Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

After catching up, Celia pondered for a moment and said, "It's like this, I have a friend who is also seriously ill and wants to be healed by that beautiful angel."

"You were eavesdropping on my conversation?" the High Priest asked.

Celia slowly stepped forward, saying as she walked, "You were talking so loudly, it was impossible for me not to hear you. I came to find Grace because I heard that her child received treatment, so I came to ask her how she was cured on behalf of my friend."

The High Priest looked at Celia and said coldly, "Stop approaching."

Celia curled her lips into a smile: "I won't!"

After saying that, the Ice Shield spell was already cast on the 'High Priest'.

Celia's bracelet had already started recording. If the 'High Priest' broke free and ran away, she would use the bracelet's recording to show Benovia.

Those who know Benovia's whereabouts are either her friends or her enemies. Regardless of which one, as long as they reveal the other's fighting style, Celia believes Benovia should be able to recognize them.

Celia's sudden use of Ice Shield caught the High Priest off guard, but he reacted quickly, and water magic rapidly appeared.

The deep blue magic slammed into the ice shield, causing it to melt eerily.

Then, the 'High Priest' emerged from the melting ice shield and ran away without looking back, much faster than before.

Celia watched the other person run away, lost in thought, and did not give chase.

“This magical power…”

It was strange; it looked like water-based magic, but it was slightly different from water-based magic. If it weren't for the mage's hand left on the ice shield by Celia, I wouldn't have noticed it at all.

Coincidentally, Celia had just come into contact with this water-based magic that morning.

Celia watched the departing figure, brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and returned to school.

"I won't tell Benovia who the other person is yet; let's see if she can guess," Celia thought to herself.

Soon, Benovia's exam ended, and Celia found Benovia and took her to a deserted place, where she played the recording of the tracking of the 'High Priest' for her.

Benovia tilted her head and clapped her hands. "As expected of Celia, I knew it. As long as you take action, you'll definitely be able to find them."

Benovia was full of surprise; she clearly hadn't expected that Celia would actually find the 'High Priest' she had been searching for so long so quickly.

Celia quickly explained, "It's just a coincidence. It's possible that you were investigating her before, which is why the 'High Priest' didn't show up. Only now that you've given up the investigation have you found an opportunity to contact Grace."

Benovia laughed and said, "I haven't given up the investigation. That's why I'm asking for your help."

Celia rolled her eyes: "So, you figured out who it was?"

Benovia stared intently at the projection until the other party broke free from Celia's ice shield and left, then shook her head: "I can't see clearly, but based on the voice and body shape, I can roughly judge that the other party should be a woman."

Celia pondered for a moment, then asked, "If you find her, what will you do?"

Benovia blinked. "Not much. Just confirm the other party's identity and purpose, and then give the appropriate reward or punishment."

Celia told Benovia about the conversation she had overheard. Benovia thought for a moment and said, "Although I'm a little annoyed at being used, if she did this to get my attention in order to save that mother's child, then I forgive her. However, the fact that she knows my whereabouts so well suggests that I might know her."

After thinking for a moment, Celia finally decided to reveal it: "Based on the traces of her magic, I suspect she's our classmate Sharon. Do you know Sharon?"

“Shalin?” Benovia thought for a moment, then shook her head. “I don’t know her.”

Celia said, "Shalin is the only third-tier mage in our class besides me, the one who sparred with me this morning."

Benovia exclaimed in surprise, "So it was her! She's amazing!"

Celia added, "However, this student usually has a very low profile. If it weren't for Instructor Elena saying that she was already at the third rank, no one in the class would have known that there was a second third-rank mage."

Benovia pondered, "I'll go back and investigate this girl, Shalin. A mage who advanced to the next level so early must have an extraordinary background. Even I didn't know her..."

Celia said, "But I'm just guessing. I haven't confirmed it myself, so I'm not sure if it's her. Don't do anything foolish."

Benovia nodded: "Don't worry, I won't. On the contrary, if the other party is benevolent, I will try to befriend them... Maybe they are a member of the Hiro Society?"

Will Hiro do it?

Celia thought about it and realized that Sharon's behavior was indeed very similar to what Hero would do.

