Chapter 208
🕑 Added 2024-08-28 02:00:03 +0000 UTCThe Return of The King was an epic conclusion to an epic movie franchise and almost all of the audience members were crying especially towards the end when they learned that Frodo would go with the elves to the Undying Lands due to the sword wound that he received. Anna and her maids were especially voluble in their crying during the last scene when Samwise Gamgee was together with his family.
There were several scenes that caused everyone to cry like a baby during the film and Anton could understand since he was almost the same when the movie came out.
After the movie, there was this bittersweet feeling in the air. Most of the old people in the audience had experienced the vicissitude of life and they recognized the feeling and reminisced their past experiences.
There was this desire for loyal companions that would stick with you through thick and thin like what Samwise Gamgee did with Frodo. There was the desire to have an epic adventure that would shake the foundation of the earth and then there was also this desire to be acknowledged by the powerful because of your contribution even though you are a tiny being just like when the whole of the White City bowed down to the four hobbits including Aragorn, the newly crowned king.
Most of all, there was this desire to join Frodo in the Undying Lands where the elves would go since this could mean a start of a new adventure.
This time, it was Anton who went to the front of the audience.
“This concludes the epic trilogy of the Lord of The Rings movies. Our family hoped you enjoy them since they were my favorite movies as well. Now before we leave to eat dinner, I have a surprise video clip for you all. This one is called The Hobbit: Clash of Immortals.”
Anton then played the five-minute video clip. The battle between Galadriel and the newly appeared Sauron excited everyone, especially the mages in the crowd since they didn’t recognize the magic that was being used in the video.
After the video clip ended, everyone clamored to know which movie was the scene from so Anton went to the front again.
“There’s another three movies which is a prequel to the Lord of the Rings. The franchise is called The Hobbit which was the story about Bilbo Baggins. The first movie is called The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the second one is called The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, and the last one is called The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies. We currently don’t have any plans to show them yet and was planning to show them once my father plan to open a movie theater is realized.”
Since Anders and Nemina were hyping the movie theater, he added wood to the bonfire. There was excitement in everyone’s faces in the audience and Anton was satisfied in hyping out their family business plans.
Everyone then followed Anton’s father to where the buffet table was located so they could eat dinner. During the meal, the discussion amongst the people about the movies and the video clip at the end was intense. After the meal, the guests said their goodbyes, and Anders announced that there would be a meeting at the dining table. He also invited the two old tutors and Anton could see that their teachers were flattered at being considered part of their family.
“The noble who was reticent in selling his shop to us, the three-story building located in the center of the city finally said that they would sell it to us and that the papers will be handled tomorrow. The short movie that you presented at the end of the movie was a brilliant move Anton since that made all of them realize that we have the resources to open a movie theater and that would make us a tremendous amount of wealth.,” Anders announced.
“The Archmage Voduria mentioned that once we have a concrete plan for a movie theater, we need to talk to the government before we proceed,” Nemina added.
“Our family is also becoming very well known in some circles since the movies were truly groundbreaking. Everyone was fishing for a connection with us since they wanted to be invited to our next movie showing. More than likely, after tonight, that desire for connection would intensify as soon as the words spread,” Frederick said.
“Will we encounter any issues? Like pushbacks from the powerful or interest from Zalnothel’s underbelly?” Anton asked everyone but he was actually looking at the two old tutors.
“From some of the nobles you might encounter some issues since there were people stupid enough to try checking if they could get the “movies” from you. From the underground, be prepared since they will surely attempt something to get the movies like maybe kidnapping some of your people but if you make sure that all the important members of your family are protected, you don’t need to worry. I saw that most of your guards are wielding magic wands so that’s a good protection. You also have three vampires and nothing will get past them. Once Anna is inside one of the academies, she will be safe since no one would touch the students there or they would invoke the wrath of any of the principals of the schools and no one would like that since all of them are Supremes,” Mr. Tenor said.
“The best protection you can get which is already considerable due to the fact that Sir Anton is a baron and an archmage, is once you’re ready to open your theater, you will need to partner with a powerful organization and I would recommend an academy,” Ms. Damby added.
“Just the theater?” Nemina asked.
“Yes. The powers that be would not be interested in a shop that sells weapons and armor even enchanted items especially your enchanted items focused on daily life instead of combat,” Mr. Tenor said.
Everyone contemplated what the two old tutors had said but Anton knew that the best thing that he could do was to continue playing his Diablo II game system since that was the only one that would increase his power fast enough to make sure that his family would be safe. Once he reached the druid’s maximum level, Anton was sure that that would increase his wizardly rank, and the moment he chose a new character like the Necromancer, he would become more powerful.
“Also, the moment something happens, you will need to be decisive and show your power. It would save you troubles in the long run,” Mr. Tenor added.
“I understand Sir Tenor. I will make sure that if anything happens, they will learn that I have the power to defeat an army. I already did and that army had several liches and several vampires amongst them and I have grown more powerful since then and I’m still growing,” Anton firmly said and everyone could feel the power that Anton exuded.
Even though everyone knew that Anton was an archmage, they kept forgetting how powerful he was since he behaved generously to his family and his friends and still acted as a dutiful son to his father. They briefly remembered the time when Anton summoned a rain of flaming meteors from the heavens and targeted an undead army.
Anders looked very proud while Mr. Tenor and Lucas looked at Anton’s father enviously. Everyone at the table knew that the men were thinking that It must be grand to have a very powerful son who would remain generous and loyal to their family.
