Chapter 3 - Appraisal Skill

Half an hour later, after paying the bill, something that made Mana's heart ache... The duo was now in the Market Place.

They first headed towards A Merchant Shop, a two storey classical mideival building, big enough to accommodate hundreds of people at the same time.

Ones inside, they ignore the people and directly headed towards the counter on which a cat kin girl receptionist greeted to them with a smile.

"Good day guest, I'm 'Cara' how may I help you Nya~?"

"I wanted to sell some items, can you appraise it?" Mana then place a bag Infront of the catkin girl, who had a surprise look upon checking it.

"T-this.." The woman stutter a bit but then smile confidently guesturing to them "Please follow me dear Guests."

"Good." Mana nodded approvingly at her professionalism.

Following her the two soon find themselves inside a luxurious room on the second floor. Having them sit on the Couch, Cara then said "Please have a seat dear Guests, I'm going to call to the manager."

Mana nodded as the cat kin girl leave. Not long after that she return accompanied by a fat middle aged man who smile at them greedily.

"Good day Guest, I'm the branch manager of **** merchant please call me 'Moro'." The fat middle aged man, now named Moro introduce.

"You can call me Georgia." Mana nodded introducing herself, still using the Alias. "And this is my grandson Bruno.. can you appraise the items and be done with the transaction already?"

The fat middle aged man was stunned for moment but then shrug his shoulder, smiling he nodded his head and began appraising the items inside the bag.

"This was a lot." Moro commented with a smile "dozen bottle of health potion made from demon blood, it is Indeed valuable but not that rare... four magic pouch made of demon bat wings... magic rings and with unique effects... "

"... How's he doing that?" I asked staring at fat middle aged man who casually appraise the items materials, magic effect, processing methods casually.

"Magic." Mana explained casually. "There's a skill called 'Appraisal', a bit similar to skill 'Analysis', but more of a divination than statistics."

"Cool how to acquire that skill?"

"How greedy." Mana smirked then explained: "Well there's two method currently.. the first is to acquire holy or divine type kind of magic then learn the 'Appraisal' from those who knew it. The other method is easier but also difficult at the same time; made a contract with a higher spirit, 'beings like them could grant you various skills, Appraisal Magic is only one of them..."

"what method you did to get yours?"

"The first of course. the second method was almost impossible to achieve. Higher Spirit is very picky when it comes to forming a contract." said Mana as if it was obvious.

"I see." Alexander nodded realising just how broken Rimuru"s unique skill {Great Sage} was, but then shook his head smirking he thought 'well at least am 2000 years before the conon..'

The dou then talk more about [Appraisal] skill, Ignoring the branch manager who was surprised upon learning Mana's skill.

'How can she talk like acquiring that skill was so simple.' Moro scream in his heart then feel regret as he couldn't con them anymore, he thought 'I can't mess with people like her.'

Mana smirked noticing that as she reveal her {Appraisal} skill on purpose. How can she not know he's trying to con them? People like him was greedy after all, The best way to deal with them is to show them that you're not simple.

Half an hour Later, the dou left the Shop with a wide smile on their face.
