After Nan celebrated Vicente's acceptance by waving her arms and smiling in a way that was rare to see Princess Nan smile, the elven elders in that place looked at each other with the same question in mind.
"I'm glad young Vicente is joining our cause, but without wishing to interrupt or be annoying, how exactly are young Vicente and his friends going to turn our current situation into something better? Her Highness seems to trust you a lot. I'd like to know why so that we can trust you too," said the 5-Star elf, naturally curious to understand the truth.
Nan had said earlier that Vicente had helped her a lot on the journey from Light Cay to Amae, but there were many ways to contribute. It didn't necessarily have to do with him being powerful enough to influence things on the island.
Under the right circumstances, even a weak individual could transform the lives of powerful experts. But that wouldn't make them capable of transforming every kind of situation afterwards.
Vicente took the elves' questioning in stride and got straight to the point at his first demand. Getting up from where he was, he summoned his first magical form.
He made seven pentagrams materialize in the air as he raised one of his arms in front of his body. Of these pentagrams, five were indigo and two cyan. But among the indigo ones, three had dense violet lines and symbols.
The elves sitting on the other side of the table stood up as they opened their eyes, seeing a magical configuration that normally only Sorcerers would present!
It had been a long time since a Sorcerer had appeared in Amae and Vicente clearly wasn't one. Even so, his magical configuration was shocking, making those elders shift their questioning gazes, gaining a deeper understanding of the reality in front of them.
This was no normal human from Light Cay, but a monster that only appeared every 100 million magical creatures!
Nan said, "I'll give you some essences of those elements you want when I return to the tribe. But I recommend you do business with the elves and other tribes of Amae. What I'll offer you won't be enough to satisfy your interests."
He nodded at her in agreement, aware that he couldn't expect these local tribes to give him everything to act on and then have him walk away with all the revenues of their riches.
"That's good enough for me for now." He looked at the elves and finished the matter. "Work out how much you're willing to trade and your prices. I'll see how much I can buy after that."
At this point, it seemed that the two groups had reached agreements and were aware enough of each other's journeys for both sides to lower their intentions in dialog and business. So Garnot took his chance and told one of his companions what Vicente was after, telling him the truth; that he came from a lower plane, the Polaris Realm, and was after others like him who had arrived in Anicane.
It didn't take long for this to reach the ears of the strongest elder in the area, causing her to approach Vicente with a question. "You came from Polaris Realm? Is that true?"
The tone of her question contained a relieved impression, that of a person who had just understood the why of something and lost some previous doubts.
Vicente shook his head in the affirmative, liking Garnot's quickness in broaching the subject. "The elves of Polaris Realm were my allies for a short time, but I left the continent with a promise that I would find members of the race who had come to Anicane.
At the time, I didn't know how things worked in Anicane and I promised not only the elves, but several other tribes that I would find their companions in Anicane." He smiled at how foolish his earlier promises had been.
Not even a high-level Grand Magus could make such a broad promise!
Even Sorcerers would find it difficult to track down and visit each of the islands where these individuals who left Polaris Realm for Anicane over the last 1 million years might be!
