Unexpectedly, Devon requested to have the Fire Enchanted Sword prototype and before Anders and Lucas could protest, Anton took the sword from Lucas and gave it to Devon.

Anton laughed out loud when he saw Lucas looking at his son sternly while Devon was wearing a smug expression. Devon stood up and did some sword moves and it looked like he was dancing. The sword that was glowing made his moves very mysterious and powerful at the same time and it attracted the attention of everyone in the inn.

Lucas looked abashed when he heard Anton’s laugh.

“Don’t worry Lucas, I can give you an enchanted sword too, although I would prefer to give out the enchanted swords once the attack could last longer than twenty hits. You can still use it as a showpiece or during emergencies,” Anton almost said the word “toy’ but luckily he was able to hold himself from saying it.

Anton noticed that the other guards were looking at Devon enviously and the smug look on Lucas’s son’s face became greater.

“Anton, can you give a magic wand that does nothing but light up?” Anna suddenly asked with a red face.

“Why?” Anders asked his daughter curiously.

“I want to wield the wand while casting my spells to fill up the mana storage of the wooden tablet of air conditioner during my magic practice. It would feel like I’m a very powerful sorceress!” Anna said while dreamily imagining what she would look like casting spells with a wand that does nothing but light up.

Anders and the other laughed heartily when they heard what Anna had said and Anton’s sister started protesting to everyone to stop laughing. Her face was so red it almost looked like smoke was coming out from her hair.

Anton finally told Anna to get the wand later and she calmed down.

After lunch, Anders told Anton that they would continue their business of buying things from the villagers and he told his father that he would return to his room to meditate and experiment on his enchantment.

Before he went to his room, Anton saw Devon surrounded by some of the guards asking about his enchanted sword and he heard Devon bragging to the others about the sword’s capabilities. Curiously, even though they heard that the sword would only last for twenty hits they still looked like they coveted Devon’s sword.

That meant to Anton that he would need to focus on improving the sword’s enchantments so he could produce them and allow Anders to distribute them to their guards.

“Colin, can you make sure that I’m only disturbed if it’s truly important?”

Anton suddenly remembered that he had already run out of wooden tablets so he asked Colin about more of them and Colin nodded.

The first thing that Anton did when he arrived in his room was to enter the game. Since he was still in the Rogue Encampment, he began creating a wand of light for his sister. What he wanted to do was find the spell structure that would allow the lights to change their color.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Anton was surprised that just changing the color of the light was more complex than allowing the sword to light up. He did encounter some difficulty when he created the spell structure that would allow the Fire Bolt spell structure to integrate a mana pathway that would let the blade of the sword light up using the fire elements instead of a ball of Fire Bolt spell appearing on top of the sword. It actually took him the whole afternoon to create wands that would light up in blue, pink, and green colors. He was mightily impressed at himself for being able to create the mana pathway of colors and he recorded them in his book of Spell Structures and Mana Pathways.

When Anton checked the time, it was already six in the evening. He couldn’t believe that the process of creating the mana pathways for the colors took him five hours. He exited the game and looked for his sister to give the newly created wand to her. He found her still in her room together with her maids.

“Why does it have three switches?” Anna asked when she noticed the switches on the wand’s hilt.

“Try them out but avoid turning on more than one switch since it wouldn’t work if more than one switch is turned on,” Anton said.

Anna and her maids gasped when they saw the wand light up in three different colors depending on the switch that was turned on. The only part of the wand that was glowing was the tip since Anton didn’t want the whole wand lighting up since it would look like a tiny lightsaber if it did that.

“Since the light is so bright, avoid looking at the light directly. The enchantment should last as long as the lantern of Fire Bolt. Maybe even longer since the lantern is turned on for several hours each night and besides, you can fill up the mana storage yourself using your cantrips,” Anton told his sister.

Anna hugged Anton then ran downstairs and Anton assumed to show off his wand to their Father. He followed his sister and when they reached the inn’s common room, which was just downstairs, Anton saw that Anders had set up his purchase business there.

The villagers who were selling their broken and worn-out equipment to Anders and Nemina gasped when they saw Anna holding a wand that was glowing with pink light.

“Father look at what Anton made me! It glows in three different colors!” Anna then changed the color of her wand from pink to blue and then green.

Anton almost laughed out loud when he saw his father’s customer’s eyes grow big while looking at Anna who kept changing the color of her wand’s light.

“I want one too,” Lunelle unexpectedly said to Anton.

Anton just nodded. He saw that Anna’s maids looked like they wanted to request wands too but they held themselves from requesting. He sat beside his father and created three wands right there since it would only take him around ten minutes each to carve the mana pathway on the wands. The research and development of the enchantments were the ones that would take several hours or even days.

After thirty minutes, he gave Lunelle and Anna’s maids their own wands. Anna’s maids were surprised when they received wands of their own and thanked Anton. He was amused to see that the common room looked Christmassy with different colored lights lighting up the place. Devon even joined in on the fun by lighting up his enchanted sword.

“Okay turn them off, I’m getting dizzy!” Anders scolded the women which made Anton laugh.

Several minutes later, Anders closed down their business and told the villagers that they would continue purchasing their items the next day. They ordered dinner from the innkeeper and luckily for the innkeeper’s cook, she was still being assisted by the caravan’s cooks since there were a lot of people from the caravan that needed to eat.

While they were eating, Anton told his father and Anna that the enchantment for the different colored lights was highly complex and that was the reason why he didn’t include the mana regeneration enchantment to the wands. Anna told Anton that it was alright since she would just use her spell to fill up the mana storage of their wands.
