My Favorite Game Followed Me!

During the afternoon, Mr. Tenor and Ms. Damby returned to their home to get their things with the people that Anders assigned to assist them. Anton went to the warehouse to store the items that Eric had already made in his inventory and saw the carpenter talking to Nemina.

Based on what he heard, they were talking about the location of the workshop that they would assign to the carpenter which was the building structure near the warehouse. Fortunately, that building was huge enough that Eric could invite a few workers to live and work with him there.

He approached the carpenter and Nemina.

“Once you’ve selected your warehouse and cleaned it, I’ll give you some enchanted items like the magic lantern and the air conditioning, the cup that provides cold water, and the one that provides water for washing and bathing.”

“Thanks, Baron Sunders,” Eric casually said which scared some of the workers that the carpenter brought and Anton had an inkling that it was because of how casually Eric was talking to him who was a baron and an archmage.

“Please remember to create a list of names that we would assign to the enchanted items. You can even delegate it to your people if you want.”

Eric nodded and Nemina and the carpenter continued talking about the things he would need in his workshop.

Anton then began repairing the items that needed repair and since there were not many of them, it only took him an hour. Then he began enchanting all the items that Eric had made. Nemina went to him after her talk with Eric.

“Anton, you’re in full view of everyone. Please do your enchantment in a private space like your study,” Nemina told him.

“Am I now supposed to let others see me work?” Anton asked curiously.

“For the repair work, you can do it here since everything is already arranged for you but for your enchanted items, a mage was supposed to keep it a secret. By the way, Lucas said that he would appreciate it if you made more magic wands for him,” Nemina said.

“Show the magic wand to Eric so he could make them to make the wands more stylish. Once they’re stored here, I’ll retrieve them and will begin enchanting them. Those that needed recharging and repair should also be stored here so that I can ask Colin to retrieve them anytime and bring them back here,” Anton said to Nemina and she nodded.

All in all, Anton worked for about four hours and he thought that working for that short amount of time was doable and would allow him to play his Diablo II game to make sure that his power would increase.

Looking at the warehouse, the number of items stored there was getting bigger so that it almost resembled a department store for a variety of things. Anton knew that his Father and Nemina were looking for a shop in the city where they would sell some of the items that he repaired.

Anton then thought that maybe he should dispense in buying his own little magic shop and just put the enchanted item in some sort of special corner or floor in his father's store. That would make their family’s store more famous. Even though having a magic shop would be charming, to be honest about it, their stay in this city was still uncertain due to the looming threat that was the Undead Coalition so having properties here could be a mistake.

After thinking deeply about it, Anton regretfully decided to forgo the little magic shop of his dreams and just put his enchanted items in his father's would-be shop. He headed directly to his study which was located beside his room and would use the room as his workshop.

In his study, he began completing enchanting all of the items that Eric had made and after that, he thought of other items that he could create. He learned one sad part of his magic though, he could not create an enchanted item based on the spells that he memorized from spellbooks. The main reason for that was he could not see the complete mana structure of the spells compared to the ones provided by his Diablo II system. That meant that the only enchanted items that he could make would be based on his Diablo II system spells.

Anton was a bit sad since he wanted to utilize the cleaning spells to create enchanted items like washing machine items.

Because of that, Anton postponed thinking of his next enchanted item and concentrated on completing the mana power bank. After several hours of trial and error, he knew that he was very near to completing the power bank project but he suddenly heard a knock so he exited the game and minimized it. When he checked the time, he saw that it was already eight in the evening so he followed Colin to the dining room.

There he saw his family and the tutors talking while waiting for dinner to be served. When he sat down, Anton talked to Frederick.

“Frederick, you don’t need to look for a magic shop for me anymore. I decided that once our family finds a shop, I’ll just appropriate a corner or a floor for our enchanted item,” Anton announced.

“What changed your mind?” Anders asked his son.

“The enchanted items would help our family shop since it could become a draw. I would be specializing in common magical effects so it’s going to draw a different crowd aside from warriors.”

Anton would have liked to say that he was still wary about their stay in the city because of the Undead Coalition but he was sure that once he uttered those words, it would immediately reach the ears of the governing body of the city of Zalnothel.

He knew that there would be consequences if he allowed Zalnothel to learn that he wasn’t confident in the power of the city. For all he knew the city was very powerful but because he was truly ignorant of the power structures of different organizations of this world he was uncertain. He knew that he would learn more in the upcoming lessons with his tutor but he shouldn’t forget that Mr. Tenor would be biased towards the city.

“We did find a three-story building near one of the main commerce streets and we are currently in negotiations with the owner. We invited the owner and his family for the movie viewing on Sunday.”

“Does that mean that you can only open a shop next week?” Anton asked.

“We’re still in the process of finding one. It was just that the three-story shop was the best one that we had found so far,” Nemina answered.

Anna then told everyone that she learned a lot of things from her tutor but Anton was surprised that Anna was being taught by Ms. Damby for several hours a day. Three hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon plus assignments. It was understandable since Anna only received the very basic education that any farmer’s children would receive and she and her teacher would need to cover a lot before the opening of the semester so she could qualify to enter the general education lessons of her age group. The magical education was different since it was based on magical proficiency so that class was composed of mages of different ages.

One good thing about Anna becoming a mage was her mind began to become flexible and powerful, able to retain her lessons without any issues, which assisted a lot in her learning the basics.
