There was no need to waste time.
As such, Nial and his friends made their way to the area where all runic armaments and other goods were assessed.
Because the government chose to focus on providing the best service to all young Originals, who had been inside the ancient ruins dungeon, several servants came looking for them at once.
The government wanted the Originals to have a firsthand taste of power and what it would look like to have servants around.
But that was not the only reason for the government to do so. Rather, the most important reason was that the military wanted to test the mental strength of their participants.
Most servants, who approached Mathias, Nial, and Bella were all stunning to look at. Mathias was charmed by their beauty as if he was under a spell.
On the other hand, Bella easily ignored the handsome butlers, while Nial couldn't care less.
Even if he was not able to see the beautiful servants, his range of perception could clearly visualize them.
However, that didn't make much of a difference to him as his willpower would not be easily swayed like most participants of the Teradan military camp.
That made it much easier for him to be unfazed and focus on his task. Thus, he appeared in front of the assessment center where he accessed his spatial ring.
A moment later more than a hundred ungraded runic armaments appeared in front of the Appraiser.
The sight of a hundred ungraded runic armaments was something the appraiser had already seen a handful of times during the last days.
Earlier, it may not have been possible for him to see a huge pile of a hundred runic armaments at once, but now the novelty had worn off.
The appraiser's mind was already prepared to face more shocking situations!
As such, the only thing that baffled him was that Nial treated the ungraded runic armaments as if they weren't worth anything.
After Nial cleared his spatial ring of ungraded runic armaments, Bella and Mathias followed suit.
Both had piles of runic armaments that were roughly similar in size to Nial's.
That meant a total of more than 300 ungraded runic armaments appeared in front of the appraiser.
Even if he had been mentally prepared, his jaw nearly hit the ground when he saw the rather huge pile of runic armaments. So far, he had only seen armaments brought by a group numbering in the hundred.
p
Some might even be on par with the lowest quality Myth Common graded equipment!
"Esteemed customers, are you sure to sell all of these ungraded runic armaments? Each of them should be worth 500 merit points, at the very least…"
When Nial and his friends heard this, they could only smile oddly. Nial suppressed his laughter, while Mathias and Bella looked at each other for a moment before they nodded their heads.
"In that case, we should probably sell a few more runic armaments." Bella's voice was low, but the moment the appraiser heard her, he was even more astonished.
He broke out in a sweat and looked at the team of three in confusion.
'What are they talking about? Do they have more?!'
The 300 runic armaments were already far more than the appraiser had seen in his entire life.
As such, he had been certain that this was the entire fortune the team in front of him had procured.
But that was not even close to reality and the hidden truth, which the appraiser could get a glance of as each of the three friends started to take out one Tier-0 runic armament after another.
Each Tier-0 runic armament was on par, if not better than Late Myth Common graded equipment.
Tier-0 runic armaments of the highest quality might even provide better results than Peak Myth Common graded equipment.
Understanding this was quite difficult for many Originals and especially in the case of prideful blacksmiths because every single Myth weapon they had forged so far could be considered the pride of their entire career.
Of course, there were certain exceptions such as the creation of the Viper spear which blacksmith Arnold Birg had not been satisfied with.
There were additional issues such as the incident with his daughter which made him hate the weapon he had created especially for his blind daughter.
But that was not concerning for the given situation.
Tier-0 runic armaments were worth several million dollars per equipment, which exceeded the price of ungraded runic armaments manyfold.
Thus, every single Tier-0 runic armament the three young Originals pulled out of their spatial ring was comparable to a huge stash of money!
The Appraiser swallowed his saliva at the sight of the runic armaments but that was nothing in comparison to the greed-filled stares of the other young Originals, who witnessed everything as well!
It was a rather big open floor and there was no isolation barrier set up at the appraiser's desk as everything had been constructed in a rather hurried manner.
There were not even walls around the assessment center, which was why everyone could see the pile of runic armaments after the appraiser's loud and shocked voice boomed through the surrounding area.
It attracted the attention of many merchants, soldiers, and young Originals, who were baffled at the sight of so many armaments, just like the appraiser.
However, even if the young Originals were envious of the treasures Nial and his team looted, attempting to steal their runic armaments in front of the military and the government would be the stupidest thing one could do.
But even if that was the case, the greedy eyes of the young Originals, who had not only failed to procure more items but had also been beaten up by junior Soldiers grew angrier.
Their body was still sore from all the beating they had to endure just because they had dared deny paying the protection fee.
