Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

Phil's heart skipped a beat, and he looked flustered.

The familiar black robe and the subtle aura it exuded immediately made her think of a possibility.

Phil walked over quickly, extremely nervous: "Y-hello?"

Ross turned around, exuding the same sense of mystery over Phil.

"Is this how you greet the gods?"

Phil's heart tightened, and he quickly said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I..."

Ross raised his hand to stop Phil from speaking further: "Shut up and stand still."

Phil stood still obediently.

Ross reached out and slid his hand through the air, and a complex pattern appeared in the air.

After a long time, the pattern was completed and entered Phil's body.

Phil felt the restlessness within him subside and couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"

"A simple spell can block three fatal attacks for you."

Phil sensed that the mysterious rune's effects were more than that, but she was more concerned about something else.

Ross made a special appearance on her birthday to draw mysterious runes for her...

A look of excitement appeared on the girl's face: "Luo... did the deity come to give me a birthday present?"

However, before he could finish speaking, Ross's figure slowly faded away; he was gone.

Phil touched his body, but felt nothing. He looked around and, finding no one nearby, reached out and pulled open the collar of his shirt at his collarbone to look inside. He didn't see any patterns.

The runes that Ross drew disappeared after entering her body, leaving no trace.

This relieved Phil.

"Legend has it that Lord Ross controls the Abyss and can control its corruption. Even if he blesses me, because of the corruption on my body, others probably won't notice..."

Phil thought about it and then returned to the banquet hall.

My original intention to relax has vanished.

Upon arriving at the banquet hall, many nobles had already begun their ball.

Phil declined numerous dance invitations from young nobles, found Duke Pharos, and said directly, "Father, it's almost time, I have to go."

Duke Pharos nodded, not stopping him: "Well, it's good that you're leaving. Your friend Celia found a mysterious, contaminated fragment in the garden behind the castle. It seems to be part of a magic circle. They're searching around there now. Go and find them."

Phil exclaimed in surprise, "A magic circle node? Who would dare to place one inside the castle?"

Duke Pharos said, "I don't know. I will find out and I will not tolerate it."

Phil wasn't good at investigating these kinds of things, and seeing that his father seemed to have an idea, he decided not to get involved and said goodbye to him.

Following Duke Pharos's directions, Phil arrived at the back garden and found Celia and her three companions in the pavilion used for resting.

When Celia saw Phil approaching, she waved to her: "Phil, over here."

After Phil came over and sat down, Celia took out a box containing purification crystals and handed it to him.

"Happy birthday, Phil. I came in a hurry and didn't know what to give you, so I'll give you a purification crystal. You've been purifying people's pollution for a long time, but the pollution on your body has been lingering. This can help stabilize the pollution on you."

As she spoke, Celia winked playfully, "This purification crystal has been blessed by the gods, so remember to wear it at all times!"

"Thank you." Phil happily accepted the gift, opened the gift box, and immediately put on the purification crystal.

Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly felt mysterious runes appear in her body. These runes were activated by the mysterious power (divine power) remaining in her body and resonated with the purification crystal she was wearing.

She was stunned for a moment, and only realized what was happening when the other girls also took out their gifts.

She felt her heart start racing.

Why does Celia's gift resonate with the runes drawn by the evil god?

she says……

Is this gift blessed by the gods?

Could it be that……

Phil suddenly remembered the suggestion Celia made last year when she was over-inhaling pollution during the raid on the lighthouse.

She said she should pray to the evil god Ross.

Phil knew very well that because of Celia's suggestion, she then... incidentally prayed to Ross in her mind for a fleeting moment.

At the time, she didn't have any particular thoughts, she just felt it was a little exciting, and then she suppressed those thoughts.

As it turned out, Ross actually showed up and even treated her.

Phil always thought it was his problem.

It was because I was bored and secretly prayed in my mind that I was targeted by the evil god.

but now……

The girl couldn't help but steal a glance at Celia, thinking to herself: Could it be... that Lord Ross has been eyeing Celia all along?

Celia was unaware that her casual remark had allowed Phil to see through the truth; she was only puzzled as to why Phil would steal glances at her every now and then while speaking.

After presenting the gifts and chatting for a while, Phil had some snacks brought to them.

After they ate something simple, Celia prepared to go back. Seeing this, the others also got up. Finally, Phil said, "I don't know what to do here if you leave. Why don't we go back together?"

Celia said, "I'm not going back to the Golden Apple Stone Forest camp for now; I want to explore the city of Leites some more."

She had just gone to explain the mysterious fragment she had discovered to Duke Pharos and handed it over to him, but Celia still felt a little uneasy.

She didn't think the Deep Sea Aid Association would just set up a magic circle to attract deep-sea monsters and then do nothing else.

Celia didn't know what their purpose was.

The best way is to destroy the magic circle and see what the Deep Sea Aid Association has to say.

