Anton’s family had already seen vehicles in some of the movies he had shown them, but The Dawn of The Dead seemed to be the first film that aroused the men in his family’s interest in automobiles. He was guessing that it was because of how the protagonists in the movie manually modified the large vehicle they used to travel across town to outrun the zombie or how so out of this world the other vehicles in the science-fiction films that they had seen that there was a chance that they considered those as just product of the imagination of the creators of the film.

They discussed cars and other types of vehicles, how they were made, and what fueled them. Generally, of course, since Anton did not really know much about cars. He even had to search for the answers to some of their questions on the Internet which opened a lot more questions.

Even Anton’s father joined in on the discussion and Frederick even brought out a notebook to take notes. Thankfully, the girls seemed to be interested as well since they also had questions or they were just indulging the men.

Either way, Anton got tired of answering their questions so he showed everyone a few short videos from the famous streaming website on how cars were made and how they worked. He didn’t show them how cars were made in mega factories since Anton knew that that would just probably negatively impact his family’s interest but chose videos wherein cars were manually assembled by mechanics.

After watching the videos, Anton thought that those would satisfy his father, Lucas, Devon, and the others but they continued their discussion after showing clips. When Anton expressed a subtle impression that he would like to stop the talks and rest, his father glared at him so he had no choice but to continue answering their questions.

They talked about how to commission parts of the car onto a blacksmith and even talked about how to replace the fuel with a mana battery since their family could easily charge a battery that gets its power from mana through a mana power bank.

Finally, Anton had to remind everyone that he had already created something like the hoverboard that runs on mana. If they were truly interested in creating something like a car, they could just create an exterior that looked like a car and then Anton would just attach the mechanics and process of the enchanted hoverboard to it. They could even make it a business by selling the enchanted cars and then create mana stations where the car could pay to have their car mana storage refilled by huge mana power banks that were filled by mana by the mages they hired.

The business concept lit up Anders and Nemina’s eyes but Lucas dashed their ambition by saying they could experiment on the concept of mana cars but should focus on the cinema first.

“There were already magic-powered carriages in New Drennor but I have to admit that they were very few of those and were only used by the most powerful citizens of the city,” Walter said.

“If your family can commercialize something like a magic car and make it cheap enough that a typical well-off family can afford them, wealth will truly enter your vaults,” Phillip commented.

“You can even teach the process to other mages so Anton can focus on his thing,” Antonia added.

“I can’t teach my enchantment process since my magic is based on my bloodline system. I’m sure that some of the enchanted items that I sold had already been examined by item enchanters or alchemists or whatever you call mages that do item enchantments, and if they could have copied them, some of the items should be circling the market by now,” Anton said.

“Can you do regular enchantments as done by regular mages?” Lucia asked.

“Probably since I can learn regular spells but I don’t want to divide my attention to another magic system. Even the Supreme Numinor advised that I should focus on my personal magic since it was the one that made me very powerful so fast. I would only turn my attention to standard magic if I have explored my bloodline magic to the fullest but so far, I haven’t seen any limit on it yet.”

“Since Anna is your sister, can she do your magic as well?” Antonia asked and everyone waited for the answer curiously.

“No, since if she can do the same thing as I can, she would have already known the moment she became aware that she can do magic or even earlier than that since she should have been able to feel it in her very being. I can’t explain any more than that.”

“I remember back then, you always showed off all the new spells that you’ve learned but you stopped doing that,” Anders asked his son.

“Back then, we were on our farm and we had the place to ourselves so I could show off but ever since we’ve traveled, we were always so busy and remember the information I shared with you and Anna before about the characters and spells that I can access?”

“Oh yeah! You said that you can acquire the spells of a sorcerer, a druid and I forget the others!” Anna exclaimed.

“Well, one of the characters that I have access to was a necromancer so the spells that I learned from that were death spells and you know our situation. If I use those spells in public, everyone would probably condemn me as one of the mages from the Undead Coalition.”

“What kind of necromancy magic have you learned?” Frederick asked curiously and everyone else was curious for that matter.

“Right now, I focused my necromantic magic on curses like blinding enemies, weakening enemies, and things like that but I do have access to awaken skeleton warriors and skeleton mages but they are truly horrific since they require a dead person’s body to summon them. As a matter of fact, I have the capability of summoning an undead army consisting of skeleton warriors, archers, and mages if I’m evil enough to allow the use of corpses as ingredients.”

Anna gasped and everyone looked horrified. Anders told him in a very severe tone that he was not allowed to use those kinds of spells and Anton just smiled.

“You don’t need to worry, father, everyone, I wasn’t planning to and to be honest with you, right now I’m learning the spells of a holy warrior called a Paladin.”

“You mean the powerful warriors of gods and goddesses?!” Walter exclaimed.

“Yes. My healing spells came from that character and right now I’m learning the rest of the Paladin’s spells available to me.”

“What are the Paladin spells that you’ve already learned?” Anna asked.

“I now have several spells called auras. You all have experienced the auras that let me heal, and let my allies recover magic energy, I think that’s the one that allowed you to memorize spells very fast, auras that let my allows recover their stamina which was the one that let you work or travel without any rest but now I have several more. I have auras that will allow me and my allow to have more physical strength, and physical accuracy when using range weapons and more.”

“You can actually pretend to be a priest! Or even a true actual holy warrior of a church!” Antonia exclaimed.

“I also now have a magic holy bolt that can heal people from afar and that same bolt can severely damage the undead but my most powerful offensive Paladin spell is called a Blessed Hammer that allows me to summon multitudes of magic hammers that will damage my enemy. It’s a very dangerous spell since the spell doesn’t discriminate between my allies and my enemies.”
