The hero I support will definitely defeat the devil

Lisha looked clueless.

"Well, it seems that I really didn't say it."

Angela couldn't help but pause when she said this.

“Lisha, the awakening ceremony is only the last step in the promotion to the gold rank. It is the result. But the promotion to the gold rank is not only about the result, but also the cause and process.”

"If you want to advance to the Gold Rank, you must first reach the peak of the Silver Rank. This is the most basic point. Secondly, your body and will must be polished to be strong enough. Although warriors and mages have different focuses, the other must at least be good."

"Then you must be able to master your professional abilities and have at least three abilities that have reached the master level. Among them, you must have your own breathing or meditation method, as well as the main martial arts that match your profession. Finally, you must explore your own path and awaken your own gold."

Angela explained all the things to pay attention to when advancing to the gold level in one breath.

“There are so many things.”

Lisha seemed to understand something after hearing this.

"But it seems that all I have left is to find my own path."

Lisha calculated in her mind after hearing this.

She has reached the peak of the Silver Rank. Her body and will are strong enough. She can't say that she has mastered her professional abilities, but she has mastered them all. At least she can use them without any problems and won't make mistakes. She has also achieved the three master-level abilities: Furnace Breathing, Hundred Martial Arts (Boxing), and Swordsmanship are all master-level.

The only thing missing is the golden level path.

Chapter 252 Don't Want to Give Up

"what?!"

Angela was shocked by Lisha's words.

“Lisha, is this true?”

Merilu was also surprised by Lisha's words.

After all, Lisha will only be seventeen in a few months, but she has already begun to touch the threshold of the gold level. This is really incredible.

Although it was impressive that Lisha had reached the peak of the Silver Rank at the age of sixteen, this kind of strength was only that of a genius. Although rare, it did exist. Similar geniuses would always appear in all major forces every few years.

In history, there were even super geniuses who reached the silver level at the age of ten.

But the Golden Level is completely different.

Especially since Lixia herself had been practicing for a very short time, and her strength had increased rapidly. From the time she first arrived at the official level in Baishi Town to now reaching the threshold of the gold level, less than a year had passed. This speed of improvement was simply terrifying.

"If what Angela said is correct, all I have left is to explore the Golden Road."

Lisha could feel that she had touched upon something, but it was not enough, far from enough, she still needed to accumulate more.

"So strong! I can't fall behind!"

Angela, who had already reached the peak of the silver level and had been stuck at the peak for several years, encouraged herself.

There was no reason for her to lose to Lisha, as she had been honing her skills for several years.

"We have to work hard, otherwise we may not be able to catch up with Lisha."

Meililu sighed.

"Yeah yeah."

Ailan nodded in agreement.

Only Ilsa remained silent.

Because she is well aware of the gap between herself and other team members.

For Lisha, the Golden Stage was just a threshold that she was destined to cross. For Merilu, Alan, and Angela, it was a small obstacle. For Freya, it was a test that she had already crossed.

But to her, the Golden Steps is a mountain, a mountain that she may not be able to climb.

If I had special powers...

Ilsa stared silently at the bow in her hand.

......

Awu walked out of the hall of the Adventurer's Guild.

She held the not-so-much reward in her hand and felt a little sad.

As a Red Iron-rank adventurer, there are actually not many tasks that Awu can do, especially relatively safe tasks.

Adventurers can only gain more money and honor when taking risks.

Adventurers like Awu, who spends almost every day in the Clan Forest and only occasionally goes to the first floor of the White Tower, basically cannot make much money.

It's barely enough to make ends meet, but if something happens that requires money, it will be stretched to the limit.

What's more, what Awu needs is not just gold coins, but more precious potions.

After going to the store and buying some daily necessities, Awu returned to the shabby hotel on the edge of Baishi Town with the things.

Although the environment here is not good, it is still relatively safe, because the owner of the hotel has known Awu for ten years, so the room he reserved for her is also a good one. At least it doesn't leak, and the fireplace is still intact.

"Kate, I'm home."

Awu pushed open the shabby door with his things in his hand, and saw his adoptive father leaning on the bed, drinking water slowly.

"came back..."

The man whom Awu called Kate was not a human, but an orc, and a little cat-man at that.

However, this little cat man is not as cute as rumored. Instead, he has a fierce temperament, especially the long scar on his face, which adds a touch of ferocity to him.

The little cat-man looked very old, like an old man who was about to die.

But in fact he was only thirty-six years old.

This age should be the prime of life for most people, but for the Little Cat People, thirty-six is already old, and it is an age at which one may die at any time.

After all, the average lifespan of a kitten-man is only about thirty-five years.

