"I see." Benovia secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. "Okay, what should I do?"

"We have received a revelation: you have obtained that peculiar puppet heart, which is the key to communicating with the gods..."

Ross gently guided Benovia, helping her to memorize the summoning circle.

However, she was not Celia after all, and she could not possibly understand the magic circle just by listening to her.

So Ross took out the blueprints for the magic circle and gave them to Benovia.

"Modify the statue according to the above method, and place the Heart of the Puppet in the center."

Benovia looked at the magic circle design diagram and the neatly written annotations, and her brows slowly relaxed.

"Ok, I see!"

Rose pretended not to know that she recognized the handwriting as Celia's, nodded, and left.

After he had been gone for a long time, Benovia examined the design drawing carefully as if it were a priceless treasure.

After careful examination, she concluded: "This design was definitely created by Celia!"

She knew that Celia's magic circle performance was far ahead of the competition. She had been in frequent contact with her during this period and had also seen her handwriting.

The two are so similar that Benovia felt her guess was pretty close to the truth.

"If it's Celia, we can trust her."

With that in mind, Benovia began to study the magic array design.

Her understanding of magic circles was limited to their effects and names; she couldn't understand the design drawings, but that didn't stop her from understanding the materials needed or from copying them.

After noting down the materials needed, Benovia left the hut and returned to her own place to search. "I have most of the materials. As for the rest, I'll have someone buy them tomorrow."

The following evening, after finishing her meditation, Benovia quickly went to the prayer hut, laid out all the materials, and began to meticulously carve according to the patterns on the design.

She didn't understand magic circles, but she did understand magic doll runes. The two were largely interchangeable. For large-scale paintings like magic circles, if you just copy them, the margin for error is very high, but it takes a lot of time and effort.

Especially for those who don't understand magic arrays.

Drawing the diagram until late at night, Benovia looked at the fifth of it completed, wiped her forehead, and said, "The magic circle is so difficult, but it'll be quick too!"

……

A few days later, as the final stroke was completed, the magic crystals at each node of the magic circle emitted a faint light, and then slowly disappeared underground along with the magic circle, hiding themselves away.

"Next, you need to take the Heart of the Puppet, then pray to the God and call upon Him..."

The girl closed her eyes, and following the same method as before, held the fragment of divinity in her hands, entered a state of prayer, and began to call upon Ross.

Ross had been watching her the whole time, and once he knew she had started, he returned to the sealed land and began bombarding the sealing array.

Ethel frowned: "What's wrong with you? It's no use. The sealing array is incredibly sturdy inside. Stop going crazy. We'll destroy the temple later and you can build it yourself!"

Having undergone so much labor reform, Ethel had become accustomed to building temples. When he saw that Ross's bombing of the sealing array was causing the temple to shake, he quickly used his divine power to envelop the temple and prevent it from being destroyed.

Ross ignored him, feeling the call gradually becoming clearer. He used all his strength to tear a gap in the sealing array with a punch, and locked his mental power onto the call from Benovia. Through the mental connection channel opened by his godhood, he quickly established a connection with Benovia.

For the first time, Ross appeared directly in someone else's mental space without going through Celia. He couldn't help but smile. He looked at Benovia's soul and chuckled, "Why did you summon me?"

Benovia's soul was trembling. After establishing contact with her, Ross could easily sense that her heart was beating very fast, and she was extremely nervous and flustered, yet also somewhat excited.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. My name is Benovia Ishtar. It is an honor that you have answered my call and descended upon me."

“O devout Benovia Ishtar, speak your wish, and in return for your devotion, I will grant your beautiful wish.”

When he was summoned by Celia, it was somewhat unexpected. At the same time, Ross did not yet have the awareness of being a god, which caused his prestige to drop drastically.

It's different now.

Ross sensed the tension and fear in Benovia's heart, part of which seemed to stem from a worry that getting close to the gods would diminish their majesty and mystery.

He smiled at Benovia.

Worried that frequent contact will ruin your sophistication?

Then let's create a majestic image of a deity for you.

Thank you for the 500-point donation from West End!

Chapter 296 Benovia's body feels blocked

How to portray a majestic deity?

It's very simple: just talk less and show your face less.

After descending into Benovia's mental space, Ross discovered that this method could not compare to Celia's casual summoning.

Although he can form a contract with Benovia after being summoned and help her fulfill her wishes, he cannot control Benovia as freely as he can when he enters Celia's body.

When he tries to enter Benovia, he feels a blockage.

It didn't come from Benovia, but from the sealing array.

The sealing array was struggling to close the cracks, constantly preventing him from contacting Benovia.

This was a feeling that Celia had never experienced before.

Ross also sensed that if he ignored the blockage and tried to control Benovia's body, it could lead to unpredictable consequences.

In addition, he cannot control Benovia's puppets—if he tries to control them, the puppets will sever their connection with Benovia and become his possessions.

Furthermore, he was unable to condense a spiritual body in reality through Benovia, and his mental power detection was severely limited, with an unstable connection that could be lost at any time.

However, there are two things that are acceptable.

One reason is that as long as Benovia carries the core fragment of her divine essence with her, he can enter Benovia's mental space at any time.

Secondly, knowledge can be transmitted directly to her, but if a large amount of information, such as magical knowledge, is to be transmitted, she needs to return to the magic circle. Otherwise, the connection between the two will be broken because it cannot withstand the huge amount of knowledge.

