Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

While saying he was listening, he was actually meditating quietly.

You can meditate with your eyes open, but it's not as efficient as meditating with your eyes closed.

The discussion lasted for about two hours, and a plan seemed to be agreed upon.

After listening to Melina's conclusion, Celia found that apart from the tactical deployment, the strategy was no different from what Ross had said.

So what exactly was discussed during those two hours?

The girl thought to herself.

After giving the tactical instructions, Melina looked at Celia.

“Celia, we’ve decided to take action in two weeks. In the meantime, let’s clean up all the outposts on the perimeter. We’ll also need your help with drawing up the domain scrolls with the sorcerers.”

Celia readily agreed, "Okay, okay."

With help, she could easily turn it into an 'assembly line,' with her in charge of the final, crucial part.

The success rate will drop significantly, but efficiency and quantity will increase.

Celia stood up, ready to leave, but Melina said, "After discussing it, we think it's most suitable for you to do this kind of infiltration."

A question mark slowly appeared above Celia's head.

"?"

If you want me dead, just say so. No need to beat around the bush, thank you.

Chapter 434 Customized Puppet

Melina knew that Celia had been slacking off during the meeting, so after the meeting, she took Celia to a private room and told her why.

"The original plan was for either me or Blake to infiltrate, but if either of us is absent from the main battlefield, it will definitely alert the Deep Sea."

"Really?" Celia felt that she wasn't telling the truth.

"Okay, the truth is, Blake doesn't understand magic circles, so there's nothing he can do."

Melina never mentioned things she didn't really understand.

Celia said, "You don't need to understand it, as long as you can steal the key to the magic circle."

As she spoke, Celia slapped her forehead: "Okay, it is indeed a bit difficult. What about the fourth and fifth-tier big shots? Can't they do it either? For example, Bishop Alvis."

“Alvis isn’t here. He has more important work to do. Duke Pharos invited him to rebuild the protective array of Leites City, and the appointment is scheduled for a month from now.”

"What about the rest?"

Melina shook her head. "During this time, besides the attack, we conducted a comprehensive investigation of the deep-sea fortress. We even sent fourth- and fifth-tier mages in, but as soon as they entered the fortress, they triggered an alarm throughout the entire fortress. They added high-level mage monitoring to the fortress's protective array, keeping it running all day. Any high-level mage passing through will trigger an alarm."

"Can't you do it at a lower level?"

"I don't know, but we also sent quite a few low-level mages to try to go deep inside. They didn't trigger any alarms. However, the defenses inside are very tight, and it wouldn't be of much use for third-level mages to go in."

Melina looked at Celia, "But Celia is different. News came from the city of Leites that you killed a fourth-tier heretic on your own, and a normal fourth-tier mage at that. This is something that ordinary mages cannot do."

"Furthermore, you are also proficient in magic arrays, even Bishop Alvis had to shut up. In the fortress full of runes, you can spot traps at any time without worrying about being discovered. However..."

Melina shook her head.

“Infiltration is too dangerous. Half of the people oppose letting you infiltrate. Even if we can pretend to attack and make all the heretics run out, we can’t guarantee that there aren’t any fourth or fifth-level heretics hiding inside.”

Celia said, "How come there are so many high-ranking heretics in one cult?"

"After all, they are an organization that has been active since the Age of Calamity. Their leader, like the Holy Lord, is a newly emerging sorcerer who emerged after the Calamity. For hundreds of years, they have been active in various places, gathering hidden genius sorcerers and converting them into heretics in various ways."

"The power of pollution can cause various abnormalities in people and even reduce their lifespan significantly, but it can also rapidly increase a person's strength in a short period of time, unlike the gradual improvement we need to make step by step."

Celia pondered a question: "Speaking of heretics who rise through corruption, don't they need to ascend to higher ranks?"

Melina smiled slightly: "Of course not. The Ascension Stairs are only for sorcerers. They have always used corruption as their power, so the Ascension Stairs have long disappeared. Or rather, their test is the 'Ascension Stairs' upside down. We go up, they go down. We have the test of ascending the stairs, while they only need to jump lightly."

Celia suddenly realized, "No wonder I always see so many powerful heretics in heretical strongholds."

"But they have the power of their rank, but no spells to unleash it. Their actual combat strength is reduced by one rank. However, this excludes ranks four and above. Rank four and above cannot be mass-produced quickly. The mass production of rank four in the Deep Sea these past few days is the first time we've seen it. But these rank fours have serious drawbacks and cannot function properly. Even Celia can easily purify them."

Celia nodded.

“Our plan is to lure out all the heretics in the fortress, then you infiltrate them, search for the access key you mentioned, and if you succeed or encounter danger, use the teleportation badge to return.”

"Can the teleportation badge be used?"

“Generally speaking, it’s not possible, but we’ve discovered that the Protoss network can be used inside the fortress. You can send us a message, and we’ll attack the fortress’s magic array with all our might to open up the sealed space, and then it will be usable.”

Celia thought for a moment, then suddenly thought of someone: "Yesterday I saw the Holy Lord come to Leites City. Didn't he come to check on things? If it's the Holy Lord, he should be able to ignore the warning, right?"

Melina said, "The Holy Lord is elusive. We don't know where he is now. He didn't come here. He just sent us a message to ask about the progress."

Celia thought for a moment. After the Holy Lord appeared yesterday, he immediately went to pursue the two suspicious heretics she had reported, and then disappeared.

Celia didn't know where he went, only that he left in a hurry, as if he was in a rush.

She thought the Holy Lord was coming to the Golden Apple Stone Forest, but it turned out he wasn't.

Come to think of it, I seem to have forgotten to convey Duke Pharos's message to the Holy Lord...

"Let me think about it," Celia said.

