Chapter 58: Appraisers Examination Room (a) (2/2)

He could also see a lot of wealthy people taking out their items and handing them over to famous appraisers, asking them to find out the worth of their items.

While a few appraisers were able to determine the name of the items, and only three of them were able to determine the effect of the items, most of them failed to make even a single correct assumption.

However, all of them received money from their customer, even though most of them failed to appraise the item.

After Elliot finished looking around this place like a curious child, he turned towards the beauty by his side and said, ”Let's grab a drink.”

”Okay,” Lisa nodded.

They motioned for one of the servers to come to them and serve them a drink. The server holding a tray with different types of drink stepped up to them, and they took a glass of wine, sipping it slowly, savoring its taste.

While standing next to each other, relaxing and occasionally taking a sip of their wine, Lisa's curiosity got the best of her and she asked, ”What do you think about this place?” She couldn't help it and wanted to know whether or not he liked this place.

Elliot's lips thinned into a smile and he said, ”It's undoubtedly a good place to establish connections with the higher-ups of the society, gain status, reputation as an appraiser, and a large amount of magic coins.”

He wanted to start identifying the items on the table to rack in some magic coins and also gain the attention of the crowd, but Lisa told him that he first needed to become an official appraiser of the artifact gallery. For that, he needs to undergo a simple test, and only after passing the test and becoming an appraiser will he be able to appraise the unidentified items.

Appraisers were knowledgeable and wise people who had researched a lot about the history of Xavier and were able to identify the name, properties, effects, and sometimes even the history of unidentified artifacts and items. Of course, appraisers that are able to identify everything about an artifact are not only highly respected and valued by the higher-ups of the society but also paid a lot of magic coins for every single item they appraise, deeply cherished, and many consider them as someone to kill and die for.

”Take me to the examiner,” Elliot said after he placed the wine glass on an empty table.

Lisa nodded, saying, ”Follow me.”

After entering the examination room, which was empty by the way, and only had a single examiner, who they walked up to, Lisa removed her mask and introduced her real identity to the examiner. Her simple act caused the examiner to feel so shocked that her eyeballs threatened to pop out of their sockets, and the examiner blurted out: ”Young miss, what are you doing here?”

”Today, the show's not about me,” Lisa shoot her down with a sly look on her face before she pointed at Elliot and continued, ”It's about him.”

Johanna turned to look at him, and the first thing that came to her mind was how the hell is this unidentifiable person and why is he accompanying Charlotte's family young miss?

”Umm, this person is?” Johanna asked.

Lisa smiled, hugged him, and said, ”Johanna, he is a lucky catch.”

Johanna's eyes opened wide in surprise and she blurted out loud, ”Don't tell me he is the person you chose to marry?!”
