Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

"you……"

……

Meanwhile, on Celia's side, Punil saw Celia take out the Puppet Heart without any apparent reason, and his eyes were full of envy and eagerness.

He considered himself a fourth-tier mage, stronger than a puppeteer, and believed he could withstand the attack.

Celia saw through his thoughts and smiled, "The impact of the Puppet Heart has nothing to do with strength, only with the strength of the soul. If Lord City Lord has ever increased his soul strength, then he can also touch it. Has Lord City Lord ever increased his soul strength?"

Punil shook his head.

The soul is something that modern mages have little to do with. Almost no monsters or mages can directly attack the soul; at most, they can only attack the mental space.

Punil watched with reluctance as Celia put away the Puppet Heart, sighing inwardly, thinking, "She is a Holy Maiden of the Holy Court, so consider it a donation to the Holy Court. I can only try to see if I can get some benefits from the Holy Court."

One step closer to the noon update!

Chapter 208 I haven't eaten yet!

"Has he come back yet?"

Elena paced back and forth in the room, looking very uneasy.

She had a feeling that if she waited for Celia to go down here, something she didn't want to see might happen.

However, she dared not move. The puppet was like a sword; if she dared to move even slightly, the sword would strike and help her lie back down on the bed.

The girl gradually became anxious.

Just then, the door creaked open.

Celia walked in from outside.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Miss Elena."

Celia walked in from outside.

She learned from Ross that the elven girl had awakened, and after speaking with him, she learned about her...

They don't seem to be of elven royalty?

Celia looked at her strangely as she saw Elena wandering around the room in her blue pajamas, her collarbone and the surrounding area a stark white, which Ross had seen all of.

She couldn't help but look at her puppet, unsure if Ross was still on it.

The girl was somewhat speechless. She looked at Elena and said, "Miss Elena, please get dressed first, and then I will treat you."

Elena asked in confusion, "Isn't it best to remove clothing during treatment? I've read in some books that the protagonist needs to take off his top when treating female patients..."

"Stop it. If you want to expose yourself, I don't mind," Celia said irritably. "I forgot to tell you, my puppet has been blessed by a god, and occasionally a god descends upon it. That god is male."

Elena: "...?"

Celia said calmly, "I've already asked the boss to send over the food. He should be here soon. Are you sure you want to show him this way?"

"I'll put it on right away!"

Elena quickly put on another outfit.

This luxurious dress still features the aquamarine gemstone that represents the elven royal family.

Celia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

All I need is gemstones.

When she came over, she told Lord Punil not to come in yet, because Ross said that the elf lady dressed very casually in the room and would occasionally expose herself without realizing it.

Celia didn't know what she was doing, but when the city lord was visiting, even if you didn't wear formal clothes, you should at least dress properly.

If word got out that she was meeting a high-ranking nobleman from another country while wearing her pajamas, the elves would likely hunt her down.

So, Celia told Punir to wait outside while she came in to tell Elena to get dressed and cleanse her of the pollution. After that, it was up to her and Lord Punir to deal with her, and had nothing to do with her, an ordinary Holy Court prospective saintess!

The purification process went smoothly. After about half an hour, Celia had purified most of the pollution, leaving a small amount for later purification.

After finishing, Celia clapped her hands and said, "All done, Miss Elena. Let's go downstairs and get something to eat. It's on me."

Elena, unsuspecting, nodded. "No problem. As a token of my gratitude for the treatment, it's only right that I treat you to a meal."

She didn't mention the gold coins at all, and when Celia didn't bring it up, she pretended not to know.

She had initially thought that Celia was keeping her here so she would have to pay her.

Paying for saving lives is said to be a matter of course in human lands.

But if the other party doesn't mention it, then just pretend you don't know.

It's just a meal, no big deal.

The elven girl followed Celia to the first floor of the inn, where she saw a table laden with food and several people sitting on one side, ready for battle.

Elena felt that these people looked familiar, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly lowered her head, pretending not to see them.

But as Celia led her closer to that table, Elena felt increasingly uneasy.

"Wait, Miss Celia..."

"Everything is ready, Miss Elena, please take a seat."

Punil stood up and smiled, "Welcome, Miss Elena, to Southern City. I am Punil, the city lord. It is only because the light of the gods shines upon us that we have met here..."

Elena's scalp tingled.

She wanted to escape.

But there's no escaping it.

Because Celia had somehow appeared behind her and held her down.

Besides, there are so many people here, if she runs away...

Left with no other choice, Elena forced herself to sit down and put on a weak smile: "Hello, Lord Punil, you are too kind. I am flattered."

Is it grand?

Celia looked around.

In a hotel that was not luxurious, and at a meal that was not of diplomatic caliber.

It's already at a minimalist level, like having a casual meal.

As the 'introducer', Celia also sat down to the side. She didn't say anything, just ate her food and listened to their conversation.

Elena watched as Celia kept churning out foie gras, her eyes filled with heartache, but she could only watch helplessly and respond to Punil's words.

