How to Live as an Illegal Healer

10. If you don’t get caught,

if you stop catching monsters, you can sometimes get a bead item. If you break the seal on the marble, it turns into various items. Adventurers call this a relic.

‘Weapons come out, armor comes out, and food comes out.’

In a word, it is an Azul Continental Lotto item.

‘I’ve seen it a few times, but this is the first time I’ve had one.’

It was also the first time Kang Seung-hyeon had obtained a sealed artifact. Healers rarely hunt monsters compared to other adventurers.

‘It would be nice if there were items for healers. It must be cheap because it came from a rat.’

Unsealed artifacts are just marbles. You can’t use it and you can’t sell it expensive. I don’t even know what kind of item it is, so why pay expensive money to buy it?

If you want to sell it at a high price, you have to break the seal first.

‘Artifact appraiser…. If the healer can’t budge, these bastards have no conscience.’

artifact appraiser.

Those who appraise the artifacts brought by adventurers and release the seal.

Although not as good as the healers, they are also a trash group. It’s because if you’re bored while appraising relics, you’ll cheat.

-This is a cheap artifact. Still, if you sell it in our store, we will buy it at 15 times the market price.

-This is a pretty precious artifact that came in this time! If you buy now, we will give you 50% off!

A typical scam is buying good artifacts at a low price and selling bad artifacts at a high price.

‘I especially like ripping off new adventurers.’

The reason why relic appraisers are not caught is because relic appraisal is more difficult to learn than heel.

So, as long as they didn’t touch people of high rank, such as nobles and royalty, they tended to look after them.

‘Even if it’s cheap, I don’t want to be scammed.’

Even if it’s a 1000 gold artifact, they’re the ones who will tell you to sell it for 1000 gold.

Kang Seung-hyun thought for a moment and made a potion.

‘With this, I won’t be scammed.’

-“welcome. This is the Adventurer Guild Artifact Appraisal Center!”

The relic appraiser greeted Kang Seung-hyun with a warm smile. Seunghyun Kang also greeted with a smile.

“hello. I’m here to appraise the artifact.”

“Adventurers belonging to the Adventurer Guild are basically appraised at a 10% discount.”

The relic appraiser said with a smile. I was thinking, ‘Instead of giving you a 10% discount, I’ll give you 30% off’.

“Which artifact would you like to appraise? Please leave it to me.

“Here’s this guy…”

It was the moment Kang Seung-hyun took out the artifact.

“…!”

It was only for a moment, but the eyes of the relic appraiser changed. Although it returned to its original face.

‘Ah, it looks better than I thought?’

Judging by the attitude, it doesn’t seem cheap.

“Then I’ll appraise you right away.”

The relic appraiser was still smiling, but not inside.

‘Is this a pretty good thing? This bastard did a good job of getting these things.’

Competent artefact appraisers can determine the value of an artefact just by looking at it. Is it an ordinary artifact, a cheap artifact, or a rare artifact?

‘The grade is B+. It’s a quality product.’

B+ grade relics can receive up to several million gold if done well. It’s not as good as A grade, but it’s better than B grade.

As soon as the relic appraiser confirmed the value of the relic, he rolled his head.

‘How can I buy this at a bargain price? The simplest way is a price joke.’

It is a method of deliberately giving the lowest price and then gradually raising the price to buy it. The lowest price of B+ relics is on the expensive side, so the benefit is not that great.

‘Or buy it sealed?’

Lesser artifacts can be sold for a higher price when sold as marbles than unsealed. This is because sealed relics can be processed into magic when disassembled.

‘The problem is that this is a rare artifact, not a normal artifact.’

The appraiser saw through that the artifact Kang Seung-hyun presented was a rare monster artifact.

‘It’s cheap, so I wouldn’t believe it if I told them to sell it as it is.’

No matter how adventurous you are, you’re not that stupid.

Rare relics are more likely to be more expensive than normal relics even if they are of the same grade. It is a loss to sell a rare relic in a sealed state, even if it is cheap.

‘If you ask me to sell it in a sealed state, I might get slapped. If you can catch a rare monster, you must be a skilled person.’

Even the appraiser didn’t want to be hit by a skilled person who could beat rare monsters.

In fact, if you just accept the appraisal fee, there is no problem. Because adventurers don’t beat people for no reason.

‘B+ Artifacts and Rare Artifacts! I can’t give up on this!’

But the appraiser had no intention of giving up.

‘It’s enough to change it to something else.’

Artifacts give off a unique aura depending on their grade. A relic appraiser detects the weak aura from an relic and recognizes its value.

It’s obvious, but ordinary people can’t detect it. This is something only a relic appraiser can do.

‘Because this is a blue B+ rare artifact…’

The appraiser reached into the counter. The counter was full of cheap artifacts that had been saved for this type of swapping.

‘Let’s replace it with a blue C+ relic.’

The appraiser took out a cheap artifact from a drawer pretending to take out a glove.

Excellent professional appraisers can recognize the value of an artifact even by touching it. It’s a problem that they’re using that skill to cheat.

-If you want to make a living with relics, you must first learn how to deceive others.

-Scam is enough if it goes undetected.

This is a quote I learned from a teacher who taught relic appraisal.

‘It’s okay if I don’t get caught.’

No matter how great an adventurer you are, you cannot appraise a relic if you do not have the Relic Appraisal skill.

If you don’t know the original value, you won’t be able to figure it out. Rare artifacts don’t always come out with good items.

