Reclaiming the Demon’s Curse - Chapter 191

‘Haa~ I wonder what to donate…’

Cyril could easily decide. However, since Vanessa had already given samples, his options narrowed as he thought of what to contribute.

Aside from that, he’s not thinking of only contributing one thing. After all, Vanessa said that the more valuable things he gave, the better treatment he’ll get.

Considering those words, he decided not to limit his contribution to a single item. He can give two or more things to them if necessary!

“Alright… I thought of three things to give.” Cyril said with a smile.

“Three things? I understand. I will judge if they will be enough. However, there should be four more members to assess the value of these things before you can be accepted. Once you got accepted, your name or alias will be posted on our bulletin including your contributions.”

Vanessa explained.

“Got it… So the first thing is about the Bead Artifacts.”

“Bead Artifacts? Is that what we used for to trigger the Second Awakening?”***

“That’s right. I participated and was placed in the Assimilation Chamber, right?”

“Of course, I remember that. You have gone in there for six whole days!” Vanessa still recalls what happened on that day when Sir Morev of the Research Task Force reported how Cyril has stayed in the Assimilation Chamber for two days that continued until the sixth day.

“That’s the time where you completed your Second Awakened and became a genuine A-Rank Awakened… Well, I’m guessing that you actually reawakened as S-Rank at that time. So, will you share the secret on how to rank up a couple of times?” She added.

Cyril couldn’t help but smile at this… Anyway, he immediately cleared up the misunderstanding.

“Well, the truth is that I’m already an S-Rank Awakened since the beginning… I don’t really intend to lie but I just need to hide my real strength since I’m still a newbie and I don’t even have any Artifacts I can use to protect myself. I thought that I can be easily forced to sign a contract with someone if I immediately revealed my rank…”

“Ho~ That makes sense. However, if you’re an S-Rank from the beginning, it’s amazing that you could control your Aura to the level you can deceive the person who tested you. Ugh… Never mind that… I just want to know now what is the real reward you received from that Bead Artifact. If it’s not Second Awakening, that six days you spent must’ve given you an even more incredible reward, right?”

“That’s correct… It’s the Dimensional Storage Space…”

Cyril then explained to Vanessa how it works and how he managed to get it. This information is definitely something valuable that none of the members of the Union are aware of.

Nevertheless, there is a limit to this benefit since the only ones who can have such an opportunity are those at B-Rank, A-Rank, and S-Rank Awakened.

For the lower ranks, the highest they could get as a reward is the Second Awakening while the lowest would be an increase in their Aura Reserves.

“T-that’s incredible! Dimensional Storage Space… Is it similar to the Spatial Bag?”

“You’re right. However, the Storage that you’ll get from here has a lot more space. Of course, there is also a chance to fail and die if it was done incorrectly. So I can’t really recommend it unless they have top-tier control over their Aura.”

Cyril then showed how the ability works and made Vanessa convinced that it’s really a piece of incredible information. Normally, this kind of thing can only be discovered after numerous years of experiments considering how complicated it was.

“However, you said that you want to contribute three things… What’s the second one?” Vanessa now felt excited considering that the first one is already enough to get him a spot. However, just like what Cyril is thinking, it’s indeed better to give more at this point.

“The second one would be the recipe of the Top-Grade Aura Recovery Potion…”

‘In truth, I’m planning to give the recipe to Aunt Bonnie once she managed to improve a bit more in her skills. However, I can contribute this recipe ahead of time since it requires a set of specific skills to make and its ingredients are also difficult to find. So even if I give this now, it should be fine since no one will be capable of making them as of yet.’ Cyril added in his mind.

He knows the level of skills of the Alchemists and Pharmacists of the current timeline and he knows that they wouldn’t be able to make a Top-Grade Potion.

“A Top-Grade Aura Recovery Potion… That’s indeed something you can’t find so easily. The ones being sold in the market are at those at the lower levels.”

Vanessa nodded after seeing the potion. Aura Recovery Items may not be that rare but a Top-Grade one is definitely something anyone would like to have. As for the ingredients and Alchemists needed to make them, she felt that with the help of the Union, they would be able to find them in a matter of time.

“As for my last contribution, I’m still not sure about the value of these things… However, can you check them out for me if they are good enough? If not, I’ll think of something else.”

Cyril said before he took out a pouch of Fiendish Gold Coins and Night Coins.

There is a total of 10 Gold Coins and 5 Night Coins in the Pouch.

“These are Demon’s Coins… No—I mean, these are the coins that the Demon was looking for!” Vanessa gasp in surprise after seeing the black coins in the pouch.

Cyril heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Vanessa’s surprised voice. After all, he had only learned about their purpose from the collector.

However, regarding their value to the human world, he’s unsure about it and he couldn’t find a record about them being sold at all.

“It’s great that they are valuable. To be honest, I’m not sure how useful they are. If you can help me, I will be grateful.”

Cyril said while looking at Vanessa’s gaping mouth. She looks quite attractive like this compared to her usual business smile.

“Of course… I told you before that there is indeed a demon within the Union. This Demon doesn’t really show up most of the time. However, whenever the demon appears, their actions are always watched. Recently, we discovered that the demon is actually looking for these coins.”

Cyril remained silent and continued listening to her following words.

“When there were 10 of these black coins that have appeared in the Market, the seller traded it with the Demon… If I remember it correctly, that man received a small figurine that appears like a Two-Headed Rage Wolf.”

“A figurine?” Cyril perked up after hearing her words. He has 20 of these figurines in his Spatial Bag after all.

‘Right, I actually forgot to ask Amaris about these Night Coins. Can she also make a trade for that?’ Cyril mused.

“That’s right… It seems that these black coins can be traded for those figurines. I heard that they are actually real monsters trapped inside that figurine. As long as you know how to unseal them, you can use them in case of emergency to fight against your enemy. Isn’t that very convenient?”

Vanessa explained.

“How about the gold coins? In truth, I discovered that they are called Fiendish Gold Coins and the black ones are called the Fiendish Night Coins.”

“Honestly, I’m not sure about the gold coins since none of them has appeared before. Perhaps we have to ask that Demon to evaluate it for us.”

“I see… If we found out that they are valuable and I contributed 10 of these black coins and a hundred of these gold coins, may I ask what will happen to them? Who will take care of it?”

Cyril asked sincerely. He wanted to know how they operate and make use of the donated or contributed items after all.

“Well, I’m pretty sure that they will be sent to our inventory first unless there is something we really have to exchange for it. Once the Union needed them, they will be appropriately used, don’t worry.”

Vanessa replied as she decided to inform Cyril on what to do if he really intended to contribute the three things he mentioned.

After more than two hours in her office, Cyril finally completed providing the documented information about the Bead Artifacts, the Potion Recipe, and the Coins. They will later be evaluated by other members of the Union.

He handed them over to Vanessa as he received the Golden Grace Merchant Union’s Token in exchange. Since she’s confident that he’ll be accepted in the Union, she decided to give it in advance and taught him how to use it.

“Alright… Just let me know once our store is officially part of the Union and I’ll let Aunt Bonnie handle it.”

Cyril said. Apparently, it is their Timeless Artifacts and Alchemy Store that he registered and not only him.. This will allow Bonnie to have more influence after all.