After the meal, it was time to discuss serious matters. Punil invited Elena to the tavern where foreign guests were entertained, but unfortunately, Elena declined.

"I apologize, Lord Punil. It was my fault for entering Southern City without informing you. However, I am only here for travel, wandering the world like a bard. I cannot represent the will of the Elven royal family. I will be leaving in two days to go to my next destination. If Punil wishes to cooperate, I will speak with the person in charge of the royal family when I return."

“It’s alright, Miss Elena. Even if we can’t cooperate right now, please allow us to extend our hospitality.” Punil smiled slightly.

"Lord Punil, I'm so sorry..." Elena replied painfully.

O God of Spirits, please free me!

At that moment, she was filled with regret.

I should have known better than to impersonate the elven royalty.

Celia, who was eating heartily, wiped her mouth, let out a burp, and then looked up and said, "Lord City Lord, since Miss Elena is in such a difficult position, let's not force her. She is just here on a trip. Cross-species cooperation is very important and cannot be rushed. Moreover, Miss Elena is injured and needs me to continue treating her, so we cannot delay."

Elena looked at Celia as if she had seen a savior, blinking rapidly.

She dared to tell Celia that she was an imposter, but she wouldn't dare say that to Punil.

Because the other party has a special identity.

If you say you're an imposter, you'll be in jail in the next second.

Celia had long noticed Elena's pain.

But she did not immediately come to her rescue.

Because she wasn't full yet.

However, now that I'm full, I can help her out of this predicament and also make my escape.

Hearing Celia's words, Punil nodded, "Then we'll do as Miss Celia says. Please help us treat Miss Elena well and make sure the elves don't suffer any injustice in our Ishtar Empire."

After eating and drinking her fill, Celia nodded: "Don't worry, leave it to me. I'm going to take Miss Elena back for further treatment."

"..."

After speaking, Celia got up and left. Elena breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed Celia.

Before leaving, she glanced longingly at the sumptuous meal on the table and swallowed hard.

I haven't eaten yet!

Chapter 209 The Holy Maiden is Vengeful!

After returning to her room with Celia, Elena rubbed her stomach, which she had only had time to eat a little bit of food, and said through gritted teeth, "Thank you so much, Miss Celia, for getting me out of that predicament. I really appreciate it."

Celia turned around and smiled, revealing her white teeth: "You're welcome. I should thank you for letting me have a free lunch at the city lord's feast."

Elena was so angry she wanted to bite him.

goo~

But then, her stomach suddenly growled.

Elena's face visibly turned red.

Celia was shocked: "Didn't you eat?"

Elena: “…”

Celia apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you hadn't eaten. Why don't you go and eat something now? The city lord and the others shouldn't have left yet."

Elena immediately shook her head. "No, I'm not hungry. I'm leaving now. Thank you for saving me last night, and thank you for your 'hospitality' earlier. See you again someday."

After saying that, she went into the room and began packing her belongings.

She packed quickly; she only had a small bag with a few sets of clothes inside, and that was it.

After putting everything away, she picked up the package and looked at the Pure Magic Crystal that Celia had placed in the wardrobe in her room. She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Miss Celia, could you sell me that magic crystal?"

Celia glanced at it and said, "That's what I use to power my staff; I don't sell it in principle."

"In principle, we don't sell," meaning we'll only sell if the price is right.

But pure magic crystals are extremely rare and hard to come by.

Basically, once one appears, it's put on the auction house, with a starting price of at least 1000 gold coins, something that even high-level mages would be interested in.

1000 gold coins is a lot, because an average family's annual income is only about ten gold coins, and that's assuming the whole family works together.

Moreover, those were all converted according to the official exchange rate. In reality, ordinary families rarely held gold coins, and mostly held copper and silver coins.

For sorcerers, most items are priced in gold, but items that cost 1000 gold are still in the minority.

Moreover, if there is a large demand, it could probably sell for four or five thousand gold coins.

This is a number that even ordinary nobles would envy.

If Elena can offer a price that appeals to Celia, Celia wouldn't mind selling.

This magic crystal, having been used by the Deep Sea Aid Society for a long time, has long been tainted by demonic energy. Furthermore, according to Ross, the magic crystal's value has been greatly diminished because it has been used as a medium for transmitting faith for a long time.

Ross gave Celia a metaphor called "mining card." Celia didn't know what "mining card" meant, but she knew that this description must mean that this magic crystal was much worse than an unused magic crystal.

"Unused magic crystals can probably only be found in magic crystal mines, which are truly rare and hard to come by," Celia thought.

Elena stared longingly at the Pure Magic Crystal and said, "I... I don't actually have many gold coins. How about this, I know an ancient ruin that has never been set foot in. I'll tell you where it is, and you give me the Pure Magic Crystal in return."

Celia's smile vanished.

"Walk slowly, don't send."

A mere underground city.

What's so strange about that?

If you say you'll conquer the dungeon, guarantee to complete it, and give me everything inside, then I might be interested.
