Because if he remembered correctly, the adventurer who took away the Boots of Levitation was carrying two long swords.
Itâs not that he has a photographic memory.
But as the captain of Marquis Garethâs knights, he was responsible for security, and naturally paid attention to powerful strangers at the auction house.
Thinking of this.
Westonâs gaze quickly swept across the damaged area of Raineâs Chest Armor of Courageâ
âPiercing wound, blood groove consistentâ
âAlmost identical to the fracture of this Silver Sword....â
Immediately after, his gaze lingered on the two women who returned with Raine, Sulfur Vine and Laisa.
âClasses Level are both Level 3.â
âOne is undoubtedly a Druid, and the other should be....a Wanderer.â
Clearly, in the face of experts, these two would not be of much use.
This led Weston to immediately raise his assessment of Raineâs danger level from indifferent to red.
Indicating that if Raine were to appear next to the Marquis, he would have to be fully on guard.
...
Inside the counter.
Liya expertly wrote and attached a paper label to the sword hilt, while asking:
"By the way, Mr. Rein, these pieces are all Magic Equipment, but Appraiser Yakson will only arrive in Mill Town next week."
"So, if Mr. Weber were to perform the appraisal, for accuracy, he might use an Identification Spell Scroll, which would increase the appraisal cost. If youâre not in a hurry...."
"Itâs fine, let Mr. Weber perform the appraisal." Raine waved his hand and said.
This is also why High-Level Classes generally prefer larger cities; the supporting services are more complete, similar to the differences between large cities and small towns in the previous life.
Of course, if he were to use these two swords himself, Raine would certainly choose to buy an Identification Spell Scroll to appraise them himself.
But he has basically decided to sell the Dual Swords through the association as soon as possible; understanding the swordsâ attributes alone is not enough, as the association also needs to appraise the swordsâ characteristics.
This step is an essential part of the official process for handling Magic Equipment within the association.
"Understood, Mr. Rein."
"Nora, please deliver this to Mr. Weber immediately." Liya handed the four items with attached labels to another female receptionist beside her and instructed.
"Mr. Rein, is there anything else you need help with?"
Upon hearing Liyaâs question, Laisa suddenly thought of something and wanted to speak.
But Raine immediately gave Laisa a look, then slightly turned his head and smiled at Liya, saying:
"Nothing more."
"Miss Liya, please notify me at the Fireplace Bar when the equipment is appraised."
"Feeling a bit hungry."
He knew naturally that Laisa probably wanted to mention the task submission.
The tasks for the three hadnât been submitted yet.
But the problem was, with others present, mentioning the task would quickly allow the other party to deduce many things from the task information due to their sharpness.
Raine planned to submit the task later, alone.
"Alright, Mr. Rein." Liya responded with a smile.
The group then went downstairs and headed toward the Fireplace Bar once more.
At this time, knight captain Weston smiled and said:
"Mr. Rein, with your abilities, you should visit a bigger city. Marquis Gareth would certainly welcome you to reside in Bornberry."
"Thank you, I will visit Bornberry if I get the chance."
Bornberry.
A large city located on the opposite side of the Valley of Dead Water.
Upon hearing this name, Raine thought of Chris, Fabian, and Grande, wondering how they were faring under Weapon Master Beiseth Mitchellâs tutelage?
....
Fireplace Bar.
Inside a private room.
The long solid wood dining table was filled with sumptuous food, including the Fireplace Barâs signature dishâbeer-roasted pork chops.
The golden-brown slightly charred pork chops glimmered enticingly in the flickering candlelight, with the aroma of meat mixed with cumin and black pepper wafting through the air.
"Mr. Weston, what is your plan?"
"As it stands, because the second young master was captured by Necromancer Magiller, the item weâre searching for is likely in Necromancer Magillerâs possession."
"Of course, itâs also possible that Magiller may have given the item to his Mind Flayer master."
"Therefore, our plan is to first kill Necromancer Magiller, and if we donât find the item, then we proceed together to the core area of the Valley of Dead Water where the Mind Flayer is."
"Kill Necromancer Magiller first?"
Upon hearing this plan, Raine immediately furrowed his brows.
Undoubtedly, as a capable subordinate of the Mind Flayer, once Magiller dies, the Mind Flayer will certainly have a psychic reaction.
Which means, when they later head to the Mind Flayerâs core area, they will face a well-prepared Mind Flayer, even if Benest has the Positioning Crystal, capable of summoning fellow Transcendent Lunflier by crushing it.
But the problem is, this turns into a frontal battle.
Thereâs no opportunity for Reyaâs fatherâBaron Olsen, to enter the nurturing chamber and remove the Mind Flayer larvae.
Benest shared the same expression, looking at Raine, the two of them meeting eyes and understanding they had thought the same.
"Iâm sorry, Iâm afraid we cannot agree to this plan." Raine shook his head and said.
"If cooperation is necessary, I suggest proceeding to the core area first."
"I believe Lord Benest has informed you of our primary objective in going to the Valley of Dead Water."
"This...." Hearing Raineâs objection, Weston did not show displeasure, only furrowed brows.
