The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1621

As they approached the Talisman hall, Gerald saw that the entire building was plated in gold. There also appeared to be a huge stone tablet carved into the shape of a secret technique talisman in front of the building.

Since it was located near the entrance, it was only fair to assume that the tablet was the symbol of the Talisman Hall…

Not many people came to the Talisman Hall in general, and those who did were usually dressed in luxurious clothing. That didn’t really come as a surprise, however, since this place was even fancier than even the most expensive of locations within Jaellatra.

Regardless, upon arriving at the main entrance, Gerald and Nori were greeted by the sight of a man donning a robe that looked similar to a court robe.

Naturally, one needed to fulfill certain conditions to even be able to enter the building, and the man acted as the doorkeeper of the Talisman Hall.

After looking at a charm that Nori fished out from her pocket, the doorkeeper’s eyes instantly lit up as he smiled before respectfully saying, “Welcome, Miss Zahn!”

The charm was an identity charm, and such charms were used to symbolize one’s status within Jaellatra. Since Nori was the eldest young lady of the Zahn family—a rather prestigious family within Earth Capital—the doorkeeper naturally knew who Nori was.

Either way, after nodding in response at the doorkeeper, Nori then asked, “He’s my friend, so he should be allowed to enter a well, correct?”

“Yes, by all means! Please, come in!” replied the doorkeeper respectfully as he opened the door of the Talisman Hall before gesturing for them to enter.

“Thank you!” replied Nori with a polite tone before leading Gerald into the Talisman Hall’s main lobby.

Once they were inside, Gerald was immediately flabbergasted by the number of exquisite secret technique talismans displayed within the hall.

“The secret technique talismans within the lobby are the most unique ones in all of Jaellatra. After all, there’s only one of each talisman! With that said, they’re all extremely rare and precious! Do note, however, that since all these talismans are of perfect quality, they aren’t ever going to be sold or auctioned off!” explained Nori as she pointed at the talismans displayed in the lobby.

“Now, you may or may not know this, but secret technique talismans are divided into six main categories, them being basic, common, middle, high, rare, and perfect! As I said earlier, apart from the few talismans within this hall’s lobby, no other perfect talismans exist!” added Nori who was starting to sound more and more like a tour guide.

“Aren’t the most skillful advanced secret technique talisman crafters able to produce talismans of perfect quality?” asked Gerald.

Shaking her head with a slightly bitter smile, Nori then replied, “Even though Boshier is already a great master in making secret technique talismans, he’s only capable of producing ones of the rare quality. He hasn’t been able to improve his skills enough to create a talisman of perfect quality!”

“The perfect ones you see in the lobby were created a few decades ago by the first secret technique talisman crafter, Master Kyzer. Throughout history, nobody’s been able to surpass Master Kyzer’s skill, and nobody has any idea how he even managed to make such perfect talismans! It’s been an ongoing mystery, you know?”

After hearing all that, Gerald’s interest in secret technique talismans slowly grew. Eventually, he couldn’t help but ask, “I do wonder if there’s a way for one to learn how to make talismans…”

“Of course, there is! Essentially, one has to first join the Talisman Union, and there also needs to be a special tutor willing to accept that person as their student. Without those two, it’s near impossible to learn anything about talisman making,” replied Nori.

So, he first needed to get himself a tutor before he could even begin learning how to make talismans… This was going to be a challenge for Gerald. After all, the only person he knew in Jaellatra was Nori.

Forget tutors, he didn’t even know a single teacher here! With that in mind, it was certainly going to be difficult for him to learn how to make secret technique talismans…

“Still, why are you suddenly asking me about this? Could you be interested in learning how to craft secret technique talismans?” asked Nori as she smiled at him.

Seeing that she seemed to have caught on, Gerald didn’t deny it and simply nodded slowly.

“…Well, if you truly are interested in learning, I could introduce you to someone I know. He’s a Second-rank Talisman Master within the Talisman Union, and his name is Chace Hunt. He’s an old friend of my father!” suggested Nori.

“Is that possible? I mean, I’m not even a local to Jaellatra. Am I qualified to learn how to craft secret technique talismans…?” asked Gerald, knowing full well about the prejudice many people from Jaellatra had against those from earth. There was simply too massive a difference between the people from the two lands.

