60 Truth about the gods eyes ! (1/2)

”No worries! No worries, Madame! I intended to give you this, In return for accepting me as your apprentice! To be honest, days ago, I was just a nobody with no future! Fortunately, I have encountered you and tried my luck to learn skill making! To my surprise... I didn't only learn a rare talent but I also became a part of the crew of the rumored Sword Ship!”

'Phew!' Pedro sighed as he looked like someone who had just answered an interview skillfully.

”Give? To me? Do you even know its value?” Madame Soledad was astounded to Pedro's words. He looked like a kid giving a bar of gold to an elder like it was just candy.

”Seeing how you react... Its value might be way more than what I could imagine! Hence, this... even solidifies my resolve to give this book to you! If it was left to my hands... I can't imagine what tragedies and misfortunes would come after me!”

'Come on! Just take it! I'm starting to run out of words!' He frowned inwardly as he wanted to avoid any further question and answer portion.

”Hmm...” Alivia had a doubted look as Madame Soledad walk towards Pedro.

”Then... Tell me! Is there any item with the same value that you possess?” Madame Soledad's black eyes stared directly to Pedro's eyes as she took the book.

”Uhm... Uhm...”

”Hmm?”

”Uhm... There... There is!” Pedro's mouth seemed to have a life of its own and answered Madame Soledad's question by itself.

”Let me see it!”

'What the heck! Why is my hand moving on its own?! Stop! Stop!' He tried to stop his hands who was moving on its own, to no avail. It grabbed the cylindrical container with the black eyeballs in it.

”...” Madame Soledad was astounded and speechless as if a god was standing right in front of her.

”Oh! My! God!” Alivia was also astounded to the point that her eyes looked like they were about to pop out from their sockets.

”What's the matter? Is it too gory to see a pair of eyeballs for you? Khe!” Kentaro mocked Alivia as he didn't know the true value and power the eyeballs hold.

”You!” Alivia stared daggers to Kentaro. He did not know anything about gods' eye as Madame Soledad's gods' eye was only known by her and Madame Soledad herself.

'Dang! I'm dead! They saw the 'gods' eye'! Dang! Dang! Dang!' Pedro cursed inwardly as he grasps the cylindrical container in his hand.

”I...” He wanted to try to bluff his way out... but... the NPCs in front of him is way too strong for him to mess around and lie. 'I should have not taken the book out!'