“Then let’s start appreciating.”

The appraiser wore gloves and hid cheap artifacts.

‘It’s easy from now on.’

There is a saying in this industry.

If you use tricks in your performance, you become a magician.

If you use cheating to buy, you become a relic appraiser.

shock.

The appraiser pretended to appraise and swapped cheap and rare artifacts hidden in his hands.

‘It’s a simple trick using hand techniques.’

It doesn’t use magic, so there’s nothing to be found out about. It doesn’t matter if you notice. Because you can change it again in the blink of an eye.

“Okay, the appraisal is over.”

The artifact touched by the appraiser emits a bright light.

Kang Seung-hyun’s eyes emitted a transparent light, but the appraiser’s eyes were emitting yellow light, meaning a C grade.

“As a result of appraisal, it is a C-class artifact. It is a ‘talisman containing a small life’.”

It is an item that only increases your health by 5% when worn. It’s not such a bad thing, but it’s an oddity from a rare artifact.

“It’s an item that sells for about 80,000 gold.”

The appraiser seemed to die of laughter, but kept a poker face and continued talking.

“Sealed artifacts can be disassembled with magic.”

The relic was still in the form of a bead because it was only appraised and the seal was not released.

“If you don’t want to unlock the seal, I’m thinking of buying it from our shop…”

C-class sealed artifacts are traded for an average of 100,000 gold. This is 80,000 gold in contents, so it is 110,000 gold even if you put a lot on it.

“If you sell it, I will pay you up to 120,000 gold.”

The appraiser recommended that you sell it here, saying that you would only get 100,000 gold if you sold it elsewhere. Since he obtained an artifact worth millions of gold anyway, there was no harm in accepting or rejecting it.

“You buy this for 120,000 gold?”

Kang Seung-hyun, who had been silent the whole time as if lost in thought, opened his mouth.

“Are you going to break the seal? In this case, we don’t buy it, but we charge for the unsealing.”

If you don’t have a useful item, it’s good to use a small life-filled talisman. The 5% increase in health is pretty useful.

The appraiser smiled and recommended that it wouldn’t be bad either.

“The talisman containing a small life is a convenient item because it is small in volume and can increase physical strength just by putting it in your pocket.”

“is it so?”

Kang Seung-hyeon gave a rough answer, holding the artifact in his hand and looking at it.

‘I still can’t believe the reality. devil. What do you see?’

The appraiser laughed at Kang Seung-hyun.

‘It might be hard to believe that only 80,000 gold came out of a rare artifact.’

However, even if you look at it until your eyes fall out, you cannot notice it unless you are a relic appraiser. That this is a relic that has been replaced.

‘Wouldn’t you faint if you found out that millions of gold turned into 80,000 gold?’

They say they are appraisers of relics for this taste. The appraiser continued talking without revealing his intentions.

“The cost of unlocking the artifact is 10,000 gold.”

“Wait before that…”

Then Kang Seung-hyun pulled out a potion. It was a bottle filled with a clear liquid.

‘What potion?’

Then he poured the potion on the artifact. I did something and watched, but nothing happened.

“What are you doing?”

“Do you see this knife?”

Then, this time, he pulled out a knife.

“It’s the knife I used to kill a rare monster earlier.”

Then he started talking about knives.

‘What are you crazy about?’

The appraiser thought Kang Seung-hyun was crazy. I would go crazy if trash came out of the rare artifact I had worked so hard for.

“It looks clean after washing it with water, but you know that blood doesn’t really come off well, right?”

“Yes. So?”

“Even though you can’t see it, it’s still on the blade.”

Then, this time, he sprayed the potion on the knife. The appraiser didn’t care, as if nothing had happened.

‘If I’m crazy, I’ll be fine.’

It was the moment I thought about contacting the adventurer’s guild and expelling them.

Wow!

An intense light emanated from the knife. To be precise, the potion on the blade was shining.

“Huh huh?”

“As you can see at a glance, this potion has the effect of emitting light when it comes in contact with blood.”

Seunghyun Kang said while waving the potion bottle.

This is a potion with similar effects to the luminol solution that often appears in forensics. The exact effect is to emit light by consuming blood.

“My name is Latasia Potion. It is a potion mainly used by northerners. I put it in when I do laundry to drain the blood.”

“Ah, there was a potion like that. It looks good.”

The appraiser nodded bewildered. Latasia is a northern herb, so there are many people who are not familiar with it unless you are from the north.

“Originally, the blood doesn’t come off well and the stain lasts for a long time.”

“I know. It costs a lot of money to remove blood from clothes…”

“But why is this still fine?”

The appraiser heard Kang Seung-hyun’s words and felt his heart sink. Seunghyun Kang was pointing at the artifact.

“I don’t know why there is no reaction even after pouring the Latasia potion. Even knives washed with water react to potions.”

Kang Seung-hyun once again sprayed the Latasia potion. I sprayed the potion bottle until it was empty, but the artifact still didn’t respond.

“This guy was also covered in blood because he was taken out of the stomach of a rare monster today.”

It looks clean now that it has been washed with water, but in fact the artifact was covered in blood just like the knife.

“Of course, it should be more luminescent than the knife, right?”

If the artifact was brought today, it would of course be covered in blood. It is normal to react to the Latasia potion.

After all, this relic is not a rare relic brought by Kang Seung-hyeon.

“Unless someone swapped them!”

Kang Seung-hyeon grabbed the appraiser’s head and slammed it into the desk.
