Anton, the three wizards that he bound using his Telekinesis spell, Captain Armand, and his men arrived at a room that looked like some sort of office and the captain told him that it was the headquarters for the guard squad assigned to this particular section of the Amelia. The captain also mentioned that since this location included the area where the magic shops were located, the squad was composed of a mix of wizards and normal people.
Captain Armand sat together with Anton with the three wizards floating by the side unable to move inside what looked like an interrogation room. They didn’t have to wait for too long since soon after, the Supreme Numinor arrived followed by a couple of people. The Supreme Wizard introduced the two people as some sort of aides.
“Archmage Sunder, I was informed that some mages tried to attack you?” Numinor asked that moment he entered the room.
Anton was a bit disappointed since he was expecting the Supreme Wizard to arrive using some sort of teleportation magic just like they did when they arrived in his family suite to battle it out with the ghost but the Supreme Wizard mundanely entered through the door.
“These three wizards were doing some sort of ritual trying to cast some sort of mind spell on me,” Anton replied.
Supreme Numinor cast some sort of spell towards the three mages and then he asked Anton to remove his binding spell from them so he simply stopped holding them using Telekinesis. Numinor said that the spell that he cast would prevent the three mages from casting any spells.
The three mages fell on their butt the moment Anton stopped holding them up using Telekinesis but he didn’t apologize. They deserved more for attacking him if Anton was being honest.
The wizards suddenly shouted that they were captured unlawfully and were not given the chance to explain themselves. They were babbling so fast and so loud that Numinor cast what seemed to be a Silence spell on them and Anton could see the three mages still moving their mouths but no sound appeared.
Numinor then said that he would begin questioning the mages. The Supreme then dispelled the Silence spell and cast another spell on them that made them look like they were hypnotized. Anton was impressed at the variety of spells that the Supreme Numinor had been casting that he thought that he should begin considering memorizing spells from the magic system in this world that would assist him since most of the spells from the Diablo II system were geared towards battle. That was the reason why he loved the Cleaning Spells that Anton had memorized.
Numinor unearthed a lot of information from the captured wizards. They said that they were High Wizards and planned to enslave the “young mage” who was the backbone of the family who established the cinema.
Apparently, it was all about wealth. The organization that the three mages belonged to was some sort of underground group that was established in New Drennor and they knew that the movies from the cinema would bring that organization a tremendous amount of wealth.
They also mentioned that if they were aware that Anton was an archmage, they wouldn’t have tried to enslave him using the ritual spell that they cast which would only work on a mage that had a lower rank than they have and since they were High Wizards, they were confident that they would be successful since they thought Anton, being young as he was, would immediately succumb to their spell.

“The organization called Dark Moon is a powerful black organization in New Drennor composed of regular people up to several supreme wizards. Their main goal was to earn coins to increase the power of the wizards in their group. They had been a thorn in New Drennor’s government for a long time since they are an unscrupulous group of greedy people,” Numinor told Anton when they heard from the three mages that they belonged to that group.
“Will they keep attempting to enslave me because of the movies and the cinema?” Anton asked the Supreme Wizard.
“They might but you’re a powerful mage and you’re aware that our world is not a peaceful one so the only thing that you can do is to be vigilant, make yourself more powerful, and form a group that would protect your family and your business,” Numinor answered.
Anton nodded and he probably conveyed enough confidence in his demeanor that Numinor just smiled at him. He was a bit confident since there were now a lot of mages in the family and with his auras supporting them, they would become powerful soon enough maybe even before they disembark from the ship to New Drennor.
Numinor then assured Anton that he would handle the three mages since they would try to unearth more information about the dark organization from them. Anton said his goodbye and then went outside the interrogation room but he was followed by one of Numinor’s aides.
The aide then told Anton in what he presumed with Numinor’s consent that the information that the Supreme Wizard would be able to dig from the mages would be a major contribution to New Drennor by Numinor which would result in deeper government connection and resources. The aide thanked Anton and to expect a reward from the Supreme Wizard.
Anton only told the aide that he was happy to help and then returned to his family suite. Back at the suite, everybody was there already since it was dinner time and even Antonia, Lucia, Walter, and Phillip were there.
“What happened Anton? We heard that a glowing wizard ran rampant in the magic shop area and the first one that came to our mind was you,” Anton’s father asked him.
Anton then told everyone that he would tell everything but he wanted to order dinner first since he was hungry so they called Harun and Anton gave their sailor guide an appropriate amount of Kraken Tentacle meat to be cooked by professionals then they all sat at the dinner table. He noticed that more chairs were surrounding the table and they were all able to sit but it was a tight fit but doable.
“I was attacked by a powerful ritual spell by three High Wizards trying to enslave me. I captured them and when the guards tried to arrest me, I told them to call the Supreme Numinor since he can vouch for me. The Supreme Numinor interrogated the mages and they told us that they were part of a dark organization called Dark Moon based on New Drennor,” Anton told everyone while they were waiting for their dinner.
When his four friends from New Drennor heard the organization's name, they all gasped and everyone noticed.
“What is the Dark Moon organization? Are they a powerful group?” Anders asked the four nobles.
“They were established decades ago based on what we knew and their main purpose was just like any underground criminal organization. Take control of the underbelly of the city so they could have wealth and the main goal of that wealth is to create more powerful wizards. I don’t know why they need powerful wizards and I assume it was because they wanted to control more territory,” Phillip answered.
“Why did they target you and do we need to worry about them?” Anders asked his son.
“From what the Supreme Numinor unearthed through interrogating the three High Wizards. Their action was their own. They wanted to control me because they wanted to own the cinema and the movies and they thought that I was a lower-rank wizard compared to them. That was the reason their enslavement spell didn’t work,” Anton answered.
