Chapter 371
🕑 Added 2025-02-07 02:00:05 +0000 UTCDuring dinner in the dining hall, Harun informed Anton that they would pass some sort of belt area in the ocean where a lot of delicious sea fishes would pass by. The Amelia would stop for a few hours so that sailors could catch fish for the passengers and crew.
“Are we allowed to catch our own?” Anton asked the sailor assigned to their family as their guide.
“Yes, but only after the crew is done,” Harun replied.
Anton wondered how he could catch fish using his skills.
“Do other mages participate in catching fish?” Anton suddenly asked Harun while thinking about how he could catch the fish himself and Harun shook his head.
“Mages will not bother with something like that since there are people that will catch the fish for them,” Lucia told Anton with a wry expression.
“I’m interested since it sounded fun and besides, I have tons of space in my spatial inventory and can store food there without it going bad. Maybe I can catch fish and sell them for gold!” Anton said while imagining flying above the ocean trying to use spells to catch something like a Bluefin Tuna.
“It would be better if you just craft enchanted items and sell those instead since that will earn your family tons of gold,” Phillip suggested while eating some of the delicacy that was served to them by waiters.
To be honest, Anton found their lifestyle inside the Amelia a bit decadent. It felt like they were not really traveling because they were on the run but instead, it felt like they went on a cruise vacation. He knew deep inside that it was all because of his Diablo II system. It allowed him and his family to have the means to run in style.
“I know all of that It’s just that I think I’ll find the process of trying to catch a fish using my spells interesting. Maybe I’ll find a treasure like when I played with the dolphins and the whales. Besides, it will probably take me just an hour or so and I don’t even have to bother the Amelia since I can fly over the ocean and even if they leave, I can catch up to it easily enough.”
Philip just shrugged and his family just shook their heads when they heard Anton’s plan but they let him be since he had always taken care of the family making sure that they were safe and comfortable, and if there were instances that the young mage wanted to play, they would certainly indulge him.
After dinner, they all returned to the suite but this time everyone seemed to be tired since there were no requests for movies or television shows, at least verbally, even though some of them wanted to do so.
Anders announced that it was now fine to close their bedroom doors just to be aware of the surroundings and to respond fast enough to any sort of danger. Everyone also needed to have a wolf inside their room so the summoned animals could always guard them.
“You just want to have a “sexy time” with Selena,” Anton joked.
Anders shouted at him since even though the term was unfamiliar to everyone, they knew what Anton meant through context, except for Anna and when she asked what his brother meant, everyone just laughed. She kept asking until Anders shouted at her too and that made her pout while mumbling she just wanted to know what “sexy time” meant.
Anton liked how his father was behaving. He loved how the man was indulging in love and life. He knew that his family, especially his father, didn’t have an easy life and now they had the means to enjoy their lives. At least at this moment, Anton believed that they should do so.
When he entered his room, Anton took a shower first then after that planned to spend a couple of hours before sleeping to level up his Paladin character. He knew that the others were also practicing their magic and was glad that even with all the distractions that were happening, the mages didn’t lose their goal and focus which was to increase their power as soon as possible.
After a couple of hours of playing, Anton was happy to see that his Paladin’s level increased to level ninety-two. He thought that it was time for him to hunt for the “Best in Slot” gears for the Paladin so he would do so the next day. Once he had the best items, which could take him several hours, even a few days, he would return to reaching the Paladin’s maximum level.
He then thought of which character he should level up next but truthfully, any of the remaining characters would be fine. Anton decided that the next character that he would level up next would be the Barbarian since that would allow him to become physically powerful.
The next day during breakfast, Harun informed Anton that they would reach the area where the fish would pass through in a couple of hours and he told the sailor to inform him once the crew was done fishing.
Anton thought that the best skill that he could use to catch the fish was the Tornado spell from the Druid’s Elemental skill tree and since he did put points on all of his skills, which he had been doing ever since his first character which was the Sorceress, he had access to the Tornado spell and he did spend some time practicing the said spell. Of course, he had to make sure that the Tornado spell that he would cast would be mild enough to gather the fish but not kill them since he wanted them to be fresh although he did have to make sure that they were all dead because if they’re alive, he wouldn’t be able to store them in his inventory.
After breakfast, Anton’s father and the others headed to the cinema to check their family business while Antonia and Lucia went to meet up with the people they hired to construct the decoration that would be put up when they reached the warehouse in the islands of Norbuna where the Cosplay Event would be held.
Anton didn’t know where Philip would go since the man didn’t seem interested in participating in the management of the Cosplay event. The rest would return to the suite to practice their magic just like Anton.
In the suite, Anton began his plan of hunting for gears so he spent several hours doing so but at around ten in the morning, Harun arrived to inform him that the crew was almost done with catching the fishes.
Anton immediately followed Anton and they reached the location where the crew was finishing up. He saw that they used some tiny boats and nets to catch the fish and was astonished at the amount that they managed to catch. It looked like there were tons and tons of different varieties of fish and Harun admitted that the crew used some magic items as well.
Harun also informed him that the ship was willing to sell some of the fish to him if he truly wanted to and that meant that there was no need for him to actually catch fish. That made Anton a bit sad since he really wanted to experience becoming a magic fisherman for an hour or two.
He decided that it wasn’t worth it anymore and told Harun exactly that and returned to the suite to continue hunting gears for his Paladin character.
