"Could it be that the pollution here had too much of its power drained away by that Flower Girl just now?"
Iluna asked, and Shade strongly agreed:
"That is indeed possible. I wonder if you heard about what happened on tuesday. The distortion over there that connected directly to the root of the earth also lost its contaminating properties because an evil god drained away its power."
He took out soil and flower petals, gripped the Earth Runestone, and cast Earth Power - Healing Aura. The place was purified with ease. Since the contamination here had been so minor, the Holy Grail that formed in the end was only the size of an ordinary wineglass. The inscription on its surface read: "Blossoming."
Iluna had seen records of such a Holy Grail in the Church. Flowers grown using this cup would bloom more brilliantly, and the flowers could also possess certain unique effects.
At this point, Shade still had five Holy Grails in his possession: healing, Goldstone, Nurture, memory, and Blossoming.
After purifying the black mud, Iluna followed him inside, and the two inspected the place together. It was a not particularly large secret chamber, a storage room built in some unknown era. Many badly rusted longswords and suits of armor had been placed against the walls. Their corrosion was so severe that they could not even be sold as antiques.
Apart from those rusted cold weapons, there was also a heavy-looking iron chest against the wall on the other side. The chest was not large, but it had been tightly bound with iron chains, while its old-fashioned lock had completely rusted shut.
Shade split the chains with the Moonbeam Greatsword. After he and Iluna struggled to open the chest, they found that it contained reddish-brown metal blocks.
"Gold bricks."
