Chapter 570 - To The Auction
Sunders did not figure out how or where the nightmare aura was generated. So far, it seemed beneficial to both of them.
At the end of their testing session, Sunders recorded several more questions in his research notebook and ended their meeting there.
Angor put on the glove again and waved his right hand while feeling uncertain about it. He guessed that enhancing his illusions was a good thing. Even so, he felt uncomfortable and unsafe because the strength did not belong to him. Even though the outcome turned out to be desirable, it might not stay that way in the long run.
For now, Angor would consider his new ability a secret weapon used for surprising enemies, while at the same time, he wouldn’t rely on it too much because he might lose it someday.
Only knowledge and skill gained with diligence and effort was one’s own, true strength. He might have used his hologram tablet to “cheat” when drawing runes. Even so, with enough practice, he could very well complete most of the runes that he was familiar with without the machine’s help. In other words, he fully mastered the skills for real.
His right hand, however, came to him all of a sudden without going through any laborious endeavor. This wasn’t right.
He bid farewell to Sunders and returned to the soundproof room to finish his routine meditation. Once done, he took out his energy stabilizer and greyspace microbes as well as some supplementary materials. It was time to work on the storage items that he wanted to sell at the auction.
…
As planned, he finished his “Darkgold Butterfly” before nightfall.
Stepping out of the soundproof room, he felt tired and sleepy after all the labor he did. Even so, he couldn’t rest yet as he needed to head to the auction and send the items to be registered.
The sky was still bright with the color of dusk. He arrived at the main stage where Sky Auction would be held. It was one of the biggest structures in the main city district—a multi-floor tower with a giant, round roof.
A worker listened to Angor’s request and took him to the inspection room. There weren’t many people selling items this time, so he didn’t need to wait for very long.
The Sky Auction had a restriction that denied items below a certain price level.
Angor’s Bloodrose Vein and storage items easily earned a pass. Meanwhile, according to the appraiser, his necklaces would be displayed earlier in the queue since they were less important compared to the other items, which was totally expected.
Once everything was handed in, Angor prepared to leave the inspection room and return to the manor.
But he halted his movement when a familiar figure came into his view.
