"This…"

Vincent wasn't sure what to say to this intelligent lady.

If he would make a guess, the sudden transfer of information to his brain was done through some kind of soul technique. This is probably why Therese felt it and guessed that he's an Aura Knight.

However, does it mean that she's also an Aura Knight? He's unsure of the answer but it seems that she's indeed capable of detecting any soul force or aura.

As he was thinking of what to answer, they heard a knock on the door.

"Manager, there are people from the Blood Mist Sect at the Appraisal Hall… They wanted to sell their bloodstones and spirit stones… None of us can appraise its value, we need your help."

The voice from the other side caught their attention.

Realizing that it is an opportunity for Vincent to leave, he immediately spoke.

"I'm not really keeping it a secret, Manager Therese. I will leave now since you still have some matter you need to attend to."

"Hmph… Stop right there. Come with me."As soon as she said this, she put her attention on the person outside.

"I'll be there in a minute. Make sure to properly serve these people from the Blood Mist Sect and don't allow them to find a reason to cause trouble."

"Yes, Manager."

As soon as the man heard her instructions, he immediately returned to the Appraisal Hall.

"M-manager Therese, do you need me there as well?"

"Yes… It will be a good experience for you. I'm sure that you haven't seen a bloodstone or spirit stones yet."

"That's true… Are they rare or something?" Vincent curiously asked.

"They are difficult to find… Anyway, these Spirit Stones can only be handled by special craftsmen."

Therese paused as she looked at Vincent intently before she continued.

"It was said that it has the power to increase the quality or power of a weapon. Interesting, right?"

Vincent's eyes lit up as soon as she said this.

Based on her description, it is most likely the Ascension Crystal that he was looking for!

He has been trying to find out the Ascension Crystal's equivalent item of this world and it hasn't been fruitful even after going to a library.

He didn't expect that he would find it out today!

He was excited about this since a single Ascension attempt consumes 300 units of mana and it wasn't even a hundred percent success rate!

So far, he only managed to ascend three items with him. The Soul-Forged Ironbark Cane, the Silver Ruin Dagger, and his Poison Immunity Talisman.

If he managed to get access to these Spirit Stones that are likely to be Ascension Crystals, he would have more spare units of mana for his enhancements.

"It's interesting. Take me with you, Manager." Vincent then returned the human-skin book on the shelf as he followed Therese to the Appraisal Hall.

However, before they could get there, someone blocked their path.

"Hmm? You two seem to be often together. I don't think this is appropriate, Manager Therese."

Maurice said as he angrily looked at Vincent.

Whenever he would look for Therese, Vincent would often be with her. Although they have over ten years of age gap, Maurice couldn't help but think that they doing inappropriate things and it was gnawing at him every day.

However, since he knows that Vincent truly has a connection with the Count, he didn't dare to reprimand him. Nevertheless, as soon as he saw them close together and chatting merrily, he couldn't help but snap and berated them.

"Maurice… What are you saying?" Therese was surprised after hearing what he just said. She wanted to scold him since she's still the manager of this branch. However, the latter just quickly left after saying what he wanted.

"Tsk… I'll deal with him later. Vincent, let's go."

Seeing his retreating figure, she can only continue going to the Appraisal Hall in her bad mood.

On the other hand, Vincent remained composed as he appears to be deep in his thoughts…

***

The two of them arrived at one of the reception rooms where guests with valuable items are being served.

The room is guarded by two security personnel that is at the level of Magic Knight. This won't normally happen unless the strength of the people inside is at a similar or higher level.

"Manager Therese… I'm sorry to trouble you."

There are currently five people in the room. The three members of the Blood Mist Sect and two Junior Appraisers.

The one who greeted Therese was Cedric, who was in the same batch as Vincent.

"It's alright, Cedric. You've been doing well over the past couple of weeks. You've only requested help today." Therese praised the young man.

Aside from Vincent with his unusual Appraisal Method, Cedric was also someone who can be the next Resident Appraiser of the Guardian's Auction House so Therese was also paying attention to this man.

'If his Lesser Truth Eye can't appraise the Spirit Stones and Bloodstones properly, it either tampered or the purity is too high…'

Therese thought as he looked at the two small wooden boxes on the table.

As for the Blood Mist Sect members, they just remained silent and calm.

They are all hiding their faces and they most likely didn't identify which sect they came from but everyone here knows their Sect.

Anyway, since the Auction House has a rule, they can't reject people who are trying to sell precious items even if they have a shady background.

"Let's not make them wait for long then. Vincent, do you want to appraise it?"

Therese suddenly suggested. Of course, everyone glanced at him after hearing this.

'Why not?' He thought.

He wanted to immediately try and appraise it, however, he suddenly recalled that Beast Cores that are treated as Enhancement Stones can't be appraised! So with that in mind, Spirit Stones must be something that he can't appraise as well if they are really Ascension Crystals.

More than that, they were actually trying to know the value or price at which they could sell these and Vincent has no answer to that. He has no idea how much they were in the first place.

After thinking for a moment and weighing his options, Vincent answered.

"Alright… Let me try appraising them first."

He wanted to try his Advanced Appraisal Skill after all.

Cedric then smiled as soon as he heard this.

"Great, we have listed in this paper what we've found out so far. Let's compare our appraisal after, Vincent."

Cedric's competitive spirit was ignited as he suddenly started looking forward to this.
