Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

It appears that luck was on his side.

The seller of the Tier 4 Rejuvenation Pill wanted five Epic-Rank Accessories that could stop mind-controlling abilities like charm skill, hypnosis, or illusion. Furthermore, a couple of Pseudo-Legendary Accessories that have related abilities can also be accepted as an alternative.

If it was the latter, the seller promised that he would also concoct Tier 4 Pills for the buyer as long as they provide the ingredients. This promise can be used three times!

Offering two Pseudo-Legendary was indeed tempting but for it to have a non-combat skill, it would be very difficult to find them.

It's easier to find weapons with offensive skills than accessories with support skills after all.

Of course, this isn't a problem for Vincent who had hundreds of high-level items in his Obsidian Treasure Box.

He has a couple of items that have reached Pseudo Legendary with similar effects.

The first one is an amulet that has 135 points in Intelligence Attribute. Vincent already knows that having higher intelligence could also provide natural protection against mind-controlling abilities. This amulet was previously just an Uncommon Item with 3 points in intelligence and has now become Pseudo-Legendary.

The other one is a brooch that was previously a rare item with a passive ability called Clarity Fragrance. With Clarity Fragrance, most mental attacks like confusion, dizziness, or hypnosis would not be effective. Of course, there is a side effect to this passive skill which is that it would consume the durability of the brooch every time it successfully negates a mental attack.

Nevertheless, these two items still won the bid making Vincent or his balcony the center of attention.

***

Inside a VIP room.

"Who are those people?" A woman in her forties couldn't help but ask after hearing about the completion of the 76th transaction.

She has long white hair and a monocle on her left eye as she looked at Vincent's group. Her professional aura and white hair can be easily recognized by many people. She's Faviona and a Tier 5 Alchemist.

"The young man is a student at the First Tower's academy. Our records say that his name is Vincent, a blind person. The other man is a low-ranking member of the Hunter Organization. As for the beautiful woman beside them, we aren't sure. She was probably taken by the two to be used as their stress reliever or something. She doesn't appear to be a mana practitioner as per our security personnel."

An old man, who is also one of the managers of the nexus auction house, answered. He can be easily recognized as a manager because of Nexus coat he was wearing.

He appears to be very respectful to the woman as he answered almost immediately.

Within the VIP room, there were a total of eight people including Faviona and the old manager. Damar, the Chief Artificer of the 27th Tower is also there. He's currently inspecting the knife that Vincent had traded with the Interspatial Ring.

Apparently, he was the one who traded that item with Vincent. He seems very satisfied with the knife as if he found a new toy he could play with.

He is a bulky bald man in his fifties but has a long black beard.

The other five within the room were their security escorts and personal attendants.

Damar then looked at Faviona who seemed to be interested in Vincent's group.

"Are you curious about the weapons they have? This knife and that two Pseudo-Legendary Items were quite interesting, isn't it? Should we try to find out his secret?"

Damar probed the woman beside him.

He's a Magic Artificer already but he was still unable to find the secret of the dark knife. How could such a thin knife be this sharp?

He tried using his Epic Appraisal Glass but it didn't work well. He could barely get information from it.

He then called this old manager for help since he supposedly has a high-level appraiser-type Mystic Eyes. Unfortunately, even this old man could only tell that it was extremely sharp and weak against magic as Yasin reminded.

Regarding its composition, durability, creator, and attributes, none of them could be found.

"We can probably ask them later on… I want to inspect the two Pseudo-Legendary Accessories first." Faviona said as the VIP room's door opened.

A couple of attendants carrying the brooch and amulet walked to their side. Although she already received a report from the appraisers of the Auction House. She still wanted to test it.

Yes, she's the owner of the Tier 4 Rejuvenation Pill.

"Did you give the communication crystal?" She asked one of the attendants as she held the brooch.

"Yes. He also asked about the name of the Alchemist he should look for, but as you requested, we did not mention your name. I told them I would be the one dealing with their request in case they wanted to commission a Tier 4 Pill."

"Hmm… I see. But I guess that's not important anymore, I might need to meet them. I have a strange feeling that their group possesses more high-level items." Faviona muttered as she confirmed the effectiveness of the two accessories.

After wearing the brooch and the amulet, she felt refreshed.

'Let's test it…'

She then pulled out a mirror that could hypnotize the person being reflected.

She put it in front of her face and as soon as she saw her reflection, she braced for the hypnotism to take effect. However, it did not affect her at all even for a second… This shocked her as she seem to have underestimated the power of the two Pseudo-Legendary Accesorries.

p The mirror just looks like a normal one or it appears to have lost its magic.

She then pointed it to the servant who was just speaking…

Whom~

The man's eyes lost their focus as he stood silently. The Hypnotism took effect.

Everyone noticed what happened as they looked at Faviona.

"Hahaha! I told you, we need to meet them. Perhaps, if we paid them enough, they could spill which dungeon they acquired these artifacts." Damar said with a laugh as he noticed Faviona's fervent gaze at the two accessories.
