to me for like the next two hours or so. The entire time she was very confused at everything I was doing, including the handshake.

Quickly using some enchanting magic, I made the basin levitate slightly over the pit. Normally this wouldn’t be possible if I were to use enchanting magic as it would require source of lots of mana which the surrounding air wouldn’t be able to provide by itself.

However, with me adding into the enchantment that it would take my mana too, it would just barely be possible. It would slowly take all of my mana and put me at zero if I fed it mana for a constant hour or so.

Filling it with a bunch of water that I got by embarrassingly asking the guard for it after telling her not to allow herself or anyone else to disturb me, I started the fire in the pit and started heating up the large amounts of water.

Once the heat got to a decent amount, I made the fire smaller before putting everything on me into my inventory and awkwardly jumped into the floating basin. Water went everywhere but I decided to clean it up later. For now, I was going to enjoy a nice hot bath.

Cause even though I know that there are overused in Isekai stories like I said earlier, who can really argue with the fact that they’re fucking amazing? With one arm on the side of the metal basin and the other one in front of me with a book, I enjoyed this calmness with no worries.

I might have stuff to do later but for now its time for me to relax and organize my thoughts in peace.

(Authors note: Reminder to everyone to find something calming and relax for an hour or two. I’ve been incredibly busy the last few days and had almost no time to write but just earlier I was able to relax with no worries which helped me finally get this chapter out (Though it may be a bit short).
