Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

It seems like Celia handled both the dispelling and healing all by herself?

Elena sat down next to Celia.

Seeing this, Celia shifted her position and said, "You've come at the right time. Let's begin the treatment."

Elena opened her mouth, looking at the purification and healing light that appeared on Celia's hand, which was slightly different from before.

"Celia, you...you were able to treat patients on your own before?"

"Oh, no, it's just that I just received a divine revelation and gained some insight into purification magic. This insight unexpectedly allows me to dispel curses," Celia chuckled.

Elena: “…”

"What are you standing there for? It's your turn."

"If you can purify it all by yourself, it seems like you don't need me..."

"Why would you think that? Although I can purify it on my own, I still want you to come with me."

"why?"

Celia blinked: "Isn't this to make you feel more involved?"

Elena: “???”

"Just kidding. It takes a lot of effort for me to work alone. Let's work together. Hurry up, the patient can't wait."

"……okay."

Working together, the two managed to take down all the mercenaries in line.

Celia also took the time to inquire about the two elves.

Elena replied, "They had a dispute with the Royal Mercenary Group's leader, Pascal, because they weren't paid enough for their treatments."

"Too little reward?" Celia asked curiously, "How much can they possibly get for a treatment fee of 5 silver coins?"

Elena shook her head and tapped two fingers on the table. "It's confidential. They didn't tell me."

Celia glanced at Elena's fingers. "Two people?"

Elena nodded.

That means each person gets 1 silver coin, and the remaining 3 silver coins are all taken by the Royal Mercenary Group?

No wonder they argued.

"They signed a contract with Pascal, but felt it was too low, so they wanted to raise the price. Pascal disagreed, telling them that if they wanted to make money, they should raise the price, not break the contract. So they raised the price."

Celia frowned. "This contract... the penalty for breach of contract must be very high."

Elena nodded. "They also want to leave Pascal, but the penalty for breaking their contract is too high. They have to keep going until the Royal Mercenary Group leaves the ruins."

“This Pascal is going a bit too far.” Celia frowned. “He actually shifted the blame for his conflict with the elven priest to a conflict between mercenaries and elven priests… Raising prices is fine, but I wonder if the contract between the two elves has any healing requirements, such as how many people they must heal in a day or something.”

Elena shook her head: "No, they signed an equal and mutual assistance contract, which emphasizes equal responsibility, so there is no such requirement."

"That is not bad."

“I want to help them break free from Pascal’s contract.”

"How do you want to help?"

"I...I've never encountered anything like this before, and I don't know what to do. Celia, can you help me?"

Celia: "..."

She didn't speak, she just stared at Elena.

Elena gritted her teeth: "As for the distribution of the treasure, I'll get four and you get six."

Celia shook her head: "Don't do that. If you want to help them, you don't need to come to me at all. You just need to tell your elf friends that there is an ancient ruin here where you can earn extra money and explore the ruins."

"Isn't this directly cutting off their source of income?"

Celia said calmly, "You just want to help them break free from Pascal's contract, not help them make money. This trick will help you break free from the equal and mutually beneficial contract. But if you want them to make money, go ahead. I can explore the ruins without you."

Elena was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Sorry, I understand. Shall we set off to continue exploring the ruins?"

"Well, let's go."

The midday update is delayed because something came up.

Sigh, I need to work on stockpiling chapters from now on (is it really possible to stockpile chapters by updating five times a day?).

Chapter 237 Are these two Celias the same person? It's so hard to guess!

“Your Highness Emilia, this is a metal piece I found at the bottom of the lake in the manor.”

The mercenary, soaking wet, respectfully handed over a small piece of iron. Emilia took it, carefully examined the patterns on it, and slowly smiled.

"Great, this is the last piece of the key puzzle to open the door. Thank you for your hard work."

Emilia took out the other iron pieces, looked up at the ancient castle with its twelve spires, and relaxed.

"This castle is indeed very difficult to conquer. We should be the first team to enter the castle. Everyone, open the 'Yesterday Once More' app and memorize how I entered the castle!"

"Yes!"

The other mercenaries all looked excited.

This ruin is so difficult to find, you can tell at a glance that there must be a lot of treasures inside.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to set up so many traps in the manor just to prevent outsiders from obtaining the keys to the castle.

Emilia could already see the treasure inside the castle beckoning to her. It was so harsh outside, surely the inside couldn't be full of traps too, right?

Just as she was about to open the door, she suddenly sensed something, looked up at the central tower, and squinted.

"Is there any movement on that tower?"

Looking over, others could see that from about four or five stories up the tower, various lights were shimmering in the windows.

The faint sound traveled a distance and reached their ears.

After listening carefully for a moment, they immediately concluded that it was the sound of colliding spells.

Under what circumstances would magic collide within ancient ruins that have been silent for thousands of years?

The answer is obvious.

"Has someone already gone that far?"

