Chapter 65: The entire upper society is awed! (1/2)
”So, how is it? Can you feel it?”
”It's true! I can feel my magic energy increasing by hundreds of units! My magic energy rivals that of a Grandmaster of magicians! This artifact has been with me for years, and I only wore it for it looks good, but it's only today that I realized its true worth. Thank you, honorable appraiser Joker. How can I ever repay you?”
Within the main hall of the artifact gallery, a middle-aged woman, wearing a revealing dress that showed her slender, hairless legs and portions of her breasts, found out that the earring she was wearing wasn't a mere earring but a piece of artifacts thanks to Joker, who calmly indulged himself in the view of her beauty.
An instant after she said those words, the gasps of the appraisers and the customer sounded in the hall, attracting Elliot's gaze, and he saw that everyone was looking at him, making him feel like he has become the center of attention, just what he wanted.
”This is the seventh time he has correctly appraised an item! This person is a genius, a prodigy amongst us appraisers.”
”What a lucky day for me. I can't believe that I am in the presence of an honorable appraiser.”
”He can help us appraise a lot of our items!”
Without surprise, the people inside the artifact gallery started a commotion, praising Elliot to the highest heaven.
However, some of them didn't like the fact that a never-before-seen appraiser has become the center of attention, and they rebuked loudly.
”Who knows? Maybe he just got lucky!”
”Yeah, it's just beginner luck.”
”Hmph! He is hiding his identity, and that alone makes him fishy. I think he is a phony who paid a few people to act for him. It's all fake, I say! It's all fake. There is no way a appraise can appraise seven items correctly without taking a breath!”
The ridicule directed at him was instantly suppressed by the waves of support and praises coming from all directions, resonating in his ears, making him hold his head high in pride.
Those looking at him felt that they were staring at the sage of wisdom, who refused to acknowledge the gods and their creations for their foolishness.
”I don't need petty wealth. Write me an IOU and leave behind a way for me to communicate with you. When I demand it, come and help me out. Are you fine with that?” Elliot replied to the lady with red lips.
She agreed, signing a magic contract with him, and then handing over her personal number, business card, and three sizes to him.
”Call me whenever you need me,” Lana licked her red lips with her soft tongue and winked at him suggestively, signifying with her actions that she would like to have a war with him in the bed before she left the artifact gallery.
”Honorable appraiser, please check my items!”
”Me too!”
”Me three!”
A lot of people wanted to have their unidentified objects appraised under his hands.
Elliot's stretched back into a wide smile and he said, ”Come one by one if you have a magic contract with you and are willing to pay me five thousand magic coins and help me in my times of need.”
An hour later, once Elliot finished appraising the one hundred items and telling everything about them to their owners, he managed to obtain a hundred IOU meaning that a hundred people owe him and they will return the favor to honor the deal or be punished severely for breaking the magic contract.
His act left hundreds of people speechless, and they were so shocked to their core that their eyes threatened to pop out of their sockets, and their gaping mouths changed to complete circles, opened wide enough to have seven carrots stick inside of them.
”Just how has he managed to perfectly appraise a hundred items within an hour?”
”He has broken the world record set by the current best appraiser!”
”Doesn't that mean he is the best appraiser in the world now!”
”Holy shit, the world's best appraiser is in front of me right now!”
”Am I dreaming? If so, help me wake up!”
