Blacksmiths and alchemists were divided into ranks depending on what stage they were at. But, blacksmiths and alchemists were also given stars, up to a maximum of 5. Weapons and some medicines were also given stars in addition to rank.

The appraiser said the 'Dark Reaper' was a three-star weapon of rank one. This was an excellent result, as four-star weapons were almost impossible to find. There were very few such high-end craftsmen, and many of them only completed a few orders a year.

Afterward, Evan gave the appraiser a few more items to check. Some were one-star, and others were two-star. Evan applied Mammon's Gaze to these and roughly understood how the grading system worked.

Evan was pleasantly surprised because now he could rate things himself and know how rare and valuable they were. He supposed that he might not rate some things, but that wasn't a problem.

.

Evan thought and walked out of the appraisal store. He was going to sell all the unnecessary items he'd taken from the Paper Hydrangea's vault, but not here.

Evan headed toward the largest and most upscale appraisal center. Many wealthy people lived in Vextin, and they often used an appraiser. Over time, there were more appraisers, and the competition between them increased. Eventually, the main appraisal center in Vextin became - Diamond Eye.

It was a real guild of only appraisers. The services of the highest-ranking appraiser cost one platinum coin. It was an incredible sum, but Vextin's elite could afford it. At this point, for Evan, such a sum was practically nothing.

After a while, Evan made his way to the Diamond Eye. It was a massive building that looked more like a palace.

Evan walked up to the entrance and was immediately stopped. Even to enter the Diamond Eye, one had to give ten gold coins.

In small towns where people had almost no money, everyone just passed the coins from hand to hand. Larger towns used special cards and the banking system. But, in towns like Vextin, no one would leave their money and things in the bank. It was too unsafe.

The mage always had all of his belongings with him in his spatial ring. So Vextin had its own different system from the bank.

To pay the entrance fee, Evan had to touch a special seal with his spatial ring. At that moment, he had to move the right amount mentally, and that was it.

After Evan paid his entrance fee, he went inside.

"Diamond Eye was one of the wealthiest organizations in Vextin, yet the interior was not flashy. The architects and designers cleverly used precious metals and rare materials to create a great atmosphere in the main hall.

Evan headed for the head appraiser at the guild. Evan was going to sell a huge amount of items for an incredible amount of money. Evan would have to pay the appraiser quite a bit, but he would get many times that amount.

Click.

Evan walked into a spacious room, a middle-aged man with a long beard was sitting at a table. He was quietly drinking green tea and gazing intently at some crystal. A few meters away from him was a large platform, and next to it were tables with all the necessary tools.

Tools were an important part of an appraiser's job, but not the main one. The best appraisers rely mostly on their knowledge, experience, and, most importantly, their eyes. Almost all appraisers, by nature, had incredible eyesight. Even in their old age, they could see better than teenagers.

The main evaluator's name was Svein Stavig. When Evan walked in, and he slowly rose from his chair and calmly said,

"Good afternoon, young man, it's not often you meet such wealthy young men. Where are you from?

"

Thought Evan, and the next moment, his spatial ring glowed.

He tossed Svein one platinum coin and said briefly:

"I'm from Inlas.

"

Even though Inlas was one of the most criminal cities in The Kingdom of Fallen Hopes, Svein was not surprised. People from all over the kingdom came to him, many nobles and powerful mages. He even had a 'Merciful Death' officer visit him once. Svein has seen people of all kinds.

"All right, I see you know how to behave. Put everything on the platform, and I'll tell you the price in a little while.

"

Evan nodded and pulled out a set of caskets from the ring. Each box contained ten spatial rings. Even Svein was a little surprised by this many things.

"Not bad young man, not bad,

" Svein said, looking at the boxes.

Evan alternately began to put on the ring and put all the contents on the platform. In time a whole mountain of various Catalysts, materials, armor, and artifacts formed on the platform.

The mountain was growing, and it seemed as if Evan had an infinite amount of things. Ring after ring emptied out until finally, the last things fell onto the mountain. Then Evan threw about a hundred spatial rings into that mountain, which he no longer needed.

He turned to Svein and said,

"Everyone, how long will the assessment last?

"

Evan realized that there were a lot of things, and it would take Svein a long time to check and evaluate each one. But, to his surprise, the appraiser shook his head.

"Not very long. It'll all be ready in five minutes.

" Svein said calmly.

Evan was surprised by this answer. He didn't believe it was possible. There were several thousand different things on the platform. Svein had to estimate a hundred things a second if he wanted to make it in five minutes.

However, Svein was extremely serious. He was not going to evaluate each thing separately, he had a way to do it all at once.

Whooosh.

"Warp,

" Svein spun, and he began casting the spell. He was a mage at the stage - the 'One-Pointed Star.'

Suddenly two blue magic circles appeared before his eyes. Thousands of blue threads emerged from them and headed toward the objects on the platform. One of the threads touched Svein.

When Evan absorbed knowledge from 20,000 books, he had a terrible headache. Now Svein was experiencing something similar, though if he weren't capable of it, he wouldn't be the best appraiser at Vextin.

After a while, the spell stopped working, and with a sigh, Svein said,

"Four minutes and fifty seconds. It could have been faster.

"

"What's the price?

" Evan asked.

Svein smiled and said,

"I have to say, I've only seen this much stuff a couple of times. I'll have a headache for a few more days for sure. I'll give you 50 million gold coins or 500,000 platinum coins for all of this.

"

.

"Fine, I want platinum coins, all 500,000 of them.