"I bought some of your favorite food today."

Awu said as he put the things in his hand on the table.

"You're wasting your money again."

Kate said half accusingly.

"I like."

Awu said this and started cooking using the fireplace in the room.

"Awu, you should think more about yourself and don't waste these things on someone like me who is dying."

Kate looked at the human daughter she picked up with relief in her eyes.

"You'll be fine."

Awu said without turning his head.

"I'm not sick."

Kate shook her head slowly.

He wasn't seriously ill, he was just dying of old age.

He used to be a steel-class professional, but now he can't even lift his own weapon. It is still unclear whether he has the remaining strength to reach the red iron level.

"You're going to be fine."

Awu said stubbornly.

"You kid...ah..."

Kate didn't have the energy to stop her.

I can only let her go.

In this way, Awu cooked while chatting with Kate about what she encountered during her previous mission.

Even if it was a boring little thing, Awu would explain it in great detail, as if he was afraid that Kate wouldn't understand.

Kate just listened to Awu's story patiently, and hummed from time to time.

When the meal was ready, Awu gave the smaller portion with more dishes to Kate, and he himself only ate the larger portion with a single type of dish. Although the taste was simple, it was large in quantity and filling.

Kate is indeed old, and even eating takes her a long time.

Because he had lost a lot of teeth, he couldn't eat anything too hard, or even chew for too long, so the meals Awu prepared for him were all soup and porridge.

Awu watched Kate finish her meal patiently before taking the plate away and wiping Kate's mouth.

After tidying up the room briefly, Awu prepared to leave.

"I will find a way to save you."

Awu left this sentence and continued to complete the task.

Now the living expenses for both Awu and Kate have to be earned by Awu.

This is a big challenge for Awu, who is only at the Red Iron level.

Come to the Adventurer's Guild, accept the mission, and head to the Clan Forest.

Awu has been repeating this process for two years.

She did not join the adventuring team because no adventuring team could accept the possibility that she might run back to take care of Kate at any time.

She almost only did missions in the Clan Forest because she needed the missions to be safe enough. She didn't dare to take risks, as taking risks could very likely result in death. If she died, it would mean Kate would also die.

The only two times I went to the first floor of the White Tower was because I had no money left and had to take the risk.

It was hard and tiring, but Awu had no regrets.

Her wish was simple, she just didn't want her adoptive father to die like this.

Even though Kate's life span is considered normal among kittens.

Awu saw no hope, all she could do was to persevere.

And hoping for a miracle to happen.

Chapter 253: Remaining Breath

Another hard day.

Awu dragged his tired body towards the hotel.

Although it was hard work and tiring, there was a smile on Awu's face today.

She was lucky this time. When she completed the task, she also found two good herbs and sold them for a good price.

Awu had many wounds on her body, but she just treated them by lightly bandaging them with boiled and dried bandages.

Awu seldom drinks healing potions. Even the cheapest kind is very expensive for her. If she wasn't afraid of encountering any accidents, she wouldn't even want to prepare a reserve of healing potions for herself.

She basically doesn't use the medicated bandages sold by the Adventurer's Guild. Even if the effect is five times better than the disinfectant bandages she makes herself, she won't use them because she thinks the price is too expensive.

Many ordinary people think that they can make a lot of money just by becoming an official adventurer.

This is not true or true at all.

The rewards earned by adventurers are of course an exaggerated number for ordinary people. For example, even if it is a Hematite-level adventurer, the money he earns from completing an ordinary mission is enough for an ordinary family of three to spend for several weeks or even a month.

But these people overlooked one thing, that is, in the Baita area, consumption is also extremely exaggerated.

Outside the White Tower area, many ordinary people in the kingdoms and principalities have never seen a gold coin in their entire lives, because they only use copper and silver coins for their daily expenses, and even silver coins are rarely used.

But in the White Tower area, gold coins are the mainstream transaction currency, and even more transactions rely on magic crystal cards, because those high-level potions and expensive equipment are priced at five or six figures. If you use gold coins to trade, I'm afraid it will pile up into a mountain, and even if you have a space waist bag, it will be very troublesome to carry.

When Awu arrived at the White Tower area, his first impression was that everything here was so expensive.

Now that I need to buy healing potions regularly, I feel that things in the White Tower area are terribly expensive.

When returning to the hotel, Awu opened the door and saw Kate, who looked listless and taking a nap on the bed.

Awu did not disturb Kate. She gently put down what she was holding and left quietly.

After Awu left, Kate's calls stopped.

He opened one eye, glanced at the healing potion on the table, and sighed in his heart.