As for whether it is true or not, she doesn't know.

“Even if she isn’t, it’s still worth making friends with her,” Benovia said. “All the third-tier mages in the school will participate in the operation to wipe out the Deep Sea Aid Society, including that classmate, Shalin. We can find out if she is or isn’t by then by getting to know her.”

Celia nodded. "Okay, that's settled then. I'll be going now."

"Let's go have a meal together, Celia, as a way of thanking you."

"I don't need to eat. I have an exam tomorrow and need to go back to prepare."

With that, Celia prepared to leave.

"There's caviar."

Celia retorted, "Having a meal won't affect the exam. Let's go, let's go. I want two servings of caviar."

Chapter 389 Mobilization

The second day of the exam went smoothly.

The second grade ended quietly.

After a few days of rest, all the students were gathered together and divided into two groups.

One group went to explore the ruins, while the other group headed to the Holy Court, preparing to participate in the siege of the Deep Sea Aid Society under the Holy Court's leadership.

Upon arriving at the Holy Court, Celia looked around and saw several hundred third-tier mages from the Holy Magic Academy, most of whom were fifth-year mages, followed by fourth-year mages.

The remaining students are mostly third graders (dozens) and second graders (about ten).

Excluding Celia and her five companions, you could count them on two hands.

The person in charge of this team was not a school tutor, but Melina, the Grand Master of the Holy Court's Order of Lawful Knights.

Below Melina are the various instructors at the school, each in charge of their respective teams.

Naturally, Celia was assigned to a team with Benovia and the others.

And their leader happens to be Elena, Celia's mentor.

Seeing Melina making the call, Celia whispered to Elena, "Mentor Elena, aren't the Principal and the Holy Lord going?"

“The Holy Lord won’t go, but the Headmaster will, though he won’t appear openly. The person in charge publicly this time is Archbishop Melina,” Elena said.

"If no one goes, what if we encounter a group of sixth-tier mages on the other side?" Doris asked.

Elena was both amused and exasperated: "If heretics had so many sixth-tier mages, they might as well just establish a country. Why be a heretic?"

She looked at Melina on the stage and said, "Although you are going with Archbishop Melina to broaden your horizons this time, you are not doing nothing. We have discovered that there are many small outposts around the headquarters of the Deep Sea Mutual Aid Society. Those are your main targets. Your mission is to clear out the outposts, arrest heretics, and rescue civilians."

The girls nodded solemnly.

The mobilization ended quickly, and the tasks were distributed ahead of schedule.

Looking at the bustling temple square, Celia couldn't help but think of a question: "With all this fuss we've made, what if they get wind of it beforehand and run away?"

Elena laughed and said, "It's not that easy to run away. Before we even started, an advance team had already gone there. They've been monitoring that area, and Principal Blake went too."

"I see."

Celia nodded and said nothing more.

The pre-war mobilization proceeded smoothly under the arrangements of Melina and the other bishops.

In the afternoon, with all arrangements finalized, the Knights of the Law led the many students of the Holy Magic Academy to the teleportation device at the Temple of Ember, where they traveled in batches to the nearby city of Leites, also known as the City of Lighthouses.

This city is located in the east of the Ishtar Empire. It is a coastal city and is named Lighthouse City because of the tall lighthouse near the port.

Emerging from the teleportation device, Celia looked up and saw the towering lighthouse, exclaiming, "This lighthouse is so much taller than that lost lighthouse!"

Doris said, "It is indeed very big. If it becomes a ruin, we probably won't be able to get through."

Phil said, "Doris, becoming a ruin is not a good thing. Don't talk nonsense."

Doris curled her lip and said, "Tch."

Elena walked over and said to everyone, "The place we are going to is about 300 kilometers away from Leites City, close to the ocean, but the terrain there is very strange. It is shrouded in pollution all year round. During the Age of Calamity, it was one of the pollution treatment zones of the gods, and pollution from all over the world was moved there."

Anke asked curiously, "Such an obvious place, didn't we realize before that it was a cult stronghold?"

Elena said, "It's a huge place, with a radius of seventy or eighty kilometers. It's not easy to find heretical strongholds inside. We can only set up camps on the outskirts and monitor the movements inside."

