Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

Elena nodded: "Okay."

As she finished speaking, a green light appeared on her body.

Elves' nature magic is innate, unlike humans' affinity for nature magic, and humans cannot cultivate it.

Their magic is like real nature, refreshing and delightful.

The light of the elven blessing emanated from her, and the many mercenaries watching seemed to breathe in the natural air of an air conditioner commercial, their spirits lifted, and their bodies seemed to be filled with power.

"What powerful magic!"

"Why does it feel like an elf's blessing?"

"No, it's the blessing of an elf! That lady is an elf!"

"I've heard that elven blessings can purify most curses. The Eternal Night Mercenary Group is quite lucky; there are elves nearby."

"Elves truly are a race that represents kindness and beauty!"

"..."

While everyone was discussing it, Elena was using an elven blessing to dispel the curse from the lying mercenary.

Runes that can be applied to the human body are a combination of magic and runes, also known as incantations.

"The curse on this mercenary is so ancient... layer upon layer, it seems like there are a hundred layers, it's so hard to dispel."

A bead of sweat appeared on Elena's forehead.

Celia reached out her hand, and a purification spell appeared. Following the flow of the mercenary's magic, she tried to sense the curse within him.

"Sorcery is a combination of spells and runes. As long as it involves runes, I should be able to understand it..."

Soon, she sensed Elena's magic battling against the spells within the mercenary's body.

Ross glanced at it and said, "This method of cursing looks familiar. Celia, you can use your mage's hand to resolve it."

“Okay.” Celia agreed, her mental energy transforming into a mage’s hand, flowing through the purification spell into the mercenary’s body, joining the battlefield to help Elena dispel the layers of curses.

With Celia's help, Elena quickly dispelled the curse.

Then, Celia's healing spell covered the mercenary's entire body, stabilizing his injuries.

This level of injury cannot be healed in one go. Even if Celia had a way to heal it, she wouldn't use it on him easily, as that would make others think too much.

After stabilizing the injury, Celia stood up and said, "Alright, this friend's injury has stabilized. Treatment cost: 2 gold coins. Thank you."

The members of the Eternal Night Mercenary Group breathed a sigh of relief. A mercenary who seemed to be the group leader came over, took out two gold coins, and thanked them, saying, "Thank you for your healing, my two friends. I am Hertos, the leader of the Eternal Night Mercenary Group. The Eternal Night Mercenary Group will be your eternal friend. May I ask if you could tell us your names?"

Celia took the gold coins and said, "We're just ordinary mercenaries passing by, making a little money. There's no need for us to know our names."

She gave Elena a gold coin, the two exchanged a glance, smiled slightly, and walked outside without saying another word.

Hertos's voice came from behind: "When you two get back, you might as well visit our Eternal Night Mercenary Group. We will prepare a sumptuous dinner for you."

These two mercenaries were so powerful, and they seemed to be independent individuals. Hethos decided to recruit them.

Celia sensed it too. Without turning around, she waved her hand behind her, saying, "No need."

The crowd parted to make way for the two as they left.

Thank you fairyair for the 1500-point donation!

Chapter 217 A Grand Plan to Make Money Through Cooperation

News of the Eternal Night Mercenary Group's ordeal quickly spread throughout the temporary camp.

Everyone was discussing what the Eternal Night Mercenary Group had encountered and whether they had managed to open the secret passage in the ruins.

Celia and Elena were also in the mercenaries' discussion.

The main topics of discussion, besides marveling at their timely rescue, included whether this ancient ruin was riddled with cursed traps.

If so, then there's a big problem.

Hearing the mercenaries' concerns, Celia had an idea and pulled Elena aside.

"Elena, I think we can postpone the raid on the ruins. We could set up a healing stall together, specializing in dispelling the mercenaries' curses and healing their injuries. What do you think?"

Elena was taken aback. "Why?"

"Of course it's for making money!"

Elena shook her head. "What a waste of time. What if none of us get hurt?"

"Uh, I think it's worth doing. Do you really think we can clear the ruins in one day?"

Elena shook her head.

Celia patiently persuaded, "That's right. Take a little bit of the strategy every day, and when you come back, set up a small stool and dispel curses and heal everyone. I think, given what this ruin is showing, I'm guaranteed to earn a lot of gold coins."

Elena seemed to have never considered making money this way, and hesitated for a moment, saying worriedly, "What if a curse I can't purify appears?"

"Just say it can't be cured, don't worry. There may be some curses you can't dispel, but with me, I can't say we can cure them all, but at least most of them can."

Elena nodded, recalling the scene of Celia assisting in dispelling the debuff.

She agreed.

"Okay, I've never thought about this before, let's give it a try."

Celia nodded, then suddenly asked curiously, "You've never set up a stall before? How do you usually earn money?"

Elena's eyes flickered. "I do earn money. After going to ancient ruins, I'll get some things to sell. But most of the time, I survive by borrowing money from others."

Ross laughed and said, "Actually, it was theft."

"What?" Celia's pupils dilated.

Ross said, "During the few days you were in Southland City, she would occasionally 'borrow' some gold coins and other things from the underground organizations and gangs in Southland City, especially during the time you were preparing. For example, she visited the Eastern Hunting Association five or six times."

Celia: "..."

