Chapter 30: Answers

We again ventured into the market to search for the solution to our problems. I spotted the monocle wielding man who had introduced us to magic who had his stall set up. I looked at Emi in surprise and pointed. She widened her eyes and we made our way to Angil.

“Angil what are you doing here?” I asked rather confused at why he was selling knickknacks again.

“It is good to see you anyway Angil.” Emi said

“Thanks Emi, I love selling little bits and bobs to people. What can I do for you today?”

If there was anyone who could solve our problem about finding a way for Foxy to see then it would be him.

“We’ve got a small problem, “ I explained, “We’re partying and we have this quest where we need to go into a very dark cave and have our hands free. Do you have anything that can light up a cave for us to see our surroundings?”

Angil chuckled, “I remember my own days adventuring it was so much fun. Discovering new things, risking life and limb for the treasure chest at the end that may or may not be there. Lots of fun. Do you need something for all of you?”

“No Emi and I are covered, we discovered this way of only forcing our eyes into the other world.”

“Wow that’s very interesting, can you show me I’d love to know.”

“If you give us a discount on this purchase then I’d by happy to.” I thought shrewdly he had something we wanted and we had something he wanted it could give us a good price.

“Haha always the businessman I see Clover. Sure why not if you show me what you did then I’d be happy to give a discount.”

“Alright then it’s a deal!” We shook hands, I was rather proud of myself for actually managing to bargain as in my previous life I had been rather bad at confrontation. And here in in this life doing just that. How times have changed…

“Alright then show me what you’ve got.”

I concentrated and tried to remember how I did it before. It was forcing energy into my eyes and willing them to see the other side. Being able to see what is in front of me and what is invisible. I felt the familiar warm glow and my eyes were able to see a sudden bright light that was in front of me. Angil was glowing with so much energy that I was blinded I covered my eyes and when I reopened them it had disappeared. Was it my imagination or did he have the biggest supply of energy I had seen in anything yet?

“That’s a useful ability you have there,” Angil winked and said cheerily, “How do you do it?”

“Th-that amount of-“ I tried to say something but I saw Angil motion to be quiet.

“Why don’t we continue this inside? Would it be okay if I talk to Angil alone?”

Emi and Foxy nodded rather perplexed but allowed it all the same. I followed Angil inside to his shop and he closed the door.

“I was surprised you were able to see that.”

So it was true, you do have a large amount of energy inside you I probed for answer, “It was another life and another time where that amount was needed. How were you able to do that? I had hidden that I had that amount of energy from the normal user.”

“I don’t know… I guess I forced more energy into my eyes this time than I did previously, out of luck more than anything else…”

“Ah luck, what an apt stat you have there for your name.”

“What?? How did you know?” I was surprised he knew about my luck stat.

“I had a quick peek at your other stats while I was changing your status tag. I guess that’s why you were asking about luck…”

“Why do you have so much energy? What do you actually know about my luck stat? Who are you actually?”

“Haha so many questions again. You are an inquisitive one Clover. For the first question I stored it up, bit by bit building it for the time when I needed it. I guess it never came but I still do it. Just that luck influences a great many things, follow your instinct is my best advice, even if something may seem wrong or going the wrong way trust your instincts. That’s all I can say. As to the last question I am just a disciple of my master.”

“Who is your master?” I tried probingly to get to the bottom of it.

“A good question again I don’t know all I know is that he was a special man. Anyway lets go back on topic, how you were able to see my energy was forcing energy into your eyes?”

“Yes that is correct.”

“Did you say any incantation or anything?”

“No nothing at all…”

“That’s weird usually for most spells some sort of speech is required to activate it…Then how did you do it, it can’t have been just sending energy into your eyes?”

“All I can say that it was a feeling, perhaps belief is a better word.”

“So you believed you could do it and it happened?” Angil widened his eyes in astonishment or disbelief. His monocle fell down as his eyes widened. I saw a glimpse of a golden eye behind the monocle. He immediately put it back and the eye returned to normal. He was definitely not a normal person.

“Anyway…” Angil continued, “Keep this fact try too yourself about me. It has taken a long time for me to escape the chains of my past life.”

“Alright but give me a good price on whatever you sell me that will help me in my small problem.”

“Haha no need for a good price, I’ll give you this crystal I fashioned it should help you out. All you need to do is put energy into it and it will light up. That should solve your problem. Come to me again when you finish this question I’ve got something to talk to you about. You can bring Emi too next time.” He gave a yellow crystal to me that was around the size of an egg and a little holder for it so that it could be attached to the hip.

We walked back outside and he said, “Good luck on your quest.” As he waved our group off.

I could tell Emi was bursting to know what we had talked about but she sensed this wasn’t the time to ask about it. So she opted to not ask.
