Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

Chapter 482 How did you get arrested again?

As all the magic crystals thrown into the magma were activated, the entire internal passage of the volcano immediately transformed into a magic circle, with the node of the magic circle being the volcanic lake in the cave.

When the magic circle is activated, the active fire element immediately surges into the magic circle, cooling the surrounding heat.

Shalin took a deep breath, lightly jumped onto the central lava lake, took out the fragment of divinity, and closed her eyes.

Beside her, besides Pera who was protecting her, Ross was also watching quietly.

Because the magic circle is too large, it takes some time to activate.

At this moment, due to the manipulation of fire element by the magic array, the fire element inside the volcano increased instead of decreased, becoming even more active.

Ross's phantom appeared beside Celia and chuckled, "Aren't you going in to take a look?"

A clear longing was evident in Celia's eyes.

She actually wanted to go inside and watch the volcanic eruption up close, to see the scorching lava, and to witness the birth of the spirit.

But she did not make a move.

The girl shook her head: "It's too dangerous. Besides, no matter how those people fight over it, the Blue Dragon Empire's official government will definitely be the one to benefit in the end."

Letting people from other countries and races in, Celia didn't believe that the powerful Blue Dragon Empire would really let its most precious spiritual treasures be handed over to others.

Instead of searching for ethereal and elusive spiritual objects, it's better to stay outside and watch the show.

Not only her, but many others also didn't get in.

Celia discovered that there were quite a few bards inside, playing harps to accompany the volcanic eruption.

The bard is chanting poems about a major struggle a century ago, telling the people nearby what happened at Dragon Island volcano.

Some bards recorded what was happening on the mountain from afar.

At this time, no struggle has yet occurred.

Because the treasure hasn't been revealed yet.

If we don't get out of here, then the struggle is meaningless.

Perhaps this has come to a peaceful end.

But nobody thinks that way.

Ross looked at the volcano that was continuously spewing lava and chuckled, "Go ahead. There's no need to crave spiritual treasures. This volcano is special. It will spew out things buried deep underground, such as dragon treasures. Take a stroll inside, and you might find something good. Even if you don't find anything, you can still pick up some materials, such as volcanic rock, which is a good fire-type material."

Celia hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's follow Lord Ross's instructions and go in for a bit!"

With that, the girl eagerly grabbed a broom and rushed into the volcanic area.

Ross gave her a light tap on the head, clearly annoyed.

……

at the same time.

somewhere.

Two catgirls, Meow White and Meow Blue, secretly sneaked into the volcano area.

The lava from the volcanic eruption had already spilled down, and the two were hopping and leaping, picking up things that had burst out of the volcanic ash.

"Collect more volcanic rocks to take back; this is what our tribe needs most!"

"Meow Blue understands, it's so heavy, whew, Meow White, do you want to go up there and take a look?"

"No, no, it's too dangerous up there. We're just here to collect some volcanic rocks. Sigh, if there were volcanoes around our tribe, we wouldn't have to come all this way."

"Stupid Meow White, only volcanic rocks from Dragon Island are effective; they can't be found anywhere else."

"Miao Lan is the idiot! You're packing ordinary stones in your backpack like they're volcanic rocks. Don't you think it's heavy?!"

"Whew, Meow Blue is so heavy! There were ordinary stones after all? Those damned stones, they tricked Meow Blue!"

"Meow Blue...wait, what's that up ahead?"

Miao Bai suddenly pointed ahead, and hidden among the boulders and dense forest, a seemingly man-made wall suddenly appeared in their line of sight.

Miao Lan sniffed ahead: "What an awful smell, just like the people who captured us. Miao Bai, don't go over there."

"It tastes the same! It must be those despicable slave traders! Let's sneak over and take a look."

"No, what if we get caught? This time, our savior won't be here to save us."

"We just need to be careful. There must be people inside who have been captured. Our benefactor rescued us, so we should go and rescue others too."

"Well……"

"let's go."

"OK then."

……

Celia did not go up directly.

According to the information we've gathered, this is just the beginning. Although lava has already spewed out, apart from the first two bursts, the rest are very small, and it's not yet at its most active stage.

If you missed the first two spectacular lava eruptions, there's no need to rush.

At this moment, along with the volcanic eruption, various magical materials buried deep within the volcano were ejected and scattered throughout many places within the volcanic area.

Celia slowly made her way forward, casually picking up some volcanic rocks that looked decent along the way.

"Volcanic rock is a substitute for elemental crystal cores. It can be used to set up small magic arrays or when fire-type materials are needed. It is very versatile and should not be missed."

Volcanic rocks with fire element are only produced when a volcano erupts and the fire element is active. Ordinary volcanic eruptions only produce ordinary volcanic rocks, which are not very useful.

The volcanic rocks from Long Island are of pretty good quality.

As she slowly searched for volcanic rocks and other fire-based materials along the way, she suddenly noticed a different landscape in front of her.

“There seems to be a man-made wall there… no, there are fluctuations in pollution.”

Celia blinked. "No way, there are heretical strongholds in the center of Dragon Island, and within the Dragon Island volcanic area?"

If you encounter it, you won't miss it.

He activated his disguise spell, blending into the environment, and quietly approached. He scanned the area with his mind and discovered that it was just a small outpost, with a third-tier mage in charge.

These sorcerers, unlike the Deep Sea Aid Society and the Arctic Blood Alliance, were not heretics forcibly indoctrinated; they appeared to be heretics who simply used pollution to cultivate.

“Something seems off. It’s like they were corrupted after they had cultivated to the first or second level normally.”

After a moment's thought, Celia immediately understood what was going on.

