Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

Ryan shook his head.

A thought popped into his head: to compare the sorcerer who killed Galton with Celia, then he shook his head.

A third-tier mage is, after all, a third-tier mage; how could he possibly compare to this mysterious high-tier mage?

The situation on the scene proved that Galton's resistance was minimal, and he was clearly being beaten unilaterally. His opponent was at least a fourth-tier mage in the rising stage, and possibly even a fifth-tier mage.

Ryan believed that if he formed a team and used dragon language magic, he could defeat a fourth-tier opponent, but he definitely couldn't defeat one-on-one.

"So this investigation is just for relaxation."

Ryan had no intention of tracking down the mystic.

A mage of at least the fourth rank wants to track him down?

Don't you die?

Let's investigate and find out the specifics.

Rather than capturing and judging the sorcerer, the investigation team focused on understanding the source of the sorcerer's hatred for Galton and why he killed Galton.

If possible, make sure you don't offend the other person before trying to find out what kind of person they are.

Arresting them is just wishful thinking. High-level sorcerers, unless they are heretics who have caused significant damage, should avoid offending them if possible.

If that doesn't work, find out what happened, file a record, and that's it.

Ryan held onto this last thought.

But he also had another idea: to avoid his four 'friends,' get rid of them temporarily, and steal a moment of leisure.

……

After leaving the Sorcerer's Guild, Celia acquired the materials that were the specialty of Dragon Island, and then went to the Mercenary Guild to obtain some from the mercenaries.

Finally, she sat down in the mercenary tavern and began to examine the materials she had obtained.

"A total of 305 types are needed, and we have obtained 288 types so far. We are still 17 types short. These uncommon materials are a bit difficult to obtain."

Some of these 17 items are materials from Frost Star.

There's no need to look for ice elemental cores; they're a reward from the Mage League. Just scrape some fragments off the cores.

"Frost trees are only found in the Northern Alliance. Although these materials can be fused and possess some of the characteristics of the Frost Star, they are different from the Frost Star. They are produced in the real cold regions... If only we could find wild Frost Stars."

Celia muttered a couple of things to herself, then started considering the other materials.

Other materials also have regional characteristics; some can only be found in the Elf Forest, while others only grow near the lairs of certain magical beasts, which are found in other empires.

"Luckily, I have plenty of time, enough for me to make the trip."

There are still nearly three months until the start of the school year, so it doesn't matter if you miss the start of the school year.

After carefully checking everything and writing down the missing materials on a piece of paper, Celia put it away and prepared to leave.

Just then, she overheard the nearby mercenaries discussing something.

"...The volcanoes on Dragon Island have become active again recently. Could it be that the essence of fire is about to condense again?"

"How is that possible? If the essence of fire could condense so easily, Dragon Island would have been prosperous long ago."

"Is Dragon Island underdeveloped?"

“That makes sense… but the volcano on Dragon Island is firmly controlled by the Blue Dragon government, so let’s not even think about trying our luck.”

"Go and join in the fun, even if it's just to see a volcanic eruption, it'll be worth it."

"makes sense."

"It's not that easy for a volcano to erupt. A volcano only erupts when there are no spiritual objects to condense. Ever since the Blue Dragon Empire made Dragon Island its capital and firmly controlled the Dragon Island volcano, the volcano has never erupted, no matter how active it has been."

"That's true. But if a spiritual object condenses, the volcano will also exhibit many abnormal conditions. It's worth taking a look."

"Hey, what good stuff can come out of that volcano? It's not like it used to be. Now, after those high-grade materials are produced, they will leave along the veins of the volcano and appear in other places instead. Only ordinary high-grade materials will appear on the volcano."

"That's right. If you want to try your luck, you should go out more. Going to see a volcano is probably an official conspiracy. They deliberately made us watch a volcanic eruption so that they could take people out to search for high-level materials."

"Come on, let's finish this meal and then we'll take on a job and head out!"

"Let's go!"

"..."

Celia listened attentively for a long time until they shifted the topic to mundane matters, such as the appearance of monsters in a certain place or the occurrence of ethical dramas in a certain mercenary group, before she finally turned her attention away.

"What a coincidence! We just arrived and the Dragon Island volcano erupted, something that only happens once every ten years."

Celia's mind began to wander.

Chapter 476 You are the most promising person

Before coming to the Blue Dragon Empire, Celia had done a detailed preparation.

Especially Long Island, the special capital city.

Legend has it that Dragon Island is the habitat of dragons, but what actually attracted the Blue Dragon Empire to establish its capital was an active volcano on Dragon Island.

This volcano is very active and may erupt once every ten or twenty years.

When it erupts, it causes a large amount of fire element to become active, thereby producing various high-level fire-based materials, such as fire element crystals.

Although the output is low, the quality is high. In addition to high-grade materials, volcanoes also produce many low-grade fire-type materials.

Of course, it was just a resource point, not enough to make the Blue Dragon Empire make it its capital. Celia didn't understand it before, but now she had a vague idea.

This is very likely the location of the dragon's treasure.

The dragon language magic taught at the Blue Dragon Magic Academy was probably acquired while researching the dragon treasure on Dragon Island.

The first stop was Dragon Island, seemingly because of Sharin's matter, but Celia felt that Ross was definitely not that simple.

Looking at it now, maybe I can try my luck and get the Frost Star, saving a lot of money on materials?

