🕑 Added 2024-04-28 02:00:02 +0000 UTCThe next day arrived, and Anton kept in his private stash in the game all the things that Anders and Nemina purchased including the food that the chef from the inn prepared. He was impressed at the amount of equipment that his father managed to acquire.
Anton saw that Colin was now their carriage driver and his old parents were by the side watching their son prepare for travel.
“I gave Colin’s parents coins, and they should be able to live well with the amount they received. As per Colin’s request, I also gave his first few months of wages to his parents,” Anders said to him when his Father noticed him looking at Colin.
When the old couple saw Anton, they immediately went to him and offered him a basket.
“Young wizard, this is the bread that I prepared last night. This is thanks for curing our son. He looks so happy now and thank you for employing him,” The old woman said to Anton and after receiving the basket full of bread, he took one and bit at it.
“It’s very delicious Madam,” Anton said to the old woman, and the old couple’s face filled with a proud smile that a mighty wizard liked the food they prepared.
When everyone was ready, the women entered the carriage while Anton and Anders joined Colin in the driver's seat. Anders told his son that they would need to guide Colin first since the way they traveled which was governed by his magic would startle anyone.
At first, Colin refused to give the horses’ handle to Anders saying that he knew how to drive a carriage but when Anders explained that there would be magic involved in their journey and that he would need to learn first, their new coach relented.
Lucas told Anton that normal travel from this village to the city of Leminthor would take about seven days but with their speed, it should be way faster, how fast, Lucas couldn’t calculate.
Their journey began with Anders explaining things to Colin which Anton ignored. Colin’s parent waved their hands when the carriage began to move. Anton added all the people in his party system and activated his Prayer, Meditation, and Vigor auras then after a few minutes switched it to the horses.
“I feel so full of stamina! I think I could run the entire day,” Colin said after he experienced the auras from Anton. It was his second time experiencing it but during the first time, he was focused on his growing limbs.
“That’s Anton’s spell. It would allow the horses to run at their maximum speed constantly without getting tired or injuring themselves. Anton switches to us and the horses every hour so everyone would always be at their peak. That meant we could travel at our maximum speed and would only stop to eat. The only side side-effect of my son’s spells was we would need to eat more than normal, that’s why we purchase a lot of food,” Anders said to Colin.
“Sir Anton is very powerful! You’re lucky Sir Anders,” Colin said, and Anders just smiled.
After six hours of traveling, Anders stopped the carriage beside the road. They all went down to eat, and Anton provided mana water to everyone including the horses.
“What is this chilly water?! I can feel my body being refreshed!” Colin exclaimed.
“We call it mana water and it’s a magic water that my brother conjures for us to drink and bathe. It’s highly beneficial for keeping us healthy. It also makes my skin smooth and my hair shines!” Anna said.
Colin gasped when he heard the benefits of the mana water that Anton produced.
“I should be tired due to the travel that we did always at top speed, but my body feels fine and I’m still full of energy,” Colin softly commented, and everyone just smiled when they heard it.
Anton then repaired their carriage by putting it into his inventory and had Charsi repair it to make sure that it was in peak condition and to avoid any accident due to it breaking down due to its fast traveling speed.
Everyone could see that Colin was amazed again when the carriage disappeared and reappeared after a few seconds fully repaired and looking brand new.
Colin went to Devon and asked the man what happened with the carriage.
“Sir Anton cast his spell on the carriage to make sure that it was fully repaired. It’s now brand new which would prevent any accidents from wear and tear due to our speed,” Devon answered the new carriage driver.
“I feel like I’m in one of the magical journeys in one of those fantastical stories with us not getting tired and having hot meals all the time,” Colin said to Devon.
“There would always be many huge advantages of traveling with a powerful wizard and Sir Anton is especially powerful, but the important part is he is very kind and generous,” Devon said to Colin making sure that nobody heard them.
They continued their journey until well into the night. Anton conjured a couple of hovering Fire Balls that lit up the road which caused another amazement to enter Colin’s face. Anton was getting tired of seeing that particular expression on their new carriage driver’s face, so he just ignored the man which caused his Father to laugh.
They stopped at around midnight and the campsite they chose was still bright due to Anton’s hovering Fire Balls. He set up their makeshift toilet and made sure that there was enough water for all of them.
They surrounded the campfire and started eating the delicious hot meal from the village. While they were eating, their new carriage driver spoke to Anton.
“Sir Anton, I just want to thank you again for restoring my limbs and hiring me as your carriage driver.”
Anton just nodded and he turned to his Father.
“Father, are we repairing the equipment tonight?”
“Yes. I would like all of the equipment to be repaired and categorized before we arrive in the city of Leminthor.”
“That would take hours!” Anna exclaimed.
“Yes, so we better start now. Go ahead and bring out the items that needed to be repaired first.”
Anton brought out a few huge blankets first and everyone laid out the blankets first. On the first blanket, he put all the items that the women purchased first, these included broken jewelry, clothes, and other knick knacks. There was a lot, and the blanket was filled to the brim. He also brought out the boxes where the repaired items would be stored once they were repaired.
Colin was looking at the items curiously and Anton could see the wonder on their new carriage driver’s face why they purchased a lot of garbage.
Anton had Charsi repair the clothes first and even if it was done one by one, it was fast enough that it only took a second for an item to be repaired. Everyone could see the amazement in Colin’s face when he saw the worn-out and broken clothes disappearing and then reappearing looking brand new.
“That’s one of Sir Anton’s magic. He’s able to repair an item until it is brand new. That’s why they kept purchasing those items that looked like garbage. Once they were magicked, Sir Anders could sell them for a lot of coins,” Devon told Colin.
The women were particularly excited. To Anton, they looked like women who were shopping in a mall browsing through the goods and exclaiming how beautiful everything was. They took great care in folding the items and keeping them in the storage boxes while Nemina and Anders discussed the price they would attach to each item while Nemina wrote in a notebook. Ultimately, they decided that there would be a need to browse in the city’s market first so they could learn the correct pricing, but they already had a possible price range for the majority of the items.
