Chapter 256
🕑 Added 2024-10-15 02:00:02 +0000 UTCAnton observed everything that he could see while a sailor was leading him, Devon, and Colin to the suite they hired and soon they arrived on the upper floors.
The upper floors of the ships were very luxurious in Anton’s eyes and could contend with the most luxurious cruise ships that could be found on Earth. The upper floors' hallways were interspersed with magic lights that looked the same as the enchanted Firebolt Lantern that Anton had made. He had an urge to remove one of them so he could inspect them but he knew that he wouldn’t find anything since the system of enchantment or alchemy was too different from his.
He didn’t actually need to find enchanted items that he could study since Anton had enough projects to last him a while. He hadn’t even started with the talisman that he planned to create.
His next enchanted item project was to create offensive accessories that his family and friends could wear and could activate anytime they were in danger like an Ice Bolt Brooch or something like that.
When the sailor led them to their suite, Anton was impressed anew. It was as large as the suites that they usually rented in large inns in the cities. The windows, which could be open were also huge and they could enjoy the ocean breeze and scenery and when Anton inspected the windows, he suspected that magic was involved in their creation since they were extremely sturdy.
The sailor then left after Anders gave him some coins even though Anton had already given a gold coin to the man when he explained what the horses' situation going to be. They all sat at the dining table placed in the center of the suite and Anton noticed that all the furniture was stuck in place, possibly to prevent every one of them from moving around during the times that ship's movement was violent like in the middle of a storm.
Basically, everyone was having a meeting regarding the situation of Homura being besieged by the undead but there was no new information. Anton knew that everyone was just trying to find comfort with each other.
Anders then tasked Anton to clean everything since even though the whole suite looked clean, they still wanted to make sure, especially the girls. After everything was cleaned, all the personal things that were stored in the spatial items of the group member were retrieved and placed in their rooms.
Anton would be sleeping in his own bedroom while Anders and Frederick share a room. Devon and Colin would be sharing one, and Anna and Lunelle would also share one. Ramona and Belinda would also share one room as well as Lucas and Nemina.
While Anton was cleaning all the rooms and the whole suite using his Cleaning spell, he saw that the rooms were exactly the same, even the decoration. The only difference was two of the rooms were placed against the wall that faced the ocean so those were the only ones that had windows but unfortunately, those windows couldn’t be opened. One of the rooms with the window was taken by Anders and Frederick and one was taken by Lucas and Nemina since Anton didn’t care which room he was placed in.
Everyone was busy filling out their rooms with personal things since they knew that they would be spending possibly more than a year on the ship.
Since the ship was still docked, they would have to provide their own food since the food service would only start once the ship started traveling.
It wasn’t a problem for them since just like Anton, everyone stored cooked food in their spatial item. What surprised Anton was every one of them had their own spatial item. Those without one purchased theirs with a huge amount of gold coins provided by Anders and Anton agreed that it was worth it.
It was he who provided the food first since Anton knew that he had the most food stored in his private stash.
It was a late lunch but while they were eating, they heard the voice of Captain Robertson. The captain was using some sort of speech magic to let his voice be heard by everyone on the ship.
“Good Afternoon everyone! It’s time for us to depart. I’m truly sorry that we must leave this place earlier than scheduled but we all know the reason why. I pray that the divines bless our journey to be peaceful but as everyone already knows, even if we encounter something dangerous in the ocean, we have three legendary mages, six supreme mages, fifteen archmages, and countless wizards on board that would protect us during our journey. Our dinner will be held at eight in the evening tonight.”
Anton saw that Anna and Frederick were excited when they heard that apart from very powerful wizards, there were countless mages on board as well.
“Maybe I can find mages that are the same age as myself!” Anna excitedly says and based on Frederick’s expression, his intention was the same.
“Please don’t share anything about the movies and television show with anyone yet since we need to rest and enjoy them by ourselves first,” Anders told everyone and Anton highly approved.
Suddenly each one of them felt that the ship began moving and as one, they all ran towards the window to see.
“Let’s go find an open place where we can see everything!” Anna suddenly said all of them agreed they exited their suite and caught one of the ship’s attendants to guide them to one of the decks in the ship.
Unfortunately for Colin, he was tasked to watch their belonging so he was left behind.
The sailor informed them that there were several decks and that their hallway was considered one of the hallways of the rich since the people staying in the suites were high-paying customers who had their own private deck.
They had to climb several steps and while they were climbing, the attendant admitted that they were considered fourth-tier high-paying customers due to the type of suite they rented. The sailor said that the best deck belonged to the first-tier customers who rented the ten-room suites.
Anna complained to Anders about why they didn’t rent the ten-room suite and their father just ignored her. When they reached the deck exclusive to their hallway, it was already filled with people and from what the sailor told them, they were the passengers occupying the suites in the same hallways as theirs.
Anton was again impressed by the ship's structures and features. The deck had comfortable wooden chairs where they could sit and the deck was open. They could see the sky and the ocean but the passengers did not need to worry about falling off the rails since they were guarded by thick bars that reached to their chest.
The girls ran to one of the sides that didn’t have any passengers and they all followed them. The people on the deck looked extremely rich based on the clothing and accessories that they wearing and not only that they all look haughty but one good thing about consuming and bathing in mana water, as one, their group looked very fair like lords and ladies who never had to work a day in their lives.
The girls were loud and kept on pointing at everything they saw but no one was complaining since instead of looking like uncultured country people, they looked like innocent and adorable ladies. Anton shook his head at the realization that beauty was a privilege in any world.
