Chapter 25. Chess Spell
Priscilla, Chen Xi and Chi looked at the candle in their hand and looked at the petromax light in Tyler’s hand, they couldn’t help but feel envy.
"Dyamn It even has Soul Calming effect, works against small curses too. This Petromax light is no ordinary lantern—it uses spirit stones as fuel, emits a unique soul-calming effect, and can even detect the presence of ghosts." Priscilla couldn’t help but say.
After Tyler and others finished the Ice Cream Mission. Mana led them to another ghost. Fortunately this time Mana didn’t lead them to some troublesome Ghost. If they reject the task, it won’t turn hostile like that ’Ice Cream’ Ghost.
What they received was a chain request. First Tyler helped the footless Ghost to get some slippers. Then the Ghost cried and gave the slippers back and told them that it didn’t have a foot. It also said to find a Ghost that needs these slippers and give it to them.
Finding Such Ghost was easier with Mana. Because of her they were able to find a Ghost that only had legs. Tyler and others even doubted whether they are legs of the previous ghost. After giving the Ghost the slippers, it wore them and happily danced around its house and then threw an apple to them.
Then with Mana’s help they found a Ghost that is afraid of Apples. It’s Doctor Ghost. Just like the quote ’An Apple a Day keeps the Doctor Away’ this Doctor Ghost doesn’t like the apple literally. The task here is to throw the apple at the Ghost.
Ghost played with them for a while by hiding and flying. But it surrendered when it saw Tyler taking out dozens of apples from his spatial storage. So the Ghost told that the task was completed in exchange for not getting beaten up by Apples. To avoid the onslaught, the doctor ghost offers a low-level pill as a truce.
From there, the chain of bartering continues. Then Tyler and others traded the Pill to another sickly ghost for an even bigger candle. Then the candle was exchanged for a small beetle. Then an insect collecting ghost traded the beatle and his own candle for the Petromax Light.
This Petromax Light uses Spirit stones as fuel. It also has the ability to deduct Ghost. When the light of Petromax shines, the wielder and the others will feel their soul getting a refreshed feeling. It is the Soul Calming Effect. Tyler didn’t know the whole function of the Petromax Light. He needed some time to study it.
Soon they reached a new Ghost. This time thankfully the Ghost didn’t ask for the barter. Instead it asked him to give him Ferry him. One has to know that the Ghosts inside the The Village of Ghosts cannot be ferried. But the Ghost just wanted to have the experience.
"Mana can do it." Mana said suddenly.
