Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

"There seems to be something..."

As Celia spoke, she revealed her usual expression.

Even with my eyes closed, I can figure out what it is.

Isn't it just a heretical stronghold?

Celia said she was already used to it.

The girl picked up her staff and went straight over.

Two hours later.

She returned, this time with some more items in her hands.

boom!

An explosion came from behind me, the ground shook violently, as if something had collapsed.

"Here are a few materials that I don't have. I only need 122 more to reach 300 materials. I'll be there soon!"

However, these 122 types are much more difficult to obtain than the more than 180 types collected. They are all uncommon materials, some of which are expensive and have poor versatility. They are only sold in certain places.

I went to the Blue Dragon Empire with the idea of ​​collecting materials along the way.

The stronghold that was just destroyed was a remnant of the Deep Sea Aid Society. The highest-ranking mage inside was only level three, so it was easily dealt with.

Celia didn't pay any attention and continued on her way.

Before nightfall, she entered the territory of the Blue Dragon Empire and, following the map, flew towards the first city in the Blue Dragon Empire, named Vanner City.

This city is located in the mountains and is an important route for the Ishtar Empire to enter the Blue Dragon Empire. Although the mountain road is rugged, the mages who come and go can fly. Those who cannot fly either walk or go to another city and enter from another flatter city.

As they approached the city of Vanner, other mages would occasionally pass by, all of them faster than Celia, quickly overtaking her.

Celia didn't pay any attention and leisurely arrived at the city gate and landed.

Like the southern border city, this border town is also surrounded by walls.

The difference is that the residential areas outside the city of Southern Border City are located on both sides of the city, while there are no residential areas on either side of the main road leading into the city, resulting in a better urban landscape.

The area surrounding Vanner City is full of residential areas, with an environment similar to that of Costa City, only much smaller in scale.

Celia landed outside the city gate, disguised as an ordinary girl, and slowly followed the group forward.

She frowned slightly as she looked at the investigation ahead.

"Something seems off; this screening is too strict," the girl muttered.

Hearing her words, someone from the next group laughed and said, "I could tell you haven't been here lately, otherwise I would know what's going on."

Celia looked over and asked curiously, "Hello friend, what happened in Vanner City?"

The other person smiled without saying a word, and Celia immediately understood what he meant.

This requires money.

Just as she was about to take out her money, the burly man behind her, who appeared to be a mercenary, snorted, "You have the nerve to ask for money for this worthless information? It's just that Vanner City received a death threat from the heretics."

Celia suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. No wonder they're investigating so thoroughly."

The friend who wanted money glared behind him, but when he saw the burly figure behind him, his anger immediately disappeared. He muttered, "Things aren't that simple. There's a lot more to this than meets the eye."

"What inside information? What are you babbling about? Hurry up, there are two empty seats in front of you, get moving," the burly mercenary said.

Celia thanked the burly man, saying, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. We mercenaries should help each other when we're out and about," the burly man said magnanimously.

Celia was taken aback, then realized that she had taken out her mercenary badge.

She planned to use the mercenary guild badge as proof of identity to get away with it.

"A heretical...death threat?"

It's heresy again.

Thank you to reader 20250609222605867 for feeding Celia!

Chapter 463 Someone poisoned me as soon as I arrived?

Am I destined to be forever bound to heresy?

Celia mentally ranted.

But she also knew why.

Because heretics have been making too many big moves lately.

First, the Deep Sea Alliance summoned the White Whale of the Sea in Ember City, and then the Arctic Blood Alliance caused a ruckus in the Mage League.

Of the two incidents, the former was relatively fortunate, as it was resolved before it caused any harm.

The latter caused significant damage, even resulting in the death of the entire population of an entire town.

Two events directly awakened the sense of crisis among the major empires.

They even put aside their prejudices and frictions and cooperated diplomatically to jointly combat heresy.

In a sense, paganism promoted peace among the great empires.

Although it's called a cooperative effort to combat these issues, in reality, apart from those small principalities, the large empires handle everything on their own. Even when faced with issues related to heretics, they don't bring it up in diplomacy.

After all, allowing foreign troops into one's own territory is bound to cause trouble no matter how you look at it.

It doesn't matter if it's a small principality; anyone can bully it.

But what's the situation on the Blue Dragon Empire's side?

Celia was curious, but quickly put her curiosity aside.

none of my business.

