Chapter 456
🕑 Added 2025-05-03 02:00:05 +0000 UTCThe next day, Anton, Anna, and their father met at the inn’s restaurant for breakfast. While they were eating, the three of them were quiet. They reached their goal of arriving at the Gale Continent, as confirmed by Anders from the mouths of townsfolk, but it felt meaningless for the three of them.
Reaching the new continent was supposed to be a happy occasion for everyone in their family since it should have been the start of their new lives in a new land. They would start their vaunted cinema business, gathering wealth and enjoying their lives away from the Undead Coalition, which destroyed their original country. Anna would enroll herself in an academy together with Ramona and Belinda, and the three of them would grow in power while enjoying academy life.
Nemina would be their business manager, and her husband, Lucas, would manage the security of the family, while Devon would help his father and Lunelle would help her mother while still practicing wizardry.
Frederick would be considered the main wizard of the family and would continue to grow in power since the mage planned to stick with Anton so he could smooch off his aura powers.
Anton himself would focus on his Diablo II system and wouldn’t join any magic school yet. While he was increasing his power through his system, he would meet with Torun, Blake, Andrea, and Soren once in a while to paint the town red.
Antonia, Lucia, Walter, and Philip would meet with the family once in a while as well and would conduct Cosplay parties based on the movies that would be shown in the family’s cinema business.
Anders would officially marry Selena, Norma, and Belue and would gather the ladies' remaining family members into the fold.
Then they would live happily ever after. That was the plan. But now it was all meaningless.
“We’re in a town called Norfolk. A few days' travel to the east will let us arrive in the Kingdom of Ormunda, which was one of the kingdoms in the center of the Gale Continent. The reason I mentioned that kingdom is because, according to the information that I bought from one of the branches of the adventurer guild’s information broker, it was one of the most powerful magic kingdoms in the Gale Continent. It’s headed by a council of Invincible Wizards numbering more than thirty. The exact number of Invincible Wizards was unknown to the Adventurer Guild. The rest of that kingdom's government offices were being handled by Supreme Wizards, and they numbered thousands. Ormunda also hosts a large number of magic dungeons, which is why there are a large number of adventurers there.”
Anders paused a bit to let his children absorb the information. To be honest, when their father told him Osmunda’s information, specifically, its magical might, Anton was shocked.
“So what are your plans?” Anders asked his children after a few minutes of silence.
“I will enroll in one of the magic academies there to increase my power,” Anna said with a resolute expression on her face.
“I will join an Adventurer’s team and explore the dungeons of this land. I think that’s the best way for me to increase my power,” Anton said.
“I will go to New Drennor. I promised Selena, Norma, and Belue that I’ll take care of their family,” Anders told his children.
“Father, go and fulfill your promise to Selena and the others. Anna and I will be fine traveling to Ormunda alone. Once we reached that Kingdom, Anna would spend the majority of her time in an academy, and my time inside the dungeons. Are you fine coin-wise?” Anton asked their father.
“Considering the amount of coins I have and all the enchanted items that you’ve created, and the three chests full of treasure that the whales and dolphins gave you, we’re covered.”
“Give some coins and one of the treasure chests to Anna, since she might need it to cover her expenses for her studies. The rest you can keep and use. I don’t need any coins since I’m an enchanter and can always create items that I can sell. Don’t hesitate to sell the mithril armor if you need to,” Anton told his father.
The three didn’t waste any time. After breakfast, they went to their father’s room, and Anders gave the coins and the treasure to Anna. After that, the three of them hugged, and their father told them that once he gathered Selena, Norma, and Belue’s family, they would travel to Ormunda since the three of them felt that its location and its magical might would make them safe from the undead but of course, they had learned their lessons and would always be vigilant regardless of the situation.
Anton and Anna assured their father that they would remain in the city with Anna as a mage student in one of the kingdom’s academies and Anton as one of the adventurers there who tackle the many dungeons located in Ormunda. Once Anders arrived in the Kingdom of Ormunda from New Drennor, he would send his ravens to inform his children of his return.
Surprisingly, Anton, Anna, and their father’s planning only lasted for around three hours and after that, they left the inn. Anders bought a horse and after looking at his powerful children for a few minutes, left for New Drennor.
Anton and Anna decided to purchase a carriage, but Anton planned to control it using his Telekinesis spell instead of an animal. They wouldn’t hide their magical capabilities since they were going into a magical kingdom full of powerful wizards anyway.
Once their father was out of sight, Anna suddenly started sobbing. Anton watched her sister without saying anything. After a few minutes, Anna stopped and looked in the direction of where the Kingdom of Ormunda was supposed to be located with a resolute expression.
They went to a shop where they could purchase a carriage and find a serviceable one. It was large enough that they could use it to rest during the night. Once they paid for the carriage, the carriage seller asked the two if they wanted a referral to the stable where they could purchase good horses that could pull the carriage. The carriage seller told them that by referring them, they could receive a good discount.
Anton declined, and without further ado, Anna entered the carriage. Anton climbed into the driver’s seat and started controlling the carriage with his Telekinesis. When people saw the carriage suddenly start flying, a lot of them had extreme reactions, which baffled Anton. Given how close the supposed magic kingdom was, people here should have been familiar with magic workings.
Anton ignored the reaction of the people and continued controlling the now-flying carriage. With how fast the carriage movements were, they would probably reach the Kingdom of Ormunda faster than the supposed week it would take a horse traveler to reach it.
Based on the map that they purchased, the Ormunda was to the east, so Anton was still relying on his compass to travel there, but he did stick near the road. He also cast the Assassin skill Cloak of Shadow on their carriage to avoid commotion on the road, so now they just looked like a patch of shadows flying just above the tree line in the forest beside the road.
Since Anton and Anna were used to their current situation, Anna returned to practicing her magic, and Anton split his attention between controlling the carriage and leveling up his Assassin character.
