Anton checked the time in his browser and saw that it was only five in the afternoon so he decided to earn more coins. He went into another bazaar and talked to the merchants about the items that would have sold for a lot more money if they weren’t damaged or if they were new. He unhesitatingly purchased them then once he asked Charsi to repair them, sold them back to other merchants.
After a couple of hours, he earned another four hundred gold coins which he stored in his inventory. He would do the same thing the next day since based on experience if he wanted to continue with his enchanting experiments, he would need a lot of coins.
While walking home, Anton noticed that he was being followed by a few men so he went to an alley where there were no people present. The sun had set so it was a bit dark but he could see four men appear at the entrance of the alleyway blocking his exit.
They were professional since one of the men only said a single word which was “Coins!”.
Honestly, he was a bit impressed by them so Anton decided not to kill them. Regarding feeling guilty about their future victims, he was not the kind of person who would care. He activated his auras and he glowed with what seemed like otherworldly magical might.
When the three criminals saw that they immediately ran so fast that Anton laughed. After that, he turned off his auras and went back to the inn without further incidents.
Anton joined his family for dinner in the inn’s common room.
“Where have you been?” Anders asked.
“I went to roam a bit and purchased some materials that I can use for my enchantment research. All of you might be happy to learn that I’m trying to learn how to create an enchanted item that will allow you to summon your own animal. It’s just the materials that I will need for that one was a bit complicated,” Anton said.
Devon looked highly excited since everyone knew that the man really got attached to the Dire Wolf and they also realized that ultimately, the summons were still Anton’s.
“Will the summoned animal be permanent?” Devon asked.
“Based on my experimentation so far, they could be but the enchanted item would be a one-time use and the materials used would be tremendously costly. Not only that, I’m guessing that the power of the animals that will come from the enchanted items would most likely just be a third of my actual summons.”
Devon was taken aback when he heard that but after thinking a while he said something about the summons.
“I would still like one since that one could be really called my own. I saw how powerful your Dire Wolves are and a third of their power is still extremely monstrous.”
Even Lucas nodded when he heard what his son had said. Anton knew that the father and son were truly impressed with the summoned dire wolves.

“Can I have a tiny raven?” Anna suddenly asked and all the girls in the group, even including Nemina, had sparking eyes at the thought of a miniature Raven.
“Sure but that would take me a while since I’m currently concentrating on Dire Wolves.”
“What about a tiny spirit wolf?” Lunelle suddenly asked and all the girls gasped.
Anton could see them imagining holding tiny, cute spirit wolves in their arms and he laughed out loud. Anders asked what he was laughing about and he told his father his speculation about the ladies wanting to hold tiny dogs in their arms and all the men in the group laughed as well. The girls glared at the men but then they talked about cute dogs. Anna even already thought of the names she would give her tiny bird and tiny dog.
“Just remember ladies, the form of the summoned animals would still be adults but just tiny and not babies. And it will take me a while to experiment with creating those tiny pets.”
The ladies ignored him and continued talking about their future pets. Anton just shook his head and continued eating.
After dinner, everyone went to their room. Anton took a bath first in the inn’s bathrooms. He was sharing a room with his Father but it was still comfortable due to the enchanted item of air conditioner.
The next day, Anders, Nemina, and Lucas followed by a dire wolf were still busy selling all of the items that Anton had repaired. The girls, followed by Devon and the second dire wolf went out as well to purchase more things that they would need on the road while Colin remained at the inn.
Anton went out as well and did the same thing that he did yesterday. He went to different stores, bazaars, and markets to talk to merchants and asked about the items that would have sold for a lot of coins if they were not damaged or if they were new and bought them outright. At least the merchants were happy to sell those things to him instead of just throwing them away.
Anton planned to purchase a lot of things and then sell them in another part of the city. He didn’t even return to the inn during lunch and ate in one of the restaurants in the city. After a full day of doing this project, he earned a thousand gold coins so the total gold coins in his inventory was now fourteen hundred.
He knew that it was important for him to have gold coin currency from then on. He went back to the blacksmith who made the gold tablets for him and commissioned another five of them and ten tablets made of silver. The remaining gold coins that he had on him were now eight hundred. If they were going to stay in the city tomorrow, he would do the same thing again.
This time, Anton arrived at their inn without any incidents. He didn’t know if it was because he was being careful or the criminals were already aware of him.
When he joined his family for dinner, Anders announced that they had sold off all of the items that Anton had repaired and earned a lot of coins. That meant that they would be leaving for Homura the next day. Homura was a city that was under the rule of a monarchy system.
According to merchants that Anders and Nemina had talked to, a merchant caravan would take around two months to reach it.
That meant that the city was very far. It still felt weird to Anton that the locations were called cities instead of countries.
“Are we going to stay in Homuras?” Anna asked.
Anders said that he didn’t know but they would check it out first. Anton could understand his father since they didn’t know what kind of city Homuras was but based on the distance, Anton thought that it was indeed far enough away from the Undead Coalition.
The next day, everyone prepared for a long journey. Before they left, Anton repaired all of their things including the two carriages that they were using so now everything looked brand new. He also healed all of their horses using his three auras and did the same thing for all the people in the group.
Anton wanted to make sure that they were in top shape before the long journey ahead. Anders also told everyone to relax and would start the journey in a relaxed and calm state so they could avoid mental exhaustion. He also announced, even without asking Anton, that every night they would watch a movie.
