Anton knew that based on his and Anna’s behavior, they were exhibiting an unhealthy mental state, but he didn’t know how to cure something like that. All the information about alleviating mental illness that he could gather from the internet was much too vague and dangerous to try out, so he opted to think that the best solution was time, for both of them.
Since Anna would stay in a magic academy, Anton thought that, since her sister could be considered one of the most talented wizards due to her expertise at a very young age, he knew that any magic school that she would enroll in would take care of her. Not only that, he thought that the school environment could be the best environment that would heal her.
As for himself, Anton thought that spending time inside a dungeon would allow him to increase his strength. In what way, he didn’t know. He didn’t know anything about dungeons in this world since back in Rendindura, the subject was never discussed. He even thought that there was no such thing as a dungeon in this world, which was wrong of him to think so, since even Diablo II had dungeons, which were specific areas that spawned randomly.
Anton thought that, possibly, the only benefit that he could get from dungeons was battle experience. Not in the way that his character's level would increase, but in a way that he would get used to battling it out with monsters of this world using his spells.
At first, Anton thought of delving the dungeons solo, but that would not teach him anything. He thought that it would be best for him to join an adventurer group so he would learn how to fight in a team because he thought that someday, when it was time for him to battle it out with the Undead Coalition, he would not be alone since it was a fight between humans and the undead.
Anton supposed that he would probably delve into dungeons just a few times a week, and the rest of the time, he would still focus on increasing his power using his Diablo II system. His curiosity about dungeons increased every day, and he couldn’t wait to vent out his rage on the monsters inside it. seaʀᴄh thё NovelZone.fun website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
When the sun had set, Anton parked their carriage beside the road. He retrieved an enchanted Firebolt lamp from his inventory and activated it.
“Anna, it’s time for dinner,” Anton told his sister upon entering the carriage.
Anna just nodded, and when she saw her brother carrying an enchanted lamp, she dispelled the mage light that she was using to continue memorizing her spells.
“When are we arriving at that magic kingdom?” Anna asked while they were eating.
“Probably the day after tomorrow,” Anton replied, and that was the extent of their conversation that night.
Anton summoned his Clay Golem and his Dire Wolves to guard them while they rested, and when the morning arrived, they continued after breakfast.
This time, Anton flew the carriage near the road and didn’t cast the Cloak of Shadow skills. There were travelers on the road, and since he wanted more information about the Kingdom of Ormunda, he decided to communicate with the travelers.
After a couple of hours, Anton saw a merchant caravan. He controlled the carriage to slowly approach the caravan, and this time, the reaction of the people was the one that he was expecting in a place where there were supposed to be highly populated with wizards. The caravan people looked calm while they waited for Anton’s carriage to approach them, and when their flying carriage was near enough, Anton saw that the caravan had stopped.
“Why did you approach them, Anton?” Anna asked.
“We need more information about Ormunda. I think it would be best if we joined them if they’re going to that kingdom.”
Anton and Anna’s carriage landed near what he thought was the lead carriage because of its appearance, which was more luxurious than the other carriages. When Anna stepped down from inside their carriage, Anton stored their carriage in his inventory. He then saw a portly but gorgeously dressed man stepping outside the luxurious carriage.
“Good afternoon, sir wizard. How may I be of assistance?” the portly man said, but then he was followed by another man who also stepped down from the carriage, and the man was a high-level wizard based on the mana fluctuation that surrounded him.
“Good afternoon, sir. My name is Anton, and this is my sister Anna. We’re both wizards and planning to stay in the kingdom of Ormunda. May I ask if you're heading there, and if you are, can we join you? We’re willing to pay,” Anton told the portly rich man.
“We’re on our way to Ormunda, but why would you want to join us? Is there something wrong with your enchanted flying carriage? If there is, I’m willing to take it off your hands at the market price!” the rich merchant said.
“We wanted to join you because we want more information. It’s our first time going there. My sister planned to join one of the magic schools there, and I’m planning to become an adventurer.”
“Why would you want to waste your potential by being an adventurer? You should copy your sister and join an academy?” The mage who followed the merchant said.
Anton knew that the mage was just concerned about them since the two of them looked really young, and being magically gifted enough to control a flying carriage told them their magical prowess, so he just shrugged and smiled at the mage.
“The carriage that we’re using is just an ordinary carriage. I just controlled it using a spell,” Anton told them.
That sentence caused the merchant and the mage to gasp because no low-level wizard could cast a spell that would control a large enough carriage to carry them over the air. Anton also thought that it was the information that urged the merchant to invite him and his sister to join them on his carriage.
The merchant’s carriage was very large, and there was a beautiful woman, a male teenager the same age as Anna, and a very young girl of about six years old inside.
“My name is Rimande and this is my wife Isolde. The mage that’s following me is my brother-in-law is Oscar and he’s a level five mage! This is my son Donald and my daughter Danielle,” The merchant introduced himself and all the people inside the carriage.
Anton reintroduced himself and Anna and informed everyone that the reason why they wanted to join the merchant caravan was to gather more information about the kingdom. Once they were settled in, the caravan started moving.
“Are you sure you don’t want to sell your flying carriage to me?” Rimande, the merchant, asked again.
“If you really want it, you can purchase it from me. I just bought it for three gold coins,” Anton said with a smile.
Anna remained silent, much like the teenage boy who was staring at her and the little girl who was looking at everyone.
“Are you sure it’s not an enchanted carriage?” the merchant asked again, and Anton simply shrugged.
“It’s a bit hot here. Can I activate one of my enchanted items? It’s a simple one that lowers the temperature in an area,” Anna suddenly said.
The merchant just nodded, looking a little intrigued, but Anton supposed that the Frozen Orb air conditioner shouldn’t cause any surprise since there should be a lot of enchanted items littering a magic kingdom like Ormunda.
