Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint.

Chapter 148 Mirror
"Lord Ross, is Phil really alright?"

"It's nothing, I'm just exhausted, it's a minor issue, I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

On the way back, Celia carried Phil on her back and asked Ross again, only feeling relieved after receiving Ross's affirmative answer once more.

Phil's puppet was programmed to follow Celia's puppet back to the camp.

At this moment, all five puppets were covered with spoils of war.

The numerous marks on their bodies from the monsters indicate that they have been through a fierce battle.

Besides them, Johnson and Adonis, whom Celia had rescued, also helped carry a lot of things.

They obediently followed Celia and the others back, still shaken by the attack from the four monsters.

At this moment, they felt that it was good to be alive.

I will never go near the Gold Coast again.

That's not a place for ordinary mercenaries like them.

After leaving the area of ​​the lost lighthouse, Doris stopped, turned around, and looked at the two mercenaries.

"We've left the Lost Lighthouse. Let's stop here. You can leave your things here and go."

"Okay, thank you all for your help."

The two reluctantly put down the package.

Of all these items, not all of them may be useful, but they can definitely all be sold for money.

Unfortunately, it's not theirs.

Just as they were about to leave, Doris casually took a package from her puppet and tossed it to the two of them.

"This is as a thank you for helping you pack and tidy up. You can see what's inside when you get back."

The two were immediately overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

Doris placed a large bag on the puppet, while carrying the other bag herself. Facing the gazes of the crowd, she snorted, "Don't worry, these two bags belong to everyone. I paid for them myself; it has nothing to do with you."

Benovia laughed and said, "We're a small group now, and we share the spoils. Why would I use your spoils to pay for this? Count me in."

“Count me in too,” Anke said.

“What’s the point of robbing it? Just add it to the team’s payroll,” Celia said.

"Hmph, these mere spoils of war, how much can they sell for? I don't even care about them, I have no need of yours."

"Really?" Celia smiled enigmatically. "These can be exchanged for candidate evaluations when given to the school. Are you sure you don't want them?"

"I..." Doris choked up, but in the end she couldn't bring herself to say no.

She looked down on these things because these were ordinary monster drops and wouldn't sell for much money.

But if handing them over to the school can earn trial points, that's a different story.

“I suggest that everyone take what they need, and then pack up the rest and give it to the school. What do you think?” Benovia suggested.

"Let's go back first. I'm the captain, I know how to allocate resources." After leaving the ruins, Doris reverted to her arrogant and stubborn self. "We'll talk about it when Phil wakes up. Humph, I knew she'd be like this, so troublesome."

Benovia said with a smile, "Captain Doris, you didn't say that back on the Gold Coast."

"Did I...did I say anything? Humph, since Celia is so eager to suffer, then let her memorize it, and let her prepare in advance." Celia rolled her eyes and didn't say anything.

The group resumed their journey and soon returned to the school's camp.

Upon entering, the school instructors saw Phil on Celia's back and immediately notified their team leader, Abros.

Abros arrived quickly, reaching the five in no time. He then flashed to Celia's side and reached out to check on Phil's condition.

After confirming that she was alright, Abros looked at Captain Doris and asked, "What happened on your adventure today? Why did Phil collapse from exhaustion?"

As Doris walked, she said, "We entered the Gold Coast, cleared an area, and then Phil purified that area before passing out."

After giving a brief explanation, Doris opened the video recorded by the bracelet and projected it into the air in front of her, giving Abros a general understanding of the situation at the time.

Abros looked at the group and said with a wry smile, "You guys are moving a bit too fast."

"Is it fast?" Celia blinked. "I feel like it's going too slowly. I was hoping to reach that cave today and solve the source of the pollution."

Abros paused slightly, "You've found the source of the pollution?"

Celia said, "I guessed it. The area we entered is in the central area closer to the lighthouse. I noticed a peculiar mountain peak to the south of the lighthouse, and at the foot of the mountain is a large cave. That could be the source of the pollution."

Abros nodded: "Then, your next task is to enter that cave."

He then looked at Phil and reminded him, "But we can't take such risks in the future."

“Especially Doris, as the captain, you should have led everyone to proceed cautiously. What kind of talk is it to rush straight to the Gold Coast and then deal with the monsters chasing us?” As he spoke, Abros was both amused and exasperated.

Facing the professor, Doris dared not be as defiant as she was with her peers. She lowered her head and said, "I know I was wrong, Professor Abrose."

After admitting her mistake, she looked up and asked, "Professor Abros, how are the other Tier 2 teams doing?"

Abros said, "They can't compare to you. They've only just approached the Gold Coast and won't start entering it until tomorrow."

"So, does that mean we can explore with the other teams tomorrow?"

“Not necessarily.” Abros shook his head. “The Lost Lighthouse is called Lost because its coordinates have been lost. What we see now is just a phantom image of it. In reality, it has already entered the subspace.”

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned for a moment.

"Do you remember the thick fog that appeared when we entered the lighthouse's range? That was a symbol of entering the subspace. The lighthouse divides the area into many similar mirrored regions to prevent outside intrusion and exploration. Only after it is completely purified can that area be freed from the ruins."

Doris asked blankly, "Professor Abros, why didn't you tell us this yesterday?"

“These are things you’d have to talk about on the Gold Coast, but who knew you’d make it all the way there in a day?” Abros sighed. “So, you might not run into any other teams.”

Benovia raised a crucial question: "If the area we purified today doesn't reach today's mirror image area tomorrow, won't we need to purify it again?"

Abros shook his head again and said, "If the purification is complete, it won't happen. The lighthouse generates many mirror areas, but the pollution is interconnected. As long as there are no residues, no matter which mirror space that area is in, no monsters will be generated in a short period of time. Don't worry."

The girls breathed a sigh of relief.

As they chatted, they arrived at the school's registration area.

At this time, many teams had already returned to report.

But no team was like Celia's team, with everyone carrying large and small bags as if they were moving house.

Their appearance attracted everyone's attention.
