“Is that tablet pure gold?” Andrea asked when she saw the glittering tablet.

“Yes since for some reason, the enchantment can only be accepted by gold and nothing else. I don’t even know if the enchantment can be accepted by any other magical materials since I haven’t encountered any magical materials yet. I first tried it with wood since most of my enchantment was written in wooden tablets but wood just burst into fire. I tried it on iron and silver and the same thing happened and only gold accepted the enchantment.”

“Is that why it’s so expensive?” Soren asked but he just received a slap on the head from his uncle.

Everyone knew that with how powerful the Spirit Wolf was, the price that Anton had given them was already considered astonishingly cheap but the fact was, it was still very expensive. Andrea whispered to Anton that even if they pooled their funds, they would have very little liquid funds they could use to conduct business on the islands that the Amelia would stop.

“How about this? You can have the item and pay me once we’re in New Drennor and you’ve established yourselves. Is that fine?” Anton said.

Torun’s father was very decisive when he uttered his next sentence.

“I know you’re being kind to us because of your relationship with Torun and the others. If you truly allow us to get the items and pay you when we’re all settled in New Drennor then the only thing we can do is to pay for the full price instead of the fifty percent discount that you’ve mentioned. Can you also let us take three of them? I’m ashamed to say that I know we’re taking advantage of you but all of us here are truly frightened of the murderers who can kill silently.”

Borun was red after he said that and Anton knew that Torun’s father was deeply embarrassed. When he looked around, he saw that everyone looked ashamed as well and Torun, Blake, Andrea, and even Soren looked like they wanted to disappear. They all knew that the reason why he presented the items to their family was because he was their friend.

He knew through his communication with them during the past couple of days that Torun and the others had deep integrity and would have never taken advantage of him in normal times but these times were dangerous and everyone needed all they could get to make sure their loved ones were safe.

The three Patriarchs were becoming nervous when they saw that Anton was thinking deeply and he almost laughed. He knew that they were still wary of him being a very powerful wizard and everyone knew that wizards’ temperament was unpredictable so to calm everyone down he uttered his reply to Borun’s request.

“I can give you three Sprit Wolves tablets. Just remember to pay me once you’ve settled yourselves in New Drennor. You can easily find our family since we will be establishing the cinema there once we arrive in the new continent.”

The three middle-aged men looked startled when Anton said that they could find him in the cinema. They must have forgotten that his family was the cinema’s owner since he was sure that their children probably told them that information. The three patriarchs thanked him profusely after he gave them three golden tablets of Spirit Wolves then. Now he only had five summoning tablets remaining, three were Dire Wolves and two were Spirit Wolves.

“To whom are you assigning the Spirit Wolves? Remember that the summoner will be the master of the wolf and will be responsible for the summoned animal. If you don’t want to tell me, that’s fine as well since I’m just curious,” Anton said.

It appeared like the three leaders of the families wanted him to know since they began discussing who should be the ones assigned to summon the wolves. At first, they thought of assigning them to Torun, Blake, and Soren but then the three young people usually roamed around the ship and the wolves would need to stay near the family so the summoned animals could protect them in their time of need.

Anton then heard that they had decided that the patriarchs would be the ones summoning the animals since they were ultimately the ones responsible for the whole family. He saw that Torun, Blake, and Soren who were listening closely were highly disappointed when they learned that they would not be the ones summoning the wolves.

When the family leaders informed Anton of their decision, he just shrugged. He did console his friends that if they managed to save enough coins, they could always look for him to purchase the summoning tablets.

The three patriarchs then decided to use the summoning tablets while Anton was there just to be safe so the first one who used the tablet was Borun, Torun’s father and when his Spirit Wolf appeared, everyone could see that the middle-aged man was highly excited that for a moment, he looked like he was back in his youth.

Borun then gave several commands to his Spirit Wolf, even silly ones, and the wolf followed them to the letter. Finally, Torun’s father mounted the wolf and commanded it to patrol around the perimeter while he was on top of it even to the point of disregarding everyone.

Martin, Blake’s father, and Rommel, Soren’s uncle immediately used the summoning tablet as well and when their wolves appeared they also began commanding their wolves and then mounted them and joined Borun in patrolling the area but everyone knew that the three men just wanted to play with the newly summoned wolves.

“In our family, to differentiate the summoned animals, we usually put different colored scarves on them but I’m guessing that you’ll have your way to identify the wolves.

The young people who were looking at the three patriarchs roaming around on top of the summoned wolves looked envious and Torun kept asking if it were true that they could purchase their own once they had enough coins even after Anton kept reiterating they could.

“Do you have any other summoning animals aside from the Spirit Wolves?” Andrea suddenly asked and that question drew the attention of everyone left in the conference room.

“Yes. Aside from Spirit Wolves, I also have Dire Wolves which are bigger and more powerful than Spirit Wolves but they looked scarier so I was thinking it would be best to offer your family the Spirit Wolves instead. I also have Ravens and miniature spirit wolves and ravens,” Anton answered.

Torun and Soren asked to see the Dire Wolves so Anton summoned one. When the Dire Wolf appeared, everyone was taken aback since it did look like a monster. Some of the little children even hid behind their elders. After a couple of minutes of everyone studying the Dire Wolf, Anton dismissed it.

“What do you mean by miniature spirit wolves and miniature ravens?” Andrea asked.

“Just like what I said. Tiny wolves and tiny ravens. I made it as a toy companion for my sister and friends. If you want I can sell you a tiny raven so you can send a message to me anytime you want. You just attach a letter to the raven and it will fly to me and it’s also much cheaper compared to the original animals,” Anton then gave a summoning tablet of a tiny raven to Andrea.

Anton still had a few tiny wolves and tiny ravens left and when he counted, there were at least five of each after giving one to Andrea.
