Anton wanted to go to the Patrons Bar at first, but there was a chance that the attackers might involve the regular passengers, so he changed his plan and decided to go to the deck exclusive for their hallway, which was mostly for the very rich, which meant that there wouldn’t be anyone there due to the time, he assumed.
He made sure to stroll, giving anyone monitoring the hallways a chance to see him. Anton was hoping that he didn’t need to do this for several nights since he wanted to resolve this issue as soon as possible.
When he arrived at the deck, there were a couple of guards standing by. Anton entered it and as expected there was no one there. He looked at the ocean and it was truly dark provoking fearful images to those who were susceptible enough or had some sort of phobia of huge dark places. Anton could imagine humongous behemoths lurking underneath the ocean or some kind of army of swimming monsters but even if he indulged himself in imagining those kinds of things he kept his awareness in his surroundings.
Anton waited for a couple of hours but nothing happened. He speculated that he was very obvious in his actions that was why no one attacked him. He felt disappointed since he really wanted to capture some of the enemies so they would finally know who the attackers were.
After waiting for another hour, Anton sighed and decided to roam around somewhere else. He decided to visit Maide and Bailey where they were corralled. When he arrived there, the person who was looking after the animals was a little surprised but not too much since it wasn’t rare. Some of the rich passengers who brought their favorite animals like their horses or their hounds often visited and sometimes those people didn’t care what time it was.
When Maide and Bailey saw him, they were glad to show Anton their affection and of course, he rewarded them by providing mana water to the two horses. He also added the two horses briefly to his party system and activated his auras to make sure that their family animals were not suffering from any underlying diseases.
“What are you feeding them, Sir?” A young man asked. That person was one of the people who were looking after the animals.
“It’s magical water that will keep my horses healthy,” Anton answered.
“Is that the reason why they’re so intelligent?” The young man asked and Anton simply nodded.
“Can you also provide them to the other animals? I just wanted to make sure that everyone is as healthy as they could be,” The young man shamelessly asked.
Anton wondered why the ship’s stableman or whatever he was called was courageous enough to ask a mage for something like mana water that he produced but looking at the youth’s face who was hardly older than himself, he knew that the young man’s affection for all the animals probably brought him the courage to do so and coupled with Anton’s young looking face, he found his courage to ask.
Anton simply nodded and went around the place to give all the animals there which were a combination of horses, large dogs, donkeys, and even cows mana water. According to the one handling them, all the animals that were placed here were considered pets and not food so even some of the pigs that Anton saw were not food but actual pets. It took him an hour to provide all the animals there some mana water for them to drink and since he was going around, he decided to add each one of them, seven animals at a time while his auras were active so he could heal them and based on his mana’s reaction, some of the animals were sick.

The stableman saw what he was doing and when he asked, Anton simply told the man that he was healing the animals and the man looked very grateful and was almost on the verge of crying. Anton knew that the man was one of those who probably cared for animals more than people but of course, that was just his guess and he might be wrong.
After he was done with the place, he continued roaming around. At first, he thought of visiting some of the attractions on the ship that was supposed to be open all day but then his reasoning of not affecting regular passengers in case he was attacked stopped him.
Anton decided to return to the suite and thought of doing the same thing the next night. When he entered the suite, he saw that his father was waiting.
“Why are you still up?” Anton asked.
“I was worried,” Anders simply answered.
“Well, nothing happened. At first, I thought that maybe the attackers only attacked once a night and since they already attacked Devon and the others, they probably stopped but they did kill two families in one night before. I plan to do this again later tonight,” Anton told his father and Anders nodded and returned to his room.
He saw that his sister was up looking at him through her door in the room that she shared with Lunelle and when Anton looked around, noticed that everyone was awake. He was touched that his family and friends were worried about him but when he waved at him, they all went back to sleeping.
Anton went inside his room and slept. The next day, they all went to the dining hall to partake in the breakfast buffet and thankfully everything was business as usual. While they were eating, Anders announced that they would open the cinema that day since they couldn’t behave in fear all the time. There was also no attack last night so everyone was beginning to calm down but to Anton, it just felt like the calm before the storm.
After breakfast, they all return to the suite. Anders, Nemina, Lucas, Devon, and Colin would go to the cinema to re-open it and they would be guarded by three Dire Wolves, two Spirit Wolves, and three Ravens that Anton had summoned.
The rest would remain in the suite to guard everyone else together with the Dire Bear. Selena, Belue, and Norma insisted on going with Anders so Anton allowed them to come. Anton asked his father if they wanted to bring the Clay Golem with them and surprisingly, his father agreed.
“It’s a deterrent to any attackers and also a good form of advertisement for the power of our family so no one would think of anything nefarious to our cinema,” Anders said.
Anton immediately summoned the Clay Golem and commanded it to follow his father’s command. He was glad that the cinema was near enough their suite so that all of the summoned creatures could follow his father without any problem and was thankful that the area of effect of the summon, meaning the area in which they could function away from Anton was extremely large.
Antonia, Lucia, and Phillip planned to go somewhere else and they weren’t worried since as rich nobles and with Antonia being the niece of the owner of the Amelia, they were guarded by very powerful wizards.
The rest remained in the suite to practice their magic so after that, their day began. Anton went to his room to level up his Paladin. He still chose to play the game using the on-screen option since he wanted to be a little aware of the surroundings in case something happened.
That meant that he couldn’t continue his project of creating the Frozen Armor enchanted item since he could only do that while he was inside the game and he couldn’t practice enchantment outside the game since there were instances when explosions happened. He didn’t want to damage the ship.