The Tower of Depravity excels at using pollution to bewitch people, inducing them to unleash their various desires, and then using these desires to guide them to join the Tower of Depravity.

These heretics are clearly sorcerers converted by the Tower of the Fallen through corruption and bewitching.

Celia could now sense the fluctuations of the fourth tier. After confirming that there were no fourth-tier mages in this small stronghold, she rushed in and used a purification spell to dispel the pollution from everyone. Then she used ice magic to freeze and bind them.

"Since you are just ordinary sorcerers who have been bewitched, I'll spare you... Hmm? There seems to be someone else."

Celia sensed something, entered a house, and saw several cages inside, one of which...

The two catgirls they had encountered earlier were locked up there.

The three exchanged glances. Miao Bai blushed and lowered her head, while Miao Lan waved excitedly, "Our benefactors, our benefactors, we're here! We're here!"

Celia remained silent, and the past opened up to them.

"Why have you been arrested again?"

Chapter 483 Sacrificing the Elves with Blood?

With Miao Bai's explanation, Celia understood how they had been captured.

Celia said speechlessly, "With your strength, what are you doing getting involved? You think you can take care of heretical strongholds? Back when I was at the second tier, I only dared to... Oh, I forgot, I had already taken care of many heretical strongholds by the time I was at the second tier."

Miao Bai bowed deeply: "Thank you for saving me again, my benefactor!"

Celia said, "Didn't you say you came here on a trip? How did you end up here?"

The two exchanged a glance, and Miao Bai said, "I'm sorry, I kept it from our benefactor before. Actually, we came all the way to Dragon Island for the volcanic rocks of Dragon Island."

"There are volcanoes all over the world, not just on Dragon Island. There are some within the Orc Empire as well, right?"

“There aren’t any around our tribe. The volcano in the Orc Empire is occupied by the Tiger Clan, and the volcanic rocks it produces are of poor quality.”

"What are you doing here specifically to obtain volcanic rock?"

"This concerns the evolution of our tribe's totem, and we cannot disclose the specifics. We apologize." Miao Bai bowed again.

Celia waved her hand, "Alright, alright, we can't just leave it at that. You've gotten quite a few volcanic rocks, haven't you? Hurry up and leave."

The two shook their heads, and Miao Lan said, "Miao Lan can't leave yet. Besides the volcanic rock, we also need lava fire, and we can't leave now either."

Celia raised an eyebrow. "Why can't we leave?"

Miao Bai said, "Don't you know, benefactor? Although the Blue Dragon Empire doesn't restrict people from coming in, it's very difficult to leave. We need to pay Blue Dragon Empire gold coins for what we get inside to leave. We plan to wait until everyone clashes with the Blue Dragon Empire and then leave during the chaos."

"The Blue Dragon Empire takes money? I didn't know that."

No wonder the Blue Dragon Empire isn't worried at all.

So they were waiting outside, letting others in, hoping to generate revenue through them.

A single volcanic rock isn't expensive, but many volcanic rocks are not so cheap.

You can't say you found it yourself, after all, this is the capital city center, and under the laws of the Blue Dragon Empire, it belongs to the Blue Dragon Empire. Anything taken from inside belongs to the Blue Dragon Empire, so it's normal for them to ask for a certain amount of money to take the things inside.

Ross laughed and said, "It's like this volcano is the Blue Dragon Empire's orchard, and outsiders come in to pick things, which is like entering their orchard to pick fruit. No one knows how much you eat inside, but if you want to take it out, you have to pay."

Celia suddenly realized.

Miao Lan said, "Their fees are too high. One volcanic rock costs 1 gold coin. We can't afford it, and many other people can't afford it either. Every time there's a riot, we plan to sneak out then."

"Are you... sure you can sneak out?"

Celia was highly suspicious.

Given these two situations where we get caught every now and then, should we try to sneak out? What if we get caught again?

Miao Bai confidently declared, "We have connections; we'll definitely be able to get out."

Celia thought for a moment and said, "Then you guys wait for me. I don't want to pay either."

I found this, I found it by my own skill, why would I pay for it?

Celia didn't want to pay either.

Volcanic rocks usually cost only 20 silver coins each. Even if the volcanic rocks from Dragon Island are a bit special, they shouldn't sell for 1 gold coin each.

The main problem is that the volcanic rocks here are very small, only the size of a candy bean, which is a huge loss.

"That's great! With our benefactor by our side, we're sure to get out safely," Miao Lan said happily.

Miao Bai said, "Then let's go and wait for our benefactor. It's in the north of the volcanic area. There's a ravine there, and there's a mark near the ravine. We'll wait for our benefactor there."

"Blue Meow has excellent eyesight! It'll definitely be able to see our benefactor as long as he flies nearby!"

Celia nodded. "Okay, you guys go ahead then."

Miao Bai said, "Benefactor, could you help us find the Lava Fire? The Lava Fire can only be found on the top of a volcano or inside a volcano, but we can't get in..."

"Of course, but it won't be free."

"Yes, yes! We know! We will definitely give our benefactor a satisfactory reward!"

"..."

Once outside, Celia suddenly noticed that the bound third-order heretic had woken up.

His eyes were blank. After the three of them came out, his gaze fixed on Celia.

He opened his mouth and said hoarsely, "Th-thank you."

Celia was taken aback, then walked over and asked with interest, "What are you thanking me for?"

He was very weak after the pollution in his body was forcibly purified, and he was panting heavily when he spoke: "Thank you... for letting me... be free. Damn Tower of Depravity... you actually lied to me."

Celia asked, "What did they lie to you about?"
