The young man's words undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Daniel. He couldn't help but feel that everyone's gazes on him were full of ridicule, as if they were mocking his lack of knowledge.
Daniel felt a sense of unwillingness deep within. Once this mark was placed on him, how could he continue to fit into this circle?
"It's just a basic level Artifact. Even if it has an intermediate grade inscription, it doesn't prove much, after all, the limit is already set," Daniel said.
The young man gave him a sidelong glance. "Who are you?"
"Young Master Sabate. He is Daniel," Yannis approached and explained at the right moment.
As soon as he heard the name of Sabate, Daniel's expression turned paler. Although the Sabate surname was common in the country, the only person whom Yannis would address as "Young Master Sabate" was from the big family in that place.
Mikel Sabate didn't care about who Daniel was. Upon hearing Yannis's words, he let out a cold snort, "Narrow-minded. Not only does this basic level Amulet have an intermediate grade inscription, but its power rivals that of a Intermediate level Amulet. Just the fact that this person managed to create such a weapon that exceeds its grade, who's to say he can't create a Intermediate level Artifact with an advanced grade inscription in the future? And nothing's impossible for him."
With each word, Daniel's complexion turned a shade whiter. In the end, he almost turned into an ashen color, retreating into the crowd, too embarrassed to show his face again.
"How did you obtain this Artifact?" Mikel was more curious about the person who crafted the Artifact, such potential was exceedingly rare.
Everyone's attention focused on Samuel. The person praised by Mikel must be a talented Artificer, and quite a few had already become interested.
"I purchased the Artifact on the Red Espiritual Net. The shop is called 'World's Number One Artificer,' and the shopkeeper is named Ashe," Samuel reported truthfully.
Everyone secretly noted this name.
Mikel nodded, returned the Artifact to Samuel, and walked away.
Yannis immediately caught up to him and asked the young man, who was nearly seven or eight years his junior, "Young Master Sabate, you mentioned this is the second basic level Artifact you've seen with an intermediate grade inscription. Who was the first?"
"Who else could it be? I have other matters to attend to. You handle your own business," Mikel replied.
While Mikel didn't provide a clear answer, Yannis's steps came to a halt.
His heart raced, and the only person he could think of was that guy from Heavenly Path University.
Could it be an unkwon shopkeeper who had suddenly emerged on Red Espiritual Net had possess the same potential as the guy from Heavenly Path University when he was young?
He had his doubts, but he believed Mikel wouldn't lie.
Narrowing his eyes, Yannis realized that if he could win over this person, his position within the his family would rise, and he would gain access to more resources.
With this in mind, he immediately signaled to his steward.
"What can I do for you, Young Master?"
"Go and fetch Samuel, tell him I need to speak with him," Yannis instructed his family's steward.
Samuel had a pretty good idea of what this was about when he heard Yannis wanted to meet with him.
As expected, when they met, Yannis got straight to the point.
"Samuel, you're a clever person. I assume you know what I want to ask."
Samuel wore a wry smile. "Young Master Yannis, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I genuinely don't know anything. I was introduced to that person by an acquaintance. They bought a weapon on the Red Espiritual Net and found it impressive, so they introduced it to me." He deliberately skipped mentioning Carlos, not wanting to implicate him.
Yannis furrowed his brow, understanding that Samuel was unlikely to lie. After Samuel left, he immediately dispatched someone to investigate.
After the gathering ended and he saw off Mikel, Yannis instructed his servants not to disturb him while he returned to his room and logged into the Red Espiritual Net.
He found the shop "World's Number One Artificer" that Samuel had mentioned and discovered that someone had reserved two intermediate level Artifacts, which were of a higher level than the basic level Artifacts Samuel had mentioned earlier.
Because someone had already reserved the Artifacts, others couldn't view the information about the weapons anymore. Yannis had some influence on the Red Espiritual Net and quickly found out by asking around.
