Anton made the mistake of belittling people’s desire to beco famous movie stars. All of the won in the group even Nemina suddenly beca very excited and talked about utilizing one of the magic recording items to create their movie.
Surprisingly, even the n beca involved. Frederick, Walter, and Phillip made so suggestions and even Anton’s father made a few comnts.
Anton could have made a lot of suggestions like providing them with so scripts from Earth or just purchasing the scripts that the theater actors from the live play showing on the ship. They could even record the play itself but he decided not to involve himself with the movie-making project that blossod from the minds of his family and friends.
He knew that movie-making was a gargantuan project that could span decades and Anton was busy enough as it was and did not have the ti for other side projects. Even when they asked him for so advice, he straightforwardly told them that he would not involve himself in that project.
“Why don’t you want to get involved? This could make your family a lot of coins?” Antonia asked.
“I have told everyone before that my magic already contained a humungous amount of data when it cos to movies, television shows, and animation. That ant that our family had enough to earn us a lot of coins. I have to warn you though. The world that I got that shows from spent more than one hundred years and thousands upon thousands of people and an unbelievably huge amount of wealth to get to where they currently are in terms of movie-making so before you undertake this project, you have to thoroughly think about it. At most, you can probably do so recording of live theater play but it wouldn’t have the sa quality that my movies have.”
Anton saw Antonia, Lucia, and Walter looking at each other. It seed that they had decided to go ahead with this particular project but Phillip seed to be not so interested. Anton did not care what his friends did. He had already warned them and they knew what they were doing. To be honest, if he had not been a mage with a system to make sure that he was one of the most powerful in the world, he would have been involved in that business as well.
It was fun to think of re-creating Hollywood in this world and knowing that one could beco a part of history in the making, it would make one blood boil. Anton decided to tell them the history of Hollywood sooner or later.
After lunch, Anders, Nemina, Lucas, Devon, and Colin went back to the theater to check out the things there. Unfortunately for Devon, he could not go by himself anymore. Frederick and Anna had to go to where the mages gathered to attend so mage gathering and Anton decided to go with them since he did rember that he thought that he should mingle with other wizards for inspiration on his spell casting and enchantnt making.
The rest of them went sowhere to talk about the prospect of creating movies using a magic recording item.
Anton followed his sister and Frederick towards the location where the mages frequent to. There was supposed to be a public lecture and a general gathering after that and those were the tis that mages could trade spells or magic items or exchange ideas with each other.
At first, Anton wanted to ask questions about the place where the wizards gathered but stayed silent instead since he thought that it should not take long before they arrived there after around twenty minutes of walking, they arrived at a large hall that looked like a comic convention from Earth but instead of well-known anis, the attendees where general wizards and adventurers from ani cosplayers.
The gathering gave off an energetic party vibe and he knew that it was because most of the attendees were young people. He wondered where the old wizards were and was about to ask Anna or Frederick but Anton noticed that they imdiately separated and ignored him.
Anton did not know who to follow at first but he noticed that Anna was headed to a group composed mostly of young won so he decided to follow Frederick.
“Frederick, wait up!”
“Oh, Anton sorry. I forgot about you. Do you want to join
or Anna?”
Anton pointed towards Anna and her group and when Frederick saw the group of girls, the older mage gave a short laugh.
“Sorry about that. Anna and I don’t mingle. I usually hang out with wizards like
who were considered by others as diocre. At least before we arrived here at the ship, I reached level two, or else I would truly be alienated by all of these magic users.”
“I don’t see any older wizards here.”
“Older wizards tend to be archmages and above so you wouldn’t find any here since this gathering is mostly for high wizards and below. I wouldn’t worry too much about that since you’re too young for anyone to assu that you’re an archmage and you don’t act like an archmage.”
“What do you an by that?” Anton asked smilingly since he knew what that ant but he asked Frederick anyway to learn if it was the sa.
“You know, stuck up, thinking that they’re better than everyone else, and supposedly, the younger they are, the more talented and more arrogant. You on the other hand act like a true noble. Anyone looking at you wouldn’t doubt that you’re station is very high but you act like a normal commoner which is understandable given that you’re supposed to be just a farr not too long ago.”
Anton gave a short laugh then they arrived at a group of mages consisting of three n and two won around Frederick’s age. He was amused when Frederick introduced him to his friends as the mage noble who hired him. Frederick then introduced the five mages to him one by one but Anton knew that he wouldn’t be able to rember their nas for now because his attention was stolen by an older wizard who climbed a stage.
“That is High Wizard Tormalin. He’s the one who will give a lecture about the viability of different spells according to spell level. He would introduce the best spells for offense, defense, and utility of different spells from cantrips to spell level three,” Frederick told Anton.
The old High Wizard introduced himself and invited everyone to his lecture but reminded everyone to pay the coin master. Anton was amused to hear that the wizard was asking for paynt and it was a whopping gold coin for each person at that. With the number of mages in that place, the High Wizard would earn a pretty penny but he did not begrudge the man his way of earning coins since wizardry was expensive.
Those who were interested in the lecture began lining up to a couple of wizards who were holding a box that would hold the gold coins and as expected, all of the mages in the hall wanted to listen to the high wizard’s lecture.
Anton was amused to see that Frederick was the one paying for all of his friends. The mage did earn a lot of coins, especially the treasure that they had received from that gang in Zalnothel but he hoped that the mage was not being scamd or anything like that. He knew that he should not doubt the mage since Frederick was an experienced adventurer even before his family hired him as their very first magic tutor.
