The man tried to add some spice in case there was any doubt about how much of a bargain this property was, but it wasn't working all it did was produce disgust in everyone's faces at this clear ripoff, the town was trying to get rid of a property that wasn't providing any profit, and they were making money in the process.
Constantine rolled his eyes in annoyance but he was okay with such an arrangement, 'I will experiment to the limits here.'
He had plans and things he wanted to research with his magic and arrays and this was the perfect place to do so, moreover, the area for training was immense, it fit the criteria to the tee.
"Yeah yeah sure, take your money and get away from here." He took out some of the money but it was then that Zamira held his wrist, making him frown.
"B-But master, it is a ripoff! you can find better properties, smaller... but cheaper inside the town" She didn't want him to spend so much money on this property that had to be worked.
"But I won't be allowed to do what I please with those properties, don't worry, Zamira, I know what I am doing~" He said those words and she could only sigh in acceptance.
"Moreover the mansion is already done and I like how it looks... we're going to be living here, do you like it, Raki?" Constantine patted the girl's shoulders and she made a troubled expression, all she could do was believe in his vision because in front of her this place looked like the most dangerous building she has gone to.
"Wherever master goes, I go..." Raki said with determination, but her slender body was shivering... as far as she's concerned as long as he trained her, she didn't mind sleeping under a bridge.
"So no longer sir. Instead, master..."
Raki smirked and threw Zamira a challenging look, 'I'm going to be the strongest, master will be proud of me!'
'We will see about that, brat.'

After finalising the purchase they were two thousand coins short, Zamira gave a thousand of her coins and Andre gave a thousand of his, they refused to see him pay.
"Very well, all of the refurbishment will be done by ourselves but we need to do some cleanup first, let's take these 'ghosts' out~"
...
"W-Who dares to face the wrath of the almigh-!"
*BAANG!*
"Get the fuck out of my property, I told you I would come back for you, bitch! did you think I was joking!?"
"Y-You! my god will-"
"Tell your god to go suck his momma! this property now belongs to me and my Goddess, clear out!"
*BANGG!!*
"AHHHH!!"
It would take them several minutes to clear all the rooms one by one, a total of thirteen individuals sleeping in a place that didn't belong to them, all thrown into the forest, they'd sleep better with the scarred cult.
...
"M-Master, I don't think the goddess will be content if we behave this way..." Zamira said with worry while they rested on their new soil, compared to her the rest of the group was amused, especially Andre who got to kick some ass.
"What are you talking about, my little goddess likes spoiling me, she won't mind." Constantine said matter-of-factly,
'I might even pray to her tonight to get some more spoiling~'
[If you go on like this she will be recognised as the goddess of hooligans instead, as her champion, your actions reverberate heavily in her reputation and the faith she garners, not that I care, from the Goddess of Life to the Goddess of Hooligans, that would be quite hilarious to see~]
'It would be hilarious indeed, that's why I'll keep doing it~' Little did he know that he'd be putting his goddess in a pinch, not that she cared.

After taking the trash out of the property, they found themselves in front of a dirty big mansion, the shade of what had been a noble structure before.
"We need water, a lot of water... but we can't do that now, I want to head into this expedition to the Lindom Forest as soon as possible, I need to meet this alchemist..."
"If you allow me to ask boss, why are you so interested?"
"Alchemist products are sold expensively in the empire, right?" He theorised but recalled the pricing in the guild and indeed, his theory was on point.
"That's correct... alchemist potions, lumens extracted from magus, catalysts, they're all quite expensive in their own right, but no doubt the most expensive resources are potions and pills created by alchemists to enhance a magus' prowess, do you intend to incur in this business, master?" Zamira asked with intrigue, thinking that if that was the case, what would she do?
"Yes, the money we have is a good headstart, but it is not enough, I also expect you two to create sources of income, we will need a lot of money to grow this little 'cult'... My Goddess can defeat Rotborn, but we need to increase our numbers."
'But before increasing those numbers, I must become strong enough to protect those numbers.' he scratched his head, so much to do and so little time.
"I was thinking of a farm, they're scarce around and most of the food is brought by the nearby towns by the merchants, creating a farm would be worthwhile." Andre gave his idea.
It was then that all of them looked at Zamira as if expecting her to give an option but all she could do was look away in shame, economy wasn't her forte.
"Resources and particular flowers for alchemists can be grown in the special lawn as well, I read it once in a library, but magic is needed." Raki said all of the sudden and sent a gaze in Constantine's way.
Meanwhile, Malik was thinking, in this kind of expanse territory, what kind of business could be done, his idea would end up being the core of the cult's main activities.
Effectively, the Cult of the Goddess of Life would be partaking in underworld activities, black markets, auctions and extortion; everything for the sake of the Goddess.
