Anton’s family and their guard and their family enjoyed their lunch and he summoned mana water for everyone.

“Lucas, this is called mana water by my son. It would greatly refresh your body and heal old ailments that your body has once you have drunk this water for a long time. Some said that it also made me look younger.” Anders told Lucas and his family.

“I bathed in it as well and it made my hair and my skin look pretty!” Anna boasted.

“It should be extremely valuable. We can’t afford to purchase that Sir Anders,” Lucas said.

“You don’t have to purchase it. It will be one of the benefits that you will receive while you are working for us,” Anders continued.

Lucas and his family thanked Anders, Anton, and even Anna and when they drank the mana water, they let out exclamations that it tasted wonderful.

After lunch, Anton took out all the items that they purchased from the villagers from his Diablo II private stash and they were inside four huge sacks. He also took out one of the sacks that contained the blankets since they would lay down the blankets and put down the equipment there.

Anders prepared three huge blankets on the ground. The first blanket contained all the weapons and armor that was piled on it from the villagers and the next blanket contained all the things that Anna purchased like old clothing of the nobility, broken jewelry, and different knick-knacks and both blankets looked like they contained huge piles of garbage. The next blanket was empty and was intended for the newly repaired items.

Lucas, Devon, Nermina, and Lunelle looked on curiously since they weren’t warned by Anders or Anton not to look. Lucas did ask Anders though just to be sure.

“Yes, Lucas you can all look. My son will do this a lot and it would be quite difficult to hide it from you all since you’re all part of our party.”

When everything was ready Anton told his father that he would repair ten items at a time. Anders did ask his son to do the weapons first, and the armor second and left the other things for last. He then picked ten broken and worn-out weapons, put them in his inventory, and had Charsi repaired them. After that, he put the newly repaired weapons on the empty blanket. Before he continued to the next set of ten, Anders, Lucas and Devon examined the weapons one by one.

“That is a great magic!” Devon exclaimed.

“Everything looked new and clean!” Lucas added.

“Sir, can you repair our weapons and armor as well? You can take out the repair fee from our pay,” Lucas asked Anton.

“I’ll repair your weapons and armor and I’ll not be charging you since you will need to use those for our protection. Actually, bring all your belongings like your clothing,” Anton told Lucas and Nermina and Anders nodded when Lucas looked at him.

Nermina and Lunelle excitedly went to their cart to get their things and Anders and Lucas kept examining and admiring the weapons. Anton heard his father and Lucas talk about what price his father would charge when he sold the weapons and armor in the city.

Devon came back first wearing ordinary clothing and he laid down his weapon and armor in the blanket. He then urged Lucas to do the same thing so Lucas went somewhere to take off his armor so it could join the pile of garbage that needed to be repaired.

Nermina and Lunelle came back with all of the things they wanted to repair. When all the belongings of Lucas and his family were on the blanket, Anton repaired them ten at a time. Everything was repaired in no time and he urged Lucas, Devon, Nermina, and Lunelle to change to new clothes so he could repair what they were wearing which they promptly did.

Nermina and Lunelle had huge smiles admiring their brand-new clothes and Lucas and Devon kept caressing their new swords.

Anton then continued repairing all of the items in the blankets. Some of the repaired weapons and armor were kept in a couple of huge storage boxes that would be put on the carriage for appearance's sake to make them look like legitimate merchants.

All the others were put into huge sacks so he could put them in his private stash and would occupy less space. Lucas and Devon went back to guarding them making sure that no one would surprise them.

When Anton arrived at the part where he started repairing the clothing and knick-knacks, Anna, Nermina, and Lunelle were watching with glittering eyes. It was as if they were expecting treasures to appear.

After he repaired a few of the items, the girls inspected them one by one and kept exclaiming how beautiful everything was. Anna cajoled their father for some of the jewelry and clothes and since they did purchase them very cheap, Anders indulgently gave them to his daughter. Lunelle looked on with envy and when Anders saw that, he told Lucas’s daughter that he could choose a couple of clothes and jewelry from the pile. He also told Nermina that she could as well but Lucas’s wife declined.

Anders stored some of the newly repaired clothing and jewelry in one of the smaller boxes and also kept it on the carriage so if some city official examined their vehicle, they would look like prosperous merchants.

Anton heard Anna and Lunelle talking about how beautiful the clothes and jewelry were and that they were quite sure that they would sell for a lot of money which he doubted since time immemorial, there was fashion that women in cities followed, and if the clothing and jewelry were not in style, they would not be sold off.

Anders was actually aware of that fact but since they purchased everything very cheap, it really didn’t matter and if the prosperous merchants or nobles did not want them, they were sure that common folks would want them if the price was affordable enough.

Anders and Anton were not worried about not earning coins from the clothing and other knick-knacks since any price they tagged them would still earn them a lot but the weapons and armor were the money makers. Anton’s father kept smiling while he was examining all the newly repaired items and to be honest, the majority of the length of time it took them to complete the project was Anders examining the items one by one.

It was evening when Anton finally repaired everything and all of the items were properly sorted and stored in sacks, barrels, and boxes and stored in his private stash except for those that Anders put in the carriage.

Anton then took the food from his stash and gave them to Anna to serve everyone. It was a very fruitful afternoon and he was glad that the activity made his father and sister happy. After dinner, everyone prepared their tents and Lucas and Devon asked Anton to just wait for them to set up his tent which made him feel a bit awkward since Anders and Anna were not given the same treatment.
