He knew it wasn’t about the Assassin Group who plagued the Amelia since they could have sent a low-ranking wizard to inform him if it was about them.
The two Supreme Wizards looked around, and Anton wondered why. However, he immediately realized what the two wizards wanted when his father invited everyone in the family and Anton’s friends outside the suite. So they all exited the room together with the summoned wolves, the Clay Golem, and the Dire Bear to make sure that they were guarded. When everyone was gone, Anders returned and sat beside Anton.
The two Supreme Wizards blinked when they saw Anders’s actions and Anton could see them remembering his age.
“I still can’t believe you’re only seventeen years old. The fact that you’re an archmage and an extraordinarily powerful one at that at such a young age is truly rare,” Supreme Numinor said.
“Your rooms are filled with mana, and that’s actually why we’re here,” Adinor said after looking around Anton’s family suite.
“It had come to our attention that you managed to create an item that would allow a place to be filled with purified mana which will allow wizards to practice their magic much easier,” Numinor said.
Anton wondered how they got a hold of that information but he remembered that even though his family and friends were informed not to spread the information, it was not strictly enforced since they did plan to sell them soon, probably once they arrived in New Drennor.
“You’re correct sir. I stumbled upon that creation by accident. As you know I’m also an item enchanter and I created an item called mana power bank that will allow the users of my items to recharge the enchanted items that they’ve bought from our family using the mana power bank. When the mages in our family wanted to practice their magic, instead of casting their spells somewhere, I decided to create a huge mana power bank so the mana wouldn’t go to waste but since everyone was diligent in their practice, we needed to empty the mana power bank so I decided to install an outlet that will let the mana out from the power bank but it seemed like the mana that we released from the mana power bank was pure that it enriched the environment with mana that was beneficial to mages,” Anton said to the two Supreme Wizard.
“Can we buy a mana power bank from you then?” Adinor asked.
“I have no available one right now and it will take a while for me to create one, probably a month. Regarding the price, please talk to my father and his secretary,” Anton replied.
“Thank goodness that you’re easy to talk to, young archmage. I thought you would try to keep that invention to yourself. Most mages would have,” Numinor said while looking at Anton approvingly.
“As you may notice sirs, most of the items that I make tend to help people's lives easier. I usually avoid creating weapons since my idea was to use my magic to better the lives of people. I know that in these times, I wouldn’t be able to avoid creating weapons but I still try to create things that help people instead of destroying them.”
“That’s a good ideology to follow and as you’ve said, it will be exceedingly hard to stick to that conviction because of the enemy humanity faces but I applaud your philosophy and I applaud your parents who taught you to become a better mage, or rather a better human being, compared to others,” Adinor complimented Anton and Anders.
“We will leave then and allow you to continue your day,” Numinor said then both Supreme stood up and left.
Once they were gone, Anders asked a question to his son.
“Does it really take you a month to create that table?”
“No. It usually takes me just several hours,” Anton replied and his father understood his reasoning.
“Why did they want the others to go away?” Anton loudly wondered.
“They may have thought that it would take some time to persuade you to provide them that table that releases mana and they don’t want others to see them begging or rather persuading a lower-ranking wizard. You have probably caught them off guard by how easy it was for them to talk to you regarding the item.”
“I’ve never thought of making any of my items that I’ve made a secret since as I’ve said, most of them are focused on bettering the lives of people. I would only consider hiding an item if it’s something that would negatively impact a considerable amount of people.”
“How much are we going to sell that table mana power bank for?”
Anton shrugged and told his father to talk it out with Nemina and if they needed to, asked advice from Frederick and Antonia’s group.
After that talk, Anton’s father called everyone back to the suite which surprisingly took some time since Anders had to find them. Anton returned to his room and checked his inventory for the materials that he could use to create a second table so he could create another mana power bank that he could provide the Supreme Wizards. Unfortunately, there were none so he exited his Diablo II system and went out of his room.
Luckily, everyone was back so he asked Frederick to find him a table similar to the coffee table mana power bank.
“Are you going to create a second one? This one’s enough for us since we can release the mana anytime we want,” Frederick said.
“The Supreme Wizards got a hold of the information that we have an item that would allow a room to be enriched in tamed mana so I have to create a second one and sell it to them,” Anton told the mage.
“How did they find out?” Frederick asked.
“I don’t know but it’s not important since it’s not a huge secret anyway and we do plan to sell it to others once we reach New Drennor,” Anton said.
Frederick then told Anton that he would look for one then he reminded the mage that he should find something aesthetically pleasing since it was for the Supreme Wizards.
Anton returned to leveling up his Assassin for several more hours and only stopped briefly to eat some snacks. When nighttime arrived, he joined his family for dinner in the dining hall but he was happy enough at the level his Assassin achieved, which was level thirty-one and that meant that he had now access to all of the Assassin’s skills.
He planned to study them in detail the next day since Anton had this nagging feeling that the assassin group that was sent by the Undead Coalition would make their move when they reached the islands of Norbuna.
Anton briefly wondered what kind of movement those enemies would make but he knew that whatever it was, it was futile. The Amelia had several powerful mages and the assassin group wouldn’t be able to contend with them. Not to mention that there was supposed to be an Invincible Wizard aboard as well. He hadn’t seen that powerful being but everyone assured him that there was one and to be honest, that knowledge brought comfort not to him but to everyone.
It was nice to know that there was somebody on board who could protect them in case the worst happened. Anton was just praying, like everybody else on the ship, that the Invincible Wizard would never need to make a move.