Recalling that humiliating scene made them shudder, and the thought of making up for their losses manifested in their mind.
However, the moment they thought about this, Nial turned his head to them. His lifeless eyes stared straight at them while his lips curled into a smirk.
Even if the young Originals hadn't said anything yet, his senses were extremely sharp and had been enhanced manyfold.
As such, Nial had easily detected that some of the young Originals harbored ill intentions against them.
But that was not something he feared, which was why he smiled at them as if he wanted to say 'Come at me if you dare to!'
Nial truly didn't care if anyone were to attack them. Rather, they should accept the consequences of their actions the moment they dared to do something foolish.
Turning his attention back to the appraiser, Nial slowed the speed at which he took out Tier-0 runic armaments.
There were still more than 30 Tier-0 runic armaments in his backpack, but he wanted to save some to trade them with other merchants after leaving the Teradan military camp.
After all, they wouldn't stay on the nameless island forever!
This was only obvious, which was also why they didn't need more than 100,000 merit points, which was what they wanted to obtain for everyone in total.
Nial and the others stopped taking out more runic armaments when the appraiser's face turned paper white.
In the beginning, the young man didn't expect much from the group of three. But to say that they exceeded his expectations would be an underestimation as well.
When the three friends stopped depositing more runic armaments on his overly filled desk, the appraiser waited for a few minutes, preventing his poor heart from failing before he asked,
"Esteemed customers, that…is everything you want to sell, right?" Somehow, the voice of the appraiser sounded as if he was pleading with them to stop shocking him any further and that the huge pile of runic armaments was everything they wanted to sell.
Nial nodded his head with a faint smile on his lips. If the appraiser were to know that the three of them had still 100 Tier-0 runic armaments left and that they had a few Tier-1 runic armaments in their possession, he would certainly collapse on the ground.
"I…will need some time to appraise all of them. As for the Tier-0 runic armaments, I would like to consult my boss… All in all, it should take at least two hours to finish everything…will that be fine?"
Right now there was no trace of pride in the appraiser's voice. Rather, his voice was overflowing with respect and uncertainty as he was unsure of what to do next.
That had never happened in his entire career. His work experience might not be vast, but he had seen a lot in the last few years.
As such, he had been assigned to become the vice-representative of his uncle's trading firm in this year's Teradan military camp.
He was tasked with the job of building some connections and growing his uncle's firm, thereby increasing their reputation.
The runic armaments in front of him would be perfect to achieve this. As long as they sold them to other merchants instead of the government directly, it would be possible to strengthen the relationship with several big families.
This included merchant families as well as the grand families that governed the shelters, and protected them!
But even if that was the case, the appraiser didn't have the permission to purchase goods over a certain threshold.
And the price he would have to pay for the pile of runic armaments in front of him ranged in the six digits!
Because they had expected such an outcome, Bella was rather calm as she replied,
"That's okay, we will excuse ourselves for the time being, and return in two hours."
On the other hand, Mathias couldn't help but smile oddly as he looked at the unguarded pile of runic armaments.
"Don't lose even a single one of them! We died nearly dozens of times to get our hands on everything!!"
Afterward, he turned around to follow Nial and Bella, who had already left the assessment center that belonged to the Miriad trading firm.
They had no specific destination in mind and Nial was not able to sense Miranda's presence around them either.
As such, they went to a vendor, purchased Origin crystals, and began to absorb them.
Nial still had more than enough Origin crystals in his spatial ring but he didn't want to waste his time with low-quality Origin crystals.
Thus, he lay them around himself to absorb all of them at once while doing the same with a few Mid-Common graded Origin crystals.
Taking a deep breath, Nial felt the familiar sensation of pure mana entering his body.
He didn't even have to do something active as his mana veins were greedily reaching out for the mana stored within the Origin crystals.
'It has been quite a while since I could absorb some mana….sigh, so much has happened in such a short time.'
Nial just smiled while recalling all the events that had occurred on the nameless island.
Not only did he find out more about the Odyssey seed that was, in fact, a fragment of the late Darkness God, but numerous additional events had happened in less than three weeks.
This was quite astonishing if one thought about it for a little bit longer.
But Nial knew that it was just the beginning of his journey and far more exciting events awaited him.
Yet, before his true odyssey could start, Nial first had to find a way to his family.
He wanted to reunite with them before starting to plan for the future.
Unfortunately, Nial was oblivious to the fact that his Odyssey had long since begun!