Her gaze toward Elena was eerie.

How does such a beautiful, lovely, and seemingly noble 'elf royalty' obtain her money in this way?

"She 'borrowed' so many times, how come she wasn't caught?" Celia was a little confused.

Ross said, "She's skilled and knows how to disguise herself. Even if someone notices something is wrong afterward, they won't suspect that it was stolen by a noble 'elf royal'."

Celia: "..."

"What's wrong?" Elena asked, puzzled by Celia's unusual expression.

Celia shook her head. "It's nothing. We'll open the gates to the ruins tomorrow, explore them, and I'll teach you how to make money."

"Oh, okay." Elena didn't think much of it.

She didn't seem to think that helping people with treatments could earn her much money.

After all, every team has a priest.

If the curse is dispelled...

The tragic state of the Eternal Night Mercenary Group today has been highlighted by everyone, so there are definitely not that many people afflicted by the curse.

Moreover, not everyone is a large mercenary group like the Eternal Night Mercenary Group, who gives you 2 gold coins without batting an eye.

Most mercenaries would be reluctant to spend 2 silver coins on treatment, let alone 2 gold coins.

So Elena didn't take it to heart; she was more concerned about tomorrow's adventure.

"I've put in countless efforts to get here, and I'm determined to unravel the mysteries of these ruins!"

……

the next day.

After packing their belongings and entrusting their personal items to a merchant guild that specialized in storing personal belongings, the two arrived at the gate of the ruins.

There were far fewer people at the gate today than yesterday.

Only a few people were wandering around the area, hoping to find a way to open the door.

Meanwhile, many more people gathered at the tunnel where the Eternal Night Mercenary Group was located, watching or assisting the Eternal Night Mercenary Group in digging the tunnel.

Triggering the trap yesterday did not stop the Eternal Night Mercenary Group from digging; on the contrary, it ignited their passion for digging.

They firmly believed that triggering the trap meant they had dug in the right direction and would soon be able to reach the interior of the ruins and explore them from a different angle.

The fewer people made things easier for Celia and Elena.

Celia took out her staff and removed the cloth covering it—this was a disguise she had put on after entering the camp. After all, the Pure Magic Crystal, as the core of the staff's magic, would definitely attract a lot of attention, especially since this was an ancient ruin that required the Pure Magic Crystal to open the door.

“Elena, I’ll put the staff up first, but don’t go in yet. I’ll test the descent speed of the stone door before I go in,” Celia said, looking at the stone door.

Elena nodded, "Okay!"

Celia arrived in front of the stone gate and looked at the pure magic crystal inlay groove that was almost as tall as a person.

She attached the staff to it.

The exposed area of ​​the magic crystal on the staff is just right for embedding into it.

When the Pure Magic Crystal is inserted into the groove, it emits a white light. Unlike the white of the Holy type, this white is attribute-free magic power, which quickly flows outwards through the patterns on the stone door.

A moment later, the entire mountain began to move.

The massive stone gate slowly rose, and some vines and soil that had not been cleared away fell down as the gate rose, landing on a patch of Celia's hair.

Celia dared not dodge, fearing that if she released her staff, the ruins would devour her pure magic crystal along with the staff.

After the stone gate rose about half a meter, she pulled her staff outward with force, detaching the Pure Magic Crystal from the groove.

The shaking of the stone gate stopped, and it ceased to rise.

The spreading magical patterns quickly lost their radiance.

About three seconds later, the stone door fell rapidly, crashing heavily to the ground like a free-falling object, making a dull thud.

The entire mountain trembled.

"Three seconds is enough." Celia breathed a slight sigh of relief.

At this moment, the unusual situation attracted the attention of the surrounding mercenaries, who quickly headed towards the location.

Celia said, "Elena, you go in, I'll follow you right away."

“Okay.” Elena nodded.

Without hesitation, after the massive stone gate rose again, she crouched down and slipped inside.

When the stone gate rose to a point where Celia had to stand on tiptoe to hold her staff, she decisively tore off the staff, crouched down, and crawled through the stone gate.

Upon seeing this, the mercenaries who had gathered rushed over.

During the three seconds it took for the stone gate to fall after losing its magic supply, some mercenaries actually ran over.

But they hesitated and did not go in immediately.

They feared that as they went in, the stone gate would cut them in half.

They did not move until the stone gate slammed down heavily.

In the end, all they could do was look at the stone gate with regret and sigh.

Chapter 218 The Incredible Labyrinth

"Is this the interior of the ruins?"

Celia and Elena, having passed through the stone gate, were somewhat shocked by the scene before them.

They saw that the interior of the ruins was intricate and complex, with roads cutting through the space, intertwined like countless ropes.

Yes, space is not a plane.

The entire space was filled with various roads, which floated in the air. Most of them were not vertical, and some were even upside down.

The road stretching out beneath my feet disappeared into a tangled mess of roads. Looking further into the distance, I could only see scattered starlight, which seemed to be the starry sky, or perhaps lights shining from a window.

The two were stunned for a moment when they saw this situation for the first time.

Celia had only seen the Lost Lighthouse ruins and hadn't explored what the other ruins looked like. After looking at them for a while, she turned to Elena and asked, "Elena, are the other ruins like this too?"
