New Artifacts

Bonnie's husband, who died in a Low-Class Arcane World, has several F-Rank Artifacts.

These items can be sold for a high price at this time but Bonnie decided to keep them though she doesn't have plans of becoming an Arcane Explorer.

"I think these items will help you…"

She wanted to keep them by her side but as she recognized Cyril's talent, she knows that her husband would also agree to her decision.

It is better to have these Artifacts used instead of letting them gather some dust.

"This…" Cyril didn't think that his Aunt would actually let him use them. He knows how precious they are for her.

"You can have these. Though they are only Rank F and E Artifacts, they will help you in low-class Arcane Worlds. I know that you can get better pieces of equipment if you decided to join a guild or perhaps the Association. However, I want you to consider it carefully, being bounded by guilds will not be easy…" Bonnie sincerely advised.

Cyril has good potential and she didn't want him to be tied on a guild so easily. He might regret it someday and she wanted him to avoid that.

"Thank you, Aunt Bonnie! I will take care of them…" Cyril didn't hesitate to accept them.

He recently looked at the prices of the Artifacts online and he knows how expensive they are. So he couldn't reject the offer at the moment. He really doesn't have much money with him and he already spent most of his savings to purchase the ingredients needed for the potion.

It was also not surprising that these Artifacts were only at Rank F and Rank E although her late husband was at D-Rank. After all, the prices of Artifacts at that level would double or triple the price of Rank F Artifacts.

Because of this knowledge, Cyril decided to keep them.

"Here, take a look…"

His aunt placed the items on before leaving to cook their breakfast…

"Thank you… Ah! I won't be eating breakfast… I'm not hungry yet. I'll go out after checking them." Cyril said as Bonnie left to the kitchen.

As the young man was left alone in the living room. He finally had the time to check the items.

By using his aura, he would recognize the names of these items but aside from that, he would have to check them online.

If he wanted to learn more about the Artifacts or Items within the Arcane World, he would need to have an Artifact with Appraisal Ability.

They are quite rare so he can only trust the website of the Awakened to identify them.

As he removed that cloth, he realized that he doesn't have to search the website or even use his Aura to identify the items.

With his decade of experience in the low-class Arcane World, he can easily recognize the items in front of him.

The first item that caught his attention was the Goblin Mage's Crystal. This item is worth about 200,000 Ains the last time he checked. This crystal allows any Awakened to convert their Aura into Magic of whatever spell was placed in the Crystal.

Based on his experience, goblin mages would normally place a fireball spell or an acid splash in the crystal. This Rank F Crystal can only store a single Magic but it's very convenient if used correctly.

Cyril didn't think that his late Uncle would have this item.

Then, the other one is the Goblin's Dagger worth 100,000 Ains in the market. The dagger is not simple as they were enchanted by the mages to make them extremely sharp and can penetrate the thin aura of the Awakened.

Finally, he checked the only Rank D Artifact.

It is an Item called Runed Boomerang.

This is actually not a common weapon that can be found in the Arcane World. Apparently, this boomerang is made by some Awakened using a Ravager Wolf's horn as a base.

Throughout the years of exploration in all the Arcane Worlds, many Awakened with amazing crafting skills have appeared and discovered many useful things in each world.

Since firearms could not be brought inside, the people have accepted that they have to adapt to the Arcane Worlds and use whatever they could to survive.

They have started experimenting with mystical materials that were found in each world and created many kinds of weapons.

Most of them were actually failed products and couldn't provide any magical effects.

However, there are still a few of them like this Runed Boomerang that has impressive abilities like other Artifacts that can be found inside the Arcane World.

Cyril felt a bit excited to get inside an Arcane World and try these weapons.

'Haa~ I want to use them now…' He wanted to see the difference between being an S-Rank and F-Rank within the Arcane World as quickly as possible. However, he still has to go with his current plans even with the weapons he has.

After all, the amount of money that he'll earn in selling healing potion is no joke as well.

Anyway, he decided to keep the dagger with him and left the Crystal and the Boomerang inside his room.

Finally, after letting his Aunt know that he's going out, he immediately headed to the nearest train station to visit his first target to sell his potion.

For now, his first target is one of the leaders of the Saint Torido Clan… The guild that has the Arcane World where the Vampires are living…
