Chapter 187 Coins

"Vincent, I heard that your job at the Appraisal Hall is doing well… You even gained a nickname… Was it the Sightless Evaluator?" Professor Levent said with a teasing voice after the two were left within the Arcane Mysteries Lecture Hall.

"Ugh… I didn't even know that. I was just too immense with my Appraisals. That's all. Haha…" Vincent awkwardly laughed after hearing the Professor's Voice within his mind.

Up until now, he was still unaware of where she is because of his limited senses… However, the professor has finally decided to stand closer to him!

Based on his Soul Sense and Item Sense, she should be a head taller than him. He could only tell this because he 'sensed' that her hair ribbon is actually a Magic Tool.

It was a pity that he still can't see this woman with an angelic voice so he couldn't help but sigh.

"Hmm? What's with the long sigh? Do you have some problems you want to tell? Although I'm only your Professor, I can still help you if you have some difficulties." Professor Levent said.

Most of her students have disabilities after all. So she's already used to helping them or giving them some advice if they needed someone to talk to.

Vincent hesitated for a moment unsure how to answer her. However, since this opportunity came, he needed to make use of it.

"Professor, I'm actually in need of money… Platinum Coins to be exact. Do you have an idea of any method where I could earn them?"

Vincent asked. The Platinum Coins that he is trying to earn are not for the Nexus Auction House. The Auction House only accepts Mana Crystals as their currency after all.

The Platinum Coins are apparently for the Celestial Beings.

It must be remembered that the origin of the Platinum Coin was rumored to be from the home of the Celestials. It was rumored that it was the money they were using with their internal transactions…

Of course, Vincent learned about it and asked the two Celestials following him. As expected, the rumors are actually true and he learned how he could use these Platinum Coins.

However, before he could use it, he obviously needed to own them first!

"Platinum Coins, huh… It's not easy to earn them… However, I know of a method to get some. But, what would you use them for?"

Professor Levent curiously asked.

Vincent's face lit up after hearing that she truly has a method to obtain Platinum Coins. The only reason he decided to ask him about this is the rumor he recently heard within the Appraisal Hall.

The rumor says that she's actually one of the richest people here within the tower.

Most of her earnings didn't come from her job as a Professor but as a pioneer explorer of dungeons!

The dungeons were unlike the Celestial Beings or the Demihumans that have arrived on this world. Based on what he learned in this class, the Dungeons were originally from this world and it seems to have a connection with the ancient civilization of magicians that have disappeared in this world. It would explain the existence of most of the Magic Artifacts that can no longer be recreated.

That's right, their Arcane Mysteries Class touched this subject as he learned about the rich history of this world.

Anyway, it appears that Professor Levent made several successful explorations that allowed her to become what she is now.

"I'm planning to use it to get closer to a Celestial Being." Vincent answered.

"Huh? Do you think that would be easy? Where would you even find them?"

"I'll worry about it once I have the coins, Professor."

"That's… Ah. Anyway, I don't think that would be easy. As you know, the Platinum Coins are connected to the Celestials. The rumor about it being used by them is most likely true. However, after the Second Rapture, the value of Platinum Coins greatly lessened. Most of them weren't using it anymore so it started coming into our hands."

"It's fine… I might be able to find a Celestial that has a use for them…" Vincent answered.

He also realized that although Professor Turhan informed her about his identity, the man did not tell her about the two Celestial Beings following him.

Well, that should probably be for the best to avoid unnecessary troubles.

"Hmm… Very well, I already thought of a method that you can do. You're an Appraiser, right? Furthermore, Professor Turhan informed me that you have incredible skills in modifying or strengthening potions…"

'Oh? Professor Turhan said that? It was probably something he learned from the Zemin Clan.' Vincent mused.

"Yeah… I'm confident in my skills." Vincent answered. His voice was filled with confidence as he was trying to sell himself. He can't appear lacking now.

"Oh? Even if you're now blind?"

"Yes… As long as you give me some time, I'm confident that I can do it." Vincent replied.

After thinking for a moment, he immediately added, "Of course, I can't do this on a whim as well. I needed time to study it and I can't do this repeatedly."

Well, he tried making his skill appear to be a technique reliable but can't be used as he wishes but he's unsure whether it succeeded. Anyway, this should've given a hint to Professor Levent already.

"Alright then… I was previously thinking of sending you to the Fifteenth Tower since they require a skillful appraiser that focuses on determining durabilities and hidden effects… I guess I should just make you work for me… I do have platinum coins as well after all."

Vincent was stunned after hearing her previous plans.

It was good that he didn't have to be sent to the Fifteenth Tower. Although he thinks that there would not be any problem once he worked at that tower, the fact that they were doing inhumane experiments there, might affect his mind and he might do something stupid.

It's better to avoid that place for now until he gets his eyesight back and gets stronger.

"Thank you, Professor Levent. Please tell me what I should do."

"Follow me… It's within my chamber." Levent said as she escorted Vincent to her personal area within the First Tower.