Melina nodded: "Okay, no rush. Let's prepare first and sweep through the outer strongholds."

……

After returning from Melina's place, Celia fell into deep thought.

Having a teleportation badge wouldn't be a problem, but not having a puppet is a big issue.

Although her combat power won't be weakened as much as other sorcerers, it will still be weakened to some extent. Without the puppet, Celia feels that there is a 90% chance she can't beat a fourth-tier heretic.

"So, still..."

knock knock --

A knock suddenly sounded at the door. Celia went to open it and found it was Elena.

"Celia, your magic puppet was damaged in the defense of Leites City. We've contacted the League Committee for you, and they've agreed to customize a new one for you right now. Would you like to start the customization process now?"

Celia was taken aback: "Now? Aren't the custom-made golems for the league fourth-tier?"

Elena said, "Yes, but the rank is not absolute. Also, the rank of the puppet can be temporarily sealed to match your strength. If you want to customize it, the league committee will come over this afternoon to ask you to provide your requirements. It is expected that the puppet will be delivered in about 10 days."

"So fast?" Celia exclaimed in surprise. "When did the Northern Alliance become so efficient?"

Elena said irritably, "The League Committee is not exclusive to the Northern Alliance. It is a union of all empires on the Starfall Continent. It is just that the committee is authorized to the empire in which the event is held. The committee's role is to supervise and award prizes. Referees, venue construction, and so on are all handled by the respective empires themselves."

"Oh, I see. Let them come then."

"it is good,"

Asking about custom-made puppets at this time...

Celia probably guessed that it was Melina or Blake who made the move.

Feeling uneasy without the puppet, Celia agreed without hesitation.

She took out the two puppet hearts, feeling conflicted.

Should we use water-based or life-based magic?

Chapter 435 Celia Wants to Be Kicked

In the afternoon, representatives from the league committee came from Leicester City to consult with Celia about her requirements and the materials she needed.

After the other party left, Celia went to the scroll-making workshop that the Order of the Lawful Knights had built especially for her.

Spellcasters from all over the Holy Court are on high alert.

Although they are called sorcerers, most sorcerers are proficient in scrolls, and only a small number are proficient in sorcery.

However, spells and scrolls have something in common, which is why they were combined.

They all use runes to cast spells.

Spells are magic spells inscribed with incantations, and scrolls are inscribed with the incantations of magic spells.

Before Celia arrived, the Order of the Lawful Knights had already notified the sorcerers in advance, asking them to come and wait.

When Celia entered, she saw a total of ten sorcerers already waiting at the workbench inside. Her appearance attracted everyone's attention.

An older man stood up. "You're the Miss Celia that Archbishop Melina mentioned, the one with the extraordinary talent for scrolls?"

Celia corrected, "It's not a talent for scrolls, it's a genius for magic circles, scrolls, magical machinery, and ice magic."

All the sorcerers immediately sat up straight.

What a loud tone!

Many people immediately showed their dissatisfaction.

Every sorcerer who can be employed by the Holy Court is an outstanding individual, having immersed themselves in the art of scrolls for at least ten years.

And what about Celia? Has she been learning scrolls for three years?

Celia noticed their expressions, but her face remained unchanged as she silently cheered them on.

"Quickly! Rebut me and then report me to Bishop Melina!"

"Or we could just leave!"

"It would be best to file a complaint, then you can kick me out and do it yourselves!"

Celia had no desire to be a 'production line' worker in the scroll factory; it was too tiring, even though it brought in a lot of gold coins.

Actually, she wouldn't have minded making it for the Order of the Lawful Knights.

But she later discovered that the Knights of the Law were really not economical when using them, and even gave them to mercenaries for free, allowing outside mercenaries to go deep into the stronghold and risk their lives.

This made her even more unhappy.

It's not just a waste of scrolls.

None of those mercenaries possessed any holy magic, and they could easily be corrupted by the chaos.

Why bring them here to join in the fun?

That's a dangerous place.

Even genius students from prestigious magic academies suffer injuries and deaths, let alone mercenaries of varying quality.

So Celia had no desire to make it at all.

The Domain Scroll was not a necessity for the Knights of the Law. She originally just wanted to provide some protection for the students at the school so that they could deal with emergencies, rather than using it as a core tool for sweeping.

Of course, if someone else makes it and she doesn't have to worry about it, then there's no problem.

Celia had said the same thing to Melina, and was willing to share all the questions about the Wind Field Combination Scroll with the sorcerers.

But Melina refused, feeling that no one else could do it without her.

To this, Celia rolled her eyes: "Do you think I'm the only genius in the whole world?!"

Now, looking at the sorcerers who were just as arrogant as Alvis, a smile appeared on Celia's lips.

That's how it should be.

These sorcerers may be humble in other ways, but in their own field, they certainly wouldn't condone Celia's boastful words.

It's like a professor asking a group of graduate students to assist a high school student in their research; none of the graduate students would really be happy to do so.

Celia is somewhat famous in magic circles, but in terms of scrolls, she can't be called famous; she's practically unknown.

If she were more modest, everyone would be nice to her and everyone else.

She immediately declared, "I'm an all-around genius..."

How could anyone possibly be happy about that?

The sorcerer who stood up said, "Whether you're a genius or not, we'll only know in ten years. What we need to do now is cooperate with the Knights of the Law in suppressing the heretics using the scroll. I heard that you developed this scroll spell. Admittedly, you do have considerable talent in magic. However, scrolls and spells are somewhat different, perhaps..."

"Stop talking nonsense and get started."

Celia waved her hand and took out the scroll rune draft she had drawn with an ordinary pen.

"This is a rune draft, with notes on each rune node and its magic power. There are also a few finished scrolls here. Take a look and compare them with the notes in the draft to familiarize yourself with them first."
