Chapter 369

  The next day was hectic for Anton’s father, Nemina, Antonia, and Lucia since it would be the day that the official announcement for the Cospy event would be held. Even though rumors about the event had already spread amongst the fans of the Lord of The Rings trilogy on the ship, there was no confirmation from the owners of the cinema but that day, Anton’s family and friends would finally release the flyers they had prepared for the event.

  The brochure would inform everyone that the event would be held on the isnds of Norbuna where Antonia’s family owned a warehouse that they would convert to a convention ssh party hall the day after the Amelia arrived on the isnd. The ship should arrive in Norbuna in about three weeks and that was plenty of time for those who would purchase the ticket to prepare their costumes.

  After breakfast, they briskly went on their way to work on their business that day. Anton was holding onto one of the flyers or leaflets that Antonia and Lucia had made. The flyer was particurly gorgeous since it looked like an artist's drawing of one of the posters made to advertise The Fellowship of The Rings film. The fact that there were tens of them probably made the artist exhaust himself since Anton thought that the flyers were probably made by hand.

  The flyers would inform everyone that The Lord of The Rings Cospy event was a three-day event and since the ship would stop on Norbuna for a total of five days, it was enough for the whole convention to be held on the isnds. The price for the ticket was written on the flyer and Anton was surprised at how costly it was. He thought that just like his family, Antonia would price the ticket for the Cospy event lower since the passengers did not have incoming coins but Anton just shrugged since it was their decision and they probably had a good reason why the tickets were priced that way.

  The flyer also listed different competitions and some of the prizes that the winners would receive. Aside from gold coins, some magic items would be included and even Anton’s newly created Magic Belt was one of the prices. Some of his magic items were listed as prices as well like the tablet of air conditioner, the cup that produces water, the Ice Bolt wand, and more. Some magic items were listed as prices as well that Anton didn’t recognize and they probably were from Antonia and Lucia’s collections.

  The competitions that were listed were best female costumes, best male costumes, and even best children's costumes. There were also specific ones like the best elven costumes, the best wizard costumes, the best dwarven costumes, the best Hobbits costumes, the best Uruk-hai costumes, and more. After reading the prices that would be given, Anton understood why the ticket price was so expensive.

  When they arrived in the suite, the dies, instead of practicing their magic talked about the costumes they would make for the cospy event. Thankfully, Anna and Lunelle would make Anton’s costumes and he didn’t even have to be measured since they would base the size on one of his clothes.

  Surprisingly, even Walter and Frederick joined in on the fun based on what Anton heard while he was inside his room leveling up his Padin character. He was leveling up his character using the on-screen option instead of in virtual mode since the day was extremely busy and Anton thought that his family and friends would be forced to disturb him that day sooner or ter and he was correct.

  At around ten in the morning, Anna barged in on his room and told Anton that they would be bringing the rest of the wolves with them since they pnned to go shopping for materials that they would use for their costumes. Everyone was excited and Anton decided to go with them since he too was infected by the liveliness of everyone in the group.

  They went to the bazaar where they had been before where Anton purchased his watch that resembled the ones from Full Metal Alchemist. There, the girls busied themselves purchasing all the things they would need to create their costumes. Anton learned that the girls would create a Celeborn costume for him but that meant that he had to wear a long blonde hair wig. Walter wanted to wear a Legos costume even though Anton mentioned that there would probably be hundreds of Legos that would attend the event.

  Curiously, Frederick wanted to wear an Uruk-hai costume which surprised everyone since everyone thought that the mage would either choose an elven costume or a wizard costume. Unfortunately, if the moviegoers wanted to select the wizard costume, they would have to choose either Gandalf or Saruman since the rules indicated that only the characters that were seen in the Lord of The Rings trilogy could be selected.

  The dies kept changing their minds on which character they wanted to portray while they were selecting the materials they wanted to purchase and Anton knew that it would probably take them the whole day, possibly several days before they finalized their decision.

  Anton got tired of shopping so he told everyone that he would return to the suite to practice his magic. The wolves were following the group but they had been a common sight already since Anders and the others were followed by the wolves and the Cy Golem every day as well. The Dire Bear was too big to bring anywhere so it always remained in the suite.

  Before he left for the suite, Anton found a pce where he could eat lunch and after he was done, he returned to his room immediately to continue leveling up his Padin character.

  While busy leveling up, Anton briefly wondered if the assassins would make their move while they were in the isnds of Norbuna.

  Anton exited his Diablo II system at around four in the afternoon and was surprised to notice that the dies were still not back yet from their shopping spree. He thought of going outside the suite to roam around but decided to just continue leveling up his Padin. As of that moment, his Padin was level eighty-nine and it wouldn’t take long till he reached the maximum level. Once his character was in the mid-nineties, he would then spend time hunting the best gear for the Padin and that would take quite some time.

  He was about to enter his Diablo II system again when he heard a knock on his door. When he opened it, he was surprised to see that it was Torun, Bke, Andrea, and Soren without his gang. Anton invited the four inside the suite but when they entered, they were startled to see the huge Dire Bear. When Anton told them it was one of his most powerful summoned creatures, the four rushed to the Dire Bear and fearlessly examined the animal closely.

  Anton guessed that living with the summoned Spirit Wolf and seeing the Dire Wolves every day since they mostly followed his father and the others whenever they were out made them realize that there was nothing to fear if the creature was a summoned being.

  Just like Anna, Andrea even boldly climbed on top of the Dire Bear and treated it as some sort of comfortable bed. The boys examined the bear’s cws and their faces were full of amazement and a touch of fear at how rge the Dire Bear’s natural weapon was. Anton even boasted about the different skills that the Dire Bear had and that it could contend with small armies.

  “Are you also selling a summoning tablet of Dire Bear?” Soren asked.

  “No, since I haven’t found any materials that can hold the spell structure of the Dire Bear. I’m sure that once we reach New Drennor, there will be some there but according to one of my friends, the cost would be gargantuan,” Anton replied.
