Chapter 1919 Blind Sale

Emery, although not typically inclined towards activities that depended on chance, willingly engaged in Klea's enthusiasm. "Let's take a closer look, Emery," she encouraged. Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

Having once held the prestigious title of the queen of Egypt, Klea's upbringing involved an extensive study of historical artifacts. The mere sight of these enigmatic objects held a captivating allure for her. The room they entered was brimming with a diverse assortment of rocks, varying in size from small to moderately large. Multiple long tables adorned with a layer of dirt displayed each piece, meticulously categorized into three distinct grades, each assigned fixed prices: 10,000 spirit stones, 100,000 spirit stones, and a million spirit stones.

Klea meticulously examined each item, her focus gravitating towards the high-grade relics that hinted at untold stories. Her exploration eventually halted at one particular piece, concealed beneath a layer of a lustrous violet crystal. "What do you suppose lies within this crystal? There appears to be some inscriptions... possibly a concealed spell," Klea inquired, her eyes reflecting a genuine curiosity that resonated with the mystery embedded within the artifact.

Before Emery could approach the crystal Klea had pointed out, three figures approached them. Two youthful magus were accompanied by an elderly one trailing behind. The blond-haired magus among them spoke up.

"It's just a letter from a lost dynasty more than 20,000 years ago," he stated nonchalantly, his gaze fixated on Klea. "The crystal, however, is quite exquisite—suitable for a beautiful woman like you."

Klea, maintaining her poise, gave the man a mere fleeting glance before gracefully turning away. Undeterred, she continued her quest, examining other items within the room with a singular focus on unraveling the mysteries they held.

Observing Klea's dismissal, the other young man grew visibly irritated. With a tone of arrogance, he declared, "How dare you ignore my lord Croft!"

To her surprise, Emery didn't seem ready to leave just yet. She looked at Klea and said "I will find you a better one." These words seemed to irk the blond man even further, and he retorted with irritation, "Rubbish! Master Burin has looked around the place and found nothing better!"

Emery, unfazed by the man's outburst, calmly surveyed the surroundings, employing his spirit sense combined with [Nature Grasp] to connect with the earth elements on the stones. Emery delicately felt the shapes and markings within the rocks, his senses attuned to the subtle energies that emanated from each piece.

His proficiency in appraisal, honed through years of experience in apothecary, served as a foundation for Emery's confidence. However, what truly bolstered his assurance was the addition of a new artificial lifeform, equipped with the ability to effortlessly extract information from mysterious markings.

As he delved into his investigation, Emery's discerning gaze led him to one of the lower-grade tables—a seemingly unremarkable, dirt-covered stone slab modestly priced at 10,000 spirit stones. Confident in his choice, Emery turned to the staff and declared, "I will purchase this one." His decision sent ripples of curiosity through the onlookers.

The nobleman, already exasperated by Emery's earlier actions, couldn't contain his frustration any longer. "How foolish! There has never been a treasure worth more than 100,000 among the low-grade piles... never!" he proclaimed incredulously, his disbelief evident in both his tone and expression.

With the purchase finalized, Emery casually broke the seemingly mundane stone slab. Removing the dirt, he unveiled a slab adorned with inscriptions that emitted a soft, ethereal glow. The Master appraiser, overseeing the process, looked at the revealed markings with evident shock. "It's... a divine item," he exclaimed, his voice filled with awe and surprise.

He holds in his hands a relic imbued with the wisdom of a supreme being from at least 20,000 years ago. This divine item was no ordinary stone slab—it contained a profound technique, a treasure estimated to be worth at least 5 million spirit stones.

Emery casually gave the item to Klea, receiving her joyful embrace, while at the same time, a raging stare from the noble.
