"Shard, how many academic credits is the Academy planning to reward you with for this operation?"
After lamenting the dangers of the Relic, the doctor asked.
"I haven't submitted the report yet, the Academy said they will give me an answer after I turn in my report, but it's probably around 10 credits."
The Poet-Level Relic "Infinite Mercury Bottle" is worth about four or five credits, while this Scribe Level Relic is worth about seven or eight credits on its own.
The reason Shard could receive 10 credits this time is that he could also submit a complete artifact recovery report, and mention a brand-new method of relic recovery in the report, instead of merely "selling" the Relic to the Academy. The report Shard has yet to write will be entered into the Academy Library. It will not only be of great reference for this Relic but also for the containment of similar-type relics, which is actually the value of knowledge.
"That makes 15 credits in total!"
