After dinner, Anton asked his father and Nemina to talk to Eric regarding the business of creating the items. He mentioned that he already did a quality test on the wooden sculptures that Eric made and found them up to standard so the next step was to talk to the carpenter regarding the funds that he would require to start making the items en masse.
Frederick also gladly announced that they could now move to the manor the next day since the mansion was now habitable and the fixing, decoration, and cleaning could be completed while they were living in the mansion.
Everyone was glad when they heard the mage say that they could now move since they could begin concreting their plans since they would now have a base to move forward with creating their business empire. The limited space at the inn suffocated them a bit and the huge space in the manor, which currently still had no name, would help them a lot.
“We also need to submit the name of the manor to be archived so can you give me the name we’ll use?” Frederick asked Anders.
Anders looked at his son and Anton shrugged.
“I gave you a list already Father. You can choose any of them.”
“I like Oak Sage and the Oak Sage spell that you’ve shown us is pretty,” Anna said.
“Okay then. The manor would now be called Oak Sage manor,” Anders announced.
Anton was a bit discontented with the name since it seemed like they chose it abruptly without any thought but it was really not a priority so he just let it be. The name Oak Sage was one of the good ones at least compared to the others on the list that he gave his father.
“By the way, Eric, can you work metal as well? My next enchanted item is an enchanted stove that can be used to cook food and can be used as a heater as well during winter,” Anton asked the carpenter.
Anton then retrieved the enchanted stove prototype from his inventory and showed it to everyone. He explained that the enchanted stove had six heat settings and that the only part of the stove that would heat up was the one inside the indicator. The other area was safe to touch even if the maximum heat setting was on.
“I tried testing if I could create the stove with a mixture of wood and metal in the center but there’s still a danger of burning the wood if the pan or pot that was used touched the wood so I decided to use all metal. Also even if the outside part of the indicator would not be affected by the heat from the enchanted section, if the pan or pot were huge and touched the area outside the indicated section, the metal section would heat up as well.”
“I will go ahead and create a design for the stove and since the only metal part was the one that would heat up, it would not be a problem for me. I’ll also try to find a solution so that the section outside the indicated area would not heat up,” Eric said and Anton nodded his appreciation.

“The next project that I’m thinking of creating is called a mana power bank. Its main purpose is to recharge other enchanted items. I’m not sure how successful it would be but the idea is that the items should have enough power to charge one of our enchanted items at least four or five times before the mana power bank is depleted.”
“That is a good item! I would like to have something like that,” Frederick said.
“Why? You can recharge your item by yourself,” Anna said.
“It would be convenient to have something like a mana power bank if you have enchanted items and I don’t want to spend my spell recharging them since I might need to use my spells to fight,” Frederick answered and Anna nodded when she realized that the mage was correct.
“Of course, the mana power bank that I would create would only work on our enchanted items not others since I don’t know how other enchanted items work,” Anton said.
“That’s a good idea. It would increase the utilization of our enchanted items and would allow us to increase our customer base,” Nemina commented.
“Frederick, can you look for a two-story shop that we can use to sell our enchanted item? I want to own a charming magic shop that would sell the enchanted items that I can make. The first floor will be where I will display my items and the second floor will be my workshop and rest area,” Anton asked Frederick and the mage said that he would start to look for one and would make sure that the location is good.
“Why do you want to own a shop? We can sell your items for you,” Anders said.
“It’s just a hobby. You would also need to open a shop so you will have something that you can show off your items father. From what I know, all huge merchants have huge shops in cities,” Anton told his father.
“Of course, we would open a shop. It’s just that a shop is a massive undertaking and from what I’ve heard from you, you have a lot of plans and didn’t think that you’d have time to manage a shop.”
“As I’ve said, the shop would just be a hobby, and more than likely I would only open it two to three days a week and only a few hours a day. I just want a place where I can see my creations displayed and where people could come in and check them out.”
“Okay then, we’ll go ahead with your request,” Anders shrugged and Anton thanked his father.
“Will your mana power bank be able to recharge the Ice Bolt magic wand?” Lucas suddenly asked.
“It should since the wands are also my creation,” Anton answered.
Lucas then requested more Ice Bolt wands and he told their head guard that he would try to create more since he knew that the man was just thinking about their family’s security and the wands were a massive help. Lucas was actually delighted when he learned that Anton wasn’t planning to sell any enchanted weapons or armor since that meant that the family could monopolize the power of the Ice Bolt wands.
“Oh by the way regarding my statement about not selling weapons or armor, it might be wrong for me to say that since I found another type of enchanted item in the magic shop called a talisman. I thought of copying it as well,” Anton told everyone.
“You can make those?! Those are highly powerful and expensive! When I was a mercenary, I saw my leader use one, and a whole group of feral wolves were suddenly defeated,” Anders said.
“I haven’t tried making one yet so I’ll let you know soon. Father, I also hired two tutors. His name is Mr. Alan Tenor and he will be my tutor. The other one is called Ms. Violet Damby and she will be Anna’s tutor. They’re both very old and dignified teachers and I like them very much. I asked them to talk to you or Nemina regarding their remuneration and I will have Lunette or Devon call on them once we move to the manor,” Anton said to his father.
”We also watched a very lovely romantic show together with the tutors,” Anna said while smiling, thinking about the movie.
“It’s for me to show them a bit of my capability to the old tutors,” Anton said.
