TBE Chapter 89
The journey that afternoon was the usual relaxed atmosphere that the family had been lucky enough to be subjected to the last few days. The wind was warm and had a smell that rejuvenated everyone who breathed it since it passed through the forest filled with life and brought with it the vitality that the world enjoyed only in the seasons of Spring and Summer.
Ezekiel’s favorite season was Autumn, but he couldn’t deny that Summer, which made the foliage glow with...

“Most families, when they traveled, every member would need to complete a chore so their journey would be smooth, and I think that sort of thing builds character. You guys were doing nothing and just kept playing all day. It’s my fault since I do everything myself using magic, but I think I should stop doing that so we can all learn how to do chores manually,” Ezekiel told Robert, Luke, and Simon.
“We study every night!” Robert exclaimed.
“That is ...

During the last few weeks before arriving at Amelia’s next stop, the cinema showed two movies: the live-action film Peter Pan, which was released on Earth in 2003, and the 2013 film Jack and the Giant Slayer, which starred Nicholas Hoult.
Anton hadn’t seen both movies and only selected them because of their setting, which was a fantasy set in a world that had almost the same setting as his current world. He was tired of seeing too much fantasy films and television shows since even t...

Simon killed two boars and one deer. Ezekiel asked if the man specifically chose larger animals and he answered that it was so.
“Can you hunt some fowls next time? I also had some recipes that call for bird meat,” Ezekiel requested while examining the animals Simon brought, and the man nodded.
Ezekiel stored the animals first to be butchered later that night since he intended for them to leave after lunch. The greatest advantage of his inventory, which he ...

Anton and his family enjoyed watching the new television show even though they were only on the second episode. His father commented that each episode had the feel of a movie so it felt like they were watching a series of films instead of a television show. He agreed with his father but then while browsing the internet, he saw that one of his most favorite book series which was the Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan and Brian Sanderson was made into a television show.
He had two minds about...

Anton tried to remember if they had seen movies with repeat actors before but gave up. They had already seen a lot of films and television shows, but even with those, he would still consider his family and friends as newbies when it came to watching movies.
It was just that everyone, including himself, was taken aback when they saw Edward “Ned” Stark, since the actor played a villain that redeemed himself in the Lord of The Rings and the scene of him dying from the arrows of the Uru...

Just like the day before, the whole family camped earlier than usual. After all the chores of settling down were done, they ate some snacks, and then Simon began practicing with his crossbow outside.
Robert and Luke ran off somewhere, probably on the second or third floor, to play with their toys, and Ezekiel began arranging the tools that he would use to craft wooden things.
For a moment, Ezekiel thought of the fact that his brothers just kept on playing and ...

Anton and his friends Torun, Blake, Andrea, and Soren spent the morning running around the ship, exploring its every nook and cranny. They behaved like children instead of young adults. The funny thing was no one dared to scold them because Anton was a well-known powerful archmage whose family owned the cinema. Not only that, but Torun and the others admitted that even when they were in Rendindura, he and the gang seldom were able to just roam around since they almost always had chores to do ...

Anton had only stopped leveling his Amazon character an hour before he joined his family for dinner. He did level up to level forty, and he didn’t rush the process as usual. He took his time making sure that every skill that his body would remember the minute intricacies of every Amazon skill that he used.
At first, Anton thought that once his Amazon’s level was high enough and he could use the skill Lightning Strike, which was the most powerful skill under the Javelin and Spear tre...

The movie that would be shown the next day was a new one on the list of films that Anton, Anders, Nemina, Antonia, Lucia, and Philip created based on Anton’s input regarding each of the film’s synopses. He also showed them the theatrical trailers of each movie that was on the list, and the trailers even prompted Antonia and the others to watch some of the films. Still, he said it would be better if they all watched it together with the audience since they could use the fact that they hadn...

Ezekiel’s experiment regarding showing something delicious to motivate Robert, Luke, and Simon was a success. It cost him 20 copper coins, but he thought that it was worth it. When the lesson concluded, everyone ate the dinner that he had prepared, but he warned the boys to leave a space in their stomach for the donuts but everyone still ate a lot.
After their meal, the four of them joyfully ate the donuts, but Ezekiel allowed everyone to be active so the meal wou...