I'm here to see Sharon, and I'll buy some materials here while I'm at it.

As for heretics, the vast Blue Dragon Empire will handle that itself; it has nothing to do with me!

Although the dragon language magic of the Blue Dragon Empire is only passed down among a few people, one can imagine that an empire that can dominate the Mage League must be quite powerful.

Therefore, Celia had little interest in the so-called death threat.

She was just passing through Vanuatu.

As she slowly followed the group into the city, she overheard others discussing the matter.

"I wonder which sect this heresy belongs to, that it has attracted such attention from the city lord."

"Who knows if it's true or not? The death threats have been going on for over half a month, and nothing has happened."

"I suspect it's a prank; there's no heretical death threat at all."

"Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. If something really happens, we can just run away."

"..."

After listening for a while, Celia still couldn't figure out what kind of threat the death threat was.

That guy, who seemed to know the inside story and acted all mysterious, kept glancing over.

Celia pretended not to see it.

Whether there's inside information or not, what does it have to do with me?

Soon, it was Celia's turn to join the queue.

She handed the mercenary guild badge to the guard, who looked at the badge, then glanced at Celia and frowned slightly.

Celia disguised herself as an ordinary-looking girl, without such stunning beauty, but the aura she exuded was still unmatched by ordinary girls.

However, the guard was clearly not frowning because of her demeanor.

Celia asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

The guard said coldly, "There's something wrong with your identity."

Celia was taken aback.

Are these two imposters? They actually managed to see through my disguise.

That doesn't make sense, they seem like just ordinary people...

At that moment, Ross's voice came through: "Heh, they just want money, what's the problem?"

Celia suddenly realized.

She smiled, took the mercenary badge, and apologized, "I'm sorry, I forgot to show my identification."

As she spoke, she used ice magic to stick a coin onto the mercenary badge and then handed it over.

The guard sensed something unusual about the badge, feeling its shape and size, and smiled: "It turns out I was mistaken. Your identity is perfectly legitimate. Please enter the city."

Gold, silver, and copper coins differ in size, texture, and weight, and those who handle them frequently can distinguish them by touch.

The guard didn't handle gold coins often, but he remembered their feel.

The person who gives gold coins must be of high status!

The guards calmly retrieved the gold coins and returned the badge to Celia, their expressions becoming slightly more respectful.

After thanking her, Celia entered the city of Vanner.

"Sigh, it's the same everywhere after all."

The girl sighed.

She felt a pang of heartache.

She originally intended to use silver coins, but to her surprise, she pulled out gold coins, only realizing they were gold coins when the guards took them away.

It was too late by then.

"Having too many gold coins isn't a good thing either, I always end up taking the wrong ones."

Ross smiled and said, "Then let's exchange all the gold coins for silver coins and put them in the ring."

“Silver coins don’t look good,” Celia said immediately.

Ross glared at her, annoyed.

Looking around at the buildings, Celia noticed that the architecture of the Blue Dragon Empire was completely different from that of Ishtar, subtly revealing a rugged and arrogant nature.

Rumor has it that their people abandoned their faith in gods and instead worshipped dragons, so their lives began to resemble those of the legendary dragons, and their architectural style became more imposing.

Celia glanced around casually, then found a hotel to stay in.

When I paid, the hotel staff said, "Don't leave the hotel at night for the next two nights."

Celia asked, "Why?"

"Because of the threat of death." The man didn't say more, and then stopped.

"Ok."

Celia didn't pay any attention. She went to her room, tidied up her things, asked the hotel to send her dinner, and then began to plan her itinerary.

"Tomorrow I'll check out the Sorcerer's Guild and the Mercenary's Guild to see if they have the materials I need, then I'll set off again at noon..."

Celia thought to herself.

While waiting, she took out a blank scroll and began to draw.

Before long, the hotel staff brought dinner.

Dinner was simple: a piece of bread and a sandwich, plus a plate of roasted beast meat, which was said to be the meat of a certain type of bovine magical beast, a specialty of the Blue Dragon Empire, and it was delicious.

Celia put down her pen and looked at her dinner. Just as she was about to start eating, Ross's voice suddenly came: "Don't eat the meat."

Celia paused, "Huh?"

"There is poison in the meat."

The girl blinked. "Poison?"

what's the situation?

Didn't I just arrive in Vanuatu?
