Vicky didn't say whether the people in the altar would have no secrets from the Black Gold Gang.
But there is no need to say much about this kind of thing. It is actually extremely difficult for ordinary people to hide secrets in a religious altar.
In other words, ordinary adventurers don't need to worry that a sect of gods will be interested in their little secrets.
As for Mark, there is even less need to worry. The woman in black robe in the wooden house just now should have checked on him.
However, she only thought of herself as a clergyman of the Holy Light Church and did not see anything special about herself.
In this case, even if the altar of the Star-Moon Church has similar abilities to an appraiser, it is not as strong as Monica's appraisal skills.
Is the identification skill of the Star-Moon Altar a weakened version, or is it because Monica has dual professions, so her identification skills are different from those of ordinary people?
Mark didn't know this, and he wouldn't try to find out Monica's secret.
Although the two have established a cooperative relationship, they still need to maintain a certain distance.
Thinking of his identity as a clergyman in the eyes of the black-robed woman, Mark inevitably had doubts:
"Since this is the altar of the Star-Moon Church, it must be a very important place. You're just treating it like a marketplace for the Black Gold Gang. Aren't you afraid that people from other sects will find out your location and sabotage you?"
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Mark knew that Vicky should understand that he was talking about the Church of Holy Light.
After all, in this Holy Dragon Continent, the Holy Light Church is the number one sect of the human race, and the others such as the Harvest Church, the Church of the God of Craftsmen, the Church of the God of Storms, and the Church of Dawn can only be regarded as second-rate sects.
Apart from some real evil cults, the most likely to wipe out and destroy the altars of other cults is the Holy Light Church, which has a criminal record.
"I should have said before that our Black Gold Gang is just a gang. Even some big figures from the Holy Light Church were once our clients."
Vicky said nonchalantly, "After the Lord Divine Envoy left, the Holy Light Church actually sent people to clean up the Star-Moon Church. The Elders Council then withdrew from the various kingdoms under the Holy Light Church's control, taking the church's assets and important members with them."
"We, the Black Gold Gang, have thus announced our withdrawal from the Star-Moon Church. The Holy Knights have come to this altar to clean it up several times and have never bothered with us since then."
"As you've seen in Osborne, most of the residents are actually believers of the Star-Moon Goddess. The escape of the church's leaders and the compromise of the Black Gold Gang are seen as abandonment and betrayal to them. Furthermore, they're also afraid of being harassed by the Holy Light Church again, so they're keeping their distance from you."
After hearing what Vicky said, Mark finally understood why Aunt Irene was put on the wanted list by the Church of Holy Light, and why the Black Gold Gang here dared to entertain people from the Church of Holy Light so carelessly.
It turns out that they had already been recruited by the Church of Holy Light.
Regardless of what they think in their hearts, as long as a big shot from the Holy Light Church comes here, the top leaders of the Black Gold Gang have to honestly say "Holy Light Above" even if they still believe in the Star-Moon Goddess. Isn't this treating the Star-Moon Goddess as a minotaur?
Thinking about it this way, the Church of Holy Light really knows how to play it. They don't need believers from other churches to believe in the Holy Light.
As long as people say "Holy Light Above" in their own churches, over time, the major gods will seem to be truly subordinate to the Holy Light.
Putting aside the conflicting beliefs of the gods for the moment, Vicky led the two to the edge of a giant bronze pillar and pointed to a counter filled with crystal bottles, introducing them:
"The second category of our Black Gold Gang's business is special magic potions. The potions sold at the Black Gold Gang market are all unconventional potions. The magic potions sold on the regular market have minor side effects but average effectiveness. However, our Black Gold Gang's magic potions are powerful, but the side effects may be slightly greater."
Vicky said as she picked up a bottle of dark green potion, which was engraved with dense snake-scale patterns.
Vicky just shook it lightly, and the green liquid began to bubble up in the bottle. It didn't look like a magic potion, but more like a terrible poison.
"This is a lizard blood potion that allows a Tier 3 professional to briefly burst out five times their strength." Vicky flicked the bottle cap with her fingernail, and green mist instantly rose from the bottle mouth in the shape of a mushroom. "Of course... the effect will cause paralysis for three days after it takes effect."
"This is a recovery potion that can instantly restore all of a person's health." After putting down the lizard blood potion, Vicky picked up a bottle of blood-red potion and said, "But you need to replenish a lot of food within three hours. If you can't replenish food in time, you may starve to death."
There are at least a dozen other medicines of different styles and functions placed on the counter.
Without exception, each of these potions costs more than 10 gold.
But just as Vicky was explaining the potion to Mark, a cloaked man came over and directly bought 100 of the life-restoring potions that Vicky had just introduced.
"Life recovery potion is the best-selling potion here. We sell about 500 bottles every day on average." Vicky put the potion back on the counter and led the two to a high platform.
"This is the Black Gold Gang's third category of business: the weapons and equipment section. Only those who have paid the Black Gold Gang a handling fee of 10,000 gold coins, or those who own Star-Moon Black Gold, are eligible to purchase the items here!"
On the high platform were rows of rusty military heavy crossbows, metal full armor, leather half armor, heavy hammers, and giant axes of various shapes.
There are all kinds of weapons and armor.
Even though these pieces of equipment have some rust or blood stains on them, their appearance and materials alone are more than one level higher than the weapons and armor sold at the stalls in Osborne Town.
"Military-grade Frost Iron Heavy Crossbow, supplied to the armies of all the kingdoms, a model prohibited for sale to the public."
Vicky casually lifted the black cloth behind a heavy crossbow, revealing brand new metal components that gleamed with a cold glow. Frost condensed on the meshing of the gears. "It comes with twelve types of magic crossbow bolts, including a magic-breaking bolt that can penetrate the magic shield of a fourth-tier magician. As long as you can pull the crossbow string, even a child who hasn't changed classes can use it to kill a fourth-tier master!"
Mark's eyes swept across the weapons and armor that glowed with cold light, and suddenly his attention was attracted by a row of dark silver display cabinets in the corner of the platform.
Several rings and bracelets with ancient shapes are displayed on the velvet padding in the display cabinet. The patterns engraved on the surface of these accessories have traces of the flow of magic.
After noticing the focus of Mark's gaze, Vicky stroked the glass surface of the display case and said:
"These are all space props, with some spaces inside being large and some small."
She carefully took out a ring from the display case. The ancient animal head mark on the ring did not seem to be a product of this era.
"What's the price of this space prop?" Mark asked when he couldn't find the price tag on the display case.
"We only have this three-cubic-meter space ring that can be traded with gold coins, and it's priced at two hundred thousand gold coins. The rest of the space props require bartering for various high-level or extraordinary-grade materials and equipment."
Mark, who was originally eager to make a move, immediately backed off.
