Mark was silent and handed over the Xingyue black gold that Xingyue had delivered earlier.
The gold coin fell steadily into Xingyue's slender white palm. She didn't look like she was the same age as Aunt Irene at all.
She flicked her finger on the edge of the gold coin.
Buzz——
A deep star curtain instantly projected from above the gold coin and hovered between the two of them.
On the starry screen, some key clips of Mark's mission were clearly reflected.
Including his killing of a black-robed puppet with gold elements.
Some scenes of the three-person team working together to severely damage the Asian dragon man Spin.
…
The proof of mission completion is clearly demonstrated by this special black gold itself.
Looking at the pictures, Mark remained silent.
It wasn't that he was so calm, but he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
The secret that the three members of their team had tried so hard to hide was "recorded" just like that?
What’s the difference between this and standing naked in front of the stars and the moon?
But how could Mark know that there was no need for this Star Moon Black Gold at all, as Xingyue had already watched the live broadcast!
Seeing Mark sitting there expressionlessly, Xingyue nodded slightly, and his mentality was indeed good.
"Don't use that skill so carelessly anymore! The Enlightenment Society thought it was a mutation of the power of shadow, but the Holy Light Church isn't that stupid!"
“???”
"Shut up, I don't know what that skill of yours is, and I don't want to know. But this kind of skill can't be mastered by a mere clergyman without any background!"
Xingyue interrupted Mark's idea of asking questions without any hesitation.
She moved her fingertips again, and the star curtain seemed to be gathered by an invisible force and instantly retracted into the gold coin.
Then, the gold coin turned into a ray of pure starlight and bounced back into Mark's hand.
"The mission was accomplished... so-so."
Xingyue's tone could barely be considered approval, but it sounded more like "it's a pass as long as you don't die outside."
"Although I didn't completely crush the lizard, I at least interrupted their crucial step in completely awakening the stinking bone dragons in the swamp, saving me a lot of trouble."
She seemed too lazy to look at Mark again and raised her hand casually.
A ray of starlight hung down from the beam, condensed in her palm, and turned into a ring.
The ring has an extremely simple shape, and the ring body presents a deep black of the night sky. It is made of neither gold nor wood, but there are faint star-like light spots flowing in it.
The ring face is not inlaid with gems, but a slender crescent moon outlined by pure moon-white light. There seems to be a miniature nebula slowly rotating inside the crescent moon.
"Here, take it."
Xingyue snapped her fingers, and the ring turned into a ray of light and shot towards Mark.
Mark subconsciously reached out to catch it. It felt slightly cool and smooth like jade, yet had the solid feel of metal.
"The space prop I promised you. Don't look at it like that. It's a hundred times better than staring at the junk in the display case before."
"'Starlight Gap', the space inside... can probably fit half a grown dragon. The space is stable, and the flow of time inside is close to stagnant, so the preservation effect is first-rate. I'll save you from starving to death in some corner next time, and then that old thing will have to blame me."
Mark was delighted. Not only was this space much larger than the three-cubic ring he had previously considered, but its time-stopping feature was also what any "chef" had always dreamed of!
He immediately tried to probe his mental power into the ring, and indeed, he sensed a stable space about half the size of a basketball court. There was nothing inside, but it was filled with a tranquil and eternal starry aura.
"Thank you, High Priest!"
Mark suppressed his excitement and thanked him solemnly.
"No need to thank me, just stay away from me."
Xingyue waved her hands impatiently, as if to shoo away flies, "Also, next time you come, don't bring those... beautiful girls around you."
Her eyes swept over Monica and Anna outside the door, and lingered on Monica for a moment, her disdain growing stronger. "You're an eyesore, Vicky!"
"Yes, High Priest." Vicky appeared at the door.
"Take them to the market and send them away quickly."
Xingyue ordered everyone to leave, and with a flick of his black robe, his figure seemed to blend into the shadow of the wooden house, and his aura disappeared in an instant.
Looking at the place where Xingyue disappeared, Mark opened his mouth.
He had wanted to ask her about the Enlightenment Society.
Now, the high priest started talking as soon as they met, without giving him any chance to interrupt and ask questions.
As soon as the reward was given, he left!
Vicky shrugged at Mark and made a gesture of invitation: "Let's go. You have received the care of the high priest. Mr. Mark, do you want to go shopping or go back directly?"
"Vicky, about the Enlightenment Society..." Since Xingyue was gone, Mark had no choice but to ask Vicky.
Although Vicky's strength seemed to be only at the second level, Mark felt that her relationship with the high priest seemed unusual.
Every time she would bring him directly to see Xingyue, and she would know that they were coming early on. She probably knew something about the Qizhi Society.
"Our Black Gold Gang is just an ordinary small town mutual aid organization. We don't know anything about other organizations!"
Vicky blinked and said innocently, "But I heard that the Holy Light Church and the Lily Kingdom Magic Association recently sent a special investigation team to Osborne Town..."
"A small organization like us is not qualified to know the purpose of those large organizations. What are they doing here? It's really hard to guess!"
“…”
If you want to say it directly, Vicky.
Mark complained silently in his heart.
Although Vicky didn't say it explicitly, Mark could tell from her words alone.
The recent actions of the Enlightenment Society have finally attracted the attention of the Church of Holy Light. The special investigation team's entry into Osborne Town means that the Enlightenment Society will be dormant in the near future.
At least their team of three no longer had to worry about being attacked in retaliation by the Enlightenment Society near Osborne Town.
And Vicky may not know the more accurate information about the Enlightenment Society.
Or perhaps she knew, but after Xingyue issued a gag order, she could only reveal this little information to Mark.
Since Vicky gave the three of them a reassurance.
After leaving the cabin, Mark and the other two immediately started shopping.
As the saying goes, it is better to prepare for a rainy day. Even if the threat from the Enlightenment Society is temporarily suppressed by the upcoming special investigation team, they will not have much time to relax in the short term.
Selling the werewolf magic crystals on the black market before was a huge sum of money. Now that he has an ultra-large capacity space ring, his sense of security has greatly increased, and his desire to purchase has naturally reached an unprecedented high.
The cash carried on them could be traded directly with the adventurer stall owners on the black market, while the huge sum of money in the Black Gold Gang would naturally be used to purchase the Black Gold Gang's specialty products.
Mark had a clear goal and went straight to the pharmacy area first.
Buy a large amount of the two powerful but side-effect-prone life-restoring potions (Starving Ghost) and mana-restoring potions (Deep Water Magic Spring) that Vicky introduced before.
