Darius loved their abilities, especially the ones he chose for Gunner. With the ability to increase his movement speed in exchange for his plentiful stamina, he could easily kite any foe. Coupled with his already insane defense, Gunner was like a true tank, not the RPG-type, but the real-life one.

A tank in real life was not just durable, but also possessed explosive firepower that could raze almost anything. Gunner was currently at this stage.

The gauntlets were also there to grant him protection and extra firepower when using his Basic Martial Arts skill. Even though it remained at level 1 and only gave 5% extra damage, it was enough to add a few points when taken into account Gunner's high Strength and the damage of the item itself.

That was not even considering the awesome enchantment it possessed that allowed him to perform a suction type attack against foes within a certain distance. No matter how far you ran from Gunner, as long as you were within that range and had less Strength, you would be unable to escape.

Darius checked the prices of these items and saw that they were a high as hell. The Gauntlets were 3 gold, the boots' entire set was 4 gold and the spear was the craziest at 20 gold.

Shaking his head, he walked over to the various displays and looked around questioningly. Seeing his expression, one of the guards detached himself from a corner and approached Darius with a smile that was not pretty to look at.

"What do you need, customer?" The fellow asked in a gruff voice that exuded danger.

Gunner growled as his body started to glow green, the energy coming off him making all the guards in the room tense as they sensed danger. Darius simply patted Gunner on the shoulder with a smile and faced the guard.

"Give me those pair of gauntlets, those boots, and that spear." Darius indicated the items he planned to buy calmly.

Seeing as Gunner had calmed down, the various guards also relaxed while the other Adepts in the room smiled playfully. However, once Darius mentioned his final choices, their faces changed.

Before the guard could speak up, the female Journeyman who was browsing the wares with what seemed to be her boyfriend called out. "Young Fellow, that spear is of demonic origins. While it grants great power, it also drains your life force horribly. No one has ever been able to use it for more than 99 seconds, ever."

Darius turned to the woman and bowed with gratitude. "Thank you, Beautiful Madam. I've actually noted its properties when I saw it as I am an Itemancer."

Everyone minus Gunner looked puzzled by the term. Clearly, Itemancers were a thing that either were rare in Faust, did not exist on Fallon Continent, or was just not known to the lowly Andrato Kingdom.

Darius saw fit to explain, for he saw an interesting opportunity to network. "An Itemancer is a special type of ability that allows me to easily appraise any item I see with the highest possible accuracy."

Everyone was stunned when they heard that, and their eyes shined. As Foldo had told Darius, appraisers were something that was sorely needed not only in Andrato but throughout the entire world as he knew it.

The number of items in the world that were special was infinite. This was a magical world with so many different climates, cultures, and divinities, so many things existed that were inexplicable.

To find someone who could unearth the true value of these things so they wouldn't occupy needless space on a shelf was important. However, many appraisers were either bought out by powerful factions, shops or were frauds.

As such, interest sparked when Darius claimed to be one. After all, he was a young boy who was followed by a powerful bodyguard that seemed to be a Journeyman, while he himself was an Adept mage with Mind Power.

The lad was definitely anything but simple. However, to believe him just like that was asking for a bit too much. As such, one of the other Adepts, an older man, stroked his beard and said: "Lad, are you sure? Can you prove this?"

Darius nodded. He turned to the guard who was trying to serve him with a light smile. "Why don't we do this. Speak to your manager and have him bring 10 items here. 5 of them should be things you have not released to the public but know the abilities of, so you can cross-check if I am lying."

"The remaining 5 should be items you have no clue of, and I shall identify them for you free of charge."

The other 4 customers here nodded, while the guard rushed to the manager's office down below. In no time, a heavy man in merchant liveries appeared with the same guards trailing him, a wide smile on his lips as he spotted Darius.
