Historian and the Flute
Numerous questions swirled in Philip's mind. Was Doug's support and his own experience sufficient to deceive the collectors who could discern complex emotions?
Philip harbored a hunch that some collectors had discovered his ruse and were now casting a suspicious eye upon him. He was convinced that Mr. Aven Hitter, the leader of the Sorrows Guild, somehow sensed that Philip had been putting on an act.
This suspicion was not unfounded. Aven Hitter was the first collector Philip had met and talked face-to-face, back when he was still a novice in mentalism and hadn't yet been tutored by Doug.
"Is it really true that a level three enhancement formula equates to a common orb? I feel like I've been scammed," Philip muttered, his brow furrowing in consternation.
Checking the system's store, the price of that enhancement formula played around 10,000,000 experience points—a hefty sum just for a common orb.
