Chapter 137: Chocolate sandwich
Lunch rolled in before anyone could notice, with Coco’s and Rey’s stomach rumbling telling them that they needed a break from playing in the river, Coco called the little boy.
"Come on, Rey! It’s time to take a break!" Coco said, raising her voice and holding her hand out towards him.
"Okay! Wait, let me just take these pebbles!" Rey responded as he sank down on the water and picked up the pebbles under the water.
Coco walked towards him, the water in her legs splashing all over the place as she did so, and leaned down to see the small rocks the little boy had in his arms, shining and twinkling under the sunlight.
"Are those really pebbles?" Coco asked, staring at the shining surfaces with curiosity.
"Well, no, not really." Rey said as he stood up and made his height stand out with the water reaching his hips, "These are the stones used to make low quality magic stones. Can you see the glow of each stone? Look, this one is red."
Coco looked down and squinted her eyes, focusing her gaze on the pebble that Rey lifted.
True to his words, the surface of the small rock glowed slightly and showed that it has a spec of color red in the middle, making Coco gasp in amazement.
It was there, but barely.
