“Archbishop Melina has something to say. Come out and listen to it before doing anything else,” Elena said.

Arriving at the open space in the middle of the camp, Melina floated in the air, looking at the people who were coming one after another.

Especially the students from the Holy Magic Academy who participated in the operation.

Once everyone had arrived, she said, "This operation is extremely dangerous. This is the last chance. Before you leave tomorrow, you can submit an application to your advisor stating that you cannot participate and can return home. The school will not punish you."

Hearing this, Celia thought to herself that there would be no punishment, only that her holiday trial score would be reset to zero.

However, the operation to exterminate heretics is far more dangerous than exploring ruins, especially in a polluted area. Inexperience or carelessness could easily lead to death.

Melina continued, "The Golden Apple Stone Forest is a special landform. Legend has it that it was created by three goddesses fighting over a golden apple. The legend is unverifiable. Before the Age of Calamity, the Golden Apple Stone Forest was a special area filled with chaotic magic."

"After the Age of Calamity, in addition to chaotic magic, there is also an inescapable pollution. This pollution, combined with the chaotic magic, has turned the Golden Apple Stone Forest into an extremely dangerous area. You must remember the rules I am about to tell you, or you will die in the Golden Apple Stone Forest."

Melina looked at the group of students and slowly said:

"First, the use of purification techniques is strictly prohibited."

Celia was taken aback.

what?

Chapter 392 Celia Wants to Research Chaos Pollution

"First, the use of purification techniques is strictly prohibited."

As soon as these words were spoken, the students of the Holy Magic Academy immediately began to discuss them, expressing their surprise.

Only the members of the Knights of the Law remained calm, seemingly unsurprised by the situation.

Everyone was speaking very softly, but when they combined, it became very noisy.

Melina's voice rang in everyone's ears: "Quiet!"

The noise gradually subsided.

Melina continued, "The pollution of the Age of Calamity is different from the pollution of today. It was a pollution that even the gods found troublesome. When it mixes with chaotic magic, it reacts violently to purification spells. Using purification spells will cause the pollution to surge violently, and the chaotic magic within will boil. If you don't have the ability to resist chaotic magic, don't try it."

After explaining, Melina continued:

"Second, do not absorb the magic power within the Golden Apple Stone Forest. That chaotic magic power contains a mysterious energy that will destroy the magic power within your body if it enters. Even if you are cured, you will become an ordinary person. Do not try it."

Ross's voice rang in Celia's ears: "That mysterious energy is divine power. The chaotic magic in the Golden Apple Stone Forest is caused by residual divine power. Absorbing it will cause you to drop a level, which is the problem that occurred after your best friend took revenge."

Celia suddenly realized.

"

"Fourth, in principle, no action is allowed at night. Nighttime will cause many lurking monsters to appear. Regardless of whether the stronghold has been taken down, it is best to return in the evening."

"fifth……"

Melina gave many points to note.

However, apart from the first three items, the rest are all matters that are 'not allowed in principle', and only the first three items must be paid attention to.

After talking for a long time, Melina finally waved to dismiss the group.

Leaving the crowd, Celia found Elena.

"Master Elena, I'd like to ask if it's possible to collect those polluted and chaotic magic energies?"

Elena was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Does Celia want to study chaotic magic?"

Celia nodded.

“I’m not sure. Let me take you to Archbishop Melina to ask.”

"Ok!"

Follow Elena to a spot in the camp and find Melina, who is currently giving an additional speech to the Knights of the Law.

After a long wait, Elena led Celia up after Melina finished speaking.

"Excuse me, Archbishop Melina, Celia has something to ask you."

Melina turned around and saw Celia behind Elena. She smiled and said, "What is it? Go ahead and say it."

Of the five candidates for sainthood, Celia was the most suitable.

After all, Melina's Order of the Lawful Knights was specifically established to target heretics, while Celia was constantly fighting against heretics and frequently destroying their strongholds, making her more efficient than the Order of the Lawful Knights.

If it weren't for the Holy Lord's disapproval, she would have wanted to send Celia to the Order of the Law Enforcers for 'training'.

Celia stepped forward and asked directly, "Archbishop Melina, I would like to ask if the chaotic magic and pollution of the Golden Apple Stone Forest can be collected? I would like to collect some for research."

Melina said, "Collecting is possible. The Holy Court has been collecting and researching for many years, but unfortunately, they haven't found anything. Your rank is low, and the mysterious power within the chaotic magic will have a great impact on you. Don't try to research it unless necessary."

Celia asked curiously, "So you've been researching this all along. Do you have any ready-made samples? I'd like to see them. Nothing more, just want to see for myself..."

Just as Melina was about to refuse, a voice came from the side.

"Oh, it's Celia! Haha, great! I'll take you to see her."

Everyone looked up and saw that it was Principal Blake.

Melina frowned, speechless. "Bishop Black, do you know what you're saying? Chaotic magic is so dangerous, how can you let Celia get close?"

Blake chuckled and said, "As long as it's not ingested, what's there to avoid? Tomorrow when they enter the Golden Apple Stone Forest, won't they also be approaching the chaotic magic?"

Melina said, “Observing is different from passing by. Bishop Black, as you know, there were people in the Holy See who observed that mysterious power, but for some reason, they absorbed the mysterious power into their bodies, causing them to lose their power. And it wasn’t an isolated case.”

Blake said, "It's alright, we'll just watch. Celia is a saintess protected by the gods; what if she really does discover something?"

Melina shook her head speechlessly: "Fine, come with me."

Melina knew Blake's personality; he loved adventure, was willing to give people opportunities to try, and always hoped for miracles to happen.

However, over the years, only a few have succeeded.

