Vincent appraised the item using his System Skill and was shocked by the result… His Mana Sensitivity didn't lie at all.

"Sealed? What's this?"

Vincent muttered as this is the first time he had encountered a Sealed Item. Of course, he was also interested in the fact that it was forged using the mysterious Bloodstone.

He didn't know that the Bloodstones has such a purpose after all.

However, its Sealed state seems to be more important considering about half of its attributes can't be used because of that.

There are 80 points sealed from the Critical Attributes and 40 points sealed on the Dagger Insight. As for the Corruption Attribute, it was completely sealed which is quite disappointing.

He has been looking for a weapon with this attribute after all.

"Hmm? You were able to appraise it so quickly? Do you have the rumored Eye of Truth? The finest Mystic Eyes on our record?"

Abe asked in surprise.

Although Vincent spoke softly, they definitely heard him.

Vincent was stunned for a moment before he shook his head.

"I don't have that mythical Mystic Eyes… In any case, I still need a bit of time to appraise it fully…"

Vincent replied as he tried to recall if he had ever encountered a skill similar to Vampiric Strike…

However, after going through his memories, he can't recall any skill name similar to this.

Vincent sighed as he played around with the dagger…

Swish... Swish… Swish…

It was light and felt comfortable to swing.

"This is a nice dagger… I wonder why this is sealed though… Do you know how to unseal this item?" Vincent asked.

However, as expected, Abe shook his head.

"If I know how to unseal it, I would've done it already… Unfortunately, all the great Alchemists and Magic Craftsmen I met could only give up. Even its durability was messed up when they were trying to unseal it using some ancient method…This is why I decided to stop the experiment as its durability might get too low in the process. It will be a completely useless weapon if its durability continued to decrease."

"Hmm… That's true."

Vincent helplessly smiled after hearing his answer. He studied Arcane Mysteries as well but "Seals" weren't included in this topic at all.

"I will keep it then… I might find a way someday…" Vincent added. He will just do what he can do. Enhance, Ascend, and Transcend the item… If it didn't get unsealed even after that, perhaps the Fourth Stage or the Awakening Skill might do the trick…

"Alright… I will study this potion for a bit then I will give it to the Tower Lord later."

"I understand… I will send a few people here to help with the villa. If there are other matters, you can inform Manager Yulia." Vincent replied as he decided to end their conversation here.

The villa has more people now so it should be appropriate to add an attendant or two who can assist them. As for Yulia, he's planning to send her with Guven to confirm the identities of these people. After all, there was no way for him to tell whether they are connected or not to the Black Magic Organization just by their words.

With Guven's special ability, it should be easy for them to clear their suspicions.

***

After Vincent returned to his residence, he did not continue doing his Magic Crafting or strengthening the items that were brought to him by Calidia…

Instead, he decided to call a few people who were previously outstanding individuals in the Tudor Kingdom…

Those who had answered his call were Yvette, Luc, Cedric, and Machio…

He has been acquainted with them when he was still in the Tudor Kingdom except for Machio.

Machio is actually from the Illustrious Sword Sect. This sect has a very good relationship with the previous Star Garden Sect so Vincent has a good impression of him…

After all, the Star Garden Sect was destroyed by the Barbarians at that time and while the nearest sects did not do anything about it, the Illustrious Sword Sect had sent a few of their elites to actually help them.

As soon as the four arrived at his residence, they found out that Vincent had prepared some snacks and tea for them.

"City Lord… I wonder how can we help you this time?" Yvette asked with a smile.

If they were alone, she would normally tease him by calling him her Knight which shouldn't be far from the truth considering the document that is still in his possession.

However, since there are others, she decided to be formal.

"I'm sorry for calling you all here when you're busy… However, I really need to hear everything that you know about the Blood Mist Sect that was established in the Tudor Kingdom. Well, if you know someone who was connected to it, I will like to know as well."

Vincent said as he can no longer contain his interest in the Bloodstones… Especially the Enchanted one which has the same worth as his previous Vermillion Hawk…

"Blood Mist Sect?"

The four of them looked at each other…

"I only know superficial things about that minor sect… Like their Sect Leader who was doing business with the Marshall Family. I'm not sure about the others though…" Yvette spoke first.

"I only worked for them a few times as an Appraiser so I don't know much… However, I met a few of their elders." Luc said as he touched his white beard.

"Well, I know that the Blood Mist Sect doesn't accept nobles in their ranks. They only accept orphans or those who were living in the streets." Cedric said. He's the only noble here so he has a different perspective.

"Hmm… Our Illustrious Sword Sect isn't that far from the Blood Sect so I know a few things about them… What do you want to know, City Lord?" Machio finally said as Vincent's eyes lit up.

It seems that he really made the right decision to call for them.
