My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills-Chapter 129 - 117: Transformation_2

’No way! Such a powerful force, can’t possibly just control Father, there must be a plot... If the sheriff of Dorne City, my father, has been replaced, how can we ensure other nobles in Dorne City haven’t been controlled... or even replaced?’

’At the very least, I can’t be sure of that.’

’Seek out Mentor Gina? No, it’s not appropriate to drag the mentor into this matter.’

’Raine and Elise... that’s even more impossible, I can’t drag good friends into this. Besides, how could newly promoted Classes possibly be a match for the Shapeshifter, not to mention its backing force.’

Suddenly, Reya paused while climbing down the cliffside, recalling the four tall Leather Armor Swordsmen guarding the entrance to the basement when she first entered the castle.

’Wait! Basement?’

’The guards there are so strict, could it be that Father is imprisoned there?’

...

Mill Town.

Inside a small meeting room in the Adventurer’s Association.

The conversation between Raine and the others continued.

"Of course, this is just my personal idea. If the association has regulations, naturally we follow them." Raine nodded, showing understanding.

"Yes, yes. Mr. Raine, Miss Elise, could you two sign this document please?"

Raine glanced at the thin sheepskin scroll handed over by Liya, which roughly stated that participating in the promotion assessment entails certain risks,

"Mr. Raine, do you have anything else you need to ask?"

"By the way, I have some loot here, should be Magic Items, can the association appraise them?"

"Magic Items? Mr. Raine, you’re in luck, Appraiser Yakson happens to be at our branch today." Liya’s eyes lit up immediately, said.

"Appraiser Yakson?"

"Yes, you might not know, Appraiser Yakson is an Advanced Appraiser who can cast Identification Spell, usually stationed in Dorne City, but takes a few days each month to tour the branches under its jurisdiction."

Through Liya’s explanation, Raine understood the reason behind this.

For Magic Equipment, if you want to clearly understand their effects, including recharge time and other information, the most convenient and reliable method is naturally to cast the First Level Identification Spell.

But the problem is, casting the Identification Spell requires an Official Mage, even the Adventurer’s Association’s size and scale cannot station a mage as an appraiser at village-level branches.

Hence, they adopt a touring approach.

Of course, at village-level association branches, there are basically Mage Apprentice level or knowledgeable ordinary people who rely on rich experience to serve as appraisers, mostly Basic or maximum Mid-Level Appraisers.

Meeting routine identification needs is not an issue, fees are also more down-to-earth, affordable for the lower-level adventurers. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Just then, Liya seemed to have thought of something, frowned slightly, and continued, "Um... Mr. Raine, it’s like this."

"Black Iron Level adventurers enjoy a ten-percent discount on appraisal fees, but for now, you need to pay the full appraisal fee."

"My personal opinion is that if you’re not in a hurry, perhaps you could consider appraising after completing the promotion task."

"Ten-percent discount?"

"Yes."

"Then... let’s appraise."

Raine understood Liya’s meaning, after being promoted to Black Iron Level adventurer, appraising Magic Items would be cheaper.

But the problem is, the Pendant he held could almost certainly be a defensive Magic Pendant, while the effect of the other badge and Wild Boar Earth Diviner’s staff was unclear. If after appraisal they were suitable, they could be used personally, enhancing overall combat strength.

If unsuitable, they could be sold earlier; he needed to undergo the promotion assessment soon, his damaged Chest Armor required replacement, and he owed Elise a significant amount of money.

"Alright, Mr. Raine, then please follow me."

...

"Excuse me, may I interrupt? Mr. Weber, is Appraiser Yakson present?"

It was Raine’s first time visiting the association’s appraisal room. A middle-aged man was seated at a thick wooden desk, busy examining a long sword with a magnifying glass.

He knew, this Mr. Weber should be the Basic or Mid-Level Appraiser residing at Mill Town Adventurer’s Association, mainly responsible for daily non-magic item appraisals.

The appraisal room was surrounded with many books; Raine glanced slightly and found they were mostly related to appraisal, such as "Mountain Dwarf Forging Style", "Urein Empire’s Forging Skill Branches"...

"Present, Miss Liya, Appraiser Yakson is in the next room." Weber looked up at Liya, smiled gently, with a warm attitude.

"Thank you, Mr. Weber."

Three people entered the next room.

An elder with gray hair but a keen spirit, wearing a gray Mage Robe, was intently playing with an irregular stone.

"Appraiser Yakson, excuse us, this is Mr. Raine, he wishes to appraise a few Magic Equipment."

"Oh?" The elder with noticeable crow’s feet at the corners of his eyes heard ’Magic Equipment’, became quite interested, looked at Raine and Elise, kindly said, "Please sit down, young gentlemen."

"Thank you." Raine perceived Yakson’s aura as refined but not oppressive, likely at Classes Level 2 or at most Level 3 Mage.

Without wasting time, Raine first took out the badge.

If the Pendant could guess some effects, for this badge, Raine really had no idea what effect it carried.
