Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

"So this trip isn't about exploring the ruins. Anyone who wants to explore can go on their own, but don't drag others along. However, even if you linger outside the ruins, you'll still encounter dangers from inside, which is why I'm offering a bounty."

"That ruin periodically emits strange energy, forming a beautiful light on the ground like the aurora. If it happens to appear at night, the sky and the ground will be filled with the colors of the aurora, which must be the most beautiful colors in the whole world. My goal is to leave my image deep in this glacier when there is the aurora in the sky and on the ground!"

Parmisa seemed to be imagining that scene, her expression extremely excited.

However, she quickly frowned and said unhappily, "If it weren't for my old man saying that it was very dangerous there and insisting that I issue a bounty and take more people there, I would have gone by myself long ago, and I wouldn't have had to wait until today."

"In short, Mr. Goref, Miss Hiro, once we arrive, your job is to warn me and be aware of any monsters that may appear around us and the spread of aurora on the ground. We don't know yet whether the aurora spreading from the ruins has any adverse effects, so it's best not to touch it."

"Don't worry, Miss Pamisa, with me here, you'll be fine," Goreve said confidently, pounding his large muscles with his fist.

Celia simply nodded without saying a word.

Parmisa neither agreed nor disagreed, but simply nodded.

The group soon arrived at a station not far from the supply town in the far north.

Parmisa said, "Our destination is a bit far, let's rent two sleds."

No one objected, because Parmisa was the client; she could sit wherever she wanted, and others could only accompany her when she walked.

Pamisa asked Anthony to pull two sleds out of the station. Celia looked at them curiously and, after confirming that the sleds were powered by a low-level magic crystal, frowned slightly.

"Given the magic storage capacity of this magic crystal and the entire rune structure, it's probably only enough to get there, not enough to get back..."

The station owner smiled slightly and took out two low-grade magic crystals. "It's alright, you can buy two special magic crystals, each for only 1 gold coin."

Celia's eyes widened. "One gold coin..."

“Give us two,” Pamisa said.

"okay!"

Celia remained silent.

Fine, you're the boss, whatever makes you happy.

Chapter 365 seems to be just a minor issue.

Knowing the current price of magic crystals is an essential skill for every sorcerer, as it is the source of all magical items.

Basic Magic Crystal costs 5 silver coins, Intermediate Magic Crystal costs 1 gold coin, and Advanced Magic Crystal costs 20 gold coins.

This is a standard quality magic crystal, with the official suggested retail price. The actual price will vary depending on the quality and magic content, but it will not exceed this range.

Pure Magic Crystals are an exception, a rare item, and are not included in the guide price range.

The shopkeeper in front of me was selling a low-grade magic crystal with some runes for the price of a mid-grade magic crystal...

Even after she got into one of the sleds with Pamisa and Manica, Celia still didn't quite understand.

Surely the rune on the magic crystal, which is used to reduce magic power loss, can't possibly be that valuable?

Celia felt she could modify it herself, making its magic loss reduction value double again.

Parmisa's maid, Manica, seemed to sense Celia's confusion. As Parmisa drove the sled, she turned around and whispered to Celia, "It's like this, the supply of magic crystals in our Far North Supply Town is always insufficient, so it's normal for them to be expensive."

It's understandable that supply falling short of demand would cause prices to rise, but such a large increase is a bit outrageous.

"Luckily I didn't buy any magic crystals in town," Celia said with a smile.

Pamisa turned around and said, "It's so expensive, there's nothing we can do about it, Miss Hiro. It's because that guy tampered with the magic crystals. Only his magic crystals can power the sled; other magic crystals can't provide power."

"I see."

Celia sensed it and discovered that there were indeed hidden resonance runes on the magic crystal. The function of these runes was to limit the release of magic power when it was not in resonance. Only when it resonated with the resonance runes could the magic power in the magic crystal be used.

Although this resonance rune is quite rudimentary.

……

While sleds cannot match the speed of regular trains and armored vehicles, they can quickly traverse glaciers, hillsides, and ravines in the snow. As long as there is ice below, they can quickly adjust their movement and will not get stuck in the ice.

As we ventured deeper into the far north, everything around us was gradually covered by white ice and snow, with only a few small trees still growing.

Gradually, the trees disappeared, and the surrounding area became an ice field.

Gradually, the ice field was slowly covered by thick ice and glaciers.

Each of these glaciers is as big as a house. In some places, it's as flat as walking on flat ground, while in others, they've all cracked open. The glaciers are three or four meters apart, and the cracks are so deep they seem bottomless, like an insurmountable chasm.

For an ordinary person, it would be extremely difficult to move an inch.

Fortunately, sleds are specifically designed to handle these situations, easily traversing glacial crevasses three or four meters wide.

"Roar!"

A loud roar suddenly came from the side.

A huge figure appeared from behind a glacier and lunged at the two sleds.

It was none other than a specialty of the far north: a second-tier magical beast, the polar bear.

Seeing this, Goref shouted, "Well done!"

After speaking, he stood up, took out his weapon, a heavy greatsword.

The polar bear ran to the vicinity of the sled and immediately pounced on the provocative Goref.

Goref swung his greatsword with force.

Boom!

The greatsword collided violently with the polar bear.

The next second, the huge polar bear fell into a nearby glacial crevasse like a kite with a broken string.

Goref, however, showed no change in expression and remained very composed.

only--

The sled he and Anthony were riding in wasn't so stable.

Under the immense force of the polar bear, the sled veered to the other side and overturned.

Goref managed to jump out of the way just in time during the roll and was unharmed, but Anthony was in a terrible state.

He rolled around in the snow a few times before getting up, looking completely bewildered, and staring at the overturned sled.

