The Greatest Sinner

Chapter 233 - The Case

Immediately after the messages appeared, the second golden Pillar fell next to a huge rat. Evan felt a strong desire to get everything in this world. He wanted to take everything from everyone. After a while, Evan curbed this strange feeling, and his eyes stopped shining and became amethyst as before.

"Mammon's Gaze... there's someone else's name in the name of the spell again. I hope I can find out who or what it is..." Mumbled Evan.

As he had expected, after unlocking all the circuits, his vision was even better.. But, what interested him most was the spell he had received. Evan couldn't wait to try it out and put it to the test.

"This should be something interesting." Pronounced Evan, and the next moment his Warp spun.

Suddenly his left eye turned to gold, and the world looked different. Evan's gaze fell on one of the mana crystals, and suddenly he saw strange messages in front of him.

[Mana Crystal.

Mana reserve equal to - 80%.

Rank - 1

Rarity - common]

<What the fuck?!> thought Evan, trying to figure out what was going on.

He immediately canceled the spell, and the color of his eye returned to normal. Evan was confused, at first he thought it was a hallucination, but after a minute, he realized it was a strange effect.

"Okay, we'll have to try again." Mumbled Evan and his Warp spun.

He cast Mammon's Gaze once more, and his left eye changed its color to gold. Evan directed his gaze to the other mana crystal, but nothing happened.

<I can't be imagining it,> Evan thought and decided to concentrate.

[Mana Crystal.

Mana reserve equal to - 60%.

Rank - 1

Rarity - common]

"Hmm, this spell gives me information about various things, it's very strange, but I think it will be extremely useful. We need to test it on humans and weapons right away."

Evan was still surprised, but now he was sure it was the effect of the spell. "Lucifer's Shackles" and "Mammon's Gaze" were very unusual spells, but Evan knew they were also very useful and powerful.

<Mammon's Gaze also contains divine and demonic energy. Luckily my body had adapted to the changes, and those two energies no longer threatened me. On the one hand, it's good that I've already experienced this horrible feeling. There were no surprises this time.>

Whooosh.

Evan's spatial ring glowed, and a scythe as dark as the abyss appeared in his hands. Evan looked at his new weapon, and several messages immediately appeared in front of him.

[Dark Reaper.]

Rank - 1

Rarity - Rare]

<Rank? Rarity? Hmm, with this spell, I can find out the name of the item and its power. I think I know what Rank means. It's a rank one weapon, and it says the same thing. But, the Rarity parameter is a bit unclear to me. But, I have an idea, and I know how to check it.>

Evan thought and left the room for 'Creation.' Evan had been in this room for over a month, and no one had alarmed him at his behest.

"I wonder what Malespera has accomplished in this month? I hope she's already broken through her first Barrier. I could call that pretty high speed." Mumbled Evan and headed for the main hall.

He wanted to go to the estimator, but first, he decided to check on Malespera. He was curious to see how fast this girl was progressing.

"Mr. Evan! Good afternoon!" Bowing, the maid said.

Evan just nodded and walked on, but suddenly an interesting idea came to him. He turned around and concentrated his gaze on the girl.

[Aina Tufte

Race - Human

Rank - 0]

<Hmm, she's human, and her Rank is 0. That's probably because she's a mere mortal. I need to test this look on Malespera and other mages, it gets more and more interesting>.

Evan thought and went on his way. He didn't see Malespera on his way to the main hall, but he wasn't going there because of the girl. Evan was going to ask his butler about Malespera's whereabouts. He needed to be aware of all the events that were going on at the manor.

...

"Oh, sir, good afternoon." The butler said respectfully when he saw Evan walking in his direction.

Evan nodded and looked intently at the man. It was worth noting that Mammon's Gaze was an unusual spell in terms of wasting mana. Unless Evan canceled this spell, it was constantly active. Evan wasted only a little mana when he concentrated his gaze on a target, but that amount could be compared to a drop in the whole ocean. In other words, Evan could keep Mammon's Gaze activated all the time.

[Sebastian Torson

[Race - Human

Rank - 0.2]

<Rank - 0.2? It's weird, Sebastian is not a mage, I thought all common people have a Rank of 0, but I guess I was wrong. As far as I know Sebastian was a skilled swordsman in the past, he is much stronger than most commoners. Maybe that's why his Rank is a little higher.>

"Evan-san, what happened to your left eye?" Sebastian asked.

After Evan cast the Mammon's Gaze, he looked like a man with heterochromia. His right eye was amethyst, and his left was gold.

"It's okay, just the effects of using one spell. Sebastian, where is my sister now?" Evan asked calmly.

"Mistress Malespera is at the training ground right now. She has been there for a long time and won't even break for a little snack. At this rate, she will be exhausted."

Evan nodded and said: "Have someone bring food to the practice area in about ten minutes."

"Got it," Sebastian replied.

The next moment he pulled a silver case from his inside pocket and opened it. The case contained a small magic orb, and next to it were three crystals filled with mana.

The manor Evan bought was worth several million gold coins. It was one of the best in all of Vextin. It had everything and was top-notch. From the hot springs to the training grounds.

The servants at this estate were also professionals. Even though they were ordinary people and servants, they got quite a lot of money, even by Vextin's standards. For example, a novice mage living in some distant city could be a less wealthy man than Sebastian. Of course, it was strongly influenced by the fact that everything in Vextin was costly and luxurious in this case.

It wasn't just the fruit of the frost plants and the sale of the Flaming Crystals that made this town so big and rich. Talented entrepreneurs and powerful mages have greatly influenced this city. Thanks to them and their leadership, this city is constantly evolving and getting better.

With the case that Sebastian pulled out, he was able to communicate with other servants at a distance. Sebastian was not a mage, but since the magic orb was fueled by mana from the mana crystals, this was not a problem.

All Sebastian had to do was put his hand on the magic ball and press the button next to it.

When Sebastian did this, the magic ball lit up, and he calmly said: "Listen to the command..."

He instructed the cooks and servants to have the food on the training ground in ten minutes.

Each servant had an earring with a small stone set into it. This stone was connected to the magic ball in Sebastian's case. Thus Sebastian did not need to go anywhere to give such instructions. He could be heard anywhere in the manor.
