Anton was about to leave when he thought of something else. Since he had been repairing a lot of things using Charsi inside the game, he wondered if there was also the same spell that could repair things.
“Is there also a spell that could repair things and can you tell me how it works?” Anton asked the salesman.
“There is a second-level spell called Repair Object but the spell is very limited. It can easily repair everyday things like a chair or a table but a product that was created by an artisan would usually fail to be repaired by the spell like a sword created by a blacksmith or a gown created by a master tailor. Not only that, the spell required materials that were close to what was being repaired since it would use the nearby materials to supplement the missing items. For example, a chair would require the caster to have some wood and iron nearby to supplement the missing materials of the chairs. A wizard capable of casting second-level spells usually would not bother. I heard of legends of Grand Repair spells but I haven’t seen that in all my years here,” The salesman said.
When Anton heard what the salesman said about the repair spell, he knew that it couldn’t compare to what Charsi could do. The Diablo II NPC could even repair a whole carriage as well as recharge magical artifacts so he knew that he would still be using Charsi to repair things. He was curious about the repair spell though so he wanted to purchase it so he could compare it to his Charsi repair spell.
“How much is your Repair spell?”
“It’s fifteen gold coins.”
Since it was still within his budget, Anton decided to purchase it which made the salesman truly happy and he concluded that the man might be working on commission.
Anton paid the salesman when he received the spellbook and asked him to lead him to his sister. The salesman led him to where Anna and her maids were sitting together with a saleslady. He heard the lady explaining different types of cantrips and first-level spells to his sister and he got worried that she might be scammed.
“Ms. Adelaide, this is my brother. He is an archmage according to the archmage Voduria!” Anna introduced Anton to the saleslady.
The employees of the magic store gasped when they heard what Anna had said but since they never told Anna to keep it to herself, Anton couldn’t fault her. The position of the archmage was something that anyone would be proud of and to be honest about it, no one in their group felt the need to hide it. As a matter of fact, it would be best that a lot of people learned it so they wouldn’t have any design to his family’s wealth.
Anton was glad to hear that the saleslady wasn’t scamming Anna and that the maids were very vigilant. He forgot that the twins were very experienced and would probably recognize people who had malicious intentions towards their mistress because of their experiences in Leminthor.
Two of the guards were also with his sister and her maids. The other one was following him and there was another one following Frederick so he knew that the salespeople needed to be mindful of what they and they shouldn’t do.
“How many spellbooks are you planning to buy?” Anton asked his sister when he saw that the saleslady continued informing her about the different cantrips and first-level books.
“Father also gave me a hundred gold coins and I planned to spend it all. I need to make sure that my grimoire is full of spells,” Anna replied.
Since Anton’s sister looked like she would be busy for a few more minutes, he decided to study the four spellbooks that he purchased. When he memorized the first-level spell Clean Object, Frederick joined them and when the mage saw that Anna was still browsing, he did the same thing and studied the spellbook that he purchased.
After thirty minutes, Anton managed to memorize the four spellbooks so the only thing he would need to do was to scribe them onto his grimoire so he could memorize them anytime he wanted.
When he looked up, he saw that Anna had six spellbooks in front of her but it looked like she wasn’t done yet.
“Enough! It’s getting late. Let’s return and you can go back here some other time,” Anton told his sister.
Anna pouted but paid the saleslady. After that, they all went back to the inn. The sun was already setting so when they arrived at the inn, Colin who was waiting for them led them to the inn’s restaurant where the others were seated.
Anton didn’t notice that several hours had passed and that it was time for dinner. While they were eating, Anna kept telling everyone the spells that she purchased that she would be busy practicing her magic during the next few days so she could begin memorizing the spells that she bought.
To Anton’s amusement, Anders had a look of obvious relief on his face since his father didn’t have to worry about his daughter gallivanting all over the city.
“Frederick, I know I gave you all three days to rest but can you start searching for a manor starting tomorrow, one of the high wizard Lurien’s men will assist you. You can do it in the morning and the rest of the day is yours,” Anders told the mage.
Frederick said that he would do so and would make sure to find the best place. Anton was a bit relieved since they really needed to find a home base so he could focus on leveling up and doing some item enchantments and also begin exploring this huge city. He wanted to check out what he could do in this place.
After dinner, Anton took a bath after providing mana water to his family and friends. Then he cast The second-level spell Clean Small Area to the bathroom. He also cast Clean Large Area to his room so it would be clean and was a bit impressed at how clean the bathroom and his bedroom were.
Based on his wizardry talent, he instinctively knew how many spells he could memorize and that he could assign those “slots” to a single spell so he decided to assign the Clean spells to all the slots available.
The good thing about assigning a single spell to all the slots available in his mind, he didn’t need to memorize the spell again, not until all the slots were used up. Before he assigned the spell though, he experimented with the Repair spell and the salesman was correct. It wasn’t a good spell but he still planned to assign a couple of spell slots to the Repair spell.
After subscribing the spells to his grimoire he assigned the Clean and Repair spells to the slots and there were a lot of them. Unfortunately, there were still no slots available for fourth-level spells since he had not memorized any yet and it would only open once he had memorized upper-level spells.
Before he did that though, he would try to find a spell that he was interested in but more than likely, Anton would choose a lifestyle spell or support spell since he already had powerful offensive spells from his Diablo II system.
