"Lord Rose, are we setting off today?"
It is the third day now, and Hilia is ready to embark on an adventure in the forbidden area beneath the Star Spirit Tree.
The day before yesterday, Vanessa had repeatedly refused, but Hilia managed to persuade her, finally getting Vanessa to accept 100 gold coins.
Vanessa said she would use part of the gold coins to repair the Divine Hall and leave the rest with Hilia, in case she ever goes bankrupt and needs them.
Over the following days, Hilia wanted to help with some tasks, but Vanessa kept stopping her.
She could only go back to her room to pack her things, taking out blank scrolls and preparing some as spares.
On the second day, Hilia's excitement from returning gradually faded; the Divine Hall, unchanged for decades, became increasingly boring besides helping welcome believers who came to pray in the morning.
