NOVEL NEXT Chapter 26
Chapter 26: Illusory Vicious Grass!
His only hope now was that Rolce did not know which monster this horn was from.
This way, he wouldn’t be too embarrassed.
After all, it would be something that even Rolce couldn’t identify.
Thus, it would be normal for him not to be able to identify it.
He looked at Rolce expectantly.
Rolce seemed to have read his mind. He smiled and spoke to his students.
“Actually, it’s not a horn, nor is it a Gold-rank extraordinary item!”
Without caring how the people around him reacted, he continued, “This is actually just a blade of special grass!”
There was silence!
It was quiet!
After all, no one had expected Rolce to say such a thing.
There was a long pause.
Then, someone tried to ask, “But Mr. Rolce, how is this possible? This is clearly a horn!”
Once someone spoke, many people followed.
“That’s right, Mr. Rolce, how can it look like a horn like this!”
“Furthermore, the Gold-rank aura from this horn is also real!”
“Could Mr. Rolce be mistaken in his appraisal?”
Everyone fell silent again upon hearing this.
In the past, this sentence would definitely be mocked by many people.
A wrong appraisal?
This was Mr. Rolce!
Mr. Rolce would definitely not be wrong!
However, it seemed like he was going to make a mistake today!
After all, this appraisal was simply too ridiculous.
Everyone saw that it was a horn and could clearly feel the Gold-rank aura from it.
Thus, this was not fake!
However, Mr. Rolce said that it was a blade of grass!
How was this possible?!
Was Mr. Rolce going to make his first mistake in his appraisal?!
Everyone could not help but think of the same thing.
Especially the adventurer who had stepped up.
A hint of joy flashed across his eyes when he heard Rolce’s words, but he did not say anything.
After all, even if Rolce’s appraisal was wrong, it was not something he could mock.
Even Rolce’s students were confused, but they did not voice their doubts.
As his students, they naturally knew that their teacher was not a boastful person. Since he could say such words, he naturally had a basis for doing so.
Thus, they began to bury their heads in their thoughts.
What kind of grass looked like a horn?
Even when faced with the doubts around him, Rolce did not panic and was in no hurry to refute.
He naturally did not care about the doubts of outsiders.
The only thing he cared about now was whether any of his students recognized the item.
Time ticked by.
Then, a student slapped his forehead and shouted.
“I know! This is the Illusory Vicious Grass!”
The other students instantly understood when they heard the words “Illusory Vicious Grass”.
Rolce nodded in satisfaction when he saw that a student could reply to him.
Not bad. This batch of students was rather decent.
Meanwhile, when the surrounding people saw this, they were even more confused.
Although they did not know what the Illusory Vicious Grass was, they could tell that…
Mr. Rolce did not appraise the horn casually. After all, the results of the appraisal had produced a proper name.
He had not spoken nonsense.
“I knew it. How could Mr. Rolce be wrong in his appraisal!”
“That’s right, I told you not to jump to conclusions!”
“You’re right. I’ve always had the greatest trust in Mr. Rolce!”
…
At that moment, the crowd instantly changed their way of thinking once again.
The situation changed instantly and everyone started to praise Rolce.
It was as if they were not the ones who had voiced their doubts.
However, Rolce could not be bothered with these clowns.
Instead, he began to explain.
“When identifying what an item is, you naturally have to start from its appearance and texture!”
“However, this world is too big and there are too many things. Thus, most of these things also have some special functions.”
“The Illusory Vicious Grass is one of them. It can transform into other organisms and will automatically emit a fierce aura!”
“That’s why you mistook it for the horn of a Gold-rank monster!”
“This is a common mistake in the profession of appraisers!”
“When you have more experience in the future, you won’t be fooled anymore!”
Rolce took the horn back as he spoke.
He wiped a part of the horn and the horn immediately turned into a ray of fluorescent light.
Then, it became a blade of grass.
Although it had turned into a blade of grass, it still emitted a Gold-rank aura.
There was no doubt that this provided evidence for Rolce’s words.
After seeing all of this, everyone finally understood.
This horn was really a blade of grass!
Rolce had not failed in his appraisal!
He was still the man with a 100% success rate in appraisals.
“Speaking of Illusory Vicious Grass, I’ve seen it in a book. It’s really like this!”
“I see. Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Rolce!”
“That’s right. This world is too big, and there are too many things that we have never seen before. Therefore, we must read and learn more, and boast less.”
“Indeed. You have to be more humble and learn, especially when you don’t know many things. You might think that you are knowledgeable, but you may actually be just a country bumpkin.”
“It’s fine if he’s just a bumpkin, but he still wants to show off like a clown!”
These words were almost targeted at that adventurer.
The adventurer who had initially stepped up almost buried his face in his neck while everyone looked at him.
After hearing the appraisal, Jason’s initial anticipation instantly fell from the sky.
He became very disappointed.
He did not expect that what seemed like a treasure to him was just a blade of grass.
It was not a Gold-rank item at all.
“Then, Mr. Rolce, how much can this Illusory Vicious Grass be worth?” Jason said indignantly.
“Although the Illusory Vicious Grass is a Brass-rank plant, because of its special characteristics, it can still be exchanged for 10 Silver Coins!” Rolce smiled.
Hearing that he could get 10 Silver Coins, Jason’s ugly expression relaxed greatly.
Although it was far inferior to the initial Gold Coin, it wasn’t worthless.
It was only worth just a little less.
Rolce nodded at him. Then, he was prepared to return.
After all, there were many people today.
If he delayed any longer, he would only be able to get off work at night.
Just as he was about to leave, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, “Mr. Rolce, please appraise that eyeball!”
The person who spoke was someone who had just been scolded by that adventurer as “ignorant”.
After seeing that the adventurer’s appraisal had failed, he wanted Rolce to appraise the eyeball in James’s hand again.
Since that adventurer could make a mistake once, he might be wrong this time too.
Many people agreed and chimed in.
“Yes, Mr. Rolce, please appraise this eyeball!”
“Yes, Mr. Rolce!”
