Chapter 87 - Treasure Inspection ( 2 )

Cyril looked at the small eggs placed carefully on the stone platform.

They are currently full of dirt since it's a method used by the Ember Crows to avoid getting noticed by the Spark Apes who love eating them.

'Aside from selling them to researchers, there's really no one who would purchase this…' Cyril thought as he shifted his gaze to the three experts.

If he's not mistaken, these eggs will fall to the hands of the Awakened Association.

Apparently, even if these eggs managed to hatch in the real world, they wouldn't live that long! Perhaps a month or two at most.

As far as Cyril could recall, only after the Vampire Outbreak would make a sudden change in the planet. At that time, they would be able to raise magical creatures that were hatched in their world.

It means that as of now, purchasing these eggs wouldn't be that profitable at all. Only those researchers who wanted to study them and solve the mystery would purchase such things right now.

However, in the eyes of newbie Awakened, these eggs are very precious since they had an urge to hatch them and become the first magical beast tamer!

Though they are unaware of how difficult it could be, they would always dream that they would be fated to become different from other Awakened after all. Only those who are experienced would know how to accept reality.

"How lucky… I wonder if I could tame one of them someday." Myrtle muttered as she started daydreaming, imagining herself as she fights against magical creatures by commanding her Ember Crows…

That would indeed look somewhat cool…

"Next…" Axel said as he interrupted Myrtle's imagination.

Cyril then carried the bag that contains eighteen treasures!

"What? So many?"

"Impossible… Perhaps he knows someone in the Association?"

"It could be, he probably asked someone to tell him the location of the treasures."

"You guys… Just because his team has more treasures doesn't mean he cheated."

As Leon and the others tried to accuse Cyril of cheating, Evalia surprisingly took his side.

"Hmph!"

Leon was still bitter about this. After all, he even challenged Cyril about it. However, seeing that Cyril has more treasures, he didn't even dare to mention it.

Cyril only smirked at this as he ignored their cries.

'You think I'm cheating? You guys are too young… Even when I was your age, I wouldn't just accuse someone with that.'

When Cyril was still twelve years old, he had trauma after being falsely accused of stealing by someone in his class.

It wasn't that easy to recover from that as it took him several years to regain his confidence.

This is why he had very few friends, and most of them were even just work friends that he had to come to terms with because of the work environment like Jenny and Arvin.

Anyhow, Cyril calmly placed all the items on the platform to let the experts check them…

He didn't look at Leon or the others.

The best way to defeat this arrogant and self-centered person is for him to be ignored. Making him feel like he's not worthy of his attention.

"Y-you…"

Leon was enraged seeing how he was being treated.

Cyril noticed in the corner of his eyes that veins are already popping on Leon's temple. This was probably his first time being treated like this as B-Rank Awakened.

"Ehem… It's impossible to have someone in the Association to help Cyril."

At this time, a familiar soothing voice was heard behind the group…

"Ahh! Miss Vanessa…" Eron was the first to greet that beautiful lady. He was even blushing as he did this.

"Miss, how was it? Is everything safe?" Freymann immediately asked. He seemed to be confused seeing Vanessa and her bodyguards here.

"Well, don't worry… Those lizards wouldn't cause any more trouble here. There will no longer be any volcano eruptions from now on." Vanessa replied.

Cyril furrowed his brows as he tried to read between the lines. However, he didn't think too much of it as this might even be his last time to visit this Arcane World…

"Ohh! So many treasures? Is that all of your collections, Cyril?" Vanessa asked in surprise.

She decided to stop monitoring Cyril after he acquired his fifth treasure. This is because she realized that there aren't any strong Magical Creatures that could kill this man.

"No, not really… Miss Vanessa. This is through our combined effort." Cyril replied as he looked at Myrtle.

The latter almost denied her efforts but Cyril glared at her to stop her from talking.

"Haha… Good, let me inspect them."

Vanessa walked past their group leaving her fragrance on her path. Cyril even had the urge to ask Xagan whether this woman is using some kind of magic related to charms…

Soon, the items were revealed in front of Vanessa.

Axel was similarly checking them out and he seemed to be focused on one of the treasures that baffled even Cyril…

"Isn't this a Rank-B Magic Crystal? Did we actually hide it here as a price?" Vanessa was shocked seeing the Artifact in front of her.

"Ugh… That's also my question…" Axel groaned seeing that Vanessa was also clueless.

The highest rank of an item they've hidden in this Arcane World should be Rank-D!

As far as they know, it should even be located at the Volcano where the Mutated Fire Lizards are living!

They would never leave such a high-rank item in this Arcane World! They would rather have it used by their Awakened to complete high difficulty missions than to gather dust here.

Aside from that, why would they give it for free to these newbies!

As soon as Leon and the other heard Vanessa's words, everyone couldn't help but be shocked as they looked at the Crystal with envy and awe at the same time.

They also felt a bit regretful that they didn't find it themselves!

'Ugh! Why didn't I get this lucky?!' Leon shifted his eyes to Cyril who doesn't seem to care about the rank of one of his treasures!
