When Did I Become An Artifact Dealer?! Chapter 27: Instructor

The argunt ended in a weird atmosphere as the patriarch kept deflecting the issue to money.

Sir Rosen looked at the satisfied patriarch speechlessly. "You really hate those elders."

The patriarch snorted. "Why are they acting like court ministers? Scheming there, scheming everywhere. What do they want from this family? We are basically just a hollow shell." Then he sighed. "Most aristocratic families are now hollow shells."

"Now with the new era, the Void Regulation Authority (VRA) was becoming particularly strict with void users." The old man shook his head. "eting with their chairman is a hassle. That stoic old guy's face always haunts my nightmares."

"That's probably because the Hollow Accord is now becoming more active." Mr Rosen said as he sipped the tea.

"Those shit heads are really causing trouble everywhere." The patriarch murmured. "I don't know what's going on, but it seems to have been getting worse these days."

Mr Rosen rembered sothing. "Wasn't the heir of the Vexley family attacked just a while ago?"

The patriarch thought about it. "Yeah, it was a fortunate accident. Their son managed to awaken void energy. They are now eligible to access the other world."

Thinking about the recent events, Mr Rosen felt that sothing was brewing. "A lot of ordinary people are now encountering void users. I don't know if this is a signal for so kind of chaos, or just the wheel of life evolving."

"If sothing bad is happening then let it happen." The patriarch didn't care. "Let's find a way to solve that problem when the problem is already there."

"A lot of ordinary elites have now gained interest in the void." Thinking about the ss that was happening, Mr Rosen felt headache.

Hearing that, the patriarch rember, "Wasn't there a talented lad that ca from the Eldreth family? What was his na again?"

Mr Rosen was also quite impressed. "Saeb Eldreth. That's his na. For soone who had ordinary parents, he is really talented that he could compete with those from the eclipse section."

"Very talented indeed. That kid had the potential. His affinity is also quite rare." The patriarch approved of that kid. "Oh, how much I hope my descendants were like that."

"You have a lot of grandchildren." Mr Rosen noted.

"Probably the reason why those elders felt like court ministers is because that trash kept collecting won as if he were a emperor." Trash was referring to his son.

He rembered Neris's mother. "Such a good child. Sotis I regretted agreeing to their marriage."

Sotis, he can't help but wish for a daughter. All his son's are headaches.

"I rembered Blue Beard's daughter..." He sighed in lancholy.

"The kid that went missing years ago?" Mr Rosen rembered that.

The patriarch went silent. Not wanting to speak any more of that topic.

Feeling that the patriarch seed to be a bit down, the professor asked sothing to distract him. "About the Arcane Brooch. What are gonna do with it?"

"Try to find soone to fix it?" The patriarch wasn't optimistic. "I think that already gone for good."

Mr Rosen mouth twitched. "So you think the trade was useless?"

"Not really, at least Neris got that dusty coin out of that house." He old man waved bus hand. "No matter how special it is, if we can't use it, then it's useless."

"You have such a broad perspective about the coin." Other people would have hoard it.

"Yeah yeah yeah. But who's that dealer that gave the brooch? Can you give his details? It's pretty rare for dealer now to be this honest." Then the old man had a shady look on his face.

Mr Rosen was speechless looking at the old man concocting so plan. "You want to recruit him? What happened to the— oh, I rember. You killed your previous contracted dealer."

Rember what happened, the old man smirked. "That guy was testing my patience."

This old man was off his rocker, once sothing pissed him off, he'll do everything that he can to remove the sand in his eyes.

"That was an instructor at the academy." Mr Rosen said.

The old man searched hard in his mory but was confused. "Is he new? I have never heard of a dealer instructor before."

Mr Rosen also haven't heard of it either. Actually, there had been ti where they were a bit suspicious about this instructor, but when the asked the principal about it, that instructor's void energy that was left behind at the plaza after the artifact briefing match with one if their staffs on their record.

Just to be sure, they even found the file. It was strange but there was the legal signature of the academy, aning that it was a legal docunt.

"He seed to be a outside instructor. According to the file, he had been a academy staff for almost 500 years now..." After seeing that numbers, everyone was in disbelief.

500 years? That is equivalent to those ascendants lifespan! This instructor must be soone very powerful.

The patriarch was also agape. Almost 500 years ans that instructor saw the peak era of void users.

The old man was curious. "Any more information about him?"

Mr Rosen was helpless. "No. The picture was blurry and the na was unreadable."

500 years is a long ti even for void users. But strange people exist and there are a lot of outside instructors in their files that surpassed the 200 year mark. The longest was 1000 years but they all kinda assud that man is probably dead. There had been no contact of him.

"I thought the oldest living outside instructor was Indri. Now this guy is breaking the record."

Could it be that a good chunk of those instructors are still alive?

"That man had to be at least Ascendants level!" The old man concluded. "But aren't most Ascendants now either dead or missing? How did that man survived?"

"No idea." Why would you ask that? Mr Rosen thought.

"That generational habit of your academy of accepting strange people as long as they are strong, when will that change?" What the patriarch ant is that, most staffs at the academy are weirdos with strange tempers.

But Mr Rosen misunderstood. "We aren't accepting outside instructors now, but that dealer was already on the list before the policy was implent, so we couldn't do anything. His status will remain valid until he breached the contract."

The old man averted his eyes and did not clear the misunderstanding. "That guy must be a 'good' dealer."

But patriarch was still curious. "What does the man looked like? Blurry pictures doesn't an it's not visible. At least tell what guy can make out of it!"

Looking at the childish old man, Mr Rosen spilled the beans.

"I couldn't see the features clearly, but it's a man with a golden-rimd glasses wearing a fashionable white vintage suit."
