YM778.TV Chapter 188 Reappearance
Vincent realized that the tower has a maze-like structure after arriving at Professor Levent\'s room.
\'It\'s cold…\'
Vincent thought after entering.
Since he has limited senses right now, he couldn\'t tell how large this room was but based on the echoing sound of their footsteps, he can guess that this place is quite huge.
"Come here… I\'m currently developing a liquid designed to melt a special type of metal… I do have a couple of bottles with me that I want you to modify and improve. I\'m sure this thing is still considered a potion, right?"
Professor Levent said as she guided him to her workbench.
\'Hydrochloric acid?\' Vincent mused after hearing the Professor\'s explanation. As far as he knows, that type of acid can eat through metal.
Vincent felt curious about this liquid.
As soon as she handed over a test tube containing about 20 ml of this liquid, he immediately appraised the item to see what it is all about.
[ A Vial of Metal-Melting Liquid ]
[ Quality: Mid-Grade
Number of Enhancements: 0/10
Metal Corruption: 320
Description: Not for consumption. It has strong effects when used against low-ranked metal. Effects will be greatly diminished when used against mid-ranked and high-ranked metal.
Remarks: Every enhancement will improve the effects of the liquid. ]
"Three hundred twenty? That\'s pretty high…" Vincent muttered after seeing the result of the appraisal.
"Hmm?"
"Ah… I was just talking to myself. Anyway, this is quite good for lower-rank metals. It will still work to higher ranked metals but you probably will need a lot more than this. What type of metal are you trying to dissolve anyway?"
Vincent asked as he placed the test tube back into its test tube rack smoothly. He already used his item sense ability so he was able to do it easily. Surprisingly, he realized that within this room, his Item Sense was able to show its full might within the room. He was no longer just limited to a three-meter radius!
Though his Soul Sense was still weakened, his system skills work perfectly fine now.
Professor Levent hesitated for a moment not sure how to answer Vincent.
He noticed this as well so he immediately added.
"You don\'t have to tell me if it\'s a secret. I just want to know the type or level of metal we\'re trying to dissolve so I can make proper adjustments."
"No… It\'s not that I don\'t want to tell you, it\'s just that I don\'t know what type of metal it is. I can only suggest that you make it the strongest metal-melting liquid." Professor Levent said awkwardly.
However, Vincent was already frozen in his spot.
As soon as he used his Item Sense ability to wander around Levent\'s room, he managed to pick up a very familiar item in the corner of her room. It doesn\'t take a genius to realize what she was trying to melt!
It took him a while to calm down as he slowly asked the Professor.
"If you can\'t tell me what type of metal it is, can you at least allow me to appraise it? I\'m quite confident with my appraisal skills."
"Hmmm… I don\'t think you can appraise this metal… I\'ve already asked several Master Appraisers and they could barely find out what type of object it is." She replied.
Those Master Appraisers weren\'t just knowledgeable but they also have gifts related to appraisal. They can even appraise the Legendary Items of the Tower so their talents can never be doubted.
"You can just try me… I won\'t charge you for appraisals anyway." Vincent joked for a moment to lighten the mood.
"Haa~ Fine… But we have to sign a non-disclosure agreement just to be safe. This item is very important to me after all. Whether you succeed with the appraisal or not, you can\'t tell anyone about this."
"I\'ll accept that." Vincent didn\'t hesitate to agree.
"Good… Let me just prepare the oath crystal."
Since Vincent is blind, they can\'t possibly use a contract paper that would bind the two of them. Instead, Professor Levent decided to use a Magic Artifact called Oath Crystal to ensure that her secret would remain inside this room.
Vincent was already familiar with this since he learned of this crystal during the Arcane Mysteries Class when they studied the various kinds of magic artifacts that can be found inside a dungeon.
Anyway, as soon as the two of them completed the oath, Levent brought him in front of a large oval-shaped metallic capsule.
"Is this the thing you wanted to melt?" Vincent asked.
"Well, I only plan to at least open a hole on it to peek inside."
"Do you have an idea what\'s inside, Professor?"
"I was told by the previous appraisers that it could be a treasure or a curse that could destroy our land. However, I doubt that it\'s something dangerous. Even if it is, I will not open this inside my room. I have a place in mind where I can be safe once I decided to use the metal-melting liquid."
Levent answered with confidence.
"I understand. Can I touch it for a moment to appraise this object?"
"Of course. I already removed the defensive formation it\'s safe to touch now."
Vincent nodded at this as he put his palm on the metallic capsule that he had already sensed a while ago.
As soon as the result of the appraisal came out, he couldn\'t help but let out a sigh…
"Incredible…" He muttered.
[ Origin Form: Cryogenic Sleep Chamber ]
[ Quality: Legendary
Number of Enhancements: 10/10
Durability: 995/1,000
Description: A Cryogenic Sleep Chamber that is almost in perfect condition. The world\'s mana is supplying it with energy to preserve the being inside.
Remarks: Fully Enhanced Object. There will be no Enhancement results if Enhancement Skill was used. ]
"Did you find something about it?" Professor Levent\'s eyes lit up after noticing Vincent\'s reaction.
"Ahh… I noticed that you\'ve probably used a few bottles of metal-melting liquid on this. Hmmm... I can\'t even say that it\'s damaged at all. Not even one percent was shaved off of its durability points."
Vincent answered as he tried to think of what more information he could tell to the Professor.
