Not only that, some of those islands, the passing ships were the only source of items from different lands that they could acquire since they were very far away from continents and the ocean is a truly dangerous place to travel without sufficient magical defenses,” Phillip said.
</p><p> “The islands that were going to stop, is it a tropical island, and how large is it?” Anton asked Phillip while munching on the pastry that Antonia brought.
</p><p> Unfortunately, it’s not. It’s a cold and gray place. It’s a small island full of jagged cliffs and the whole island except the smaller ones surrounding it can be traversed within a day. Even though it’s small, it's relatively wealthy since it does have its own gold mine and was defended by a Supreme Wizard who built a mage castle at the center of the island. As you might guess, the name of that powerful wizard is Norbuna and the island was named after him,” Phillip answered.
</p><p> “The supreme wizard has a lot of apprentices so the island is well-known for its magical trade,” Walter added.
</p><p> The mages in the family were excited when they heard that since that meant that they could browse magical items and spellbooks. Anton decided to create a lot of enchanted items in the week before reaching that island and was planning to sell them to the Norbunans since that would supplement his dwindling personal coins.
</p><p> At first, he thought of selling items on the ship but Anton knew that the spending coins of the passengers was limited.
</p><p> Anton also thought of purchasing a lot of basic items that he would need for item enchantment like sculptures and plain wood and iron. Anders also mentioned that they planned to sell off most of the unsold items remaining in their inventory and Anton’s father and Nemina were glad that the ship would stay on that island for at least three days.
</p><p> After snack time, Lucia suggested that they continue watching shows or movies.
</p><p> “I wanted to walk a bit since I’ve been inside my room for hours. I want to see the ocean so I’ll spend an hour two roaming the ship or watching the ocean first,” Anton told everyone.
</p><p> When his friends asked if he wanted some company, Anton declined so after that he went outside the suite and began roaming around.
</p><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
<div></div>
</div><p> Anton briefly visited Maide and Bailey and even the summoned animals but only spent a few minutes on them then he went directly to the deck that was available for everyone on the ship which was the largest one located in the middle of the Amelia.
</p><p> When he arrived there with the help of some of the passengers and sailors in the corridors, Anton was highly surprised at how large it was. It was also filled with people from all walks of life lounging around and relaxing, breathing the ocean air, and looking at the huge ocean.
</p><p> Anton found a relatively empty railing so he could watch the ocean as well and when he looked down towards the ocean from the railing he was surprised that the deck was well outside the ship and it seemed like it was unprotected meaning that anyone could just jump off the railings and fall into the ocean.
</p><p> “Did anyone jump to kill themselves here?” Anton asked expecting no one to answer since he directed the question to the air but surprisingly the young man beside him answered him.
</p><p> “Yes. About once a week somebody does but a mage is always around to catch those who jump and then they would charge that person a huge amount of coins,” The blonde man who looked like he was part of a group of three people looked young. Their group looked around eighteen years old and above and they looked like average citizens that you would find in any city.
</p><p> “They asked him to pay! What if that person couldn’t afford it? Shouldn’t they receive some sort of counseling?”
</p><p> The moment Anton asked those questions, he felt foolish and naïve and the expression of the two boys and one girl in their group looked at him weirdly then the three laughed which made him blush.
</p><p> “My name is Anton and I’m a mage,” Anton introduced himself to change the subject.
</p><p> When the three people heard that he was a mage they immediately stopped laughing and introduced themselves as well.
</p><p> “I’m Torun and this is Blake and his twin sister Andrea. Our families are small merchants from Ruandelle and our fathers decided to immigrate to New Drennor,” Torun said.
</p><p> Of course, Anton didn’t ask the reason why their families decided to immigrate since everyone’s reason was the same. The Undead Coalition was like a plague that scattered the citizens of Rendindura all over the world.
</p><p> Anton noticed that introducing himself as a mage might be a mistake because the three people suddenly became quiet and possibly intimidated by his status as a wizard.
</p><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
<div></div>
</div><p> “Have you seen The Fellowship of The Ring? I can’t wait for The Two Towers,” Anton said trying to befriend them using movies and it worked.
</p><p> Suddenly, the three young people became highly enthusiastic. They began talking almost non-stop about the movies and that they were very thankful that the cinema tokens were very cheap. They said that they couldn’t afford to watch every day the cinema was open like some of the richer families were doing, they had enough funds to watch the movies once and it had become a family bi-weekly tradition.
</p><p> Torun, Blake, and Andrea looked so vibrant while talking about the films they had seen. Their eyes were shining while talking about how magical the movies were and were glad that they had encountered something like them in their lifetime.
</p><p> “I’m just worried that the movies will only be available on the ship and when we land on the Gale Continent, they will be gone,” Andrea said and she looked really worried which made Anton smile.
</p><p> “You don’t need to worry about that. I’ve heard that the owners of the cinema will build one in New Drennor but the tokens or tickets would probably cost a lot more,” Anton said.
</p><p> “It’s expected. The owners knew that the passengers didn’t have income on the ship and priced their entrance token appropriately,” Torun said and Anton remembered the three young people were children of merchants and they were from Ruandelle which was called a merchant city.
</p><p> “One good news though, the owners of the cinema will hold a cosplay event after the third movie in the movie trilogy has ended,” Anton told the young people.
</p><p> It was a decision that he suddenly came to since it would allow them to spread the fame of the cinema to every passenger, not that they needed to do something like that to spread their fame but a cosplay party was an exciting event in Anton’s opinion.
</p><p> “What’s a Cosplay?” Blake asked while Torun and Andrea listened expectantly.
</p><p> “A Cosplay means that the invited people or the ones who purchased the entrance fee need to wear costumes that would look like one of the characters from the three films. You can wear beautiful and elegant costumes and fake long ears that will make you look like Legolas, Galadriel, Elrond, or Arwen or you could wear hideous masks that will make you look like a Uruk-hai,” Anton told the three people.</p></div>