If we consider Celia's connection as a gigabit network, then Benovia's connection is roughly equivalent to a 2G network. Only at the center of the magic circle can it be upgraded to a 4G network.

Ross thought to himself, "No matter how hard I try, it's still not as good as Celia's casual finger. But this is just the beginning. When others can also make contact with me and tear the sealing array, I will be able to control it freely... But by then, the seal will probably be broken soon, so it won't matter anymore."

"Perhaps there is still one problem to solve. The current fragments of the godhood are only three-tenths of the complete godhood. The rest is still outside. Perhaps by collecting other fragments to complete it, we can upgrade the connection channel."

The contract signing process went smoothly. Benovia was summoned voluntarily, having already planned what she wanted to do beforehand.

Her wish remains the same as before: that there will be no more hunger in the world and that everyone will have bread to eat.

The agreement was made in accordance with the price of helping Ross get out of jail.

“An interesting wish, Benovia. This wish cannot be fulfilled overnight; it will take some time. Just wait and see.”

After Ross finished speaking, he disappeared into Benovia's mental space.

Inside the sealed land, he looked up at the gap that he and the fragment of divinity had torn open from the inside, and smiled.

“Jonathan and the others’ method is good and it is indeed useful, but the requirements are too high. Let’s set the second target on the Ice God. It just so happens that Celia is going to the far north in July.”

……

Benovia slowly opened her eyes only after the god's trace had completely disappeared.

She touched her chest and felt her heart pounding.

However, thinking about what Ross said before he left, she felt a little disappointed.

"So, even the most powerful god in legend can't ensure everyone has bread to eat? It will take some time. How long is that?"

Benovia didn't know.

I just hope it won't take too long.

Otherwise, you'll have to rely on yourself.

"While there's nothing wrong with relying on yourself... but..."

The girl patted her cheeks and gently exhaled.

"Speaking of which, the allowance given by my father and older siblings should have arrived by now. I need to find some time to spend it."

Lost in thought, Benovia got up and left.

The next day, Sunday.

A rare moment of relaxation.

Benovia got up early in the morning, boarded the carriage of the Holy Winged Unicorn, and after applying for a flight permit, flew towards the outskirts of Shining City.

Leaving Shining City, Benovia headed north, sending the Holy Winged Unicorn flying at high speed.

A few hours later, she arrived in a small town.

"This must be Ainars's hometown, Frost Town, right?"

Benovia descended, leaving the Holy Winged Unicorn to wait aside, and went inside alone.

Since the gang was wiped out and the high priest of the temple was arrested, many industries in this town have undergone changes.

A new high priest has moved in, and a new gang is emerging.

"Previously, it was Celia who dealt with the gangs, but now, one member of the Sunfire Gang has died, and the Blazing Sun Gang has appeared..."

The girl's expression showed obvious disappointment.

"My Lord, these insects always emerge from the corners and devour what little the common people have left. Is it really possible for them to do that?"

Just then, a voice came from the side: "Miss Benovia, you've arrived."

Benovia turned her head and smiled, "Miss Marina, you've arrived. I'll leave this to you."

As she spoke, she handed over a box and instructed, "This box is a special device that can only be opened with a key. Opening it without a key will take you to another floor and trigger an alarm."

"The key can resonate with the puppet and become part of it. Now that you're at level two, you have the puppet storage spell, so you can put the key and the puppet together."

Marina, who had come all the way from Bea Village, nodded: "I understand. With your help, Bea Village doesn't need me anymore. Thank you for allowing me to continue to shine."

Benovia smiled slightly: "It's all for a noble ideal. You're welcome. You're someone Celia approves of, and I trust you."

Marina nodded earnestly: "I won't let you down. All these gold coins will be used to ensure that all the hungry people have bread to eat every day!"

Marina took the box, bowed solemnly, and then walked out of Frost Town.

Most of the people who need help live not in the town itself, but on the outskirts.

Marina, who was used to dealing with poor and remote areas, found everything in the city unfamiliar.

Benovia watched the other person leave, pondered for a moment, and then walked towards the temple.

"Let me see if I can be like Celia..."

Half an hour later, Benovia left in disappointment.

"As expected, what Celia did was not something that others could easily do."

The high priest who accompanied her was drenched in sweat: "Miss Benovia, I am different from the previous one. I am truly honest and upright."

"I hope you remember this."

"I promise I'll remember!"

The last one was just arrested less than a year ago, who would dare to touch them? Look, this Holy Maiden is back again.

Fortunately, I remembered all of them. The new high priest was overjoyed.

After leaving the temple, Benovia boarded a carriage and began her return journey.

Halfway there, she suddenly remembered something and slapped her forehead.

"Oh no! I gave her all my gold coins! I'm doomed, I'm out of money this month."

Thank you 8383 for feeding Celia twice!

Chapter 297 Celia Goes Crazy from Suffocation

With the arrival of May, various regions began holding qualifying rounds and elimination tournaments for the Mage League.

Even the Holy Magic Academy is no exception.

Except for first-year students who are not very aware of it, students in other grades are paying attention to this selection process.

The Holy Magic Academy has a five-year curriculum. The standard graduation requirements are to reach the second tier in the first and second years, the third tier in the third and fourth years, and the third tier in the fifth year. Graduation requires mastering spells and developing one's own style, or meeting the requirements in auxiliary professions such as puppet making, scroll making, and magic array making.

To stay at the university, one needs to reach level four within five years, which allows them to continue their studies as a mentor.
