Novel Full Chapter 149 Mystical Artifacts
“Mhmm… A support-type mystical item would be good. Do you have something similar to Rain Feather Anklet or Nymph Scale?” Vale asked before Priscilla and Philip could even think of an answer. 𝙡𝓪.𝒄
“Oh? Those two can be used to increase your movement speed. They’re quite a popular product since their blueprint has been spread out over 50 years ago.” Manager Marion nodded as he gestured for them to sit.
“Mark, get the Murloc’s Gem and the Nymph Scale that we have.” He added as he looked at his assistant.
Mark simply nodded at this instruction and left to take the said items.
The third floor is actually quite empty.
There were only a total of four shelves and only 20 items were displayed on each of them. It means that they only have 80 mystical items in total.
It wasn’t a bad number considering that this place isn’t a hotspot for Arcane Arts Practitioners.
While the assistant was working, Marion’s attention shifted to the other two.
“Do you want to take a look at the shelves or do you have something in mind?” He asked.
“I’ll take a look first. I don’t really have anything in mind right now.” Philip said as he stood up to check the shelves.
On the other hand, Priscilla has already considered what to purchase and asked.
“If you have an Unaging Cream, I would like to have a few of them. I’ll give it to my mother as a gift. I won’t use it, Vale. So don’t look at me like that.”
“Cough… Cough… I was simply surprised since the Unaging Cream wasn’t taught in class.” Vale immediately said.
To be honest, he really thought that Priscilla would want to use it. It baffled him for a brief moment and looked at her suspiciously since she was too young to use such a beauty product.
It seems he was thinking too much…
“Haha… Good timing… I have just made a batch of them. They were quite popular among the ladies here in the city. As I promised, I’ll give it to you at a discounted price.”
With that said, Manager Marion left his seat to enter his room on the third floor. It seems to be his laboratory as well where he makes his potions or crafts mystical items.
Soon, the Assistant returned with two items in his hands.
One of them is a blue gem with a tiny silver blade of grass frozen inside. On its side is a small green scale that seems like a talisman.
They were the Murloc’s Gem and the Nymph’s Scale.
“May I ask the difference between the two items?” Vale asked.
Although he already entered his Phantasm State and confirmed that they have both swirling blue energy inside them, he only knows that they both assist in the wearer’s speed.
“Of course… While the nymph scale only increases your running speed and stamina, the murloc’s gem increases your agility and dexterity.” The assistant explained.
If Vale wasn’t mistaken, the increase in dexterity means getting better with his hands. It is either through wielding weapons or just by performing tasks using hands.
In a sense, it dictates his attack speed while using a weapon.
As for the agility itself, it increases his body’s nimbleness or quickness in his motions.
“In terms of running speed, the gem can probably provide me with a better result…” Vale muttered.
“You’re right… There’s no doubt about that. It is commonly used by scouts or messengers in the military. However, the gem can provide a more balanced increase in your speed.” Mark answered as he pointed out that the Murloc’s Gem is the better option.
“May I know about their price?”
“Let’s wait for Manager Marion for the price.” The assistant replied with a stiff smile…
Vale wryly smiled as he glanced at the shelves. There’s no price tag on them.
It means they don’t know whether they really received a discount on their items since the Alchemist can simply say the price and tell them that it’s discounted as they have no way to prove otherwise.
They can only trust that this shop wouldn’t scam them. Anyway, they still have a business partnership with the shop so Vale doubts that they’ll want to trick them just for the sake of earning a little money.
It didn’t take long before Manager Marion arrived.
He brought three small containers of the Unaging Cream. Vale also noticed that its brand name was Ageless Beauty Cream.
“I only have these three since all the others have been pre-ordered. However, since this cream is only meant for ordinary folks–Ahem… I mean, if aging is caused by mysticism, it may not be helpful. ”
“Alright… That should be enough. I will take it.” Priscilla replied as she also asked for its price. They were 85 zen each which is quite expensive and perhaps, only rich merchants and nobles can only afford them. 𝑖𝑟𝘦.𝒸𝘰𝘮
Nevertheless, since this is a product of a genuine alchemist, it can still be considered cheap from another perspective.
Again, no one knows whether this is a discounted price or not.
Manager Marion then focused on Vale’s items as he described the items in great detail.
Through this, Vale learned the limitations of the items.
The Murloc’s Gem can only be used twice a day and needed to be submerged in water for at least 2 hours every day. If not, the next time he used it, the gem might lose control. Instead of increasing his speed, it might increase his heartbeat speed or his blood flow instead.
As for the Nymph Scale, it can’t always be placed on his body as he might grow some scales after some time. It has to leave his body for at least 3 hours before he can wear it once again…
Vale sighed at these effects as he realized that these items were indeed not the same common low-grade mystical items he had seen before.
“With those side effects, I guess that these items are at least Mortal-Class artifacts, right?”
