After the four archmages determined the exact level of power that Anton had, the questioning began. It was mostly the sa as what the Archmage Voduria asked before like his na, where he ca from, their experiences during their travel from ndi to Zalnothel, and Anton's plans but of course, he added more details about his upcoming plans like purchasing a shop that would mostly sell enchanted items that he created and that those items were mostly focused on magical convenience like producing cold water, making the temperature in a room comfortable, things like that.
The archmages were surprised that Anton was also a very capable enchanted item maker and Anton and Anders saw that the archmages were comforted by the fact that their family would provide a huge contribution to the city due to his ability to create enchanted items. As a gift, he provided the four archmages of four of the tal sculptures that he purchased from Leminthor but enchanted with the Frozen Orb of Air Conditioner. He explained to the archmages how to activate the enchanted sculpture and the indicator that would show how much mana was left on the mana storage and the durability of the item.
The archmages happily accepted the sculptures and then asked what last na they would use since Anton would receive the title of a Baron. Anton, his father, and Anna spent a long ti thinking of what last na they would use, and since Anders and Anna couldn’t think of anything since they hadn’t even imagined that their family would beco nobles, Anton suggested the na Sunders which ant to cut, part ways or to separate but added the letter S on the last part of the word sunder. Anton intended to preserve a bit of his last na in honor of his dead parents on Earth which was Saunders but Anders and his sister thought that it was because they parted ways with their old lives as farrs.
Anton gave the na Sunders to the archmages and the Archmage Voduria imdiately listed his na as Baron Anton Sunders on so sort of huge notebook, probably magical since it was glowing.
The Archmage Tristan then gave Anton a manual that contained the list of responsibilities and benefits that he would receive as a baron of the city of Zalnothel. He was about to ask why Zalnothel was called a city instead of a country but decided that he would just ask that question to his tutor instead. Anton instead asked the Archmage if he was allowed to show the manual to his father and sister and the man simply said that he was allowed to show it to anyone he liked which surprised him since the butler said that it was forbidden for regular folks to see it but he just ntally shrugged and thanked the archmage.
After that, the archmages stood up and told Anton and Anders that they would need to join the quarterly eting so Anton and his father exited with them, joined their guards, and left the building to go ho.
In the carriage, Anton and Anders observe the plaque that was given to them that contained Anton’s na and his appointnt as a Baron. The plaque was so sort of crystal and it looked beautiful. He then gave the plaque to his father including the manual and told Anders to review the manual and that he would read it later after his father was done with it, or better yet, have soone copy the manual and then give the original back to Anton.
“Are you allowed to do that Sir Anton,” The butler asked.
“Oh yes. We asked the Archmage Tristan and he said that Anton was allowed to give it to his family to read,” Anders answered Ignomus the butler.
“I’ll display this award in my study where everyone can see!” Anders said while admiring the plaque.
When they arrived at the Oak Sage Manor, Anton was surprised at the huge feast that awaited them.
“It’s a celebration for us becoming a noble family!” Anders said to his son.
Upon entering the premises, everyone who was inside waiting for Anton and his father to arrive cheered. Anders dramatically raised the plaque and loudly announced that from then on, Anton was Baron Anton Sunders of Zalnothel and the crowd cheered so more. The dramatic reaction of his father made Anton roll his eyes.
“Am I now a baroness?” Anna asked with glowing eyes, excited at the prospect of becoming a noble.
It was the butler who answered Anna.
“No young Miss. In your family, only Anton is the noble but since your brother is now a baron, you are still part of the gentry and the regular folks would need to call you Miss Anna Sunders. Your brother’s noble title is not an inherited title aning that it can’t be inherited not unless he perford a large enough contribution to the city that the council or the duke awards him of the right for his title to be inherited or even promoted as a higher noble.”
Anna looked disappointed but the excitent returned to her face.
“At least I’m now a part of the gentry!” Anna said.
After that, everyone started eating the feast the new head chef prepared and Anton was impressed by their new chef’s ability.
“Father, Anna, I would still be able to provide mana water for als but for bathing, I recomnd that you build a hot spring for n and won that our family and friends could use once a week. Since the effectivity of mana water would only last for two hours, I will provide the water and it should be used within that ti fra. For everyday use, everyone can use the water that would co out from the enchanted items that I will make.”
The ladies stared at Anders and Anton could his father goosebumps from where he was sitting.
“I will work on that at once,” Anders said mostly to placate the ladies since Anna, Nemina, Lunelle, Ramona, and Belinda were used to receiving the benefits they were getting from bathing using mana water like making their hair more luxurious and silkier, making their skin fair and smooth and making their bodies younger.
Anton saw that the ladies were a bit disappointed for not going to be able to bathe in mana water daily but knew that Anton was incredibly busy and would not have the ti to provide the mana water for their daily use. It was a pity that the magic in the mana water diminished after two hours or else they would save the water so they could use it in their daily lives.
At least, they were still able to use it once a week and they could even hear Anna pestering Anton that it should be more than once a week which they were highly in favor of and hoped that Anton’s sister would be successful.
After lunch, Anton headed to the warehouse since Anders told him that they were able to purchase more broken items so he decided to repair them to avoid the items accumulating which would cause more work for him. Lunelle, Amna, and her maids followed him and they were being followed by the vampire Luminetta as their guard.
Apparently, Lunelle managed to purchase a lot of things and they were excited to see the items once they were fully repaired and looked new since more than likely, they would beco treasures for won.