Benovia asked, "Is it the legendary Golden Apple Stone Forest?"

Elena glanced at Benovia in surprise and nodded. "Yes, that place is called the Golden Apple Stone Forest. Legend has it that the Moon Goddess, the Goddess of Fate, and the Goddess of Nature fought over the Golden Apple, hence the name Golden Apple Stone Forest. It was once filled with all kinds of destructive magic that lingered for a long time, so the gods used it as a pollution treatment area."

As she spoke, Elena looked up at the other students and said loudly, "Second-year team, come with me. We won't go there today. Let's rest in Leites City first and set off tomorrow morning."

After saying that, she counted the number of people, took the team she was in charge of, boarded the train next to the teleportation device, and traveled all the way to the temple in Leites City, where she stayed at the inn next to the temple.

Celia looked up and saw that all the hotels around the temple had been booked.

Elena led Celia and the others into one of the hotels, where the receptionist was dozing off.

Elena tapped the table, which jolted her awake from her drowsiness. She quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me lately, I keep dozing off. I'll register you right away."

Celia looked at the receptionist and felt that she seemed weak, but her body and mind were normal.

It's probably from staying up late?

Celia muttered to herself, but didn't pay it any mind.

After a quick registration, Elena said, "We originally planned to stay at the temple, but considering that there are many law-enforcing knights on this trip, who are the main force attacking the main camp, the temple will let them rest. We can just stay at a hotel."

No one objected; the hotels around the temple were of a very high standard, and staying one night was no problem.

After putting her things down in the room, Celia found Elena and asked, "Teacher Elena, may I go out for a walk?"

Elena smiled and nodded: "Of course, the overnight stay in Leites City is for you, so you can experience the scenery of other cities before the battle."

Celia exclaimed happily, "Thank you, Instructor Elena!"

Celia planned to visit the Sorcerer's Guild in Leters City to see if they had any special materials, and also to buy some blank scrolls and scroll crafting materials.

She had a feeling that this trial would not end so easily.

The entire area, with a radius of seventy or eighty kilometers, is shrouded in pollution. Fighting inside is not easy, and magic must be used at any time to guard against the pollution invasion.

They will most likely surround the Golden Apple Stone Forest and then conquer it slowly.

They might directly target the main camp on the main battlefield, but the third-tier students will definitely only clear out the peripheral enemies and deal with them slowly.

"The demand for scrolls will definitely be huge then, but I don't know what form the pollution is in, or why it hasn't been purified for so long..."

What products sell best in contaminated areas?

Purification, of course.

Even if it's just temporarily clearing out a small open space, it can give everyone a chance to catch their breath.

"For an area with a radius of seventy or eighty kilometers, the people from the Holy Court and the Academy alone might not be enough. I wonder if there are any mercenaries or anything. If not, we can sell the scroll to other students."

She hasn't had a chance to earn money lately, and has only been spending it. Even with the gold coins she just received, Celia still feels it's not enough.

Holiday trials are a great opportunity to make money.

Celia looked at Ross and asked, "Lord Ross, do you think I could make money if I customized a purification technique specifically for the pollution patterns in the Golden Apple Stone Forest?"

Ross said, "The pollution of the Golden Apple Stone Forest carries the divine power of the three goddesses, and ordinary purification spells are ineffective in purifying it."

Ross glanced at Ethel inside the sealed land.

If I remember correctly, it was that old bastard Ethel who gave them the golden apple, which caused the three goddesses to fight each other.

"Old Deng, who ended up getting the Apple of Gold?" Ross asked.

Nobody got it.

"Where did the golden apple go?"

"do not know."

Chapter 390 How Big is the Area of ​​Celia's Shadow?

Leytes is a coastal city.

The most attractive thing here, besides the lighthouse that stands hundreds of meters tall, is the sea view.

When I was exploring the Lost Lighthouse before, there was also a sea view there.

However, due to her focus on the strategy, the seascape that Celia saw was all inside the Lost Lighthouse. The outer seascape there was not pure, because due to the warp, the distance was hazy and could not be seen clearly.
