Chapter 93 - Britta's Lamp

Incredible!

Cyril stared at the mask as he wanted to make sure that his senses aren't mistaken.

Though the mask still looks the same, the aura being emitted from it was definitely that of a high-rank!

After a long while, he can only accept that the item had truly upgraded and jumped two levels!

From C-Rank to A-Rank!

"An Upgrade Stone?"

Cyril decided to name the stone since he can't just always call it the mysterious copper-like stone.

'This is weird… I can't remember that there was a time that an Artifact's grade has ever been upgraded.'

Cyril can only shake his head as he thought of asking the Demon who has been watching him all this time.

"Sir Xagan… About the previous Upgrade Stone, do you know where I could find it? I mean, are there other items like this?" Cyril asked.

Xagan looked at him for a moment before shifting his gaze at the Identity Shroud Mask.

"Searching thing works quite differently, Contractor. It depends on the distance. You should have an idea about it right now. Hmm… I have little information about this stone that you named yourself so, at least, I can search for that similar stone within a 50-kilometer radius for 2.5 days… How about it?" Xagan answered like a proper businessman.

"Ugh... Nevermind. I doubt that I could find them in the real world. If you do it in the Red Goblin Arcane World, how much is it?"

Cyril decided to change his question. Their world is too big and this type of stone wouldn't just be taken out of the Arcane World... It might even be mistaken as some random, side-of-the-road stone! So bringing them outside might be close to impossible unless it was carefully inspected by someone.

"As you know, my powers inside a different Arcane World are greatly limited unless I'm the one who created it… So, 20 days for 1 kilometer, Contractor…" Xagan replied with a smile.

"That much?"

The price was indeed steep!

If not for the fact that Xagan can't lie to him, he wouldn't believe this price. The difference was just too much.

Cyril decided not to hurry about finding them so kept this for now at the back of his head.

Anyway, it's not like he has decent Artifact as of the moment. His weapons and equipment were all on the average side after all.

The next day, Cyril decided to make more Lesser Healing Potion and have Bonnie watch the process. After all, just hearing the instructions was difficult. It is better for her to see his concoction method and have a feel of it herself.

Soon, ten life lace flowers she's taking care of disappeared and converted to 10 small vials of liquid.

"Lesser Healing Potion… It looks really good. Are you going to sell them all? I think you should keep some of them in case something happened."

Bonnie commented after hearing his plan to sell them in the black market.

"Don't worry… You'll be making more anyway." Cyril replied filled with confidence.

Right now, Cyril hasn't made arrangements yet about the license to sell these potions legally. He still has to ask Vanessa's help about it.

"I guess bribing her with some potion would be enough?" Cyril muttered which didn't escape Bonnie's ears.

She could only sigh as this nephew of hers is already so mature and influenced by capitalism.

Cyril then transferred 50 million Ains to Bonnie so she can purchase more unique but safe plants from the Association.

After a couple of hours, Cyril managed to enter the Black Market through the same orphanage in Reiwess City.

Well, this is the only place he knows. He's aware that each city has a secret passage to enter the underworld organization's Ascension City…

However, he's not aware of these places and perhaps, he'd consider asking Britta if there is any entrance in Versailles City so he wouldn't have to travel far just to enter the Black Market.

Soon, he met Britta in his same shop that has gotten a lot bigger!

Zero Trust Trading…

"You bought the two buildings nearby?"

"Cyril! It's been a while! Yes, thanks to your potions… My business is booming. I paid off all my debts and I gained tons of customers."

Britta's presence is now completely different from the first time they met. Before, she looks like an office lady with her attire and her pony-tailed blonde hair because of her other part-time job.

Now, she looks like the other black market dealers with her black dress paired with her mysterious aura. She seems to have completely changed in such a short time. Only over a couple of weeks had passed after all.

Britta now has two employees assisting her within her shop. She is now selling mixed legal and illegal items…

Cyril observed his surroundings and found a lot of Rank-F to D Artifacts… Most of them are Goblin-made Artifacts and on another side were filled with materials for crafting Artifacts.

"You're doing a lot better than I expected…"

Cyril smiled as they entered a room to discuss his business here. He handed his Lesser Healing Potions and chatted for a while to talk about the other passage he could use and finally, he asked about some hot items within the Black Market.

"Oh… I do have an interesting item here." Britta immediately said as soon as their topic was changed to Artifacts.

She brought out a lamp like the one where genies would normally come out in shows.

It has mysterious markings but no ancient texts engraved into it. It's more like a magic circle if Cyril would guess.

'Xagan, what's this item all about?' Cyril asked while Britta introduced the item.

'Hmm? It's 10 days, Contractor…'

'Is it expensive because we're inside the Arcane World?'

'Yes…'

'Fine, I'll think about it.'

Cyril then listens to Britta's words.

Apparently, this item was found in a High-Class Arcane World.

It was said to be a cursed Artifact that was supposed to grant wishes… However, no one was able to activate this item.

Since Britta heard about the sealed mask before, she took an interest in this item and decided to wait until a fated one will who could activate this would appear.

"Do you want to see it?" Britta asked.

On the other hand, Cyril, who heard that it could grant wishes, had a weird expression on his face.
