[Bag of Holding - Storage

Durability: 10/10

Quality: Average

Description: A unique creation created by enchanting a bag with spatial magic that allows a user to store items in a pressurized sub-space. This item can store up to 50 things and reduces their weight to 1% of the total.]

Darius raised an eyebrow. So, it was the fabled Bag of Holding, huh? He definitely heard of this item as it was quite common in settings like this, and it was a makeshift means to make storage easier for denizens of such worlds.

Darius also knew that this kind of item should be very expensive, which further proved that Foldo was a man of good means. He began to look forward to the kind of things Foldo would take out for him to appraise.

The older man wasted no time in doing so too. He carefully took out 10 items first, placing them on the table before Darius one by one.

Darius was in no rush to Analyze them. He waited for Foldo to withdraw the items he felt he needed to appraise and let the man introduce them one by one.

Foldo pointed to a strange pocket watch that glowed with a kaleidoscope of colors. "I've acquired this item from an elven family that was on the run from some enemies. In exchange for smuggling them out of the area, they paid a hefty sum."

Foldo suddenly smiled. "Of course, I had them drugged and shackled to become slaves. In my entire career, I've never made as much profit as I did that week, haha."

Foldo then held up an egg-shaped stone that looked similar to marble. "This was sold to me for the price of 300 bronze by a hunter who found it in an abandoned nest."

The next item the older man picked up was a strange rectangular device, which Darius identified easily without even needing to Analyze it. "This is a strange device that was smuggled from the Gravitas Continent. Contraband from there is the hardest to get our hands on due to their extreme xenophobia and the absurdity of their creations."

Foldo placed the item down and picked another, which was a small ornate dagger, lined with rubies at the hilt and a blade-edge that was colored black. "As for this, I know where it's from and some of its history. However, I don't know what exactly it does or how to use it."

Foldo then switched to a tattered scroll that looked like it would crumble to ash if not handled properly. "This one I obtained here, in the outskirts of Andrato. There was a strange outbreak of Undead in the past which caused me many losses. When the necromancer responsible was found and killed, it was found on his person."

Next was a small quill that had a glowing feather as its shaft. The feather seemed to radiate intense warmth that heated up the room. "I know this to be a quill made from the legendary feathers of a Phoenix. There was no way I could buy something like this, so I had to steal it from a client who wanted to auction it at the black market and kill them."

Foldo held up an arrow that had a weird heart-shaped head and its shaft was a bright pink color. Its fletchings were frilly and seemed impossible to fire from a bow competently, almost like this was a prop.

"As much as I want to believe that this is a child's toy, there have been some strange phenomena occurring around it that makes me believe there's more to it."

He then gestured to a tome that sat on the table. The book looked positively malevolent, with a strange and dangerous blackish energy coiling around it as it shook on the table, trying to break its bindings.

"This item is a demonic tome of some sorts, that much I know. However, you can understand why I am hesitant to open it and find out what exactly it does."

Foldo sighed and then looked at the last but one item on the table, which was a chromium coin. "This is another piece of rare contraband from Gravitas."

And then, the final item; a strange ruby that seemed hollow in the middle. "This one is believed to be the former phylactery of a Lich, but after being purified, I have no idea whether it has any use besides acting as a trophy of sorts."

Darius, who had silently listened to the introductions of the items so far, smiled and nodded when it came to an end. "Do not worry, I shall identify all these items for you, as well as how they function if possible."

Foldo looked relieved and relaxed into his couch as he waited for Darius to begin. For that matter, Darius went ahead and Analyzed the first item he was introduced to, the rainbow pocketwatch.

Quality: Perfect

Description: A legendary creation of Alchemy, Magic, and Enchantment, this pocket watch is said to be able to reverse time by a certain amount, returning its user to a point in the past where they could avoid a currently occurring danger.]

Darius' lazy glance he gave the watch sharpened and his eyes gleamed. Foldo noticed his look and his heart began to thump. Had his master found out something special about the item?

"Foldo." Darius called nonchalantly.

"Yes, Master." Foldo replied dutifully.

"Please make sure there are no unwanted eyes or ears in the area, for what we are about to discuss is very crucial."

"Right away, Master." Foldo replied as he rang a bell.

Nothing visibly happened when he did so, yet Darius felt the area had become… quieter and more muted. His ears even began to buzz a little, which interested him, but he had another agenda.

"First things first, Foldo. I shall appraise all the items in a row and tell you of their features. After I tell you, I will never again repeat them for they must not be heard by any man lest the Gods themselves come down to raid you."


章節 56: Chapter 56

Foldo gulped as he heard this. Since meeting Darius, he had never heard him sound as grave and serious as he was now. In the little time Foldo had spent with him, his master had been laid back and calm, giving the apprentice the impression that there was nothing the Adept mage couldn't do.

The older man nodded and waited for Darius to inspect the items fully. Darius' eyes roved over all the items as he Analyzed them one by one before he sighed, for what he had seen was truly shocking.

Darius listed them all to Foldo one by one, slowly highlighting the possible advantages and disadvantages of each item to his dumbstricken apprentice who was profusely sweating.

He had always considered these items to be somewhat special, but now he was hearing that he had been holding onto items that might tempt even deities were they to know about it.

Especially the likes of A Stitch in Time, Dagger of Death, and the Tome of Demonion. Foldo could not believe he had been strutting about with ticking time bombs in his Bag of Holding.

He continued shaking for a minute longer before he gritted his teeth and breathed out. With a solemn face, he got onto his knees and prostrated before Darius, and spoke honestly.

"Master Darius, I have no confidence in being able to use these items while keeping my life intact, so I would like to grant them to you, as a gift for your tutelage!"

Darius smiled lightly. "You're truly clever Foldo. You weighed the pros and cons, rightfully realizing that despite these items being godly, you lack the power to sell or use them without losing your life for doing so."

Darius crossed his legs and narrowed his eyes playfully. "As such, it is indeed a much better choice to offer it to the master whose power and connections you have yet to uncover, in exchange for more resources in magecraft, which is more pertinent to you."

"That way, you kill two birds with one stone. This will allow you to see the limitations of your new master's power based on how he is able to utilize these items and remain unscathed or not. All the while gaining my favor and more resources for becoming a Journeyman mage, which is more of a realistic goal for you at this time."

Foldo froze with his head on the floor, his heart thumping in his chest rapidly as he had indeed defaulted into his cunning mode thereby forgetting that his master was even more vicious than he was.

How could he do something like this?! He literally swore to Darius that he would never try to go against his Master!

While Foldo was panicking and trying to find a good reason for Darius to not strike him, the latter merely found his first follower's reaction amusing. It was apparent that the older man had been too overwhelmed by the identified items making him act before thinking clearly.

It was similar to being told that there was a giant spider on your back. No matter how brave one normally was, it would likely lead someone to enter a state of panic where they might do something unwise like make sudden moves or try to swat it off, which would lead to unfavorable results.

Foldo had fallen into this trap.

Just as he was about to say something to extricate himself from this mistake, Darius chuckled and spoke calmly.

"Stand, Foldo. This is your first offense. I like a cunning subordinate like you because idiots would simply ruin my plans when I rely on them. Still, let me give you a piece of advice, my 'dear' apprentice. Make sure this will be the only time."
