Chapter 248: Abusing the power of his eye! (1/2)

Nonetheless, there was a way around it, and that was to know the item's history. For example, a new talisman naturally wouldn't have an account of getting utilized by its owner. It would only have the history of getting created by its owner. So, as long as you know how to craft a talisman, then there's a high chance you would complete the trial. The opposite was also true. You would fail if you were not a talisman maker.

Theo and John knew that Elliot had some way of knowing the effect of items. He was an otherworldly appraiser, one they had never seen before, so if he could check out the history of the items, it would make things easier for everyone.

”Listen to me; I can select the trial where you guys can perform your best. There will be a high chance of winning an item then. Just challenge the trial of the item I pick for you, alright?” Elliot said to his teammates.

”Go on, divine gambler.” John cheered for Elliot, acting like his little fangirl.

”Pipe down and let him focus.” Theo's cold gaze landed on John, and his mouth immediately closed shut. With the devil that likes to teleport him to mountain ranges far, far away over his head, the young vampire dared not say a test. He didn't have the guys to test his patience. A scaredy-cat it was.

”I see.”

With a single gaze, Elliot managed to read the history of all the items in his field of vision. If the items had a soul, they would've manifested before him and accused him of molesting them. It wasn't wrong to say that they were stripped of all their clothes and privacy in front of his gaze. The poor items felt like helpless little lambs that could only let him take advantage of them.

”Grace, you can go challenge the trial of this spirit mark. It's of water nature, and you only need to defeat a water snake to subdue it and become its owner.” Elliot said while pointing at a round tablet with a magical symbol on it. It was the spirit mark of a water snake, a spirit beast that belonged in the same family tree as Grace, albeit a lot weaker than her.

”I will do as you say, master.”

Elliot had many points, so he gave 50 to each of his pets to spend as they liked. Grace happily went ahead and challenged the trial. She trusted Elliot's word as not only was he her master, but he also had no reasons to harm or make a fool out of her. Immediately after touching the spirit mark, a voice echoed in her head, telling her what Grace wanted to do, and she said she wanted to take the test. Then, her consciousness drifted away, and she found herself next to a lake.

”He can even do that?” Lucy was surprised. She wasn't able to understand how Elliot managed to figure out what the trial would be like.

Was he some kind of prophet?

Could he see into the future?

”Not just that, he can also do a lot of fantastic stuff. Back then, he helped us win several bets in a single day, that too without a single loss.”

John laughed, remembering the time they made thousands of magic coins. Elliot, although he was standing far away from them and inspecting the items, he still managed to hear his word. He was a bit surprised that John still remembered it. For him, that event happened only a few months ago, but for John, it was more than several years.
