Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 177 Slip



Vincent found his work quite interesting.

The items that he had appraised weren\'t something that he had seen in the Tudor Kingdom. So this had actually helped him to familiarize himself with the living condition or fighting prowess of the people on this continent.

From the items traded by the Red Alliance, Vincent realized that most of them were natural objects like magic stones and crystals.

[ Blaze Energy Stone ]

[ Quality: Uncommon

Number of Enhancements: 0/10

Durability: 8/8

Fire: 20

Description: A special stone that can increase the Fire Attribute of any suitable Magic Artifact. Depending on the targeted Artifacts, it can either strengthen or weaken their fire resistance or fire ability. This stone contains important nutrients that Magic Beasts needed.

Remarks: Fire Attribute found. Every enhancement will increase the attributes of the item. ]

This stone would come in a batch of ten and would be considered as a single item.

There are also others like Frost Energy Stone and Lightning Stones. From this, Vincent can guess that there are mines of elemental stones in the Red Alliance\'s land.

He also learned that these items were being used for crafting weapons and magic equipment so they needed to do a detailed appraisal of each of them.

Of course, these are just average stones and do not need a high-level appraiser to appraise them. Even a beginner appraiser can do this much.

The items that could truly challenge some appraisers were the crystals that were traded by the Alliance. Based on the attendant\'s words, the appearance of these crystals can fool even some appraisers that were relying on their eyes.

[ Magic Sealing Crystal ]

[ Quality: Unique

Number of Enhancements: 0/10

Durability: 110/110

Sealed Mana Art: 0/1

Description: A unique crystal capable of storing complex forms of mana. There is currently no sealed form of mana sealed within the crystal.

Remarks: Durability will be upgraded in every enhancement. The number of Mana Arts that can be sealed depends on the durability of the crystal. ]

"This is impressive… Do you know how much this item is being sold?" Vincent asked the attendant who was working with him.

He is a man in his twenties and he doesn\'t seem to be a mana practitioner.

"An empty sealing crystal\'s worth is based on its durability points. If it\'s only less than 50 points, storing Tier 2 Mana Arts shouldn\'t be a problem. That should be worth 100 to 200 gold coins in normal cases. If it\'s higher than that, it can be worth 500 gold coins and above."

"It\'s so expensive?"

"Yeah… No one would normally bother using them except for the merchants or hunters who are always outside or wandering around various regions. Well, this crystal is very easy to use after all. Whether you have completed your Mana Baptism or not, you can still use the crystal as long as you have a bit of mana in your body. Furthermore, it can be a life-saving item as well. Just imagine yourself being completely exhausted in battle and can\'t move anymore… This Sealing Crystal can give you---Ehem… Never mind what I said. So, how are the qualities of these products?"

Realizing that he had gotten a bit talkative, he immediately corrected himself and changed the topic.

One of the supervisors might notice them chatting after all.

"Hmm… This one is good, it\'s 110 points in durability. It should be able to store a decent Mana Art."

"Oh? It\'s over one hundred? Then it should be able to store some mid-level Tier 3 Mana Arts."

"Can it also store some Aura Knight\'s skills like Soul Pressure and Domain?"

"No… The skills of the Aura Knights were based on the power of their soul after all. Only Mana Practitioners can store their Arts inside the crystal."

Vincent accepted the answer and continued appraising the items with the attendant\'s help.

Surprisingly, the final item that he had appraised was not a stone or natural object but a weapon. A very familiar book to be precise.

Ding!

[ Appraisal has been successful. ]

[ You have discovered a Tome of Skills. ]

[ Tome of Skills ]

[ Quality: Epic

Number of Enhancements: 0/10

Durability: 100/100

Water Prison: 21

Unused Pages: 2

Description: A special book that can store Mana Arts or Special Abilities on each page. This specific tome can only store Water Related skills due to the materials used to create the tome.

Remarks: You can only store Tier 3 Mana Arts and below. Stored Skills will be enhanced in every enhancement. ]

\'This is another item that can store Mana Arts…\' Vincent mused.

"It seems that the Black Tower traded a lot of materials related to storing Mana Arts?" Vincent probed the attendant.

"You\'re right… Our Magic Craftsmen are doing their best to find a way to mass produce Magic Weapons. Not only that, they wanted to create weapons that anyone can use for a cheaper price. Just like what you thought before, the sealing crystals are way too expensive. It\'s impractical to mass produce items based on this raw ingredient."

"I see… So these researchers are looking for a way to copy its principles and make it less expensive, huh."

"You\'re right! Isn\'t that amazing? Once it succeeded, the winds of change will begin to blow! The war will certainly be in our favor."

The attendant said with excitement.

"War?" Vincent repeated.

As far as he knows the Black Tower shouldn\'t be in a war against any of the five large organizations. What war is he talking about?

"Ahh… That… Forget about that. You\'re still too young so you won\'t understand. You\'ll know of it once you\'ve gotten strong. For now, just worry about yourself and become an official member of the Black Tower." The attendant immediately said. He was sweating profusely since he just overheard this conversation as well.

Since he was only an attendant here in the Appraisal Hall, he shouldn\'t know about this matter as well.

He immediately looked around and after confirming that no official members are listening, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Vincent tried to get more information about the war but unfortunately, the man seems to be too afraid to speak as he might lose his job.

In the end, Vincent completed his task with a bit of uneasiness in his heart.
