chapter 28:

Suddenly I bright white light escaped the and blinded both Zilon and Rivor and anyone who could have been there.

As the light receded slowly two orbs could be seen leaving the stone and entering the forhead of Zilon.

Sadly none of the two could tell which color was of the scrolls.

The light faded away later on and Zilon received some messages from the system.....the system that he had tried to summon on his own but failed miserable.

For some reason the message appeared and just when he was about to read it Rivor jumped in front of him and started asking him questions.

"Did you see the color of the scrolls,which skill did you get,which grade is it" Rivor asked Zilon a barage of questions.

That moment of distraction was what made Zilon unable to view the message he received.

"Well can't you resummon the panel so that you can read your history" Rivor folded his hands refusing to take the blame.

'what is this a video game' Zilon felt the corner of his mouth twitch.

"No I can't all at will I have to concentrate to summon it,unless there are other methods to do it I just see how I can summon it like you do" Zilon sighed.

"Hmm,I guess your brain is that small" Rivor taunted Zilon.

"Can't blame me tho" Zilon replied back.

The two of them discussed some more before they noticed they can get see clearly.

"Woops,it's really dark,I wish I knew which skill you got and some of stats too,maybe I can teach you how to summon a fireball or something,but alas...." Rivor said as he turned around and walked.

"Wait you can do that,and also how can you see in this darkness" Zilon asked huriedly as he catched up to him from behind.

"Come on now it's not really that dark you know" Rivor replied with smile as he heard Zilon grunt in frustration.

"Well technically I can teach you the basics of sensing energy, attracting towards your part for your body and the likes to give you the effects of a fireball but the way you create it entirely depends on you" Rivor said he closed one of his eyes and lead the way.

"Hmm,I see well I do remember seeing my stats but I can't fully remember what it is" Zilon thought hard.

"Well don't worry about it sometimes that's how it is, usually the system does not allow you to tell others your stats directly,there is method for that" Rivor continued walking.

"Wait it's normal" Zilon was surprised.

Naturally he could actually remember his stats although vividly,so him hearing that was a surprise to him.

" Do you know how to do it" Zilon asked curiously.

"Hah I wish I could I could,those are part of the knowledge you call hidden" Rivor chuckled.

"Then does this necessarily mean that everything have a method here" Zilon asked .

"Well you can put it like that" Rivor replied back.

Finally after a lot of twist the got out of the dark alleyway and entered the streets of the town.

The streets were bright as surprisingly there are street lights planted on different parts of the Town.

"Wow..."Zilon exclaimed with a slight expression on his face.

'and staring at It does not hurt my eyes' Zilon thought.

Looking at the city with ,now it's color was light of blue,which was the color of the street lights.

People moved about freely,some still discussing and laughing while some sitting down on the wooden chairs in the open fields.

Zilon remember passing this area when he went out so he knew he was close to his house.

Looking at the calm atmosphere now with lights ,Zilon was even more surprised as in the afternoon when he passed by it was quite crowded.

"Do you know what they call this lanterns" Rivor suddenly spoke after a long time of silence.

Zilon was quiet,but nodded his head.

"It's used to be called the latern of the moon,there are particular rare magical beasts that have this light,which are extracted from them to create this beautiful sight" Rivor sighed.

"Sadly because of how rare there are it's not quite cheap for even the governors to plant all this around the city" Rivor concluded.

After some minutes of silence with both men enjoying the view.

" Come on let's go I believe we are close to your place" Rivor said suddenly.

Zilon was about to noded when he look at Rivor who was looking at him.

His mouth was slightly wide as he saw what expression he was making.

"Hm?,what wrong" Rivor asked with a confused expression.

Closing his mouth with a smile.

"Oh it's nothing " Zilon said still smiling.

"Hmm, okay then" Rivor turned around and started walking.

"Right..." Zilon follow suite.

...

After a while of walking and even entering houses by mistake,they finally reached his house.

"Is this were you live" Rivor asked calmly,not wanting to make another mistake.

"Yes it is of course " Zilon replied completely sure of it this time.

"Hmm okay then I will be off then" Rivor said

Then he stretched his hands.

" It was nice meeting you Zilon miruba" Rivor smiled as he initiated a hand shake.

Zilon looking slightly surprised, smiled back at him and shook his hand back.

"Yeah it was nice knowing you Rivor Alford" Zilon replied back.

For some reason tho Zilon felt like this and shake had a deeper meaning to it,but he could not place his finger at it though.

Relaxing there grip's on each other hands,Rivor turned around to leave,when suddenly Zilon remember something.

"Oh Rivor wait!....." Zilon yelled as Rivor has gone a considerably distance.

"Hmm?....."

Rivor turned around and was meet with a bag of cash on his hand before he could react he heard footsteps running away.

"This is my token of appreciation for helping me" Zilon yelled back as he ran as fast as he could.

He knew that doing it the normal way will make Rivor reject the money from him,but this way he does have no way but to accept it.

Rivor on the other hand had his mouth slightly widened in surprising as he saw the running figure of Zilon entering the front door and running to enter the house.

He finally looked and could tell that it was gold inside it and ,just from experience he could tell that Zilon shared it half and gave one half to him.

"That brat.....well I might as well give it to the other person in the house" Rivor smiled as Zilon entered the house and he turned around to finally leave putting the bag of gold inside his small portable bag.

Of course when came he sensed another person inside the house that somehow had the same magic aura as Zilon.

He might not be a mage ,since it's usually them who have hight detection towards magic.

'i might not have magic, though I can use some skills,that have low consumption of mana,but I surprisingly was born into a family that have high affinity for mana control sadly I was an exception with high mana control but low mana to become a mage'

Mana Was the term used for energy, although it's one of many forms of energy.

'Zilon might not know but I could tell he has magic in him,he doesn't seem aware of it though so I will get him some books to help him study for that ' Rivor continued walking straight passing by people who were calmly walking around the streets.

'then our fight earlier with those guys wearing hoods, 6 against 1 isn't really fair if you asked me ' Rivor suddenly recalled his fight earlier looking for flaws and weaknesses that lead him to be injured.

'hmm then it came to the part there rushed to kill Zilon.....' Rivor thought hard and even paused his steps to think hard.

'that skill of his his was it a time magic's Rivor could sense when the skill was activated so he could tell that a skill was activated at that moment.

He even saw a red tin like spread around them and he saw how slow the attack became after that.

He had so many questions like what skill it was how did he aquire it and many more, because in the end a skill like that was not a normal grade at all.

'it should even be around rare grade' Rivor sighed and continued.

"Well no Matter the good thing is he is alive,both of us are" he walked ahead entering a dark alleyway and vanishing into the darkness.
