The Greatest Sinner

Chapter 236 - Invitation

"Good." Nodded Svein and said, "Even at Diamond Eye, transactions of such a huge amount are infrequent. It was a pleasure doing business with you."

Svein went to the table, opened the box, and took the spatial ring. It contained only platinum coins in huge quantities. The appraiser walked over to Evan, put his ring to the young man's ring, and transferred the correct amount.

"See you later." Calmly Evan said and left Diamond Eye.

Just now, he earned 500,000 platinum coins or 50 million gold coins, but he kept the most valuable items. Rare and quality medicines and potions Evan did not sell, nor did some items like bombs and unusual materials, of which there were only a few pieces. Evan was sure that he would have made twice as much if he had sold those as well, and Evan only had half of it.

.

<There was an enormous amount of stuff in the Paper Hortense vault, but all the most valuable stuff is probably at their head. However, you could buy several villages in their entirety, or even towns, with that money. Even in Vextin I can afford anything.> Evan thought to himself on his way back home.

He wanted to finally learn the 'Death Feathers Fan' and raise the 'Awareness' of his spells to the next stage.

<By the way, we need to find out what progress Malespera has made with her spells. When she reaches stage two with "Awareness" in her three spells, it shouldn't be a problem to determine her class. Maybe with her help, I can figure it out, too.>

After a while, Evan returned to his manor. He wanted to go to the training ground, but suddenly Sebastian ran up to him.

"Sir!"

"What is it?"

"You have a letter from Viscount Pol Hartman," Sebastian replied.

"A letter from Viscount Pol? What does he want?"

Unlike Mossy Vulture and Inlas, where there were no nobles in Vextin, the situation was different. Evan wasn't interested in the subject, but he knew several Viscounts and Barons in Vextin. They partly ruled the city, they had most of the trade in the city in their power. Each of them was a mage, for the King of Vexacion despised commoners and would never allow them a title of nobility.

No one in Inlas had a title of nobility for obvious reasons, but the situation in Mossy Vulture was different. Draven, Fane, and Marcel were influential and powerful enough to get the title of Marquis or even Duke, but they were not interested in it. Draven and Fane were only interested in promoting their family, while Marcel always pursued his personal goals.

"Sir, he invites you to a banquet a week from now," Sebastian replied.

<Hmm, I haven't been at Vextin that long, but Viscount Pol has already learned about me. No surprise, though, I bought one of the most expensive mansions in all of Vextin. I should go to that banquet.>

"Sebastian, am I the only one invited, or can I bring someone else?"

"You can bring one more person with you." Butler quickly replied.

"Good, let Malespera know and get her ready." Calmly Evan said and went to the training area.

...

"Not long ago my confidence, level with Reykar increased significantly, and I gained a new skill and improved the old one. I had already seen the enhanced 'One-Eyed Raven Beam' in action, but I had not yet learned the new skill. It's time to correct that oversight." Evan muttered, and his mind drifted to the Library.

He stared at the purple Magic Circle, a spell called the 'Death Feathers Fan.' Evan didn't know what to expect from this spell, but he was anxious to get started. Last time he couldn't figure out how the 'One-Eyed Raven Beam' worked until he accidentally created Foundation.

Evan concentrated and tried to understand this spell. Since it was originally a monster skill, this magic circle was not like the others. So it would take Evan quite a while to figure it all out.

"The Death Feather Fan" was a first-level spell, so it had quite a few stages of mana conversion.

About half a day later, Evan began his first attempts. All the while, he was figuring out the spell and deciding how he should proceed to make it work.

"Well, let's get started." Mumbled Evan, and the next moment his Warp spun.

First, he decided to try to cast the spell without using Foundation. He was curious to see if he could do it.

Gradually the mana was converting into purple energy. Evan was doing everything right, without a single mistake, but the whole structure collapsed at one point. Evan tried a few more times, then concluded that he couldn't do it without Foundation.

Whooosh.

Evan rolled Foundation, and a magic circle appeared in front of him. Then he slowly began to transform the mana into the desired form. Evan didn't encounter any obstacles. Everything went smoothly and measuredly.

"Great, now I can do it." Mumbled Evan and moved on to the final phase.

The purple energy turned into an enormous fan of many feathers. It wasn't material. It was just a form of energy.

"Alright, now it's time to test it." Since the fan wasn't material, Evan couldn't take it in his hands and wave it, but he didn't need to. Evan could make the fan move with his mind.

When Evan wished, the fan moved. It jerked sharply to one side, and in the next moment, several feathers flew out of it. The feathers headed toward the dummies and easily destroyed them. The feathers did not pierce the target through but exploded on contact.

"Not bad, if I make several of these attacks in a row, I can quickly kill a monster of the first rank. It will be torn apart. But, this spell requires quite a lot of mana. Each swing of the fan is comparable to using a single spell, but so is the power." Said Evan and swung the fan again.

Several purple feathers of energy flew toward the mannequins, and a second later, there was a deafening explosion.

<By the way, the ability Reykar got after the second evolution is different from this spell. Feathers fly out of his wings, Reykar doesn't create any fans. This means that the spell adjusts to me to make it more comfortable for me to use. "The Death Feathers Fan and the One-Eyed Raven Beam are both Creation Magic spells. I wonder if it's a coincidence or if the following spells will be the same.>

Evan thought and continued practicing. He wanted to master this spell better. In Evan's opinion, the Death Feathers Fan had less destructive power than the Ball Lightning, but he could hit many enemies at once with this spell. The Death Feathers Fan would be better than the Ball Lightning if several monsters attacked him at once, even though it was slightly weaker.

For the next few days, Evan continued to practice using his spells. He felt that very soon, he would reach the first stage of Awareness in many of them. Then new possibilities would open up for him. The more skilled the mage was in using his spells, the stronger he was.

...

On the seventh day, Evan and Malespera prepared to go to the banquet. On Evan's orders, Sebastian prepared everything, Malespera looked like a real noblewoman.