The initial excitement of finding the complete key fragments vanished instantly.

Based on experience with most ruins, the tower is probably the core area of ​​the entire ruins, like a lost lighthouse, a unique and absolute core that has not been divided into countless mirror worlds.

Once you conquer that area, you can control the entire ruins and obtain the most precious treasures within.

Of course, it's also possible that they accidentally entered the same mirror world as other teams.

The former indicates a powerful team, while the latter not only has a powerful team but also plundered everything, leaving them with nothing.

Emilia looked solemnly at the tower window where the hand was constantly waving.

Beside him, a mercenary whispered, "Your Highness, we cannot rule out the possibility that we have accidentally entered a mirrored ruin that someone else is currently attacking."

Emilia thought for a moment and said, "Let's go out and come back in to take a look. We can't waste this precious key."

She gazed intently at the tower, trying to see what lay inside through its windows.

So, who could be inside?

Emilia couldn't help but picture the two mysterious elves.

As she turned to leave, she instructed a mercenary: "After you get out, go and see those two elf ladies, and see what they've been doing these past two days."

"Yes!"

After giving the orders, Emilia led her people away from the ruins, and her subordinates immediately sprang into action.

She also chose to return to the camp to rest for a while.

As she passed by Celia's camp, she took a special look and saw no one there. Then she looked at the healing point that her brother had set up across the street and suddenly noticed that the 5 silver coin coin had been marked with an "X" and that 10 silver coins were written next to it.

She shook her head: "All you do all day is think about these trivial things. I wonder how you're going to finish your archaeology coursework."

Back at the camp, one of her men immediately came over and whispered a few words in her ear.

Emilia raised an eyebrow. "Those two elf ladies went to town yesterday and sold a lot of mid-level magic crystals? It seems they had a good haul at the ruins... Hmm? And Miss Celia bought a lot of blank scrolls?"

Emilia made her judgment.

If the magical fluctuations emanating from that tower were from adventurers entering, then it's highly likely that they were these two elf ladies.

If they succeed in clearing the ruins... the ruins within human territory have been breached by foreigners...

It seems quite interesting to think about, but I wonder how the ownership of the ruins will be decided in the future...

Emilia couldn't help but think of the last piece of information she had gathered from her investigation.

An elf named Celia purchased a large number of blank scrolls...

"If I remember correctly, that saintess named Celia is also very skilled in scroll making, no less so than Pascal. She seems to be in Southern City right now, which isn't far from here. Is she the same person? It's so hard to guess."

Emilia wasn't sure either; it would be embarrassing if she guessed wrong.

After a moment's thought, she said to her subordinates, "Go and keep watch at the entrance of the ruins. If those two elf ladies return, invite them to come and sit here for a while. Hmm, there's no need to hide the details of the invitation."

There's no need to hide it; it means they'd love for the whole world to know.

The meaning here is to let Pascal know.

The subordinate understood Emilia's meaning and obeyed.

……

In the evening, Celia and Elena returned.

"That was great today! I made it to the sixth floor in one go. I'll be able to clear the game in just a few days!"

"Work harder!"

Today's harvest was still a bunch of magic crystals, as if this ruin is a major producer of mid-level magic crystals. There were almost no other materials, and the materials for dismantling traps were negligible.

Looking at the magic crystal in her hand, Elena sighed, "If we hadn't gone out of our way to dismantle the magic crystal, we probably would still be empty-handed by now."

Celia said, "There should be treasure chests in the ruins, but the clues to the next level are hidden so deep that we'll probably have to search the entire castle to find them."

"What if we search everywhere and still can't find it..."

"It's possible. For example, it could be placed in the ceiling cavity or in the core of a trap. If you remove the wrong one, it will destroy the treasure chest or something. It seems like that's a possibility for this ruin."

The two were chatting and laughing when several people suddenly appeared in front of them and blocked their way.

The leading man spoke loudly, "Two elven priestesses, our leader Emilia would like to invite you to the camp for a chat. We would be honored if you would do us the honor!"

Celia paused, exchanged a glance with Elena, and asked, "Miss Emilia, is there something you need?"

"The team leader said he wanted to discuss a big business deal with the two of you."

"Then lead the way."

Talking business? No problem, no problem.

The mercenary who came to fetch them had a voice as loud as a megaphone, as if he wanted the whole world to know what he was saying.

Celia felt something was off.

But if it's just about doing business and nothing else, then it doesn't matter.

Soon, accompanied and led by several mercenaries, Celia and Elena arrived at the Royal Mercenary Group's camp.

Upon entering, they saw Emilia practicing swordsmanship. Seeing the two approach, she casually tossed her sword aside and got straight to the point:

“Miss Celia, I would like to purchase information about the ruins from you, as well as… third-tier spell scrolls.”

Chapter 238 Can I join you?

Want to buy scrolls from me?

Celia's heart skipped a beat.

Did Emilia discover something?
