Dinner was lively that night since the food served consisted of the Kraken tentacle at which Anton had to admit was still truly delicious to everyone even though they had eaten the dishes that consisted of the at several tis. The fact that the tentacle at was added to various dishes made the rare at truly shine.
Anton was glad that he still had a ton of the at but he still wanted to encounter more of the sea monsters so he could get more of them. The taste was truly divine and the fact that they were keeping the at for themselves aside from the few kilos that he had already given to Harun was making the tentacle at last, which wasn’t a problem since food didn’t spoil inside his inventory. Any other spatial item shared that ability.
Of course, that ant that they didn’t go to the dining hall for dinner that night and ate inside the suite. Before they ate though, Anton told everyone that he wanted to eat while watching a movie and he wanted to select a movie that he hadn’t seen before.
Anton rembered that when he was a child, he loved the animated television show Spiderman but those were the tis when his parents on Earth were still alive and their family, happy. When the movies about Spiderman ca out, he didn’t have the ti or the funds to watch them and when he checked the internet there were several variations of the movies already so he decided to watch the first one starring Tobey Maguire.
Those movies were old but Anton hadn’t seen them as well since money was really tight for their little family and he had this ambition to help his loving parents as soon as possible so he focused on his studies.
“The movie that I’m going to watch is based on the present circumstances of the dinsion or realm where the movies ca from so it’s going to be very different to how we live our lives here in our world so don’t be surprised. I know you’ve seen a few movies before that defy what we know of the world like the Star Trek shows so just keep an open mind, okay? If you have any questions, please keep them until the end of the film since I haven’t seen the movie as well and I want to watch it without having to answer your questions.” Anton announced.
After that, Anton played the first Spiderman movie starring Toby Maguire and he had to admit that Spiderman was still his favorite superhero. Eating while watching a movie brought a different feel to their dinner that night especially when both were superb. The food was delicious and the movie was highly entertaining. After that movie had ended, the questions ca pouring in. Mostly about the regular lives of the people from Earth so Anton had to answer questions about the level of technology and how far apart it was from the technology from the Star Trek show.
Anton had to explain that according to the Star Trek lore, the current era of the dinsion where the movies ca from was two hundred years behind Star Trek but he had to explain that the Star Trek television show isn’t real like Earth. He had to reiterate that the Star Trek franchise ca from the imagination of the artists from Earth and it was only possible to show those imaginations on the screen due to the current technology of the dinsion where the movies and television shows ca from.
“Does that an that our technology and possibly our era is hundreds of years behind that of “Earth”?” Anna asked.
“At first, that was what I thought but that could be wrong. My hypothesis, which could be wrong as well, is that we’re living in parallel beside that dinsion. It was just our world developed differently from theirs because of magic. The most powerful beings in our world would be able to conquer the whole of Earth without any problem, I think, but of course, I’m not sure. They only managed to recently reach their moon through their technology but the most powerful beings in our world could traverse different dinsions according to so of the mages that I talked to.”
“Does that an that I, as a novice mage can defeat several people from “Earth”?“ Anna continued asking.
“Based on what I had seen of that dinsion, you can imagine it as this. Because of the lack of magic in their world and the fact that there were no monsters, just regular animals, in their wild, they developed differently. They did have wars and their wars were fought with weapons made with technology and they are powerful but supposedly, only those with authority can handle those weapons. Of course, it’s different in every country there but if you as a mage were placed in a regular town, you would be more powerful than the regular townsfolks but then if you caused havoc, their authorities would co in bringing so of their weapons and as you’ve seen in the movies, you will not be able to contend with those.”
“If we’re able to go to their realm, we don’t have to disturb their lives! We can just use our magic to earn their currency and buy so of their things. Their clothes, though so of them looked scandalous, looked great!” Lunelle said.
“I will buy so of their technology so I can study them,” Frederick said.
“Maybe soday I’ll be able to open a dinsional gate to that realm but for now, it’s just a dream.”
The talks about the movie and the current technology of Earth continued while so of them cleaned up the suite. While casting his cleaning spell, Anton overheard Norma and Belue talking to Selena. They told her that they were lucky to be able to stay with Anders’s family since they were able to watch unique shows and that made him smile a bit. It was pleasant to hear that people who associate with them enjoy themselves. Even the four rich nobles from New Drennor were almost always with them every day.
The next day, Frederick invited Anton to the wizards’ gathering but he declined. Even though Anton knew that it would be very interesting to attend the gathering since there was a chance that he would be able to see different magical items that were created by the ship’s mages or even the passengers who were wizards and possibly hear unique lectures that could inspire him, he thought that it’s more important that he complete the magic item that he was creating since it’s an item that would make his family and friends safe.
Not only that, once the defensive item was complete, he could go back to leveling up his Paladin. Even though they were now several weeks away from the continent of Rendindura, the nagging feeling that they were not safe from the Undead Coalition remained in Anton. He wondered if there would co a ti when he would truly feel safe in this world.
Even then, there were still hidden assassins on the ship and they were from the Coalition even though they were not undead.
Ever since he arrived in this world, they were always running from danger. “Maybe I developed so sort of PTSD,” Anton thought but then again, everyone had the sa experience as him. He rembered the ti when he naively thought that he would join an organization in Zalnothel so he could fight it out with the undead but then he learned that the power of the coalition was overwhelming so here he was now, still running with his family.
He wondered if the ocean was enough to truly remove themselves from the consideration of the Undead Coalition but then Anton knew that the undead truly wanted this world for themselves based on their action so the best thing that he could do was to continue growing his power.
