Chapter 52: Stone of Sight! The power of future!

Chapter 52

They suddenly felt a chill behind and got uncomfortable all over.

Looking over, the masked person was looking in their direction, and his eyes, for some reason, felt intimidating and overbearing.

It was as if they were being stared down by the entire sky!

They felt as insignificant as tiny ants under the mountainous intimidation from him.

Just the gaze was so overbearing that they felt they were being stared down by the stars! Always beneath...

It seemed that they shouldn't comment more or they would get into big trouble, so they quickly shut themselves.

Oliver, on the other hand, focused back on the stage. He knew these sort of people.

They were all bark but no bite. They would fear strong and bully the weak.

He used only light intimidation and silenced them instantly.

Calmly, he assessed the situation.

He had purchased the artifact...

The artifact everyone was considering useless and uncommon rank...

An item that made others feel that he was trying to show off.

Something that a junior expert appraiser from the forging association advised against... he bought it.

Why? Just why would he purchase such trash?

Simple, because it was not trash.

But a gem in the covering of garbage that they could not see.

This artifact was called [Stone of Sight] and was an item that was originally possessed by the high priestess of the Vasa family in the story's original plotline.

She was the future companion of the protagonist of the story.

In the novel, they both worked as allies for some time before departing. She was someone who fought alongside the protagonist and helped exterminate demons who threatened the very concept of humanity.

Upon seeing her family's dire circumstances, she decided to do the ultimate.

Without the notice of her parents, she secretly picked up some valuables from her family's treasure vault. There were not many things, but she took what she considered to be sellable.

A reckless and stupid move, but she did it out of desperation; she was not able to see her parents suffering every day.

She hated this; what was the use of treasures or heirlooms if they can't be used when needed? If they can't be used and were only serving as decorations, then it was better to earn something from them.

The readers empathized with her decision to sell the artifacts seeing as it was an action out of love for her family and her desire to improve their situation, rather than a selfish or malicious act.

She traveled all the way from her home to the Mystic Purge Clan and put the items up for auction.

She was naive and had little knowledge of the world; she used her textbook knowledge and put the items up for auction in hopes of gaining funds that she could use to rebuild her family.

Maybe this was why she was scammed multiple times after leaving the mountains; she truly acted like an oblivious and ignorant bumpkin.

He wondered how his actions would affect the future since he had directly purchased the heirloom of the Vasa family.

He didn't know if she was even aware that the stone she had put up for auction was so important or not.

"She didn't just think it was some ordinary item, right?" He doubted.

The [Stone of Sight], although appearing lacking and useless, was not.

This was just because this artifact had certain conditions that needed to be fulfilled first before it could grant the bearer [Future Sight].

The only reason people never realized its true potential was because the first and foremost condition to activate this artifact was through a sacrifice.

A sacrifice of one's own sight to achieve the first condition.

The artifact worked on simple reasons; for someone to be able to bear the powers of [Future Sight], they must be prepared to vassal that power inside their eyes.

And the best way to achieve that was to have a blank slate prepared; if used on a person with no sight, the chances for them to gain [Future Sight] increase highly.

Otherwise, it was very difficult to handle the power of [Future Sight].

In the novel, it was mentioned briefly that someone had purchased the artifact from the auction, and later the daughter of the Vasa family had to go through many things and situations before being able to retrieve the artifact back.

He shook his head...

It was time for the last item!
