Anton, to be honest, was a bit relieved when he encountered the citizens of the Isnds of Norbuna since, based on what the others had been telling him that the people of the isnds were descendants of mages, he thought that the majority of the popution would be mages but based on his observation so far, it was mostly the same as any other city in Rendindura.

  He was a bit apprehensive about encountering a pce where everyone would be mages because, based on the novels and animes he had seen, locations like that tend to have very prideful citizens who would be very hard to get along with.

  Chief Ambrose, who was the leader of the police officers of this region of the isnds, Anton assumed, was amiable enough even though he was already a high wizard at a young age, but that just could be because Anton was an archmage himself.

  While they were walking, Anton wondered if Ambrose was the true leader of the police stations of this region or even if they were called police since based on the television shows that he had seen, the Chief was the top leader in any police branch.

  Ambrose had been telling them about the isnds, like where they could go to go sightseeing or the best shops they could go to purchase magic items, things like that.

  “Thanks so much for that information, sir,” Anna said, memorizing all the things that Ambrose said since Anna still had pns to shop around.

  When they arrived at the entrance of the hotel, the sun had set. Chief Ambrose declined Anton’s invitation to enter the hotel with them so he could join them for dinner, but the man looked at Anton expectantly. He then thought quickly about what the man was expecting, and he thought of a possibility.

  “Don’t worry, Chief Ambrose. I wouldn’t pursue this issue, so rest assured.”

  Ambrose looked relieved and thanked them again; then, the man left to return to their headquarters. Anna ran inside the hotel ahead of Anton, so he followed his sister, who headed directly to the restaurant. There they found everyone, including Antonia, Lucia, and Philip. The restaurant was also full of people from the ship, and he briefly wondered where Torun and the others were staying.

  Everyone was talking about the happenings that day while they were waiting for dinner, but Anna stole everyone’s attention when she started talking in a very loud voice about her battle with the would-be robbers.

  While she was in the middle of giving blow-by-blow details of her triumphant battle, Anton’s father looked questioningly at him, and Anton just shrugged, but he knew that his father would probably talk to him about Anna’s situation ter.

  Anna looked so proud of herself, especially when the girls, including Selena and her two friends, kept admiring her actions. Ramona and Belinda kept exciming that they would probably be too scared to take any action, while Frederick told them that what happened with Anna was one of the reasons why it was important for them to rank up as soon as possible.

  “We’ve seen several battles already, so I’m sure you’ll be able to take action when you’re in my pce,” Anna comforted the girls, and she even included Lunelle.

  Anton agreed with his sister, though. Everyone had seen several battles, and he was quite sure that every member of his family would be able to take action when they were pced in a desperate situation. At least now, with them learning magic, they could help with battles that Anton was sure would take pce in the future.

  “I’m very proud that both of my children are now very powerful,” Anders said, and Anna looked even more smug.

  Soon, their dinner arrived, and the topic of their conversation shifted to the Cospy event that would start the next day.

  Antonia told Anton that everything was on schedule, with a comment from Devon that it was the result of the overwhelming power of coins.

  “Where are the other passengers staying?” Anton asked.

  “There are several inns on different streets, and all of them are full right now because of the passengers. According to what I’ve heard, because of the tales, the passengers were spreading about the movie trilogy, some of the locals are pnning to attend the event even though they had no idea what the Cospy Event is all about, so we decided to run a cinema on the warehouse next door that will show the three movies simultaneously during the Cospy Event. Of course, the tickets for the movies are going to be very pricey,” Lucia said.

  “The main Cospy Event will be on the third day, so you, those who aren’t interested, don’t have to attend tomorrow or the day after tomorrow,” Antonia said, but by the look on everyone’s faces, everyone would probably show up in the party at least for some time, and even Anton pnned to do so.

  At the very least, Anton had to be there during the opening since he had invited some of his friends to attend the event free of charge, and he didn’t want them to encounter any issues at the front door.

  “The party tomorrow would start at ten in the morning. Lunch would be served by the event coordinators, but those who wanted to eat would have to pay for them since the food was prepared by the chefs from the restaurants on the ship,” Lucia added.

  “Some of the shops that are running on the ship also noted which products would sell, and they had prepared them like ready-made costumes from the movies. They were ecstatic when they learned that the movies would be shown to the locals since that meant that the products they would sell, which you call “Cospy Merch,” would probably all be sold off,” Nemina said.

  “That’s one of the reasons why the whole ship is on board with our event since everyone would probably earn a ton of coins from the locals,” Philip said while eating some of the delicious food that the hotel prepared for them.

  Anton had to admit that the food was top-css, but he understood that the hotel was the best in this area, and with how much they were charging, he expected nothing else.

  “I brought your costume inside your room,” Anders told his son, and Anton thanked his father.

  Anton then overheard the dies talking about activating the magic defensive items that Anton created because the effects of the aura would magnify the magnificence of their costumes. Anna then commented that their entering together while their items were activated would cause a commotion and envy with the others, and that brought a gleeful expression to all the dies, including Selena and her two friends, Norma and Belue.

  After dinner, Anton was surprised that Antonia, Lucia, his father, and the others were still pnning to return to the Cospy Party location for what they called the “finishing touches.” They wanted to make sure that there would be no problem the next day. Anders also wanted to make sure that the cinema for the locals would run tomorrow without issues. Anton decided to join his family since he wanted to make sure that he would be with everyone in case something unexpected happened.

  He didn’t forget that the assassin group from the Undead Coalition was still lurking, and they had been lying low. Anton still had a suspicion that they might take action while they were all in Norbuna.
