Chapter 436: Chapter 226: Resonating Relic
How to determine if a piece of equipnt is a magic item, or what special effects it possesses.
The simplest thod, of course, is to use the One-Ring Prophecy Ritual Spell – “Identification Spell”.
Just a light touch, and the usage thod, characteristic effects, and even the remaining number of charges for the item will enter your mind as if inherited mories.
But even the most common and ordinary practical One-Ring Spells, which have been improved by countless excellent Mages over the years, almost require no casting materials.
The basic condition for casting the “Identification Spell” must be a Spellcaster.
And due to the high threshold leading to the scarcity of Spellcasters, it also makes this low-level spell difficult to benefit most of the world’s low-level adventurers and the general populace.
As for the magic scrolls that rember the “Identification Spell”… let’s just say, after seeing their expensive price in the market, anyone who can use them as a common identification thod surely possesses wealth beyond ordinary people’s reach.
Though the adventurer association is a super-sized organization with influence expanding across the continent, it’s impossible to equip every association branch with Spellcasters who can perform the Identification Spell.
Regardless of whether there are truly enough Spellcasters willing to give up their future careers, abandoning the comfortable lives of manor castles, to work in association branches often located in frontier towns, bustling with demons.
The annual salary expenditure alone is astronomical.
And the adventurer association itself, with its loose and free, “platform-like” organization nature, cannot force ordinary mbers to work for other adventurers.
Therefore, many adventurer associations, especially remote branches like River Valley Town, rarely have dedicated Spellcasters who know the Identification Spell.
Instead, they are replaced by ordinary appraisers with rich experience and sharp vision.
When Xia Nan, under Moli’s guidance, entered the so-called appraisal room on the Association Second Floor, he t this gentleman.
He seed sowhat aged, wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and faces were very noticeable, his white short hair was combed neatly without any disarray, and he wore silver-frad glasses on his nose.
Though dressed in the uniform of an association staff mber, in Xia Nan’s Perception, he didn’t seem to have any special professional abilities, just an ordinary person.
But the scholarly, elegant temperant, cultivated by vast knowledge, sharply contrasted with the chaotic adventurers downstairs.
“This is our association’s appraiser, Mr. Downs.” Moli opened the door for Xia Nan, introducing softly.
And also explained their purpose to the counterpart.
“This is Mr. Xia Nan, who needs services related to items consignnt.”
“Hello!” Sitting behind the wooden table, Appraiser Downs took the initiative to stand up, took a few steps forward, and greeted Xia Nan.
He didn’t show any disregard because Xia Nan was rely an ordinary person, nor did he feel superior due to his professional status.
Xia Nan smiled and shook hands politely with the counterpart.
While secretly scrutinizing the arrangent of this appraisal room.
Firstly, the most eye-catching naturally was the center of the room, a large and sturdy long table made of heavy oak.
The middle of the desktop was covered with durable leather, while the two sides were covered with thick felt and lead plates, seemingly to accommodate different types of items that may need placent on the table;
The edge was carved with a shallow groove, effectively preventing items from rolling off, with multiple adjustable height vises and clamps, trays, scales, crucibles, mirrors… a large number of highly professional objects neatly placed around the desktop.
A large and bright window let the slightly dim twilight from outside penetrate the room, beside which rested a wall-sized wooden bookshelf, books of various types orderly arranged based on content difference, with little dust, clearly often flipped through.
Xia Nan glanced briefly towards the bookshelf, the contents he saw included various armor styles, weapon designs, crests, fabrics, regional style illustrations, historical biographies for studying equipnt evolution and aristocratic item appraisal, mineralogy and materials science…
Rather than an appraisal room, it looked more like an office or workshop.
For those low-level adventurers who ca from the countryside and never even visited Neum, just seeing the room’s professional setup would make them fully convinced of Downs as the association’s appraiser.
Without much change in facial expression, Xia Nan had to admit that with the appraisal room’s atmosphere, the first impression the counterpart gave was as a knowledgeable professional appraiser.
Moli consciously left the room, helping the two close the door.
Xia Nan sat across the table, firstly taking out the [Tide Rod] from the cotton cloth and placing it on the table.
Without wasting ti, he directly shared the information he saw on the attribute panel with the counterpart.
Similar to Rock Hamr Bane, this appraiser nad “Downs,” upon learning the extrely stringent usage conditions of the Stone Spear, showed no trace of disdain.
He ticulously checked the Stone Spear from the tip to the tail of the rod.
“It seems soone has already told you. Equipnt with such special effects is indeed more suitable for consignnt at the association.”
With a solemn and earnest expression, eyes focused behind the glasses, he scrutinized the wave-like patterns on the Stone Spear’s surface.