Most of the attempts were in vain, and there were even quite a few projects that fraudulently obtained funding.

Nevertheless, Blake was still happy to give people opportunities.

Melina didn't understand, but she thought it wouldn't hurt to take a look. Celia might be the future saintess, so she decided to take her to see her.

Led by Melina, the group arrived at the back of the camp, inside a huge building.

"This is where chaotic magic and pollution are studied. Only mages of the fourth rank or above can enter. If you want to go in, you need the permission of the person in charge, Bishop Shuen."

As she entered the hall, an old man with a white beard came out and frowned as he looked at Celia.

Melina introduced, "This is Bishop Hugh."

She looked at Shuen, “Bishop Shuen, she just wants to see the chaos and special pollution of Celia.”

Xiu En said, "I've heard about your experiences. You've done a lot, including resolving the Abyss Gate issue in the Northern Alliance. However, the situation here is different from the Abyss. You'd better just take a look."

With that, he turned and walked inside, saying, "Come with me."

Celia said, "Thank you, Grandpa Shuen."

Xiu En didn't speak, his face remained expressionless, but his expression softened a little, as if he was quite pleased.

The room where the chaotic magic was stored was not on the ground, but deep underground. It took a long time to get there by taking a downward 'elevator'.

Xiu En said, "When chaotic magic and pollution are together, they will go berserk and extremely aggressive if they are triggered by purification spells. Therefore, research is conducted deep underground to avoid affecting the outside world."

"Our research focuses on solving pollution and calming magic, but with little success. However, our research on capturing chaotic magic and mysterious forces has matured."

Blake asked, "Can we make use of it?"

"No."

"Isn't that the same as not having done any research at all?"

Xiu En turned around and pointed outside: "You can leave if you don't like it."

Blake chuckled and said, "The old man was trying to kick me out. If I hadn't stopped him, the Holy Lord would have demolished your research institute long ago."

"It's good that it's been demolished. I've long since stopped wanting to study this disgusting thing."

Listening to the two bickering, the group slowly arrived at the place where chaotic magic and pollution were stored.

Chapter 393 Can't use purification spells in a fight? We'll find a way to use them!

Inside a spacious room, constructed entirely of metal, the metal was covered with dense array runes.

Celia could tell that these runes were explosion-proof runes, designed to prevent external explosions from affecting the interior.

Of course, this is to prevent the contents inside from exploding and affecting the outside world.

In the center of the enormous room, at the core of the magic circle, inside a transparent, sealed glass enclosure slightly taller than Celia, grayish-black pollution was surging.

There were also many instruments in the room whose names I didn't know, and many people were looking at the data projected onto the light screen by the instruments.

Xiu En said, "This is Test Ground Number One, where we test why the purification spell causes the chaotic magic and pollution to become so rampant."

Celia stepped forward to examine it, sensing the frenzied magic emanating from within.

Besides being explosion-proof, this magic circle continuously inputs purification spells, keeping the chaotic magic and pollution inside in a state of constant frenzy.

Celia felt something was off, as if she were being subjected to some kind of human experimentation.

After they finished looking at it, Xiu En led them to another room.

"This is Test Ground Two, where we test the separation of chaotic magic, mystical power, and pollution."

Then there's the third room, where there's an extra small monster, locked up in a transparent, sealed cage.

"This is Test Site No. 3, where we study the differences in how mysterious forces erode and pollute living organisms."

The fourth, the fifth...

Upon arriving at the fifth testing ground, Celia couldn't help but say, "Grandpa Shuen, I'm not here to tour the testing grounds. I want to experience the unprocessed chaos and pollution. Do you have any?"

Xiu En frowned. "Why are you looking at that?"

Celia sighed, "I came to see that, Grandpa Shuen."

Blake laughed and said, "Let her see, who knows what kind of surprise she might come up with."

Melina said, "Chilia, stop looking. The chaos and pollution before separation are not much different from what you've seen before."

Celia said seriously, "The difference is huge. Special pollution and chaotic magic and mysterious power only exist in the Golden Apple Stone Forest when they are mixed. Separating them and studying them separately may be the wrong direction and will not yield any results."

As Celia spoke, Shuen's expression turned displeased. Melina said, "Bishop Shuen has been studying this place for a long time and has tried all sorts of methods. The reason he chose to separate must be because other methods failed."

Xiu En's expression softened somewhat.

Although the specific details differed slightly from what Melina described, the differences were not significant.

Xiu En said, "Since you want to see, then go ahead and look. Once you're done, go back. You're not a researcher, so don't come in here unless you have to."

"Ok."

Soon, the group arrived at a room that had nothing but a protective magic array.

There was also a trapped mass of chaotic pollution here, and there were even many magic circles on the glass that trapped it.

Celia stepped forward, intending to reach out her hand, but hesitated and did not do so.

She gazed at the pollution within, her mage hand already subtly penetrating it, carefully sensing the pollution and chaotic magic, as well as the 'mysterious power' she often encountered.

“The ‘mysterious power’ they were talking about is indeed the ‘divine power’ that Lord Ross spoke of,” Celia said to Ross.

Ross nodded. "It's divine power. Divine power, demonic energy, and demonic energy. When divine power stirred up the demonic energy, it mixed together and became what it is now. It has almost no weaknesses and is difficult to purify."

"So there's no way to cleanse it with a purification spell."

Celia said disappointedly.

Originally, they weren't giving up and wanted to create a special purification technique to cleanse the pollution and make it easier for everyone to move around.

First, Melina said that purification magic couldn't be used, and then Ross asserted that this thing was difficult to purify.

Their plan backfired.

It’s so uncomfortable!

Of course, the general-purpose scroll ink is not only used to draw purification spells; it can be used to draw most spell scrolls.
