As soon as the day dawned, Carey woke up from his sleep, and today he was planning to take advantage of his free morning to go to the villages outside the city to buy goods.

Last night he went out of his way to inspect the cellar in the basement and found that there was not much alcohol left, and it was only enough to stay open for two days as far as he could remember.

Of course, he also accidentally found several boxes of gratifying wealth in the basement, with a lot of source stones and gold coins.

The spring rain that had been falling all night still did not stop this morning, and looking at the muddy road outside that was wet by the rain, I really had no desire to go out.

When Dinah and Belle came downstairs, Carey came out with two bowls of porridge and a side dish.

"Is there anything I need to buy for you?" asked Carey as he ate.

Dinah nodded, "Can you get the Source Stone?" you know...... I consumed one piece before, and Source Stones are very useful items for alchemists, along with the map, of course. ”

"I have a way to do this, tell me when you leave, and I'll be ready. Carey had some doubts in his heart, but he nodded in agreement.

Source stone veins are not scarce in this world, for example, a small vein has been found in Eternal Light City, but it usually circulates among lords.

Mining is usually done in exchange with the church or kingdom, and only a small part is left to drive away the lost.

At least in his studies at the monastery, he only knew that the source stone was an important mineral vein that could drive away the lost, but what other effects it had, he really never thought about it.

"By the way, if you go out, remember to bring a hood. Although there is no problem on the lord's side, the people in the city are very mixed, and because of the proximity to the barren forest, there will be some bounty hunters appearing, so you have to be careful yourself. Carey solemnly explained again.

"Hmm...... I don't want to be watched like a monkey. Dinah said helplessly.

Carey nodded, took out a few gold coins with the Emblem of Radiance and handed them to Dinah, "These are for you to buy, and when you leave, I'll bring you some more for the road." ”

Dinah took the gold coin and nodded, wanting to say that in fact, she would not enter the human city on the way, and she did not need the gold coin, but after seeing Carey's eyes, she stopped talking.

Seeing that the two were almost talking, Belle interjected, "Sister, are you leaving?"

"Hmm...... You also know that it's not convenient for me to live here. ”

"My sister is obviously so good, and I finally got acquainted with my sister!" Belle said with some reluctance.

Dinah gently hugged Belle: "Remember the method that my sister taught you, practice hard, and there will be opportunities in the future." ”

Carey eventually put on a rainproof jacket and walked outside for business reasons.

......

Seeing Carey walking away, Dinah glanced at the drizzle that didn't know when it would stop, stretched, and said to Belle, "I'll go back to my room and get something ready." ”

Belle nodded in response: "Well, okay, sister, I'll just watch it alone." ”

Yesterday she had cleaned the first floor, and now it was quite early and there were no guests, so she decided to clean the cellar in the basement in the morning.

Dinah bowed slightly, she needed to prepare something more to deal with the survival in the wild and the tireless lost in the night.

Not every city, lord, welcomes outsiders.

Fleeing from Kars, he was in too much of a hurry to pack his bags.

If it weren't for her friends who came to her rescue despite the danger, she would probably still be in the dark dungeon.

Thinking of this, Dinah couldn't help but sigh softly, and an uneasy illusion inexplicably rose in her heart.

Belle saw that Kyrie and Dinah were busy with their own things, and she silently cheered herself up in her heart: Work hard, don't be a rice worm!

Her previous wanderings had made her aware of how lucky she was to be taken in by Carey.

A loaf of bread outside, a bunk where you can sleep soundly, can make the hungry do all sorts of things.

If you are not in the town, you will not dare to sleep too hard when night falls, for fear that you will not see the light of the next day.

Took the key, lit the candle, and opened the somewhat old wooden door.

Belle pushed it open with a creak characteristic of the wooden door, she had never entered the basement before, not even when she had come to steal food in the dark a long time ago.

Seeing that the basement in front of her was so dark that she couldn't see anything inside, Belle was inexplicably scared for a while.

In her mind, she unconsciously recalled the horror stories that others told her when she was a child, such as living corpses hidden in the dark, basement horrors or something.

Together, she felt her calves tremble a little, and then she took two deep breaths, and looked up at Dinah, who had already entered the room, and calmed down a little.

Visibly emaciated, she struggled to lift the lit candle, and as the light of the candle danced, the basement was no longer completely dark.

Contrary to Belle's expected crampness, the basement was noticeably spacious, and by the faint light of the candles, she noticed that there seemed to be an iron door in the distance that led somewhere.

Suppressing her curiosity, she used her candles to light several candlestick candles embedded in the wall, and suddenly the warm orange light lit up the entire basement.

It was only then that she found it very empty, and there was nothing except a few chests, wooden shelves, and some barrels, and she was not only amused by her timidity before.

After Belle had thoroughly cleaned the basement, she was curious about the wooden boxes on the ground, and the boxes themselves were not locked, so Belle looked at the basement door and secretly told herself to take a look.

When she opened the wooden box, the contents made her gasp, and the faint blue light was combined with the heart-warming golden light.

She didn't know what the hedron-like thing that glowed blue was, but she knew what was put with it.

Belle had never seen so many gold coins engraved with Holy Radiance, and these precious gold coins were piled up in more than half a box like useless things at this time.

In addition, she found that she didn't have much greed to see so many gold coins at the moment, and those sparkling blue hedron became the most beautiful thing in her eyes, constantly attracting her.

"I'll just take one and see, Brother Kyrigo probably won't say anything. Belle muttered to herself, hesitated for a moment, and then chose a thumb-sized hedron to observe.

The moment she touched it, she only felt that the blood in her whole body began to flow wildly, and the ability that she had already used very skillfully seemed to no longer obey her command, and the mysterious runes emitting silver light on her hands came out of her body.

Belle only felt as if her hands were piercing her with thousands of needles, making her almost faint in pain.

"Ahh

......

Dinah, who wanted to make some alchemy items in the room, suddenly felt a fluctuation of source stone energy coming from downstairs, and instantly got up and grabbed the dagger inlaid with many gems and rushed out of the door.

She jumped straight down from the second floor, looked left and right to find it empty, and carefully guarded to find the open wooden door in the basement.

When Dinah saw Belle flickering silver runes in her hands, holding a source stone in place, she already understood what was going on.

As soon as Belle saw Dinah who was slowly walking into the basement on guard, it was like a traveler in the desert seeing an oasis, with tears on her face, with tears on her face, with a crying voice: "Sister......"

At this time, she is like a child who has done something wrong, trying to suppress the pain from her body, and wants to explain.

Dinah frowned and took the source stone from Belle's hand, and the silver-white rune in Belle's hand was instantly restrained, as if nothing had happened.

But for Belle, the pain was like a nightmare.

He sat down on the ground with a loss of strength, and sweat the size of a bean continued to appear on his forehead.

"It's nothing, your body is too thin to cause pain. Dinah pinched the source stone and was slightly surprised, glanced at the gold coins and the number of source stones in the wooden box, and silently put the source stone in her hand into her pocket.

But I couldn't help but be a little curious: how could an ordinary tavern owner have so many gold coins and source stones, or should I just intercept these things?

In the face of wealth, Dinah finally hesitated for a long time and chose to ask for clarity first.
