Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

"I'm here," Celia asked. "What's wrong?"

"I've run into some trouble and I'd like you to help me..."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"It's hard to explain in the bracelet, so I'll tell you in person: Where are you?"

“I just came out of the temple, I’m outside the temple.”

"Wait for me, I'll be right there!"

Phil spoke in a hurry and abruptly ended the call.

Celia tilted her head in thought, wondering what problem Phil had encountered, so she could only wait where she was.

A moment later, Phil, dressed in a white dress, rushed over, panting. When she saw Celia, her eyes lit up. "Great, Celia, you're still here!"

Celia supported her, speechless, and said, "Slow down, what's the rush? I'm not going to run away."

Phil said, "I want you to come with me somewhere."

"Is it a cult stronghold?" Celia asked, while scrutinizing Phil's attire. It wasn't a portable sorcerer's robe, but rather a formal suit for some grand ceremony.

Ok?

Dress?

An idea popped into Celia's mind.

No way?

Phil quickly replied, "No, it's not a dangerous place. I've just run into a little trouble and I'd like you to help me resolve it."

Celia's expression was strange. "What trouble can't you just say directly? Why are you being so mysterious?"

"Uh, just, just..."

Phil stammered, unable to utter a single word.

Celia couldn't help but take a step back: "Is this a banquet?"

Phil paused for a moment, then asked in surprise, "You knew?"

Celia was speechless: "I just came out of the temple. Bishop Holder was just saying that the city lord of Leites, Duke Pharos, wanted to invite me to a banquet or something, saying he had a friend there. I declined, and then you showed up, all mysteriously. Even a fool could guess what was going on."

Phil lowered his head shyly. "Um, can I go, Celia..."

Celia asked, "Did you call Benovia and the others?"

Phil nodded: "It called."

Celia breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, let's go."

Phil asked in confusion, "Do we need to call someone else to go?"

Celia nodded: "Of course, don't call anyone else, just me, I'm scared."

"What are you afraid of?" Phil blinked.

Of course, I'm afraid you'll become like Doris.

Celia muttered to herself.

If everyone is invited, then it's not considered a special invitation.

When everyone sits at the same table, it won't be awkward.

Just as Celia was about to go with Phil, Ross's voice echoed in her mind: "It's Phil's birthday today. Are you going empty-handed?"

"what?!"

Celia paused, then turned to Phil and said, "Phil, you go first. I forgot something, I'll go back and get it."

Without waiting for Phil to reply, he hurriedly left.

Once they were out of the way, Celia patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, it would have been bad if I had gone empty-handed."

Ross chuckled, "What are you planning to give as a gift?"

"do not know."

Celia frowned in thought.

For her birthday last time, Phil gave her a Pure Heart, which symbolizes the most beautiful thing.

This time, should we also send a pure heart?

Obviously not.

Celia pondered for a long time, still unable to think of what to give.

Ross said, "Give her the purification crystal."

"What is a purification crystal?" Celia asked curiously.

“A crystal carved from high-grade magic crystal can purify the demonic energy in the body and absorb divine power. She needs this most right now.”

"But I don't know how to carve..."

"I can."

"Uh……"

"Go to the Sorcerer's Guild and rent a room."

"it is good."

Celia quickly took care of it; her status as a third-tier mage allowed her to soon have a private room filled with a large amount of auxiliary materials and carving tools.

Ross summons Celia's puppet and takes over Celia's control of it.

Celia possesses high-level magic crystals, but she hasn't used the high-level magic crystals she received from Jonathan.

This item is mainly for the purpose of being prepared for any eventuality; under normal circumstances, low-level and mid-level magic crystals are used.

Ross manipulated the puppet to examine the advanced magic crystal carving, then picked up a carving knife and began carving rapidly.

Ten minutes later, a completely transformed crystal appeared.

Ross sculpted the high-grade magic crystal into the shape of a four-pointed star, with faint rune patterns visible, which were drawn in using excess magic crystal powder.

Celia picked it up and examined it for a moment. Even though she was an expert in runes, she couldn't understand the dense, intricate runes. She could only understand the part about purifying pollution, and the rest was completely incomprehensible.

"The runes carved by Lord Ross are even smaller than those on all the puppets and bracelets. I wonder when I'll be able to have that ability," the girl said with a hint of envy.

Ross smiled slightly: "Becoming a god is enough."

Celia: "..."

After finishing, Celia bought a box to put it away. The four-pointed star purification crystal was made into a pendant. Each point was about the size of a little finger. It was not cold to the touch, but rather warm. It also had no sharp edges, so it wouldn't cut the skin.

“Are you really going to give it to Phil in my name?” Celia asked Ross.

Ross asked in surprise, "If not in your name, then in mine?"

Celia made a face, put the four-pointed star pendant into the box, left the Sorcerer's Guild, and headed towards the city lord's castle.