"I need to figure out the timing of the volcanic eruption and the formation and solidification of advanced materials, and allocate the time reasonably. While waiting, I'll see if I can go find Sharon."

Celia pondered.

She sat down again, ordered another glass of Blue Dragon Empire specialty juice, and began to listen to the conversations of the mercenaries around her.

By listening for keywords like "Essence of Fire" and "Star of Ice," Celia's powerful mental energy was able to quickly pick them up in the noisy mercenary tavern.

After a long time, she learned a lot of information.

The initial estimate for the volcanic eruption is 10 days from now. Various high-level materials will condense around Dragon Island one or two days after the volcanic activity subsides.

Generally speaking, each eruption will result in the creation of a high-level material, and what kind of material will be created depends on the activity level of the elements during the volcanic eruption.

Whether it's the official Blue Dragon Empire or the general public, they have thoroughly studied the activity over a long period of time and determined what materials it would condense when it first became active.

This time, however, it is a special high-grade material—the essence of fire.

This is the only type of spiritual item that can simultaneously produce another high-grade material during the condensation process, essentially a buy-one-get-one-free deal, which is very attractive. Many mercenaries who received the news are discussing it and preparing to go out and try their luck.

If it condenses inside a volcano, then it's a pity.

"It turns out it was born after volcanic activity..."

After a moment's thought, Celia decided to stay here for half a month.

"I'll spend half a month finding some time to ask people to help me find those materials that are special to the orcs and elves, and then I'll check on Sharin's situation when I have some free time..."

Planning the next steps in her mind, Celia looked at Ross sitting opposite her and asked, "Lord Ross, what do you think of this plan?"

Ross chuckled, "So-so. If it were me, the Essence of Fire and the Star of Ice would be my targets."

Celia pouted: "If the Frost Star falls into the hands of the heretics, I'm confident I'll encounter it again. But if it's something else, I'd better not even think about it."

Celia is pessimistic about her talent for treasure hunting.

Making trouble is fine, but treasure hunting is out of the question.

Unless she's searching for treasure in ancient ruins and needs Ross's guidance, Celia doesn't believe she can find treasure by luck.

Ross smiled slightly, "Just do what you think is right, and don't neglect your cultivation during this time."

Celia nodded. "No way!"

After listening for a while longer without hearing anything interesting or surprising, Celia paid the bill and left.

She looked at the map, arrived at the vicinity of the volcano, and prepared to find a hotel to stay in.

however……

"What? There's only one room left, and it costs 40 silver coins a night?" Celia's eyes widened, unable to believe her ears.

A typical inn costs only 1-2 silver coins per night, and the most expensive one Celia stayed in was only 5 silver coins per night.

The inn in front of us costs 40 silver coins.

Celia left immediately and found another place.

"You want 50 silver coins? That's outrageous."

"You want 30 silver coins? That's a bit cheap... what a joke!"

Although Celia is now rolling in money, it's all for buying materials, and she doesn't want to waste her gold coins on housing.

These hotels, in particular, clearly took advantage of the volcanic eruption to deliberately raise their prices.

This makes it even less likely that they will get their way.

As darkness fell, Celia decided to settle for a hotel that was relatively far from the volcano.

The price is finally a bit lower this time.

"But 10 silver coins a night is still quite expensive."

There are also 5 silver coins, but the environment is too bad. During this time, Celia needs to use a large space to do some things, such as drawing scrolls.

Gritting my teeth, I'll make do with 10 silver coins.

"15 days is 150 silver coins, a little over 1 gold coin..."

While Celia was still calculating, Ross was somewhat speechless: "Why worry about such a small amount of money? Your gold coins will only increase."

“If you save money, you’ll spend even more!” Celia retorted.

Ross shook his head. "Whatever."

Although Celia was meticulous about her daily expenses, she didn't hesitate when it came to buying materials, and Ross didn't pay any attention to her dilemma.

Seeing that she was still calculating, Ross shook his head.

Using Ethel to sense the location of the divine fragments that Shalin had obtained, Ross vanished into thin air in a flash.

The next moment, he arrived at the other end of Dragon Island volcano, inside a small manor.

In the courtyard of the manor, Celia's classmate, a girl named Shalin, was listening intently to an old woman who looked like an ordinary old lady.

“Shalin, this is a great opportunity. Your magic can cool down the boiling fire element. With the help of Dragon Island Volcano, we may be able to fulfill the commander’s wish.”

Ross scanned the old woman and found that she was a sixth-rank mage with a total magical power that had reached the limit of human potential.

Unfortunately, she had entered the God Realm multiple times to undergo the Ascension Trials, but sadly, she had not been able to find a way to break through her limits and had stopped at the sixth level.

Or rather, most of the existing elderly sorcerers, if they have enough talent, have reached the limits of human potential.

What's missing is a way to break through the limits.

"The method of sealing a sorcerer's breakthrough is a good way to delay my breaking the seal."

Ross seemed to be deep in thought.

At the same time, Sharon looked up at the kind old lady and couldn't help but ask, "Grandma Pera, can you really do it?"

Pera sighed, "I don't know, but we have to try to find out. You are the most talented child of this generation, with the highest level of divine affinity, and you have also received divine inheritance. You have the best chance."

Charlene nodded emphatically: "I understand."

Chapter 477 Ross is listening in

Ross watched the conversation between the old man and the young man with a complicated expression.

He already had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.
