🕑 Added 2024-08-04 02:00:02 +0000 UTCWhen dinner was over, they all transferred to the suite that Anders rented so they could talk about the projects that they did that day.
“We managed to check out the different items for sale in the surrounding shops and their price ranges so I can already begin creating an item and price list,” Nemina said.
“We also managed to connect to several large merchants who were interested in purchasing weapons and armor from us. We also began setting up purchase points so that we can entertain people who want to sell their worn-out and broken weapons and armor,” Anders told everyone.
“We also scouted a lot of nearby shops to check the prices of items like jewelry, clothes, and other personal accessories. We also talked to someone who could assist us in creating a purchase point for broken regular items,” Lunelle said while looking at her notebook.
“That meant that starting tomorrow, we will begin purchasing those broken items so prepare yourself, Anton. You would be busy repairing them,” Anders said to his son and Anton just nodded.
“The people we hired to fix the mansion are working very fast so we should be able to transfer our operation from here to the manor the day after tomorrow. Also, I assisted Ms. Nemina in looking for additional people that we can hire to help us in making sure that the manor is working at its peak like cooks, maids, and gardeners,” Frederick said.
“I’m also reviewing if we need to hire more guards for the manor but we will only know for sure once we transfer there,” Lucas added.
Anton was impressed at how focused and dedicated everyone was but what he didn’t know was this business of theirs ignited everyone’s ambition, not only his Father’s. Everyone knew that because of Anton’s power, they had the chance to grow in this city without experiencing too much harassment and they could have not only wealth but political power as well.
“I have a project of my own. I’m currently creating different types of enchanted items but my focus is on the convenience of the people in their daily lives. My goal was to be able to create a magical shop where a lot of magical items could be sold. I will need to check the magic shops in the nearby location to see what kinds of enchanted items are for sale so I don’t make duplicates. Also, I aim to make sure that the enchanted items that I’m going to create would consume very little cost to us and would not take long for me to create.”
Anton paused so everyone could think about what he had said then he continued.
“Right now our enchanted items that we can sell are the wooden board of air conditioner, the Lantern of Fire Bolt, and the new ones that I just made which were the wooden board of water heater and the enchanted cup of cold water,” Anton then distributed the wooden board of water heater and the cups of cold water to everyone and told everyone how they functioned.
“The wooden board of water heater had three settings which were mildly hot, hot, and superhot and it would not exceed that so that means that it will be very safe to use to heat your bathwater. The cup of cold water will produce well, a cup of cold water when you switch it on and the mana in the mana storage will last for a long time as long you don’t use the cup to fill up something large like a barrel.”
Everyone examined the two brand-new enchanted items that Anton distributed to everyone then he continued talking.
“Father, Nemina, I will need you to form a think tank team for my magic shop and enchanted items. That team should be learned people who will manage our magic shop and would be able to find good names for our enchanted items since I feel like the names I assigned to my items are bad. Not only that, the teams should be able to create a report of what magic items are for sale in the city and also provide ideas on the best magic items that I can invent so we have different varieties of enchanted items. As you may have noticed I didn’t include any enchanted wands or swords to my list of enchanted items for sale. It’s because I would not sell any type of magical items that can be used as weapons. I want to focus on items that can be used by people to make their daily lives more convenient.”
“That’s an admirable goal Anton and I’m proud of you,” Anders said to his son while smiling.
“Selling magic wands and enchanted weapons would make you a ton of coins though,” Lucas said but Anton just shrugged indicating that he didn’t care.
“The think tank team you’re requesting would probably take a while to form,” Nemina said while noting Anton’s request in her notebook.
“You can probably find them in universities and it’s okay if they’re regular people since the enchantments that I’m doing are too different from what the others are doing, I assume, since I really don’t know how others create enchanted items, and can’t be taught. Also, I’m not in a hurry so it’s okay even if it takes a while for you to form the team. I forgot to mention that the think tank team should also incorporate the designers and creators of the items that I will enchant since we can’t really sell rough wooden boards and wooden cups for our enchanted items,” Anton said which made everyone laugh.
“I can just imagine your quaint little magic shop selling magic items that make everyone happy! I want to work on that shop,” Anna said with sparkling eyes, and even Ramona and Belinda, her twin maid looked highly interested.
“My goal was to have that kind of shop. It should have two floors where I can work on the second floor and then sell the items I made on the first floor,” Anton said while imagining the shop.
“I’ll make sure you’ll have that,” Anders promised his son and Anton just smiled.
Zenoxus the elder vampire was looking at Anton with horror on his face though and when he noticed he asked the vampire what his problem was.
“Sir Archmage, you’re very powerful. You should be thinking about how to conquer a territory so you can rule and then build a castle where you and your family can stay,” Zenoxus said grandly.
“That may be your dream Zenoxus, but not mine. I would be happy to stay in a small quaint shop surrounded by my family and friends than live a life in a castle brought by destruction and tyranny,” Anton firmly said.
Anders laughed loudly and looked like he was so filled with pride that he might burst. Anna stood up and hugged her brother and Anton fended her off using his hands while everyone laughed.
“You don’t need to worry about Sir Anton’s ambition right now Zenoxus. Please remember that he’s only seventeen years old and his goals could change once he’s older,” Frederick said to the vampire and that reminder seemed to calm the vampire.
Anton just snorted when he heard what Frederick had said. After that, they continued talking about the things that they would do during the next few days, and based on everyone’s immediate goals, everyone would be really busy. Anton prepared himself since he knew that he would be busy too but he was still thinking of creating various enchanted items to add to his collection so once his magic shop was established, there would be a lot of variety which would make sure that his shop would be lively.
