Anton and his group left the town of Berluna early the next day. Anna made a comnt that she was glad that they were on the road again since that would allow them to watch the television shows and she missed watching Xena: The Warrior Princess.
“Xena?! You ant that you missed watching Wesley Crusher,” Ramona teased.
“I do not!” Anna shouted.
“Yes, you do! You got a crush on Wesley Crusher!” Belinda joined her twin in teasing Anton’s sister.
Anton laughed when she learned that Anna had a crush on the fictional character Wesley Crusher from the television show Star Trek The Next Generation.
Looking at the other mbers of their group, it seed to Anton that everyone also enjoyed returning to traveling. Especially Devon, Lucas, and his Father since they started roaming around on top of their dire wolves with the excuse that they would need to scout the surrounding area.
Anton also practiced one of his most invaluable skills that he neglected which was using the Raven summoned to scout out the surrounding area. He avoided using it before since possessing one of the Ravens summons and using them as his eyes were disorienting but he knew that he should take the ti to practice the said skill.
He spent the rest of the morning until noon doing so and after several hours, he got used to it a bit that he enjoyed watching the surrounding area using the eyes of the Ravens. Flying by himself was still better though but the Raven was safer since if the summon was attacked and got destroyed, Anton would be fine and he could just summon the Raven again.
During the travel to the coastal city, they noticed that there were more travelers on the road. So were just like them, on the run from the undead but most were just regular travelers who frequently travel between Homura and Whaling for business purposes.
When twilight was upon them, Anders tasked Devon to find a good camping location and Lucas’s son led them to a well-used cozy-looking campsite. This ti, by Anton’s suggestion, they decided not to light a bonfire. They would just scatter the lanterns enchanted by the Fire Bolt enchantnt made by Anton all over the campground to light up the place and they would use the Fire Wall Stove enchanted items to cook their food and heat the place. It would be much more convenient since they could turn off the enchanted items anyti they wanted and watching the television shows in the dark was much better without the glare from the bonfire.
While they were preparing their camp, they were joined by a couple of groups of travelers. One was a rchant caravan from Homura traveling to Whaling and the other was also a rchant caravan but they ca from Whaling and were going to Homura. This made the entire campground a bit noisy and crowded but since they were in a small corner surrounded by three huge Dire Wolves and two Spirit Wolves, the other groups left them alone.
Every one of them knew that that would change soon since Anders allowed them to watch the television shows even if there were other travelers to the delight of the rest of the group. Anton’s father's reasoning was since they were not being pursued specifically by anyone, it was all right if the news that they had sothing unique to entertain their people got out. Anders and Lucas thought that the value of magic that was used to entertain people was so much less compared to magic used as weapons and knew that if the undead who were currently focused on conquering the continent heard about that, they would hardly be interested. At least, that was their speculation.
Soon night arrived and their food was cooked so during dinner, Anton played the Hercules: The Legendary Journeys on the white blanket they were using as the projector screen and he planned to play Xena: Warrior Princess after that. He made sure that the sound was loud enough that they could hear the show and they didn’t even care that the other group of travelers would be disturbed.
After several minutes, Anton had to lower the volu since the other group of travelers in the campground beca silent and was staring at the area where they were camped. It was expected since their show was truly unique and the blanket was huge enough and the sound loud enough that even those further on the campground could see and listen to the show without any issue.
Anton observed the other group of travelers and all of them were staring at the projector screen. He confird that the projector magic alone that allowed him to show movies and television shows to others would probably make them incredibly wealthy anywhere they go and the fact that this type of magic was harmless compared to offensive magic made this spell truly invaluable.
After the episode of Hercules: The Legendary Journey they were watching ended, as customary, Anton stopped for several minutes so everyone could discuss the current episode. As expected, the leaders of the rchant caravan sought them out despite the fact that huge dire wolves and spirit wolves were guarding the periter of their camp. Anton let his father and the others talk to those people since he wasn’t interested in them.
One thing he could say though, it was wise of his Father, Nemina, and Lucas to entertain the rchants so they could seek out news from them of anything important. They confird that Tiande and Zalnothel had fallen and it was good that the leaders of those cities went to other cities instead of Homura since that ant that there would be ti before the Undead Coalition turned their gaze to Homura.
There was a good chance that the undead would attack those cities that the leaders of those cities they conquered fled to.
The rchants also inford them that currently, the coastal city of Whaling was peaceful and the city was the dock city used to travel to so of the other continents. Of course, Anton’s father, Nemina, and Lucas had to share information about the TV series as paynt for the information they gathered from the rchants.
Anders and Nemina were truly cunning since they also used the conversation to gather business information but compared to the true rchants who had been doing their business for decades, Anton decided that his father and Nemina were bested by the rchants. They gave more information than they had received.
Anton lost interest so he inford his father and Nemina that it was ti to watch the next episode of Xena: Warrior Princess. They inford the rchants of what type of show would co next and because the other travelers were also interested, they allowed them to go back to their business of watching the shows.
He then played the next episode of Xena: Warrior Princess and the camp beca quiet again except for the television show. Anton returned to watching the show as well since he hadn’t seen either Hercules or Xena before. He had heard about them and only showed them since they were the result of the specific search that he had done on the internet about shows with dieval settings.
Anton occasionally observed the surrounding area and the other people not only because he wanted to make sure that there was no danger, the dire wolves, spirit wolves, and the ravens could handle that but he still wanted to see the reaction of the other people in the campground regarding the television show.
