Faviona never heard of any top-tier Appraisal Skills that only require a bit of touch. Such a requirement for an appraisal is very little and there are many things you will miss without having eyesight.
Of course, she's not looking down at Vincent's appraisal skill since he's been working for the Tower as well.
She just knows that appraising an item should require the scrutiny of an expert's eyes or through the help of a magic tool.
Although there is indeed an Appraiser Hand as a Mystic Ability, it shouldn't be capable of appraising high-level items. It should only be able to appraise low-rank items like those Common and Uncommon ones with a minimal requirement to distinguish them.
With that said, Faviona couldn't help but be suspicious about Vincent's skills so she wanted to see it herself.
"Hmm… If you're interested in my appraisal skill, then allow me to check it then."
Vincent said as he held the vial of liquid in his hands. It was a bit cold and he could feel powerful energy coming from it even without using his soul sense.
The vial he's holding now doesn't seem like a type of medicine at all.
Anyway, he immediately appraised the item under everyone's watchful eyes.
[ Do you want to Appraise the item? ]
'Yes…'
As soon as he answered his mind, the status of the potion was revealed to his mind.
[ A Bottle of Moonbreaker Potion ]
[ Grade: Middle
Number of Enhancements: 0/10
Description: A magical liquid made from the Essence of Moon Drake's bone marrow, Silver Stag's brain, and Moon Dragon Flower. It is capable of removing any mid-grade seal or weakening a high-grade seal that has been applied to the body.
Body Seal Resistance will permanently increase after consumption.
This potion is ineffective against any form of Seal targeted at non-living things.
The potion's effect had a high chance of increasing up to 13% if consumed while basking in the moonlight.
Remarks: Every enhancement will improve the effects of the potion. ]
"Hmm… Is it looking like this because it's a middle-grade potion?" Vincent asked Faviona after reading the appraisal result.
He could only deduce the reason after recalling how it wasn't mentioned in the Knowledge Base Crystal about its other grades.
"That's right… But… Have you finished your appraisal already?" Faviona asked in surprise…
First of all, Vincent did not taste or touch the liquid at all. What he was touching is the glass bottle instead. Although it is still possible to appraise it if he has an Appraiser's Hand as his Tier 4 Mana Art, it should still need a bit of time since he'll use his mana to get contact with it which will obviously require more time than normal appraisers.
"It's not complete yet but I already have a rough understanding… If I want to complete my appraisal, it will take some time and I can't make you wait for me for long… At the very least, I confirmed that this is indeed a Moonbreaker Potion…" Vincent said unhurriedly.
"See? Don't think of doubting our master again…" Faviona's companion or subordinate said with a sneer after hearing his conclusion.
"Dianne… That's enough. I apologize for her manners, Vincent. This girl has barely left the Alchemist Union's territory after all. All she learned in her life is to create a potion, pills, and magic crafting…"
The young woman she called Dianne is similar to Vincent's age. She has a great talent in alchemy so Faviona accepted her as her disciple.
If Vincent could see her, he would realize that Dianne is wearing different clothes compared to the other four. She has a luxurious magician robe and expensive pieces of jewelry on her body. Her braided hair also appears very beautiful on her so she most likely has servants doing it for her.
p Of course, even if he can't see, Vincent still noticed that she's quite different. It's all thanks to his Item Sense Ability.
With this system skill, he can easily judge a person's status or wealth.
Most people only have 3 or 4 magic tools with them since unlike Vincent with a large mana pool, the average Mana Practitioners only have around 400 to 600 units. It means that they can't use many magic tools.
If you have 12 pieces of magic tools like Dianne or 18 magic tools like Faviona, they can certainly be considered wealthy or powerful individuals.
Vincent wouldn't even be able to count the Magic Tools inside their interspatial ring if they have one.
"I don't really mind. However, others may not be as forgiving as me so she has to learn to tone it down."
"Haha! You're right… She still has a lot to learn. Anyway, are you still not planning to share the secrets of your magic tools? You brought out a bunch of them so I'm very curious."
"It's not really a huge secret… I came from a different continent—No, I mean I came from a very far island and I brought a lot of things from there."
"Oh~ I heard about that indeed… I spent a lot of money to learn that information but you just willingly told me now… Ugh, I can't help but feel like I spent that money for nothing. Anyway, I'm sure that it wasn't the reason. I already investigated the Zemin Clan and even their clan could not bring out that much. If you tell me about the location of the dungeon or maybe the name of the magic craftsman who created them, I will work for you again for free. This time you can request any Tier 4 or even Tier 5…"
Faviona said as she tried persuading Vincent again.
"I apologize… My source was not really special and the Magic Tools that I sold back there were the last ones. Even if you learned about my source, you will not find them again."
"Hmm… Is that so… Then, how about this, I'm willing to sell you a piece of information. It's something that could be very important to you. I will tell it to you now and you can pay me using any Magic Tool that was from the same source. I don't care if it's only uncommon, rare, unique…"
Vincent wasn't too curious about this piece of information but it seems that this woman has realized the existence of "enhancements".
Perhaps, she was like Ayla, Professor Turhan's disciple, who had started to learn about the Enhancements!
"Hmm… I will listen." Vincent said after thinking for a while.
"Great! This information is very valuable… Do you know that the Red Alliance have started transporting their prisoners to their territory?"
