🕑 Added 2024-08-27 02:00:02 +0000 UTCThe most important people like the powerful archmages and High Wizards and the richest nobles and merchants occupied the first few rows and soon the chairs were filled. Anton kept hearing the guests' exclamation that the room felt so cool and comfortable and Nemina and Anders took that chance to inform them that once their shop was open, they would be selling enchanted items that would make their rooms cool and comfortable as well.
Anton sat near the door at the back and Colin sat beside him. He wasn’t planning to watch the first two films and would only watch the audience’s reactions to the third movie in the Lord of the Rings franchise which was Return of The King.
He was planning to enter his Diablo II game to level up his druid character and Colin would get his attention if somebody wanted to talk to him. The excuse they would give was Anton was meditating but needed to be in the theater so the spell that runs the movie would run smoothly.
When everyone was seated, Frederick turned off all the magic lanterns and kept a single one turned on which was the one near the door. Anton then began playing the first movie which was Fellowship of The Ring.
Before he started the movie though, Anders requested that everyone prepared themselves first since there wouldn’t be any interruption during the first film so those who had tiny bladders should relieve themselves. The majority of them followed the maids to the bathroom and after a few minutes, everyone returned.
When the movie started and everyone was focused on watching, Anton entered the World of Sanctuary and began leveling up his druid character. Right now, he was level twenty-five and about to enter the Durance of Hate to kill Mephisto. He was still doing his habit of exploring every nook and cranny of the map but he was able to kill Mephisto when the movie just ended.
Anton did level up his character one level so now his druid is level twenty-six. He put the newly earned skill points to Summon Spirit Wolf so now his skills were level fifteen Summon Spirit Wolf, level three Summon Dire Wolf, level seven Raven, and level one Oak Sage.
After the first movie ended, everyone who hadn’t seen the movie before had the expected stunned look on their faces including the archmages and High Wizards in the crowd and those who had seen the movie before looked at them with amused expressions on their faces and kept telling their friends that they had the same reaction.
Anders knew that the audience would soon begin conversing with each other about the film so he immediately invited everyone for lunch.
The mansion’s hall was temporarily converted into a buffet hall. There were several tables full of food that the kitchen prepared and there were people who were assigned as maids and waiters for a short time and waited on the guests to serve them with food and drinks.
Anton was an introvert and did not like gatherings that were full of people he didn’t know but he had to follow his father and mingle for the sake of their business. The archmages was tactful enough to allow Anton to follow his father to talk business while everyone was eating but most discussion centered around the movies.
Anders and Nemina prematurely announced that their family was planning to open a theater that would show different varieties of movies to customers and that the movies would be replaced twice a month. The announcement was met enthusiastically by everyone and almost all of them inquired if their family were looking for investors.
Anders and Nemina needed to keep reiterating that they were still in the process of planning the theater and everything was still subject to change. He was so glad that even though all of the people there knew that Anton was the power behind the family and holder of the noble title, they were focused on Anders and Nemina. More than likely, it was because everyone already knew that he was too young and his father was actually in charge of the family’s business. Anton was just the deterrent for any troubles that might come their way.
After an hour of lunch, everyone returned to the theater and before Anton started the second film, Anders reiterated that there would be no breaks in the middle of the showing and that everyone should make sure that they relieved themselves and Anton’s father gave everyone a few more minutes.
When everyone was ready, Anton started the second film which was The Twp Towers and when everyone was deep inside the movie, Anton entered his game again.
Anton started fighting the enemies in Act IV but he was still making sure that he kills every monster in sight. He knew that following famous gamers guide on how to level up fast would allow him to level up his character faster but the main purpose of taking his time was to acclimate his body in casting the spells and making sure that he was familiar with the mana structure of the spells. One advantage of his sorceress compared to his druid, having scattered his skill points to almost every sorceress spell was, that Anton became familiar with the mana structure of almost every spell in the sorceress skill tree compared to the druid character. With the druid, he was currently only familiar with very few spells but he planned to change that once he switched to the elemental build when he reached above level thirty.
During the showing of the Two Towers, Anton completed the areas outside the Pandemonium Fortress which were the Outer Steppes, Plains of Despair, and the City of the Damned, and completed the quest “The Fallen Angel” and killed Izual receiving the two skill points award. He was able to level up twice so he was now level twenty-eight.
Anton exited the game and minimized it after parking his character beside his private stash. The movie just ended so now everyone was going outside to take a few minutes break so he joined his father. This time, Anton joined the archmages in their discussions about the movies. He answered very few questions since he kept mentioning that he didn’t want to spoil the movies for them.
He admitted that after the three movies, there were another three movies set in the world of Middle-earth which was prequel the Lord of the Rings called The Hobbit. The first movie in the Hobbit films was called “An Unexpected Journey” and Anton told the mages that it was about Bilbo’s adventure.
The mages became excited and when Anton looked at them, instead of looking like old, wise, and respected archmages, they looked like Lord of the Rings fanboys and fangirls which almost made him laugh.
After the break, the excitement in the air was much more palpable since this time everyone hadn’t seen the last movie yet which was The Return of The King. This time, Anton sat beside his father since he wanted to watch everyone’s reaction to the last film.
Anton had to admit that the Lord of the Rings was the most epic film franchise he had ever seen and in his opinion, it was much better than the Marvel or DC movie franchises but again to each his own. He didn’t even know if he could show those films to the audience here in this world since the Marvel and DC movies were shockingly different from this world.