Even with their main base under attack, they still have the resources to plan for Leites City. Celia needs to know what they're up to before she can feel at ease.

Chapter 415 Today the Saintess is a Cat Girl

"Lord Ross, is there any way to persuade them to go back first?"

Celia stared longingly at Ross, who was all smiles.

At this time, she and Benovia and the others had already left the castle and were wandering around the city of Leites.

She said she wouldn't go back and that others should go back, but the others seemed to know what she was going to do and refused to go back no matter what she said.

In the end, none of the five of them went back; they just wandered around the streets together.

To avoid drawing too much attention when they acted together, they all disguised themselves. Except for Celia, the others wore large sorcerer robes, covering their figures in black sorcerer robes, and also wore hoods.

Celia chose to pray to the gods.

However, Ross offered no guidance whatsoever, simply watching with a smile and saying, "I think it's fine. How can one person's strength compare to that of five? To investigate a magic array, it's naturally better for five people to investigate together."

Celia: "..."

Since Ross had already said so, Celia could only reluctantly agree.

Just ...

Celia looked at the other four people in their black robes, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

"Don't you think this outfit is actually the most suspicious thing?"

Benovia said, "If Celia puts it on too, no one will suspect anything."

Celia firmly refused: "No way! If I'm going to wear something, it should be white. Who suggested black?"

Phil timidly raised his hand: "Me."

"Why did you think of wearing a black sorcerer's robe?"

"Black is more suitable for nighttime operations..."

Phil certainly wouldn't say that he specifically looked for the same style of clothing because he thought of the black robe Ross was wearing.

Just as Celia was about to say something, a voice came from the side: "You guys over there, stop right now and take off your hats."

Celia looked up and saw a group of guards approaching.

They were very vigilant and did not approach. They kept a distance, their weapons already imbued with magic, ready to fight at any moment.

Phil pulled down his hood: "It's me."

"Miss Phil?"

The guards were startled, then relaxed, and all the magic they had gathered was withdrawn.

The captain of the guard saluted and said respectfully, "Excuse me, Miss Phil, His Majesty the Duke has ordered us to increase our patrols."

"It's alright, it's alright, you guys go ahead with your work," Phil waved his hand.

"Ok."

As the guards left, Celia pouted and said, "See? The side effect of the black robes. Your father knows that the heretics have set up a magic circle in Leites City, so he will definitely increase patrols and investigate the magic circle. Your clothes are more eye-catching than if you were naked."

Phil, embarrassed, took off the black robe: "Then I think I'll just leave it on."

Upon seeing this, the others quickly took off their black robes.

Benovia said, "If we can't wear black, then let's wear white."

She took out five identical sorcerer robes, all white with orange trim, and the hoods had two horns, making her look like a catgirl.

The white robe was more acceptable to Celia than the black robe, so she took it and put it on.

Celia conjured an ice crystal mirror and examined herself closely, discovering that the white mage's robe looked quite adorable with the cat hood on.

Anke asked in confusion, "Why do you carry so many ordinary mage robes with you?"

Benovia laughed and said, "Of course, everyone should wear them together, that's what makes it feel right."

It turned out to be premeditated.

Celia thought to herself.

“There’s no difference between acting together and acting alone. If the goal is to find out the heretics’ plans in Leites City, I think we should split up.”

The others nodded in agreement.

Celia continued, "Here's what we'll do. I'll give you the points I derived. Go and look around that area. The nodes of the magic circle are usually fragments of an unknown material with very faint traces of contamination. You need to be very careful to detect them."

After saying that, Celia hesitated for a moment and shook her head: "Why don't we act together? It's too dangerous to act alone. I'm worried that you won't be able to handle it."

Doris retorted, "Celia, do you think we're a burden? Hmph, while you're improving, we're improving too. You might not be able to beat me!"

Celia didn't answer, she just rolled her eyes.

Benovia blinked and said, "Celia often says that we are blessed by the gods. We are also preparing to become saintesses, and we are also blessed by the gods."

Celia sensed a hidden meaning in Benovia's words, but she pretended not to hear and said, "Since you're so confident, let's split up and act separately."

Celia took out the map of Leites City she had bought during the day and circled four places.

“This area is near the temple and castle. Phil, go ahead. You can go anywhere else.”

“Yes, Captain!” Benovia replied.

“Doris is the captain,” Celia emphasized.

Doris stared at her without saying a word.

In the end, he acted alone.

Celia arrived near the lighthouse.

“Generally speaking, the area around a landmark building is a key area. This may be the core of the magic circle, and we are sure to find some clues here.”

Ross's phantom appeared beside her and said, "Then you'll have to go inside the lighthouse; you probably won't find anything outside."

"Enter the lighthouse..."

Celia looked up at the lighthouse, which was hundreds of meters tall.

"Ordinary people probably aren't allowed in, right?"
