Chapter 385
🕑 Added 2025-02-21 02:00:03 +0000 UTCAt first, Anton thought that the only thing that would be missing in the Lord of The Rings convention that Antonia and Lucia held was the photography session, but he kept underestimating the magic of this world because soon, he saw several mages doing exactly so using some sort of magic items.
Not only that, the wizards’ magic copied the image their item took to paper, and they even had artists that would frame the images on the site, basically creating instant paintings. The price was ridiculously high, so Torun, Blake, Andrea, and Soren could only look. Anton and Anna also didn’t involve themselves with image takers because Anton had his own magic capable of taking videos of the event, which was already being done by his Globe of Browser Sharing spell that was floating above him.
Anton was so glad that the option to record was given to him by his system already before the event happened since he really wanted a copy of this event since this would become a precious memory that they could look upon to remember someday.
“Are you not going do that?” Torun asked Anton while pointing at the wizard who was taking the image of his customers and then using a spell to copy that image to a piece of paper.
He knew that his friends were hoping they would do it so they could get a copy of the pictures. It was cheaper for the images to be copied, so if Anton took a picture of the group, they would just copy it.
Anton obliged Torun, so they lined up to get a picture of them as a group in one of the backdrop settings at the venue. The setting was the bridge where the romantic scene between Aragorn and Arwen happened when they were in Rivendell.
The smile on their faces was so big that the mage taking their picture using some sort of magic item reprimanded them, which made them laugh more. The wizard just sighed and took their picture anyway. The picture that resulted was so funny, but Anton and everyone else, for that matter, loved it.
Once it was framed, Anton asked the wizard to get copies for everyone, and then he stored the original in his inventory. He also noted to himself to ask Frederick about the spell that would let him put an image to a paper since once they were back on the ocean; he would put some of the images that his Globe of Browser Sharing took to papers, frame them and display them in his room. At least, there would be some personal touch in his room.
“Where are your other family members,” Anton asked Torun and Blake when he remembered.
“They lined up with the other customers. I left them my raven so if they encountered any problem, the bird would have come and informed me, but the Spirit Wolves were probably enough for our families to enter the venue even without tickets,” Andrea said.
Anton did request Antonia to allow his friends and their family to enter without tickets, and the rich noble said that she would handle it.
Anton was glad to notice that the venue was well-guarded by several groups consisting of mages and normal folks, but the best thing was they were all in costumes as well, so they looked like customers as well. The only reason that he knew they were guards was because he recognized some of them.
While they were roaming about, Anton and his group encountered his father and the others who were also roaming about. He had to admit that his father’s ladies were extremely beautiful, and yes, he included Norma and Belue with that. He didn’t know if they had become his father’s mistresses, but since they were always together with him, Anton thought that it would happen sooner or later. His father was a handsome man and looked extremely good because of his magic, and their family’s potential when it came to becoming rich was through the roof. Not only that, several mistresses were the norm in this world, especially for the rich.
“Father, where’s Nemina, Lucas, and Devon?” Aton asked.
“They're still in the cinema, making sure everything is okay there.”
After that conversation, they separated because they didn’t want any adults in their group, which only made Anders’s head shake. Anton, his sister, Torun, and the others were very loud, but then again, so was everyone else.
At around lunchtime, they stopped at a makeshift restaurant that looked like a hobbit’s birthday party and started eating. While they did so, Andrea asked if there were any other films in the franchise, and Anna was the one who excitedly told them about the Hobbit trilogy, which was the film about Bilbo Baggins. Since she was very loud, this information made their whole table freeze. Then, those who were seated near them excitedly asked several questions.
Anton could see that everyone at the table was truly a fan of the franchise, and Anna was very candid in sharing information about the Hobbit films. She didn’t care that she was sharing some spoiler information, and Anton didn’t care as well. After everyone learned that Anna was the daughter of the owner of the cinema, everyone believed her and kept asking when the Hobbit trilogy would be shown, and even Torun, Andrea, Blake, and Soren were excited.
Anna had to inform everyone that she didn’t know when their father would show the films, though, but that didn’t let the excitement of those who heard the information die down.
After that late lunch, they returned to roaming around the venue, examining the decorations and the merchandise that the ship’s merchants were selling. Anton saw that based on the merchants’ expressions, business was good, and everyone expected that it would be better tomorrow because the locals who had seen the movies would join the ship’s passengers at the venue.
Anton enjoyed the event so much and almost hoped that it didn’t end. He was glad that there were two days more and was happy that he suggested this event to Antonia and Lucia.
They encountered Torun, Blake, and Soren’s families, who were also roaming about, and the children’s faces were full of smiles. They noticed that his friends’ families were surrounding the Dire Bear, who were lying on the floor. Anton left it there as some sort of a deterrent for troublemakers, but unfortunately, most people who saw it thought that the bear was part of the attraction. Some tried to feed it, but of course, the Dire Bear just ignored them.
Anton heard some of the children exclaiming to Torun, Blake, Andrea, and Soren how large the bear was, and they had to explain that it was one of Anton’s summons, just like the wolves that were roaming about.
That made everyone who overheard that information gasped, saying that the summoner must be a very powerful wizard, and Torun, of course, confirmed that Anton was.
They continued visiting every part of the venue, and they even found a corner that contained a makeshift prison for troublemakers, which was just a good-natured deterrent. The offenders were released just after a few minutes once they promised they would behave.
Anton saw Antonia and Lucia together with some of the rich passengers also roaming around. He asked Antonia if there were any troubles, and both she and Lucia informed him that, surprisingly, there was very little trouble, and they were mild. They did say that the wizards and guards overseeing the place made sure that people would behave, though, so they expected that there would be little trouble.
