But the new mages like Lunelle, Walter, Ramona, and Belinda urged Anna and Frederick to go to the hall where the wizard gathering would be held since they needed to shop for spells they could use.
Each one of them thought that they were already on the verge of rising in their wizardry rank and they wanted to prepare the spells they wanted to have.
“I’m so glad that I saved all my coins!” Ramona said and Belinda agreed with her sister. The spatial items that were using were gifted to them by Anton’s father since Anton told Anders that it would be very helpful if everyone had their own storage item and that they were filled with necessities.
That meant that Anton was alone in the suite since all of his summoned animals were with his family and friends, even the Oak Sage spirit.
One advantage of letting the others bring his summons with them was he could always determine through his system if one of his summonses died.
Anton only stopped briefly to eat lunch when lunchtime arrived but because of that, he created his prototype for the magical defensive tablet that contained the Frozen Armor, Cyclone Armor, and Bone Armor spells.
He thought that it would take him several more days before he would have a working prototype but ever since he successfully created the mana structure spells for the Frozen Armor, because of the similarities the other armor spell had with the Frozen Armor spell, the mana structure for the two remaining armor spells were easier to modify. Not only that, but the moment he made the Cyclone Armor spell work with the Frozen Armor spell, adding the Bone Armor was easier still.
The item would still need a lot of polishing like modifying the structure so that the mana that was going to be consumed would be more efficient and he thought that he still needed to increase the mana storage capacity. That would take him several more hours so that meant that he could probably present a working item to his family and friends by tomorrow evening.
Anton noticed that his family and friends did not return to the suite when he exited his room at around four in the afternoon but the fact that all of his summonses were alive and well meant that they probably did not encounter any danger or difficulties. Even if they did encounter something, any one of them could send their little raven to him.
So after eating a snack, Anton returned to competing for the defensive item. He had to stop at around seven in the evening since Colin arrived with a message from his father to meet them at the dining hall and that everyone was there already so he followed Colin to the hall.
Anton joined his family at their table and asked what they did for that day.
“Business as usual for the cinema but there is now great excitement for the event that’s being prepared by Antonia and Lucia,” Nemina said.
“People are so in love with the Lord of the Rings franchise that a lot of the passengers, regardless of their status, are obsessed with them,” Selena said.
“Even some of the non-humans like the elves and the dwarves on board the ship, who admitted that dwarves and elves in the movies were so different that the movie non-human species were almost alien to them as well, began dressing like their movie counterparts,” Antonia said while laughing.
“It so funny to see the elves on the ship trying to behave as gracefully as the elves from the movies and some even used magic to imitate the light that surrounded the movie elves sometimes,” Norma added while laughing as well.
“The funniest are the dwarves! They tried to behave boisterously like the movie dwarves and some began growing their birds since all the dwarves in the movies had beards!” Phillip said while shaking his head.
“Weirdly enough, the halflings are not imitating the hobbits. Even though the hobbit’s philosophies of living peacefully and contently in the Shire was admirable, most of the halfings I met said that they wouldn’t be able to live that way,” Walter said.
“They also found it weird that halflings in the movies had weird feet and that they all had curly hair,” Belue said.
Anton remembered that the halflings in this world resembled the halflings from the Dungeon and Dragons franchise. Actually, Anton found it interesting that most of the creatures, species, monsters, and even some of the magic systems that he had seen resembled those of the DnD franchise. He had to admit that his knowledge of this world was very shallow. He didn’t even know the name of this world.
In his defense, Anton only existed in this world for less than a year and most of that time he and his family were on the run. He wondered briefly why he never asked the name of this world so he did.
“Why do you ask?” Frederick asked Anton curiously.
“It’s just funny to me that I know the name of the realm where the movies came from which is called “Earth”, but I didn’t know the name of our planet.”
“Our dimension is called Chauntea which is named after the great mother,” Fredrick answered.
Anton almost cursed out loud. Since he had access to the internet, he knew about Chauntea since she’s one of the divines in the DnD franchise. Because of that, he now truly wondered if this world had any connections to the creator of the Dungeon and Dragons franchise.
He knew almost nothing about the franchise and Anton wondered if he should start learning more about them but then again, he knew nothing about this world as well. Anton then just shrugged and thought that he would just accept whatever came his way since if he thought about the possibilities of conspiracies, it would only exhaust him.
He had a theory that maybe the creators of the franchise dreamt of this world and other similar worlds so they created their stories based on the worlds they dreamt about but of course, it was just a theory.
Soon, their food was served, and the show for that night, which was the performance of one of the bards from the Patron Bar started. The singing voice of the bard was beautiful and Anton found it pleasing to the ear so he enjoyed their dinner tremendously.
After dinner, they all went to the suite and when they arrived there, Anna asked Anton if they could watch the second movie of the Spiderman franchise starring Tobey Maguire since he did mention that it consisted of three movies.
“Why do movies always contain three parts?” Anna asked and Anton just shrugged.
Lunelle then argued that some movies were stand-alone but then Anna mentioned that most of the notable ones were trilogies. Anton then told them that it almost always comes down to how much the movies earned. He told them that based on what he had observed, if the movies earned a lot, it was almost guaranteed that a second film would be created and if that second film earned a lot, then a third one would be made.
Anton then continued that some of the films that did earn a lot of wealth for the moviemakers didn’t allow for part two like the movie Titanic, for example.
