Anton thought of the fact that his father was a mercenary before and only stopped due to a back injury. That meant that Anders was experienced and shouldn’t doubt some of the decisions his father made. He was painfully aware that he, his father, and Anna didn’t know how to behave in front of kings and nobles which was understandable since they were a farming family but for some things, they...

Anton wondered why the king of Leminthor invited him to a party instead of just scheduling a meeting with him or Anders but he just shrugged. More than likely some political maneuverings were going on in the background but he was not interested to know.

Anders and the rest returned around six in the evening. Anton saw that his father was in a good mood and that meant that their business concluded well.
Anton was surprised when Anders smiled at his children and he thought that maybe his father had forgotten what happened earlier, which happened to be the case since suddenly he scowled.

Everyone was looking at Anton waiting for his answer to Ander’s questions regarding what came over him to blatantly show off his spell-casting ability causing panic to the inn’s customers.
“I saw from the waiter’s reactions to me earlier that everyone at the inn knew that I’m a wizard so I decided to cast some spell and then show that I was joking so they would know that I’m n...

Anton enjoyed flying so much while hurling Frozen Orb, Chain Lightning, and Meteor to his enemies. It was different casting spells personally since it was much faster and easier. He just needed to think of which spell he wanted to use and the mana would respond to his desire and the spell would gather at his fingertips.
He was enjoying plowing through several groups of monsters while they...

Anton and Fenix arrived at the city square near the inn where his family was staying so he said his goodbyes to his guide and told him to return early in the morning. When he arrived at the inn he went directly to their suite and saw that Anna, Lunelle, and Devon were the only ones there.
“Father and the others are still not here yet?” Anton asked his sister.

“Are you planning to ask the wizard that you’ll hire to travel with you to your next destination? That would cost you a lot of coins!” Fenix asked.
“That’s the plan and we’re willing to pay as long...

After lunch, Anton’s father and the others went back to the business of selling the items. According to Anders, they had already earned hundreds of gold coins and they only sold off a quarter of their total haul.
Anton told his father that he still wanted to roam around the city and probably check if he could find a wizard that he could hire as his and Anna’s tutor.

Anton and Fenix enjoyed the food they ordered and after they were done Fenix led him to a shop that serves as a pawnshop and money changer at the same time.
