"In fact, as long as we work hard on gathering and hunting tasks, two months is enough for us to save up four thousand gold coins."

There is nothing wrong with what Ilsa said, but there is a prerequisite, that is, there is no expenditure, only income.

But obviously, this is impossible.

With Lisha and Merilu around, their adventure team would have to spend a lot of money on food alone.

"Ilsa, how's it going in the Dark Cave?"

Lisha suddenly stared at Ilsa with shining eyes, and it was obvious that she had thought of some subtle idea.

"You want to go back and look for that dark iron?"

Ilsa knew what Lisha was thinking without even looking.

"No, I still have a vague impression that the Dark Iron is gone."

Lisha waved her hands repeatedly.

"I'm thinking there might be some other precious treasures in that secret room?"

"I don't know that either."

Ilsa did not deny this, because in her opinion, maybe there really was some treasure in there. After all, it was a secret room related to the gods, and truly rare treasures would inevitably be damaged by such heat.

"But if you want to go there, it's impossible, because on the day we came back, the Adventurer's Guild sent people to seal the entrance, and also sent a team of gold-level adventurers to investigate. It seems that the church also intervened later. In short, the situation is quite chaotic. Anyway, ordinary adventurers like us can't enter."

"Tsk, I knew it."

Lisha was not surprised. The commotion they caused at that time was quite big. Although they were underground, the breath of the gods should have spread. Moreover, according to what Youze said in the spiritual realm before, they were sent back by the God of Monsoon and Alternation. The Adventurer's Guild and the Eight Major Churches would definitely send people to check it out.

"It seems like there's no hope for the Dark Cave."

"So the team is very short of money now?"

Merilulu asked Ilsa in a low voice.

"To be honest, if we hadn't found accommodation, we would have been without funds to buy weapons and equipment for a long time."

Ilsa said that was true.

"Actually, I have some metals that I can sell."

Meililu said as she took out a fist-sized piece of metal from her space equipment and placed it on the table.

“Is this water steel?”

It took Ilsa a moment to see what metal it was.

Water steel is a very special metal. Although its name contains the word "steel", it is one of the few metals that is extremely soft. It is said that adding some water steel to the forged equipment can greatly enhance the toughness of the equipment.

"Water steel?"

Lisha had never seen this kind of metal before.

"This size is worth about 18,000 to 20,000 gold coins. If the other party needs it, it can be sold for more than 25,000."

Ilsa told the actual price of the water steel.

“What a high price!”

Lisha’s eyes sparkled.

“Lisha!”

Ilsa glared at Lisha.

"Ilsa, the team needs funds now, right? Then as a member of the team, it makes sense for me to provide funds for the team, right?"

Meililu said with a gentle smile on her face.

She really wanted to do something for everyone.

Especially since she had held back Lisha and Ilsa because of her poor fighting skills, Merilu felt very guilty.

"Well, I also..."

Ai Lan said as he reached for his only equipment, a space backpack.

"That's enough."

Ilsa sighed and stopped Alan from moving.

"If we sell this, it will be enough to buy us a nice set of equipment, and we can also buy some spare potions."

Chapter 48: The slightest disturbance

Ilsa finally accepted Merilulu's kindness.

After all, their team of four did lack funds.

So finally, with Ilsa's consent and Lisha's approval, everyone decided to sell the water steel and then give everyone new equipment, especially Ilsa and Alan. Without their bows and staffs, their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

Just when Lisha and the other three were discussing what to buy, two important guests arrived at the Dark Cave.

At the blocked entrance to the dark cave, the four silver-rank adventurers guarding the entrance looked at the brown-haired woman in front of them with awe, who seemed to be waiting for someone.

This pretty woman, who looked to be about 22 or 23 years old, was dressed in the attire of a nun from the Church of the God of Life and Healing, and her face was filled with tenderness and kindness.

She closed her eyes and kept muttering something, as if she was praying to God.

About a quarter of an hour later, the person she was waiting for arrived.

The visitor was a cheerful girl full of youthfulness. She had green shoulder-length hair, but the ends of her hair turned dark green. The girl's clothes showed that she was a pastor of the Church of the God of Monsoon and Alternation.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

The cheerful girl showed a hint of apology.

"I am Penos, a priest of the Church of the Wind."

"It's not too long."

The pretty woman did not open her eyes, but turned and walked towards the entrance.

"I'm Aini, a nun from the Church of the Earth. I've been ordered to come here to investigate the miracle with you."

The nun who called herself Annie had no intention of keeping the secret and told the whole story openly.

The four silver-rank adventurers guarding the entrance all looked as if they didn't hear anything.

"Let's go."

Penos looked at Annie's face with some curiosity, and quickly followed Annie's pace.

The four silver-level adventurers guarding the entrance showed no intention of asking any questions during this period.

Because these adventurers who belong to the Adventurer's Guild know very well that there are some things that you should not know. There is no benefit in knowing too much, and sometimes ignorance is a kind of protection.

In the dark tunnel, Penos and Aini walked side by side.

Although Penos didn't say anything along the way, he looked at Annie from time to time.

Finally, Annie seemed to notice what Penos was doing.

"Is there something on my face?"

"no!"

Penos shook his head vigorously.

"Feel weird?"

Annie touched the corner of her eyes.

"I'm not curious."

Although Penos said this, the curiosity in her eyes could not be suppressed at all.

She had stayed in the Church of Wind for too long and was very curious about everything outside.

"It's okay to be curious."

Aini's tone was extremely gentle.

"I closed my eyes only because I didn't want to see death."

"Hey?"

Penos found it difficult to understand what Annie said.

"I can see it. Death."

Annie said as she opened her eyes slightly.

Being stared at by Aini, Penos felt as if the scythe of the god of death was on his neck.

"Woo..."

"You are fine. Death is still far away from you, child loved by the wind."

After saying this, Annie closed her eyes again.

"A little bit, I understand a little bit."

Penos subconsciously touched his neck.

Just by being looked at, one can feel death approaching.

Penos felt that no one would want to feel that way.

"I've heard of you, Penos. You're the youngest genius in the Church of the Wind. At the age of eighteen, you're at the peak of the Silver Rank and you could advance to Gold at any time."

Annie is very familiar with the famous geniuses in the eight major churches.

"It's just my god's preference."

Penos did not feel proud because she knew that all her power came from God.

"That's because you have the capital to make Him favor you."

Aini disagrees.

It is normal for God to have preferences.

After all, the gods of the eight major churches were originally just mortals, so it’s natural for them to have emotions.

And where there is emotion there is bias.

There are always people favored by God in the church, and even some who are not believers.

"Ah."

Penos glanced at Annie secretly, and when he found that she had no intention of continuing speaking, he did not speak again.

The speed of the two was much faster than Lisha and the others. After all, one was at the peak of the silver rank and the other was at the peak of the gold rank.

It took only half a day for Annie and Penos to arrive at the secret room.

"Light and heat, the sun, the power of the stars."

Annie's expression became a little more serious.

She came to the right place.

This is indeed not an ordinary relic of the old gods.

“My god once descended here in an incarnation.”

Even though a week had passed, Penos could still feel a vibrant breath of wind flowing through the secret room.

The two entered the secret room together.

Most of the things inside have melted and solidified, completely unrecognizable.

Only the ancient altar remains intact.

"I see."

Penos understood why the bishop asked her to come.

“It’s that person indeed.”

Annie also confirmed something after seeing the altar. The gentleness and kindness on her face disappeared a little, and were replaced by excitement and joy from the bottom of her heart.

"It seems that Sister Annie, you really do know."