Anton spent the rest of Wednesday afternoon leveling up his Amazon and nothing else. He skipped practicing his Diablo II spells and had been holding off on making enchanted items. He decided that for the next few days, he would focus on just leveling up his last character because he was extremely curious about what would happen to his Diablo II system the moment he reached his Amazon’s maximum level.
He had been forming a lot of theories. The first one was that other Diablo games or e...

Their shenanigans that night lasted for hours, and since they were just enjoying themselves looking at the mithril armor set that everyone was now treating as a costume, the girls started thinking about which movie character they would wear on the Cosplay event.
The girls even persuaded Antonia and Lucia to include all the movies that all the passengers had already seen and they didn’t care about the citizens of the place that the ship was going to stop over in less than two months.

Ezekiel asked Simon to find a campsite for them where he could conjure their “magic houses” even though it was only around four in the afternoon. He wanted their pretend guardian to have the time to practice the crossbow that he was lending the man.
Simon found a nice clearing for them near the road but still hidden among the trees. The moment Ezekiel cast the three-story Galder’s Tower and the one-story one that they were using as Prince Charming’s stable, ...

Ezekiel planned to increase the lesson to two hours but before the first hour was done, his two brothers and Simon were nodding off. That meant that it was a mistake for them to do the lessons after their dinner.

Anton enjoyed dinner that night since it achieved what he had requested from his father. That it was supposed to be time for the family, and during that time, they were only talking about topics related to the family, and he felt that it was making everyone closer to each other.
Looking at his father, who had a big smile and a look of joyous contentment, made Anton happy. He wished that he had been able to do the same with his parents on Earth before they passed.

All of the women, including Antonia and Lucia, went to Anna to examine the effect of the Fire Amulet, specifically the option that it provided, which was the plus three to Light Radius.
“Can we turn off the lights to check the effect in a dark location?” Lucia asked, and with Anders's permission, Colin turned off all the lights in the suite.
Anna kept the room bright, though. The light did not come from her, per se. It was just normally bright where she was located, like there...

As planned, Ezekiel bypassed Erathon with the help of Simon, who was guiding them towards the road less used. It was a pity since Erathon was the first large town that they had encountered, and it would have been nice to explore it, but because of the situation with the noble family that was captured by the bandits and with Simon himself joining the said bandits and was a runaway serf, they had no choice but to avoid the said town.
The travel was leisurely, but this...

Anton examined the second magic item from the first chest that the blue whales and pink dolphins had given him. It was a tiara, not a simple one, but an elaborate lace-like tiara that only women could wear. That meant that even if the options of the tiara were phenomenal, Anton might not be able to wear the accessory.
When he stored the tiara in his inventory, his Diablo II system identified it as Dremonda’s Tiara of Protection. Its options were still for low-level wizards, in Anton...

When he suggested to everyone that they could open the second and third chests so they could look at them, Anna said to him that they were not done yet. Based on everyone’s reactions, including his father, they agreed with his sister.
So, without anything to do, Anton joined in on the fun and inspected the gorgeous treasure pieces that came out of the chest. He did not know the h...

After his friends were out of sight, he flew towards the Amelia in the distance. When he arrived there, he almost laughed out loud when he saw his sister and his friends' worried faces.
“You’re so stupid! I thought the ship left you behind and that you would not be able to catch up!” Anna shouted at him.

Simon said that since Ezekiel commanded him to bypass the town of Erathon, the road that they would be using to continue traveling would be the less used one, and it would add days to their travel on the way to the next village.

He was most impressed by them, and even if the mages had been charged double what they were currently charging, Anton would have gladly paid them.

Ezekiel observed the bandits who were celebrating their victory over the family they killed. He hated them for having no pity and for the way they violated the women in that family. Those poor women made him extremely melancholy and angry at the same time which was a peculiar mix of emotions that he had encountered for the first time.
He waited for a bit until all of the bandits were inebriated before commanding the ten butcher knives that were awakened by the Tiny ...