"Speaking of which, why did Phil hold her birthday party at the city lord's mansion?" Celia tilted her head in thought.

"What do you think?"

"...It can't be that much of a coincidence, can it?"

Ross remained silent, staring intently at Celia.

“Okay, Phil’s surname seems to be Pharos, and the lord of Leites City is Duke Pharos. I was stupid.”

Celia had only just realized Phil's surname; like Benovia, she was a noblewoman.

Benovia was completely mysterious, and Phil knew that the surname was Pharos, so it was still easy to figure out who she was.

However, Celia hadn't thought of it that way at first. She was busy preparing a gift for Phil, and only now that the gift was ready did she realize that their relationship was unusual.

"No wonder Phil was dressed like a princess earlier, all beautiful."

As the sun gradually set, Celia arrived outside the city lord's castle.

The guards at the entrance didn't stop her and let her in directly.

Celia glanced back at the guards and saw them stopping people from entering until they produced something that looked like an invitation.

"I didn't have an invitation, so why didn't they stop me? Did Phil specifically tell me to?"

Ross chuckled, "What if you're one of the main characters tonight?"

Celia shook her head: "Forget it, Phil should be the star tonight."

She thought of the aquatic parasite she had encountered during the day.

"I hope nothing bad happens."

Chapter 412 Banquet

This was the first time Celia had ever entered the complete lord's castle.

The last city lord's castle we entered was the Southern City Castle, but unfortunately it was destroyed before we could even get inside. When we finally went in, it was already in ruins, and we even went to their warehouse to take some things.

Celia looked up at the magnificent castle and couldn't help but exclaim, "How spectacular!"

"Duke Pharos's castle is indeed magnificent. It was built at the request of the Holy Court to express our gratitude to Duke Pharos for his contributions."

Benovia's voice came from behind her. Celia turned around and saw Benovia slowly walking over with a smile on her face, wearing a formal dress.

Celia looked down at herself.

Fortunately, since she came to Leites City for fun, she had specially worn a beautiful long dress at the beginning. Although it couldn't compare to other people's gowns... Celia believed that her appearance made up for the shortcomings of her clothes!

Celia is never insecure!

"Is Duke Pharos Phil's father?" Celia asked.

Benovia nodded: "Yes, it just so happens that Phil's birthday is coming up soon, and she's nearby this year, so Duke Pharos insisted on throwing her a birthday party."

Celia muttered, "Bishop Holder actually lied to me and said it was a victory celebration prepared for me. How despicable!"

"What kind of celebration banquet?" Benovia asked curiously.

Celia briefly told Benovia about the sea monster she had encountered on the beach that afternoon. Benovia pondered for a moment and said, "Besides notifying the Temple of Leites, we should also inform Archbishop Melina and the others. Perhaps this aquatic parasite got lost because it was on the outskirts and came here. The deep-sea behemoth's target might be the Golden Apple Stone Forest."

"makes sense."

Celia looked down, opened her bracelet, and sent a message to Melina, telling her about the aquatic parasite and Benovia's speculation.

Melina quickly replied, "Received."

Celia stopped paying attention to the matter and asked the know-it-all Benovia curiously, "Does Benovia know what important things Duke Pharos has done?"

Benovia said, "The most important thing is to clear out all the threatening monsters within a 300-kilometer radius of Leytes City, making Leytes City an important port, bringing commercial prosperity to Leytes City, and making it known as the beacon of Ishtar."

Benovia looked towards the lighthouse in the direction of the sea, from which she could still vaguely see: "For this purpose, the Holy Court specially built a huge lighthouse to solidify the title of Duke Pharos's Lighthouse. Today, this lighthouse has become the symbol of the city of Leites."

Celia suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."

Smoothing the seas and creating a safe shipping route for the entire city has greatly contributed to its prosperity. He deserves a statue or something.

"Alright, we've arrived at the banquet hall. The banquet hasn't started yet, let's go grab something to eat first."

Benovia beckoned to Celia and led her into the castle's banquet hall.

At this moment, the banquet hall was filled with people, each dressed in an elegant and luxurious gown, holding crystal glasses and gathered in twos and threes, talking about something, occasionally letting out a soft laugh.

Some of these people are older, but most are young.

Anyway, Celia didn't know any of them.

The two's appearance also attracted the attention of the people inside, but they didn't seem to know either Celia or Benovia, so they glanced at them and then stopped paying attention, continuing to talk quietly in their own little circles.

"These must be nobles from the city of Leites, right?" Celia thought to herself. "Or maybe wealthy merchants or something."

All the nobles possess magical fluctuations, but almost all of them are below the third rank.

I can't tell if it's level four or higher from Celia, I don't know.

As a genius sorceress, Celia felt no inferiority in the face of these nobles and wealthy merchants; on the contrary, she was very confident.

The two searched the banquet hall for a while and soon found Phil surrounded by many young men and women.
