Chapter 43 Appraisal (II)

The two future colleagues/sympathetic rookies have a good conversation and agree to help each other when Karazhan joins the ranks of the contractors who have already made the mark:

"It's an honor to work with you, Teacher. As I said before, I'm currently a bard, because my ability is to briefly and slightly influence the emotions of the characters. โ€

"Thank you, doctor, for the honor it was me. My ability is to control small animals like sparrows as temporary messengers. โ€

"I hope it will help you during the cooperation."

"This is also my expectation, in the cold world of space, if our charismatic contractors don't help each other, no one will help us."

Finally, Finley said with emotion. In Jin Shaolan's opinion, his feelings should be true.

"The characters in the plot like us very much, but, hell, we can't eat it if we like it." He ended the conversation with a smile and politely shook Jin Shaolan goodbye.

Bidding farewell to Finley, Jin Shaolan returned to the center of the room. He felt that he understood Finley's code name for himself, "Teacher". When Finley looked at the two innocent and generous children of the Baron family with a smile, his eyes were full of the eagerness and pride of a good teacher for his students. But he quickly put that behind him, flipped his palm, and pulled a gem from the Nightmare Mark.

That's why Tabesa came to see him after sending away his servants. "Gem with remnants of magical power", at this point in the item information, its "to be identified" suffix has been changed to "Identified: Coarse".

"Gemstones with remnants of magical power (identified: coarse)

Equipment Type: Accessories

Origin:???

Equipment Rarity: White.

Equipment Effect: Intelligence +1

Equipment Requirements: None

Material: Calcium-iron silicate (demantoid) ,???

Weight: 4.2 carats.

Combat Score: 4"

"Hint: a relic of a syndicate mercenary mini-boss - knowing that, I think you know what to do, man.

Of course, you can also try to keep it for yourself, if you think your talent on the magical path is enough. โ€

"Hint: A high-level mage of Dalaran has done a superficial appraisal of it, and it's clear that, due to the short amount of time, her investigation of it will of course only yield the most basic results.

Don't you really think about continuing to work with her?! Oh my God, are you a mad genius or a demented idiot? โ€

"Description: This is a fragment of a gemstone, and from this small fragment it can be seen that it must have been a rare treasure for mortals before it was broken. However, its beauty and power are no longer there, and only this shattered fragment can still feel some kind of faint energy. โ€

"It's really interesting, and it really validates my suspicions," Tabesa told him as she returned the "Gem of Residual Magical Power" to Jin Shaolan. "Thank you very much for your willingness to cut love, even if it's only temporarily and reluctantly~" she said evilly, satisfied with the young elf's helplessness and knee-jerk reaction to clenching the gem tighter, "Well, as a small thank you, I also made a preliminary appraisal of it." โ€

Jin Shaolan pursed her lips and smiled embarrassedly, but she still lovingly held the gem in her palm and did not let go.

Today is a very pleasant and smooth day! The eldest sister then took his leave and told him, "My colleague in charge of the investigation in Karazhan should be able to give you some more practical advice on this gem." Well, have a nice day in Karazhan, little boy~"

As she spoke, she took the initiative to close the door and shut Jin Shaolan, who didn't know what to do, to react.

That's it, Jin Shaolan, who had just entered the space, gave up the task chain with a very promising prospect...... He can't afford to receive money and prestige and give up a piece of equipment, on the premise that he is destined to have nothing to do with "combat effectiveness".

It is also for this reason that Jin Shaolan gave up the follow-up mission, and the space has a certain amount of compensation - that is, the equipment was preliminarily identified by the hand of Tabesa, even if there is actually only one "intelligence +1" identified. But considering that the normal intelligence of ordinary people is only 5 points, so Rao is intelligence +1 has already made Jin Shaolan very satisfied.

That's right, as the result of the discussion between "Three Soldiers" and others, "Whoever you want" (the original words of Dumbfounded) can foresee that as long as the mission completes a three-ring, the income will be enough to make up for this equipment, not to mention that the mission description has already hinted that this equipment will be returned to the contractor who did the mission after the mission is over, and the second new hint that currently appears in the gem's item description strongly implies that it still has considerable room for improvement as a piece of equipment.

But #first you have to do the triple ring#=. =|||

However, none of this actually makes any sense to our clients. Not because he can't do anything about the follow-up mission, nor because of the equipment attributes that the gems have been identified.

Sitting alone in the yellowish candlelight of the room, Jin Shaolan took out the identified gems and played with them, and the more she looked at them, the more she loved them.

In the early morning of the next day, Jin Shaolan and Finley visited this vibrant town with great interest. Because of the two "windfalls" of Jin Shaolan and Finley, Bauer insisted on running to the local tavern to take another look. Of course, he soon returned with regret, saying that he was afraid that there would be no other helpers with apprenticeship qualifications to help Karazhan here, and he was ready to stop participating in the recruitment and leave directly with the former poet Wind Seeker and the former governess Finley.

Before the breakup, Jin Shaolan suddenly realized that the "Sunshine Forest" where Chenguang Town is located is not the original owner of Ms. Tarbesa's enviable magic hat, Ms. Margaret Hamilton, who is crazy about "The Wizard of Oz", where her magic tower was originally located? He finally couldn't resist suggesting to Tabeza that he said:

"Ma'am, your necklace is a beautiful piece of jewelry that is a work of art, and if I'm not mistaken, it's a powerful magical item, right? Such a precious thing should be taken care of. โ€

"Makes sense." Tabesa couldn't help but groan, and she thought to herself, "Anyway, I don't need the help of the crown anymore, I think I should keep it away when I go back this time."

"Rather than wearing it every day and only serving the purpose of one piece of jewelry, it's better to leave it at home."

โ€ฆโ€ฆ In this way, when she waved goodbye to Sister Tabesa, Jin Shaolan was embarrassed......

So "not long after" Veresa stole it while you were out...... Did I say something I shouldn't have said..................(:ะท"โˆ )_
