Tara replied with her low and angelic voice.
With her answer, Vincent heaved a sigh of relief. It's not like he has an interest in her.
He just knows that he'll benefit from her if she stays beside him. In this world where he could encounter a lot of unknown dangers, it's better if he stayed with someone who could potentially eliminate them all.
Although Tara is only ranked 999, she's still a Celestial Being and she should be capable of dealing with normal magicians or magic knights that he's incapable of handling.
"Are you going outside now? I'll be staying here." Tara added.
"Yes, it's still early anyway. I'll return after selling these things." Vincent said as he pulled up the small bag containing various materials and herbs he forages along the way.
Though he has plenty of money, it's not like he has a steady source of income. He had to ensure that would just be spending all the time.
'Right, Yvette should be rewarding us some money as well. I hope that it would be too much.' Vincent thought.
If Yvette decided to give them too much money, Count Marshall might get suspicious and decide to investigate him. He didn't want such complications so he only wanted a normal reward for the help they've given.
"We're selling new throwing knives made from the horns of Demon-Eyed Goats! Hurry only 10 sets are available!"
"I'm trading my Orichalcum Ore for a genuine Rare Grade Sword!"
"I'm buying Beast Cores! Sell it to me now and I'll give you a bonus of 3 silver coins for each of them!"
"Buy our genuine medicine kit! Approved by the best Alchemist in the city! We only have 20 sets remaining! Hurry and buy now before they all get sold!"
Vincent heard the people shouting what they wanted just outside the Auction House.
Since the Auction House is where rich people gather, the sellers would normally stay around here in the hopes of attracting them into buying their items or perhaps to pique their interest into selling their items to them instead of auctioning them off.
Actually, he also felt curious about what they are selling though he has no idea what they are. Especially the Orichalcum Ore that was the size of an adult's fist.
He wanted to take a look at it closely but before he gets to the man, another person had already gone and inspected the ore.
"Tsk…"
After a few seconds of checking the Orichalcum Ore, the man clicked his tongue and shook his head before deciding to leave without any more words.
Then, Vincent saw the seller smile apologetically as he let the man leave.
'Hmm?'
Vincent felt curious about what happened as he approached the seller.
"May I check the Orichalcum Ore?" Vincent asked. The man is actually selling other things on his mat but this appears to be the most valuable.
"Do you have a Rare Weapon on you?" The seller asked as he looked at Vincent's clothes.
Vincent is wearing his tailored linen clothes and though it doesn't look expensive, they suit him well.
"I have… Don't worry." Vincent replied.
"Fine. I'll give you a few seconds to check the ore." The man coldly said and waited. It's normal to have the people check the authenticity of their goods so he already expected this to happen.
Vincent smiled and touched the ore. He doesn't need to lift it since his intention was just to appraise the ore in the first place.
Ding!
[ Appraisal has been successful. ]
[ You have discovered a Minted Iron Ore. ]
[ Minted Iron Ore ]
[ Quality: Common
Number of Enhancements: 0 /10
Durability: 20
Description: A modified Iron Ore. After being modified, it appears like an Orichalcum Ore.
Remarks: No special properties found. Durability will be upgraded in every enhancement. ]
"Ugh… It's just an Iron Ore… No wonder the other hooded guy felt disappointed after checking this ore."
Vincent then gave a glance to the person who was selling this as Orichalcum Ore after modifying an Iron Ore.
This person is just trying to scam people!
"Haa~ Old man, you should stop scamming people. I'll leave now." Vincent muttered before he stood up and left.
He decided not to cause commotion just like what the first person did.
"That… I'm sorry… I just needed some money young man. My son is--"
"You don't have to explain it to me. Bye…" Vincent cut off his words as he returned the ore on the mat before leaving.
The seller can only sigh as he thought that he wasn't really lucky today.
Vincent then continued looking around the place until he decided to finally sell his items. There are materials like the wolf's fang and herbs that he foraged in the forest.
As for the Beast Cores, he doesn't have plans of selling them yet since they are still useful whenever he plans to make an enhancement to save his mana.
The good thing about this is that he sold all of them in one Alchemy Shop.
Grace Alchemy Store. This is the name of the shop where he sold his things and here, he found several interesting potions and crafts that he wanted to purchase!
As soon as he left the shop, Vincent only has 18 gold coins and 10 silver coins in his pocket! Nevertheless, he has a bag filled with incredible potions and even a couple of talismans!
He didn't regret purchasing them and even felt very excited to return to the inn and try something out.
"Appraisers! The Guardian Auction House is hiring Appraisers and Security Personnel! Look!"
"Really? What are the qualifications? I wanted to work for the Guardians all this time."
"Hmm… The Appraisers need to have a 1-Star Qualification and pass the examination. They will have a salary of 50 silver coins a month and bonuses according to the items they managed to appraise. Whoa~ So generous."
There was a sudden commotion outside the Auction House and Vincent was just in time to witness it.
"Appraisers, huh…" He mumbled.
He noticed that his Appraisal Ability has been stuck in Intermediate Level. This is most likely because the things he has been appraising all this time are just Uncommon or Common items.
'Should I take a look?' Vincent thought.
"Oh! I arrived at a perfect time! Hahaha!"
Suddenly, a fat young man appeared as he laughed uncaring of his surroundings.
He is accompanied by a couple of escorts and based on his luxurious clothes, he seems to be someone important.