“Don’t worry, Master Hunt is a nice person, so I’m sure he won’t mind! Besides, my father isn’t one to ostracize those from outside Jaellatra!” replied Nori, convincing him not to worry too much about it.

“…Well, alright then. However, I still have some matters to attend to, so I won’t be able to start learning just yet. I’d appreciate it if I could start learning when I return here again!” said Gerald after thinking about it for a moment.

“No problem!” replied Nori as both of them finally made their way into the hall where the talismans were sold.

Noticing their arrival, a sales staff smiled brightly as she quickly walked over to the duo before respectfully saying, “Welcome! How may I help you?”

People who were able to enter the Talisman Hall weren’t ordinary folk, so the sales staff was well aware that he had to be on his best behavior in front of them.

“My friend’s here to buy some talismans!” replied Nori.

“Ah, I see! Please, come this way, then! I’ll first be showing you the new talismans made by Great Talisman Master Boshier first!” replied the staff as he led them to a display counter decorated with gold. Within it, a row of talismans could be seen…

“These are the latest rare quality talismans that Master Boshier made. There are attack spell talismans, defense spell talismans, stratagem spell talismans, as well as space spell talismans,” explained the staff in great detail.

Upon seeing them, Gerald couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed. While the talismans were nothing short of marveling, each of their price labels—which were displayed at the bottom of each talisman—started with units that began in the millions! No wonder Nori had earlier asked him whether he was sure if he had enough with him! As it turned out, the hundred million dollars that he had obtained from Johnie was only sufficient to buy two talismans at most!

Judging from the expression on Gerald’s face, Nori was immediately able to tell that he didn’t have enough on him. With that in mind, she then leaned a bit closer to Gerald before whispering, “Is there anything you fancy, Gerald…?”

Upon hearing that, Gerald simply shook his head before turning to look at the staff again and asking, “Are there any other talismans here apart from these?”

Since this place was so huge, it was only fair to assume that much cheaper talismans were also sold here.

“But of course! Please, follow me!” replied the staff as he led Gerald and Nori into another hall.

Upon entering, a multitude of talismans could be seen hung dazzlingly on the walls. With all of them seeming to have varying levels of quality, Gerald quickly began browsing to see which ones he needed.

Thankfully, the ones inside this hall were much affordable, ranging only from prices between a few thousand to several million dollars.

It took him about an hour, but by the time Gerald was finally done, he had bought a few hundred middle and high-quality talismans. He got himself a few dozen rare quality ones as well.

In total, the final sum amounted to a whopping hundred and thirty million dollars! Naturally, Gerald had used his own money to cover the extra costs. Still, Gerald now knew how pricey these talismans could get!

Even so, they were a necessary purchase. After all, he wanted to have them ready for self-defense and also in case of emergencies. The best thing about talismans was that not only did they have varying functionalities and powers, but they were also easily carried around and used.

Regardless, now that he was done shopping for talismans, both Nori and Gerald left the Talisman Hall.

Now that they were out, Nori turned to look at Gerald before asking, “So… What do you intend to do next?”

Not seeing the need to hide anything, Gerald then replied, “I’m heading to Sunniva City on earth!”

“Oh? Why?” asked Nori in a curious tone.

“Well, there are still a few Quartermains I haven’t taken out yet… More specifically, I haven’t exterminated those from the second clan of the Quartermains, the Quantocks of Sunniva City!” explained Gerald.

Upon hearing that, Nori understood what Gerald had earlier meant when he said he still had business to attend to. Sure enough, if he didn’t take care of the Quantocks as soon as possible, they would surely cause him future troubles.

“…I see! Well, please be careful, alright? And if you need any help, you can just contact me and I’ll try my best to lend you my aid!” replied Nori.

“I’ll keep that in mind!” said Gerald with a smile before rapidly leaping away…

Staring at his quickly disappearing back, Nori wondered whether he would one day accept her…

Meanwhile, Johnie had finally managed to limp all the way home in his wretched state. With his hair messy and his usual temperament—as the young master of the Lager family—completely gone, Johnie now looked more like a beggar than anything…

Upon noticing Johnie’s return, a man—who honestly looked quite similar to Johnie—found himself surprised as he asked, “Johnie? What happened to you? How did you end up like this?”

“I… I was beaten up by someone, brother…!” replied Johnie as he looked at Jonas Lager with a defeated expression.