The next second, his face turned pale. "My equipment!"

Anthony scrambled to the sled, struggled to lift it up, and revealed the package that had been trapped underneath.

Parmisa maneuvered another sled to stop beside her.

She glared at the two of them: "What's going on? A mere polar bear caused you two to lose your lives?"

Goref looked embarrassed: "I didn't expect this car to be so fragile, I'm sorry."

On the other side, Anthony took out the equipment from his backpack and checked it carefully. He breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Fortunately, only one lens is broken. Everything else is fine."

Pamisa asked, "Can the lens still be used if it's broken?"

"The projector itself is fine, it just can't project more precisely, everything else is normal."

"That's good."

Celia jumped off the vehicle, went over to check the condition of the sled, and said, "The sled has some damage. Although it doesn't affect its operation, if there's a next time, you'll have to run."

Goref scratched his head. "I promise there won't be a next time. I've never ridden this thing before, and I didn't know it was so brittle."

"Because it's just ordinary material."

After confirming that everything was alright, the group set off again.

This time, Goreve stopped showing off and honestly jumped out of his car to fight the polar bear.

Every time he defeated a polar bear or other monster from the far north, he would specifically look at Pamisa.

Unfortunately, the other side was focused solely on driving their sled, paying no attention to the battle raging behind them.

It was only Celia, who was sitting at the very back, who noticed the other person's subtle movements.

The girl thought to herself, "Does this mercenary named Goreve like Pamisa?"

Ross nodded: "It's something even a fool could see, and you're only realizing it now?"

Celia mentally made a face at Ross: "I've never been in a relationship, how would I know this is love?"

Ross chuckled, "Aren't you often the one being secretly watched?"

"Celia's looks and talent are quite similar, I'm used to this kind of thing!"

Saying this, Celia pouted, "What 'like'? He's obviously just attracted to her looks. If Manica were prettier than Pamisa, do you believe that Goreve would immediately only look at Manica?"

“Manika is easier to win over than Pamisa,” Ross laughed.

Celia's heart skipped a beat, and she giggled, "Lord Ross~ If it were you, who would you look at?"

Ross said calmly, "The level of divine covenant is too low, I won't look at it."

"So Lord Ross only judges people by their divine contract and not their appearance?" Celia muttered, feeling inexplicably happy and disappointed.

Just then, Pamisa, who was at the forefront, said, "Everyone, pay attention. We have officially entered the depths of the far north. From here on, monsters will begin to appear. Tier 3 monsters may be hiding in the glaciers, ready to attack us at any time. Mr. Griff, Miss Hiro, it's up to you."

“Don’t worry, we’ve got it covered,” Goreve said immediately, even implying that Celia was on his behalf.

No sooner had they finished speaking than the glacier beside them suddenly exploded, turning into countless icicles that slammed into the two of them.

boom!

Chapter 366 Alina's Sleeping Place?

"Huff, drink, huff, drink..."

Gorif and Anthony were still panting, not yet recovered from the attack.

He looked at the ice shield that enveloped the entire sled, and couldn't help but glance at Celia sitting behind Manica.

"Thank you," he said.

Just as the explosion was about to destroy the sled, Celia's ice shield descended, trapping both the sled and its inhabitants, preventing the icy shards and shockwaves from being destroyed.

This Tier 3 muscular mercenary is a greatsword master who excels in both offense and defense. All his defenses are only aimed at himself, and he has no ability to protect others as well.

So Celia had no choice but to step in, otherwise their sled would be destroyed and they would have to squeeze in with them, which was never a pleasant thought.

She didn't want to squeeze in with a mercenary who reeked of sweat.

If it comes to that, she will choose to give up her position and ride the flying broom herself.

"What was that just now?" Celia asked.

She added ice shields to Goref and Anthony's sleds while simultaneously slaying the monsters hidden within with a smooth combo.

However, after being killed, the monster turned into a lump of ice and blended into the environment.

“Yeti,” Anthony said. “A monster that can hide in ice and snow. It’s a special kind of monster that only comes into existence in the far north. It usually hides on glaciers by the roadside. When a target gets close, it will explode the glacier to attack. After it dies, it turns into ice and snow.”

Goref spat, "These monsters are annoying. You get nothing from killing them, and you still have to be careful. Ugh!"

As he spoke, Goref kicked the snow monster that had been transformed into ice and snow, scattering it all.

Pamisa glanced at it and shook her head: "Mr. Goreve, your commission is not to explore the ruins, not to fight, but to protect them. If you are careless again, you will have to pay for the sled yourself."

A sled doesn't cost much; the most expensive part is the magic crystal used as energy. All the other parts combined aren't worth as much as a single low-level magic crystal—meaning a magic crystal that costs 1 gold coin, not 5 silver coins.

Pamisa's words were actually directed at Goreve, telling him that if he couldn't even protect a sled, he shouldn't even think about protecting her and should just get lost.

Goref understood the implication, gave an awkward laugh, and had nothing to say.

So he became more cautious and was no longer the fearless person he once was.

The rest of the journey went a little more smoothly, thanks to our carefulness.

Along the way, they occasionally encountered other mercenaries, some lone wolves, others in large groups.

Seemingly recognizing Parmisa and Goref, the mercenaries did not stop them and allowed them to pass through smoothly.

Several hours later, they arrived at their destination, a place that looked no different from any other ice field.

“This place is very close to the far northern ocean, so everyone be careful when you move around. The ground we are standing on is likely water, and monsters may attack from the water,” Anthony said.

Pamisa glanced at him. "You don't need to tell me, you're the most useless person here. Go fix your phonograph."
