Chapter 201

At around eleven, Anton went to the dining room to join his family in eating lunch and Anton could feel the excitement in the air. Nemina announced that they should quickly finish lunch since there would be guests that they had invited to see the films.

After thirty minutes, everyone then went to the ballroom that was converted into a theater. Thankfully, even though the room was almost full of people, the temperature was cool and comfortable due to the enchanted sculptures that contained the Frozen Orb of Air Conditioner that was engraved to them and everything was clean due to Anton’s cleaning spell.

Their new butler kept announcing the guests that were coming in and from what Colin had told him, they were the rich merchants and nobles that they had business dealings with during the past few days.

The visitors kept exclaiming whenever they entered the premises since the air conditioning enchanted items made sure that the temperature in the mansion was refreshingly cool and since it was the summertime, it was highly welcomed.

Anton was glad that he could access his Diablo II system and System Browser whenever and wherever he was so that meant while everyone was watching or re-watching The Fellowship of the Ring, he could be with them in the ballroom converted to theater but would busy himself in grinding for gear using his sorceress character.

Since he would be with others, he couldn’t enter the game using virtual mode and would play using the on-screen option and he was still sticking to his plan of playing the brand new character using the virtual mode so he could only grind for gears using his sorceress characters.

At around fifteen minutes before one in the afternoon, Ignomus the butler announced the two most important guests that Nemina invited.

“The Archmage Tristan and the Archmage Voduria!” Ignomus loudly announced.

When the two archmages entered, Anton of course, welcomed the respected wizards.

“Archmage Tristan, Archmage Voduria, I didn’t know that you were coming!” Anton said.

“It was supposed to be a surprise to you, Archmage Anton so we were asked by your father’s secretary, Ms. Nemina to keep it all hush-hush,” Archmage Voduria laughed.

“I was intrigued when Ms. Nemina boasted that we would be able to see the most wonderful show that would be brought on by your spell so I came. Unfortunately, the Archmage Drenor and Monet were busy today so they couldn’t come,” Archmage Tristan said.

“I appreciate it that you came. I hope you enjoy the show,” Anton said then he led the two archmages towards the front and when his father and the two tutors, Mr. Tenor and Ms. Damby saw the two respected archmages, they stood up.

After everyone was seated, it was Anders who went to the front to give a speech.

“The show that you will see is the best show that I’ve ever seen in my life. Admittedly, I have seen a few of them and they were plays conducted by live people and this one is highly different but I was informed by Anton’s two respected teachers that it was also the best show that they had ever seen in their life as well. It’s an epic story about adventure, magic, friendship, duty, and love. We will conduct a break every hour for ten minutes so please prepare yourselves to be interrupted after an hour so you can relieve yourself if you want to. Almost all of us had seen this “movie” and as expected, when my son announced that he would show us “Part two” of the trilogy of The Lord of the Rings we were excited but then he announced that he would show the first film again for our guests, Anton foolishly thought that those of us who had seen the movie already would skip it and would just watch “Part Two” but all of us who had seen the first film are here. That meant that all of us here wanted to be part of the hobbits’ adventure again. After “Part One” ends, we will conduct a thirty-minute break to eat dinner before proceeding with the next part. Please enjoy the movie.”

Stolen novel; please report.

After that speech, Anders gestured towards Frederick and the mage turned off all the lights except one that was located near the door at the back.

Anton then cast his Globe of Browser Sharing and then started The Fellowship of The Ring. While everyone was watching, he maximized his Diablo II game and started grinding items from Old Meph in Act of Hell Mode in his sorceress character.

After an hour, Anders tapped him and Anton immediately minimized his game and paused the movie. Frederick turned on the lights. Anders then announced loudly that the movie would resume after a few minutes.

A few people went to the bathrooms to relieve themselves but the two archmages and the merchants and nobles that Nemina invited remained seated with stunned expressions on their faces.

Suddenly, as if awakened from their stupor, the merchants and nobles asked several questions to Anders.

Questions like whether were there any enchanted items that would allow them to distribute the movie, or if could they stay to watch the next part even though the first film wasn’t over yet, and several more questions.

Anders admitted that he planned to open a theater since Archmage Baron Sunders, his “son” had thousands of movies in his collection. Nemina was talking to the two archmages about Anders's plan to open a theater but admitted to the archmage that they were lacking a key magical item which was an item that would allow them to record the movie with the same quality of picture and sound.

“That’s a common enough magic item but if you want something that could record that wonderful show with the same quality, you have to commission one from a high-level enchanter,” Archmage Voduria said.

Before they could continue talking, Anders stood up and announced that the movie would resume, and after a couple more minutes, Anton resumed the movie.

He went back to grinding for items while the others continued watching the film. Everyone was so focused on the film that Anton could hear everyone’s reactions, even those who had already seen the first movie.

When the movie ended, there was a couple of minutes of silence then the audience clapped enthusiastically.

“Archmage Drenor and Monet would regret not coming with us the moment I tell them what they have missed.” Archmage Tristan said.

“Since this is a trilogy, that meant that there’s a part three. When you announce the date when you’ll show the third movie, can you invite us again, Baron Sunders? You will also need to prepare yourself to let the other archmages watch the first two movies since Tristan here has a large mouth.” Archmage Voduria said.

“The movie is wonderful as Mr. Anders had said. There was adventure, duty love, and magic, and the movie was meant to be shared and I will do so with our colleagues. Although I felt a bit confused about the magic being used by the wizards in the movie. There were glimpses of powerful magic but in general, I find the magic that was used in the story weak.” Archmage Tristan said.

“It’s not weak. They just kept everything vague and I would have done the same since I’m guessing that this “movie” is based on a different dimension and the makers of this “movie” deliberately kept the magic that was used vague to not offend the wizards in their dimension,” Archmage Voduria ruminated.

Anders then invited all of the mages, nobles, and merchants to dinner so everyone followed him to the dining room.
