Chapter 88

Anton and his family and guards continued their journey after repairing and categorizing all the items they had purchased from the last village. Colin asked why they were rushing to the city of Leminthor and Anders just told the new carriage driver that he just wanted to make sure that they outran the bandits that tried to ambush them.

“Sir Anders, are you a wizard too? I saw you blast the blockade with some sort of spell?” Colin asked Anton’s father.

Anders and Anton laughed, and Anton’s father answered Colin.

“I’m not a wizard. I’m just using a wand that my son created.”

Colin looked at Anton in awe, then focused on driving. Anton could understand why his father told the man that he created the wand. They didn’t want it known that the wands came from the vampires and had the undead hunt for them specifically.

Anders asked their new carriage driver if he could handle driving the carriage alone at their current speed.

“I can handle it especially since I’m always full of energy and I’m not experiencing any body ache that resulted from traveling too fast all the time. Sir Anton’s spell is really powerful,” Colin answered so in their next stop, Anders planned to join the women inside the carriage so Anton’s father and Nemina could plan on what they would do once they arrived in the city of Leminthor.

They continued traveling at their top speed only stopping to eat and go to the toilet and soon Anton saw the city in the distance.

Before arriving in the city, Anders and Anton joined Colion again in the driver’s seat.

Anton didn’t know what to expect in another world’s city, but he was surprised at the building that he saw in the distance. There were large mansions and castles, and the architecture was reminiscent of old medieval town cities from the video games that he saw on a famous streaming site. The sight excited him. It brought home the fact that he was now in another world filled with magic and he was a powerful wizard courtesy of his Diablo II game.

The carriage slowed down to normal speed and when they got near enough to the city, Anton saw that there was a long line in the gates. He canceled his auras because he didn’t know if there was someone or something in the city that could detect his spells so to avoid any trouble, he would learn the rules of the city first.

Anton felt guilty about the horses since the carriage was now heavy due to the boxes filled with equipment that Anders asked him to take out from his private stash. There were several heavy boxes on top of the carriage and the inside was also full of chests filled with clothes and their other belongings. Under the carriage, their food and other necessities were stored there.

Anton’s father assured him that the horses should be able to carry them without any problem until they reached the city. The horses were very healthy due to his spells, and they even looked beautiful with their glossy coats courtesy of them drinking mana water all the time.

When it was their time to be inspected by the guards everyone exited out of the carriage. Anna, Lunelle, and even Nemina wore their most beautiful clothes, and they looked like beautiful noblewomen. They were even wearing beautiful pieces of jewelry that looked costly. Their skin was fair and smooth again courtesy of the mana water and Lucas looked smitten when he saw his wife which made Anton, Anna, and Lunelle giggle.

Anders looked like a young rich nobleman. He looked like he was in his mid-thirties instead of his mid-forties. His hair was black, and his eyes were blue. His skin was fair as well courtesy again of the mana water that Anton conjured. Anton’s father was also wearing clothes that fit a young rich nobleman and everyone was looking at them.

The men in the surroundings were looking at the women and Anna was strutting her stuff even though she clearly looked like a little girl. She wasn’t aware that everyone was staring at Lunelle and her mother. Still, she did look like a pretty little princess.

Anton looked like a prince. He was young and tall, and his clothes fit him perfectly. His blue eyes and black hair were full of vitality and his face would bring shame to any male royalty that would be compared to him. Everyone could see the resemblance between Anders and Anton but more than likely, they thought of them as brothers instead of father and son.

What confused Anton was he looked like his old self on Earth only healthier and wondered if Anton was really him in this world and if the theory of multiple existence in different dimensions was true.

Lucas and Devon looked like what they were which were Anton’s family guards. But what made them stand out was their equipment which looked brand new. Colin also looked like what he was which was their attendant, but his new leather armor also looked expensive.

The guards who were inspecting their belongings made an audible gasp when they saw the equipment inside the chests. It was understandable since all the weapons and armor were brand new and the quality was pristine, which it should be since it was repaired by one of the best blacksmiths in the fantasy world which was Charsi.

After the inspection, the guards who became very respectful let them through. Lucas led them since he stayed here before and knew a good inn.

Inside the carriage, Anton and Anna kept looking at the city surrounding through the carriage window and the only thing that kept them from looking like peasant bumpkins were their clothes. Anna kept gasping at every impressive building that she saw, and Anton joined her. They kept discussing how beautiful and grand everything was and Lunelle seeing the siblings uninhibited in their appreciation of the city even though Anton was a powerful wizard and Anna was the sister of a powerful wizard allowed her to join them in appreciating the city without caring about who saw them. Besides, the only people in the carriage were themselves and nobody would criticize them for being country bumpkins.

Of course, Anton had seen the modern cities of Earth but the city that he was looking at was very different. It was a city in another world and the possibility of adventure was endless. The paved road, the buildings made of gray stone, the houses made of bricks, and the stores filled with items that Anton couldn’t recognize at a glance brought forth the quintessential feeling of being an adventurer returning to the city after an exhausting adventure.

Everything was making Anton’s blood boil with excitement, and he gave a small prayer of thanks that he was chosen to be isekaid in this world.

The carriage was moving slowly enough that everyone inside was able to see the city's surroundings without any problem. They passed through a huge square with a fountain and there were entertainers who looked like bards and gypsies to Anton because of their clothing which was filled with every color imaginable.

Anton could see some were playing instruments, some were singing, some were dancing, some were showing off puppets in a mini theater and some were reciting some sort of poem. It was truly exciting.
