🕑 Added 2024-12-01 02:00:04 +0000 UTCAnton was surprised to find many diverse magic items for sale in the hall where the mages gathered. He purchased shirts, pants, socks, and underwear with self-cleaning and size-adjustment magic. He also purchased a scarf that changes color as well as provides some sort of cooling and warming effects depending on which magic rune the wearer activated and it could be activated by a command spell by the wearer and that command spell was embroidered on the scarf’s specific corners.
Of course, Anton purchased several of each item if available since he was planning to give a set to his father. He didn’t buy anything for Anna and the others because they could purchase what they liked on their own and he knew the futility of purchasing things, especially clothes, for women. Besides, Anna was also in the hall and he even asked her for some advice regarding if he should purchase items for the others. His sister just told him that if he really wanted to gift the others, he could just give them coins and they could select the items themselves since part of the fun was selecting the items themselves.
It was different with Anton’s father since he knew that Anders was busy with the cinema and would not have the time to roam around to shop for things and he wanted to gift things to his father himself.
Regarding Anna, he just gave her another three hundred gold coins to her for her to buy things that she wanted to get. Anton’s four thousand gold coins dwindled to two thousand five hundred but in his opinion, the things that he purchased were worth it. The dopamine that shopping spree he did made him a bit happy and he would have wanted to continue but he already examined each of the stalls that the wizards opened in the hall.
Since it was evening already, Anton decided to return to their suite. Anna and her group of friends followed him although soon, the other girls separated from his sister. When they arrived in their suite, everyone was there including Antonia, Lucia, Walter, and Phillip.
Anton knew that the four young men and women were sticking to his family because they were presenting something new which was the movies and shows and these rich young folks seemed like they always pursued what gave them huge entertainment. At least, the movies were not harmful to their bodies like drugs, smoke, or alcohol.
“Anton, Anna, you’re here. Come, let’s go join the others in the dinner hall since I don’t want to wait for chefs to cook food for us, we’ll attend the dinner hall tonight,” Anders said.
Anna immediately ran to her room to change her clothes but Anton didn’t move since he was fine with what he was wearing, which was presentable enough.
They didn’t wait for Anna for too long though since after a few minutes, she joined them and they all headed to the dinner hall. The show presented by the entertainers was good and they enjoyed themselves. After dinner, they returned to their suite immediately even though a lot of people tried to stop Anders and Nemina to converse with them regarding the cinema. Some of the people would like to know if they could invest to become part owners especially when the cinema opened in one of the cities in the Gale Continent and some was just wanting to know what movies would be shown next.
Anders and Nemina had to reiterate that they could speak to them regarding business during the days when the cinema was closed and soon the people finally accepted that they would not talk business during that time and stop bothering them.
When they arrived at the suite, Anna asked which shows they would watch that night and Anton asked everyone which ones they would prefer to watch. They finally selected Star Trek and Avatar The Last Airbender.
While Colin was setting up the mini cinema corner in their suite, Anton told his father about selling some of the enchanted items that he had made during the mage gathering and the things that he purchased.
Anton explained each of the magic items that he would give to his father that he purchased and Anders looked like he was highly amused but everyone could see that Anton’s father was touched since it was obvious that Anton prioritized him.
“What about your sister?” Anders asked his son during one of the pauses that he made while explaining the function of the magic items.
“I gave her gold coins so she can purchase whatever she likes,” Anton answered.
“What about the others?” Andres asked.
“I’ll just give each one a hundred gold coins to spend,”
That sentence made everyone smile.
Anders happily examined and tried out all of the items that Anton gave his father and while that was happening, he gave each of the people in the suite a hundred gold except for Anna and Frederick since Anna already received gold coins from him and Frederick was rich. Even the two newly hired female bodyguards were surprised when they received gold coins from Anton.
After that, Nemina asked Anton to clean up their clothes and he told everyone to gather all of their belongings that needed cleaning and they all scrambled to get them. His rich friends from New Drennor were highly surprised that Anton, who was considered the young heir of their family and an archmage at that would deign to be the family’s launderer but it wasn’t a bother to him since he could clean their things with just a wave of his hands by using his Cleaning spell which was one of the few spells from the magic system of this world that he memorized.
After everything was clean, they all took back their things and then the watching of the show for that night started. When the shows ended, Phillip asked everyone if anyone wanted to join them in the Patron Bar.
Anna looked like she wanted to go but of course, since it was already late, Anders did not let her. As a matter of fact, all the girls wanted to go but because Nemina, Lucas, and Anders were looking at them with steely eyes, no one went the four rich nobles from New Drennor, and the only ones who did were Frederick, Colin, and Devon.
To the amusement of Anders, Anton didn’t join the ones who were going even though they persistently asked him. The main reason that he gave them was he needed to do “wizardly” things which was true since Anton wanted to start leveling up his paladin character because he had an inkling that he might need the holy powers of the paladin real soon. He didn’t have any prophetic or divination skills but he was a bit of a worrywart and it was better to have the skills and not need them that need them but not have them.
Anton entered his room since he knew that it would take a few minutes before everyone left or entered their rooms and he wanted to start leveling up as soon as possible. It was only around ten in the evening so he could spend at least two to three hours in his system before he went to bed.
He briefly took a bath then after that he sat on his bed and entered his Diablo II system. Since he was not that familiar with the paladin, he decided to follow the leveling guide on one of his favorite websites.
