Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 54 Rewards



As soon as he heard the door opening, Vincent immediately halted what he was about to do. He then glanced at the confused Therese who just entered the room.

'Well, I can still ascend my Cane later… No hurry…' With that in mind, he controlled his excitement and answered her.

"Ehem… I was just happy that I managed to appraise one of the items here. It took some time but I'm quite confident with the result."

Vincent said while pointing at the Necklace of Silence on the table.

During his tour around the Auction House, he learned that appraising high-level items would normally take a lot of time even with the appropriate skills. There are also cases where it could be wrong or you might miss something.

This is the reason why there are many levels of Appraisals within this House.

After he appraised the items with his Intermediate Appraisal, he learned that there is one Pseudo-Legendary Rank, two Epic Rank, and one Unique Rank.

This made him aware of the real ranking list of the items.

Poor, Common, Uncommon, Rare, Unique, Epic, Pseudo-Legendary, Legendary, and unknown.

Since only a few minutes passed by, he decided to tell Therese that he only managed to appraise a Unique Item instead which is the lowest rank of them all.

It might be too surprising if he was able to easily appraise the other Pseudo-Legendary Item and Epic Rank Items after all.

"Oh~ You already appraised it… Interesting. What do you think of that necklace? It will be auctioned two days from now so I want to make sure if I have them all correctly."

"This item is called Necklace of Silence, right? Based on the ranking list, it should be a Unique Rank Accessory." Vincent replied as he knows that the system's ranking list is similar to this world's rank list as well.

Before Vincent continued explaining what he found out about the item though, he curiously asked how much would a Unique Item would normally be sold for.

"You also want to know how much it can be sold?" Therese asked.

This is one of the things Vincent lacks after all. He's unable to give a proper price for any items he appraises.

​ At the very least, now that he's working here, he would be able to learn how to price any artifacts or magic items. Since Therese made a good impression on him, he decided to just casually ask her about it.

"The normal price of Unique Rank items is around 30,000 gold coins. Though there are cases where it could reach triple that price like the recent Unique item we sold here for 94,000 gold coins. Anyway, it will only happen if the item is approaching the level of an Epic one."

"What?! Isn't that so expensive? I remember that my payment was less than 50 silver a month!" Vincent was shocked as soon as he heard the incredible price of the Unique Rank item which should be just above the Rare Rank ones.

If he's not mistaken, a single piece of a gold coin is equal to a hundred silver. With that in mind, it would take him centuries to earn enough money to buy a decent weapon!

It appears that there really was no way for him to acquire a high-ranking weapon unless he Ascend an item's rank!

"Haa~ Incredible, how heavy that must be…" Vincent could only shake his head after realizing this.

"Hmm? It's not like they'll really pay using gold coins. Are you not aware of Mana Crystals? A single Mana Crystal is worth 100 gold coins." Therese asked in confusion.

She couldn't understand this young man at all. Did he grow up knowing only how to appraise an item but learned nothing else?

"Mana Crystals?" Vincent asked while Therese couldn't help but be amused at his question.

"Yes. That will also be provided to you as a payment depending on the number of items you appraised. Did you not read the contract. Isn't that the reason why you applied for the job?"

"I… I focused on the 40 silver coins per month… But yes, I somehow read that there is a bonus payment, I just didn't know it was about the Mana Crystals. I didn't read too much of it."

Therese then smiled at him as she gave him the advice to learn the common sense of this world first.

"It's fine, I know that you just left your village so you don't know much at all. You'll slowly be learning all of this you're still young anyway… However, let's talk about the Necklace of Silence now."

Vincent still wants to ask about the Platinum Coin but as Therese changed the subject he decided to just learn about it elsewhere and just finish his task here.

***

Vincent returned to the inn after he managed to satisfy Therese with his appraisal ability.

In the end, he decided to also reveal that he managed to appraise one of the Epic Items allowing him to be regarded quite highly by the gorgeous woman.

As for the Pseudo-Legendary and the unknown item, he decided to tell that he's incapable of understanding them yet.

When he said, Therese heaved a sigh of relief so he knows that he made the right decision to hold back.

"Ahh…" Vincent suddenly recalled that Tara has left already. He's about to invite her to a meal but it seems that he has to eat alone today.

"Right, she mentioned that Yvette's servant came to bring the reward here."

Vincent remembered what Tara said before she left as he went to check his table.

Soon, he found a bag filled with various things and confirmed that it came from Yvette.

"Finally, I have some proof of identity…"

With this, Vincent will no longer worry if people would question his identity. His documents were also stamped by Count Miller Marshall who is governing a large county!

Vincent then confirmed that Tara did not take her proof of identity yet and left it here.

"This means that she'll really come back, right?" Vincent muttered as he suddenly felt lonely thinking that Tara would just leave him like that.

As he reached this thought, he noticed that there is also a letter with a bronze medallion included in the bag.

Medallion has the Marshall Family's insignia and the letter is actually an invitation to visit their villa.

Vincent decided to keep it for now and he finally found a pouch of gold coins containing about 500 pieces of them!

"Generous… Truly generous as expected of the Count." Vincent couldn't help but smile after seeing so much money in front of him.

As he was about to continue his celebration by buying the most expensive meat in the restaurant below, he suddenly heard a huge commotion in the streets.

"Celestials! Celestials! Two Celestial Beings are battling outside the city!"
