Chapter 235 - The Diamond Eye (2/2)
Even though Inlas was one of the most criminal cities in The Kingdom of Fallen Hopes, Svein was not surprised. People from all over the kingdom came to him, many nobles and powerful mages. He even had a 'Merciful Death' officer visit him once. Svein has seen people of all kinds.
”All right, I see you know how to behave. Put everything on the platform, and I'll tell you the price in a little while.”
Evan nodded and pulled out a set of caskets from the ring. Each box contained ten spatial rings. Even Svein was a little surprised by this many things.
”Not bad young man, not bad,” Svein said, looking at the boxes.
Evan alternately began to put on the ring and put all the contents on the platform. In time a whole mountain of various Catalysts, materials, armor, and artifacts formed on the platform.
The mountain was growing, and it seemed as if Evan had an infinite amount of things. Ring after ring emptied out until finally, the last things fell onto the mountain. Then Evan threw about a hundred spatial rings into that mountain, which he no longer needed.
He turned to Svein and said, ”Everyone, how long will the assessment last?”
Evan realized that there were a lot of things, and it would take Svein a long time to check and evaluate each one. But, to his surprise, the appraiser shook his head.
”Not very long. It'll all be ready in five minutes.” Svein said calmly.
Evan was surprised by this answer. He didn't believe it was possible. There were several thousand different things on the platform. Svein had to estimate a hundred things a second if he wanted to make it in five minutes.
However, Svein was extremely serious. He was not going to evaluate each thing separately, he had a way to do it all at once.
Whooosh.
”Warp,” Svein spun, and he began casting the spell. He was a mage at the stage - the 'One-Pointed Star.'
Suddenly two blue magic circles appeared before his eyes. Thousands of blue threads emerged from them and headed toward the objects on the platform. One of the threads touched Svein.
<I see, that's how he checks several hundred items in a couple of seconds. This spell is handy for the evaluator, but it's just a colossal strain on the brain.>
When Evan absorbed knowledge from 20,000 books, he had a terrible headache. Now Svein was experiencing something similar, though if he weren't capable of it, he wouldn't be the best appraiser at Vextin.
After a while, the spell stopped working, and with a sigh, Svein said, ”Four minutes and fifty seconds. It could have been faster.”
”What's the price?” Evan asked.
Svein smiled and said, ”I have to say, I've only seen this much stuff a couple of times. I'll have a headache for a few more days for sure. I'll give you 50 million gold coins or 500,000 platinum coins for all of this.”
<For that money I could buy a few small towns. I didn't expect organizations in Inlas to have that much money>.
”Fine, I want platinum coins, all 500,000 of them.
